long night fire

After several rotations, a faint light lit up on the horizon.

After breakfast, several members of the "Old Tune Group" separately asked everyone in the forward camp to see if they had ever seen a creature similar to a nightmare horse.

This time, no matter who they were, they were all polite and nice to them.

"Have you ever seen a horse? It's black, not as tall as me, the color of the mane and tail is like blood that has been frozen for a long time, and the eyes are similar..." After asking a lot, Shang Jianyao found the camp hotel. boss.

They had never actually seen the Nightmare Horse, and all descriptions of the Nightmare Horse's appearance came from Qiao Chu.

The owner of the hotel is also not young, his sideburns are already gray, he said doubtfully:

"I've seen it, did you lose it?"

"Where did you see it?" Shang Jianyao asked excitedly, and Jiang Baimian suddenly became energetic.

The boss recalled:

"It looks special, and I am very impressed.

"Some time ago, our side was short of animals to transport supplies to the mountains, so we asked the homeless people in the surrounding gathering places for help, and someone brought such a horse.

"It works so hard that I want to buy it, but the man won't sell it."

In many places in the mountains, it is difficult for vehicles to move, and materials can only be transported by livestock, or carried by humans on their shoulders.

"After that period of work, it was taken away." The boss continued, "I paid a total of 15 Ore coins."

Jiang Baimian was very dazed, wondering if the boss had mistaken the horse.

Nightmare horse actually came to the forward camp to work as a coolie and deliver supplies?

This is a very powerful deformed creature!

After repeated inquiries by Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao, the boss said that there was indeed such a horse.

"I understand!" Shang Jianyao suddenly clenched his right fist and punched his left palm.

"What?" Jiang Baimian asked subconsciously.

Shang Jianyao replied seriously:

"It's working to make money."

"Ah? Why?" Jiang Baimian couldn't understand at all.

Shang Jian Yao said with a look of relief:

"Earn rent, electricity and water bills for Xiao Chong."

He seems to think that raising pets to this extent is already enviable.

"..." Jiang Baimian had this feeling again. Although it is very strange, it seems that it is not impossible for it to happen to a strange creature.

But, the majestic "King of the Unintentional" also has to pay rent, water, and electricity?

At this time, the hotel owner looked at them suspiciously and said:

"The little Chong you are talking about is the one who brought it here?"

1 Chapter [-] Situation

Jiang Baimian intuitively believed that the person who sent the Nightmare Horse was not Xiao Chong.

Her reason is that a guy like Xiao Chong who "is too lazy to go out and just wants to play games" will not be busy with these things himself except for the occasional need to relax and move around.

Shang Jianyao obviously felt the same way.

"What does that person look like?" Jiang Baimian asked.

The innkeeper recalled:

"He was about the same height as me, and his hair was black, matted, greasy...

"He looked very strong, very strong, in a white vest and a light black coat...

"He has a thick and thick beard, the hair on the back of his hands is very dark, and he wears a pair of sunglasses on his face, which cover his eyes...

"He is very introverted, very dull, and he talks very little, uh, he doesn't seem to have talked much. I offered 10 Ores, and he shook his head. When I offered 15 Ores, he nodded and left the horse. Then, come and take the horse away according to the date I gave..."

The more Jiang Baimian heard it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Relying on the auxiliary chip in the biological prosthesis, she quickly remembered a person with a similar image.

That's not a normal human being, but an "unintentional person"!

In the ruins of Swamp No. 1, underground of the "Urban Smart Network Control Center", near the room where Xiao Chong played games, the "Old Tune Group" once encountered a female "higher heartless person" who was giving birth, and guarded her The male "unintentional person" around him was quite similar to what the hotel owner described, regardless of his image characteristics or part of his clothes.

Could it be that the hotel owner made a deal with a "higher heartless person"?Although that person can't speak and can't understand too complicated sentences, he seems to understand the price... Is this what Xiao Chong deliberately instilled?Jiang Baimian's eyes moved slightly, feeling that this matter was extremely absurd and terrifying.

What happens around Xiao Chong is always unimaginable.

After thinking about it, Jiang Baimian decided not to tell the boss the truth, because it was unnecessary, and because it might scare the other party.

Normal human beings can't accept that they have made a deal with an "unintentional person" face to face.

She considered it for a while and said:

"It's not Xiao Chong, Xiao Chong is a child."

The hotel owner showed a suddenly realized expression:

"That man rents out horses to earn rent, electricity, water and food for his children?"

Although it is true that this is the case, it is much, much more complicated than you imagined... Jiang Baimian muttered, nodded and said:

"We'll ask other hunters to see if anyone has seen that man and that horse."

The hotel owner was taken aback and said:

"He disappeared?

"Could it be that white wolf who did it?"

He thought that Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao were looking for friends who had never returned home.

"Almost." Jiang Baimian said perfunctorily, turned and walked out of the hotel.

In the following time, they, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen asked about the same situation from several relic hunters and camp personnel:

Some people have seen creatures similar to nightmare horses carrying supplies and walking on mountain roads;

Some people have seen it grazing in the place where the main building of the castle raises livestock, keeping a certain distance from other cattle and horses;

Someone once met a man wearing black sunglasses and a white vest. He was in a hurry, and he didn't know where he was going...

"A powerful deformed creature actually earns money by carrying supplies in the camp..." Although Long Yuehong had already verified the matter from the side and thought it should be like this, she still had an incredulous expression.

If all abnormal creatures, high-level unintentional beings, and even those powerful awakeners and reformers can be so down-to-earth and keep themselves safe, the situation of Huitu will be many times better.

At that time, the dawn of a new world should appear.

Yes, Long Yuehong still believes that the "new world" is a fable and a symbol, which represents that mankind has completely stepped out of the shadow of the destruction of the old world, re-established order and civilization, and has a new home.

Bai Chen pursed her lips and said:

"If it didn't happen to Xiao Chong's pet, I would think it was a joke."

When she was a wilderness wanderer and a relic hunter, she also saw some deformed creatures, which were quite terrifying and aggressive, and had no connection with human society and working to make money.

When encountering the Nightmare Horse for the first time, Bai Chen also felt that this deformed creature was extremely dangerous when he heard Qiao Chu talk about it.

Today, most of the mysterious and terrifying image of the nightmare horse collapsed in her heart.

Shang Jian Yao nodded with satisfaction:

"This shows that Xiao Chong is a law-abiding person, but he doesn't like to go out and likes to play games."

You really regard Xiao Chong as a friend... Don't forget that the "innocent disease" epidemic in the original city may have something to do with Xiao Chong... Jiang Baimian didn't say what was in his heart, and said with a "hmm":

"15 Aore won't be able to last long in the initial city. Is Nightmare Horse and the 'Higher Heartless One' working in certain settlements or forward camps in the mountains?"

The sleeping cat image is too scary to be in contact with humans.

"Maybe." Long Yuehong couldn't deny this guess.

Bai Chen then said:

"Then let's expand the scope of the inquiry."

Anyway, the "Old Tune Team" will look for other entrances and exits of the cave, and they may pass by other forward camps and other settlements of wilderness wanderers.

"Yes." Jiang Baimian nodded, "Actually, there is another idea."

"What?" Gnawa worked hard to collect data, trying to establish an analysis model for Jiang Baimian.

Jiang Baimian said:

"It now appears that when Xiao Chong left the Swamp No. 1 ruins, in addition to taking away the two major pets, the Nightmare Horse and the Sleeping Cat, there was also a group of 'higher heartless people' following.

"Where are these 'higher heartless beings', you say?"

"Work to make money!" Shang Jianyao replied without hesitation.

Without waiting for Jiang Baimian to stare over, he said to himself:

"Judging from the situation at the time, some of the 'advanced heartless people' will stay with Xiao Chong, guard him and protect him, while the other part will go out to find food and control the ordinary 'heartless people' in the ruins of the city."

"Yes." Jiang Baimian breathed out, "So, there should be several 'advanced unintentional persons' beside Xiao Chong now. Although they have a certain amount of wisdom, the level is obviously not high, and they are often Instinctive control, when we return to the original city, we can try to start from this point, use the instinct of the 'heartless' to fish them out, and then find Xiao Chong."

This... the team leader even wants to deceive the "advanced unintentional person"... Long Yuehong was speechless inwardly.

He thinks this plan is very feasible.

Shang Jian Yao then smiled and said:

"Maybe it doesn't need to be so troublesome. Maybe Nightmare Horse and Sleeping Cat will tell him that I am looking for Xiao Chong, and he will come to see me in person."

"Hope." Jiang Baimian replied perfunctorily.

She immediately showed a thoughtful expression:

"Judging from last night's situation, the scope of An Mian Mao's ability is not much larger than Shang Jianyao's, and Nightmare Horse's is not as terrifying as we expected..."

After discussing this topic for a while, Gnawa and Shang Jianyao continued to study various electronic components that can be collected at present.

This is what they exchanged for some of the previous spoils.

Long Yuehong was busy for a while, and stood up a little bored.

He has always said that his grades are average, which is true.

In college, he has been struggling to get up and down, and he doesn't like his major very much. The reason for choosing it when applying for the exam is that it is relatively easier to be assigned to a better job.

Jiang Baimian glanced at him, smiled and said:

"This matter doesn't require so many people, and it doesn't make sense for you to stay here. Why don't you go to the camp? Well, maybe you can find out some information."

"Okay." Long Yuehong was about to walk around, so she quickly agreed.

Based on the principle of not letting the team members be left alone, Bai Chen followed him.

When entering the main building of the castle, a young man with flaxen hair and eyes of the same color came out and passed them.

At this moment, Long Yuehong seemed to feel the gaze full of hatred.

He subconsciously looked sideways at the other person, who lowered his head and hurried away.

Long Yuehong looked puzzled, and Bai Chen said in a low voice:

"I remember him, his companion died at our hands."

"Is that so..." Long Yuehong suddenly realized.

Bai Chen glanced back, and calmly asked:

"Want to find a chance to kill him?"

"Uh, no, no need." Long Yuehong shook her head hastily.

He felt that the "Old Tune Group" didn't need to be afraid of this level of hatred. He and others had enough power to protect themselves, so there was no need to kill more.

Bai Chen didn't say much, and entered the main building of the castle first.

……

A few days later, when Waite returned from the original city, Ron and another survivor were almost healed. They led the "Old Tune Team" and the group of lone hunters separately, and searched for other survivors in the forest. Cave entrance.
