long night fire

"Are you looking forward to the information and words left by Ao Lei?" He smiled and said to his intelligent companion, "When you get it, you will know why Ao Lei was wary of 'Source Brain' and why he left 'Mechanical Paradise' in the first place. , It is not too uncommon for father and son to turn against each other."

"It's not the real father and son..." Gnava replied following the procedure, but stopped before finishing his sentence.

……

The next morning, Vice Minister of Security Xi Yu entered his office on the 646th floor.

After making tea in an orderly manner, and looking at the news on the intranet, Xiyu picked up the first document at hand.

This is a telegram from the "Old Tune Group".

Another telegram?Is it money this time, or information?Xiyu chuckled lightly, talking to himself in his heart.

She really wanted to read this telegram until the end, lest there be one more troublesome but not difficult thing in the beautiful morning.

At that time, the minister may write in the instructions:

"Minister Xiyu, please explain why they applied for funding three times in just one month?"

Phew... Xiyu let out a breath, opened the sealed bag, and took out the telegram inside.

She glanced quickly, and her expression gradually became exciting.

"So they broke the 'virtual world' and got information from Marcus?" Xi Yu couldn't help but make a sound.

In her opinion, even if the awakeners at the level of the "spiritual corridor" are sent, there is not much hope for the success of this matter, otherwise, the secrets held by Marcus and Avia for so many years have long been lost.

And the "Old Tune Group" actually completed this extremely difficult task!

Even if they didn't choose Avia, who was more "dangerous" and difficult to break through, it would be very difficult to get in touch with Marcus, figure out the password, and escape from the "virtual world".

This is completely beyond the strength positioning of the "No.11 Old Tune Group" in the company.

Xiyu continued to read the content behind the telegram, and unconsciously slowed down.

She quickly figured out the key to the success of the "No.11 Old Tune Group", which is Jiang Baimian's group:

They first took advantage of the contradiction between the "Dragon Sect" and the "Mirror Sect" to obtain the most likely price to be paid by the awakened person at the "spiritual corridor" level, and then, while waiting again and again, they recorded "Tao and Electrical Maintenance" Something on the radio.

Prepared accordingly, they cut the powerful recording into a song that makes anyone who hears it want to go to the bathroom.

"They actually figured out a way to record Wu Meng's words? Don't you know it's dangerous? Once Wu Meng finds out, they will be in trouble." Xiyu whispered in surprise and amused, "However, this is indeed a There is a way, but it depends on luck, maybe ten days and a half months, or even a year and a half, there will be no words that can be used, well, I have to remind them in the call back, and try to make similar attempts as little as possible.”

So far, Xi Yu has understood that the success of the "No.11 Old Tune Group" has its own reasons, and their strength has skyrocketed for no reason.

"'Smart' is often ranked before 'strength'." The deputy minister praised, and then frowned, "With so many uncertain factors, they took direct action? No Think about what will happen if you fail?"

While thinking about it, Xi Yu probably guessed what Jiang Baimian was planning by combining multiple similar failure cases.

She picked up the azure ceramic teacup angrily and amusedly, and took a sip.

As for Jiang Baimian's team's inquiry about the follow-up arrangement, because it has involved important matters, it is not up to her, a deputy security minister, to decide.

This has to be discussed by the board of directors.

……

In the morning, a group of five people from the "Old Tune Group" who had restored their original appearance came to the Hunter's Guild of the First City.

Their goal today is to find Han Wanghuo, and stop by to ask if any hunters have completed the previously hung task.

——The task of finding the family members of Waite and his companions.

Finding the corresponding window, Long Yuehong took out the order form and her hunter badge, and asked eagerly:

"Is there a result?"

The female staff behind the window made an inquiry and said:

"Yes.

"Do you need to talk face-to-face with the completer, or just read the printed materials?"

Long Yuehong was about to answer the first one, when Bai Chen said:

"Just look at the information."

Uh... Long Yuehong was puzzled and asked another question:

"I thought this matter was very simple, why did no one complete it until today?"

"Yesterday." The female staff member made a correction.

Then, she added:

"There have been two completed records before, but they were both confirmed to be false by us. Some relic hunters want to swindle the materials in your hands."

"Ah?" Long Yuehong was momentarily at a loss.

Bai Chen explained in a low voice:

"Under conditions, the guild will verify the results.

"Credit is the core element for the guild to operate."

That's it... no wonder the Hunter's Guild has grown to this level... Long Yuehong waited for the printing of the materials while feeling emotional.

At this time, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian were idly looking at the big screen to see what special tasks they had recently.

Soon, they noticed a huge reward:

"As long as you can catch one of them, you can receive [-] Ore, unlimited times."

"If you catch one, you can pay off the rest of the debt..." Shang Jianyao moved his gaze upwards, and read the main content with interest.

Jiang Baimian is also a little interested in this.

In the next second, Shang Jianyao touched his mouth, and said to himself in doubt:

"Sange de la Ser... the name sounds familiar."

The corner of Jiang Baimian's mouth moved slightly, and he couldn't help but glance at this guy:

Isn't that your pseudonym?

Chapter 136 "The Way of Making Money"

Jiang Baimian also read the mission description, and found out his alias as no surprise.

Obviously, the master of the "Virtual World" and some high-level officials in the "Initial City" have already reacted, knowing that the password held by Marcus has been stolen, and they are trying to drive a large number of relic hunters through the Hunter's Guild in the form of missions, Help with investigation.

Of course, this must be only part of the hunting measures. Those powerful characters in "Hand of Order" and some elite teams of the military have also invested in finding the criminal with a high probability.

"I'll give you [-] Ore if you catch one." Unlike before, who was excited by the huge reward, Shang Jianyao was a little bit aggrieved now.

His tone revealed the meaning of "the bounty is too low".

Jiang Baimian can understand where this guy's "dissatisfaction" lies:

I and others got a crucial secret from a "spiritual corridor" level awakener who can create a "virtual world", and they were rewarded with a reward of 1 Ore per person.

"It's much more expensive than a ton of flour." Jiang Baimian casually reassured Qiao Chu as an example.

"That is, as long as you give valid clues, you can get a ton of flour. This has to be caught." Of course, Shang Jianyao is not so easy to fool.

The difficulty of the two is simply not the same.

On Qiao Chu's mission, the "Old Tune Team" was even able to split the information into several pieces, each of which was exchanged for a ton of flour.

——The reward for providing clues this time is divided into three levels: 50 Ore, 100 Ore, and 300 Ore.

Jiang Baimian didn't dwell on this topic, and re-read the description of the task.

The issuer is the "Hand of Order", an official organization with sufficient credit. They didn't mention the rewards for the three targets because the other party contacted the key protected objects in the arena and stole important secrets. They just sent Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao He and Long Yuehong were classified as the accomplices of the murderer of the last assassination case. They suspected that they were planning a big conspiracy against the "First City", so the reward amount was greatly increased.

Well, anyway, it doesn’t matter whether it involves secrets or not. Failure to catch people on the spot means that the secrets will inevitably be leaked and cannot be stopped... "The First City" is not trying to cut off the dissemination of information, but to figure out where exactly it is. Fang's forces did it, hehe, revenge by the way... Jiang Baimian looked at the big screen, thinking steadily.

The target portrait given by the "Hand of Order" is from the camera, which is not so clear. Some corrections have been made in conjunction with witnesses. Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian have made major changes to make themselves look like Honghe people. , As long as they don't meet acquaintances face to face, they are not afraid of being recognized.

Although Long Yuehong was still playing the gray earth man, he also had a disguise, and he didn't even leave a pseudonym, so he was called "the third criminal" in the mission description.

At this time, while waiting for the information to be printed out, he also discovered the task with a rich bounty to a certain extent.

Fortunately, the focus was on the team leader and Shang Jianyao, and he didn't describe much to me... While he was rejoicing, he lamented the amount of the bounty:

"That's a lot..."

Ten thousand Ore is enough to turn a wanderer in the wilderness into a "decent person" with houses and shops in the city. As long as he can maintain stability in the future, he will live a good life.

Hearing Long Yuehong's emotion, Shang Jianyao turned his head and said with a smile:

"Yes, there are quite a few!"

While speaking, he looked Long Yuehong up and down, as if he was counting ten thousand ores.

If you have the ability, you hand in yourself!Long Yuehong was not afraid to speak this time, but the surrounding environment suppressed his impulse.

There are so many relic hunters nearby, who knows if there are any with good hearing!

Shang Jian Yao withdrew his gaze and looked at Jiang Baimian:

"Do you want to pick it up? Anyway, there is no penalty if you don't finish it."

Jiang Baimian pondered for a moment, then said with a smile:

"Okay, even if you can't catch people, you can get a lot of money in exchange for some clues."

"..." Long Yuehong didn't expect the team leader to agree.

"I just hope we can find effective clues before we leave the original city." Jiang Baimian added with pretended emotion.

Long Yuehong understood these words:

What the team leader meant was that when he was about to leave the original city, he got a few pieces of information about his team and submitted them to the "Hand of Order" to extract the remaining value.

This is simply, simply too bad... Long Yuehong held back for a long time, and finally came up with an adjective.

When Shang Jianyao went to pick up the task, Long Yuehong also got information about the family members of Waite and others.

……

Red Giant Wolf District, an earlier community.

The houses here are not too high, and there are many traces of repairs. They are connected to each other, forming a relatively closed area.

Different from the living habits of the Red River Basin in the old world, when the "Original City" was first established, because of the harsh environment and chaotic situation, there were often conflicts, so people in a team were often used to living in adjacent places, watching and helping each other, or Occupy villages that produce food.

In that era, except for some awakened people and subhumans, most human beings survived only in groups. Otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, how many guns can you fire at the same time, and how many "unintentional people" and abnormal creatures can be dealt with?

Based on such "folk customs", in the older communities of the "First City", the tallest building does not exceed five floors, and there are only a few entrances and exits, similar to a city within a city.

Once chaos occurs, this kind of place can hold on for a long time as long as it is blocked by obstacles.

Of course, the premise is that the enemy does not have heavy firepower.

Today, the people living in similar communities are all the citizens of the "First City", who can still maintain a certain status and income.

"White's wife and children live here?" Long Yuehong looked at the multi-building community in front of her with some surprise.

If it wasn't for the fact that the information in his hand was certified by the Hunter's Guild, he would have suspected that he had encountered a liar again.

Although Waite is an awakener, he doesn't seem to be doing well.

"Maybe he took most of the harvest home, and he didn't keep much on him." Bai Chen had seen too many similar relic hunters.

When they are adventurous in the wilderness, they may indulge themselves and release pressure, but this does not affect their kindness to their families, and they are even willing to be cruel to themselves for this.

"Go in." Jiang Baimian glanced at the silent Shang Jianyao, and walked to the entrance of the community first.

After registration and simple checks, they walked around one building after another and came to a certain five-story building.

Waite's house is on the first floor here.

Standing at the door, Long Yuehong was suddenly a little apprehensive, wondering how Waiter's wife and children would react, whether they would be too sad to control themselves.

If I died outside, would the team leader have similar worries when they went to my house to inform?Long Yuehong exhaled slowly and rang the doorbell.

While the sound of jingling bells reverberated, a sound of footsteps approached, and the door was pulled open.

A 27-year-old Honghe woman appeared in front of the "Old Tune Group" and others.

She was wearing a white blouse. Although the clothes were old, they were well washed.

The sun shines in from the outside, making the room look bright and clean. The two children are sitting around the sofa, looking at the door curiously.

On the coffee table in front of them are some children's books excavated from the ruins of cities in the old world.
