long night fire

Mu Chi, who was wearing smoky makeup, was about to speak when Chu Ge replied with a smile:

"Looking at your appearance, it must be the latter."

"Who said that?" Honest Shang Jianyao retorted weakly, "Am I in good shape?"

"..." Zug was at a loss for words for a moment.

Seeing this, Shao Liang, who was wearing a flowered shirt and a gold necklace, was quite an artist, played with a dagger and said:

"Sometimes I'm in a worse state than you, but that doesn't prove anything."

"You also like to stay up late?" Shang Jianyao didn't realize there was a thorn in the other's words.

Shao Liang raised his eyebrows and smiled:

"Of course, the night is fiery and warm, and it is a place where witnesses trust each other. It is also calm, empty, and full of inspiration."

This is the first time I've heard someone describe that kind of thing as mutual trust between people... This is even more extreme than the "Holy Desire" sect and the "Beyond Spirituality" sect... Long Yue red belly slandered.

Without giving Shang Jianyao a chance to make the topic more and more perverted, Bai Chen asked Zug instead:

"Didn't you say to go to the east of the 'Original City'?

"What about the rest?"

The area of ​​Nuhu Lake is south of the "Original City", separated by the mighty Iron Mountain.

Others were referring to the relic hunters who followed Zug to the east of the "Original City" to look for opportunities.

Zug's smile has not changed, and he still looks quite cheerful:

"Some of them settled down and became employees of the 'Orange' company, and some got a piece of unpolluted land, organized a group of people, and established armed farms.

"Well, I'm here on business in the Nu Lake area."

Bai Chen didn't want to ask the other party what's the matter, but Chu Ge said to himself:

"We are going to Hongshiji this time to attend a meeting."

Meeting?Long Yuehong was surprised.

Apart from the inside of the big forces, there is rarely talk of participating in a meeting in other places.

—Who can organize who will organize a meeting with many participants from afar when order is limited to large settlements?

"Meeting?" Jiang Baimian didn't hide his curiosity.

Zug laughed:

"A general church meeting."

Uh... Did Long Yuehong understand?

Jiang Baimian has seen similar terms in some academic books of the old world, and guesses that it is a meeting used to resolve doctrinal disputes and important affairs within a certain sect, which is also called a ecumenical meeting or a universal meeting.

But this guy is not vigilant at all, he doesn't look like someone from a vigilant sect... Jiang Baimian muttered in his heart.

The Redstone Collection is the site of the Vigilance Sect!

Bai Chen didn't ask what a general education meeting is, but just reminded everyone because they are acquaintances:

"If you want to go to Hongshiji, you are going in the wrong direction now."

"I know, I know." Zug said with a smile, "We just have to go to meet people in other places first. What about you, what are you doing in this area?"

"Go around the ruins of Tieshan City." Jiang Baimian didn't make things difficult for Bai Chen.

"Go to the ruins of Tieshan City? Just go southeast from Wild Grass City, why bother to go to the area of ​​Nuhu Lake?" Zuge looked at Bai Chen with some doubts.

In his opinion, it is impossible for this person not to know that route, even if he has not actually walked it.

——The ruins of Iron Mountain City are one of the most famous ruins in the chaotic era. Although they have been silent for the past 20 years, the relic hunters are still very familiar with its related situation.

Bai Chen nodded:

"Let's go to the Redstone Collection first, and wait for a teammate to join us."

"That's it..." Chu Ge sighed thoughtfully, "That teammate of yours is very strong..."

From Bai Chen's words, he heard that the other party's friend came to meet him alone.

And those who dare to trek long distances alone on the dust, either have already broken their pots and have no other way out, or they have a lot of confidence in their own strength.

"Yes." Shang Jianyao had no doubts about Gnawa's strength.

Chu Ge and the others suddenly felt choked.

Fortunately, Zug has now evolved into a social expert and quickly changed the topic:

"Since you are going to Hongshiji, how about we get together later?

"By the way, are you a 'Senior Hunter' now?"

He looked at Bai Chen and asked.

Bai Chen shook her head:

"A little bit."

This is because the "Old Tune Group" is not so active in completing the Hunter's Guild quest.

Like them in the original city, after completing the task of the white giant wolf, they didn't really become relic hunters.

Therefore, Bai Chen is still an "intermediate hunter".

Zug politely did not ask further, exchanged a few pleasantries, and pointed in a certain direction:

"We have to hurry, we will talk later."

"Goodbye." Bai Chen simply waved his hand.

After seeing Zuge and others driving away in the vehicle one after the other, Jiang Baimian suddenly looked at Bai Chen and said with a low laugh:

"Xiaobai, has he pursued you before?"

Huh?Long Yuehong's expression became focused.

Bai Chen nodded:

"When the relic hunters team up to complete the mission, single women always have suitors."

"Especially the good-looking ones." Jiang Baimian helped to add with a smile.

Bai Chen continued:

"But this kind of pursuit is mainly for the sake of coming a few times. If you are really in danger, or the harvest is enough to move people's hearts, most of those people will abandon you without hesitation, or stab you in the back. Similarly, male relic hunters also Don't expect that any woman who sleeps with you will value you more than material things, and won't shoot you backhand.

"Only a few survive the test, time after time, and end up as companions."

Jiang Baimian laughed, imitating some men he had met before, and put his arms around Bai Chen's shoulders:

"So, we are companions!"

Bai Chen struggled a bit, but only once.

Papapa, while Shang Jianyao applauded, Long Yuehong secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

……

One day later, towards evening, the "Old Tune Group" arrived at Iron Mountain.

Here is the entrance to the "Underground Ark".

As the honorary chairman of the management committee of the underground ark, of course they had to go underground to have a look first.

Chapter 44 Vigilance matters

Unlike when Jiang Baimian and others left last time, the entrance to Iron Mountain of the "Underground Ark" is no longer so hidden. A repaired road that can accommodate two trucks runs from the foot of the mountain to the cave.

After all, this place is already well-known in the Red Stone Collection and among the mountain monsters. There is no way to use it as a secret access point. It is better to improve the surrounding environment so that it is convenient to drive when encountering problems.

So the "Old Tune Group" drove the Jeep all the way to the entrance.

There stood four submachine gun-wielding guards in olive-green uniforms who now belonged to the Ark's governing council.

"Stop!" Although they thought this jeep looked familiar, they still dutifully stopped it.

Behind them, in the depths of the cave, several artillery pieces and cluster rocket launchers were set according to the program, their aim was adjusted, and they were ready to go.

Yes, Gnawa's program.

As the former interim chairman of the Ark Management Committee and the current honorary chairman, he single-handedly transformed the defense system of the "Underground Ark".

"Don't you know us?" Jiang Baimian opened the car door and asked with a smile.

The four guards wearing different masks visually measured her height, confirmed the number of members of the next group, and probably realized who it was.

However, as believers of "Yougu" and members of the vigilance sect, how could they believe so easily, and they are still on alert with eyes full of vigilance and friends at a distance.

At this time, Jiang Baimian felt someone poke his upper arm gently, cautiously, and very vigilantly.

Without any reasoning, Shang Jianyao's figure directly appeared in her mind.

She looked sideways, as expected.

Shang Jianyao took out the monkey mask with a hairy face and sharp mouth at some point, and said in a low voice:

"Put it on and talk.

"Be vigilant forever!"

Watching this guy put on a monkey mask, although Jiang Baimian didn't want to imitate him, he still obeyed the local folk customs, found the delicate monk mask, and put it on his face.

It's a good thing I didn't throw it away... Long Yuehong put on the fat pig mask partly thankfully and partly sadly.

At the same time, he saw Bai Chen take out the vicious man's mask from the tactical backpack.

The members of the "Old Tune Group" had just finished their "disguise", and the guards standing at the entrance of the cave took a step back at the same time, relieved most of their vigilance, and shouted loudly:

"Hello, presidents!"

Now, they have completely matched the images of Jiang Baimian and others with the previous ones and confirmed that they are correct.

——The reason why they don't cross their arms and put them on their chests while taking a step back is because they think it is not appropriate to use this etiquette when shouting that the president is well, after all, it needs to be matched with the corresponding prayer.

Finally... Jiang Baimian corrected the mask on his face.

She immediately had rather complicated feelings:

Only people like Shang Jianyao can seamlessly blend into this bewildered place, like a fish in water...

The only thing she feels relieved is that the guards of the "Underground Ark" still retain the habits developed in DiMarco's time and abide by the corresponding regulations, unlike the armed forces who are vigilant against the church, the members of the town guard at the entrance of the Redstone Collection, and the security guards. Those people in the station have to hide when performing guard duties, so that no one can find them.

"Vigilance is a reminder from God!" Shang Jianyao responded with the etiquette of the vigilance sect without avoiding suspicion.

Jiang Baimian adjusted his mentality and asked:

"Where is the car parked?"

One of the guards pointed to his left side:

"There's a parking lot around here."

Then, he remembered something and quickly reported:

"Report to President Xue that the cemetery has been repaired and is just behind the parking lot."

When the "Old Tune Group" left Redstone Collection last time, the members of the Ark Management Committee were asked to organize manpower to build cemeteries for those servants who died in vain during the slack season.

"Very good." Jiang Baimian did not hesitate to praise himself.

She turned to ask:

"There are so many cars to park, and a special parking lot has been built?"

The guard who spoke just now replied with a funny mask:

"Yes.

"Except for a few people who are used to living underground, everyone has moved to the ruins and guarded their fields, but we still choose to store many important items in the ark, which is safer and easier to defend."

The current "Underground Ark" is equivalent to the spare warehouse, last refuge and psychological support for all members - several key departments of the management committee are located here, so members often need to go in and out, and many of them have cars.

On the one hand, this is the accumulation of the DiMarco era. On the other hand, considering the needs of going out for escort, wilderness hunting, and walking through the ruins of the city, the management committee deliberately used part of the reserve arms and traded a batch of rags from the old world. vehicle and repaired.

Looks good... Jiang Baimian nodded in satisfaction.
