long night fire

After the bombardment failed to achieve any effect, laser beams and electromagnetic projectiles aimed at the jeep running sideways and shot out.

Jiang Baimian stepped on the accelerator to the maximum, but there was already a mountain wall not far away.

She stepped on the brakes instinctively, dodging a wave of attacks, then pushed out her seat belt, opened the door, and rolled towards an obstacle around her.

She had just rolled halfway, her body was inexplicably paralyzed, and it was difficult for her to exert strength.

The next second, a red laser came over and pierced through her body.

Jiang Baimian's face suddenly became extremely distorted, and she immediately chose to quit the "Sea of ​​Origin".

In the bedroom, sleeping on the bed, she opened her eyes, raised her hand and touched her forehead, dripping with cold sweat.

"The company's guards didn't make any confirmation and attacked me directly?" Jiang Baimian murmured to himself silently, "This shows that subconsciously, I put the company in a hostile position... The essence of this psychological shadow is my Suspicion and worry about the company? This should not be a big deal at first, and it will not become a psychological shadow, but the situation in the notification has deepened the fear in this regard..."

While thinking about it, Jiang Baimian gradually sorted out her thoughts, but she couldn't think of how to break through this island of fear for the time being.

The hometown in her heart unknowingly became her psychological shadow.

……

On Monday morning, as soon as Jiang Baimian, who was late, entered the office, he heard Bai Chen say:

"Team leader, Vice Minister Xi Yu is looking for you."

Jiang Baimian nodded thoughtfully:

"It seems to be asking about the application."

At this time, Shang Jianyao stood up and volunteered:

"Do you need me to lead the way?"

"No need." Although Jiang Baimian could feel the concern, he was not happy at all.

She thought for a while and said:

"Don't act like you don't have 300 taels of silver here."

What she meant was not to follow her quietly, and not to engage in any "thought guidance". It seemed that it was a very dangerous thing to meet Vice Minister Yu.

Shang Jian Yao sighed in disappointment.

After going through the deputy minister's office three times and being unable to enter, Jiang Baimian finally found his destination.

Seeing that she was the only one coming, Xiyu breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the armchair opposite the table and said:

"sit down."

"Minister, what's the matter?" Jiang Baimian asked bluntly as soon as he sat down.

Xiyu said with a gentle smile:

"I was still worrying about which helpers I would find for you in the future mission, but you told me that Long Yuehong and Bai Chen could stand on the last shift."

"Actually, it's enough for me and Shang to meet Yao." Jiang Baimian deliberately changed the topic, not discussing the matter of Long Yuehong and Bai Chen.

Xi Yu shook his head:

"If there are too few people, many things will be inconvenient.

"Well, seeing Yao's ability through business, I can find some helpers temporarily."

Now that the matter has been settled, she didn't say much, and asked instead:

"I'm leaving next month, isn't it too rushed?

"In that case, it will not be summer when we reach the ice sheet, and the climate will be worse."

Jiang Baimian had already prepared a draft, and talked about it with eloquence:

"I think it should be sooner rather than later. It's fairly simple to find the ruins of the city where Shang Jianyao's father last appeared, but it will definitely take a lot of time to find clues. The same is true for the specific location of the Eighth Research Institute. Patience enough to catch the fox by the tail.

"So, I'm concerned that there isn't enough time in a summer, and the April-May ice sheet is relatively milder than the September-October ice sheet."

Xiyu thought for a while, then nodded slightly and said:

"Then prepare more cold-proof equipment and high-calorie food."

"Yes, Minister!" Jiang Baimian didn't hide his smile.

After that, Xiyu asked a few more detailed questions, all of which were answered satisfactorily.

The itinerary of the "Old Tune Group" has thus been determined.

……

One day in March, Shang Jianyao and others drove a jeep out of the underground building of "Pangaea".

With the fresh air blowing in from the window, Jiang Baimian felt a lot more open-minded.

Seeing the silence in the car, Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Shang Jianyao were lost in their own thoughts. No one spoke for a long time, so she deliberately looked at the driver's seat and asked casually:

"Hey, has there been any change in Xiaochong's gap?"

"No." Shang Jian Yao looked disappointed.

Jiang Baimian asked again:

"Has the owner of room '506' had any dreams recently?"

Shang Jian Yao shook his head again:

"She seems to have lost her ability to dream.

"I wonder if she asked someone to hypnotize herself so that she would stop dreaming."

Jiang Baimian thought about it and asked:

"What time periods have you tried?"

"09:30 in the evening, zero o'clock, three o'clock in the middle of the night, and six o'clock in the morning." Shang Jianyao didn't realize that he was working hard at all.

Jiang Baimian was silent for a while and said:

"I didn't dream at night, either I found a way to control myself from dreaming, or I didn't sleep at all."

"Didn't sleep?" Shang Jian Yao's eyes lit up when he heard that.

Jiang Baimian let out a "hmm":

"Afterwards you try the nap time."

"Okay!" Shang saw that Yao was doing good and good, and his face was excited.

Jiang Baimian ended this topic, looked at the rearview mirror, turned around halfway, and smiled to Long Yuehong and Bai Chen in the back row:

"I know what you are worrying about, but this will only affect your concentration and will not make the situation any better or worse."

"Xiaohong can just say it." Shang Jianyao forcibly interrupted.

Jiang Baimian glared at him and continued:

"Since this is the case, it's better to put the problem behind you first, complete the matter at hand seriously, and see if there is any desired gain."

Shang Jianyao then shouted:

"Yes, yes, listen to the song! Listen to the song!"

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen looked at each other, each nodded, and said respectively:

"it is good."

"We will adjust the status."

At this time, the jeep drove into the wilderness like an arrow, heading forward.

Chapter 19 Direction of investigation

Wild Grass City, inside a rental house on South Street.

Shang Jian Yao and others met here with Gnawa.

Jiang Baimian walked to the window and asked casually:

"How is the situation recently?"

As a cold intelligence gathering machine, Gnava answered with a slightly synthetic voice:

"Affected by the news that the war between the 'First City' and the 'Salvation Army' will break out within this year, food prices have risen a lot.

"Wild Grass City is located in the westernmost part of the sphere of influence of the 'Original City' and is farthest from the 'Salvation Army'. The panic is not so strong, and it can still maintain a relatively normal and stable state.

"This has attracted more relic hunters, making Wild Grass City more prosperous than ever.

"The nobles here hold the land in the form of manors, hoarding a lot of food..."

Listening to Gnawa's orderly return, Jiang Baimian cast his gaze out of the window.

On the South Street, there is a lot of traffic and there are many pedestrians. All kinds of shops on the roadside are open, and the business seems to be pretty good.

This is in stark contrast to the depression and desolation after the riot at the beginning.

After Gnawa finished speaking, Jiang Baimian looked at the houses that blended classical and modern, turned his body slightly, and said to Bai Chen:

"Aunt Nan and the others are across the alley, do you want to take a look?"

The "Old Tune Group" did not live in the "Afu Gun Shop" this time, because the place was chosen by Gnava.

"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao agreed first, "You haven't told Aunt Nan that you are married yet!"

Aunt Nan should be very relieved to know that Xiaobai has formed a normal family... Long Yuehong was ready to move.

He cast his questioning eyes on Bai Chen.

Bai Chen didn't wear a scarf, and there was no number on his neck. It was dropped off by Bai Chen when he was doing genetic modification the year before last. No one paid attention to it.

Bai Chen walked to the window, stared silently for a while and said:

"not going.

"We have too many burdens on us, so don't implicate Aunt Nan and the others."

"Yes." Long Yuehong nodded immediately.

Shang Jian Yao sighed regretfully:

"I also want to see how An Ruxiang taught those people how to read and write..."

You should also want to see how those people are doing now... Jiang Baimian vaguely guessed what Shang Jianyao was thinking.

She chuckled lightly and said:

"Don't limit yourself like that.

"We came out to carry out the mission normally. If we dare not go here, we dare not do it, but it will arouse suspicion.

"Well, don't forget the disguise, we all still have a lot of rewards on our backs."

As a wanted criminal of the "Original City", within the sphere of influence of the "Original City", he still can't be so ostentatious.

"Yes." Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and clapped his left palm and said, "I also want to visit my good brother Xu Liyan in the City Lord's Mansion, and exchange Buddhism with Zen Master Jing Nian beside him."

"You mainly want to have a meal?" Jiang Baimian joked.

Shang Jianyao admitted frankly:

"You could say the same."

At this time, the red light in the eyes of Gnava, who had been listening for a while, flickered a few times and said:

"Compared to when we parted last year, you seem to have a lot more on your mind.

"Is something going on inside the company?"

As expected of an intelligent robot, its information gathering ability and logical analysis ability are strong enough...Jiang Baimian was quite amazed when he heard this.

Shang Jian Yao is not too convinced:

"Why must there be an internal situation in the company, why can't it be that a few of us have a romantic entanglement and are about to divide our luggage and do it alone?"

The red light in Gnawa's eyes flickered violently for a few seconds and said:

"This is also a possibility, but the probability is only..."

"Stop!" Jiang Baimian prevented this honest robot from being misled by Shang Jianyao.
