long night fire

The old lady was taken aback for a moment, then said with a smile:

"I'm already old, how can I dare to think about joining the company?

"I'm so happy to see people from the company. If the company hadn't taken us in and given us a way out, how could I have lived to this age and had several children? Now I don't have to work in the fields!"

Jiang Baimian took a step sideways, stood in front of Shang Jianyao, and said with a smile:

"We appreciate your kindness, but we have other things at noon."

She saw that this family was obviously not as wealthy as the village head's family, so she was embarrassed to waste their food.

The old lady waved her hand regretfully:

"In the future, if you have the opportunity, you must come to my house for dinner!"

Jiang Baimian and others waved their hands in response.

After walking a little further, Long Yuehong said with sincere emotion:

"The company is really respected and welcomed here..."

In the past, he would definitely be proud and proud of his status as an employee of "Panga Biology", but now, thinking about it makes him feel uneasy and melancholy.

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"No matter what the purpose is, for settlements like Cliff Village, the company has done a lot of beneficial things, bringing tangible benefits and clear hopes."

"Yes." Bai Chen agreed.

The "Old Tune Group" went to Shuiwei Town this time, and found that there have been many good changes there, and it is a bit prosperous.

Honest Gnava analyzed:

"This may be because the chaotic years and early New Calendar conditions are a nightmare for most settlements, like living in hell."

Only when there is a comparison can there be gratitude.

Old Ge, you don't need to speak so profoundly at this time... Jiang Baimian couldn't help but slander.

Going around, the "Old Tune Group" returned to the office, planning to have lunch by ordering food after a short break.

Long Yuehong stood by the window, looking at the mountains and bridges in the distance, and asked with concern:

"Boss, what shall we do next?

"Go to the ice field to track that scientific research team? But they have been walking for more than two weeks, and if there are any traces left, they are mostly swallowed by ice and snow."

Jiang Baimian was sitting beside his bed, stretching his legs and stretching his muscles and bones.

Hearing Long Yuehong's question, she smiled and said:

"We're going to rest here for a week."

"One week?" Both Long Yuehong and Bai Chen were obviously a little surprised.

This must be too long a rest, right?

Shang Jian Yao suddenly realized:

"You want me to empty out the secrets of the guy in '506' as soon as possible?"

"This is one reason." Jiang Baimian said with a smile, "The other reason is that I have calculated just now. With the number of people in the previous research team and the supplies they carried, they couldn't stay on the ice sheet for a full month. Although the death of volunteers will reduce food consumption, the oil that should be used will still be used. Similar scientific research teams will inevitably reserve enough supplies for the return trip to prevent possible accidents. That is to say, they have another week to go. It's almost time to go back to Cliff Village to replenish supplies.

"It's really difficult to track them to the ice field, but we can wait for them here."

Clap, clap, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands.

Only then did Long Yuehong understand the significance of the questions the team leader had asked before.

Some seemingly insignificant details can play such a big role!

He was about to say something when he suddenly saw a convoy approaching from a distance across the cliff village and on the other side of the highway bridge.

Long Yuehong frowned, and said to her companions:

"A group of people came to Cliff Village, but it's not like the company, the cars are all broken."

Chapter 32 Who Questions

"Stop!"

The voices of the villagers guarding the bridge with loudspeakers can be heard clearly in the office.

Seeing Yao excited, Shang went to the window and said to himself:

"If it doesn't stop, will there be a fight?"

"Can't you think of something better?" Jiang Baimian also came to the window.

"I will be useful in a fight." Shang Jianyao said full of longing, "Mediate, persuade, and let the two sides become friends in the end."

You don't need to fight, you can also make the two sides become friends, why do you have to make such a big circle?Long Yuehong couldn't understand Shang Jianyao's thinking at all, but she didn't question it.

As if aware of his inner voice, Shang Jianyao looked at the bridge across the mountain stream, sighed and said:

"It seems that I can't fight...

"That way I have no reason to intervene."

The team with relatively tattered vehicles stopped on the other side of the bridge, adhering to the rules.

"Hey, are you doing the trick of becoming famous now?" Jiang Baimian responded with a smile.

The logic is quite strict... Long Yuehong muttered in her heart.

At this time, the villagers guarding the bridge asked through a loudspeaker:

"Where are you from and what are you here for?"

At the passenger seat of the car at the front of the line, a man wrapped in a fur coat leaned out his upper body and responded loudly:

"Come from the north, trade something."

"North..." Long Yuehong repeated the word.

"The north of Cliff Village belongs to the ice field." The honest Gnawa said.

Bai Chen, who was also staring at the bridge area, pursed her lips and said:

"They're lying.

"The ice field must still be snowing this season, and there is a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere, and there is no trace of their car."

The bridge guard villagers who are quite familiar with the ice field also raised similar questions:

"Is there no more snow on the ice field?"

Shang Jian Yao became excited again, muttering:

"If there are awakened people in this convoy, won't Cliff Village be able to stop them from crossing the bridge?"

Not all human settlements have awakened ones, and it can even be said that most of them do not.

And when encountering those awakened people who are good at manipulating people's hearts, the settlements that lack the corresponding power will be hard to defend even if they are armed to the teeth. It is like a sealed can that seems indestructible. shell.

According to the observation of the "Old Tune Group", the possibility of awakened people in Cliff Village is very low.

Of course, this does not include the "Pangaean" team coming and going.

Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

"As long as you don't encounter an awakened person whose ability covers more than 500 meters, or you who can use electronic products and your own voice to exert influence remotely, Cliff Village still has a certain degree of defense.

"In addition to sending people to guard the bridge, there is also a monitoring room on the top floor of the office. There are always two villagers on duty, watching the situation on the other side of the bridge from a distance of 400 meters.

"As soon as they find something is wrong, they will immediately notify the village chief, activate the device, and blow up the bridge."

Jiang Baimian paused and said again:

"Well... this can only guard against the kind of intruders. The awakened ones really want to put down their bodies and hide in the dark. One by one, they will affect the people who leave the village and those who guard the bridge. Sooner or later, the purpose of intrusion will be achieved, but it is relatively indirect. few."

As soon as she finished speaking, the man who responded to the bridge defender said loudly again:

"We first went to the south to make some deals, which took more than ten days."

This could explain their current situation... Long Yuehong quietly let out a sigh of relief.

He doesn't like fighting by nature.

The villagers guarding the bridge seemed to remember the identity of this group:

"You guys...

"Go to Shan'ao Town, someone will look for you later."

People in Cliff Village call the abandoned town used for outsider trading Col Town.

"Okay!" The convoy didn't hesitate, and skillfully disappeared along the mountain road across the cliff village.

"Let's go..." Shang Jian Yao looked disappointed.

Not long after, Jiang Baimian noticed that four villagers from Cliff Village walked out of the office, got on a black mountain bike, and crossed the bridge towards Shan'ao Town.

Ten minutes later, they returned to the village and entered the office.

Then, the village chief led them to the warehouse where the supplies were stored.

"A deal." Jiang Baimian looked away.

This is one of the most common things to do in Cliff Village in late spring, summer and early fall.

"It's boring." Shang Jianyao shook his head first, and then became excited, "What do you think they will trade? Military exoskeleton devices, old world entertainment materials, new world nodes, nuclear warheads?"

When the others didn't know how to respond, Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

"Those things can only be traded by a team like ours whose mission is to save all mankind."

She was half perfunctory and half telling the truth.

How could the "Old Tune Group" get that nuclear warhead without some high-level forces fighting openly and secretly?

Seeing Yao, Shang was immediately satisfied.

At noon, the village chief knocked on the door of the room they were currently in.

"I heard someone singing at the top of the stairs." He handed out a few pages with a smile, "Here is the menu, you all order, and I will order it to be done."

Jiang Baimian took the menu and smiled casually:

"There seems to be a big business in the village?"

"It's okay, they come here several times a year." The village head replied frankly.

Shang Jian Yao curiously asked:

"Are they from the ice fields?"

"Yes." The village chief nodded, "Not every place in the ice field is uninhabitable."

"Yes." Jiang Baimian echoed, "Some areas have special terrain, chaotic environment, and climate similar to the south, and some areas are rich in geothermal resources, which can be well utilized."

It's just that the similar areas are not large, and compared to the entire ice sheet, they are like ordinary islands in the vast ocean.

"Yes, yes, yes." The village chief agreed, "Their settlement is in the valley, the climate is not bad, the land is very fertile, and they can support many people."

Jiang Baimian let out a "hmm":

"What's the name of their settlement? Let me see if I've heard of it."

"City at the end of the year." The village chief didn't hide it.

He is undoubtedly on the side of "Pangaea".

These are the food and clothing parents of Cliff Village.

Without waiting for several members of the "Old Tune Group" to ask again, he lowered his voice and said:

"The strength of the city at the end of the year is quite strong, and there are often awakened people in the teams they send out."

As the leader of a relatively important subsidiary force of "Pangaea", the village chief is definitely well-informed.

"Awakened?" Shang saw Yao excited.

The village chief said in a low voice:

"Once, they encountered a group of robbers. As a result, they just looked at each other and said a few words, and the robbers put down their weapons and let them deal with them."
