Jiang Baimian turned around and looked over after hearing this.

At the same time, she quickly pulled out the "Ice Moss" gun with a 9mm bullet.

Jiang Baimian observed carefully for a while and asked:

"Did you see what that figure looks like?"

Shang Jianyao was on guard and replied:

"The clothes are ragged, but they are dressed very thickly, just like a groundhog."

Jiang Baimian was not nervous and blurted out in surprise:

"Do you know what a groundhog is?"

If she remembered correctly, it was Shang Jianyao's first time leaving the company and came to the surface. The only place where groundhogs would appear within the company is the "research area", which does not match Shang Jianyao's identity as he just graduated from University.

The only reason she could think of was that there were pictures of groundhogs in the textbook. Shang Jianyao made a judgment based on this, but it was difficult for people who had never seen the real thing to have such an association.

Shang Jianyao pointed his other hand at the opposite side of the river without a gun:

“There is one there.

“It’s very similar to the pictures in the textbook.”

"..." Jiang Baimian followed Shang Jianyao's finger and found a highly nervous groundhog.

The groundhog screamed and crawled back into the hole.

"Sharp observation ability." Jiang Baimian held it in for a long time and gave an evaluation.

Bai Chen looked up at the sky:

"This season, at this time, I was dressed so thickly, and there was only one person, and I should be a wanderer in the wilderness. Don't worry too much, we have many people and we have weapons, so he dare not get close to it.

"The only problem is that he may have connections with some robber groups, which will cause some trouble, but we won't stay here for too long and will leave soon."

"If there is really a robber group, it's just right for you to practice!" Jiang Baimian retracted his gaze and looked at Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong with a smile.

Long Yuehong's heart trembled:

"Team leader, aren't you worried that the robber team has too many people and the firepower is strong?"

Jiang Baimian laughed:

"This place is not too far from the company. The Security Department often sends teams to train and exercise. There are really many robber groups with strong firepower that have been cleared long ago.

"Also, many bandits on the dust may be different from what you imagined, and are closer to the state where the wanderers hug each other and keep warm in order to survive. There will not be too many guns, nor will there be too many people because they cannot obtain enough supplies. Sometimes, the thinner guys in the bandits are the reserve grain for others.

"Of course, those famous robber groups are not easy to deal with. They have all found ways to survive for a long time."

Reserved grain... Long Yuehong was inexplicably frightened:

"Team leader, how can you describe such a cruel thing in such a plain tone?"

"You will get used to it after you stay on the dust for a long time and see it for too long." Jiang Baimian looked down at the kettle on the solar charging panel.

Shang Jianyao was still on guard, but this did not prevent him from asking questions and mastering knowledge:

"Why are people in the settlements also called wilderness wanderers? The one who just now was the real wilderness wanderer."

Bai Chen pulled the scarf around his neck and said with a slightly calm expression:

“Because settlements are never stable.

"Changes in water sources, quality of land, weather, and monster migration all affect whether a place can be used as a settlement. Once the environment changes, people will wander again and find new settlements.

"And among all the factors, the one that has the greatest impact on them, and makes them migrate more frequently is actually whether they have been discovered by major forces."

"Why?" Long Yuehong asked curiously.

Bai Chen glanced at him:

"On the dust, the most notorious thing is not the largest bandits, but the "slave hunting team" of the "First City". They often break through settlements, capture people back and act as slaves.

“In the mine occupied by the 'Original City', countless slaves were turned into corpses in the factories built.”

Jiang Baimian nodded gently and added:

"Some bands do this, especially those that occupy minerals themselves."

"If it weren't for the 'Slave Catching Team' of 'Original City', they would have captured the robbers. I think the most active industry on the dust now is the slave trade." Bai Chen recalled something and turned the topic back. "In addition, many settlements cannot fully feed all the residents. They must often leave the settlements and search for fruits in the wilderness, hunt wild animals, and pick up various items to exchange for what they need. From this perspective, they are still wilderness wanderers."

Long Yuehong listened and thought of herself.

Although he could only eat meat once a week and often woke up hungry in the middle of the night, at least basic food and clothing were not a problem.

Compared with those wanderers in the wilderness, he was like living in heaven.

"It's so pitiful..." Long Yuehong sighed.

Bai Chen glanced at him:

"It's really pitiful, but when you meet wilderness wanderers, it's best not to be too soft-hearted. The only difference between them and robbers is how hungry they are, how your weapons are, and whether they are alert enough.

"When I was wandering in the wilderness, I was often attacked and attacked others. In the eyes of wilderness wanderers, there were no good people, no bad people, only living and dead."

Her words were not too loud, and Jiang Baimian had to barely hear them after all.

The D6 employee of "Pangu Biology" with a ponytail shook his head:

"It can't be so absolute. I have met many wilderness wanderers who know how to be grateful and are willing to respond with kindness."

"For example?" Shang Jianyao asked.

Jiang Baimian smiled brightly:

"For example, Bai Chen!"

Bai Chen was silent for a long time and said:

"Team leader, the water is boiling!"

Jiang Baimian nodded and said to Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong:

"Go to the car and get all four water bags."

After replenishing the water, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong began to learn how to drive the jeep.

Because the road is wide and there are no other vehicles, and there is no need to park the car within a fixed range, and the two of them are a new generation who have undergone genetic improvement. The concentration, reaction speed, and hand and foot coordination are excellent, so they mastered the driving skill with almost no effort.

"I feel like flying." Long Yuehong reluctantly gave the driver's seat to Bai Chen.

Shang Jianyao nodded in agreement.

If the road here was not softer and closer to the swamp and the situation began to be complicated, he could drive the car to fly.

"It's getting dark, be careful." When Long Yuehong sat back on the back row, Bai Chen said while stepping on the accelerator, "There is an abandoned building complex in front, which is said to be a rest stop next to the Old World Highway. We will camp there tonight."

Jiang Baimian took the opportunity to teach Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong:

"The reason why we don't continue to rush after dark is not that there may be more and more dangerous creatures at night. Basically, we will also encounter them during the day. The main reason is that after dark, there is insufficient light and the range of clearly visible is greatly reduced.

"This will make it difficult for us to discover potholes and swamps ahead in advance. Similarly, we cannot detect the approach of dangerous creatures in advance, which is very fatal. You should remember that most beasts and monsters, as long as they can be discovered in advance, are not too big a problem for humans with sufficient firepower. Our most dangerous enemies are more of the same type and diseases."

Bai Chen, who was driving, interrupted:

"I have encountered distorted mosquito groups, each of which has a large finger and cannot be counted. When they gather together, they are like a large cloud flying from the horizon, blocking all the sunshine.

"Their bites release a terrible toxin that paralyzes humans and animals and becomes slow to think.

"At that time, dozens of wanderers were covered in densely by them, sucking all their blood.

"Whether it is a pistol, a rifle, a machine gun, or a bazooka, it is difficult to cause too much damage to them.

"Fortunately, we picked up a few useful flamethrowers that time, and leaned against them, and one-third of the people survived."

Long Yuehong's scalp was numb when she heard this, and she became more afraid of the wilderness.

Shang Jianyao's eyes moved slightly, as if he was thinking about what else could be suitable for dealing with such monsters.

Jiang Baimian nodded gently and said:

"In this case, the company's 'weed bomb' is a good choice."

While the four of them were talking, the jeep drove to a small ruin.

Most of the buildings that were no more than three floors collapsed, with dense creepers on the surface, and the original walls were almost impossible to see, as if they were flooded by green waves.

In front of these buildings, there are large open spaces piled with large or small stones, and the ground has cracks, and clumps of plants jump out of them.

After Bai Chen stopped the car, he swept around and said:

“There are no new traces of human activity…

"Let's rest here tonight, there is a clean water nearby."

Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong got out of the car one after another, followed Jiang Baimian's teachings, collected wood, made bonfires, and used charging boards that had sunbathed for a day to recharge the Jeep's high-performance batteries - unless they knew the wilderness well and knew where there were settlements or corresponding ruins that could provide gasoline, fuel vehicles could only move within their own sphere of influence, or they had enough, full oil barrels, and "Pangu" was quite short of oil resources.

As for the tent, they were not prepared because they could sleep directly in the jeep - the two of them were vigilant, the two of them rested, and took turns to come.

Soon, the fire illuminated the gradually dimming environment around. Jiang Baimian took out a few military cans and started heating it.

Shang Jianyao, who had gnawed an energy bar, patrolled the surroundings with a company-style assault rifle nicknamed "Berserker" to guard against accidents.

Suddenly, he felt something and looked up at the collapsed building complex that was swallowed by ivy.

At the edge of those buildings, a black shadow flew past and was blocked by obstacles and disappeared.

Shang Jianyao was not frightened, and nothing happened to Jiang Baimian, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong said:

"You guys eat quickly."

"Ah?" Long Yuehong looked puzzled.

Shang Jianyao said calmly:

"It seems that something is coming."
