Chapter 33 The first point

As the reading sounds echoed in Shuiwei Town, Long Yuehong opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. She felt that the feeling was extremely complicated and difficult to describe in words.

None of the four spoke, seemed to be listening attentively until the jeep drove out of the gate and ran into the distance.

"What are they reading aloud? I didn't hear it very clearly." Jiang Baimian looked at the rearview mirror, his tone was a little annoyed.

"The moonlight is bright in front of the bed." Shang Jianyao repeated the beginning of "Quiet Night Thoughts".

"That's how..." Jiang Baimian sighed, but did not say more.

She drove the car seriously, allowing the Jeep to drive quietly on the difficult roads crisscrossed in the swamp.

After completely leaving this area, Bai Chen looked ahead and spoke to himself:

“Part of the reason I want to be a full member of the company is that I can borrow a lot of books.”

"It's okay..." Long Yuehong, who has lived in "Pangu Biology" since childhood, doesn't think there is anything special about this. "In the ruins of the old world, there are no books or libraries?"

Bai Chen's eyes seemed to be far away:

“There were, at the beginning, there were a lot, but at that time, I wasn’t born yet.

"Later, many books were moved away by major forces and some people, and the remaining part was regarded as easy-to-ignite firewood by ruins hunters and wilderness wanderers, and was bitten and torn by animals such as mice, making it out of shape. Only a very small number can be found and read.

"In the ruins of cities that have not been explored many times, there may be a lot of books, but those places are too dangerous."

After a brief silence, Shang Jianyao asked with a jumping voice:

"You know how to read?"

"Well, my father and mother taught me. After they died, they left me a good teacher." Bai Chen's expression gradually became softer, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised invisibly.

But her eyes were a little dissipated, as if she was waking up from a dream in the middle of the night, sitting in her knees, looking out the window without focus.

Jiang Baimian turned his head and looked at Bai Chen, and continued to look ahead.

She smiled and said:

"Can you communicate louder?

"Is this bullying me for not hearing well? I doubt whether you are talking badly on me behind my back."

Long Yuehong's heart moved and muttered in a low voice:

"We all said it in front of you."

"We all said it in front of you." At the same time, Shang Jianyao responded to Jiang Baimian's "accusation".

Long Yuehong was suddenly a little happy:

"Haha, how about it? Do I understand you very much? Can you keep up with your ideas!"

"How do you know I didn't let you keep up on purpose?" Shang Jianyao did not give in.

"Yes, when going out for training, you should pay attention to the team atmosphere. You must be serious and lively. Otherwise, your spirit will be too tense and you will be crushed in no time." Jiang Baimian commented casually, "Okay, let's not talk about this, discuss Mayor Tian's experience, see what useful things can be summarized from the details he described, uh, it's mainly about the destruction of the old world."

Shang Jianyao seemed to have thought about it for a long time and immediately said:

“'Intentional Ones' mainly appear in larger cities, with almost no villages and small towns.”

“The destruction of the countryside and town looks more like the result of war and geological catastrophe,” Bai Chen added.

Jiang Baimian nodded slightly:

“War and geological catastrophe may be equal.

"Before the destruction of the Old World, geological weapons may have appeared. Of course, this is to be confirmed and needs to be confirmed by exploring certain urban ruins."

Hearing this, Long Yuehong said thinking:

"What does the emergence of the 'unintentional person' have to do with the war?

"Is their appearance leading to war, or does war induce their appearance?"

"There is no answer, there is a lack of sufficient information and information." Jiang Baimian smiled and said, "This will be the main direction of our work after the old transfer team."

She looked at the bottom lane, pulled the steering wheel, continued to ask questions, and guided the team members to think:

"Why do you think 'unintentional' first appeared mainly in big cities, almost none in rural areas and small towns?"

"Cities are more densely populated? Is this an important communication condition?" Shang Jianyao replied in combination with the definition of the city in the textbook.

Bai Chen said from another perspective:

"Cities are more important, so are they the main goal?"

"It's possible." Jiang Baimian did not deny it.

The four of them discussed the corresponding issues for a while. Although they could not make a conclusion, they all broadened their thinking and had clearer ideas about the future investigations and collected information.

The Jeep was not fast or was driving too slowly, and Jiang Baimian raised another problem:

“What do you think of the guy the ruin hunters are looking for?

"It's the black hair and golden eyes, the one that the people in Shuiwei Town have encountered."

Long Yue sighed:

"It feels strange that he is not only mysterious in his origin, but also strange in itself.

"Normal, no one can get the love of a group of people at the same time when they first meet, there are men and women!"

"Actually, I'm a little curious, curious about what he looks like and how charming he is." Jiang Baimian replied with a smile, "But, what he said is right, it's really strange. For those who can create strange phenomena, my first reaction is to be classified as the ranks of awakened people."

"Why?" Shang Jianyao blurted out.

Bai Chen did not show any doubts about the term awakened person, and obviously knew that there was such a person.

Jiang Baimian put the accelerator a little and lowered the speed lane:

"In addition to having strange and terrible abilities, awakened people may also show strange things, different from normal people. Well, this kind of performance is the same as their abilities, and the probability of the sameness between them is not too high."

"Such an awakened man appeared in the Black Swamp wilderness, not just to survive." Bai Chen looked out the window and looked into the depths of the swamp, "He might be looking for something... There may be a lot of secrets hidden in the deep swamp."

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"Indeed. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Our route will not pass north of Yuelu Station. Besides, it is too dangerous to take two newbies to participate in this obviously unusual thing. We can only find an opportunity to report it to the company.

"Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, you can take a rest.

"Ah, ha, Bai Chen, don't rush to sleep, tell me what to do next..."

"..." Bai Chen glanced at Jiang Baimian, a little doubting that this was still the extremely reliable team leader before.

In this way, the jeep walked through the black swamp wilderness, and when it was almost noon, it stopped at a weed-covered cement intersection.

"This is the first point of this outdoor training." Jiang Baimian opened the door and pointed to Jeep on the left.

Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong got out of the car, followed the team leader's finger and looked over.

There is a sloping fork in the road, and the concrete floor is cracked by clumps of weeds and plants, with almost no intact.

The left side of the road was originally suspected to be a field, but most of it had been swallowed up by the swamp, and the rest had many different varieties of plants; on the right there were three buildings surrounded by open squares, one of which had collapsed, while the rest were covered with plants such as ivy.

There is a large square at the end of the road. On both sides of the square are more four-story, five-story and six-story buildings, but there is also a very large and quite tall bungalow.

Some of them collapsed, while the rest were mixed with green, making it difficult to distinguish them.

At the end of the square there are iron-black doors that can be opened in parallel through four jeeps. The doors are completely open, revealing rows of houses that do not look like residences.

Behind these houses, a few "chimneys" of red or gray-black bricks rose up and rose into the air, which was quite spectacular.

Their exterior walls are inlaid with iron-black, very simple stairs. The higher the height, the more sparse the green plants in the gaps.

After Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong observed for a while, Jiang Baimian explained:

"In the future, our group will inevitably enter the ruins of the city that has entered the old world, especially those that are few or not, or those that have not been discovered, which will be quite dangerous.

"So, you have to adapt to this kind of place in advance and accumulate some experience."

"But this doesn't look like a city." Long Yuehong couldn't help but say.

Jiang Baimian smiled:

“It must start with the lowest difficulty.

"This was once a steel factory with a complete social structure inside, which was equivalent to a miniature city. Look, the buildings on the roadside were hospitals and radio stations.

"Well, this place has been visited by the remains hunters many times, and the valuable things are basically gone.

“You have two main tasks today:

"One is to make some food here, whether it is found something that others have not found or aiming at the beasts that are haunted here.

"The second is to draw a complete map and mark all key points.

"How is it, is it simple?"

Neither Shang Jianyao nor Long Yuehong answered, because based on their experience, it was impossible to tell whether this was simple or difficult.

Jiang Baimian glanced at the steel factory again:

"There are often haunted here. If you encounter it, you must learn how to deal with it, how to get along with it, and how to exchange information and materials."

"Team leader, didn't you say that the valuable things here are basically gone? What are the ruins hunters doing?" Long Yuehong asked a question in surprise.

Jiang Baimian laughed:

"Isn't there a saying? There is still three kilograms of nails in a rotten ship, let alone such a large steel factory?

"If you don't get anything else, come here and look for it, maybe you can move it back and get something useful.

"Before, a ruin hunter dug up the ground, got a piece of tap water main pipe, and then pulled it back to exchange for some food."

Seeing Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao nodded slightly, saying that there was no doubt, Jiang Baimian turned his body sideways and said:

“Then let’s start.

"Bai Chen and I are here to watch the car. If you encounter troubles that cannot be solved, send a signal for help. If you need guidance, go back within two kilometers and use the walkie-talkilometer."
