Chapter 197: Willows and Flowers

Bai Chen followed Shang Jianyao's thoughts and said:

"The one who probably owns the Buddhist 'token' died at the Vegetative Rehabilitation Center of Renhui Hospital. The survivors either don't know why they and others were able to enter Zhentai City, or they guessed it, but they didn't dare to go to Renhui Hospital again, hoping to get out of here in other ways."

Jiang Baimian said "um" and said in an inspiring tone:

"Humans are all path-dependent. After survivors escape from Renhui Hospital and get rid of the initial panic, they are likely to choose to evacuate along the most familiar road.

"When they reached the edge of the city, they probably found that the exit was missing and buried by the scene caused by the collapse of the landslides.

"So, where is the corresponding exit, or what part of the edge of the city the survivors return?"

Gnava was the first to answer:

"If this group of people really belongs to the scientific expedition team where Ding Ling's husband Ji Qiang is, then judging from the information we received before, they came from the southwest like us."

This is the news that the "Old Tutoring Group" found out at the "Salvation Army" rest station where the "Ascension Department" monks met.

Long Yuehong felt aroused when she heard this and blurted out:

“Did they enter Zhentai City from the place where we entered the city?

"Where is the one who returns?"

The honest Shang Jianyao sneered:

“Did you forget that it wasn’t that smooth for us to come?

"I encountered a fault zone in the middle. With the military exoskeleton device, Lao Ge and Dabai did not take a detour and entered the city directly from that direction."

Why do I have to be ranked alongside the military exoskeleton device? I was not wearing military exoskeleton device at that time... Jiang Baimian suspected that Shang Jianyao was slandering his power as much as an intelligent robot or military exoskeleton device, and there was evidence.

Long Yuehong admitted her mistake in a little annoyed manner:

"yes."

He immediately made suggestions:

"Then let's go back to the fault zone and see where can we enter the city from when the detour is taken?"

Jiang Baimian shook his head and said:

“No need to be so complicated.

"Think about it, think about it from the logic of normal people rather than feeding, what will you do when you return the same way and find that the exit is destroyed and difficult to cross?"

Long Yuehong took a breath, calmed down, thought for a moment and said:

"Then you must have a different intersection and exit from the city. How could such a big city have only one exit?"

After peeling off the thread to this level, his ideas gradually became clear:

"When they find that every exit cannot leave the city, they should choose the one that looks the most promising, try paving roads and building bridges, crossing the natural barriers, and at the same time, they will find places such as supermarkets and collect food."

The paving and bridge he mentioned is not the real paving and bridge building, but refers to a series of actions such as blowing up obstacles and laying baffles through gullies.

"So, what we need to do now is to circle the edge of the ruins of Taicheng and find places with traces of paving roads and building bridges. Survivors are likely to be nearby, and there is a certain probability that they will still be alive." Jiang Baimian took Long Yuehong's words and issued an order.

The Taiwanese urban residents died instantly when the old world was destroyed. It seems that no one survived, so there is no consumption of food here.

Of course, decades have passed, and most of the time when electricity is out of power, many foods have long rotted and are no longer suitable for humans. However, those represented by canned food that can be preserved for a long time are enough to support a team with few people left to survive for two to three years.

Upon hearing this, Bai Chen turned the steering wheel and let the jeep sail to the edge of the city.

At this time, Shang Jianyao, who took "save all mankind" as his mission and hated evil, said hatefully:

"If there were no missile strikes from the Eighth Institute, it would be much easier for us to find people."

Although those missiles are mainly targeted by Renhui Hospital and Taicheng No. 1 High School, they are also inevitably biased elsewhere, which may destroy the traces of survivors paving the road and building bridges.

"It's not confirmed that it is the Eighth Research Institute." Jiang Baimian retorted casually, "This is just our speculation. We believe that the possibility is very high, and it is not ruled out that it was done by others."

Shang Jianyao, who had switched his personality, laughed and said:

"Anyway, their base is somewhere in the ice field, and it just happened to meet.

"Just think it was them who did it. For them, they have done so many bad things, one more thing is not painful or itchy."

As he said that, Shang Jianyao became excited:

"Just like the destruction of the Buddhist holy land can also be pushed onto their heads!"

Hearing this sentence, Long Yuehong turned her head and looked at the direction where Taicheng No. 1 High School is located, and her emotions instantly became very complicated.

This Buddhist holy land ultimately did not escape the fate of being razed to the ground.

Fortunately, Shang Jianyao did not mock him, saying that he had a crow's mouth and a stubborn iron mouth. He was not good at it, but instead covered the pot with the eighth institute.

Yes, it was them who did it, they fired missiles to destroy Renhui Hospital and Taicheng No. 1 High School! Long Yuehong slowly believed that this was done by the Eighth Research Institute.

Taicheng has a large area of ​​coverage, and many roads are seriously damaged. It took the "old commissioning team" a whole morning before going around the edge.

Except for places where the missiles were accidentally bombed out of recognition, there were no traces of paving roads and building bridges in the other exits.

"There is something wrong with our reasoning? Which link is wrong?" Long Yuehong withdrew her gaze in disappointment.

He would rather believe that the missile destroyed the clues.

Jiang Baimian smiled:

"It's okay, the previous reasoning itself is based on several assumptions, and it's normal to have errors.

"Don't I often say it? Be bold assumptions and be careful to prove it, and now we have at least ruled out some possibilities."

"Is there no other survivor, only one escaped from Renhui Hospital and entered Taicheng No. 1 High School?" Bai Chen began to murmur.

Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:

"It is also possible that other survivors encountered accidents in the middle of the journey and lost their lives one after another before they even tried to pave the road and build bridges."

"That's trouble." Gnava made the evaluation.

Because in this way, it is possible to find traces left by survivors in Taicheng, which was bombed by missiles, as if they were looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao agreed, "those survivors may have happened on their way from Renhui Hospital to the exit, or they may have encountered problems while searching for other exits."

Jiang Baimian pondered for a moment and said:

"Give your best to fate.

"We are now using a stupid method: leave Taicheng, return to the fault zone, and drive from the only option to detour, and head to Renhui Hospital to see what you can find on the way.

"If there is no harvest, we will report to the company tomorrow that the target location has been destroyed and inform the company that we will return."

"Okay!" Long Yuehong answered very simply.

He felt that his actions had a chance.

About two hours later, the "old transfer team" went back to the edge of Taicheng according to the scheduled plan.

When the buildings still standing there came into their eyes, Jiang Baimian and others' pupils dilated at the same time.

The surface of a gray-yellow high-rise building has a window and its surrounding exterior walls dyed red.

Even from a distance, this is extremely conspicuous.

The "old commissioning team" had actually visited this entrance before, but only checked whether there were any traces of paving roads and building bridges, and had never looked at the corresponding building complex from the direction of entering the city.

"It was splashed red with paint." After a few seconds, Gnava made a slightly synthesized sound.

If it is blood, unless it has just been put on, it will not be possible to not oxidize or turn black.

Bai Chen thought about it and said:

“It feels like a sign of help…”

When some wilderness wanderers are trapped in a certain place, they often choose to use colors such as big red and big purple to attract attention because they do not understand the words or are not sure if they may pass by.

Long Yuehong's heart moved:

“What did those survivors do?

"They entered the city from here, and thought that those who came later would also enter the city from here."

So I chose to get a distress signal here.

Papa, Shang Jianyao rarely applauded Long Yuehong.

Jiang Baimian thought for a few seconds and said:

“Come and take a look, be careful.

"Prepare according to the standards that you may encounter a 'new world' node or a powerful distorted creature, an advanced 'unintentioned person'."

Not long after, the "old adjustment team" arrived at the bottom of the building. Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, Bai Chen put on military exoskeleton devices, Long Yuehong and Gnava put on bionic smart armor.

Then, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong went to the opposite building and found a location suitable for sniping and fire protection.

Gnava stayed downstairs, guarding Jeep on the one hand, and preparing to pick up teammates on the other hand.

Fully armed Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao climbed up the stairs and successfully arrived at the 32nd floor where the "red" window is located.

The corresponding room door is empty and there is a stale smell.

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

From their own perspective, they confirmed that there were no humans inside, living humans.

Relying on the anti-virus filtering function of the military exoskeleton device, the two of them were very skilled and brave. They pushed open the door and entered the room.

This is an ordinary house with tables, chairs, benches, sofas, TVs, etc.

A computer desk is placed near the "red" window, and there is a stained computer on the table.

Opposite the table and on the chair opposite the door, there was a corpse wearing dark clothes.

He lay on the computer desk, his neck and head had turned into white bones.

Jiang Baimian and Shang saw Yao move over step by step. When he got closer, he found that there was a dark green canvas backpack between the thighs and waist of the body, and a handful of Wubei 7 was quietly lying on the ground next to him.
