Chapter 22 Shooting
Long Yuehong was about to read the information a few more times, but the lights in the room suddenly went out.
"It's time for power outage?" Jiang Baimian looked at the electronic watch with his wrist and found that it was already over 8:40.
She immediately laughed:
“This is much more humane than the company.”
Inside the "Pangu Biology", it said that the street lights would not be delayed until 9:01 at 9:00. However, it has been more than ten minutes since now.
"Does humanized mean that management is loose?" Bai Chen tried hard to understand the subtext of the team leader.
Jiang Baimian said "yes":
"There are good and bad things, and the specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail."
"Saying means not saying it." Shang Jianyao commented seriously.
Then, he added:
"I'm afraid Bai Chen will be embarrassed to say that."
"Wow, you're quite enthusiastic." Jiang Baimian was already used to Shang Jianyao's similar behavior, and just gave him a blank look.
She immediately said:
"We've all rested. Today I've been busy from morning to night, and I have to do serious business tomorrow."
"Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong replied loudly subconsciously.
Seeing this, Jiang Baimian smiled helplessly:
"Don't have to be so formal. Do you want the whole building to know that we are together and that we have the team leader?
"Haha, it's okay, just be careful, different environments have different requirements."
Fortunately, the power outage just now brought a lot of noise and noise, completely covering up the little noise here.
Following the previous arrangement, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong entered the room near the yard.
In this way, something really happened. Bai Chen could take Long Yuehong to the yard and return to the jeep as soon as possible. Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao all have different sensing capabilities than ordinary people, which can effectively prevent accidents from the street.
"Do you sleep on top, or do I sleep on top?" After watching Bai Chen and Long Yuehong leave, Jiang Baimian pointed to the high and low beds in the room.
"You." Shang Jianyao answered without hesitation.
Jiang Baimian thought for a while and asked with a smile:
"Are you worried that getting up at night will affect me?"
"I ate more today." Shang Jianyao said sincerely.
"That's fine." Jiang Baimian suddenly remembered something, "Don't challenge the diseased island tonight. You have to do a good job tomorrow and keep your energy well."
"Okay." Shang Jianyao did not hesitate.
"You can still tell the priority of things." Jiang Baimian praised with a smile.
While talking, she walked to the table beside the window and looked outside.
The entire South and East Streets were already pitch black, and even the street lights no longer shine.
Some places on West Street still shine, like a lighthouse in the dark; North Street is brightly lit, as if the galaxy has fallen to the ground.
"It's really clear..." Jiang Baimian sighed, took off his coat, and climbed to the upper bunk.
Not long after she and Shang Jianyao lay down, they suddenly heard a few crisp gunshots.
This comes from West Street.
After a few bangs, the night calmed down again, and the dynamic and enthusiastic music continued to come from the West Street without any influence.
Papa, Shang Jianyao suddenly clamped up his applause.
"Why are you applauding?" Jiang Baimian was too lazy to guess what Shang Jianyao wanted to express, so he asked directly.
"They are really energetic." Shang Jianyao replied with a little yearning.
"Maybe this is Wild Grass City." Jiang Baimian closed his eyes and slowly cultivated his sleepiness.
Not long after, a noise broke out at the gate of the city not far from them, mixed with several gunshots.
"Why are there anyone shooting here?" Long Yuehong, who was sleeping in the lower bunk, asked Bai Chen worriedly and curiously.
He chose the lower bunk because Bai Chen is good at sniping and can better monitor movements in the yard at a higher place.
"The wanderers who can't enter the city during the day want to break in at night." Bai Chen guessed based on his own knowledge and current environment, "Then the guards fired."
Long Yuehong felt quite complicated when she heard this. She felt sorry for those wanderers who were waiting to die in a cold winter night, and she felt that the guards were justified in firing shots and did not make any mistakes.
This reminded him of a sentence, "Pangu Biology", the most popular sentence among employees who have served in the Security Department for a long time:
"This fucking world!"
When the movement at the city gate calmed down, Long Yuehong quickly forced herself to fall asleep.
At this moment, he heard a sound of ummy ah ah ah coming upstairs or upstairs.
In other buildings, similar movements were heard, echoing in the yard as if it were, as if it was not.
Long Yuehong is not unfamiliar with this. After all, the sound insulation of ordinary employees of "Pangu Biology" is not that good.
This made him a little blushing - the difference now is that there is a woman sleeping in his upper bunk.
After a while, the sounds of um, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But within a few minutes, the chanting rang again.
Almost at the same time, sharp curses burst out:
"Get out!
"I just gave two steamed buns and wanted to come here for the second time? Are you shameless?"
Long Yuehong was a little stunned when she heard this, and after a while hesitated and asked:
"What's going on?"
"Prostitute." Bai Chen replied concisely.
Within "Pangu", this is a non-existent profession, and Long Yuehong only knows what it means through textbooks and dictionaries.
"Ah..." Long Yuehong was stunned at first, then defended herself, "I thought the people on the surface were busy living..."
"This is a way of survival in itself." Bai Chen said without any contempt, "and the more pressure you are in survival, the more you will seek venting in this regard."
She paused and added a few words:
“In Wild Grass City, there are too many outsiders, too many ruin hunters who wander on the dust all year round and have not touched women for weeks or even months.
"In this regard, female ruin hunters are much better. As long as they are willing, some people may be able to earn some supplies, but they also have to consider whether they will be infected and whether they will get pregnant. For a female ruin hunter, these are all things that will ruin themselves by accident."
Long Yuehong listened quietly and wanted to say something, but in the end she turned into a sigh.
The night was flowing at a constant speed between calmness and uneasiness. When Long Yuehong woke up in the middle of the night, the whole city had completely fallen asleep at some point.
By 7:30, the sky was just dawn and the dimness was still the master of the earth, and the streets were already bustling.
Many shops have opened their doors and sold breakfast.
Among them, the hottest business is several stores selling wok noodles, and their specialty is cheap enough.
Some stores even sell charcoal hot water, 1 cup of cass, specially prepared for hunters who eat steamed buns and choked.
——Tap water is also charged.
"It's easy to do..." Shang Jianyao made an evaluation after eating two yellow steamed buns.
This steamed bun costs 5 cass for one, and two are 1 drasser.
Jiang Baimian, who was picking up the water bag, gave Shang Jianyao a blank look:
"No one urges you, what should I do when I eat so quickly?"
"I have re-experienced the feeling of being in the 'hungry ghost realm'." Shang Jianyao finished drinking water and explained seriously.
"You want to say that you can adapt to this way of eating first. When you encounter the Pure Dharma, you can try to spend a few extra seconds after you get into the 'hungry ghost realm'?" Jiang Baimian asked with some clarity.
"Be prepared for any trouble, and you can do more and do less." Shang Jianyao nodded.
"...You are repeating the exam again!" Jiang Baimian first felt that this was familiar, and then he remembered that he had said it.
She turned and smiled:
“Actually, isn’t it better to prepare some easy-to-swallow food?”
"I can't predict when I will encounter the Pure Dharma." Shang Jianyao hung the water bag back and took it with him.
"You can keep it on your body and not eat it." Jiang Baimian retorted, "But, you shouldn't be able to meet Zen Master Jingfa in Wild Grass City. There are so many women here, and he can't control himself at all."
While talking, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao walked along the street toward the central square, and the Target Hunter Guild.
Bai Chen and Long Yuehong were eating breakfast slowly and not in a hurry to keep up.
After walking for dozens of meters, Jiang Baimian saw a man wearing a wide-brimmed round hat hurriedly out of the alley.
Suddenly, she stretched out a hand, stopped Shang Jianyao, and turned her eyes to the building opposite.
Bang!
After a gunshot, the man wearing a round hat with a wide brim fell to the ground, and the red and white splashed.
The entire street instantly fell into solidification and lost its sound.
After a few seconds, screams and shouts rang one after another.
The patrolmen in the Wild Grass City, holding submachine guns, rushed to the building where the bullets were fired.
They have to stick to the corresponding streets to prevent themselves from being shot.
"It's quite professional..." Jiang Baimian commented very calmly.
She had noticed just now that the gunman was on the rooftop.
Shang Jianyao sighed inexplicably:
"pity……"
"What a pity?" Jiang Baimian asked in confusion.
"If you break through another island, it should be impossible for him to pull the trigger." Shang Jianyao replied with regret.
Jiang Baimian looked at the width of South Street and the height of the building, nodded slightly and said:
"If the gunman is on the fourth floor of these rows, it's not impossible."
The width of South Street is about five or six meters, and the three floors are about ten meters high. If the height of the windowsill is included, you can simply calculate that if the sniper is located on the fourth floor and is roughly parallel to the two, the straight line distance from Shang Jianyao is between twelve and thirteen meters, which is just within the range of the awakened person's ability of "loss of both hands".
And the fifth floor and the rooftop are beyond the boundary.
Before Shang Jianyao could respond, Jiang Baimian smiled thoughtfully:
“I’ve overlooked this ability a little before.
"In cities with many obstacles, in an environment dominated by street fighting, it should have a greater role than I expected."
Especially in places like Wildcao City where buildings are generally not high.
"What a pity..." Shang Jianyao sighed again.
"It's a pity that there are no enemies to let you try now?" Jiang Baimian asked back with considerate knowledge.
"Yes." Shang Jianyao nodded honestly.
Jiang Baimian didn't talk about him, but just reminded him seriously:
“It’s also suitable for most awakened people.”
