Chapter 48: Approaching(1/2)

Jiang Baimian is no longer surprised by Shang Jianyao's occasional thinking.

She didn't say much, and rushed to East Street with Shang Jianyao.

On the way, they met Bai Chen and Long Yuehong, but they still pretended not to know each other.

At this time, many ruin hunters had already arrived on East Street to look for more clues in the surrounding area.

The most critical warehouse areas from No. 1 to No. 3 were blocked by the city defense force and no one else was allowed to enter for the time being.

Jiang Baimian looked up at the surrounding buildings. Seeing that there were snipers in the key positions, he nodded slightly and said:

“It’s quite professional.”

Even if the City Defense Forces do not know that the "priest" is an awakened person, they should do their best in the face of such a person who has been marked as "very dangerous".

Because he could not enter the warehouse area for the time being, Jiang Baimian could only stand opposite the street with Shang Jianyao, leaning against the wall waiting.

After a while, several ruin hunters who had a close relationship with the city defense force took the lead in getting the news from it.

And the news spread through the guild hall:

"A basement was found in warehouse No. 2, with traces of human beings living in the room, and there were several worn-out printing equipment and a large number of leaflets."

Without asking, Jiang Baimian could guess what was written on the flyers with his toes.

It is nothing more than a discourse of "thinking is a trap" that has a large number of typos.

"Is the people in Wildcake City so unaware of this for so many years?" Jiang Baimian couldn't help but complain to Shang Jianyao, "With the energy so precious, have they not noticed that the electricity consumption in this area has increased significantly?"

Whether Warehouse No. 2 is private or Wild Grass City, the corresponding management personnel are to blame.

Shang Jianyao agrees very much:

"It should be a fire."

Within "Pangu Biology", everyone uses electricity according to their energy quotas. If you calculate carefully, you can immediately jump to the end of the meter and then jump to another number and react.

Jiang Baimian was about to ask Shang Jianyao if he was impressed by the cannon trial when he saw Odick wearing a thick tweed coat coming over.

The black-haired and blue-eyed "Senior Hunter" said bluntly:

"The guard at the gate recalled an incident.

"About an hour ago, a man with a pale face in a black windbreaker left the city."

Speaking of this, Odick added:

"He looks like he will fall ill at any time, and the guards are impressed with him."

I know I know... You actually saw it through the influence of dreams... Jiang Baimian understood it as soon as he heard it, and asked with a smile:

"You want to find two helpers?"

Because the "priest" seems to have been out of the city for a while, it is not too late to say such a few words.

"Your abilities are trustworthy," Odick said frankly.

When did we show our abilities in front of you? Jiang Baimian said:

"Is it because we look tall and more capable of fighting?"

In the current environment, whether it is her or Shang Jianyao, they are quite tall in their respective gender groups.

Odick replied simply:

"Confident, you are very confident."

He would not misread this.

Moreover, this is not like two newbies either.

People who can still maintain enough confidence after passing the novice stage must have some skills.

"I can't wait." Shang Jianyao agreed with Odick's explanation.

Jiang Baimian didn't say much, nodded and said:

"Lead the way."

Odick turned around, walked quickly into a nearby parking lot, and drove out in a red off-road.

This car has obviously been modified, with thick enough armor and bulletproof glass, which looks very ostentatious.

"Great Beauty." Jiang Baimian almost whistled.

And Shang Jianyao helped her make up for her regret.

This is a bad habit they developed in the two days of the "Rootless" camp.

"I didn't expect that Odick, a person who looks very calm and restrained, would drive such a car. Tsk, his heart might be wild." Jiang Baimian said to Shang Jianyao in a low voice.

Odick pressed the window and said with a stern face:

"Get in the car."

After saying that, he looked ahead and said:

"When you are not that powerful, you have to use whatever car you have."

But after repeated modifications, it is not so easy to give up.

"If you dislike it, you can sell it to me. I have a group of friends who will definitely like it." Shang Jianyao sincerely suggested when he opened the back seat door.

Jiang Baimian, who had already gotten on the bus, frowned slightly:

"How strange is this..."

At this moment, Odick suddenly regretted asking these two people to be helpers.

If it weren't for their deep involvement, he wouldn't have made this choice. After all, it would be good to have one person missing from the city lord's affairs.

Dahong's off-road drives back to the central square, turns into South Street, and drives out of the city gate.

Although Long Yuehong and Bai Chen had already described the situation outside, Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao suddenly became silent when they saw countless wanderers in the wilderness kneeling or sitting together on both sides of the road.

Under the cold wind, their faces were blue and white, and there was almost no light in their eyes.

There are some people lying there further a little further away from the ground nests and tent areas, not knowing whether they are life or death.

At this time, Dahong's off-road stopped.

After a quick browse, countless gazes looked here from all directions.

Odick pushed the door down, walked to a man in his thirties who looked pretty clear, took out a portrait of the "priest", and asked:

"Have you seen this person?"

Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao in the car both pulled out their pistols and each was on guard against one side.

When the man in his thirties looked at the portrait of the "priest", an older man in the crowd behind him stood up and moved closer to this side, as if he wanted to grab the job.

He staggered, fell to the ground, and then there was no movement.

His face was intertwined with white and his eyes were open without any spirit.

In Shang Jianyao's response, it means that this person's consciousness has disappeared.

Just a slight fall, he died.

On the other side, Jiang Baimian also saw some wilderness wanderers sitting and falling to the side, never getting up again.

In the howling winter cold wind, the remaining withered wild grasses around them were either unable to fall down or were swept into the air.

At this time, the man in his thirties who was asked answered weakly:

“I’ve seen it.

"There are very few people leaving the city today, and he has been going to the end."

Odick nodded, took out an energy bar and handed it to the man.

Almost at the same time, the eyes that looked here were bleeding and an indescribable light appeared.

The man in his thirties took the energy bar and quickly peeled off the packaging and folded it in half.

He thought for a moment and folded half of them in half again.

Then he woke up a little girl leaning against him, stuffed three-quarters of the energy bar into her hand, and urged:

"Eat quickly! Eat quickly!"

The little girl looked seven or eight years old, with her face dirty and her eyes bright.

She was a little confused, but she was very obedient. She took two pieces of energy bars, one long and one short, and quickly swallowed them.

The man in his thirties felt relieved and ate the remaining energy bar in his hand in a few mouthfuls.

"Thank you...thank you..." He raised his head and said to Odick in a vague way.

It was not until this time that Shang Jianyao saw clearly his appearance:

A honest man with a national face and bronze skin.

Odick didn't stop and quickly returned to the car and drove to the end of the crowd.
To be continued...
