Chapter 141 Companionship(1/2)
The next morning, several members of the "old transfer team" ate something briefly, packed up their belongings, and prepared to get in the car and leave.
At this moment, the gate of the border settlement opposite the stream opened, and Ding Ling walked out with Zeng Ping'an.
"So early?" She smiled and greeted the "old tuner group".
The honest Shang Jianyao asked:
"Do you want to treat us to lunch?"
Ding Ling was obviously choked and said after a little slowing down:
"I want you to wait. I just happened to go back to Wubei to report on my work. I can go with you."
A smile appeared on her face again:
"Follow me, you can save a lot of trouble on the way.
"Our Savior Army may not be the same as other forces. It is relatively strict in control, without any acquaintances, no letters of introduction, and no passes. Many farms, forest farms, and settlements will not let you get close to you, let alone trading materials.
"I also thought about asking you to help me pay attention to my husband's whereabouts on the ice field. I went along the way, so I had to help me and talk about these things directly to you."
Seeing that Xue Shiyue did not reply immediately, he just turned his head and looked at Qian Bai, and Ding Ling added two more words:
“This is not a mandatory requirement, you can refuse.
"If you don't go together, it will only cause you more trouble. It does not mean that you can't trade materials or ask for directions. In the wilderness and outside the settlements, there are some ruin hunters who act as brokers. They can do a lot of things, but they are relatively less convenient and have to pay more."
Considering that Wubei is a super-large settlement closest to Yunshan, it is almost equivalent to a city in the old world and is a must-pass road to the ice field - unless you choose to go around several more dangerous areas, Bai Chen nodded again to indicate that Ding Ling's statement was not a problem, Jiang Baimian pondered for a moment and said:
"How could we refuse such kindness?
"We just need to go to Wubei to supplement some ice fields and obtain relevant information, which are very difficult to obtain in the 'Original City'."
"Original City" does not directly border the ice field.
Ding Ling nodded with a smile:
"Don't worry, I still know a lot of people in Wubei. I can let you pass all aspects of review and get a pass to the ice field soon.
"Well, I have an elder working in the logistics department of the 'Material Coordination Committee' in northern Wubei. Can you introduce some reliable material channels to you."
Ding Ling stopped when he clicked, but he didn't say too much in detail in this regard.
"Thank you so much!" Shang Jianyao stretched out his hands before Jiang Baimian to express his gratitude.
Ding Ling was a little confused by him, and actually shook hands with him, feeling the sincerity and joy.
The next second, Shang Jianyao asked with a serious look on his face:
"If you want to join your Savior Army, what procedures will you need to go through, and how long will it take?"
Seeing that this guy was holding his captain's hand and kept not putting it down, Zeng Ping'an couldn't help but interrupt and said:
"You have to live in a certain farm, forest farm, pasture or city for at least three years."
"That's how..." Shang Jianyao withdrew his hand in disappointment.
Ding Ling skipped this topic and looked at the simple electronic watch:
"How about setting off in fifteen minutes?"
"No problem." Jiang Baimian was good at this.
After watching Ding Ling, Zeng Ping'an returned to the border settlement, she turned her head and glared at Shang Jianyao:
"Do you want to leave the company?"
"Nothing!" Shang Jianyaoli replied with confidence, "I just now didn't mean me. Besides, we have a total of ten. It's not a big problem to split one into one and join the "Salvation Army". The other nine still belong to the company!"
"Hehe." Jiang Baimian answered concisely.
In less than fifteen minutes, Ding Ling drove a green bulletproof mountain bike out of the settlement.
The "old tuner group" Jeep immediately crossed the stream and arrived next to her.
Jiang Baimian, who was in the passenger seat, glanced at him and found that there were two men and one woman in Ding Ling's car, both wearing black uniforms of the "Salvation Army".
But this does not include the young man named Zeng Ping'an before.
"Hey, where is Zeng Ping'an?" Shang Jianyao, who pressed the car window, asked when he asked, very honest.
Ding Ling, who was sitting in the driving area, looked at them sideways and smiled:
“He has to stay in the settlement.
"He and I have two other people, who are the most powerful soldiers here, so we can't leave two at once.
"If he hadn't been worried about your problems before, he would have to follow me to help you. I wouldn't want him to come with me to see you. Maybe he would suffer heavy losses if he didn't want him to come with me."
In this matter, Ding Ling acted carelessly and quite calmly.
There are four awakened people in such a border settlement? Or people with close strength but different directions of strengthening? Jiang Baimian immediately made a whisper.
No matter which possibility it is, it shows that the "Salvation Army" is extremely powerful and deserves to be the major force that made the "First City" dirty.
After a few simple greetings, Ding Ling drove the green mountain bike first and drove into the road east of Yunshan, with the jeep of the "old tuner group" following closely.
Jiang Baimian looked ahead and suddenly smiled:
"Ding Ling probably has some understanding of Zeng Ping'an's thoughts, so she deliberately finds a high-sounding excuse not to take him."
Bai Chen nodded in agreement:
“Women are relatively sensitive in this regard.”
Uh... Long Yuehong became nervous again.
Fortunately, Jiang Baimian did not continue this topic.
Several areas that were either steep or severely damaged were slowly left behind by them, and the road gradually became wider and flat before everyone's eyes.
This obviously has traces of maintenance.
"This is not better than the disrepaired wilderness road in the 'First City'?" Shang Jianyao pointed out the window with great pride.
If someone who doesn't understand the root of the matter is here, I'm afraid he will think he is the "Savior Army".
Jiang Baimian did not glar at him or sneer at him. He nodded and said sincerely:
"The previous 'Salvation Army' was extremely capable of mobilizing, which can be seen from these details."
As soon as she finished speaking, the green mountain bike in front of her stopped in an opener on the side.
"It's noon, take a break, eat something, and then come out in one go." Ding Ling pushed the door and got out of the car, shouting in the direction of the Jeep.
"Okay!" Shang Jianyao answered quite positively.
This made Jiang Baimian unable to help but doubt one thing:
In this guy's heart, who is his leader now?
Because eating is the common need of all team members, except Gnava, Jiang Baimian is not the kind of person who likes to be quarrels and narrow-minded, so she led the team members to get off the car naturally and directed them to find firewood.
——The energy accumulated by solar charging panels and battery power can be saved a little bit.
Seeing this, Ding Ling waved:
"No need to be so troublesome, let's go together."
Several of her subordinates have already made a fire.
"It's OK." Who doesn't want to be lazy when you can be lazy? Jiang Baimian is no exception.
She walked over, swept around, and praised with a smile:
"Your subordinates are very motivated!"
Many things are done without ordering.
Ding Ling sat cross-legged on the ground, smiled and said:
“Because it’s a benefit for them.
"In the border settlement, except for a fixed holiday to go home every year, we have to stay there at other times and not leave without authorization. It is our common expectation to be able to go to North Wu for the reason of taking the mission.
"When I picked people this morning, they were so active that I could only decide based on the size of my meritorious service when I was attacked by the 'Original City' last year."
The two men and women who were busy preparing lunch were smiling and nodding frequently, indicating that the captain was right.
Shang Jianyao heard this and asked with concern:
“Is that attack last year particularly dangerous?”
A male member of the "Salvation Army" who was only 1.7 meters tall and had a bumpy face replied with fear:
"Yes, Team Ding almost died. Fortunately, Ping An tried hard to save her. Ping An was shot three times at that time. We all thought that he would not be able to rescue him. Fortunately, he was young and in good health, and finally managed to survive that level."
So... Jiang Baimian forced himself to hold it back and did not let himself look at Ding Ling.
"It's all over." Ding Ling smiled and comforted her subordinates.
She turned to ask Xue Shiyue:
"Do you come from the 'Original City' and bring more money?"
To be continued...
