Chapter 22 The Morning Bell

For the "old tune group", the name Qiao Chu not only represents a military exoskeleton device, but also symbolizes the weakness and powerlessness of the past.

That was the first time they encountered a dangerous situation without any power to fight back, and they could barely get rid of control through various encounters.

If there is any mistake in the middle, they may be wiped out.

Therefore, even people like Long Yuehong who don’t hold grudges will feel so angry when they think of Qiao Chu.

"Yes." Jiang Baimian nodded, "The wolf is probably also in the case of 'charisma out of control', but it is impossible to be sure that this is the price it pays for awakening or the ability it gains from distortion."

"Just like the nightmare horse and ghost cat before." Bai Chen was also impressed by Xiao Chong's "pet".

Jiang Baimian said "yes":

"Forget it, we don't have time and there is no need to join in the fun. Just go back and sell a piece of information to the guild. I hope it can help those hunters who have taken the mission."

"This will also raise some supplies to replace robotic arms and exoskeleton devices." Long Yuehong thought the idea of ​​selling intelligence was great.

Jiang Baimian responded with a smile:

"In fact, with the information we have, if we really need to take out all the information and replace the robotic arm and exoskeleton device, it is just that the company can't spare us."

While talking and laughing, Shang Jianyao came back after taking a shower and went to Long Yuehong.

Because of the exhaustion of the journey, they went to bed by themselves before they could turn off the lights in the living area of ​​Wild Grass City and lay in the darkness.

As if in the silence that was slowly flowing, Jiang Baimian on the lower bunk suddenly sighed:

"I hope this time I can get a good result for the first time."

Shang Jianyao from the upper bunk responded:

“I’m counting how many people in the city owe us a big meal:

"Bai Xiao, Lin Tong and their team, Odick, Han Wanghuo..."

Jiang Baimian decided to close his eyes and pretend that he was asleep.

…………

At around seven o'clock the next day, the sky had already brightened and the whole city woke up again.

Walking on the South Street, Long Yuehong looked at each other and said in surprise:

"Why are many breakfast shops not open?"

He remembered that when he came last time, although it was winter, there were many shops here selling breakfast, and the business was pretty good and even popular. After all, most ruins hunters don’t have a home here, they just rented a house for a short time and couldn’t cook by themselves, so they could only buy it on the street.

The dry, rough but cheap enough steamed bun with 1 Cass 1 cup of warm water is their favorite.

But today, except for three or four breakfast shops doing business, the rest are closed.

Even those who sell breakfast can only be said to be average.

If the streets are deserted and there are few pedestrians, this situation is understandable, but Long Yuehong glanced at him and saw a large number of ruins in tattered clothes gathering in the central square, as if waiting for something.

Bai Chen was also a little confused:

“This season, the breakfast business was very good.”

Hunters in the surrounding areas gather in the Wild Grass City.

Shang Jianyao looked at the central square, looking eager to try:

"It may be fun to watch."

"Well, go and have a look." Jiang Baimian didn't rush to have breakfast.

They walked along the street where only two cars could run parallel, stepping on cyan or gray-white stone bricks, among the four or five-story buildings with flying eaves and brackets toward the central square.

Before they really got closer, they heard the bell ringing.

The bell echoes in the wild grass city in the early morning, long and ethereal, as if it can cleanse everyone's heart.

when!

when!

The bell rang twice, and the remains hunters and local residents of the South Street rushed to the central square.

Most of them were holding lunch boxes and large bowls of various materials and styles.

Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen became more and more confused.

Shang Jianyao accelerated his pace and entered the large army.

Soon, they arrived at the central square, and the complex smell that was bound to come after a lot of people.

You should know that many ruin hunters often do not take a bath for two or three weeks, and have developed this habit.

After all, in addition to Wild Grass City, many settlements, which occupy rich water resources, have to maintain their survival from time to time with polluted water sources.

It is also because of this that the "Water Resources Protection Committee" or similar institutions have a high status within many forces.

After getting used to the environment here, Long Yuehong smelled the aroma of porridge made from rice.

At this time, a sound with a clear sense of electronic synthesis resounded throughout the square:

"Please line up with donors."

Shang Jianyao's eyes lit up and he shouted loudly:

"Which Zen master is it?"

No one paid attention to him.

Most people in the central square seemed to have enough experience and they lined up long and neat teams in no time.

The team circled around the square several times, allowing Jiang Baimian and others to see clearly the situation where the sound came from.

At the junction of the building where the Municipal Square and the library are located, a gray-white water tower stands proudly.

Below the water tower, there was a wooden frame and a large iron-black clock hung.

A robot wearing a yellow monk's robe and a red cassock stood on the wooden platform, pressing the bell hammer in his hand, facing the team, and proclaiming the Buddha's name:

"Namo Anuttara Samyaksambodhi, please listen to my words:

"Everything is empty, consciousness is true, form is emptiness, emptiness is form..."

On the side of the wooden table where the mechanical monk preached, there were several iron pots, and each pot was filled with rice porridge that was not too thin.

Near the iron pot, there are tables with white or yellow steamed buns and medium bowls stacked together.

The people who gathered here lined up in an orderly manner, listening to the scriptures, and waiting for the human servants of the mechanical monk to scoop a spoonful of porridge and hand out two steamed buns.

"Xu Liyan fulfilled his promise to the 'Monks' group'..." Jiang Baimian sighed with some clarity.

The promise was to allow the "Monks" to send mechanical monks who were less likely to get out of control to preach to Wild Grass City.

Long Yuehong curiously asked a passerby who was passing by:

"How often does this usually take?"

"It's now once a month, and it is said that there are two Buddha Birthdays a year." The passerby answered quickly.

He didn't want to delay the queue.

By then, the porridge and steamed buns may be delivered.

"What a luxury." Long Yuehong sighed.

Jiang Baimian smiled:

"The monks' church does not have to drink porridge and eat steamed buns, so the food they exchanged is very good to deal with."

While the "old tuner group" was talking, someone was looking at them at the entrance of the library.

This man is in his early twenties, mixed with some Red River bloodline, and has deep facial features. It is Xu Liyan, the lord of Wild Grass City.

He was not so formal today, making himself look like an ordinary citizen, but he didn't have any clothes to do with the traces of sewing, which made him look a little different.

The reason why Xu Liyan did this was because he wanted to visit the four-person team of "Pangu Biology" with a close attitude.

But before he could implement this plan, he found Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian and others in the square.

"This team is powerful and has special abilities. I don't know what to do when I return to Wild Grass City. I can only raise my relationship first and it's easy to talk to you..." Xu Liyan said silently, sorted out his clothes, and gave a wink to the bodyguards around him.

At this moment, he saw Shang Jianyao take out the lunch box from his tactical backpack and hurry to the end of the line.

Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen followed closely behind.

"..." Xu Liyan was a little doubtful for a moment whether he had recognized the wrong person.

If he hadn't experienced it personally, seeing Qian Bai's team like this, he would never think that the four people in front of him were all powerful characters.

With your ability, why bother to schedule this free food... Xu Liyan exhaled and walked over.

When he got closer, there was a smile on his face.

Before he could say hello, Shang Jianyao had already seen him, and pointed to the position in front of him in surprise and excitement and shouted:

"Here here!"

Xu Liyan was stunned for a second, moved his steps awkwardly, and inserted a team as he watched one by one.

His bodyguards quietly scattered around and completed the task conscientiously. Among them, there were two awakened people invited by Xu Liyan to a large sum of money.

"When did you come? Don't look for me." Xu Liyan calmed down and said pretending to complain.

Jiang Baimian behind Shang Jianyao laughed first:

"We just passed by and couldn't stay for a few days."

"That's how..." Xu Liyan breathed a sigh of relief.

After chatting for a while, as the team continued to move forward, Xu Liyan asked casually:
Chapter completed!
