After the emergency signal flare was released, Shang Jianyao and the other four drove their jeeps back to the hill where Black Rat Town was located, and camped in a hidden place above the mountainside - in this way, they could monitor the woods from a high place to see if there were any ruins hunters and wilderness wanderers passing by and approach the entrance to the cave.

After Long Yuehong, who had removed the exoskeleton device, got the tent, he asked loudly in confusion:

"Team leader, I have something I can't figure it out."

"What?" Jiang Baimian was happy to answer the questions for beginners.

Long Yuehong frowned and said:

"Why did that group of people have to attack Black Rat Town? When they just discovered a ruin in an old world city, they had a completely easier way to obtain more resources. There is no need to attack Black Rat Town with relatively sufficient weapons. Haven't you also said that? Now is a special environment where ruin hunters and wilderness wanderers can live in peace and even form alliances. After all, everyone hopes to have more helpers to deal with the hidden dangers in the ruins."

Jiang Baimian nodded first, then smiled:

“Good question.

"But, although the main premise is that, the specific situation still needs to be analyzed in detail. I have read an old world book before, which rigidly applies existing principles, concepts, situations, and behaviors that do not analyze changes in things, developments and corresponding specialities are called making the mistake of "doctrinism".

"There are two main differences in the matter in Black Rat Town:

"First, we have just analyzed that the attacker team is either at least thirty people, or has seven or eight core and elite members, surrounded by a large number of vassals. No matter which possibility is, they are absolutely strong. In addition, the weapon configuration and ammunition situation that can be seen on the scene can completely distinguish them from the ordinary ruin hunter team and the wilderness wanderer team.

"Second, as a secondary settlement, Black Rat Town will definitely not explore it when a large number of humans flock to the newly discovered ruins of the city. At most, it will be impossible to become the cannon fodder that the attacker team wants.

"In this case, if the attacker team had the confidence to solve the residents of Black Rat Town with almost no damage or small losses and obtained a considerable amount of resources, then they had every reason to create such a tragedy.

"In this way, even if the ruins of that city are too dangerous and the attackers team dare not approach, they will have enough gains and not come in vain."

Seeing Long Yuehong nodding frequently, Jiang Baimian added:

"And there are many additional possibilities, for example, the attacker team was full of hatred for everyone due to past experiences, and would rather bear the losses than kill them. For example, they came here because there was a strange roar north of Yuelu Station. They didn't know that a new ruin of an old world city was discovered there. For example, Black Rat Town was the first to detect an abnormality because it was located near the area north of Yuelu Station. They sent people to investigate and gained something that the attacker team was willing to take risks."

Long Yuehong felt dizzy when she heard this, but she had to admit that the team leader was right.

There are indeed too many possibilities for things to be investigated without the investigation of all aspects.

Jiang Baimian didn't explain anymore, looked around, thought for a few seconds and said:

"In the next few days, we will take turns to act.

"People in the camp are responsible for guarding the jeep and monitoring the cave area. People who go out investigate whether there are any signs of murder or other clues nearby.

"Well, this time, Long Yuehong and I are in the team, Bai Chen and Shang Jianyao."

"Why?" Long Yuehong blurted out.

Shang Jianyao smiled:

“Because you are weaker.

“Isn’t this obvious?”

"..." Long Yuehong seemed to have been punched and couldn't fight back, and she became a little wilted.

Indeed, the reason for re-formation is not difficult to see:

Shang Jianyao showed the ability and sufficient calmness of the awakened person, plus the physique, energy, skills and talents of the genetically modified person. In the "old tune group", his strength can already be ranked between second and third - at close range, he is undoubtedly stronger than Bai Chen. After exceeding a certain range, Bai Chen, who is good at sniping and has rich experience, is still a little better than him.

In this way, Jiang Baimian, the strongest group, and Long Yuehong, the weakest group, can not only ensure the survival of the latter more effectively, but also make the strength of the two teams more evenly.

Hearing Shang Jianyao's ridicule, Jiang Baimian glanced at him and shook his head helplessly, with a very small amplitude.

At this time, Bai Chen, who was responsible for guarding around, interrupted:

"The team leader, it's actually not necessary. I haven't used a jeep in recent days. The solar charging panel can charge the spare battery. Don't worry about the exoskeleton device consuming too fast power and not being able to use it at critical moments."

"That's right." Jiang Baimian smiled and said to Long Yuehong, "You continue to be with Bai Chen. Remember to wear an exoskeleton device when you go out. Haha, with this operation, you have become the strongest one in the group. People, and the most important thing is equipment. I remember an ancient article said: A gentleman is not a different life, but good at using things."

Long Yuehong's spirit recovered quickly, and she felt that what the team leader said was really reasonable.

Shang Jianyao cares more about another point:

"Why haven't I learned this ancient text?"

Bai Chen has never heard of it.

Jiang Baimian recalled:

"Extracurricular reading materials, extracurricular reading materials."

Thinking that Jiang Baimian said that he had a biologist father, and this D9-level employee who was at least one step away from management, could receive far more treatment than his own, Long Yuehong was relieved and Shang Jianyao no longer had any questions.

Jiang Baimian then looked up at the sky and determined the location of the sun:

"It's still early, Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, you guys are guarding the camp and monitoring the area of ​​Hei Rat Town. Shang Jianyao and I went out to search for it for a while."

"Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong and Bai Chen answered loudly at the same time.

Without delay, Shang saw Yao and Jiang Baimian leave the hidden place and head towards the bottom of the hill.

They each brought two pistols, one carrying an assault rifle and the other carrying a grenade gun.

After leaving the hill where Black Rat Town is located and coming to the hilly area with dense vegetation, Shang Jianyao suddenly spoke:

"Team leader, why do we have to wait for the company's people to come and not take action on our own and track down the attackers?"

Jiang Baimian slowed down, turned halfway over his body, and said quite directly:

"For your safety."

"We have an exoskeleton device, with enough firepower, and can completely deal with the attacker team, and there will be no danger." Shang Jianyao said with a serious expression.

Jiang Baimian looked at his eyes and responded calmly:

"I know, you feel angry."

She paused and breathed quickly:

“I have, too.

"But in battle, bullets will not have eyes. They will not be tolerant of you just because you are handsome and a novice. On the contrary, they prefer such people.

"Besides, how do you make sure that the attacker team does not have the ability to deal with military exoskeleton devices? They can all get the temperature-pressure bombs, and I won't be surprised at all with other powerful equipment."

"We can track, reconnaissance first, and then consider whether to attack after confirming the situation. If the matter is not done, we will withdraw the people who come to wait for the company." Shang Jianyao was still unwilling to give up.

Jiang Baimian turned his body and said as he walked forward:

"Don't make tracking so simple.

“In the Department of Security, the staff responsible for reconnaissance are certainly one of the best people in the corresponding team.

"If you and Long Yuehong have enough experience, I do want to try it, but now, can you guarantee that you will not be discovered during reconnaissance and will not detonate the battle on the spot?

“In a mature team, it’s not that everyone can’t make mistakes, but when someone makes mistakes, other members know how to make up for them.

"When Bai Chen and I made a mistake and you and Long Yuehong can quickly remedy it, our 'old transfer team' can try something similar."

Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao who was catching up with quickly:

"Aren't you still attacking Long Yuehong just now, wanting to damage his confidence, fail the assessment, and withdraw from the 'old transfer team'?

“Now aren’t worried that tracing the attacker will cause him any danger?

"Ah, I understand. What you think is that by then, you can wear the exoskeleton device and rush into the attacker team, kill the special kill, so that Long Yuehong only needs to watch."

As he was talking, Jiang Baimian smiled:

"Aren't you going to save all mankind? How can you take such a big risk at this time? If you die on the spot, who will assume that sacred mission?"

"... Team leader, don't say that greed for life and fear of death is so high-sounding." Shang Jianyao was almost surrounded.

Then he said seriously:

"There are future generations."

"Uh...I don't know if you're kidding." Jiang Baimian said instead, "I have to be responsible for you. You and Long Yuehong are not married yet and have not given birth to children. If you just die like this, it would be unworthy. Haha, it's not good for the company."

"Do you have children? Don't you take risks often?" Shang Jianyao asked in a hurry.

Jiang Baimian glared at this guy:

"No.

"When I was married together, I was lying in the hospital and could die at any time. Later, I survived by being a volunteer and undergoing genetic modification. Haha, it would be dead if I didn't do it anyway. It would be better to fight for it. The result was still lucky.

"In the future, because the genetic modification situation is still unclear and uncertain about the hidden dangers, it is necessary to further observe and wait for various experiments to provide more convincing data, such as genetic stability, so I have never participated in the marriage."

Jiang Baimian suddenly frowned:

"What do I tell you about this? Can our situation be the same? Most of the time, I am still very sure if I take risks."

She didn't want to continue this topic anymore, and she turned aside:

"You're because..."

She pointed to her head:

"That's why I gave up the unified marriage?"

Shang Jianyao replied calmly:

"Although I do have problems with this..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Baimian asked in a hilarious way:

"You know it yourself?"

Shang Jianyao ignored her and continued:

"But a large part of the abnormal behaviors in normal times is actually intentional."

"Why?" Jiang Baimian asked.

Shang Jianyao's eyes flashed for a moment, and he turned his head and looked into the distance:

"I don't want children, nor do I want a woman to worry about it."
