Embers Ad Infinitum - Chapter 113
 Compared with the time when the “Old Tune Group” came back from Qifeng Town, the scenery on the wilderness was even more bleak, as if it had entered early winter from late autumn overnight.
      ”Is it about to snow?” Long Yuehong looked at the lead-colored sky outside the window, guessing expectantly.
      He has only seen snow scenes in textbooks and slides.
      ”At this time in previous years, it was almost time to snow.” Jiang Baimian answered casually while driving.
      Bai Chen
      , who was in the passenger seat, glanced at the rearview mirror and said, “The northern part of the swamp, it may have been several snowfalls.”
      The northernmost part of the Black Marsh Wilderness is connected to the ice field, which is a world with a cold sky.
      However, because of the large area of ​​the black marsh wilderness, the weather in the area south of the marsh is not so extreme, and it is a type with four distinct seasons.
      ”I really want to see what is white and vast.” Long Yuehong retracted his gaze and said with emotion.
      Shang Jianyao, who was sitting upright, responded immediately:
      ”This is not auspicious.”
      ”Why?” Although Long Yuehong knew that Shang Jianyao couldn’t spit out ivory, she couldn’t help asking.
      He is very sensitive to topics such as auspiciousness, bad luck, and fate.
      Shang Jian Yao laughed:
      ”Think about it, when everything on the earth is covered by Blizzard, only a piece of white space is left, can that be auspicious?”
      ”It’s also…” Long Yuehong had to admit Shang Jian Yao It makes sense.
      Listening to the conversation between the two, Jiang Baimian added:
      ”Every winter, I don’t know how many wilderness wanderers are frozen to death. Snow is a disaster for them, right, Bai Chen?”
      ”Yeah.” Bai Chen pulled the dusty scarf around his neck, “Many houses in the settlements are in disrepair for a long time, and they tend to collapse when the snow is heavy, and many people don’t have enough clothes, let alone warm them.”
      Long Yue Hong was silent for a while, and sighed after a long time:
      ”It’s still a good company.”
      In any case, the employees can have winter clothes and real hot water bottles.
      Higher levels, a little more energy ration, and a heater that can be used for an hour or two from time to time, if it can be snapped up or traded.
      Speaking of “Pangu Creatures”, Long Yuehong suddenly thought of something and asked in fear,
      ”Group leader, you said, if our mission plan is really seen by the hidden people of the “Life Sacrifice” cult , Leaked out, would the surface cultists ambush us in Shuiwei Town? “The
      route can be changed, but the destination can’t be changed!
      ”Faced with this situation, we can first send bait to test.” Before Jiang Baimian answered, Shang Jianyao’s smile had already become bright.
      He patted Long Yuehong on the shoulder and said:
      ”This glorious task is left to you.”
      ”Why me?” Although Long Yuehong did not want to admit it, he still knew that the weakest person in the group was himself. Can’t afford to be the bait.
      On the one hand, it was really dangerous and he was scared. On the other hand, he felt that his mental quality had not reached the level of the group leader and Bai Chen, so he could easily mess up the task of bait.
      Long Yuehong divides the psychological qualities of the members of the “old tune group” into four levels. He himself is the fourth lowest level. The first level above is Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen who are in the second level at the same time. See Yao The only one.
      Shang Jianyao “seriously” explained:
      ”Because you look at it as bait.”
      ”…” Long Yuehong couldn’t sort out the logic inside for a while.
      ”Don’t scare him!” At this moment, Jiang Baimian, who was driving, smiled and scolded Shang Jianyao.
      She turned to Long Yuehong and said:
      ”I will ask you a question:
      ” Do people in the company know where Shuiwei Town is?” “
      I don’t know. “Long Yuehong first replied subconsciously, and then suddenly realized. “So…”
      He then remembered that Shuiwei Town could destroy the society from the old world and continue to the present relatively safely. One of the most important reasons is its hidden location. , Outsiders are hard to find.
      When Jiang Baimian reported this incident, he consciously concealed the specific situation of Shuiwei Town, and only said that he encountered their hunting team in the wilderness. After
      trying to understand, Long Yuehong was quite ashamed. :
      ”I actually forgot this. “
      You mainly tend to panic as soon as you encounter a situation that may bring danger. In the future, remember to calm down and think about it. “Jiang Baimian first taught, and then said with relief, “But, you can think of the outside members of the’Life Sacrifice’ Order ambushing us at the intended destination. For you who have only come to the surface for the second time, It’s pretty good. “
      Long Yuehong, who was praised, immediately increased
      his confidence. He changed his mind and said excitedly:
      ”So, this possible danger is not in Shuiwei Town, but in Wild Grass City?” ” “
      Old tune group “of two predetermined destination, one Shui Wai Town, the second is the city of weeds.
      Compared Shui Wai Town, the city considered weeds” Pangu “,” first city “and” White Knights “These three The more famous cities in the areas where the big forces are located are well known by many relic hunters and wilderness wanderers, and there is no problem of finding them.
      Jiang Baimian has not spoken yet, Shang Jian Yao has been equally excited to Long Yue red:
      ”This is in good shape, keep it!” In
      good shape… Wait, why should I be excited? What a serious and dangerous thing! Suddenly Long Yuehong wanted to raise her hand and pat her face.
      ”Why are you so excited?” Jiang Baimian scolded Shang Jianyao again, and then said to Long Yuehong, “It’s not bad, it’s good to be able to react so quickly. On the next road, we have to think about it. Why don’t you enter the Wild Grass City without revealing yourself, how can you determine if there is a problem with the company’s intelligence personnel there? Ha ha, don’t worry, get early, and take care of the affairs of Shuiwei Town first.”
      ”Yes, team leader!” Long Yue Hong responded loudly.
      He felt that he was slowly transforming into a reliable team member.
      After the jeep drove for a while, Bai Chen looked outside for a long time, frowning and said:
      ”There are many traces of animal migration.”
      Hearing her words, Long Yuehong realized that it was grayish and yellowish on the withered wilderness. , There are many footprints squeezed in one place, as if stepping out a road connecting north and south.
      ”This year’s climate is not normal. Many monster groups are migrating. Animals should be similar.” Jiang Baimian recalled the news and news he had read and heard, and his expression seemed quite touching. For the reader, it’s sad this winter.” As
      soon as her voice fell, a group of strange birds flew in the air.
      They are much larger than crows, their bodies are covered with black feathers, and their skulls are exposed, contaminated with filth.
      The birds flew lower and lower, and soon fell into the swamp not far away.
      During this process, they didn’t make a sound, it was as quiet as non-existent.
      When Bai Chen saw this scene, he said with a slight sigh,
      ”Telling the dead bird…
      ” It seems that there are many dead bodies over there. “
      ”Say dead bird? Is this a crow?” Long Yuehong asked curiously.
      He remembers it was mentioned in the textbook that crows were regarded as ominous in many places in the old world and called them dead birds.
      Bai Chen retracted his gaze and explained in detail:
      ”This is an aberrant creature. We all call it the dead bird or the white-bone crow.
      ”They only eat dead bodies. Where they gather, there must be death. “
      I drove Chiang white cotton gently nodded, adding a few words:
      ” This distortion of the crow is amazing, in the case of bare skull, and she was alive and well.
      ”They are not aggressive to living creatures, but if you encounter them, be careful. They can stick out a tube from their mouth, similar to a fly, and spit out digestive juice from it. This digestive juice is dangerous and can melt the corpse very quickly. Juicy, convenient for bone crows to eat.
      ”Since this digestive juice can melt dead corpses, then I think it should be effective when it reaches alive people. “
      Long Yuehong thought about the scene, and suddenly hissed.
      ”Then the problem is here.” “Shang Jianyao said enthusiastically, “How is the meat of this crow?” What is the taste of roasting? “
      Jiang Baimian glared at this guy:
      ”This crow itself is deformed, plus the food characteristics and living environment, I don’t know how many toxins and germs it carries. “
      After she finished, white morning suddenly opening:
      ” Good meat. “
      Jiang white cotton in one hand steering wheel in one hand and touched his ear:
      ” Have you eaten? “
      ”Well, it was a winter like now, and there was not enough food. Compared to humans, I think eating white-bone crows is more acceptable…” Bai Chen said in a reminiscence tone, “The meat is surprisingly good, and their eggs are more It’s the best egg I’ve ever eaten…”
      Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong raised their hands at the same time and wiped the corners of their lips.
      After doing this, Long Yuehong woke up, feeling ashamed.
      Shang Jian Yao turned his head and said to him earnestly:
      ”I controlled you with’Reference Clown’, so you made the same action as me.”
      ”Really?” Long Yuehong was relieved and panicked.
      ”Fake.” Shang Jianyao answered with a smile.
      Jiang Baimian ignored the conversation between the two in the back seat, and curiously asked Bai Chen:
      ”Will it be poisoned or infected?”
      ”Poisoning may not be obvious, but it’s okay.” Bai Chen subconsciously glanced out the window, “but we were then A dozen or so people fell ill and died almost half of them, and their corpses fed more bone crows…” The
      corner of her mouth was slightly raised, with a somewhat ridiculous ridicule.
      ”On the dusty soil, sometimes, two evils can only be the lesser one.” Jiang Baimian sighed sincerely.
      In such an exchange, the gray-green jeep drove across the wilderness. Before the sky was about to get dark, he dived into the swamp and circumnavigated to Shuiwei Town.
      Because they already knew each other, had transactions, and belonged to trusted people, after Bai Chen came forward, the guards put them into the town and parked the vehicle outside a wooden shed at the corner of the old wall.
      As soon as Jiang Baimian got off the car, he saw an acquaintance.
      ”Dogzi.” She greeted with a smile.
      The nickname Gouzi, a member of the town guard wearing a gray-pumping windbreaker, suddenly turned red and muttered:
      ”I, my name is Ding Ce…”
      Bai Chen didn’t give Gouzi a chance to continue speaking, and asked directly:
      ”Where is Mayor Tian?”
      Ding Ce’s expression suddenly became sad:
      ”Mayor, Mayor is sick. It fell.
      ”Quick, it’s going to die. “
