Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 24 Letter (recommendation ticket)

Because the design of the external military skeleton device must take into account the recovery of the wearer after death, and Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong In the previous two months of training, I was familiar with this kind of item, which is not unfamiliar. Therefore, Shang Jianyao only fumbled a few times before he found the button and successfully closed the integrated system and energy backpack.

After completing this step, the next job is nothing technical-unlock the metal buckles at the auxiliary joints one by one.

Long Yuehong opened his mouth while flicking the buckles on his elbow joint and wrist, and then closed it again.

He just stopped talking like this three more times, finally he couldn’t help but suppressed his voice and asked:

“You were not nervous just now, were you afraid?” p>

Shang Jianyao, who is in charge of the legs, pointed to himself:

“Are you asking me?”

“Who else is here besides you?” Long Yuehong was very angry Asked funny again.

Bai Chen was repairing the jeep behind him. Jiang Baiman took the pistol and walked around to the other side. In the small area where the body was, he and Shang Jianyao were the only people.

Shang Jianyao patted the corpse’s thigh:

“There is him.”

“…” Long Yuehong wanted to scold the guy opposite, but Unfathomable mystery is a little scared.

He remembered the stories that adults often use to scare children.

Shang Jianyao constricted his smile, and said “Um”:

“I will definitely be nervous and scared too.”

“But I can’t see it at all. “Long Yuehong blurted out.

Shang Jianyao nodded gently:

“Because I told myself in my heart: Your goal is to save all mankind.”

“…This is What’s the connection?” Long Yuehong felt that he was used to Shang Jianyao’s brain twitching from time to time, “I mean, why don’t you be afraid and nervous?”

Shang Jianyao replied with a serious expression:

“On the way to achieve this goal, sacrifice is inevitable.”

At this moment, Long Yuehong didn’t know whether to say that Shang Jianyao was normal or not.

He quickly decided to abandon the topic and asked instead:

“Don’t you feel uncomfortable? Killed two people with your own hands.

Not long ago, they could still laugh, walk and jump, alive, flesh and blood.

“Uh…it doesn’t have to be uncomfortable, is there no special feeling anyway?”

Shang Jianyao is slightly nodded invisibly:

“Yes. ”

Long Yuehong inexplicably relaxed.

Shang Jianyao continued:

“I want to make two more shots.”

“…Why?” Long Yuehong gave up letting his thoughts and Shang Jianyao Synchronize.

Shang Jianyao glanced at him, then cast his gaze on the jeep behind him:

“We never thought about robbing them, hurting them, shooting them, and they from the Very beginning, they have malicious intent on us, tracking us all the way, and attacking whenever we have the opportunity.

“If we didn’t perform supernormally and made one more mistake, then we’re here now and searched We are the corpse, and do you think they will feel special because of it?

“No, they only sing songs, spit our mouths, eat our energy bars, eat our compressed biscuits, eat our military cans, and make hot pots with the black swamp iron snakes we killed , Can this be tolerated?”

A similar picture flashed through Long Yuehong’s mind conditionedly, which reminded him of the intense hunger he often endured through childhood.

He suddenly furious:

“No!”

After answering, he suddenly wilted, like a basketball that hasn’t been cheered up for a long time :

p>

“But, I still don’t feel so comfortable.”

When Shang Jianyao heard these words, the corners of his mouth slowly opened, revealing a somewhat grandiose smile:

“This is earth.

“Get used to it. “

“It’s not the first time you have come to the surface…” Long Yuehong muttered, and got busy.

Before long, they opened all the metal It snapped and took the external military skeleton device off the body.

Jiang Baiman had returned to the jeep at some point, looking thoughtful and said:

“Long Yuehong, give it a try and see if you can control it. “

Similar things always make some men enthusiastic, and Long Yuehong is one of them. Regardless of the blood remaining on the outer skeleton device, he urged Shang Jianyao to, with the help of the other party, Adjusted the length of the auxiliary skeleton, put on the energy backpack, put on the black helmet, and locked the metal buckle.

When the integrated system self-check was completed, Long Yuehong took a look and quickly reported:

“There is still 23% of the electricity, which can be used for 1 hour and 55 minutes. “

“Don’t believe this, this is just a situation where you maintain normal exercise and only do basic operations. If you want to fly through the skies or escaping through the ground like this one just now, run and jump wildly, all systems are all Overload operation, I estimate at most half an hour. “Jiang Baiman raised his left leg and pointed at the body of the middle-aged man with his toe.

“en. “Long Yuehong began to perform various basic movements.

After a series of operations, he Surprised:

“Group leader, this is much better than the one I tried in the company before! “

Jiang Baiman “heh” said:

“It is an imitation of the company.” You also don’t want to think about how strong we can be in machinery and electronics as a biological company? “

“Yes. “Long Yuehong was excited to test the rest of the functions of the external military skeleton device.

Shang Jianyao still squatted on the spot, searching every pocket of the corpse, not even letting go of the inner layer of the pants.

p>

“Only two packets of biscuits. “Finally, he looked at the item placed in front of him with disgust.

The two packages of biscuits are not compressed, and the packages are written with rows of red river text-because of the serious wear and tear, Shang Jianyao only barely recognized “scallion” and “soda”.

——On earth, the two most mainstream languages ​​are earth and Honghe. The former is “Pangu Biology” and “Salvation”. The lingua franca of “Army” and other forces, the latter is mainly used in the Red River Basin and the forces near the Red River Basin-this includes “First City”, “White Knights Group” and “Orange Subsidiary” etc.

In addition to the two packets of biscuits, Shang Jianyao also found two letter papers and a badge.

Those two letter papers, one folded neat and tidy, and one folded together randomly.

Shang Jianyao unfolded the neat and clean letter paper and commented casually:

“This has been folded many times. “

After Jiang Baiman instructed Long Yuehong to warn all around, he moved to the side of Shang Jianyao, squatted down, and read the letter with him.

This letter is from the earth:

“Dear father:

“I have a good time in First City. Although there are some obstacles to reading, the dialogue is basically no problem. No one can detect that I am from the wilderness anymore. ……

“…The hierarchy here is very strict, but compared to the outside, it is beautiful like heaven. As long as you follow their rules, obey people higher than yourself, and find your class and Status, you can live more smoothly…

“…Don’t worry about my studies. With the help of that person, I have already transferred to a formal Academy. As long as I graduate successfully, I can get rid of Become a citizen with the status of’slave’…

“…I wonder if the food reserves in the town are still enough? Although it is still summer, I heard some students say that this winter will be particularly difficult. I don’t know where the basis of their judgment comes from. I just think it’s necessary to tell you so that everyone can prepare as soon as possible. Even if this is a rumor, I would rather believe it than ignore…

“… It’s a good thing to be a relic hunter. Compared to being a robber, this profession is obviously safer. Of course, it is also very dangerous… Don’t go to the newly discovered city ruins, don’t go to the city ruins where few people come back. Also, stop being a robber, although this can indeed bring back winter food to the town as quickly as possible…

“…I will try to find merchants in the city who dare to smuggle food. But I don’t have any confidence, and I don’t have enough resources to exchange. I just hope that the children and grandchildren who have brought me to know Elder’s Council Elder more, see if I can find opportunities from them…

“…Finally , I hope you are always healthy, I hope that the famine will not come, I hope that Uncle Ji Shun, Uncle Jinfeng, Ayu, and Qianning are all doing well, and they can bring enough food to their homes. I hope everyone can wait until Elder’s Council Recognition, wait until the day when it is integrated into First City as a citizen instead of a slave. Also, that person is very good to mother, don’t need to worry…

“…Your little Anji. “

After reading it, Jiang Baiman and Shang Jianyao have not spoken for a long time.

“This is earth.” “After a while, Jiang Baiman laughed at himself.

Shang Jianyao responded in a low voice:

“He has read this letter more than twenty times…”

You can make a certain judgment from the appearance of the letter’s crease and the condition of the paper.

Jiang Baiman wanted to tell Shang Jianyao that this kind of thing is dead and dead, there is no need to feel guilty for it, but suddenly Thinking of one thing, I can only patted the shoulder of the other person:

“Everyone has two sides, even more than two sides, and they are completely different to their children and strangers.

“As a stranger, you don’t need to care about what happens to his child if he loses his father. You just need to be glad that you are alive.

“I know what you are thinking, and I listen After some rumors, I can tell you with certainty that the people in our company will not be reduced to this level of wilderness bandit. If they want to snatch, they will only snatch the material transport team of the enemy forces. “

Shang Jianyao did not speak, folded the letter, and tucked it back into the inner pocket of the mature man.

Then, he unfolded the other letter, crumpled Letter from:

“Task description:

“Explore the area north of Yuelu Station, and collect information about the target.

“Target description:

“Male, of unknown origin, about 1.8 meters tall, with black hair and golden eyes. He is very handsome and attractive. He likes to wear a trench coat, boots, and gloves. He always combs his hair neat and tidy. Unlike the wilderness wanderers, the degree of danger is tentatively determined to be’high’.

“Remuneration:

“One ton of flour of ordinary grade (guaranteed by the guild).

“Task level:

“C, 100 credits.”

“This is the mission document of the Hunter Guild.” Jiang Baiman introduced, and then took it thoughtfully I picked up the badge found by Shang Jianyao, “Yuelu Station is an old world relic in the Black Marsh Wilderness, and further north, it is in the depths of Great Swamp, where dangers are dense.”

while speaking , Jiang Baiman checked the badge in his hand.

The badge is brass-colored, and the front is embossed with blurred facial features. The cheeks of the face are engraved with a saber and a gun.

A small chip is embedded on the back of the badge.

This is a badge from the Hunter Guild.
