Genaverre apparently understood what Jiang Baimian was thinking, and his slightly synthesized baritone voice sounded:
"But we don't have any aberrant creatures there."
"Haha, it's just a guess, a bold hypothesis, and careful verification." Jiang Baimian didn't continue the topic, but instead asked Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen, "Are we still exploring the Wasteland Ruin 13 in a few days?"
"Too dangerous." This time, Long Yuehong beat Shang Jianyao to it.
Bai Chen expressed agreement to some extent:
"We can't deal with that Wu Meng as we are now."
"Our strengths are mostly in high-tech products, and these are often inseparable from circuits and circuit boards. When we encounter Wu Meng, we are essentially tying our hands and fighting him."
Within the "Old Task Force," Shang Jianyao was the only Awakened in the non-high-tech field.
"It seems that Wu Meng can't leave the area where the 'Dao and Electrical Appliance Repair' radio station is located." Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully.
Shang Jianyao laughed:
"I remembered DiMarco."
DiMarco was "sealed" in the "Underground Ark" and couldn't leave.
"DiMarco doesn't feel as powerful as Wu Meng." Long Yuehong truthfully said his thoughts, "Moreover, they specialize in different areas."
"That's true." Jiang Baimian nodded.
She immediately said:
"Judging from today's situation, as long as we don't get close to the radio station and don't carry any electrical appliances with us, we won't be affected by Wu Meng. We just need to be wary of his subordinates, his pets, and his electronic 'puppets' causing trouble, which we can deal with.
"Well, it's possible that there are other powerful creatures in the city ruins, but if we don't deliberately go deep, we shouldn't encounter them. After all, similar creatures have territorial awareness, and Wu Meng's existence can deter them, preventing them from entering the corresponding area."
Clap clap clap, Shang Jianyao applauded Jiang Baimian's analysis.
"I haven't finished yet!" Jiang Baimian said with an amused scolding.
She paused and then said:
"So, if we are to conduct a third exploration, we need to change our mission objectives:
"It's no longer about finding the secrets of that ruin, but about collecting supplies to pay off our debts, and finding Feilin Tong along the way.
"Along the way, if we can find some useful clues or catch that white wolf, that would be the best, but if we can't, we won't force it.
"This will minimize the risk."
Long Yuehong recalled his previous experiences and said slowly:
"Just collecting supplies and not going too far doesn't seem like a big problem..."
He then realized that in the previous adventure, except for the white wolf attack, they were scaring themselves most of the time, and there was no real danger.
"Yes." This time, Shang Jianyao actually agreed with Long Yuehong. He said with a smile, "If we really want to visit Wu Meng, we might have to bring along Teacher Du Heng, or call Xiao Chong."
You're quite sober... Long Yuehong muttered in his heart.
Seeing Bai Chen nodding, Jiang Baimian smiled:
"Then it's settled.
"Well, before that, let's report the situation of today's operation to the company and see what opinions they have."
…………
In the evening, not long after the "Old Task Force" finished sending the telegram, Wang Fugui visited them again.
"It seems like you're not all here?" Wang Fugui looked around and didn't see Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong.
Jiang Baimian smiled:
"They went to the toilet."
With so many ruin hunters coming and going in Forward Camp every day, there must be enough public toilets, but they are not well-cleaned and not so clean.
Fortunately, the wasteland wanderers from the surrounding settlements would come to collect feces to fertilize the wasteland they had reclaimed in the mountains. At the same time, they would take on some toilet cleaning tasks posted by wealthier hunters.
The stench from the toilets not only affected the ordinary ruin hunters who used the public toilets, but also those who stayed in hotels could smell it.
In such a small camp converted from an ancient castle, who could avoid it?
In addition, in places with poor security and not-so-good order, it's best to go to public toilets in groups unless you have enough confidence in your own strength.
Otherwise, you're squatting there, concentrating on exerting yourself, and suddenly someone kicks open the partition, kicks you down, and steals your belongings. It's not easy to fight back.
Wang Fugui nodded almost imperceptibly and said to the two women:
"A few of us discussed it and want to go to Wasteland Ruin 13 again. What about you?"
"You still want to go?" Jiang Baimian asked deliberately.
Bai Chen sighed in agreement:
"Such a dangerous place."
Wang Fugui smiled:
"After we came back and calmed down, we thought about it carefully and found that it wasn't that dangerous most of the time. Except for the white wolf incident, we didn't encounter any real attacks.
"And everyone had a very good harvest today. It would be a shame not to go again."
"People die for wealth, and birds die for food." Jiang Baimian used Wang Fugui's previous words to tease him.
She immediately said:
"We are also preparing to go again, and we are going to change our mission objectives:"
She roughly explained what the team had discussed earlier.
Wang Fugui nodded in admiration:
"Your plan is the most stable.
"Then let's set it for the day after tomorrow, how about that? Any later and it will be more troublesome."
"Why?" Jiang Baimian keenly noticed that Wang Fugui's words had a hidden meaning.
Wang Fugui looked back at the main building of the castle:
"I received news that the garrison here reported the latest information about the white wolf to the higher-ups. 'First City' plans to send an elite team to solve this dangerous creature to avoid causing major damage.
"On the surface, it seems that the noble who offered the reward for the white wolf couldn't wait any longer and planned to use his resources in the army to achieve his goal. But in reality, I think they are starting to think that there might be a significant secret behind the white giant wolf."
"Elite team..." Jiang Baimian repeated the phrase thoughtfully.
Wang Fugui smiled and said:
"The elite teams in the 'First City' regular army are no weaker than you. They each have their own strengths. For example, there is an exoskeleton armor squad, about twelve people, with at least six sets of equipment. For example, there is an Awakened squad, composed of four to six people. Hehe, unlike us who meet by chance and team up depending on the situation, they are all carefully selected, and their abilities can effectively complement each other. So, although there are no 'Mind Corridor' level experts, their cooperation is also very terrifying."
"I see..." Jiang Baimian actually knew something about this.
Wang Fugui further said:
"The fact that you have military exoskeleton devices is no secret in the camp. I'm afraid those self-righteous guys will target you and want to make a fortune, so it's best to complete the exploration as soon as possible and leave here in advance."
"Okay, let's set it for the day after tomorrow." Jiang Baimian didn't think that a strong dragon could necessarily suppress a local snake, especially since this local snake was a strong dragon itself.
Seeing Wang Fugui turning to leave, Bai Chen suddenly asked:
"Do you know who the noble who offered the reward for the white wolf is?"
"It seems to be..." Wang Fugui recalled and said, "The son of Governor Beauriss."
"Him." Jiang Baimian remembered Asouss's face.
Bai Chen didn't ask any more questions.
…………
Late at night.
Long Yuehong and Bai Chen, who had woken up from a nap, replaced Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian to keep watch.
Shang Jianyao got into the back seat of the jeep, lay down, and quickly fell asleep.
In a daze, he suddenly saw a fleshy paw slapped on the car window.
The paw's pads had no skin or fur, and looked bloody.
Shang Jianyao sat up with a start and opened the car door.
What appeared before him was the Sleepy Cat with a tail like a scorpion and bone spurs on its shoulders.
"Meow." The Sleepy Cat with exposed blood-red muscles actually made a soft sound.
It then turned its body, raised its tail, and walked towards the corner of the street ahead.
Shang Jianyao laughed:
"Xiao Chong asked you to take me to find him?"
The Sleepy Cat responded with a "meow" sound.
After turning left at the intersection, Shang Jianyao saw a familiar street.
This was a place near the Golden Apple District in the Red Wolf Zone, where the "Old Task Force" had been before, but hadn't stayed.
Shang Jianyao followed the Sleepy Cat through the streets and alleys, and soon arrived in front of a low building located on the side of the street.
Walking up to the fifth floor step by step, he found that a door on the right was ajar, and the Sleepy Cat darted in.
"Xiao Chong!" Shang Jianyao excitedly pushed open the door and shouted.
Inside the door, a child's figure wearing yellow clothes was sitting there, playing a game.
He turned his head, it was the black-haired boy Xiao Chong, who was only seven or eight years old.
Shang Jianyao woke up with a start, opened his eyes, and sat up.
A clear look of joy quickly appeared on his face, and he said to himself:
"Xiao Chong asked Nightmare Mare to tell me where he lives now in this way?"
