Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen stood there, unable to recover for a long time.
So, your so-called participation is whether or not to "sing" along with those beasts... After regaining his thoughts, Long Yuehong wanted to say this, but he felt that in this atmosphere, whoever paid attention to Shang Jianyao would lose.
After a few seconds, Jiang Baimian laughed:
"Bai Chen, you forgot to be vigilant about the surroundings!
“Shang Jianyao, even if dozens of wilderness bandits came, they might not be able to deal with us, but you, with your own strength, disintegrated the defense system from within!"
Shang Jianyao nodded solemnly:
“So I considered it.
"Moreover, I was prepared for emergencies."
“I was indeed a little surprised, but I didn't relax my vigilance around.” Bai Chen forcibly explained.
She felt a little ashamed of her gaffe and dereliction of duty just now.
As a human who has wandered in the wilderness for many years, her knowledge is considerable. She has encountered many wanderers with mental breakdowns and abnormal states, and their words and deeds are even more exaggerated than Shang Jianyao's.
But the problem is that Shang Jianyao behaves very normally most of the time, so normally that Bai Chen thinks he is just occasionally making a joke or playing a prank.
She never expected that he would be so "creative."
"Not bad, always maintain a state of alert." Jiang Baimian didn't expose Bai Chen's words, slightly tilted her head, and smiled at Shang Jianyao, "When this training is over, it is indeed necessary to conduct a mental assessment of all members."
Shang Jianyao clapped his hands gently:
"Wish you a perfect score!"
Bai Chen didn't expect Jiang Baimian to be so frank about the mental assessment, because it would obviously severely stimulate Shang Jianyao - although she had suggested it before, Shang Jianyao didn't seem too exaggerated at that time, barely within the normal range, at most liking to tell cold jokes, so the suggestion was not strongly targeted.
Similarly, Bai Chen didn't expect Shang Jianyao to not care at all, as if it was just an exaggerated prank just now.
Or, has he already recognized his own state, accepted himself as he is, not being inferior, not being sensitive at all? Bai Chen shook her head, reminding herself that no matter what others do, she must do her job well and not be affected.
At this time, Jiang Baimian looked down at the electronic watch on her wrist:
"Okay, take turns to rest.
"Normally, Bai Chen and I would be a group, and Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong would be a group, taking turns to rest, but you two don't have much experience, and it is easy to ignore some signs. Moreover, when going on fieldwork, the danger is heavy, the conditions are limited, and there is no need for everyone to forcibly distinguish between men and women. Being honest with each other and trusting each other is the most important thing. So, Shang Jianyao and I are a group, and Bai Chen and Long Yuehong are a group."
Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian smiled:
"Actually, the conditions are very good this time. There is a jeep, one sleeping in the front row, and one sleeping in the back seat, which will not disturb each other at all."
Bai Chen nodded when she heard the words:
“I once slept in the same tent with two men, two women, a pig, and two chickens.”
Jiang Baimian then stood up:
"Okay, you guys go rest, Shang Jianyao and I will start the night watch."
She looked down at her watch again:
"You have six hours."
"Team Leader, isn't this too long?" Bai Chen was not too relieved.
Starting the night watch for six hours from now will just go through the most tired and sleepy stage of the human physiological cycle, and it is easy to ignore the abnormal movements around.
Jiang Baimian smiled and said:
"The three of us have all undergone genetic modification, and a common feature is that we are energetic.
"In this regard, I should be stronger than them. I can maintain good concentration even if I don't sleep for a day or two."
"I can also..." Long Yuehong muttered.
Jiang Baimian turned her head to look at him:
"What did you say?
"Are you saying bad things about me behind my back?"
"He didn't!" Shang Jianyao replied, "He said it in front of you!"
Long Yuehong choked and coughed.
Jiang Baimian waved her hand and said to Shang Jianyao:
"You are quite normal at this time, okay, you two go to sleep quickly."
She said to Bai Chen and Long Yuehong at last.
That night, nothing unexpected happened. When the sun rose from the horizon, dyeing the clouds golden red, the four members of the "Old Tune Team" were already around the campfire, drinking warm water and nibbling on energy bars.
"It's so beautiful, so spectacular..." Long Yuehong looked in the direction of the sunrise and found that his vocabulary was so scarce.
The magnificent and beautiful scene, the picture containing infinite vitality, made Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao, who came to the surface for the first time, feel as if their bodies and minds had been washed, and felt a certain unspeakable beauty and hope.
"I was even more out of control than you when I saw the sunrise for the first time." Jiang Baimian did not laugh at them.
Bai Chen also looked at the sunrise, but did not speak.
As a human being born and raised in the wilderness, she was already accustomed to the sunrise, but she still felt inexplicably happy and excited every time she saw it.
"Okay, pack up and prepare to leave. Long Yuehong, you and Bai Chen sit in the back row and take another nap. Shang Jianyao and I will take turns driving." Jiang Baimian filled her water bag and stood up and said.
"Yes, Team Leader!" Long Yuehong looked away and responded loudly.
After dealing with the campfire, he saw that the empty shells of the several cans he ate last night were randomly thrown on the ground:
"Team Leader, aren't you going to recycle them?"
"Pangu Biology" is located underground and lacks mineral deposits. Metal resources have always been in a very difficult state. It must use its own produced food, genetically modified raw liquid, biological agents, underground brine, and salt extracted from the rock surface to exchange corresponding materials with other major forces.
Jiang Baimian looked back, and was silent for two seconds:
"No need.
"Takes up space."
After saying that, she opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.
Since the team leader said so, Long Yuehong resisted the urge to recycle, held the gun, and quickly returned to the car.
The simulated engine sound sounded, and the gray-green four-door jeep with dense solar charging panels drove out of the open space, away from this small ruin.
A few minutes later, a black shadow walked out from behind the half-collapsed buildings and tiptoed close to the extinguished campfire.
"He" paused from time to time, using plants and crumbling walls as cover, and sometimes crawled, alternating his elbows forward.
After "he" confirmed that the previous four people had really left, "he" suddenly jumped up, rushed to the campfire, and picked up the metal-cast empty can shells.
"He" was draped in black linen, carrying a rifle, about 1.6 meters tall, with no skin or flesh on his face, only silver-black metal.
There were many cracks on the metal surface, vaguely revealing the differently colored lines and components below.
One of "his" eyes was flashing red, and the other had already "gone out." His hands were like skeletons, purely made of silver-black metal.
This is a smart robot.
"Found it, found it..." It made a monotonous sound without undulation, hugged the empty can shells, and ran back behind the ruins.
After seven turns and eight turns, it got into a hole separated by randomly piled steel bars and concrete.
In the hole was a boy wrapped in a worn-out cotton-padded jacket and surrounded by animal fur.
This child was only twelve or thirteen years old, with a dirty face and fingernails full of black mud. Next to him was a dilapidated tricycle full of various sundries and garbage.
He took the empty can shells and showed an undisguised smile.
Then, he divided the empty can shells into three groups and put them into different piles of debris, while smiling at the intelligent robot:
"Xiao Qi, this is almost full, you can exchange it for a new eye.
"We still have to save up here. Winter is coming soon. We need to exchange a lot of food and coal, and your battery.
"I'll replace this when we get back..."
Saying that, the boy scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly:
"There's not much to eat left.
"I've been eating a little too much lately..."
Xiao Qi nodded vigorously, still with that unchanging tone:
"Well arranged."
"Get in the car quickly, let's go back to the settlement." The boy sat in the driver's seat of the tricycle.
Amidst the beeping sounds, he drove the tricycle on the narrow, bumpy ruins and plants that could hardly be called a road, heading into the distance.
While driving, he said to the intelligent robot behind him:
"Xiao Qi, tell me, after winter, will mom and dad come back?"
…………
The jeep kept a slow speed, moving forward on the Black Swamp Wilderness.
Close to noon, Bai Chen, who was driving, frowned suddenly after turning a corner:
"There are a group of people ahead..."
Before Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Long Yuehong could respond, she added in a deep voice:
"They saw us."
