Hearing Jiang Baimian's words, Long Yuehong suddenly felt a little scared and quickly asked:
"Who's it from?"
Besides the company and Genaeva, who else would send a telegram to the "Old Task Force"?
Jiang Baimian held the paper and smiled:
"Leiman.
"Leiman, the arms dealer from 'United Industries'."
"Lars' lover?" Long Yuehong asked with some understanding.
Compared to Leiman, Lars, whose body was occupied by Dimarco, impressed him more.
"Yes, also a pitiful person." Jiang Baimian sighed, "But that doesn't stop him from being a profiteer at the same time. He said he got an 'AC-45' military exoskeleton device and a T1 multifunctional mechanical arm and asked if we wanted them."
"Yes!" Shang Jianyao answered impatiently.
As he spoke, he raised his left hand.
Long Yuehong even considered a trivial matter at that moment:
"If we get another military exoskeleton device, it won't fit in the car."
In order to fit the current two military exoskeleton devices into the jeep's trunk, they had already transferred some of the food to the back seat.
Of course, as the journey lengthened and resources were consumed, the jeep's back seat space was finally freed up, allowing Genaeva to squeeze in.
"We'll get another car then. Is a car rare, or are military exoskeleton devices rare?" Jiang Baimian asked a question that went straight to the soul.
"That's true." Long Yuehong's mind finally got around that bend.
Bai Chen echoed:
"If it really doesn't work, let Genaeva hold on while sitting."
Intelligent robots wouldn't feel tired or uncomfortable as a result.
Jiang Baimian "heh"ed and looked at Bai Chen:
"I thought you'd feel sorry for the robot."
She remembered that Bai Chen had said that she used to have a robot she depended on.
"Everyone should do what they are supposed to do." Bai Chen replied simply.
Jiang Baimian didn't say anything more, drafted a document, translated it into Morse code, and sent a telegram back to Leiman.
After finishing, she turned her head to Shang Jianyao and others and said:
"I asked him to bring those two things to Initial City to trade.
"If his feedback is that he can't do it, then let him go to Redstone Town in four or five months, hoping that we will have completed the main mission of this trip by then."
With the "Old Task Force" already possessing two military exoskeleton devices, this matter was not urgent.
Soon, Leiman replied with a telegram.
The content was very simple:
"Okay, contact you again in two weeks."
Jiang Baimian translated it and said casually:
"It seems he also has connections in 'Initial City'."
"'Initial City' is south of 'United Industries'." Bai Chen pointed out calmly.
Seeing that this matter was progressing smoothly, Long Yuehong couldn't help but imagine the complete form of the "Old Task Force":
Three military exoskeleton devices, an electric eel bionic limb, a T1 multifunctional mechanical arm, an Awakened with a maximum range of thirty meters, an intelligent robot produced by "Mechanical Paradise", and a luminous pearl that can provide strange abilities. All of this together can be said to be over-spec.
Many Pangu Biology action teams haven't fought such a wealthy battle!
Although this is not very strong on the front lines between major forces, as a special team, it can really complete many difficult tasks.
Thinking of this, Long Yuehong suddenly discovered a problem:
"What are we going to trade with?"
Leiman provides the channel for goods, not the goods themselves.
"We helped him bury Lars." Shang Jianyao seemed to think this was very meaningful to Leiman.
Jiang Baimian said with a smile:
"Isn't there still some time? We can complete the Zhao family's mission first, get a generous reward, and try to raise funds from other places in the meantime.
"If it really doesn't work, just inform the company and let them arrange for the intelligence officers in Initial City to provide supplies. I don't believe the company doesn't want them!"
At that time, although the "Old Task Force" won't get the items, they can at least accumulate contribution points, so it won't be a complete waste of time.
Looking at the leader's smiling face, Long Yuehong suddenly realized:
It's best not to provoke this woman in this lifetime.
Jiang Baimian waited for a while and, seeing that no new telegrams had come in, stood up and said:
"Okay, hurry up and take a shower."
"I'll go boil water." Bai Chen walked towards the door.
They had missed the time when there was hot water in the kitchen's wall, so they had to pump the water up themselves and boil it with electricity.
Fortunately, it is spring now, the water volume is relatively abundant, and the power supply in Wild Grass City is not so tight, and the power will not be cut off until 10 pm.
While waiting for the water to boil, Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao, who was looking out the window:
"What are you thinking about?"
"I'm wondering if I should go see my good brother Xu Liyan." Shang Jianyao said truthfully.
Jiang Baimian chuckled:
"Zhao Zhengqi made such a scene in the evening, how could Xu Liyan not know that we have returned to Wild Grass City?
"If he wants to catch up with you, he will naturally send someone to invite us tomorrow."
If he doesn't want to, he will pretend not to know.
-- Shang Jianyao's "Reasoning Clown" effect was completely lifted around the Spring Festival.
Shang Jianyao nodded and sighed again:
"I also didn't see my brother in arms, Fei Lin, this time."
After the beginning of spring, the "Rootless Ones" embarked on a journey without end again, leaving only car tracks recording that they had been here.
While speaking, Bai Chen boiled the water and adjusted the temperature.
As a worker, she enjoyed the privilege of taking the first shower.
Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Long Yuehong moved the chat to outside the bathroom.
Not long after, Bai Chen came out, and Jiang Baimian went in.
At this moment, the wooden door of a nearby room opened, and a thin, dark, middle-aged man walked out.
He was less than 1.7 meters tall, around thirty years old, wearing a long-sleeved black T-shirt with mended traces and dark blue canvas pants with many patches.
Glancing at Shang Jianyao and others, the man pointed to the bathroom:
"Someone is showering?"
"You have to wait in line." Shang Jianyao pointed to himself and Long Yuehong.
"I thought I could avoid the peak period and wouldn't have to wait." The man sighed and asked familiarly, "Are you new residents? I don't think I've seen you before."
Without Jiang Baimian suppressing him, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen couldn't compete with Shang Jianyao and could only listen to him laughing:
"Do you believe that if I just shout, a dozen or twenty neighbors will come out to chat with us?"
This is a friendship forged in battle... Long Yuehong added in his heart for Shang Jianyao.
The man apologized and smiled:
"I just moved in a few days ago, maybe you were out."
"Are you a relic hunter from the Black Swamp Wilderness?" Bai Chen asked.
She made this judgment based on the other party's Ashlands accent.
The man nodded:
"Passing through Wild Grass City, taking a break.
"By the way, what's your name? Are you relic hunters too?"
"Zhang Qubing." Shang Jianyao solemnly introduced his alias.
"Qian Bai." "Gu Zhiyong." Bai Chen and Long Yuehong also replied.
The man pointed to himself with a smile:
"Wang Fugui, a 'senior hunter'."
Bai Chen, Shang Jianyao, and Long Yuehong also casually reported their ranks.
One "intermediate hunter" and two "official hunters".
Wang Fugui didn't show the slightest contempt and said while chatting:
"There's a big mission recently that can earn a lot of credit points."
"What mission?" Shang Jianyao was very curious.
"A legendary white wolf has appeared in the mountains on the north bank of the Red River. Anyone who encounters it will marvel at its beauty, be captivated by its charm, follow it away, and never return. A noble in 'Initial City' seems to be fascinated by it and has offered a reward at the guild to catch it." Wang Fugui described the content of the mission he saw.
"Is that so?" Shang Jianyao listened very carefully.
Long Yuehong and Bai Chen associated it with a certain event and a certain person.
Wang Fugui laughed:
"That's what the mission says, I don't know if it's true, I can only trust the guild.
"Anyway, I'll set off for 'Initial City' in a few days and enter the mountains from that side.
"To be honest, I'm also curious, how much charm can a wolf have?"
At this time, Jiang Baimian came out of the bathroom, wiping her hair.
"Who is this?" She glanced at Wang Fugui.
Wang Fugui suddenly became serious:
"A 'senior hunter' borrowing a place here, Wang Fugui."
"What did you guys talk about?" Jiang Baimian asked with a smile, seemingly casually.
Bai Chen repeated the key points of the conversation just now.
Jiang Baimian kept her smile unchanged and said to Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong:
"Who wants to shower first?"
"Me!" Shang Jianyao抢在了前面 (抢在了前面, cannot be translated literally, closest English meaning is: beat them to it)
"Then we'll go back to the room first." Jiang Baimian winked at Long Yuehong and Bai Chen.
Watching them walk towards the end of the corridor, Wang Fugui touched his chin and muttered to himself silently:
"Genetically optimized?"
Back in the room, Jiang Baimian closed the door and turned to Long Yuehong and Bai Chen:
"What did you think of?"
Long Yuehong replied in a deep voice:
"Qiao Chu!
"The situation of that wolf is very similar to Qiao Chu."
ps: I have to go out for a few days recently, I have something to do, I will try my best to keep updating, but the number of words per chapter will be a little less, if it really doesn't work, I will take a leave of absence for two half days at most, everyone just think that I am enjoying the weekend rest for one day in advance. I originally planned to wait until my child was born in June before entering this process. .
