Embers Ad Infinitum

The answers to all questions lie in the new world... Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and others all repeated this sentence silently.

And their exchange with Viel made the Ark people present completely believe that this action to overthrow the tyranny of Dimarco did come from instructions from the gods!

After a brief silence, Shang Jianyao, who was wearing a monkey mask, suddenly looked at Vier and asked:

"Do you have the awakened ability of 'Extreme Fear'?"

Jiang Baimian then asked:

"Did you kill Herwig?"

She remembered that when the Vigilant Sect held a hiding ceremony, Vier also disappeared for a few days, and Hervig died of fright during this period!

It was originally difficult to consider these two things together. After all, Viel was young and had no grievances with Hervig. Moreover, it was only thought that he had a secret and did not show any connection with the awakened person.

And now, Viel's words just now clearly revealed that he has the ability of "extreme fear".

Herwig died under the influence of this ability!

Vier responded nonchalantly:

"Who told him to always laugh at me for being short?

"He should have died a long time ago. Most people here want him dead, including his wife."

Kill someone because you were teased for being short? Overly sensitive? Jiang Baimian said a few words to himself with some understanding.

At this time, Shang Jianyao laughed, stared at Vier, and took two steps forward.

Vier was startled and instinctively backed away:

"What do you want to do?"

"Guess." Shang Jianyao pressed the lively monkey mask on his face.

Vier could imagine the widened mouth and smile under his mask, and said hurriedly:

“You, do you want to help Herwig take revenge?

"He is a devil. If I kill him, most people in Hongshiji will only applaud me!"

Shang Jianyao didn't respond. He wore the monkey mask and took two more steps forward.

Vier's expression changed several times and he said sternly:

"If you come here again, I'm going to use 'Extreme Fear'!"

Shang Jianyao laughed, pointed at Gnawa next to him and said:

"Seeing or not, he will not be afraid.

"I also prepared Fecal injections so that I won't be scared to death so easily."

Vier's eyes swept across the silver-black intelligent robot Gnawa and blurted out:

"I, I am a reserve angel!"

His back was slightly arched, as if he was ready to attack at any time.

At this moment, Shang Jianyao laughed and said:

"What's going on here?

"Don't be nervous. I'm not the Sheriff of Hongshiji. I'm not qualified to judge you."

As he spoke, he took off his tactical backpack and took out his beloved small speaker:

"I would just drive the car around the Red Rocks and have it repeat, 'It was Vières who killed Herwig' and 'It was Vières who killed Herwig'."

Vier was speechless for a while, and then he said bitterly after a long time:

"up to you!"

While speaking, he turned around, ran a few steps quickly, jumped up, climbed to the ceiling, and disappeared into the ventilation duct.

Shang Jianyao watched him leave, turned around and walked back to Jiang Baimian and others.

"You said all this just to tease him?" Jiang Baimian touched his metal cochlea, "Why bother? This guy is very vindictive."

Shang Jianyao replied proudly:

"It's fun to bully such a dangerous kid."

Just as Jiang Baimian was about to roll his eyes, he saw a large number of servants rushing over.

Their expressions were filled with anxiety and uneasiness, but their eyes seemed rather numb.

After slowly scanning Dimarco's body wearing a black mask with white stripes, their eyes gradually began to glow.

…………

A few days later.

To the northwest of Hongshiji, in a field near the lake.

"From today on, this area belongs to you." Yu Tian, ​​who has been transformed into a member of the "Underground Ark" management committee, pointed forward and said to the two sisters Ge Lin and Ge Miao, "We will organize manpower to clear the ditch here, and work with you Do all kinds of work to clear up waste, but after that, it's mainly up to you.

"Don't worry, the seeds will be distributed for free in the first year. You can also apply to borrow various machinery from Hongshiji or the church. The corresponding costs will be subsidized by the share of the annual smuggling business. Therefore, except for the first year, you will have to borrow various machinery every year thereafter. Hand over part of the harvest so that those members responsible for the smuggling business and the guards of the Ark can have food to eat..."

"Okay, okay!" Ge Lin and Ge Miao looked at each other and responded with surprise.

For them, who come from small settlements, the value of available land is obvious.

After obtaining the corresponding land deeds, the two sisters returned to the Vigilance Sect, faced the "Yugu" holy symbol, and prayed sincerely and sincerely.

They did not choose to live in the ark because they were not used to living underground and were still afraid.

They planned to live on the ground floor of the Vigilance Church until spring, then find an abandoned house near their fields that was still intact and easy to hide in, tidied it up, and hired someone to repair and wire it.

——With the mediation of the Vigilance Sect, the people in Hongshiji reluctantly recognized the existence of the "Underground Ark" management committee, allowing them to use uninhabited buildings and reclaim currently abandoned farmland. Of course, the "Underground Ark" also paid At a certain price, a lot of smuggling business was given up.

After returning to the assigned temporary housing, Ge Lin, who had been busy for a day, picked up a worn towel and said to Ge Miao:

"Go wash your face first."

"No, let me lie down for a while. I'm so tired today." Ge Miao lay on the bed and acted coquettishly.

Ge Lin didn't know how long it had been since she saw her sister like this, and was reminded of the past, so she smiled slightly and said:

"Then you can go after I come back."

She walked briskly to the nearest bathroom and washed her face and hands with cold water.

After doing all this, while walking back, Ge Lin suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the front.

She was a little confused at first, then her heart tightened, and she hurried to her and her sister's room.

Soon, she saw several people gathered outside the familiar door, and inside the door was her hunched-back sister.

Ge Miao's eyes were cloudy and bloodshot, and there was clear saliva left at the corner of her mouth.

Her face was twisted, no longer as sweet as it was a few minutes ago.

Ge Lin suddenly felt that the whole world was separated from reality and became extremely unreal.

"No worries"...

Miao Miao suffered from "unintentional disease"...

Ge Lin stared at the door blankly, not daring to get close and not wanting to believe it.

boom!

There was a gunshot, and Ge Miao fell down, surrounded by slowly soaking blood.

Her eyes were wide open and still bloodshot.

Ge Lin staggered over, squatted down, and stretched her hand towards her sister's eyes.

Her vision had long been blurred, but no sound came out of her throat.

Someone approached her and bent down to comfort her:

"This is an 'unintentional illness', something no one would have imagined..."

"Don't be too sad. You just divided the land. You will have your own family and children in the future. Everything will be fine..."

…………

In the Mercedes-Benz Jeep, Jiang Baimian glanced at Bai Chen in the passenger seat and sighed again:

"Our previous understanding of the Awakened was too shallow. We didn't expect Dimarco to have such an ability that is almost mythical..."

"Destiny Pass", "Divine Mirror Pass" and "Six Senses Deprivation" are completely beyond the norm.

If the initial "decapitation operation" of the "Old Tune Team" had not been carried out smoothly and destroyed Di Marco's previous body, the subsequent development would have been very dangerous. We could only rely on Gnava and Ye Mingzhu to try to support "Yugu". "Viel, the reserve god, joins the battle.

And even if their first step was a great success, the confrontation between the "Old Tune Team" and Di Marco would still be full of dangers. Fortunately, they had mastered the information in advance and figured out Di Marco's weaknesses in a blink of an eye, and negotiated Jian Yao is special enough to take advantage of this.

"So this action is too reckless..." Long Yuehong in the back row couldn't help but say.

"You can't say that." Jiang Baimian said after considering it, "This time I have been fully prepared, and I have received the blessing of 'Yougu'. If I don't try this time, I will encounter awakened people with similar abilities in the future." , I’m afraid we don’t even know how he died, but now at least we understand what happened.”

As she spoke, she laughed:

"There are also many other gains, including twenty-two high-performance batteries, an 'M-45' military exoskeleton device, and a night pearl that has solidified Dimarco's aura."

There are more than this high-performance batteries in the "Underground Ark", but considering the defense needs of the Management Committee, Jiang Baimian did not take them all.

And these batteries are currently staying with Gnawa in the Red Stone Collection for the time being - as a person who has been the mayor of Tarnan, he has become the interim president of the "Underground Ark" Management Committee, and will wait until things are back on track there. , will go to the "Afu Gun Shop" in Weedao City to meet up with Shang Jianyao and others.

Considering that he was still wanted by the "Mechanical Paradise", Gnawa lived in the Ark and basically did not appear in the Red Stone Collection except for communicating with the Vigilance Sect.

If there is any disturbance, he will escape through the iron mountain entrance of the Ark.

As for the new military exoskeleton device "M-45", it was the residents of Ark who wanted to give it to the "Old Tune Team" as a thank you gift. Based on the actual situation of the "old tune group", Jiang Baimian could not refuse.

In this way, Bai Chen's combat ability will be greatly enhanced.

As for the luminous pearl that changed color, after Shang Jianyao's experiment, it was confirmed that it was Di Marco's "Fate Link" that was solidified. Of course, it was definitely much weaker than the original.

After talking about the harvest, Jiang Baimian, who was driving, looked at Bai Chen and said with a smile:

"Only you are injured this time.

"Actually, I've always been a little surprised. Xiaobai, who is usually the most prudent and self-protective, not only didn't oppose the 'decapitation operation' this time, but he also acted a little proactively."

Bai Chen, who was in the passenger seat, looked at the windshield, was silent for a while and said:

"I have always firmly believed that in such a dusty world, it is already difficult for everyone to survive, and you should not care about other people's affairs.

"That's what I told myself when I was captured by Eugene and became a slave."

She paused for two seconds, and her eyes gradually became empty:

"But, I still can't help but think about how great it would be if someone or a team suddenly came and rescued me..."

"It's very good." Jiang Baimian understood completely and didn't mention it further.

Shang Jianyao smiled and said:

"So, are you going to officially join the action to save all mankind this time?"

Bai Chen ignored him.

During the chat, Shang Jianyao pinched his temples, leaned back and closed his eyes.

In the "Sea of ​​Origin", on the sunny island with mountains, water and water.

A huge pothole appeared near the beach, which was shocking.

Shang Jianyao stared at the hole that had not recovered due to his departure, with a smile on his face.

He then differentiated into more parts of himself, dug ditches, and directed the spring water to this hole.

While Shang Jianyao was "catching up on his sleep," Long Yuehong listened to the chat between the team leader and Bai Chen, interjecting a few words from time to time while looking out the window.

At this time, the sky was light blue and clear, dotted with clouds, and the Jeep was running through the wilderness and hills, returning to the "Pangaea Creature" in the distance.

Along the way, there is fresh green everywhere, and wild animals are looming.

Winter is over and spring is coming.
