Embers Ad Infinitum

Jiang Baimian's gaze moved to the next piece of news without leaving any trace.

After the newspaper was uploaded through the hands of eight people in the two teams, Gaferin, she asked:

"Did you find any information worth paying attention to?"

——Because there are outsiders around, Gnawa can only act as an ordinary robot.

Fars, a tall man with blond hair and blue eyes, shook his head:

"It's all normal news."

Having said this, he laughed at himself:

"Actually, I am a person who particularly likes to read old newspapers in urban ruins. This allows me to imagine what kind of life people lived in that era and how it was better than now. Sometimes, they make me forget the current situation. The dust makes me feel that life is not so bad.

"Well, there is no obvious difference between this post and the newspapers I have read, both in form and content."

Wang Fugui, Waite and Gray also spoke one after another, saying that they had not found any valuable news from the "Fahr Post".

"But it doesn't seem like Wu Meng was joking with us when he asked Felinton to take away this newspaper." Jiang Baimian said after considering it.

Wang Fugui thought for a while and said:

“Maybe it’s because we don’t know enough.

"Can I copy the contents of the newspaper? Haha, I can ask knowledgeable people when I meet them in the future."

"No problem." Jiang Baimian agreed very readily.

"Do you really want to copy it by hand? I think it would be more convenient to ask someone to borrow a camera and take pictures of each edition and make it into an electronic document." Shang Jianyao pointed to the backpack behind Wang Fugui.

There was an old model computer that was running laggy.

"But no one here has a camera." Wang Fugui said, "Don't I know this saves trouble?"

Shang Jianyao showed a proud smile and pointed at Gnawa:

"Multifunction."

Are you just trying to promote Lao Ge by going around in such a big circle? Jiang Baimian cursed.

With the help of Gnawa, Wang Fugui and Gray obtained the electronic files of the newspaper. Fals, Waite, and Felinton did not have computers, and they did not think that there was any valuable information in the newspaper, so they only transcribed it by writing summaries. A few pieces of news.

After watching them leave, Jiang Baimian looked around, put up the newspaper, pointed to the news about the "International Biotechnology Expo" and said:

"Did you see anything?"

Shang Jianyao immediately smiled and said:

"Northern Company."

Shouldn’t the focus be on “genetic research results”? Long Yuehong mumbled something but didn't say it out loud.

Bai Chen nodded:

"It reminds me of a place in the north, a hospital in the north..."

The former is the place where the vegetative person in the medical record of the Black Marsh Wilderness Steel Plant received a new type of treatment, and the latter is the vest of a secret agency where Jiang Xiaoyue participated as a volunteer in an experiment to escape from a coma.

The two are suspected to be the same family.

"The common word is north?" Gnawa tried to analyze Bai Chen's thinking.

"Yes." Jiang Baimian affirmed, "I also have such an association. Unfortunately, this is just a comprehensive newspaper. The report on the 'International Biotechnology Expo' was not detailed enough and did not explain what the results of the Northern Company were displayed. .”

Shang Jianyao smiled:

"This is simple. I remember that each region has a special science newspaper, and the reports on corresponding matters must be more detailed. As long as we return to the ruins of Wasteland No. 13 and search in places like the library, we should be able to There’s enough to gain.”

"This..." Jiang Baimian hesitated and said, "Without knowing Wu Meng's true purpose, I think it's better not to explore there anymore for the time being."

"Yes, yes!" Long Yuehong quickly agreed.

He believed that he had been influenced by Wu Meng when he decided to explore the ruins of Wasteland 13 twice before. Otherwise, how could he have so boldly agreed and joined?

Jiang Baimian turned and smiled:

"We will visit Xiao Chong when we go back and then formulate follow-up plans depending on the situation."

After hesitating for two seconds between meeting friends and taking risks, Shang Jianyao couldn't wait to leave the advanced camp and return to the original city.

At this time, Long Yuehong whispered:

"Why not connect it from genetic research to the company?"

He was referring to the genetic research results displayed by Northern Company, not the technology to awaken vegetative people.

When it comes to genetic research, the first reaction of those more knowledgeable people on the earth is "Pangaea".

Jiang Baimian chuckled:

"The location is not right. The company is very far in the northwest. I really want to connect 'North' and 'Gene' together. What is even more suspicious is the 'White Knights'."

"Yes." Long Yuehong breathed a sigh of relief.

At this point in the discussion, they could no longer continue because they lacked enough clues.

When it got completely dark, the "Old Tune Group" who had had dinner left the main building of the castle and walked to the parking area.

As they moved forward, they suddenly saw a figure falling from the sky and hitting the concrete ground heavily.

boom!

Blood quickly overflowed from the bottom of the man's head, and his body twitched a few times before losing movement.

"Jumped off the building to commit suicide? Or was he thrown down?" Long Yuehong couldn't see clearly because of the distance.

Shang Jianyao walked over immediately, as if he wanted to check whether the other party could be rescued. Jiang Baimian, Gnawa and Bai Chen followed behind.

Long Yuehong was stunned for a second and quickly chased after him.

"Jumped from the hotel window." "It must have been suicide..." The ruin hunters who were watching at that place shared what they saw and their judgments.

After passing them, Long Yuehong's eyes suddenly widened.

The man lying on the ground was not breathing, his blue eyes were wide open, and his blond hair was stained with bright red blood.

Fars!

This is Fars from the lone hunter team!

Explore Fars, the ruins of Wasteland 13, with the "Old Tune Team"!

When the adventure was over and everyone returned safely, he actually chose to jump and fall to his death.

At this moment, all that came to Long Yuehong's mind were the hunters who committed suicide in the ruins of Wasteland No. 13.

Five of them committed suicide by jumping off the building.

Now it's Fals, who will be next... Long Yuehong was horrified for a moment.

The next second, Jiang Baimian said in a deep voice:

"Hey and I are going to find Wang Fugui, Lao Ge, you are going to go to Gray and Felinton, and Xiao Bai and Xiao Hong are going to go to Waite to make sure they are fine. Also, look at each other on the way and don't ignore any strange behavior."

Among them, only the intelligent robot Gnawa, who did not enter the ruins of Wasteland 13, was definitely not affected.

"Okay!" Shang Jianyao responded immediately.

Knock, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, the five people from the "Old Tune Team" divided into three groups, rushed into the main building of the castle, and rushed to the camp hotel on the fourth floor.

…………

boom!

Shang Jianyao directly knocked open Wang Fugui's door.

Wang Fugui, who was facing the east and raised his hands like an eagle spreading its wings, was startled and rolled to the side like a reflex.

Bang bang bang, Shang Jianyao clapped and praised:

"Very experienced."

"What's wrong?" Wang Fugui was surprised and confused.

Although this guy doesn't look normal, it's still quite unusual for him to be so abnormal right now.

"Fars committed suicide by jumping off the building." Jiang Baimian said in a deep voice.

Wang Fugui's eyelids twitched and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Where are the others?" he blurted out.

"It's not confirmed yet." Jiang Baimian was waiting for Gnawa, Bai Chen, and Long Yuehong to report the situation via walkie-talkie.

…………

In another room, Gennava imitated Shang Jianyao and banged open the wooden door.

Inside, Gray was dancing around the stove under the light on the hot summer night.

Feeling the movement, he stopped suddenly, raised his head, and looked at the door.

At the same time, he assumed a dodge forward stance.

He didn't sense human consciousness, so he wasn't ready to fight back.

Then, he saw the robot with red eyes twitching its hands and feet and dancing.

"..." Gray was dumbfounded.

After Gnawa finished dancing a simple dance, he explained:

"Hey, politeness means equality."

"Yes, what's the matter?" Gray looked confused.

Gennava replied in a slightly synthesized baritone:

"Fars committed suicide by jumping off the building."

"What?" Gray was horrified.

…………

The fruitful entrance to Waite's room.

While Long Yuehong hesitated, Bai Chen raised his right foot and kicked it hard towards the lock.

With a banging sound, the door bounced back.

What caught Long Yuehong's eyes was a bright red. Waite was lying in a pool of blood, his face was extremely pale, and he was already in a dying state.

There was a dagger stuck in his chest. Judging from the oblique angle, he should have done it with his right hand.

He also committed suicide.

Long Yuehong felt a chill rising from the bottom of her heart, but she instinctively rushed over and checked Waite's injuries out of habit. Bai Chen looked around and picked up the walkie-talkie.

At this time, Waite seemed to see Long Yuehong and opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

He moved his right hand with distracted eyes and pointed to a place to the side.

It was the table that came with the hotel room, with a piece of paper pressed down with a ballpoint pen on it.
