Chapter 808 Whose Problem Is It?

"Stop!"

The voices shouted by the villagers guarding the bridge through loudspeakers can be heard clearly in the public office.

Shang Jianyao was excited for a moment. He came to the window and said to himself:

"If we don't stop, will there be a fight?"

"Can't you think of something good?" Jiang Baimian also came to the window.

"I will be useful in a fight." Shang Jianyao said with longing, "Mediate and persuade, so that both parties can eventually become friends."

You can make both parties friends without starting a fight. Why do you have to go around in such a big circle? Long Yuehong couldn't understand Shang Jianyao's thinking at all, but she didn't question it.

As if aware of his thoughts, Shang Jianyao looked at the bridge across the mountain stream and sighed:

“It seems like I can’t fight anymore…

"That way I have no reason to get involved."

The team with relatively shabby vehicles stopped on the other side of the bridge, adhering to the rules.

"Hey, are you doing this famous thing now?" Jiang Baimian responded in a funny way.

The logic is quite strict... Long Yuehong muttered in her heart.

At this time, the villagers guarding the bridge used a loudspeaker to ask:

"Where are you from and what are you doing here?"

From the passenger seat of the car at the front of the queue, a man wrapped in a fur coat stretched out his upper body and responded loudly:

"Come from the north, trade something."

"North..." Long Yuehong repeated this word.

"The north of Cliff Village belongs to the ice field." The honest Gnawa introduced.

Bai Chen, who was also staring at the bridge area, pursed his lips and said:

"They're lying.

"It must still be snowing in the ice field this season. There is a vast expanse of white everywhere, but there are no traces on their car."

The villagers guarding the bridge who are quite familiar with the ice field also raised similar questions:

"Is there no snow in the ice field?"

Shang Jianyao became excited again and whispered:

"If there are awakened people in this convoy, won't Cliff Village be able to stop them and prevent them from crossing the bridge?"

Not all human settlements have awakened people. It can even be said that most of them do not.

When encountering those awakened people who are good at manipulating people's hearts, settlements that lack the corresponding strength will be hard to guard against even if they are armed to the teeth. Like a sealed can, it seems indestructible, but sooner or later someone will peel off the hard part. shell.

According to the observation of the "Old Tune Team", the possibility of having awakened people in Cliff Village is very low.

Of course, this does not include the team of "Panguage Creatures" coming and going.

Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

"As long as you don't encounter an awakened person like you whose ability coverage range exceeds five hundred meters, or who can use electronic products and your own voice to exert influence remotely, Cliff Village still has certain defense capabilities.

"In addition to having people guarding the bridge, there is also a monitoring room on the top floor of the office. There are always two villagers on duty, watching the situation on the other side of the bridge from a distance of three to four hundred meters.

"As soon as they discover something is wrong, they will immediately notify the village chief, activate the device, and blow up the bridge."

Jiang Baimian paused and said:

"Well... this can only guard against those who forcefully break in. If the awakened ones really put down their posture, hide in the dark, and influence the people leaving the village and those guarding the bridge one by one, they will be able to achieve the purpose of invasion sooner or later, but it will be relatively roundabout. few."

As soon as she finished speaking, the man who had previously responded to the bridge guard said loudly:

"We first went to the south to do some trading, which took more than ten days."

This can explain their current situation... Long Yuehong quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Essentially, he doesn't like fighting.

The villagers guarding the bridge seemed to remember the identity of this group of people:

"You guys...

"Go to Shan'ao Town. Someone will look for you later."

People in Cliff Village call the abandoned town used for outsider trade Shan'ao Town.

"Okay!" The people in the convoy didn't hesitate and skillfully disappeared along the mountain road opposite the cliff village.

"He's gone..." Shang Jianyao looked disappointed.

Not long after, Jiang Baimian noticed that four villagers from Cliff Village walked out of the office, got on a black mountain bike, and crossed the bridge towards Shan'ao Town.

Ten minutes later, they returned to the village and entered the government office.

Then, the village chief led them to the warehouse where supplies were stored.

"A deal." Jiang Baimian withdrew his gaze.

This is one of the most common things to happen in Cliff Village in late spring, summer and early fall.

"It's boring." Shang Jianyao shook his head at first, and then said with interest, "What do you think they will trade? Military exoskeleton devices, old world entertainment materials, new world nodes, nuclear warheads?"

When others didn't know how to respond, Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

"Those things can only be traded by a team like us whose mission is to save all mankind."

She was half perfunctory to Shang Jian Yao, and half was telling the truth.

Without the overt and covert struggle of some high-level forces, how could the "old tune team" get the nuclear warhead?

Shang Jianyao was immediately satisfied.

At noon, the village chief knocked on the door of the room where they were currently located.

"I heard someone singing at the top of the stairs." He handed over a few pages with a smile, "Here is the menu, you order, I will order it."

Jiang Baimian took the menu and smiled casually:

"There seems to be a big business in the village?"

"It's okay, okay, they come several times every year." The village chief replied calmly.

Shang Jianyao asked curiously:

"They come from the ice fields?"

"Yes." The village chief nodded, "It's not like every place in the ice field is uninhabitable."

"Yes." Jiang Baimian agreed, "Some areas have special terrain, chaotic environment, and the climate is similar to that in the south. Some areas are rich in geothermal resources and can be well utilized."

However, similar areas are not large. Compared to the entire ice sheet, they are like ordinary islands in the vast ocean.

"That's right, that's right." The village chief agreed, "Their settlement is in the valley. The climate is not bad, the land is very fertile, and they can support a lot of people."

Jiang Baimian said "hmm":

"What's the name of their settlement? I wonder if I've heard of it."

"Sumo City." The village chief did not hide anything.

There is no doubt that he is leaning towards the "Pangu Creatures" side.

These are the people who provide food and clothing for Cliff Village.

Without waiting for several members of the "Old Tune Group" to ask further questions, he lowered his voice and said:

"The strength of Suimo City is quite strong, and there are often awakened people in the teams they send out."

As the leader of a relatively important affiliated force of "Pangu Creatures", the village chief is definitely well-informed.

"Awakened one?" Shang Jianyao looked excited.

The village chief said in a low voice:

"Once, they met a group of robbers. As a result, after just looking at each other and saying a few words, the robbers put down their weapons and let them do whatever they wanted."

"The Last Man" or the "Zhuang Sheng" field? Jiang Baimian showed a thoughtful expression.

Shang Jian Yao smiled and said:

"Then have you been influenced to provide them with free supplies?"

The village chief quickly explained:

"No no.

“After they left, we all reconciled the accounts, more than once, and there was no problem.

"The people in Suimo City are very friendly to us. They probably haven't used their abilities and it's all fair transactions. They may know that there is a big force behind us and don't dare to do anything. Only when there are comings and goings can business continue to be done. Go down."

This made Long Yuehong suddenly have a thought:

"Only those with strength and intelligence can live long in this world..."

After talking about what people in the city mainly exchanged for salt, gasoline, industrial products and other supplies at the end of the year, Jiang Baimian ordered from the menu.

After the experience of last night's meal, they all felt that Cliff Village was quite ordinary, but the barbecue was delicious.

When the village chief went downstairs and headed to the kitchen, Shang Jianyao suddenly laughed:

"The name Sumo City is very interesting."

"Huh?" Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, and Gnawa all looked at this guy.

Shang Jianyao's smile became even brighter:

“The end of the year is the end of the year, and the end of the year is the ‘Commander’, our big boss.”

…………

Tarnan, Youmeng Hotel.

The landlady Aino recently looked at the calendar for the nth time.

She murmured to herself:

"It's been almost a month, why haven't the awakened ones from the Mirage Sect come yet? What I want is the awakened ones from the 'Last Man' realm who can 'hypnotise', not the awakened ones from the 'Broken Mirror' realm who can get lost. , How could it have taken so long?”

It’s not a problem to have nightmares every day!

Finally, Ainuo plucked up the courage, put on the most colorful clothes, went out again, came to Nankeguan, and met Zhou Yue.

She asked politely:

"Zhou Guanzhu, why haven't the awakened ones from your sect learned to 'hypnotize' yet come?"

Zhou Yue looked at this person's dress carefully, opened her eyes wide and said:

"Ms. Aino, didn't you choose to give up and adapt to the nightmare on your own?

"So, I didn't apply to the headquarters."

"I didn't!" Aino blurted out, "I look forward to it every day! At that time, I just comforted myself with 'It's always a dream, why take it seriously' to survive the nightmare for a month."

Zhou Yue, besides being face-blind, your brain is also not very good, right?

"You clearly said at the time to let it go, and no one would die." Zhou Yue responded doubtfully.

Well, it seems that I might have actually said that... Aino thought about it carefully and said:

"But I didn't say I had to give up completely!"

"Forget it, forget it." Zhou Yue was too lazy to argue anymore, opened his arms, raised his body slightly, looked into the void and said, "Everything is a dream, why should we take it seriously?"

Ainuo almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

She always had the feeling that there was a discrepancy between her and Zhou Yue's memories.

Just like asking for help is a fantasy!

Ainuo couldn't help but look behind Zhou Yue.

There is a shrine there, and inside the shrine, a dragon symbol made of broken mirrors reflects the faint light.
