The man with a pistol pointed at his forehead by Shang Jianyao seemed to be a hybrid of the Ashlands and Red River races, with black hair, brown eyes, a high nose bridge, and somewhat deep-set eye sockets.

He wore ash-gray clothes, very similar to the surrounding environment, as if he could blend in at any time.

Hearing Shang Jianyao's question, he was slightly annoyed and emphasized:

"This world is very dangerous. Even the once-powerful human civilization couldn't resist it, let alone us now?

"If we can't be vigilant at all times and know how to hide ourselves, we would have been destroyed long ago."

Jiang Baimian had already walked over and stopped Shang Jianyao from getting to the bottom of things, and instead asked:

"Are you from Redstone Town?"

"Yes." The man first gave an affirmative answer, and then said, "But please don't blindly trust, maintain enough vigilance."

Jiang Baimian, who was hearing this for the first time, felt a little amused and nodded slightly:

"We have always been vigilant.

"By the way, where is Redstone Town?"

"Somewhere in these ruins." The man looked towards the hall area of the building, "Now that I have been found by you and failed to hide successfully, I will take you there."

"Okay, what's your name?" Jiang Baimian was also bold because of her skill.

"My name is Gaudi." The man said casually, "This may also be a fake name, please don't blindly believe it."

Shang Jianyao next to him listened with excitement, as if he had learned another trick.

He retracted "Ice Moss" and said seriously:

"Lead the way, when we arrive at Redstone Town, I guarantee your freedom.

"This may be a lie, please don't blindly believe it."

Gaudi nodded in considerable agreement and took a few steps towards the hall:

"Distance is our best friend."

After leaving the building, Shang Jianyao had him get into the jeep and sit in the middle of the back row to guide the way.

This time, Bai Chen was driving.

During the drive, Jiang Baimian asked casually:

"What sect do you believe in?"

"The Vigilance Sect." Gaudi replied in fluent Ashlander, "But you..."

"Stop! We've already remembered it." Jiang Baimian interrupted the repetition and asked with a smile, "Which Arbiter does this faith belong to, and what is the doctrine like? We are a bit interested."

"What is the Eucharist?" Shang Jianyao on the other side added a question.

Gaudi's expression became quite devout:

"We believe in the October Arbiter, 'Phantom Hag'.

"Before the destruction of the Old World, He was already widely worshiped in some local areas.

"The reason we are called the Vigilance Sect is because Phantom Hag told us that the world is dangerous, and vigilance is everyone's most important instinct. People without vigilance are unlikely to survive the various disasters after the destruction of the Old World and wait for the New World to arrive.

"Vigilance is God's reminder."

Speaking of this, Gaudi raised his hands and crossed them in front of his chest, posing in a very defensive posture.

"And then?" Shang Jianyao urged.

Gaudi turned his head to look at him:

"We don't have the Eucharist. Do you dare to drink water and eat food that you didn't prepare yourself?

"When we participate in Mass and other ceremonies, we bring our own boiled water and homemade dishes."

"Indeed vigilant." Jiang Baimian commented and glanced at Shang Jianyao with a bit of schadenfreude.

Shang Jianyao sighed regretfully:

"We have no affinity."

While Gaudi was at a loss, Jiang Baimian raised another question:

"Are all the people in your Redstone Town members of the Vigilance Sect?"

"Almost, only a few aren't, and also, outsiders like you aren't." Gaudi said quite proudly, "Since the establishment of Redstone Town, it has often been attacked, each time bringing many casualties. At that time, people from many sects came to preach, and everyone's beliefs were very mixed, but gradually, we found that the Vigilance Sect's doctrines and concepts were the most effective, and 'Phantom Hag' was the most compassionate Arbiter. After that, everyone spontaneously joined the Vigilance Sect, and the number of times it was attacked decreased significantly, and the number of deaths and injuries was the same."

It is possible that after the initial restoration of order in the Ashlands and the stabilization of the situation, "United Industries" needed such a smuggling node to complete certain things that were inconvenient to do openly... Jiang Baimian found another explanation in her heart.

But in unfamiliar territory, she couldn't refute Gaudi with this.

She wasn't Shang Jianyao.

According to Gaudi's "direction", the jeep bypassed a severely damaged block and entered an open area with many evergreen trees.

"This is a park from the Old World?" Jiang Baimian guessed based on her knowledge.

"Almost, that's what we think." Gaudi wanted to add a common phrase, but the front had reached an intersection.

He had to start "directing":

"Right, to the end."

Soon, Bai Chen drove the jeep to a small hill.

There was a large cave here, with an entrance that could accommodate four cars entering and exiting.

The road leading to the underground was well preserved and the surface was very neat.

"Redstone Town is underground..." Long Yuehong suddenly realized.

He was familiar with this.

As soon as he finished speaking, gun barrels protruded from the holes in the cliff walls on both sides of the cave entrance, and there seemed to be artillery aiming outward inside the cave.

"I'll go down and say hello." Gaudi said.

Jiang Baimian instructed Bai Chen to back the jeep away a certain distance, away from the possible firing trajectory of the artillery, and then opened the door to let Gaudi get out of the car.

"Not bad, very vigilant." Gaudi praised.

He took a few steps forward, waved his hand, and the stretched-out gun barrels and turned-over artillery were withdrawn.

Only then did Bai Chen drive the jeep, pick him up, and enter the cave, winding down along the damp road.

Before long, they saw the parking lot.

"Find a place to park closest to Redstone Town." Jiang Baimian looked around, memorizing the terrain.

"Everyone parks there." Gaudi said that the people of the Vigilance Sect thought the same way.

They were always ready to rush out of Redstone Town and drive away.

"Great minds think alike." Jiang Baimian replied with a smile, "Then let's find an empty space nearby."

After some searching, they parked the car, passed through two wooden doors in a row, and saw the appearance of Redstone Town.

Here, it seemed to be a replica of the layout of certain buildings outside, just moved underground.

The bottom was a plaza, which could be seen directly from the top floor where the "Old Tune Group" was located.

Around the plaza were circles of ascending floors, connected by escalators in visible places.

These floors were brightly lit and separated into shops, some with signs reading "Arms Trade" and others with "Offices of the Sea Oil Company Resident in Redstone Town."

At a glance, Long Yuehong found that almost everything was sold here, and it was more naked than the underground market in Weed City.

The only problem was that these shops didn't display any samples, only some tables, chairs, and counters, and there was no one inside!

"To trade in Redstone Town, you must first find the hidden boss." Gaudi introduced as he took out a cloth mask from his pocket, unfolded it, and put it on his face.

This made him look quite "ferocious".

"Interesting." Shang Jianyao's eyes were extraordinarily bright.

Before Jiang Baimian could stop him, he ran to the nearest shop--"Golden River Tea".

Then, he knocked on the wooden counter at the door a few times.

"You lost!" After saying that, he ran back to Jiang Baimian's side.

After a few seconds, the door of the wooden counter slowly opened, and a middle-aged man with a height of no more than 1.6 meters came out.

He touched the black beard on his chin and looked around the shop blankly, not finding the person who had found him.

"This is the custom of Redstone Town?" Jiang Baimian smiled and withdrew her gaze, and said to Gaudi, "Take us to the Hunter's Guild here first."

"It's on the bottom floor." Gaudi took the lead and walked to the escalator next to him.

As the escalator slowly descended, Jiang Baimian asked thoughtfully:

"What do you use here to generate electricity?"

"Diesel generators, solar charging panels, hydroelectric generators, these are all in use." Gaudi replied casually.

At this time, Shang Jianyao interjected and asked:

"What is your Mass like? Is it about who can hide better?"

He looked excited.

Gaudi nodded:

"This is one of the ways.

"In the previous Mass, I was the tenth to last to be found."

So it really is a hide-and-seek cult... Jiang Baimian slandered in her heart.

Shang Jianyao then asked:

"Then who was first?"

"Vier." Gaudi said with great admiration, "He still hasn't been found."

"...When did you hold this Mass?" Jiang Baimian paused.

Gaudi replied somewhat puzzled:

"Just three days ago."

"That's good..." Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, she would have thought that Vier was gone.

As a researcher who had read many books from the Old World, she couldn't help but think of some more evil rituals, such as everyone having to try to make themselves not found, and the one who lasted to the end would receive the Arbiter's favor and directly enter the new world.

This was equivalent to indirect human sacrifice.

Inside the empty underground building where almost no one came and went, they seemed to be the only remaining creatures, but when they came to the bottom floor and saw the sign of the "Hunter's Guild", they still found other people.

This "Hunter's Guild" was not big, not even one-tenth the size of its counterpart in Weed City.

It didn't have many technological products, only a large screen and a row of service windows.

The clerks behind the windows all wore different masks, some were rabbits, some were clowns, some were tigers, and some were paper bags with holes.

"There's no way, the Hunter's Guild doesn't allow clerks to hide, so everyone can only wear masks to hide their true appearance." Gaudi introduced.

Jiang Baimian sincerely praised:

"Very good."

Although it was relatively easy for her and Shang Jianyao to find people, who would want to add trouble to themselves?

Unless they were having a lot of fun.

They quickly entered the Hunter's Guild and came to one of the windows.

The clerk wearing a tiger mask immediately said:

"The tasks are all displayed on the screen, and the records on the table are also complete.

"If you can't read, you can find the 'Guides'. They are hiding somewhere nearby."
