The system invites me to be the boss

Chapter 45 The Wind Rises

After eating a sumptuous roasted rabbit, Jian Rui was wrapped in a blanket and sat by the fire, beside Zhou Xinyao who was also wrapped in a blanket.

They only had one tent, and five people were stuffed in it, so crowded that even turning over was a luxury, so Zhou Xinyao offered to sit outside.

She fiddled with the red charcoal lightly with a wooden stick, her face was a little more serene than the smile that could be seen anytime during the day.

People in Lubian are like the moon, and their arms are frosty and snowy.

It may be the description of the scene in front of me.

"Captain," Zhou Xinyao said softly suddenly, "We've only gone so far today, so it may be difficult to reach our destination on time."

It's not an estimate, it's absolutely impossible.

But Jian Rui still smiled and said, "Do your best."

"We are the ones who have troubled you," Zhou Xinyao said, "If you are assigned to another team, or go alone, you will definitely be able to complete it."

"We are a small team, that is, a team," Jian Rui said with a serious face. Anyone who saw it looked like a standard good person. "Don't worry, even if it takes a month, I won't leave you alone."

Zhou Xinyao looked at him, suddenly a little inexplicably moved.

After a day of understanding, she found that Jian Rui is very capable and has a good personality.

"Captain, why did you accept Beijing University's special offer?"

Jian Rui's heart skipped a beat.

This problem seems ordinary, but when you think about it carefully, it is not normal.

For an ordinary student, accepting special recruitment from Beijing University is a matter of course, do you need any reason?

"No particular reason," he replied, "and you, what are you for?"

"I am for my parents."

"Did they send you here?"

Zhou Xinyao shook her head and said, "No, they passed away a few years ago."

Jian Rui: "Sorry, sorry."

"It's okay, I'm not that vulnerable."

Although she said these words with a smile, Jian Rui still saw faint tears flickering in her eyes.

"They are also members of Tianqin Group, and they are usually very busy at work," Zhou Xinyao murmured as if lost in memory, "From the time I was sensible to the ten years since their death, we have never been able to eat together. A few meals."

Are you so busy working in Tianqin Group?
In this way, Jian Rui recalled his previous life. Although he was outside all year round, at least he could go back and visit during the holidays.

"They didn't leave me anything," Zhou Xinyao continued, "only a necklace and a sentence."

Jian Rui asked softly: "They let you go to Beijing University?"

"No," Zhou Xinyao shook her head, "They told me never to go to Beijing University."

Jian Rui understood what her parents thought.

I don't even have time to spend with my children. This kind of work must be very tiring and hard, and it is also very dangerous.

No parent would be willing to let their children do such a job.

Just like Yu Wenzhuo's family, maybe they knew something about the situation and tried their best to stop him.

But Zhou Xinyao came here willfully.

Do what your parents won't let you do.

Childhood.

"Since they won't let you go, why are you here again?"

"Until now, I haven't even seen their ashes, and no one told me how they died," Zhou Xinyao said. "So entering Beijing University may be the only way for me to know the truth."

Jian Rui said: "The truth is often cruel."

"I'm not afraid," Zhou Xinyao shook her head, "I must know what they were doing, what happened to them, and how they died.

"I also want to find their remains."

Seeing his stubborn eyes, Jian Rui didn't know what to say.

Compared to Zhou Xinyao, how lucky is he.

"I'm sorry, I said these things suddenly," Zhou Xinyao said with a sudden smile, "I just suppressed it in my heart for too long. I couldn't control it just now, but now I feel much better."

"fine."

In the warm firelight, Zhou Xinyao, with tears still on her face, fell into a deep sleep.

Jian Rui was also about to take a rest, but before he could close his eyes, the skinny figure of Hip Brother appeared in the darkness behind Zhou Xinyao.

He looked at the dark sky and said after a long time, "The wind is blowing!"

Jian Rui: ...

You ran out in the middle of the night just to show off your presence?

But this line is really handsome, and it has an atmosphere of forcing the king, so he will find a chance to talk about it next time.

call--

Suddenly a gust of wind hit, and the sparks in the fire in front of him were blown away wildly.

Jian Rui sat downwind, with hot ashes thrown onto his face, he quickly jumped up from the ground.

But the oncoming wind became more unscrupulous, and it hurt his face so much that he could barely open his eyes.

It made him scream badly.

The wind is blowing so wildly, I'm afraid it will be difficult tonight!
"What's going on?" Zhou Xinyao was awakened by the wind, she covered her head and asked, "Suddenly there is such a strong wind?"

"I don't know, get into the tent!"

"Okay." Wrapped in a blanket, Zhou Xinyao staggered into the tent, "Captain, why don't you come in too?"

"No, it's too crowded, just take care of yourself."

Jian Rui refused very simply, squeezed into the tent of six girls by himself, he is not a beast.

But the gust of wind on the grassland was endless once it blew, and it almost froze his whole body.

Why is the weather so bad?
……

At a place 500 meters away from Jian Rui, Xiao Liu was also very helpless.

Faced with such a strong wind, even if he is a 2-star awakener, it will be uncomfortable after a long time.

"Captain Liu," the teammate beside him suddenly said, "Captain Li sent a message saying that the people from the Yamaguchi Group will probably take advantage of the strong wind and start taking action."

"Bah, let them come, I'm tired of waiting." Xiao Liu said fiercely, "Last year they arrested 330 people and left, the company paid the boss a lot of supplies, and our noses were scolded. .

"No matter what happens this year, we cannot let them be so rampant again."

Every year in the selection of freshmen, other companies will send people to make trouble. This is already an annual practice, and it is also a form of competition tacitly approved by the Awakened Association.

Among the awakened ones, it is called "the first lesson for new students".

Awakened people from other companies will arrest freshmen in these few days in exchange for resources.

At the same time, it is also a test of each other's strength among various companies.

Of course, the personal safety of new students will be guaranteed.

Rebirth is the future and hope of mankind, wanton harm and obliteration will not only be severely punished by the Awakened Association, but will also attract strong revenge.

Who doesn't have a few newcomers every year, doesn't it?

If you destroy mine today, I will destroy yours tomorrow. No one can afford this price.

At this time, another teammate beside him looked at the distance in surprise and doubt: "Here we come."

"So fast?" Xiao Liu asked, "How many people, what level?"

"The four of them seem to be... 3-star!"

Xiao Liu almost spit it out, the Yamaguchi Group went crazy, right?
Actually dispatched 4 3-stars, and they got together?

"Captain, what should we do?"

Xiao Liu only felt pain in his heart: "What else can I do, at worst, go to the hospital and lie down for half a month, go!"

A little further away, four people in black sportswear appeared.

Xiao Shanzhi stood in the leading position with a smile on his lips.

He has resumed his status as an employee of the Yamaguchi Group, and because he is familiar with the situation of the Tianqin Group, he is leading the "first lesson for freshmen" this time.

Tonight, he will enjoy a grand hunting ceremony in this unrecovered grassland.
