"I'm here to return something from a friend."

Long Yuehong said with a constant smile:

"I ate in the cafeteria."

"Small cafeteria? Where are you assigned?" Feng Yunying asked curiously.

It is not an ordinary department that can have a small canteen.

The entertainment department she works in also has a radio station.

Only then did Long Yuehong realize that she had slipped her mouth, and forced a smile and said:

"Department of Security."

Feng Yunying was taken aback for a moment, then said politely:

"Then you have to be careful."

During the conversation between the two, Shang Jianyao stepped aside, pulled over the stool, and sat next to Mr. Chen Xianyu, the director of the "Activity Center".

"How is it? Which group are you assigned to? Do you want the old man to find an acquaintance to take care of you?" Chen Xianyu looked at the items on the booth in front of him and asked casually.

"Secret." Shang Jian Yao said concisely.

"Heh..." Chen Xianyu turned his head.

He didn't ask any more questions, and patted Shang Jianyao on the shoulder:

"Everything is careful."

At this time, Chen Xianyu's subordinate employees came back from the "employee canteen" with his lunch box.

Shang Jianyao looked at old man Chen holding a lunch box in one hand and flying chopsticks in the other, and suddenly said:

"Grandpa Chen, you said you know everyone on this floor?"

Chen Xianyu replied vaguely:

"Don't dare to say 100%, but at least know 90.00% five or more."

Shang Jianyao was about to consider his words when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

That was the woman surnamed Li whom he saw at No. 35 in Area A early this morning, a follower of the "Life Sacrifice".

"Do you know her?" Shang Jianyao pointed to this beautiful lady.

Chen Xianyu looked up:

"Li Zhen, you should know each other? You were supposed to be neighbors before.

"But you were young at that time, so you may not remember it.

"Hey, she is also a poor person. After she got married, she gave birth to two children, and then she and her husband were transferred to other positions. They were polluted and could no longer have children. And her two children, a few years ago Due to accidents, they all died..."

Shang Jianyao listened to Chen Xianyu's words in silence, but did not speak.

After sitting in the "Activity Center" for a while, he returned to No. 196, Area B. As usual, he lay half-lying on the dim bed and waited for the announcement to sound.

Not long after, the familiar sweet voice echoed on every floor of the "living area" again:

"Hi everyone, I'm Hou Yi, the hourly newscaster, and it's 8 o'clock in the evening...

"...Due to the abnormal climate this year, groups of monsters have begun to migrate on the gray soil...

"... there are traces of the 'monk order' in the wilderness near the company...

"...

"...Diarrheal disease in cattle on pastures within Ecoregion 59 has been resolved...

"...The entertainment department decided to hold a staff basketball game in the activity center on this week's rest day..."

Chapter 13 Ritual sense

Two months passed in a flash.

In the elevator leading to the 647th floor, Long Yuehong, who was wearing a polyester shirt, looked at herself reflected on the metal wall of the elevator, and made a gesture of squeezing her chest muscles:

"This kind of high-intensity training really works. I think I can beat my fresh-graduate self by five, no, three."

And the figure has become quite good, and the temperament has become much more masculine.

Shang Jianyao looked at the crack in the elevator door and said:

"Hey, I'm only 1 meters tall after undergoing genetic modification, and my looks are average, and my grades are average..."

"..." Long Yuehong didn't know what expression to use to respond.

He took a deep breath and exhaled heavily:

"Really, I have been eating meat every day for the past two months, why haven't I grown a centimeter taller?"

While talking, the two stepped out of the elevator and skillfully turned into room 14.

They still don't know what to train this morning, and they can't decide whether to change into the uniform of the security department or wear clothes that are more suitable for fighting, so they can only report to Jiang Baimian first, and then go to the bathhouse locker room.

At this time, both Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen had arrived, gathered around the brown-red desk belonging to the former, watching something seriously.

"Good morning, team leader!" Both Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong were used to shouting.

Jiang Baimian raised his head and waved:

"Come here, I have something to tell you."

Long Yuehong glanced at Shang Jianyao, and found that he didn't seem to know what was going on.

The two walked over and saw Jiang Baimian's brown-red painted desk with a very low-accuracy map spread out.

Jiang Baimian clenched his fist and lightly thumped the map, then said with a smile:

"Today's training program is:

"Training in the wild!"

"Ah?" Long Yuehong exclaimed.

He knew that the field training would come sooner or later, but he never thought that there would be no signs at all, and he would not give himself time to prepare!

Shang Jianyao didn't speak, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Jiang Baimian looked around and said:

"I originally planned to start again in two days, but it just so happened that the higher-ups gave me a small task, and I needed to go to a homeless settlement in the wilderness to deliver water purification device filter chips, so let's start today.

"Bai Chen, tell them about the final destination and the approximate route."

Bai Chen, who was still wearing a dusty scarf, supported the edge of the table with one hand, tapped a certain place on the map with the other and said:

"This is Qifeng Town, about 300 kilometers away from the company. If there is a repaired road, there will be no danger in the middle. We will take turns driving and we can get there within a day. Unfortunately, there is no perfect road in the Black Marsh wilderness. Perhaps, there is a small section of road from the old world in the middle that is not badly preserved, but there are a lot of weeds growing, and the road surface has some cracks, but that is just an example."

Both Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong knew that "Black Marsh Wilderness" referred to the dangerous area outside the company.

It covers a very large area, the northernmost part is connected to the ice field, the northeast is bordered by the "Salvation Army", and the east is the sphere of influence of the "White Knights". If you go southeast for a long time, you will enter the "First City".

To the south, another wilderness and a few mountains.

Bai Chen continued to explain:

"You should have seen that there is a 'big swamp' between us and Qifeng Town, and many places are marked with high-risk symbols. According to my experience, these places either have no roads at all, are pure swamps, or have distortions and terrible Monsters or groups of monsters are entrenched, or there are ruins of the old world, the kind that can't come back once they go.

"Crossing out the heavily polluted areas, we can choose not many routes, and we have to exclude the two commonly used by the company, with outposts, otherwise the purpose of field training will not be achieved.

"Based on the above conditions and the geographical situation of the Great Swamp, I have planned two routes: they both need to be interspersed back and forth in the Great Swamp, and the time spent is similar. It will take a week or even two weeks to reach Qifeng Town, depending on the details. weather conditions.

"Which route do you prefer? Or, want to go around the big swamp from the outside? It will take longer, and the degree of danger is not necessarily much lower.

"Well, I don't know too much about the Great Swamp. I haven't been to many places. You can provide other opinions."

Before Jiang Baimian could speak, Shang Jianyao took a step forward, pointed to one of the routes and said:

"This one is good."

"Why?" Bai Chen subconsciously asked.

Then, she regretted deeply and felt that she should not have asked.

"The lines are smooth and the shape is beautiful." Shang Jian Yao looked sincere.

Bai Chen looked sideways at the team leader, hoping she would "uphold justice".

Jiang Baimian rubbed his chin and said:

"I agree with Shang Jianyao's choice, since there is no essential difference between the two routes, I must choose the better-looking one.

"So happy to decide!"

After finishing speaking, she looked at Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong, pointed to her electronic watch and said:

"You have 15 minutes to prepare."

"Only 15 minutes?" Long Yuehong's face almost wrinkled.

"14 minutes and 55 seconds." Jiang Baimian looked at the electronic watch and responded without raising his head.

Long Yuehong immediately turned around and followed Shang Jianyao's back:

"Hey, wait for me!"

The two quickly entered the dressing room of the nearby bathhouse and opened their own lockers.

Because they sweat profusely from training every day, they put a lot of clothes here for easy replacement.

——In the company, because there is no sunshine and it is very cold at night, employees can’t dry their clothes. The “Training and Security Department” sends people to take them away, clean them, dry them, and send them back (small personal items) You can hang it on the top of your own sink, or put a basin below to catch the falling water droplets).

Shang Jianyao took out a standard camouflage backpack provided by the Ministry of Security, unzipped the zipper, and stuffed one of the uniforms into it.

Then, he put the distributed yellow soap for washing hair and body into a small plastic bag and threw it into his backpack.

After putting away toothpaste, toothbrush, personal accessories and other scattered items, Shang Jianyao quickly took off his clothes and threw them into the cabinet.

Wearing only a pair of underpants, he immediately took out the remaining gray uniform and quickly put it on.

After bending over to fasten the straps of the leather boots, Shang Jianyao straightened his body, walked to the half-length mirror, and straightened his coat.

In the mirror, he has straight eyebrows, bright brown eyes, neat black hair, and a deep and rigid face.

Coupled with the uniform of the Ministry of Security with a sense of design and military temperament, Shang Jianyao looks sunny and powerful.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Shang Jianyao slowly took out a nameplate from his pocket and put it on his left chest.

The nameplate is based on red, with four golden gray characters on the surface:

"Pangeon".

……

After leaving the dressing room, Shang Jianyao waited for 2 minutes until Long Yuehong was done, and then returned to room 14 together.

Long Yuehong glanced at Shang Jianyao, then again, and finally couldn't help but said:

"Don't you think I'm different?"

Shang Jian Yao gave him a sideways glance, but didn't speak.

Long Yuehong raised her arm and said:

"I'm not nervous! Don't you see that I'm not nervous?

"If it was before, I must have been scared and pessimistic, but now, it's just a field training, and I think I can handle it.

"These two months of training have really helped."

Shang Jian Yao slowed down and looked Long Yuehong up and down.

Suddenly, he smiled:

"Your legs are shaking."

"..." Long Yuehong's expression suddenly collapsed.

Shang Jianyao ignored him and walked towards Room 14.

Long Yuehong came back to her senses, looked down at her legs, and shouted:

"No shaking! No shaking!"
