long night fire

Liu Chengkun laughed dumbfounded, and said to the surrounding subordinates:

"Okay, don't just look at it, check it one by one, and register by category."

With two military exoskeleton devices in front of them, the batch of portable computers brought out by the "Old Tune Team" naturally couldn't surprise everyone anymore. They passed the preliminary search without any problems and were put aside to wait for the handover. review.

During this process, Jiang Baimian and others took out their belongings one by one.

And Liu Chengkun and the others returned the things that had been registered and reviewed by the "Old Tune Team" to them on the spot based on the online data.

One of the employees of the security department picked up an ordinary glass ball and casually asked Shang Jianyao:

"This thing is not everywhere, what's the point of taking it back?"

Similar things are indeed rare in the underground building of "Pangaea", but above the dust, such inedible, unwearable, and unusable items can only be played by children, and almost no one deliberately collects them.

In the ruins of the cities, there are many similar glass balls, and most of them are more beautiful than Shang Jianyao's.

Shang Jian Yao replied sincerely:

"Memorial value."

"Hehe, which girl gave it to you?" The employee from the security department joked and put down the glass ball.

After the preliminary inspection, he signaled Shang Jianyao to go through the security check.

After finishing the process easily, Jiang Baimian drove the vacant jeep to its original location, and led the team all the way back to his office on the 647th floor.

After taking a shower, they changed into clean clothes and walked towards the elevator again.

According to the instructions in the previous telegram, they need to meet with the deputy minister Xi Yu who is directly in charge of the "Old Tune Group" before dinner.

Seeing the elevator in sight, Jiang Baimian looked at Long Yuehong thoughtfully:

"When you don't understand, ask questions actively."

"Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong almost patted her chest to assure her.

On the way home, they had already discussed the precautions for meeting the leader, one of which was:

It is better to ask the deputy minister more questions than to be asked by her!

For the "Old Tune Group" who has its own little secret and intends to hide the two things of saving Gnava and beheading DiMarco, reducing the number of questions from Deputy Minister Xiyu can effectively reduce the risk of exposure.

"May I ask?" Shang Jianyao was quite active in wanting to participate.

"You just... forget it." Jiang Baimian frowned and relaxed.

She was afraid of exposing the fact that Shang Jianyao's "condition" was more serious than the doctor's report.

At the same time, she was also afraid that Deputy Minister Xi Yu would lose his image due to Shang Jianyao's anger. In that case, she might have small shoes to wear in the future.

Not long after, the "Old Tune Team" arrived on the 646th floor and knocked on the door of Deputy Minister Xi Yu's office. Then, they sat side by side on the couch as instructed.

Dressed neatly, with long chestnut hair and a gentle smile, Xiyu walked to the single sofa with a blue ceramic teacup in his hand, sat down and said with a smile:

"I heard that you brought back two military exoskeleton devices? It's amazing."

Jiang Baimian did not answer this question immediately, but smiled expectantly and said:

"Minister, you said before that if we can get military exoskeletons ourselves, you can call the shots and keep them in our group."

Xiyu touched his forehead, smiled and said:

"I didn't expect you to be able to get two in one go. Hey, many people now know that they want to get one for their team. Just now, the director of the operation cluster called me to talk about it. You guys, what a mess! I'm very passive."

"I can help you convince them." Shang Jianyao volunteered.

"How to persuade? By muscle?" Xi Yu could understand the anxious mood of the "Old Tune Group", and asked with a smile.

In this respect, he is professional... Jiang Baimian replied silently in his heart.

Without giving them a chance to speak, Xi Yu nodded:

"Fortunately, I can still withstand this pressure. After the review is all right, the two military exoskeleton devices will have your names on them, and you will receive them directly every time you go out on a mission.

"That jeep, have you also modified it? It will be your exclusive vehicle in the future."

"Yes, thank you minister!" Jiang Baimian did not hide his joy.

At the same time, she quietly squeezed Shang Jianyao's forearm with her right hand, telling him not to say outrageous words, such as "Thank you for not breaking us up".

With this conversation, the atmosphere became more harmonious, Xi Yu looked around and said:

"Let's make an oral report on this mission first."

Chapter 2 Meals

Jiang Baimian followed the pre-planned rhetoric, starting from Shuiwei Town, picking up the key points all the way to returning to Hongshiji.

Here, what she concealed was the two things of "establishing" the Wild Grass City Branch of Shang Jianyao Brotherhood and "abducting" the intelligent robot Gnava. At the same time, when dealing with DiMarco, she described the vigilance sect as the dominant party The "Old Tune Group" is for reward and a little bit of justice. The mercenaries who join this rank don't seem to be very dangerous anyway. If the sky falls, there will be tall ones to support them.

In fact, there is no problem with this, just as Veyer said, behind the coincidence is often fate.

Xiyu first picked up the azure ceramic teacup, took a sip, then shook his head with a smile, and said with emotion:

"When you go out this time, you have encountered more and more dangerous things than others who have performed ten or twenty missions, it is unbelievable.

"It was the same last time. I just sent a filter chip, and a lot of things happened."

When she was halfway through speaking, Shang Jianyao had already set his sights on Long Yuehong, Jiang Baimian forcibly held back, and did not do so, while Bai Chen looked calm, as if it was not the "Old Tune Group" that was "ridden by bad luck".

In front of the deputy minister, Long Yuehong couldn't refute, so she could only sit upright, pretending that she didn't feel Shang Jianyao's gaze.

"What's the matter?" After Xiyu finished speaking, she asked about some abnormalities in front of her eyes.

Jiang Baimian explained with a smile:

"Because we also feel that we have encountered too many dangers and things, so we wonder if any team member has had bad luck recently. Anyway, you guess and guess, you say me and I say you, habitually take this Come adjust your mood."

Xiyu laughed:

"It's okay to joke, but don't take it seriously. Superstition is a very bad thing."

I used to believe in science too... At this moment, Long Yuehong seemed to hear the voices of Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen.

Xiyu took another sip of tea, then asked:

"During the process of dealing with the 'Underground Ark', did you observe the battle between the Vigilance Sect and DiMarco?"

"No." Jiang Baimian shook his head without hesitation.

"No." Shang Jian Yao echoed with great sincerity.

Bai Chen and Long Yuehong also gave similar answers with body language at the same time.

This is absolutely not lying.

The Vigilance Sect didn't fight DiMarco at all, and of course they couldn't watch it.

Xiyu nodded lightly and said:

"It's a pity, otherwise you would have gained a lot of important information about the awakened, about the 'spiritual corridor'."

She immediately restrained the gentle smile that often hangs on her face, and said seriously:

"The next step is to go to the original city, where there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. I don't know how many awakened people at the level of the 'spiritual corridor' exist.

"Compared with ferocious firepower, a large number of troops, and various advanced equipment, these people are more dangerous and more terrifying. This is not to say that they can block missiles with their bodies, but that in a crowded city, their abilities, their The coverage area is enough to kill any unsuspecting person without knowing it.

"Fortunately, you have the experience of fighting against that 'advanced heartless person', so you don't know anything."

Jiang Baimian took the opportunity to say:

"Minister, I was about to mention this.

"I don't know if we can apply for all the information collected by the company in the field of awakened people? It is best to have different abilities and domains corresponding to different abilities, as well as a rough price range. In this way, when we encounter people with different beliefs When you are a believer, you can effectively prevent it.

"We can't always wait for the encounter, and then ask the company by sending a telegram. Not every time nothing happens, so that we can return to our residence calmly and take out the transceiver."

After listening silently, Xiyu nodded slightly and said:

"Your concerns are indeed justified, and I will try to apply for you.

"Actually, your investigation has reached this level, and you are also qualified to obtain more information."

Having said that, she laughed:

"Although you have encountered many things, you have also gained a lot. Just learning about the Nine Research Institutes and figuring out the original identity of the first citizen of the 'Original City' is a great contribution.

"After the review is over, your employee level will definitely be raised again, and the corresponding authority will also be increased.

"However, don't be too superstitious about the information provided by the company. It is not so perfect, and there may be mistakes. Also, there is no necessary connection between which age you believe in and what ability you have awakened. It can only be said that in the corresponding field The probability is higher, but there are also many special cases, which must not be generalized."

Once the judgment of the nature of the enemy's ability is wrong, it will really be fatal.

This point, Jiang Baimian and others also have experience:

Shang Jianyao once had a memory erased by an awakened member of the "Life Sacrifice" sect. This obviously belongs to the ability of the "Last Man" domain, but the other party believes in "Designer".

At this time, seeing that the deputy minister was about to ask a new question, Long Yuehong plucked up her courage and hurriedly asked:

"Minister, I have a question:

"We have all, uh, most of them have been genetically modified. Will it be very conspicuous in the original city, and it is easy for people to suspect that we are from 'Pangeon'?"

However, the reputation of their own company seems to be not very good in the dust, and the "First City" is the nearest big force, so there must be fierce competition between the two parties.

Xiyu looked at Long Yuehong, smiled and said:

"Don't worry, when you get to the original city, you will find that tall and good-looking ones can be seen everywhere, but at least they are not so rare."

She paused and explained with a smile:

"Who do you think the company is trading with when it exports so many genetically modified liquids in exchange for supplies every year?"

"Is that so..." Long Yuehong pretended to be suddenly enlightened.

When he had nothing to do on the way, he also finished reading the "Actor's Self-cultivation" that Shang Jianyao exchanged.

Xiyu glanced at the wall clock on the wall, thought it over and said:

"Let's stop here today. You should rest for a while and decide when to leave. Just make a report."

Her expression became serious again:

"What I must remind you is that investigating the cause of the destruction of the old world is definitely a dangerous thing. Apart from us, many big forces have also made similar attempts, but the team sent, after investigating to a certain extent, Either disappear, die, or become insane, with few exceptions.

"In addition, there are many powerful people hidden in the 'Original City', you must be careful this time, and keep in touch with the company at any time."

"Yes, Minister!" Shang Jian Yao Zhong replied angrily.

"..." Xiyu was stunned for a moment, "There's no need to be so formal, I'll just remind you a few words, okay, you can go back."

When Jiang Baimian got up, he curiously asked:

"Minister, what happened before that made us have to hand in the harvested items as soon as we arrived at the gate?

"I heard Team Liu tell the general situation, but I don't know what item that guy hid."

Xiyu sighed softly:

"A recording pen, which contains promotional materials of a hidden sect."

"What sect?" Shang saw Yao suddenly excited.

"Natural Sect." Xi Yu said simply, "We don't have any more information about it yet."

Natural sect... Jiang Baimian repeated the name in his heart.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Chen, whose bones hadn't fully healed, pursed his lower lip and asked:

"Minister, after this reward comes down, can I do genetic modification or bioprosthetic transplantation?"

In fact, with the new exoskeleton device, she is not so urgent about it.

Xiyu looked at Bai Chen and said seriously:

"If you insist.

"Well, the premise is that you have fully understood the corresponding risks."

Bai Chen nodded and said nothing more.

Shang Jianyao and others immediately bid farewell to the deputy minister and returned to room 647 on the 14th floor.

It was just 05:30, and there was still a while before the cafeteria opened. Jiang Baimian threw himself into the chair behind the desk, stretched his body, and said with emotion:
