No.17 Chapter April

"It seems that we can only know the answer when Shang Jianyao enters the 'Soul Corridor'." Long Yuehong said with a little disappointment.

In reality, the mysterious laboratory in the ruins of Swamp No. 1 has been destroyed, so they can only find ways to dig out the hidden secrets from someone's dreams or memories.

Jiang Baimian nodded first, and then proposed another possibility:

"The rooms of the 'Mind Corridor' recorded by Yan Hu are not necessarily the same as the original owner of the 'Coward'.

"The original owner can completely leave enough breath for some purpose or some accident when exploring in other rooms.

"Also, maybe it's the room '102'. Yan Hu didn't tick it, it doesn't mean that Yan Hu has only entered it once, maybe he didn't finish exploring the first time, he only got the breath of 'coward', so he proceeded After a second or third exploration, I never came back."

Clap, clap, Shang Jianyao's applause is never late.

Jiang Baimian glanced at him:

"The next step is to observe, to see if there are any other changes, and to see if the company has given the record of excavating the ruins of Swamp No. 1."

After speaking, she walked back to her place and read the accumulated materials.

……

For a long time to come, the "Old Tune Team" prepared step by step for the initial trip to the city in a relatively peaceful and stable state.

They spent most of their time training themselves and mastering the various situations of the "First City". At the same time, they went to the surface three times, sometimes for field training, and sometimes for in-depth mastery classes of military exoskeleton devices.

Shang Jianyao found no yellow-green mist left in the "Sea of ​​Origin", but to Jiang Baimian's surprise, he hadn't encountered the fourth island of fear for so long.

As for Room 495, Block B, Floor 23, it has been allocated to a couple who are freely in love and married, and nothing abnormal happened.The encounter between Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao was really like a dream.

Similarly, the influence of the "Natural Sect" in the "Pangaea" seems to have been completely eradicated, and there is no follow-up.

In a blink of an eye, April is here.

Standing in Room 647 on the 14th floor, Jiang Baimian said to Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen with a serious expression:

"Tomorrow is the scheduled departure date.

"Do you have any other ideas?"

Shang Jian Yao and the others shook their heads at the same time.

The departure date was discussed and decided by them last month, and each of them has enough psychological preparation.

The corners of Jiang Baimian's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a bright smile:

"Then I announce that you will leave work early, and you can go back now."

"Yes, team leader!" Bai Chen, Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao answered in unison.

……

Floor 622, Area B, Room 59.

Bai Chen took out the key, opened the door and entered.

The interior of the room is very simple, with a bed next to the wall, a table next to the window, a chair next to the table, and a set of cabinets next to the bed.

It's simple and simple, but it's tidy, there are no unnecessary clutter, and there is no place where dust is obvious. It is refreshing and clean.

Bai Chen didn't turn on the light, and sat on the chair, looking at the bright streetlights outside the window on the table, half of her body was in the light, and half in the darkness.

After a while, she stretched out her hand and opened the desk drawer.

Inside lay a heavy mechanical part quietly.

There are some cracks on the surface of the parts, and the color is quite dull.

Bai Chen picked up this part, held it, looked at it, and didn't move for a long time.

……

Floor 349, Block C, No. 12.

Jiang Baimian didn't return home until almost eight o'clock.

Of course, she had called in advance and said that she was having dinner in the small cafeteria of the "Department of Security", so that her parents would not have to prepare her own portion.

As soon as he opened the door, Jiang Baimian saw that the room was dark. Jiang Wenfeng was sitting on a chair by the window, flipping through a book by the light of the street lamp.

"Pay attention to your eyes!" Jiang Baimian snapped on the fluorescent lamp in the living room.

It was like daylight here.

Jiang Baimian walked towards Jiang Wenfeng who raised his hand and rubbed the inner corners of his eyes, and complained:

"How much energy does this save?

"You can't use up your energy allotment every month!"

Without giving Jiang Wenfeng a chance to speak, Jiang Baimian glanced left and right:

"Where's Mom?"

"Going to visit." Jiang Wenfeng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

Good opportunity... Jiang Baimian thought to himself, and sat next to Jiang Wenfeng.

She took a breath and made herself calm and calm:

"Dad, I have another mission tomorrow."

Jiang Wenfeng took off his presbyopic glasses, glanced sideways at his daughter, and asked in a calm tone:

"Where are you going this time?"

Jiang Baimian replied obediently:

"The original city."

"Ah, that's a good place, but it's also a bad place." Jiang Wenfeng stood up, walked to the small table next to him, picked up the microphone of the landline, and dialed a number.

He said a few words to the other side, "hmm" twice, then put down the phone, turned around and said to Jiang Baimian:

"Old Huang has a deep friendship with a veteran named Meyers in the Senate of the 'First City'. If you encounter difficulties and cannot solve them by yourself, and the company's assistance will not keep up for a while, go to this veteran. , report Huang Lao’s name.”

"Okay." Jiang Baimian nodded quickly.

When Jiang Wenfeng sat down again, she was silent for a few seconds, hugged her father's arm, and leaned her head towards him.

"Dad, am I self-willed and selfish..." She looked forward and said to herself.

Jiang Wenfeng patted her arm with the other hand and said with a smile:

"When your grandfather was young, everyone was motivated and busy day and night, in order to completely improve the internal circulation of the company, so that the place where everyone can survive and survive the doomsday is truly built.

"Some people sacrificed for this, some people were left sick, some lost relatives and friends, but no one regretted it.

"He often told me that staying underground is not a long-term solution, and our future is always under the sun."

Having said that, Jiang Wenfeng paused:

"I can understand your ideal."

Jiang Baimian snorted twice:

"Then are you willing?"

Jiang Wenfeng let out a long sigh:

"If you don't want to part with it, you have to be willing to part with it. It's up to the parents."

Jiang Baimian leaned his head closer and laughed:

"Then it will help comfort my mother."

"Are you plotting against me?" Jiang Wenfeng laughed.

Jiang Baimian laughed and said:

"When Ms. Xue got angry, Bai Mian ran away with her head in her arms, and I can only rely on you."

Jiang Wenfeng looked ahead, exhaled and said:

"Your mother is a person with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart. Every time you go on a mission, she can't sleep well at night and often wipes tears quietly."

Jiang Baimian couldn't help closing his eyes, and said sullenly:

"I will remember to bring a gift for Ms. Xue..."

……

Floor 495, Block C, No. 11.

The five members of the Long family gathered around the dining table and had dinner.

"Today's dishes are so rich." Long Aihong sighed sincerely after eating a mouthful of braised pork.

Long Yuehong smiled and said:

"I got off work early today, so I added more food."

"Brother, it would be great if you left work so early every day." Long Aihong imagined that beautiful scene.

"What are you talking about?" Gu Hong scolded, "The ones who get off work early every day are either leaders or idlers. Do you think your brother will not be able to improve in the future?"

"I'll just talk about it." Long Aihong replied in a low voice.

At this time, she found that her second brother Long Zhigu had secretly eaten a few extra pieces of meat while he was talking, so she quickly closed her mouth and focused on the food.

When the father, mother, brother and sister had almost eaten, Long Yuehong looked around and said casually:

"I'm going on another mission tomorrow. If it's fast, I can come back in a month, but if it's slow, it may take several months."

This is completely different from the time spent in the previous field training.

Pa, Gu Hong's chopsticks fell on the table.

She quickly picked it up, smiled and said:

"Did you say where you are going to perform the mission?"

"Over there at the 'First City'." Long Yuehong didn't elaborate, but only briefly mentioned it.

Gu Hong held the chopsticks, closed her mouth, and did not speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Long Dayong straightened his body and said in a deep voice:

"Be careful in everything, your mother and I can't help you, we can only say that there is nothing to worry about at home.

"When you're outside, you have to listen to your leaders. She must have more experience than you, and what she said must make sense. If you encounter a situation, don't rush too hard. Take a look and wait..."

Speaking of this, Long Dayong paused, as if he was a little stuck.

At this time, Gu Hong sucked her nose and said:

"Remember to bring that thin sweater, the surface of the earth often cools down in April..."

As she spoke, she couldn't continue, her eyes were slightly red.

"Okay." Long Yuehong suddenly felt that the dishes in front of her became blurred.

Long Aihong and Long Zhigu next to him gave him a cheering gesture.

……

Floor 495, Block B, No. 196.

Shang Jianyao was still lying on the bed, hiding in the darkness, waiting for the broadcast to start.

Not long after, the familiar voice echoed:

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