The end of the world starts with failing the exam

Chapter 226 The second old descendant on the list: Xue Shiguan

On the way to the base hall, Jiang Jingzhe introduced the situation to Chen Jing as briefly as possible while suppressing his voice.

The situation is probably similar to what Li Mobai said.

This so-called "Base No. 1" is no longer exclusively managed by the [Ether Association], because various countries have selectively released the association and are even using various means to restrict their development.

Currently [Ether Association] and [Dawn Foundation] are competing for the management rights of this base, so the situation inside the base is particularly chaotic. Those wearing [Dawn Foundation] uniforms only came yesterday...

"They used to live in the lounge upstairs, and the main research hall required formalities before they could come, so they were always wrangling..."

"Is this the end of the story?" Chen Jing looked at the dense crowd of people in the hall.

"may be."

Jiang Jingzhe muttered, and suddenly his eyes flashed, and he suddenly realized.

"Oh, it seems not."

At this time, Chen Jing also saw those people lying in the corner of the hall covered in blood.

Judging by the uniforms they wear.

They should all be from the [Ether Association].

"How did you get in! You can't enter this place without formalities!" Dr. Pickman stood in front of the door and shouted, looking nervous, "Don't touch our instruments! Don't adjust the parameters that have been adjusted with difficulty... …”

Chen Jing and Jiang Jingzhe walked over and looked at each other with the members of [Shuguang Foundation].

The expressions on both sides are very subtle.

Chen Jing felt troublesome, so his expression was a little helpless.

And those people from [Dawn Foundation] looked like they had seen a ghost.

Yes.

They all "met" Chen Jing through the candidate score rankings.

I also know what kind of strength Chen Jing is.

Therefore, people from [Shuguang Foundation] do not want to have a head-on conflict with Chen Jing at all. As for whether there will be any small tricks behind the scenes, that is another matter...

"Aren't you going up now?" Jiang Jingzhe touched Chen Jing with his arm and whispered, "Our people have been bullied by them..."

"You should ask the leader for this kind of thing." Chen Jing laughed, feeling that Jiang Jingzhe's idea was a little outrageous, "I'm here to work, not to be a member of the club. The leader didn't come forward when my younger brother was beaten, so I was still needed... …”

"Aren't you the leader?" Jiang Jingzhe rolled her eyes at him.

Before Chen Jing could say anything, those [Shuguang Foundation] people suddenly made way.

A young man who looked slightly older than Chen Jing came out.

He was wearing simple casual clothes, his long hair was tied up in his head, and he had a totem-like tattoo on his neck.

"Chen Jing?"

The young man walked until he was almost three meters in front of Chen Jing, then stopped and said hello with a smile.

"Hello." Chen Dingding nodded and briefly estimated the distance between the two parties.

This was probably still close to the point where Yagerthos could strike at the man with his sword if he suddenly took action.

"I am Xue Shiguan from [Shuguang Foundation]. I didn't expect to see you here..."

Chen Jing didn't care about his politeness, only his name.

Xue Shiguan.

This name seems familiar. I seem to have seen it somewhere... That's right! Isn't it him who ranks second in the candidate score rankings?

"Nice to meet you..." Chen Jing said politely, pretending not to see Jiang Jingzhe's suggestive eyes, and kept looking deep into the hall, which is the place closest to the palace under the ice...

Chen Jing remembered that Li Mobai said that Base No. 1 is an underground facility built around the palace. The palace is located in the center of the base, and the base is built in a ring shape on the outside...

Through the floor-to-ceiling glass at the front.

Chen Jingneng could vaguely see some mud-yellow buildings obscured by translucent films.

"Are the people in your foundation so domineering now?"

Jiang Jingzhe could probably tell that Chen Jing didn't want to meddle in other people's business. Although she was extremely wary of Xue Shiguan, the second on the list, as a veteran transcendent of the [Ether Association]...

If you don't stand up when you see one of your own being bullied, isn't it just a coward?

"Ms. Jiang, as a senior member of the association, you should know that the ownership of Base No. 1 has changed hands." Xue Shiguan's smile did not diminish, and his words and deeds were unreasonable.

Even when facing an old descendant like Jiang Jingzhe who was far weaker than him, he didn't put on any airs.

Of course, it might also be because Chen Jing was still present.

For this rising figure among the people.

No one is afraid.

Chen Jing's personal information is not a secret, especially for an organization like the Foundation.

Even before the rankings came out, when someone discovered that Chen Jing was a candidate, all his files from childhood to adulthood were put on the table.

Excellent results.

Grew up in the mountains.

Average job.

Don't like to go out.

These keywords almost constituted the first half of his life.

And precisely because of this, there are many so-called "outstanding talents" who hate Chen Jing to the core... Some of them are from associations, and some are from famous families.

all in all.

It is difficult for them to accept it from the bottom of their hearts...

A person from a lowly background unexpectedly climbed to the top of the pyramid.

This feeling.

Just like a wild dog on the roadside, one day he turned over and became his master.

"The ownership has changed hands?!" Jiang Jingzhe looked at Xue Shiguan in disbelief, then quickly turned to Dr. Pickman, "When did it happen?!"

"Not yet!" Pickman said loudly, "The ownership of the base is still under discussion! It will take at least two days for the results to come out!"

Hearing this, Xue Shiguan just frowned slightly, but the smile on his face was still gentle and elegant.

"Since there is no result from the discussion, we still follow the original rules. This base is nominally jointly managed by both parties, but the research department on the ancient ruins is still managed by our association..."

Jiang Jingzhe was so angry that he laughed and spoke with a hint of anger.

"The main research hall is the territory of our association. When will it be your foundation's turn to invade?"

"Do you believe me when I say this is a misunderstanding?" …”

"That was also caused by pushing?" Jiang Jingzhe pointed at an association member lying on the ground not far away. The man was obviously breathing out, and his abdomen was stained red with blood. "You said he was stabbed. It’s almost the same!”

"Ah... maybe..." Xue Shiguan said helplessly, "In short, this matter is our fault... We will also provide corresponding compensation to these injured people..."

"What compensation?" Jiang Jingzhe asked with a frown.

"Compensate." Xue Shiguan smiled, and while talking to Jiang Jingzhe, he also looked at Chen Jing calmly. Seeing that he didn't seem to care about such a trivial matter, he immediately became more relieved, "We will pay whatever it is." How many!"

At this moment, the wounded man lying in the hall, clutching his stomach, suddenly sat up like a corpse, yelling and spitting out blood foam from his mouth.

"I don't want money!!! Who the hell are you insulting!!!"

When he heard this, Xue Shiguan frowned slightly, and a trace of murderous intent that was difficult to detect flashed in his eyes, but there was still a smile that made people feel like spring breeze on his face.

"Then what do you want?" Xue Shiguan turned around and asked.

The man struggled to sit up, bleeding from the wound on his abdomen.

"I want you to give me a fucking knife!!!"
