Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 10

Chapter 10 “Heaven’s Chosen Son” (recommendation ticket)

Long Yuehong originally thought that Shang Jianyao would go along with two sentences to comfort himself, who knew that the other party would not say a word. Go straight forward, as if not hearing what I was saying.

Long Yuehong opened his mouth and wanted to repeat it, but in the end he didn’t say anything, just silently sighed.

After walking in silence for a while, the two reached the fourth elevator area at the corner of the C area.

While waiting for the elevator to arrive, Long Yuehong felt that time passed very slowly, and every second was tormented, making it difficult to breathe.

Finally, the elevator on the left opened the hall door.

After entering, Shang Jianyao swiped the electronic card and turned on the 647 button.

The car door is then closed and the elevator starts to move up.

Looking at the changes in the number of floors, Shang Jianyao suddenly spoke with a low voice:

“Everyone has their own mission.”

Long Yuehong was startled twice. Second, bitter said with a smile:

“I just want to stay inside the company, find a good wife, have two lovely children, a boy and a girl, and then try to get them to eat three times a week Suddenly…”

His voice gradually became lower, as if he felt that such a goal could not be accomplished.

Shang Jianyao didn’t speak any more, and Long Yuehong didn’t know what to say. The two closed their mouths and stood still, making the time inside the elevator seem to have stalled.

I don’t know how long it took, the elevator stopped on the 647 floor.

Long Yuehong walked out, lowered his head and asked:

“Shang Jianyao, what were you thinking about just now? I was thinking, fortunately, I have a younger brother and a younger sister. “

“In a daze.” Shang Jianyao said, looking ahead.

“…Your mentality is really good.” Long Yuehong couldn’t help sighing.

“After all, I applied by myself.” Shang Jianyao cast his gaze to the right to check the house number.

“…” Long Yuehong was speechless, and followed to find room 14.

Unlike the 495th floor, the 647th floor is not divided into several streets, and the rooms are not separated by only two or three meters wide.

Here is a “training field” as the center, and they are surrounded by several rooms with a large area.

Soon, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong arrived outside room 14.

There is no nameplate on the door, making it impossible for the two of them to guess which action group, squadron, and group of the Ministry of Security.

Long Yuehong opened his mouth and inhaled hard, ready to adjust his mentality and face his fate.

At this moment, Shang Jianyao didn’t hesitate at all. He bent his finger and knocked on the door.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound came a bit suddenly and interrupted Long Yuehong’s deep breathing.

He was about to complain about Shang Jianyao, and there was a slightly hoarse female voice:

“Please come in.”

Shang Jianyao twisted The handle, opened the door.

Long Yuehong immediately looked inside and scanned it roughly.

This room is at least three times larger than his home. Inside, there is a desk painted with reddish brown paint and two large bookcases.

On the left side of the wall, there are three tables in total, which are black and quite old.

The middle and right areas act as the “living room”. There is a set of scarred cloth sofas, a coffee table, four back chairs, two benches and four low stools.

At this time, in the single sofa position, a woman stood up and looked towards the door.

She is in her twenties and is close to 1.8 meters tall. She has an excellent head, body, and leg ratio. Her skin is wheat-colored, and her black hair has a ponytail lightly behind her head.

Different from the common girls in the “living area”, she is wearing a uniform belonging to the “Ministry of Security”-gray as a base, with a certain camouflage pattern, and looks heroic.

And her facial features are also very suitable for such a dress, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and full of heroic spirit.

“Are you the new team members?” The woman smiled cheerfully, but her voice seemed a bit loud.

“Yes, yes.” When Long Yuehong saw such a beautiful woman with such an unusual temperament, he was a little restrained for a while.

The woman frowned slightly and said:

“Speak louder.”

There is an unspeakable sense of clarity in her voice, obviously not just saying “Please come in “People.

Long Yuehong was taken aback, thinking that he didn’t know how to offend his boss.

Shang Jianyao took a step forward and said with a loud voice:

“Yes!”

His voice echoed in the room and spread to the corridor.

The woman smiled again and pointed to her ear:

“Don’t have to be so loud, I just have a hearing problem, not at all deaf.”

Long Yuehong followed her fingers and saw that there were silver white metal items in her ears.

“The cochlea.” The woman said frankly.

She immediately reduced her smile, and said in a voice much louder than normal:

“Introduce myself, I am your team leader, Jiang Baiman.

“Said it is the team leader, but in fact it hasn’t reached DLevel 7, currently only D6. “

“Yes, group leader. “Long Yuehong responded loudly.

“Hello team leader! “Shang Jianyao seemed very happy.

Jiang Baiman pointed to the couch position:

“She is another team member, Bai Chen. “

Bai Chen is only about 1.6 meters tall. Although she also wears a gray camouflage uniform, she is obviously petite compared to Jiang Baiman.

Her neck is wrapped in gray flutter. Her old scarf, her black hair has just passed her ears, her facial features are fairly delicate, her skin is rather rough, as if she is often hit by wind and rain.

Unlike Jiang Baiman’s dark brown eyes, her eyes are closer Brown and yellow.

“Hello. Bai Chen greeted with a slightly hoarse voice.

“Hello. “Long Yuehong is still a bit cautious.

“Hello!” “Shang Jianyao’s voice is still very loud.

Jiang Baiman pointed to the position of the coffee table, loudly said:

“Find a place to sit by yourself, ah, yes, introduce yourself first. “

“Shang Jianyao! “Just as Jiang Baiman finished speaking, Shang Jianyao called out his name, then closed the door, holding the lunch box, walked over, and sat on a back chair.

“I’m Long Yuehong, My dad is surnamed Long, there is a scarlet letter in my mom’s name. “Long Yuehong subconsciously explained the origin of his name, and then he sat on the back chair next to Shang Jianyao.

Jiang Baiman sat down, looked around, said with a smile:

“Since everyone has arrived, I will briefly describe the situation of our group. “

“Are it all?” “Long Yuehong blurted out.

There are only four people?

How can a team of the Ministry of Security have more than 20 people, right?

Jiang Baiman was stunned. Frozen:

“What did you say? “

“He said there are too few people!” “Shang Jianyao helped translate.

Jiang Baiman stretched his eyebrows and said with a smile:

“We are not a combat team. “

Not a combat team? Long Yuehong is happy.

Jiang Baiman glanced at Shang Jianyao and said:

“The full name of our team is’ ‘Old World Annihilation Cause Investigation Team’, referred to as’Old Tune Team’.

“Well, I am not the only old-tone team. Both the Security Department and the board of directors have other old-tone teams, but they don’t know each other’s specifics.

“Remember! This is the key, confidential matter!

“Uh, don’t worry about repeating the investigation. Although we don’t know which old-tone teams and what the progress looks like, we will share the latest and most valuable clues with us.”

Speaking of this, Jiang Baiman paused, and his expression became serious:

“Compared with ordinary combat teams, the dangers faced by the’Old World Annihilation Cause Investigation Team’ It may be more and bigger.

“Why are there so many mini-groups with the same task? It was because there was only one old tune team with a large number of people. Then, in an out-of-office investigation, it disappeared completely and no one returned. The corresponding loss was very heavy and hard to make up. “

Long Yuehong’s face turned pale when he heard:

“This, it’s so dangerous…”

“What did you say? “Jiang Baiman only saw Long Yuehong’s mouth moving and hardly heard any sound.

Long Yuehong subconsciously looked towards Shang Jianyao and found that he had a serious expression, remained silent, and had no idea of translating for himself.

Long Yuehong took a breath, loudly shouted:

“So dangerous? “

After roaring like this, he found that his emotions have eased a lot.

Jiang Baiman nodded:

“The old-tone group may go deeper In the wilderness, investigating the ruins of the city, or going to other forces, looking for clues, we will face various situations and encounter various enemies.

“It can be said that even the senior staff of the security department are not too willing to join the old-tone group.”

Long Yuehong’s face is getting grayer:

“Why are we so bad luck?”

After talking to himself, he yelled out:

“Why are we so bad luck?”

Jiang Baiman looked around with a bit of confusion:

“I don’t have bad luck… I’m not assigned. Our old-tone group was actually formed after I applied.”

She laughed and added:

“I always think we need to figure out the cause of the old world annihilation. Only in this way can we avoid making the same mistakes and find the root cause of innocence. All human beings get rid of this fear.

“Furthermore, you have also heard rumors that there is a door to the New World hidden in the ruins of a certain city above the earth. If we never To explore, you will never enter the New World, and will always be with famine, infection, distortion, and monster.

“This is my dream, so I took the initiative to apply to the high level of the Ministry of Security, hoping to establish a new and old tune group.

“Hehe, I also like to dig from the ruins of the city In the past history, I like to observe the social conditions of other forces and come into contact with people and things in different places and states. “

Bai Chen, sitting quietly on the couch, suddenly opened the mouth and said:

“I heard people mention you, he said you are a’sociologist’, yes His Goddess. “

Jiang Baiman pu chi said with a smile:

“Ah, what are you talking about?” I didn’t hear the last thing you said, forget it, just talk about your own situation. “

Bai Chen looked towards Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong, and said in a slightly hoarse voice:

“I applied to join on the initiative.” As you may see, I am not an insider of the company. I used to be a wanderer in the wilderness and was later absorbed by the company. Currently, I don’t have the qualifications for a formal employee. The old team can help me accomplish this goal as soon as possible and improve my employees as soon as possible. At that time, you will be eligible to apply for genetic modification. “

Jiang Baiman tilted his head, as if he didn’t hear Bai Chen’s words clearly.

She smiled and asked:

“Is she behind? Speak ill of me?

“Hehe, we will definitely be active in the wilderness frequently. We need such a guide who is familiar with the wilderness and has dealt with multiple forces and settlements. Regardless of her age, she has a lot of experience. That’s right.”

After that, Jiang Baiman looked at Shang Jianyao:

“I have read your files, and I can probably guess why you applied to join the old tune group. p>

“Are there any other reasons besides that? “

“To save all mankind!” “Shang Jianyao said loudly.

Jiang Baiman’s expression was dull, and he raised his hand and touched his ear:

“Ah, what did you say?”

“Hehe, don’t repeat it, Long Yuehong, why did you join?”

“I was assigned… I just graduated this year and I am unmarried…” Long Yuehong cried and said.

After speaking, he reacted and repeated it loudly.

Jiang Baiman blinked his eyes:

“Among those many people, are you the only one who didn’t get married?

“Among so many graduates, You may be the only one assigned to the Ministry of Security, and you still belong to the old team? “
