Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 13 Ceremony Sense

Two months passed in a flash.

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

“This This kind of high-intensity training is really useful. I think I can beat the five of myself when I just graduated, no, three.”

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

Shang Jianyao looks at the seam of the elevator door:

“Hey, I made a genetic modification, only 1.75 meters long. I look ordinary and my grades are average…”

“…” Long Yuehong didn’t know what expression to use to deal with for a while.

He took a deep breath and vomited heavily:

“Really, I have eaten meat every day for the past two months, why didn’t he grow a centimeter taller?”

p>

while speaking, the two got out of the elevator and turned into room 14 skillfully.

They don’t know what they are going to train this morning. They are not sure whether to change to the uniform of the security department or wear more combat-friendly clothes, so they can only report to Jiang Baiman first, and then go to the bathhouse changing room.

At this time, Jiang Baiman and Bai Chen have arrived, and they are gathered around the brown desk belonging to the former, watching something seriously.

“Good morning, team leader!” Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong are used to shouting.

Jiang Baiman raised his head and waved his hand:

“Come here, I have something to tell you.”

Long Yuehong took a look at Shang Jianyao and found that he didn’t seem to Know exactly what is going on.

The two of them walked over and saw a very low-precision map on Jiang Baiman’s desk painted in brown and red.

Jiang Baiman clenched his fist and punched the map lightly, and said with a smile:

“Today’s training program is:

“Field training! “

“Huh? “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 He didn’t speak, but the smile on his face couldn’t hide.

Jiang Baiman looked around and said:

“I planned to start again in two days, but it happened to be For a small task, you need to go to a certain wilderness wanderer settlement to send a water purification device filter chip, so let’s go today.

“Bai Chen, tell them about the final destination and general route.”

Bai Chen, who is still wearing a gray scarf, is supporting the edge of the table with one hand. Tap a place on the map and say:

“This is Qifeng Town, which is about 300 kilometers away from the company. If there is a repaired road, there is no danger in the middle. We take turns driving, one day It can be reached within. Unfortunately, there is no good road in the black marsh wilderness. Perhaps there is a small section of the road from the old world that is well preserved, but there are many weeds and the road is cracked to a certain extent, but that It’s just an example.”

Both Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong know that “black marsh wilderness” refers to the dangerous area outside the company.

It occupies a very large area, the far north 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 Group”. If you go for a long time to the southeast, you will enter the “First City” .

As for the south, there is another wilderness and several mountain ranges.

Bai Chen continued to explain:

“You should see that there is a’Great 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, they are pure swamps, or there are distorted, terrifying monsters or monster groups entrenched, or there are ruins of the old world that can’t be returned once you go.

” After delineating the heavily polluted areas, there are not many routes we can choose. Moreover, we have to exclude the two commonly used by companies and set up outposts, otherwise the goal of field training will not be achieved.

“Combining the above conditions and the geographical situation of Great Swamp, I have planned two routes: Both of them need to be interspersed back and forth in Great Swamp, and it takes about the same time. It takes a week or even two weeks to arrive at the prayer. Fengzhen, it depends on the weather.

“Which route do you prefer?” Or, want to surround Great Swamp from the outside? It will take longer, and the degree of danger may not be much lower.

“Well, my understanding of Great Swamp is not too detailed. I haven’t been to many places. You can provide other opinions.”

Before Jiang Baiman speaks, Shang Jianyao stepped forward, pointing to one of the routes and said:

“This one is good.”

“Why?” Bai Chen asked subconsciously.

Then, she regretted deeply and felt that she should not ask.

“Smooth lines and beautiful shapes.” Shang Jianyao looked sincere.

Bai Chen turned his head to look at the group leader, hoping that she could “advocate justice.”

Jiang Baiman 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 one.

p>

“It was so happily decided! “

After that, she looked towards Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong, pointed to her electronic watch and said:

“You have 15 minutes of preparation time.” “

“Only 15 minutes?” “Long Yuehong’s face almost wrinkled.

“14 minutes and 55 seconds. Jiang Baiman looked at the electronic watch and responded without looking up.

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

“Hey, wait for me!” “

The two quickly entered the locker room of the nearby bathhouse and opened their own cabinet.

Because they are all sweating every day, they put a lot of clothes on. Put it here for easy replacement.

——In the company, because there is no sunlight and the night is very cold, the employees can’t dry the clothes, so the “Training and Security Department” sends people to take them away. Wash, dry, and send back together (the small items next to your body can be left above the sink or put a basin underneath to catch the falling water drops).

Shang Jianyao takes out a safety department The standard camouflage backpack opened the zipper and stuffed one of the uniforms in.

Then, he put the two-in-one shampoo and body soap into a plastic bag and threw it into it. I put my backpack.

After putting loose items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, and personal small items, Shang Jianyao quickly took off his clothes and threw them into the cabinet.

Wear only With a pair of pants, he immediately took out the remaining gray uniform and moved quickly to put it on his body.

After bending over to tie up the leather boots, Shang Jianyao straightened up and walked to the half-length mirror. , Tidy up his shirt.

In the mirror, his eyebrows are straight, his brown eyes are bright, his black hair is clean and neat, and his face is deep and rigid.

With a very design The uniform of the security department with a sense of military temperament, Shang Jianyao looks both sunny and powerful.

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

The nameplate has red as the bottom, and four golden earth texts are highlighted on the surface:

“Pangu Biology”.

… ………

Out of the locker room, Shang Jianyao waited for two minutes, and waited until Long Yuehong was ready, and returned to Room 14.

Long Yuehong took a look at Shang Jianyao and then After taking a look, I finally couldn’t help but opened the mouth and said:

“Don’t you think I am different? “

Shang Jianyao squinted at him and said nothing.

Long Yuehong raised his arm and said:

“I’m not nervous! Didn’t you find that I’m not nervous?

“If it was before, I would definitely be scared and pessimistic, but now, it’s just a field training. I think I can handle it.

” Training is really useful. “

Shang Jianyao slowed down and looked up and down Long Yuehong.

Suddenly, he smiled:

“Your legs are shaking. “

“…” Long Yuehong’s expression suddenly collapsed.

Shang Jianyao ignored him and walked to Room 14.

Long Yuehong came back to his senses, looked down at his legs, and yelled:

“No shaking! No shaking! “

After interrupting like this, he felt that he was really not nervous at all.

The two quickly returned to room 14, Jiang Baiman glanced over, and fell to Shang. Jianyao’s left chest.

She raised her eyebrows slightly and said:

“There is no need to wear a nameplate, and it is not a company-level action.

“Also, in the case of a small number of people, nameplates will only bring danger. Those bandits and wanderers on the earth don’t care if they are big powers. Sometimes, if they can’t grab something, It may not even survive today. It is meaningless to consider whether attacking members of the big forces will bring serious consequences.”

Shang Jianyao gently nodded, loudly said:

“ceremony Feeling!”

“…Take it off when you leave the company, let’s go now.” Jiang Baiman rubbed his forehead.

Shang Jianyao, Bai Chen, and Long Yuehong carrying the same camouflage bag, followed behind her and walked to the elevator area.

Entering the elevator, Jiang Baiman took out his electronic card and swiped it, and pressed the number “650”.

In just a few seconds, the elevator finished moving up and opened the car door and hall door.

The 650th floor is the floor of the “Pangu Biology” underground building closest to the ground. There is almost no free-moving silhouette, only walls made of silver and white metal, aisles separated by heavy doors and The security staff standing guard with weapons exists.

Jiang Baiman swiped his electronic card time and time again and opened the heavy metal doors that opened one after another.

She took Shang Jianyao and others through the long corridor to the other side of the 650th floor.

During this process, several doors will scan the iris and body of the cardholder to confirm whether it is a counterfeit. At the end, there is even a link to enter a password.

At the end of the aisle is a row of elevators. Jiang Baiman chose one at random, swiped his card and pressed the metal key corresponding to the “surface area”.

The elevator slowly goes up, revealing in front of Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and others is a wide square with a metal dome and steel brackets above it.

“Parking lot.” Jiang Baiman introduced with a smile.

There are not only various cars parked here, but also tanks and missile vehicles. They are lined up neatly, one by one, line by line, with no end in sight, which deeply shocked Shang Jianyao. , Long Yuehong et al.

Jiang Baiman quickly found the car assigned to him:

It was a gray-green four-seater jeep with a high chassis and large wheels. It had an imposing manner.

Jiang Baiman immediately opened the trunk, pointed to the left and said:

“This is the weapon for this field training, the company’s 9mm bullet pistol, named’Ice Moss’ It is an imitation of the’Red River’ gun of’First City’. This bullet is the most common and easiest to replenish.”

The “Ice Moss” pistol is silver white and has a non-slip handle on the handle. Pattern.

Jiang Baiman continued:

“One for each person, and also for the’United 202′, one for each person.

“These two It’s an assault rifle, you know, the company’s’Berserker’ uses 5.56mm bullets…

“This is an’Orange’ rifle. It can be used as a sniper rifle with a scope…

“This is a grenade gun, nicknamed’Tyrant’…

“This is all the weapons, the bullets are here, you put the pistols on your body first, and bring a few A magazine.”

Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong have been accustomed to seeing all kinds of weapons during this time, and they can’t be familiar with them anymore, so they calmly picked up “Ice Moss” and “United 202”. Hung on the waist belt.

Jiang Baiman pointed to the carton on the right again:

“Military cans, energy bars, compressed biscuits, this is our supply.

“hehe, They certainly can’t support us to reach Qifeng Town. The remaining part needs to be obtained in the wild by ourselves, which is part of training. “

“Yes, group leader!” “Bai Chen, Shang Jianyao and others are not surprised at all.

“Okay, get in the car.” “Jiang Baiman waved his hand quite proudly.

Because Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong don’t know how to drive yet, the two ladies sit in the front row and prepare to take turns driving.

I plan to go to a more open area and let the two men learn.

In the simulated sound, Jiang Baiman drove this four-door jeep and let it pass one checkpoint after another in the parking lot. Separate the gates.

After a while, Jiang Baiman pointed his chin to the front:

“The last gate is here. “

It was a silver-white door that opened, and was guarded by nearly twenty security staff along the way.

After receiving the last review, Jiang Baiman drove the jeep towards The metal gate.

At this time, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong became uncontrollably nervous and held their breath.

This is the first time they have gone to the surface since they were born.

p>

As the Jeep approached, the opposite silver-white door opened a little bit backward.

Dyed with golden rays of light, it shone in suddenly, not as white as a fluorescent lamp, nor Not as yellow as a candle fire.

Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong shrank their bodies at the same time, lifted their right hand, and blocked them.

The rays of light are a bit dazzling.
