Long Yuehong thought that Shang Jianyao would echo a few words and comfort herself, but the other party didn't say a word and went straight ahead, as if she didn't hear what she was saying at all.
Long Yuehong opened her mouth and wanted to repeat it, but in the end she didn't say it, just sighed silently.
After walking in silence for a while, the two arrived at the fourth elevator area located in the corner of Area C.
While waiting for the elevator to arrive, Long Yuehong felt that time passed very slowly, and every second was very painful, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Finally, the elevator on the left opened the hall door.
After entering, Shang Jianyao swiped his electronic card and pressed the 647 button.
The car door closed immediately and the elevator began to go up.
Looking at the changes in the number on the floor, Shang Jianyao suddenly spoke, his voice low:
"Everyone has their own mission."
Long Yuehong was stunned for two seconds, and said with a bitter smile:
"I just want to stay within the company, find a good wife, have two lovely children, a boy and a girl, and fight to get them to eat meat three times a week......"
His voice faded, as if he felt that such a goal could not be accomplished.
Shang Jianyao didn't speak anymore, and Long Yuehong didn't know what to say, the two of them stood in place with their mouths closed, making time inside the elevator seem to stand still.
I don't know how long it took, but the elevator stopped on the 647th floor.
Long Yuehong walked out and lowered her head and asked:
"Shang Jianyao, what were you thinking just now? I'm thinking, fortunately, I have a brother and a sister."
"In a daze." Shang Jianyao looked forward at the road.
「…… You have a good mentality." Long Yuehong couldn't help but sigh.
"After all, I applied for it myself." Shang Jianyao turned his gaze to the right and checked the house number.
"......" Long Yuehong was speechless, and then looked for 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.
This place is centered on a "training ground", and they are surrounded by several rooms of considerable size.
Soon, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong arrived outside room 14.
There was no nameplate on the door, making it impossible for the two of them to guess which action group, which brigade and which group of the Ministry of Security belonged to.
Long Yuehong opened her mouth and inhaled hard, ready to adjust her mentality and face fate.
At this moment, Shang Jianyao did not hesitate at all, bent his fingers, and knocked on the door.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
This voice came a little suddenly, interrupting Long Yuehong's deep breathing.
He was about to complain about Shang Jianyao, but a slightly hoarse female voice came out of it:
"Please come in."
Shang Jianyao twisted the handle and pushed open the door.
Long Yuehong immediately looked inside and glanced around roughly.
The room was at least three times larger than his house, and there was a brownish-red desk and two large bookcases at the very back.
On the left side of the wall, there are three black tables, quite old.
The middle part and the right area, which acts as the "living room", has a set of scarred fabric 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 at the door.
She is in her twenties, nearly 1.8 meters tall, with excellent head, body, and leg proportions, wheat-colored skin, and black hair lightly tied in a ponytail at the back of her head.
Different from the girls commonly seen in the "living area", she wears a uniform belonging to the "Security Department" - gray as the base with a certain camouflage pattern, which looks heroic.
And her facial features are also very suitable for this kind of dress, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and full of heroism.
"Are you the new team members?" The woman smiled cheerfully and sunny, but her voice seemed a little loud.
"Yes, yes." Long Yuehong saw a beautiful woman with such an unusual temperament, and was a little restrained for a while.
The woman frowned slightly and said:
"Be louder."
Her voice had an indescribable clarity, obviously not the person who said "please come in" just now.
Long Yuehong was startled, thinking that she didn't know how to offend her boss.
Shang Jianyao took a step forward, opened his throat and said:
"Yes!"
His voice echoed in the room and spread to the corridor.
The woman smiled again and pointed to her ears:
"You don't have to be so loud, I just have a hearing problem and I am not deaf."
Long Yuehong followed her fingers and saw silver-white metal objects in her ears.
"Cochlea." The woman said calmly.
She immediately restrained her smile and said in a voice much louder than normal:
"Let me introduce myself, I am your team leader, Jiang Baimian.
"He said he was the team leader, but he hadn't reached D7 yet, and he was only D6 at present."
"Yes, team leader." Long Yuehong responded loudly.
"Hello team leader!" Shang Jianyao looked very happy.
Jiang Baimian pointed to the position of the long sofa:
"She is another team member, Bai Chen."
Bai Chen is only about 1.6 meters tall, although he is also wearing a gray camouflage uniform, but compared to Jiang Baimian, he is obviously much smaller.
She wore an old scarf with gray fluttering around her neck, her black hair was just past her ears, her facial features were quite delicate, and her skin was quite rough, as if she was often beaten by wind and rain.
Unlike Jiang Baimian's dark brown eyes, her eyes are closer to brownish-yellow.
"Hello." Bai Chen greeted in a slightly hoarse voice.
"Hello." Long Yuehong is still a little restrained.
"Hello!" Shang Jianyao's voice was still very loud.
Jiang Baimian pointed to the position of the coffee table and said loudly:
"Find a place to sit by yourself, ah, yes, introduce yourself first."
"Merchant Yao!" As soon as Jiang Baimian finished speaking, Shang Jianyao called out his name, then closed the door, took the lunch box, walked over, and sat down on a back chair.
"I am Long Yuehong, my dad's surname is Long, and there is a red character in my mother's name." Long Yuehong subconsciously explained the origin of his name, and then, he sat on the back chair next to Shang Jianyao.
Jiang Baimian sat down, looked around, and said with a smile:
"Since everyone has arrived, let me briefly talk about the situation of our group."
"Are you here?" Long Yuehong blurted out.
There are only four of them?
How can a team of the "Security Department" have more than 20 people?
Jiang Baimian was stunned:
"What did you say?"
"He said there were too few people!" Shang Jianyao helped translate.
Jiang Baimian's eyebrows stretched and he said with a smile:
"We are not a combat team."
Not a combat team? Long Yuehong's heart was overjoyed.
Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao and said:
"The full name of our group is the 'Investigation Team on the Causes of the Destruction of the Old World', referred to as the 'Old Tune Team'.
"However, I am not the only old adjustment team, whether it is the security department or the board of directors, there are other old adjustment groups, but we don't know each other's specific situation.
"Remember! This is the point, confidentiality!
"Well, don't worry about repeated investigations, although we don't know what other old tune teams are and what the progress looks like, but the latest and most valuable clues will be shared with us."
Speaking of this, Jiang Baimian paused for a moment, and his expression became serious:
"Compared with ordinary combat teams, the 'Investigation Team for the Causes of Destruction of the Old World' may face more and greater dangers.
"Why are there so many micro-teams with the same task? It is because there was only one old investigation team in the past, with many people, and then, in an outing investigation, they completely disappeared and no one returned, and the corresponding losses were very heavy and difficult to make up."
Long Yuehong's face turned pale when he heard this:
"This, it's so dangerous......"
"What did you say?" Jiang Baimian only saw Long Yuehong's mouth moving, and almost didn't hear any sound.
Long Yuehong subconsciously looked at Shang Jianyao and found that he had a serious expression, remained silent, and had no idea of helping him translate.
Long Yuehong took a breath and shouted loudly:
"So dangerous?"
After roaring like this, he found that his emotions had eased a lot.
Jiang Baimian nodded:
"The Old Tunes team may go deep into the wilderness, investigate the ruins of cities, or go to other forces to find clues, and we will face all kinds of situations and encounter all kinds of enemies.
"It can be said that even senior employees of the security department are not too willing to join the old adjustment team."
Long Yuehong's face became more and more pale:
"How can we be so unlucky?"
After talking to himself, he roared:
"How can we be so unlucky?"
Jiang Baimian looked left and right with a slight confusion:
"I'm not unlucky...... I wasn't assigned, our old tune group was actually established with my application."
She smiled and added:
"I have always believed that it is necessary to figure out the reasons for the destruction of the old world, and only then can we avoid making the same mistakes, in order to find the root of the unintentional disease, to free all humanity from this fear.
"Moreover, you have also heard rumors that deep in the ruins of a certain city above the ashes, there is a gate to a new world, and if we never explore, we will never enter the new world, and we will always be accompanied by famine, infection, aberrations, and monsters.
"This is my dream, so I took the initiative to apply to the top management of the Ministry of Security, hoping to establish a new old adjustment team.
"Hehe, I also like to dig up the past history from the ruins of the city, like to observe the social conditions of other forces, and come into contact with people and things in different places and states."
Bai Chen, who was sitting quietly on the sofa, suddenly spoke:
"I heard someone mention you, and he said you are a 'sociologist' and his goddess."
Jiang Baimian smiled and said:
"Ah, what did you say? I didn't hear what you said in the end, forget it, you can talk about your own situation."
Bai Chen looked at Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong, and said in a slightly hoarse voice:
"I took the initiative to join. You may be able to see that I am not a person within the company, I used to be a wilderness wanderer, and then I was absorbed by the company, and I am not yet qualified as a regular employee, and the old adjustment team can help me complete this goal as soon as possible, improve the employee level as soon as possible, and at that time, I will be eligible to apply for genetic modification."
Jiang Baimian tilted his head, as if he hadn't heard Bai Chen's words clearly.
She asked with a smile:
"Is she talking bad about me behind my back?
"Hehe, we will definitely be active in the wilderness often, we need such a guide who is familiar with the wilderness and has dealt with multiple forces and settlements, regardless of her young age, she has a lot of experience."
After saying that, Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao:
"I've looked at your profile and can probably guess why you applied to join the old tune team.
"Is there any other reason besides that?"
"To save all mankind!" Shang Jianyao said loudly.
Jiang Baimian's expression was dumbfounded for a moment, and he raised his hand and touched his ears:
"Ah, what did you say?
"Hehe, no need to repeat it, Long Yuehong, why did you join?"
"I was assigned...... I just graduated this year, and I am unmarried and ...... married," Long Yuehong said crying.
After saying that, he reacted and repeated it loudly.
Jiang Baimian blinked:
"Among so many people, are you the only one who has not been successfully married?
"Among so many graduates, you may be the only one assigned to the Ministry of Security, and you are still in the old adjustment team?"
Long Yuehong nodded heavily.
Jiang Baimian thought for a while and smiled gently:
"People like you are generally called the chosen ones."
