Chapter 56 Meeting (Seeking Recommendation Votes)
Facing the heavy stone door embedded in the black metal wall, Shang Jianyao took a silent breath, leaned forward, and pressed his hands up.
In the three grooves above the stone door, brilliant light lit up one after another, just like stars falling here high in the sky.
Within these three "stars", illusory words tumbled and emerged, and quickly fixed, namely:
"Reasoning clown", "hypocritical person", "lack of hand movement".
Shang Jianyao concentrated slightly, and the white light representing the "Reasoning Clown" suddenly brightened and became brighter.
Almost at the same time, the gray stone door trembled gently, and in the sound of the rattling, it retreated heavily little by little, and kept retreating.
In just a few seconds, the gray and white stone door that had troubled Shang Jianyao for many days was completely opened.
He immediately withdrew his hands, inserted them into his trouser pockets, and stood quietly in place, staring behind the stone door.
There was a silver-white metal staircase standing silently, extending upwards with no end in sight.
On both sides of the stairs was boundless darkness, deep as if it could engulf the whole world.
"Sure enough...... Shang Jianyao whispered, pulled out his hands, took a step, passed through the door without any hesitation, and stepped on the stairs.
One-step, two-step, three-step...... Although he couldn't see the end of the stairs, he still walked calmly and powerfully, without hesitation or haste.
During this process, only his footsteps echoed around, and other than that, there was no movement.
This was superimposed on the deep darkness on both sides, bringing indescribable fear.
After walking up layer by layer, Shang Jianyao finally saw another color in the deep black.
It was a gray and white stone door similar to before, it was still embedded in a black metal wall with no visible boundaries between the upper and lower sides, and there were also three grooves above.
If it weren't for the change in the situation under his feet, if it weren't for the lack of "stars" around, Shang Jianyao would have thought he had returned to the original hall.
He thought for two seconds, quickened his pace, and came to the new stone gate with a run and jump.
Then, he turned his body slightly, put one hand in his pocket, and pressed the other hand on the door.
As he expected, in the three grooves on the gray and white stone door, white light rose one after another, converging into illusory stars.
In "Stars", countless words rolled over, and it didn't take long for them to be fixed, which was also the same:
"Reasoning clown", "hypocritical person", "lack of hand movement".
Among them, the white light representing the "Reasoning Clown" is much brighter than the other two groups.
Unfortunately, this time, the gray and white stone door only trembled slightly and did not retreat open.
Shang Jianyao nudged from one hand to gradually turning into two palms to exert force, and his back also bent down, as if he wanted to press the weight of his whole person on the stone door.
The heavy stone door shook unchanged, and the gap did not widen.
Shang Jianyao withdrew his hand, straightened his body, glanced at the rather bright "Reasoning Clown" and the slightly dim "Pretentious Man" and "Lack of Hand Movement", and nodded thoughtfully.
When these three white lights dimmed and disappeared one after another, Shang Jianyao's figure also blurred.
He really fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know how long it took, but Shang Jianyao suddenly felt his body shaking.
He instinctively opened his eyes and saw Jiang Baimian's black and straight eyebrows, as well as those bright and energetic eyes.
"What did you encounter?" Jiang Baimian saw that Shang Jianyao finally woke up, and breathed a sigh of relief without concealment.
Shang Jianyao thought seriously and replied:
"Sleeping too soundly."
Jiang Baimian's eyebrows moved lightly, as if he had used a lot of strength to restrain himself, while Long Yuehong, who was in the left seat in the back row, made a "pop" sound.
Bai Chen, who was in charge of driving, stepped on the accelerator and suddenly became heavier, and the jeep swished faster, almost breaking away from the "road" without any clutter.
After a few seconds of "......", Jiang Baimian exhaled slowly, "It seems that it has escaped the range of that abnormality. Bai Chen, find a more hidden place nearby to park."
She set her sights on Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong in the back row again:
"We will camp here for the next few days. After lunch, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen will catch up on sleep, and Shang Jianyao and I will be responsible for vigilance and patrol.
"Before the team sent by the company sent a signal, we trained in this area to survive in the wild."
"Yes, team leader." Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong had no objection.
…………
A day later, inside the old tune team camp.
Long Yuehong, who had just had lunch, took out a longan-sized fruit covered with a green and gray hard shell from her pocket.
He immediately bit open the shell with his teeth, revealing the tender white and plump flesh inside.
Long Yuehong sucked the overflowing juice first, and then sucked out the pulp and chewed it in her mouth.
"It's delicious......" he swallowed the pulp, and admired it sincerely.
In the past day of training, his biggest gain was to learn about this food called "fresh fruit".
This comes from a widespread drought-tolerant sclerophyll shrub that grows for a short time and lasts for a long time without any toxins. The only problem is that the yield is very small, and only a few shrubs can grow as a staple food, so no one will collect them on purpose.
According to Bai Chen, this is the best childhood memory of many wilderness wanderers.
Shang Jianyao also had fresh fruit in his hand, and he was stuffing the last ball of tender white pulp into his mouth.
The flesh of this wild fruit was not as soft and dense as he had initially thought, but rather a bit like an apple, with a crisp texture.
It had a slightly sour taste but didn't overshadow the sweetness, making me feel more energized the more I ate.
After chewing and swallowing a few thin seeds hidden in the pulp, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands and stood up.
Jiang Baimian was about to announce the start of training in the afternoon when he suddenly saw three fireworks exploding in the northern sky in a row, one yellow, one green, and one blue.
"The company's flare......" She frowned slightly, and said to herself in a loud voice, "It's coming too fast, right?"
"Someone forged it?" Bai Chen thought of a possibility.
Jiang Baimian carefully distinguished and shook his head:
"This is the company's special flare, outsiders can't forge it, and the color order is also correct.
"Perhaps, it just so happened that there was a team from the Security Department training nearby, and they came over directly? Or maybe the company has noticed the anomaly north of Yuelu Station a long time ago, the night we first heard the roar?"
After hearing this, Shang Jianyao suddenly smiled and said:
"Why don't you send Long Yuehong over to confirm it first?"
"Why me?" Long Yuehong asked in astonishment.
"I can only command you." Shang Jianyao was very calm.
Long Yuehong squinted at him, deliberately showing disdain.
At this time, Jiang Baimian smiled and said:
"What Shang Jianyao said also makes sense."
Long Yuehong's face suddenly turned slightly white.
Jiang Baimian continued:
"Let's return to the Black Rat Town area first, get nearby, and then send someone to wear an exoskeleton device and go over for reconnaissance."
Hearing the exoskeleton device, Long Yuehong regained his composure.
He raised his hand and patted his forehead, muttering in a low voice:
"How did I forget this ......?"
Jiang Baimian tilted his head, although he didn't hear clearly, but he still roughly guessed what Long Yuehong would say.
She smiled and retorted
"Do you think you are up to the task of reconnaissance?
"How many employees of the security department do you know?
"When I get there, even if I want to scout, I will definitely come."
After saying that, Jiang Baimian spread his legs and walked towards the jeep, leaving only one sentence:
"You guys clean up."
…………
Towards evening, the "Old Tune Team" returned to the hilly area where Black Rat Town was located.
After reconnaissance of Jiang Baimian wearing an exoskeleton device, they completely determined that it was the person who released the contact flare.
After putting down the exoskeleton device, Bai Chen drove and took Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong to the bottom of the hill.
There are more than a dozen "Pangu Creatures" employees dressed in gray and black costumes, holding standard "Berserker" assault rifles, blocking the road at different locations.
Bai Chen followed the gesture on the opposite side and stopped the jeep. Jiang Baimian opened the door first and walked over.
On the way, she took out a rectangular nameplate with gold letters on a red background and wore it on her chest.
On the nameplate, the words "Pangu Creature" reflect the sunset and shine.
Two fully armed employees wearing the same nameplate greeted them, one holding a handheld electronic device with a screen, and the other asked:
"Electronic card number."
「02310162155。」 Jiang Baimian skillfully spat out a string of numbers.
The security department employee holding the handheld device entered this string of numbers and called up the information related to Jiang Baimian.
He quickly compared the photos and features, raised his hand and bowed:
"Good evening, Team Leader Jiang."
When Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen verified the employee's electronic card number, the two security department employees on the opposite side gave way at the same time.
"Which brigade are you from? Why did you come so quickly?" Jiang Baimian asked casually.
The security department employee who asked for the electronic card number just now replied:
"After the news of the abnormality north of Yuelu Station came back, we set off, and we saw the emergency flare you fired on the way."
The employee holding the handheld electronic device added:
"We are from the 23rd Brigade."
Jiang Baimian was not surprised by their answer at all, and said with a lot of relief:
"How many groups are you here?"
"The whole brigade is here, and there are armored vehicles." The security department employees on the opposite side did not hide it.
"Not bad." Jiang Baimian had a slight smile on his face.
Within "Pangu Bio", the "Security Department" is responsible for external operations, and the basic unit is the combat team.
Each combat team ranges from 20 to 30 people, with a team leader (D7 level) and a deputy team leader (D4 to D6 levels are possible).
In order to facilitate command, the combat team is divided into smaller divisions - they often have three or four squads, each with a squad leader (D4 or D5 level).
Similarly, three combat teams form an action group. With additional personnel, an action group has about 100 people, and the captain level is generally D8.
Further up is the action group, between 400 and 500 people, which is the largest team of the Ministry of Security, and the corresponding supervisor is D9 level.
If a large-scale war breaks out, the action group will be in groups of several to temporarily form multiple action clusters, which will be commanded and controlled by different action group directors (M1 level management) - the big boss's exclusive guard, the operation group directly under the management, and the important project defense cluster are permanent exceptions, and the number of people is less than the real action cluster.
In other words, the action brigade can be regarded as the mainstay of the Ministry of Security.
"Where's your captain?" Jiang Baimian asked instead.
"In Black Rat Town." The employee holding the electronic device on the other side replied honestly.
Jiang Baimian nodded:
"Take us there, there is important information."
