Embers Ad Infinitum

　　 Two months passed in a flash.

　　In the elevator leading to the 647th floor, Long Yuehong, wearing a polyester shirt, looked at herself reflected on the metal wall of the elevator, and squeezed her chest muscles:

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

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

　　 Shang Jianyao observed the seam of the elevator door:

　　 "Hey, I made a genetic modification and only 1.75 meters long. I look average and have average grades..."

　　 "..." Long Yuehong didn't know what expression to use to respond.

　　 He took a deep breath and exhaled heavily:

　　 "Really, I have eaten meat every day for these two months, why didn't I grow a centimeter taller?"

　　 While talking, the two got out of the elevator and turned into Room 14 skillfully.

　　 They still 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 clothes that are more convenient for fighting, so they can only report to Jiang Baimian first, and then go to the bathhouse changing room.

　　 At this time, both Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen had arrived, and they gathered around the brown-red desk belonging to the former, watching something seriously.

　　 "Good morning, team leader!" Shang Jian Yao and Long Yuehong are used to shouting.

　　 Jiang Baimian raised his head and waved:

　　 "Come here, I have something to tell you."

　　 Long Yuehong glanced at Shang Jianyao and found that he didn't seem to know what was going on.

　　 The two walked over and saw a very low-precision map spread out on Jiang Baimian's brown-red painted desk.

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

　　"Today’s training program is:

　　 "Outdoor 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 Jian Yao didn't speak, but the smile on his face couldn't hide it.

　　 Jiang Baimian looked around and said:

　　 "I originally planned to start again in two days, but it happened that a small task was given above. It was necessary to send a water purification device filter chip to a wilderness homeless settlement, so let's set off today.

　　 "Bai Chen, tell them the final destination and the approximate route."

　　 Bai Chen, who is still wearing a gray scarf, held the edge of the table with one hand, and tapped a place on the map with the other:

"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 to drive and we can get there in one day. Unfortunately, there is no good road in the black marsh wilderness. Perhaps there was a short section of the old-world road in the middle that was well preserved. It was just a lot of weeds and some cracks on the road, but that was just an example."

　　Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong both knew that "black marsh wilderness" refers to the dangerous area outside the company.

　　 It occupies a very large area, the most 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". If you go to the southeast for a long time, you will enter the "First City".

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

　　Bai Chen continued to explain:

"You should have seen that there is a'big swamp' between us and Qifeng Town. Many places are marked with high-risk symbols. According to my experience, these places either have no roads at all, are pure swamps, or are distorted and terrifying. Monsters or groups of monsters are entrenched, or there are the ruins of the old world, the kind that you can't return once you go.

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

"Combining the above conditions and the geographical situation of the Big Swamp, I have planned two routes: They all need to be interspersed back and forth in the Big Swamp, and it takes about the same time. It takes a week or even two weeks to reach Qifeng Town. It depends on the details. Weather conditions.

　　 "Which route do you prefer? Or, do you want to surround the swamp from the outside? It will take longer and the level of danger may not be much lower.

　　 "Well, my understanding of the Big Swamp is not too detailed. I haven't visited many places. You can provide other opinions."

　　 Before Jiang Baimian could speak, Shang Jianyao stepped forward and pointed to one of the routes:

　　 "This one is good."

　　 "Why?" Bai Chen asked subconsciously.

　　 Then, she deeply regretted 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 Baimian rubbed his chin and said:

　　 "I agree with Shang Jian Yao's choice. Since there is no essential difference between the two routes, I must choose the better one.

　　 "It was so pleasantly decided!"

After 　　, she looked at Shang Jian Yao and Long Yuehong, pointed to her electronic watch and said:

　　 "You have 15 minutes to prepare."

　　 "Only 15 minutes?" Long Yuehong's face almost wrinkled.

　　 "14 minutes 55 seconds." Jiang Baimian looked at the electronic watch and responded without raising his head.

　　 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 sweat profusely every day, they put a lot of clothing here for easy replacement.

——In the company, due to the lack of sunlight and the cold at night, the employees could not dry the clothes. The "Training and Security Department" sent people to take them away, clean them, dry them, and return them (small items next to the body). You can hang it on top of your own sink, or put a basin underneath to catch the water droplets).

　　 Shang Jianyao took out a camouflage backpack that was provided by the security department, opened the zipper, and stuffed one of the uniforms in it.

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

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

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

After 　　 bent over and fastened the straps of the leather boots, Shang Jian Yao straightened up, walked to the half-length mirror, and sorted up his top.

　　 In the mirror, he has straight eyebrows, bright brown eyes, clean black hair, and a deep and rigid face.

　　 is paired with the uniform of the security department with a sense of design and military character, Shang Jian Yao looks both sunny and powerful.

　　 Looking at himself in the mirror, Shang Jian Yao slowly took out a nameplate from his pocket and put it on his left chest.

　　The nameplate has a red base, and four golden gray texts are highlighted on the surface:

　　 "Pangu Biology".

　　…………

　　 After leaving the locker room, Shang Jianyao waited for two minutes, and when Long Yuehong was ready, he returned to Room 14 together.

　　Long Yuehong glanced at Shang Jianyao, then glanced again, finally couldn't help but speak:

　　 "Don't you think I am different?"

　　 Shang Jian Yao gave him a sideways glance, and said nothing.

　　Long Yuehong raised her arm and said:

　　 "I'm not nervous! Didn't you find that I was not nervous?

　　 "If it were before, I would have been scared and pessimistic, but now it's just a field training, I think I can handle it.

　　 "The two months of training are really useful."

　　 Shang Jian Yao slowed down, and looked up and down Long Yuehong.

　　 Suddenly, he smiled:

　　 "Your legs are shaking."

　　 "..." Long Yuehong's expression suddenly collapsed.

　　Shang saw Yao ignored him and walked to Room 14.

　　Long Yuehong came back to her senses, looked down at her 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 Baimian glanced over, and landed on 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, the nameplate will only bring danger. Those robbers and wanderers on the dust don't care if they are big forces. Sometimes, if they can't grab something, they may not even survive today. It is meaningless to consider whether attacks on members of the big forces will bring serious consequences."

　　 Shang Jian Yao nodded lightly and said loudly:

　　 "Sense of ritual!"

　　 "...If you leave the company, take it off, let's set off now." Jiang Baimian rubbed his forehead.

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

　　 Entering the elevator, Jiang Baimian took out his electronic card and swiped it, and pressed the number "650".

　　In just a few seconds, the elevator finished its ascent and opened the car door and hall door.

The 650th floor is the closest floor to the ground in the "Pangu Biology" underground building. There are almost no free-moving figures here. Only the walls made of silver and white metal, the aisles separated by heavy doors and the security department holding weapons stand guard. Employees exist.

　　 Jiang Baimian swiped his electronic card again and 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 Baimian chose one at random, swiped his card and pressed the metal key corresponding to the "surface area".

　　 The elevator slowly moved up, and what appeared in front of Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and others was a wide square with a metal dome and steel brackets above it.

　　 "Parking lot." Jiang Baimian introduced with a smile.

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

　　 Jiang Baimian quickly found the car assigned to him:

　　 It was a gray-green four-seater jeep with a high chassis and large wheels, which was very impressive.

　　 Jiang Baimian immediately opened the trunk and pointed to the left:

"This is the weapon for this field training. The company's 9mm bullet pistol is called'Ice Moss'. It is an imitation of the'Red River' gun of the'First City'. This kind of bullet is the most common and easiest to replenish. "

　　 "Ice Moss" pistol is silver-white all over, with anti-slip patterns on the grip.

　　 Jiang Baimian continued:

　　 "One for each person, and also one for each person, "United 202".

　　"These two are assault rifles, you know, the company’s Berserker, they use 5.56mm bullets...

　　"This is the'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, each with a few magazines."

Shang Jian Yao and Long Yuehong have been accustomed to seeing all kinds of weapons during this time. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is not familiar with them anymore, calmly picked up "Ice Moss" and "United 202" and hung them to the waist. Armed belt between.

　　 Jiang Baimian pointed to the carton on the right again:

　　"Military cans, energy bars, compressed biscuits, these are our supplies.

　　 "Hehe, they will definitely not be able to support us to reach Qifeng Town. The remaining part needs to be obtained by ourselves in the wild. This is part of the training."

　　 "Yes, team leader!" Bai Chen, Shang Jianyao and others were not surprised at all.

　　 "Okay, get in the car." Jiang Baimian waved his hand quite proudly.

　　Because Shang Jian Yao and Long Yuehong can't drive yet, the two ladies sat in the front row and prepared to take turns driving.

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

　　 In the simulated sound waves, Jiang Baimian activated the four-door jeep, letting it pass through checkpoints and separation gates one after another in the parking lot.

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

　　 "The last door."

　　 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 Baimian drove the jeep and rushed to the metal gate.

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

　　 This is their first trip to the surface since they were born.

　　 As the Jeep approached, the opposite silver door opened slightly backwards.

　　 was shining with golden light, not as white as a fluorescent lamp, nor as yellow as a candle flame.

　　 Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong shrank their bodies at the same time, raised their right hand, and stood in front of them.

　　 The light is a bit dazzling.
