Embers Ad Infinitum

　　 Shendu immediately smiled:

　　 "Go with that piece, and avoid..."

　　 Before he finished speaking, he looked up at the ceiling and signaled Shang Jian Yao to be careful.

　　 Every floor of the “living area” is equipped with surveillance cameras, but not many, only at key intersections and indoor public places.

　　 Comparatively speaking, no matter the "inner ecological zone" or the "factory zone", there are many more surveillance cameras, but they are far behind the "research zone" and the "management zone".

　　 Shang Jian Yao followed Shen Du's gaze, looked at the intersection ahead, and said with a smile:

　　 "It may not open at all."

　　 "Yes." Shen Du even agreed with Shang Jianyao's statement.

　　 This is because similar situations within the company are too common. From time to time, it is revealed that certain equipment has long been damaged and has been unusable, and it is usually just a matter of pretending to be there.

　　 It is said that this is related to the chaos that occurred when some surviving humans rushed into the underground building in the destruction of the old world.

　　 Moreover, the new calendar is 46 years old. It is very normal for some equipment to be damaged. The corresponding production line may not be rebuilt due to resource shortage, technology loss, lack of information, etc., so it cannot be replaced and repaired.

　　 "But, you still have to be careful. The company has been very strict with regard to religious matters." Shen Du exhorted, holding a flashlight and walking forward.

　　 At the intersection, he turned off the flashlight and turned to the right by carefully moving it against the wall.

　　 Shang Jian Yao followed him, and once again turned his eyes to the surveillance camera on the ceiling of the intersection.

　　 There is a red dot flashing slowly.

　　 Shang Jian Yao looked at the red spot, suddenly raised his hands, pinched both cheeks, and pulled the corners of his mouth upwards.

　　 He made a face.

　　 Then, he rubbed the facial muscles touched by the flashlight, learned to be calm, and moved against the wall.

　　 After going around for a while, Shen Du stopped in front of Gate 35 in Area A.

　　 He immediately raised his left hand and tapped it three times.

　　 "New life is like the sun." A deliberately low voice came from the room.

　　 Shendu stretched his neck forward, and responded with the same deep voice:

　　 "Life is the heaviest."

　　 There was a creak, and the door of the room opened, and a dim light streaming out, shaking gently.

　　 "This is?" The woman opening the door saw Shang Jian Yao behind Shen Du's side.

　　 She is in her thirties and has obviously undergone genetic improvements. Her eyebrows are black and straight, her nose is high, and the corners of her eyes are raised. She is beautiful and has her own characteristics.

　　 Shang Jian Yao stepped forward and said sincerely:

　　 "This is my first time to participate.

　　 "Uncle Shen brought me here."

　　 The woman's slightly frowned brows gradually stretched out, and said thoughtfully:

　　 "It turned out to be a new church member."

　　 She glanced left and right, then let go:

　　 "Come in quickly, don't let others see."

　　 Shen Dujian recognized Shang Jian Yao's identity. Without any doubt, she strode into the room and turned off the flashlight.

　　 Shang Jian Yao followed behind, looked around, and took the situation in the room completely into his eyes.

　　 This room is much larger than what he currently lives in, and there is a door on the innermost wall, indicating that there is an inner bedroom, bathroom or kitchenette.

　　 This reminds Shang Jianyao of his previous home, which shows that the owner of this room is either D4 or above, or one of them has reached the D7 group leader level.

The outside room is about 2.5 meters wide and nearly 5 meters deep. On the innermost wall are a wardrobe and a cupboard. Separating the two pieces of furniture by a bedside table is a double bed. It lies horizontally on the bed. The foot position leaves an aisle leading to the inner lying.

　　The big bed is a small living room composed of back chairs, square stools, low stools, coffee table, desk and cloth sofa.

　　 At this time, two candles were lit on the coffee table, creating a dim light, and there were many people sitting around, including men and women, old and strong.

　　 Shang Jian Yao didn't count, but looking at the posture full of seats, I think there are at least ten people.

　　 "Small business, make a registration first." The woman who opened the door took out the soft-shell notebook from nowhere.

　　 Shang Jian Yao took the pen and wrote his name on the blank page opened by the other party.

　　 "Do you know me?" He looked curious.

　　 The woman smiled and said:

　　 "When your parents lived here, we were barely neighbors.

　　 "However, you should not remember me, you can call me Aunt Li."

　　 "Well, Aunt Li." Shang Jian Yao was not polite at all.

　　 "Okay, go and sit down. The'Guide' is about to start preaching." The woman surnamed Li pointed to an empty stool.

　　 "Where are you sitting?" Shang Jianyao asked politely.

　　 "I can sit by the bed." The woman surnamed Li replied with a smile.

　　 Seeing Yao did not ask more, Shang walked a few steps and sat down.

　　 After about two or three minutes, the door leading to the inner bed opened, and a figure walked out.

　　 This person is not unfamiliar with Yao. It is Aunt Ren Jieren who he met at the "Activity Center" in the evening, serving as a D3 employee of the company's "Strategic Committee".

　　 At this time, Ren Jie still wore the polyester shirt, but changed to a pair of gray trousers. The face of Jiaohao, who can see the traces of years, has a holy and dignified expression.

　　 She walked between the big bed and the closet and cupboard, and swept in the direction of everyone.

　　 "Little businessman?" She saw Shang Jian Yao who was sitting upright at a glance.

　　 Shang Jian Yao stood up, took two steps forward, and said hello:

　　 "Aunt Ren, I just registered.

　　 "Uncle Shen brought me here."

　　 Ren Jie's eyes moved slightly, as if thinking about something, then she smiled:

　　 "It turned out to be so, it has passed the inspection."

"sit down."

　　 When Shang Jian Yao sat down again, she looked at the crowd and said:

　　 "Since there are new church members participating, let me briefly introduce our church."

　　 Happiness, Shang Jianyao applauded warmly.

　　 Shendu and others turned their heads, or turned sideways, and looked at him with the same blank eyes.

　　Ren Jie probably heard that Shang Jian Yao belongs to a person with a more detached personality. She was taken aback for a moment, and laughed:

　　 "No need to do this, this is not a company meeting."

　　 She paused for two seconds, and after Shang Jian Yao stopped, she said in a deep voice:

　　 "All of us here have never left the company, and have never really set foot on the surface.

　　"The conditions of the dirt we know only come from the company's broadcasts, the introduction of teaching materials, and the descriptions of the surrounding ‘safety department’ employees, all of which have undergone confidential screening in advance.

　　 "We don't really understand dust, just like we have never really seen the sky."

　　 Her gaze swept around and fell on Shang Jianyao's face:

"We know that after the destruction of the old world, after a long period of chaos and strife, mankind finally rebuilt order in some areas. With the new calendar, we also know that the shadows are still shrouded in dust and the land of order is in the chaotic zone. No man’s land and various wilderness mountains are like the islands in the textbook to the sea. Pollution, distortion, and famine are like ocean tides, coming one after another, endless.

"The most deadly disease is innocence, which is the animalized disease in the textbook. To this day, we still have no grasp of its pathogenesis and transmission rules. We and the people around us may degenerate into real ones as soon as we wake up. 'Beasts' cannot communicate, only the instinct to prey."

　　 Ren Jie took a sigh of relief and continued:

　　 "This is what we know, so what is it that we don't know?

"　　" is why the old world was destroyed, and why the new order can be rebuilt.

　　" Above the dust, among many human beings, such rumors spread:

　　" Certain actions in the old world angered the gods and were destroyed by them. The surviving people passed the test and were saved by them.

　　 "Part of this rumor is true, and part of it is false.

"It is true that there are indeed a group of gods in this world. They are in charge of the years and manage different months, so they are honored as "holding years". Of course, some people call them "the perfect people" and "years." "God", "Blue God", "Savior", "Painted in the Past", "Princess of the Present".

　　"The falsehood is that the ‘soldiers’ did not destroy the old world when they were offended. This is just an inevitable result of normal development.

　　"Life is noble and sacred, but it will pass away, and so will the world. It's like the old year will always come to the end of the year and prepare to enter the new year.

"Our religious group is called the'Life Sacrifice', and it believes in the most special one among the'Responsible Years', who is in charge of the'Mingming' in December. He is the end of the year, but it also symbolizes the coming of the new year. , He is the terminator of the old world and the initiator of the new world."

　　 Ren Jie said here, except for Shang Jianyao, everyone else stretched out their arms together, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com embraced the baby, gently shaking:

　　 "In the end it will be his life."

　　 Their voices were deep but clear, and they merged into one, echoing in the room.

　　 Ren Jie looked at Shang Jian Yao and continued:

"The new world is in fact still in the future. Now is the stage when the gods are testing sentient beings. Only by faithfully believing in the commander and entrusting himself to the commander in a sacrificial way can he enter the new world and get rid of the cycle of years, gain eternal life, and no longer suffer ."

　　 "Praise your tolerance!" The congregation once again shook their arms and spoke in a low voice.

　　 Shang Jian Yao learned their actions:

　　 "Praise your tolerance."

　　 Ren Jie nodded with satisfaction, and then said:

　　 "Okay, we officially start the sermon.

　　"Our life sacrifice sect worships life and fears death, so we look at rebirth and funerals most.

　　 "Today's content is mainly about new students."

　　 Shang Jian Yao sat with his back upright, and listened very seriously, just like the people around him.

　　 Ren Jie's voice gradually softened, and her expression became more holy:

　　 "We should let the baby sleep on his back;

　　"We should let babies develop the habit of playing during the day and sleeping at night;

　　"We hum a song when the baby falls asleep;

　　"We should carefully distinguish the cry of a baby:

　　 "Short and low, high and sometimes low is hunger; fierce is angry; suddenly loud, very sharp, and pause for a long time, turning into a gentle sorrow, pain...

　　"Let's pat the baby on the back to let him out of his stomach...

　　 "When we are holding a baby, we hold his head...

　　 "We must breastfeed..."

　　 Shang Jian Yao's eyes were gradually dull, and his mouth opened slightly, unable to close.
