"Long Ye Yu Huo ( to find the latest chapter!

After opening the door with the brass-colored key, Shang Jianyao, with the light of the street lamp on the ceiling, saw the familiar wooden bed, sink, expansion screws, red lacquered wooden table and matching chair.

It was exactly the same as when he left.

Thanks to the good ventilation system of the underground building and the unique geographical environment, Shang Jianyao did not even feel the room was dull, nor did he see any obvious dust accumulation.

He stepped in slowly, closed the door with his backhand, took off the worn-out rag hanging on the side of the sink, unscrewed the tap to wet it.

Then, Shang Jian Yao sometimes bends down, sometimes squats down, and wipes everything that can be wiped.

When he finished all this, it was exactly 7 o'clock.

Shang Jianyao, who had already taken a bath and changed into regular clothes in the security department, immediately took the key and went out to the "Activity Center" on this floor.

Along the way, the employees who had had dinner returned one after another, and many of them knew Shang Jian Yao.

They nodded each other as a greeting.

Soon, Shang Jianyao arrived at the "Activity Center" in Area C, and saw a few young men squatting or standing at the door chatting, while Shen Du came oncoming.

The middle-aged man who "guided" Shang Jianyao to join the "Life Sacrifice" Order showed surprise:

"Little businessman, have you come back from work?"

Shang Jian Yao smiled and replied:

"Well, I came back from picking up trash."

"..." Shen Du was a little bit unable to understand Shang Jianyao's answer, and turned to explain, "I listened to Lao Chen. I didn't see you for a few days. I thought something happened to you, so he told me. , You joined the security department and went out to work."

"It's a pity," Shang Jianyao responded.

"..." Shen Du couldn't keep up with his thoughts at all, so he could only tell himself with a smile, "Everyone misses you so much, see you later."

Shang Jianyao showed a distressed expression:

"Unfortunately, I didn't bring you any gifts.

"How about I do a show?"

"No, no need." Shen Du found himself talking completely.

He also hinted at the meeting tomorrow morning, and hurriedly bid farewell to Shang Jian Yao.

Shang Jianyao then entered the "Activity Center" and greeted people he knew or did not know.

"Activity Center" director Chen Xianyu was sitting on the small creaking bench and saw Shang Jian Yao coming in, hurriedly raised his right arm, beckoned, and motioned to him to come to him.

"How? How is the harvest this time?" He asked curiously.

Before Shang Jian Yao answered, he pointed to the odds and ends in front of him:

"Do you want the old man to help you sell?

"Only draw few contribution points."

Shang Jian Yao squatted down, picked up the broken mechanical watch that Old Man Chen hadn't sold for a long time, and asked seriously:

"Are the armored vehicles too crowded here?"

"?" Chen Xianyu didn't understand what the other party meant for a while.

Shang Jianyao continued to ask:

"Can heavy machine guns be sold in such a place?"

"You are dead when you are a company!" Old man Chen cursed instinctively, "They will definitely let you hand in this kind of thing! Uh...Yes, you just came back, and all the gains are still under review. Know what you can get in the end."

Having said that, Chen Xianyu scolded with a smile:

"This kind of thing, you can just say it directly, why go around such a big circle?

"Also armored vehicles, heavy machine guns, why didn't you say you got a military exoskeleton device?"

Shang Jian Yao thought for a while:

"It depends on whether you really want it.

"such a pity……"

"It's a pity!" Chen Xianyu cursed smoothly, then turned to care, "How about? This time the field work is going well, right?"

Shang Jianyao recalled:

"Very exciting."

"Exciting ghost!" Chen Xianyu said with a laugh, "What kind of dangerous field missions can you novices have? At most, they will play rabbits in the surrounding areas of the company and play wild survival."

Shang Jian Yao gave a "um":

"The rabbit is really hard to deal with."

"Haha." Chen Xianyu made a mocking voice, "I remember that I used a rifle from the old world to beat rabbits first, and it should be eliminated now. In short, the whole rabbit was broken after one shot. My heart aches. what……"

At this time, an employee turned over to look at the items on the stall, and Old Man Chen quickly gave an introduction and stopped talking to Yao.

Shang Jian Yao slowly straightened his body, walked to the most empty place in the corner of the "Activity Center", pulled a chair, and sat down.

He didn't find anyone to chat, and looked around quietly:

A bunch of men gathered around a small wooden table, playing cards. Whoever loses the game will have his stool removed and can only squat and play;

Next to them, there were more people crowded, some held up their hands and made comments, some sighed loudly and expressed regret, some laughed and laughed constantly, some frequently urged and wanted to play;

A little further away, these women, Ren Jie, sat together, chatting about various rumors within the company. Some of them were still distracted by using rag heads to wear soles, using wool exchanged from the "material supply market" to knit children for the winter Use plastic bottles that have been passed down for generations to feed the baby;

In the other corner, several pairs of young people each occupy one side, whispering there. In front of them, some packed candies and snacks are placed in front of them, and some are pebbled with orange or green glass bottles. These are all " The luxury goods exchanged in the “material supply market” are generally only exchanged during the New Year’s and holidays, but young people who have just been assigned to work and are in a relationship stage are relatively lavish, and they can still eat and drink at home anyway;

Outside the window of the "Activity Center", on the edge of the ceiling street lamp shining, and the hidden place between the two rows of houses, the shadows of the figures shook, sometimes elongated and sometimes separated;

On the way to the "material supply market", someone carried empty glass bottles of different colors, and wanted to exchange some contribution points;

Inside and outside the house, all the relatively empty places have become a battlefield for children running around...

Shang Jian Yao looked at this scene with a calm expression and no movement.

After he didn't know how long he watched, Long Yuehong walked in from the door.

After greeted each other in turn, Long Yuehong found Shang Jian Yao in the corner:

"How did you come?"

He remembers that Shang Jianyao likes to stay at home at this time, waiting for the hourly news and various radio programs afterwards.

Moreover, just coming back from outside this time, I definitely need more rest.

Shang Jian Yao did not answer Long Yuehong's question, and asked with a smile:

"Why didn't you find that Feng, the girl at the radio station?"

"Feng Yunying." Long Yuehong sat down and sighed for a long time. "I just went to find and found that she was in love with someone else."

Shang Jian Yao followed with a sigh:

"Hey, I have done genetic modification before..."

"Stop!" Long Yuehong interrupted him forcibly, and then turned to say, "Actually, I can understand that it takes a month after I go out. I don't know when I can come back, and I don't know if I can come back, and we also I just met, and even my friends are reluctant. How could she wait for me?"

Shang Jianyao glanced at Long Yuehong:

"Do you know what I want to say?"

Long Yuehong replied with a solemn expression:

"This is the dust."

"No." Shang Jianyao shook his head, "Even if you don't go to work, there is little hope."

"..." Long Yuehong didn't know whether to cry or to be angry, "You are so hurtful when you speak!"

"Let your mother introduce you another one." Shang Jianyao pressed the table with one hand and stood up.

"Well, there are at least two months left before the next outing..." Long Yuehong nodded and asked, "Are you going back?"

Before Shang Jian Yao responded, he said to himself:

"Also ~www.readwn.com~ After returning from the outside, I feel at ease and relaxed.

"When I relax, I feel very tired."

While speaking, he also stood up:

"Go back to sleep."

Shang Jianyao glanced at him:

"The hourly news is about to begin."

"You're not tired, you still listen to the whole news?" Long Yuehong was a little surprised.

As soon as his voice fell, he suddenly realized:

In the "Old Tune Group", I feel so tired, maybe only myself...

Seeing Yao stopped talking, Shang waved his hand, bid farewell to Long Yuehong, and returned to his home.

Under the white light of the ceiling fluorescent lamp, his shadow sometimes lengthened and sometimes shortened.

Before long, Shang Jian Yao opened the door and entered the room, took off his jacket, and leaned back on the bed.

He didn't turn on the light, and let the light from outside shine through the window, making the room half bright and half dark without a clear dividing line.

In this quietness, the loudspeakers hanging from the ceiling outside first made a noise, then a sweet voice with a childish feel:

"Hello everyone, I am Hou Yi, the hourly news announcer. It is 8 o'clock in the evening...

"Today, the director of the company's board of directors and vice president Lin Yang inspected the'energy zone' and emphasized the need to ensure energy supply in winter...

"According to the Forecast of the Surface Meteorological Institute, in the next few days, a cold wave will descend from the ice sheet and the black marsh wilderness will drop by 5 degrees Celsius...

"...Today, another case of'indifferent disease' occurred in the factory area, and the patients have been under control...

"...The Entertainment Department invites the heads of all units to discuss year-end reports on performances...

"..."

The sound of the broadcast echoed in the slightly cold room, which made the place a little more angry.
