Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 56 Meeting (recommendation ticket)

Facing the heavy stone gate inlaid on the black metal wall, Shang Jianyao took a silent breath and leaned forward. Pressed his hands up.

In the three grooves above the stone gate, bright radiance lights up one after another, as if there are few stars in the sky.

In these three “stars”, illusory texts are tumbling and appearing, and they are quickly fixed. They are: “inference clown”, “hypocritical person”, ” Loss of hand movement”.

Shang Jianyao’s concentration was a little bit, and the white light representing the “inference clown” suddenly brightened and became more dazzling.

Almost at the same time, the gray stone gate quivered slightly, and in the sound of Zaza, little by little backed heavily and kept backing.

In just a few seconds, the gray stone gate that had plagued Shang Jianyao for many days was completely opened.

He immediately retracted his hands, inserted his trouser pockets, and stood quietly on the spot, staring behind the stone gate.

There is a silver-white metal ladder standing silently, extending upward, without seeing the end.

There is boundless darkness on both sides of the stairs, as if it can swallow the entire world.

“Sure enough…Shang Jianyao whispered, drew out his hands, stepped forward, passed the gate without any hesitation, and stepped up the stairs.

One step, two steps, three steps ……Although he can’t see the end of the stairs, he still walks calmly and vigorously, without hesitation or haste.

In the process, only the sound of his footsteps reverberates around him, apart from this , There is no movement.

This superimposed with the darkness on both sides, brings the fear of hard to describe.

I don’t know how long I have been going up one by one. , Shang Jianyao finally saw another color in the deep black.

It was a gray-white stone gate similar to the previous one. It was still inlaid in the black metal wall where the upper, lower, left, and right boundaries could not be seen. There are also three A groove.

If it weren’t for a change in the situation at his feet, and if there were no “stars” around, Shang Jianyao thought he had returned to the original hall.

He thought about it. In two seconds, he quickened his pace and jumped to the new stone gate.

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 stone gate, the white light rises up one after another and aggregates into illusory stars.

In “Stars”, countless words roll, no It takes a long time to fix it, and the same is:

“inference clown”, “hypothetical person”, “absence of hands movement”.

Among them, white stands for “inference clown” light is much brighter than the other two groups.

Unfortunately, this time, the gray stone gate just quivered slightly and didn’t move back.

Shang Jianyao gently pushed from one hand, Gradually it became the palms exerting force, and the lower back also bent down, as if trying to put the weight of the whole person on the stone gate.

The shaking amplitude of the heavy stone gate remained unchanged, the gap No enlargement.

Shang Jianyao retracted his hand, straightened his body, and looked at the rather bright “Reference Clown” and the slightly bleak “Sympathetic Man” and “Lack of Hand Movement”, looking thoughtful and nodded.

Wait until these three groups of white light dim one after another, disappear ed, Shang Jianyao’s silhouette is also blurred.

He truly fell asleep.

I don’t know how long it took, Shang Jianyao suddenly felt his body shake.

He opened his eyes instinctively and saw Jiang Baiman’s black and straight eyebrows and those bright and energetic eyes.

“What happened?” Jiang Baiman saw Shang Jianyao finally wake up, relaxed without disguising.

Shang Jianyao thought about it seriously, replied:

“Sleep too sound.”

Jiang Baiman moved his eyebrows lightly, seeming to use a lot of strength to restrain For himself, Long Yuehong in the left seat of the back row made a “pu” voice.

Bai Chen, who was in charge of driving, got heavier when he stepped on the accelerator, and the Jeep swung faster, almost out of the “road” with no debris.

“Hoo…” After a few seconds, Jiang Baiman let out a sigh of relief, “It seems that he has fallen out of the abnormal range. Bai Chen, in the vicinity, find a relatively hidden place to park. “

She turned her eyes to Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong in the back row again:

“We will camp here in the next few days. After lunch, Long Yuehong, you will Sleeping with Bai Chen, Shang Jianyao and I are in charge of security and patrols.

“Before the team sent by the company sent a signal, we trained in this area to survive in the wild. “

“Yes, group leader. “Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong have no objection.

…………

One day later, in the old tune group camp.

Long Yuehong, who just had lunch From his pocket, he took out a dragon eye-sized fruit covering a blue-gray hard shell.

He then bit the shell with his teeth to reveal the tender white flesh inside.

p>

Long Yuehong first sucked the juice that overflowed from his mouth, and then sucked the pulp out and chewed it in his mouth.

“It’s delicious…” After he swallowed the pulp, he heartily Admired.

In the training of the past day, his biggest gain is to know this kind of food called “fresh fruit”.

This comes from a kind of widely distributed drought-tolerant type Sclerophyllous shrubs have a short growth time and can be stored for a long time without any toxins. The only problem is that the yield is very small, and a bush can only grow a few bushes. It cannot be used as a staple food and no one will collect it specially.

According to Bai Chen, this is the best childhood memory of many wilderness wanderers.

Shang Jianyao also has fresh fruits in his hands, and he is stuffing the last batch of tender flesh into his mouth.

The flesh of this wild fruit is not as soft and dense as he thought at first, but a bit like an apple, with a crisp taste.

Its taste is slightly sour, but not concealed. The sweetness makes people more energetic as they eat.

After chewing and swallowing a few thin seeds hidden in the flesh, Shang Jianyao patted his hands and stood up.

Jiang Baiman was about to announce the start of training in the afternoon, and suddenly saw three fireworks exploded in the northern sky, one yellow, one green, and one blue.

“The company’s flare…” She frowned slightly. The voice was not small and muttered to himself, “Is it too fast? “

“Someone forged it?” “Bai Chen thought of a possibility.

Jiang Baiman carefully distinguished, shook the head:

“This is a special signal flare made by the company, and outsiders cannot forge it, and the color sequence is also correct. .

“Perhaps, it happened that the Ministry of Security had a team in the vicinity to train and came directly? Or, the company has already noticed the abnormality north of Yuelu Station, the first time we heard roar That night?”

After finishing listening, Shang Jianyao suddenly said with a smile:

“Or, send Long Yuehong over to confirm it first?”

“Why me?” Long Yuehong asked in shock.

“I can only command to move you.” Shang Jianyao is very calm.

Long Yuehong squinted at him, deliberately showing disdain.

At this moment, Jiang Baiman smiled and said:

“Shang Jianyao also makes sense.”

Long Yuehong’s face suddenly turned pale.

Jiang Baiman continued:

“We first return to the Black Rat Town area, and when we get to the neighborhood, we will send someone to wear an external skeleton device and go to do a reconnaissance.”

Hearing the external skeleton device, Long Yuehong instantly regained his composure.

He raised his hand and patted his forehead, whispered: “Why did I forget this…”

Jiang Baiman tilted his head, although there was no Hear it clearly, but I guessed what Long Yuehong would say.

She smiled and retorted.

“Do you think you are qualified for the task of reconnaissance?

“How many security staff do you know?

“When you get there, even if you want to scout, it must be me.”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Baiman opened his legs and walked to the jeep, leaving only a fluttering sentence :

“You pack up.”

…………

Near the evening, the “Old Tune Team” returned to the hills where Black Rat Town was located. zone.

After reconnaissance by Jiang Baiman wearing an external skeleton device, they thoroughly determined that the person who released the contact flare was the “Panga”.

Putting on the outer skeleton device, Bai Chen drove and brought Jiang Baiman, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong to the bottom of the hill.

There are more than a dozen “Pangu Biology” employees wearing gray and black clothing. They are holding standard “Berserker” assault rifles, blocking the roads at different locations.

Bai Chen stopped the jeep in accordance with the opposite gesture. Jiang Baiman opened the door first and walked over.

On the way, she took out a rectangular nameplate with gold lettering on a red background and put it on her chest.

On the nameplate, the words “Pangu Biology” shone against the setting sun.

Two fully armed employees with the same nameplate greeted us. One was holding a handheld electronic device with a screen, and the other asked:

“Electronic card number. “

“02310162155.” Jiang Baiman spit out a series of numbers expertly.

The security department employee holding the handheld device entered this string of numbers and called up Jiang Baiman-related information.

He quickly compared the photos and features, and raised his hand to give a salute:

“Good evening, Captain Jiang.”

Wait until Shang Jianyao, After Long Yuehong and Bai Chen verified the employee’s electronic card number, the two security staff on the opposite side stepped aside at the same time.

“Which brigade are you from? Why did you come so fast?” Jiang Baiman asked casually.

The employee of the security department who just asked for the electronic card number replied:

“After the news of an abnormality north of Yuelu Station came back, we set off and saw you launch it on the way Emergency signal flare.”

The employee with the handheld electronic device added:

“We are from the 23rd Brigade.”

Jiang Baiman gave them a little answer Not surprisingly, I was relieved a lot:

“How many teams have you come?”

“The whole brigade is here, and there are armored vehicles.” The security department employee on the opposite side No concealment.

“Yes.” Jiang Baiman showed a small smile on his face.

Within “Pangu Biology”, the “Ministry of Security” is responsible for external operations, and the basic unit is the combat team.

Each combat team has 20 to 30 people. There is a team leader (DLevel 7) and a Vice Group Leader (D4 to DLevel 6 are possible).

In order to facilitate command, there are more detailed divisions within the combat team-they often set up three to four shifts, each with a squad leader (D4 or DLevel 5).

Similarly, three combat teams form an action group. With additional personnel, an action brigade is about 100 people, and the Captain level is generally DLevel 8.

Up there is the action group, between 400 and 500 people. This is the largest team of the Ministry of Security, and the corresponding supervisor is D9.

If a large-scale war breaks out, several action groups will be formed in groups to temporarily form multiple action clusters, which are commanded and controlled by different action cluster directors (MLevel 1 management)-Big Boss Exclusive guards, action clusters directly under the management, and important project defense clusters are permanent exceptions, and the number of people is less than the real action clusters.

In other words, the operation team can be regarded as the mainstay of the establishment of the Ministry of Security.

“Where are you Captain?” Jiang Baiman asked instead.

“In Black Mouse Town.” The employee who was holding the electronic device on the opposite side replied obediently and honestly.

Jiang Baiman nodded:

“Take us over, there is important information.”
