Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 12: A fulfilling day

Views:

In Room 15 on the 647th floor, Shang Jian Yao, who had changed into a gray uniform, pushed the door open.

Long Yuehong followed closely behind him and looked around curiously.

What caught his eye were all kinds of weapons, some long, some short, some silver-white, some iron-black, some were placed on the table, some were hung, and so on. It's like opening a hot weapons expo.

Frankly speaking, Long Yuehong had only seen the term expo in books, and had heard the teacher explain the general meaning, but had never encountered it in real life.

The only event that made him feel close to the exposition was the "Exhibition of New Varieties of Experimental Fields" held by the "Inner Ecological Zone" a few years ago.

Now, he feels that the exposition should be what it looks like.

Jiang Baimian stood by the door, looked at Shang Jianyao and nodded in approval:

"Wear out the temperament, wear out the style!"

The uniform of the Ministry of Security is well designed and quite stylish, but Shang Jianyao is tall, strong, thin in clothes, and masculine, showing the handsome and cool feeling of clothes to the fullest.

"This dress is not very good." Shang Jianyao frowned slightly and replied.

"Why?" Bai Chen next to him asked in surprise.

Seeing this, Jiang Baimian opened his mouth and muttered:

"I think it's better to ignore what he said..."

At the same time, the corners of Shang Jianyao's mouth opened, and he answered Bai Chen's question with a smile:

"Can't dance the Gold Coast Hula."

"..." Bai Chen.

"...I sometimes really don't know if you're joking, or if there's something wrong with your brain." Jiang Baimian scolded with a smile and looked sideways at Long Yuehong, "Don't be in a daze, go over there and start the class!"

She paused, swept her eyes from top to bottom, and said with a smile:

"Very energetic, much more handsome than before."

Just now because the two ladies were concerned about Shang Jianyao and ignored themselves, Long Yuehong, who was a little low and inferior, said with her back straight:

"Yes, team leader!"

When he arrived at the long table Jiang Baimian pointed to, Bai Chen picked up a pistol with a silver body and a black anti-slip material on the handle and said:

"It's a love-hate gun for relic hunters and wilderness robbers alike.

"See? It has a thick and long barrel, and uses 11.18 mm bullets, so it is very powerful and can be used to hunt larger beasts. There are several similar to it, right next to it, some called a boa constrictor.

"It has a lot of recoil, and it can't be controlled without a strong enough body. Well, you should have all received genetic modification, and there should be no problem.

"It's prototype comes from the ruins of the old world city. This is the latest production of 'United Industries'. The model is 202. The disadvantage is that it is easier to jam than other types of pistols. Be sure to pay attention to this when using it... "

Bai Chen explained, and told Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong about the general situation of the "United 202" pistol, the gun body structure and the experience of using it.

After teaching this, Bai Chen picked up a black pistol on the other long table:

"This one uses a 7.62mm bullet, which is powerful, small in size, feels good in the hand, has high precision, is easy to carry, and is easy to maintain. It's just not very friendly to people with larger palms, but it's great for me... At present, the two common types in the wilderness are the Wubei 6 and Wubei 7 produced by the 'Salvation Army'. One of the differences between them is that there are certain problems in the design of the former, and the jam rate is comparable to that of the 'United 202'. In addition... ”

"... This one uses a 14.5mm bullet, the power can be imagined, it comes from the ruins of the city of Tieshan, but the 'Orange Company' has imitations, we call it 'Fat Man'... But in sniper rifles, it is not the most powerful Easy to use, I prefer 'Hawkeye' and 'God's Eye', well, it's over there..."

"...The best sniper rifles are actually Gauss rifles and plasma rifles, but there are none here. It is not the elite teams that encountered the major forces of 'First City' and 'United Industries', which are basically not encountered in the wilderness."

"...this is my favorite submachine gun, nicknamed 'short neck'..."

Bai Chen introduced and explained them one by one, and Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong listened very attentively, getting familiar with them from time to time.

Jiang Baimian did not interrupt the lecture, but just pointed to a thick steel pipe on a nearby table when Bai Chen was thirsty to drink water:

"Guess what weapon it is?"

Looking at the past, Long Yuehong read five gray texts from the steel pipe:

"Linnan Steel Pipe Factory".

"Haha." Jiang Baimian smiled, "It's actually a single-soldier combat bazooka, but the main components come from a seamless steel pipe factory of the 'Salvation Army'. Okay, you guys continue."

At 6:20 in the evening, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong, who had showered and changed into their daily clothes, each took a lunch box and found a seat in the canteen on the 647th floor. It opens at 10:00, 20 minutes earlier than the "living area".

"It hurts all over the body, and the team leader is too ruthless." Long Yuehong touched the bruise on his body when he sat down, and the pain made him grin and couldn't help complaining.

They had weapons lessons in the morning and fighting training in the afternoon, but Jiang Baimian didn't hold back at all, so they practiced hard.

Relatively speaking, Shang Jianyao could still hold on for a while, but Long Yuehong fell to the ground in less than 30 seconds each time.

"Her genetic improvement is definitely better than ours! Look, that power, that reaction speed, that coordination is just like a monster! Oh, you are also a monster, a little monster!" Long Yuehong only discovered today that her friend was in the In the fighting class, he didn't even use half of his strength.

He actually fought back and forth with that monster!

Although it can only last for a short period of time, it has come and gone.

Shang Jianyao looked at Long Yuehong with a smile and said:

"You can't even beat Bai Chen."

Long Yuehong's face suddenly flushed, and he hesitated for a long time:

"She doesn't tell the rules! Besides, didn't you win a few times?"

He originally thought that to deal with such a petite girl as Bai Chen, he could easily win by virtue of his size and strength. Who knows, he has lost again and again.

You must know that he has been genetically modified since the embryonic state, but he not only has body size and strength, but also reaction speed, coordination ability, and balance ability. In addition, he also has many years of fighting experience.

"There are no rules for fighting in the wilderness, only life and death." Shang Jianyao replied flatly.

"Yes, her fighting skills are very practical..." Long Yuehong said, looking down at her lunch box.

On the white rice studded with many potatoes, the black prunes spread little by little, and the juice has penetrated into the bottom.

On top of the dried plum vegetables, there is a piece of meat with more fat and less skin, alternating layers after layers. This meat is dyed with the color of juice.

This is the special meat dish that Long Yuehong exchanged for a contribution point - he had already enjoyed a plate of steamed pork at noon.

"It's so fragrant..." Long Yuehong narrowed her eyes, "If I don't have to go out to work, this position is my dream."

"There is a fighting class tomorrow." Shang Jianyao glanced at him.

There is no room for selection of special meat dishes, and his is also steamed meat with dried plums.

"...Don't say it, eat quietly!" Long Yuehong's expression collapsed.

He found that after spending such a day with the team leader, he became more and more accustomed to roaring.

Shang Jianyao ignored him and immersed himself in the stewed rice with potatoes and steamed pork with dried plums and vegetables.

After dinner, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong took the lunch box, took the elevator, and returned to Area C on the 495th floor.

As soon as the two entered the "activity center", they saw a tall girl with good facial features, clean temperament, and a simple dress walking over.

"Feng Yunying, are you looking for me?" Long Yuehong forgot about Shang Jianyao, and strode up to meet her, with an irresistible smile on her face.

The girl was a little stunned:

"Have you finished your meal

"I'm here to return something from a friend."

Long Yuehong said with a constant smile:

"I ate in the cafeteria."

"Small canteen? Where are you assigned?" Feng Yunying asked curiously.

It is not an ordinary department that can have a small canteen.

The entertainment department where she is located also has a radio station.

Only then did Long Yuehong realize that he had missed his mouth, and forced a smile:

"Department of Security."

Feng Yunying was stunned for a moment, and said politely:

"Then you have to be careful."

During the conversation between the two, Shang Jianyao stepped aside, pulled the stool, and sat beside Chen Xianyu, the director of the "Activity Center".

"How is it? Which group are you assigned to? Do you want the old man to find an acquaintance to take care of you?" Chen Xianyu asked casually, looking at the items on the booth in front of him.

"Confidentiality." Shang Jian Yao said concisely.

"Heh..." Chen Xianyu turned his head.

He didn't ask any further, and patted Shang Jianyao on the shoulder:

"Everything is careful."

At this time, Chen Xianyu's subordinate employee walked back from the "staff canteen" with his lunch box.

Shang Jianyao looked at the old man Chen holding the lunch box in one hand and the chopsticks in the other, and suddenly said:

"Grandpa Chen, you said you know all the people on this floor?"

Chen Xianyu answered vaguely:

"I don't dare to say 100%, but at least I know more than 95%."

Shang Jianyao was about to consider the language when he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

That was the woman surnamed Li he saw at No. 35 in Area A this morning, a believer in the "Rite of Life".

"She, do you know her?" Shang Jianyao pointed at the beautiful lady.

Chen Xianyu raised his head and glanced:

"Li Zhen, you should know each other? You should be considered neighbors before.

"But when you were young, you may not remember it.

"Hey, she is also a poor person. After she got married, she gave birth to two children, and then she and her husband were transferred to other positions. They were polluted and could no longer have children. Her family had two children a few years ago. All died in an accident…”

Shang Jianyao listened to Chen Xianyu in silence, but did not speak.

After sitting in the "Activity Center" for a while, he returned to No. 196, Block B, and, as usual, half-lying on the dim bed waiting for the announcement to sound.

It didn't take long for that familiar sweet voice to reverberate on every floor of the "living area":

"Hello everyone, I'm Houyi, the hourly news announcer, it's 8:00 pm...

“…Due to the unusual climate this year, monsters have already begun to migrate on the dusty soil…

"...Tracks of the 'Church of Monks' appeared in the wilderness near the company...

"…

“… livestock diarrhoea has been resolved in pasture 59 in the inner ecoregion…

“… The Entertainment Department has decided to hold a staff basketball game at the event center this week off…”
