In the light rain, the jeep sprayed with army green camouflage slowed down and drove to the entrance of the "Panga Creature" underground building.
Looking at the gate that was very familiar even though he had only seen it a few times, Long Yuehong and others could not contain the excitement in their hearts.
After a few months of drifting away, I'm finally going home.
Shang Jianyao raised his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth.
After they left the redstone set, they aimed directly at the location of the "Pangu creatures". They basically didn't stop anywhere along the way. They just went to a larger settlement to replenish some food.
Moreover, compared to the time when they first came out, because they no longer need to worry about the ambush of the "Rite of Life", the strength of the group has increased a lot, so they did not detour much, but based on caution and caution, they avoided places that are very easy to be ambushed. .
This allows them to effectively shorten the time spent on the way home.
With the opening of the silver-white door at the entrance of "Pangu Creatures", Jiang Baimian noticed at a glance that the layout here was very different from before.
In addition to the number of security staff guarding the security department, which has changed from 20 to 30, two additional new security inspection devices have been added.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Baimian pressed the car window, stuck his head out, and asked without concealing his doubts.
Liu Chengkun, who was in charge of the entrance area, saw that it was an acquaintance and walked over with a smile:
"Yo, isn't this Mianmian?"
The D8-level captain of the Ministry of Security was about thirty years old, with bronzed skin and an angular appearance.
"..." Jiang Baimian didn't know how to respond to the nickname he had long been unfamiliar with.
Almost at the same time, she heard "low" laughter from the back row.
Immediately afterwards, Shang Jianyao "pressed" his voice and said to Bai Chen in the co-pilot position:
"The name Mianmian is not very white at all."
Bai Chen pursed her lips and didn't answer, but the muscles on her face seemed to tremble slightly.
Jiang Baimian took a breath and slowly exhaled it. He pulled the handbrake and pushed the door to get out of the car.
She looked at Liu Chengkun, smiled and said:
"Liu team, what's the matter? Why is it so strict all at once?"
Hey, who said this guy in front of him is his brother's good friend!
Liu Chengkun glanced at Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen who followed to get out of the car, and said with a smile:
"It's not that anyone is in trouble.
"A few years ago, a team from the field came back. When they handed in the items, a stunned young man hid two items and didn't give them to the team leader. As a result, there seemed to be some hidden problem in one of the items, which caused a small-scale confusion. Well soon resolved.
"The board of directors held the minister accountable for this matter, and the minister was also very angry. As soon as the New Year was over, he changed the rules and asked for an additional search and registration post at the gate, and asked the team returning to the company to hand in all the items here, and send it after the review. return."
"Pangu Creatures" was not so strict about its belongings before. After the initial inspection at the door, it was released directly. Subsequently, the team leader and captain of the corresponding team were responsible for supervising the members to hand in the items brought back from the outside.
When Jiang Baimian heard this, he frowned and sighed:
"Really, isn't this causing trouble for everyone?"
She said that because she was trying to hide things.
—The turquoise night pearl that fixed DiMarco's breath, she didn't want to hand it in.
"Yeah, that unlucky guy has been downgraded a full three levels." Liu Chengkun shook his head and smiled, "Okay, please cooperate with the work."
"Well." Jiang Baimian did not object.
She greeted Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and Shang Jianyao, and opened the trunk of the jeep.
During this process, she winked at Shang Jianyao.
Shang Jianyao had already inserted his left hand into his trouser pocket.
He stood there, watching the team leader and Long Yuehong move the two wooden boxes down without help.
"What's this?" Liu Chengkun and several security employees who he summoned to check were curiously asked.
According to their experience, the items brought back by the field workers are all bits and pieces, most of which are carried with them and cardboard boxes full of cans.
Jiang Baimian smiled deliberately:
"You can open it for yourself."
Liu Chengkun was not polite. After all, this was his job. He bent down and lifted the lid of one of the wooden boxes.
"This..." Liu Chengkun was immediately taken aback by the object in sight.
This, this TM turned out to be a military exoskeleton device!
In the next second, there was a sound of gasping for breath in his ears.
His subordinate opened another wooden box.
Inside is also a military exoskeleton device, and it looks like the model is updated!
Taking advantage of the inspectors' eyes being attracted, Jiang Baimian glanced sideways at Shang Jianyao.
Shang Jian Yao pulled out his left hand and nodded with a smile.
Phew, Jiang Baimian breathed a sigh of relief.
A few seconds later, Liu Chengkun finally regained consciousness, pointing to the two military exoskeleton devices:
"You guys, where did you get this from?"
The company does not have many such sophisticated mechanical and electronic products and military killers, and they are always stretched thin in distribution, but Jiang Baimian and his team of four actually own two!
"One was acquired by doing hunter missions, and the other was seized," Jiang Baimian explained briefly.
Liu Chengkun and the security staff around him seemed to be listening to a book from heaven, with the words "I don't believe" echoing in their minds.
They are all field personnel, and some even have the identity of relic hunters, but they have never found that they can switch to military exoskeleton devices for hunting tasks!
As for the seizure, they can still understand. After all, Jiang Baimian and his team already have a military exoskeleton device and have the corresponding strength.
Liu Chengkun was silent for a few seconds, then opened his mouth and said:
"You guys have a lot of experience going out this time."
He gave up the idea of asking for details, because the person Jiang Baimian needed to report to was not him, but Deputy Minister Xi Yu.
"It's just about saving all mankind." Shang Jianyao replied with a smile.
Liu Chengkun laughed dumbly, and said to the surrounding subordinates:
"Okay, don't just watch, check in sequence, and register by category."
With the two military exoskeleton devices in front, the batch of portable computers that the "Old Tuning Team" moved out naturally could no longer amaze everyone. They passed the preliminary search in a mediocre way and were put aside for handing over. review.
During this process, Jiang Baimian and others also took out the items on their bodies one by one.
And Liu Chengkun and the others returned to them on the spot what the "Old Tuning Team" had previously registered and reviewed based on the online data.
One of the security staff picked up an ordinary glass ball and asked Shang Jianyao casually:
"It's not everywhere, what's the point of taking it back?"
Similar things are indeed rare in the underground building of "Pangu Creatures", but above the dust, such items that cannot be eaten, worn or used can only be played by children, and almost no one deliberately collects them.
In the ruins of the cities, there are similar glass balls, and most of them are better than Shang Jianyao.
Shang Jianyao replied sincerely:
"Memorial value."
"Hehe, which girl gave you?" The security employee joked and put down the glass ball.
After the preliminary inspection, he signaled that Shang Jianyao could pass the security checker.
After the process was easily completed, Jiang Baimian drove the vacant jeep to its original location, and led the team members all the way back to their office on the 647th floor.
After taking a shower, they put on clean clothes and walked to the elevator again.
According to the instructions of the previous telegram, they need to meet the deputy minister Xiyu, who is directly in charge of the "Old Tune Group", before dinner.
Seeing the elevator in sight, Jiang Baimian gave Long Yuehong a thoughtful look:
"If you don't understand, ask questions actively."
"Yes, team leader!" Long Yuehong almost patted her chest to promise.
On the way back, they had discussed the precautions for meeting the leaders, and one of them was:
It's better to ask the Deputy Minister more questions than to be asked by her!
For the "old-fashioned team" that has its own little secrets and intends to hide the two things of saving Genova and beheading DiMarco, reducing the number of questions from Deputy Minister Xiyu can effectively reduce the risk of exposure.
"May I ask?" Shang Jianyao wanted to participate quite actively.
"You just... forget it." Jiang Baimian frowned and relaxed again.
She was afraid of exposing the fact that Shang Jianyao's "condition" was more serious than the doctor's report.
At the same time, she was also afraid that Vice Minister Xi Yu would lose his image due to the anger of Shang Jianyao. In that case, she might wear small shoes in the future.
Not long after, the "Old Tune Team" arrived on the 646th floor and knocked on the door of Vice Minister Xi Yu's office. Then, they sat side by side on the couch as instructed.
Dressed neatly, with long chestnut hair and a gentle smile, Xi Yu held a sky-blue ceramic teacup, walked to the single sofa, sat down and said with a smile:
"I heard that you brought back two military exoskeleton devices? It's amazing."
Jiang Baimian didn't answer the question immediately, but smiled expectantly and said:
"Minister, you said before that if we can get our own military exoskeletons, you can call the shots and keep them in our group."
Xi Yu touched his forehead and said with a smile:
"I didn't expect you to get two in one go. Hey, now many people know about it. They want to get one for their team. Just now, the director of the operations cluster called me to tell me about it. I'm passive."
"I can help you convince them." Shang Jianyao volunteered.
"How to persuade? Do you rely on muscles?" Xi Yu could understand the anxious mood of the "Old Tune Group", and asked back with a smile.
In this regard, he is professional... Jiang Baimian replied silently in his heart.
Without giving them a chance to speak, Xi Yu nodded:
"Fortunately, I can still withstand this pressure. After the review, there is no problem. The two military exoskeleton devices will be put on your name, and you will receive them directly every time you go out on a mission.
"That jeep, have you also remodeled it? Let's make it your exclusive vehicle in the future."
"Yes, thank you Minister!" Jiang Baimian did not hide his joy.
At the same time, she quietly squeezed Shang Jianyao's forearm with her right hand, telling him not to say outrageous words, such as "Thank you for not breaking us up".
After this conversation, the atmosphere became a lot more harmonious, Xi Yu looked around and said:
"Let's make an oral report on this mission first."
