In the evening, Jiang Baimian, who was banging on the keyboard, glanced at the door from the corner of his eye, and found that Shang Jianyao and others had all left the office.

She let out a long sigh of relief and stopped the movement of her hands.

Then, she took out a piece of white paper, picked up a pen, and wrote and drew according to her memory:

"Go out and turn right, go all the way to the bottom and take the elevator...

"The key is 349...

"Get off the elevator, enter the square, after seeing the flowers, turn left, No. 12, Area C..."

Soon, Jiang Baimian drew the map needed for the "going home battle".

After confirming it repeatedly, she packed up her belongings, took the map, and walked to the office door.

After going out, Jiang Baimian turned to the left.

Just after taking a step, she stopped and looked down at the map in her hand and the notes on it.

Her eyes froze, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Wrong turn!

She turned in the wrong direction without even noticing!

The price of "Lu Chi" is quite scary... As Jiang Baimian rolled his eyes, he took out the absorbent pen inserted in his pocket, and added a sentence on the map:

"Every time I turn a corner, I'd rather be slow, stop more, think more, and confirm more."

Then, she chose the right direction and walked down according to the map.

Level 495, Block C, No. 11.

After Long Yuehong entered the door, he found that his mother, Gu Hong, his father, Long Dayong, his younger brother, Long Zhigu, and his younger sister, Long Aihong, each occupied a position and did not speak.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Gu Hong gave a "hey" and asked instead:

"At our level, in the past year or two, are there a lot of people infected with 'innocence'?"

This has been several times, several times!

"Alright." Long Yuehong said with relief.

Long Dayong glanced at the door:

"I heard a lot of people say, is it because there is a 'poison source' on our floor that hasn't been found out, and people are infected again and again."

"It's also possible that someone did something bad that made us a bit unlucky." Gu Hong mentioned a guess made by the seven aunts and eight aunts while chatting.

Hearing this, Long Aihong blurted out:

"Some people are suspecting that my brother and brother Yao are 'poison sources', hidden infections, ah..."

She suddenly realized that she had missed her mouth, and hurriedly raised her hands to cover her mouth.

Long Yuehong was startled for a moment:

"anything else?"

Long Aihong glanced at her mother and then at her father, and said cautiously:

"Some say you are the source of bad luck.

"Anyway, what they mean is that since you went out to perform tasks, the incidence of 'innocence' in our layer has significantly increased. It must be that you encountered bad things outside and brought them back inside the company."

This may be the "no heart disease" virus, or it may be substantial bad luck.

Seeing that the words have already been said, Long Zhigu added obviously unconvinced:

"They also gave an example, saying that Uncle Shen and Aunt Ren suffered from 'no-heart disease' when you came back from the mission for the first time, and this time it was Uncle Zhang when you came back."

Long Yuehong finally couldn't help but refute:

"But when we came back from the mission for the second time, no one got 'inadvertent disease'. We were not inside the company when the 'inadvertent disease' broke out before."

When he said these words, he was actually a little guilty, because Shen Du and Ren Jie's "no heart disease" obviously had a certain relationship with Shang Jianyao, and it was closer to some guys killing people.

"Yeah!" Long Aihong's face lit up, "I will refute them like this tomorrow!"

At this time, Long Dayong glanced at the indignant Gu Hong and comforted his eldest son:

"Don't take it to your heart. The main reason is that 'intentional disease' has never disappeared. After such a generation, everyone can only pretend that they can't see it at ordinary times. When it happens, they are very scared. It is inevitable that some people will make mixed noises. After that, there will be no more noises. New cases come in and they quickly forget these things."

"I understand." Long Yuehong tried her best to sit down.

He said cheerfully:

"The 'unintentional ones' we encountered on the surface are not one or two, and no one has been infected."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly found that the expressions of his parents, brother and sister had become a little weird.

Uh... At this time, it's better not to mention that there are more "unintentional" contacts outside, lest everyone think about it... Long Yuehong quickly understood what was wrong with his justification.

Floor 622, Block B, Room 59.

Bai Chen put the laptop he just sent out on the table by the window and opened it directly.

For her, who is already D6, she usually eats in the cafeteria, goes to bed on time after the lights are turned off, and the energy ration is enough for her to play the computer for two to three hours a day.

After drinking the cold water, Bai Chen played a funny show.

Although she doesn't understand many jokes in the old world, she can't laugh sincerely, but just listening to the laughter at the scene and listening to the haha in the later stage, she feels very calm, very relaxed, kind of Unspeakable joy.

Laughter echoed in the quiet room, and Bai Chen stared at the computer screen unfocused.

After an unknown amount of time, she stretched out her right hand, opened the drawer of the table, and took out the heavy parts with some cracks.

Looking down at this part, a smile gradually appeared on Bai Chen's face.

She said to herself:

"I will listen to you this time, move forward bravely, and no longer be bound by the past..."

Level 495, Block B, No. 196.

The businessmen, who felt that their mental trauma was almost healed, entered the "Spiritual Corridor" again and came to the "522" room.

With the experience of the previous two times, he was familiar with the safest route to sneak somewhere in the ruins.

Along the way, except for a few battles that will inevitably occur, the wind is calm and the waves are calm.

And for those few battles, even the room owner who wasn't an awakened person at the time could handle it, rushing to transfer before other "unintentional people" came, and Shang Jianyao naturally captured them, and solved them without any effort, not even without any effort. How to create movement.

This also brought a problem. Shang Jianyao found that because there was not much noise in one of the battles, unlike what the room owner experienced at the time, a large number of "unintentional people" gathered from all directions, resulting in the originally safe route. , in a place where "unintentional" should not be encountered, there are several "unintentional" wandering.

"Is this a kind of butterfly effect? I quickly resolved the battle and left the 'Mindless' who should have been transferred away in place?" Shang Jianyao muttered to himself.

He quickly asked another question:

"Since this scene is the presentation of the psychological shadow of the owner of the room, how did he know that if he had been careful before, there would be such a change?"

Shang Jianyao immediately laughed:

"It's very simple. There are rotten human limbs left here, indicating that there were 'intentional ones' not long ago. The owner of the room must have been thinking when he saw this, if the previous battle had not created a lot of movement, it must be happening now It's a tough fight.

"This guess was remembered by his subconscious and became the hidden rule of this psychological shadow."

He persuaded his Shang Jianyao not to stop, and continued along the transfer route of the room owner.

It's strange to say that, according to the previous rules, the number of "unintentional people" encountered by the owner of the room is getting smaller and smaller, but the quality is getting higher and higher. When it comes to the back, there are even "high-level unintentional people". After breaking through the last exploration limit and getting rid of the "high-level unintentional person", he has never encountered a powerful enemy.

He didn't even see the ordinary "Mindless One" again.

"Does this mean that there are more dangerous creatures in this area, so that the 'unintentional' dare not enter?" Shang Jianyao was divided into ten, the one who spoke was cowardly but very cautious.

Shang Jianyao, who was wearing a deers hunting hat and smoking a pipe, nodded:

"Not necessarily a creature."

He indirectly agreed with the cowardly businessman's guess.

"What do I do now?" Shang Jianyao, who was wearing an enlarged version of his childhood clothes, asked.

Shang Jianyao, who had been eager to try for a long time, answered without hesitation:

"Certainly continue!

"The owners of the rooms who were not Awakened at the time all survived, let alone us?"

"Then how do you know that the owner of the room did not encounter anything in this exploration, leaving a terrible hidden danger?" The cowardly and timid Shang Jianyao asked rhetorically.

"Yes, yes." Another Shang Jian Yao echoed.

At this time, Shang Jianyao, who was holding the small speaker, said curiously:

"I was thinking, what would happen if we split up and one of them died here

"Is there nine remaining in the end, and the personality is no longer healthy, or can it still be restored to ten, but each one has more serious mental problems

"Want to try it?"

His proposal only got one vote in favor, and all the others were opposed to it.

After discussing for a while, the Shang Jian Yaos reunited, and carefully followed the transfer route of the room owner and went deep into this area.

As he walked, a seven-story building appeared in front of him.

This building looks quite old, with large green plants crawling on the walls.

Shang Jianyao took a closer look and found a sign above the entrance of the lobby on the first floor, which read:

"The Second Food Company of Tieshan City"
