Shen Du immediately smiled and said:
"Go to that piece, be careful to avoid..."
Before he finished speaking, he looked up at the ceiling and signaled Shang Jianyao to be careful.
Surveillance cameras are installed on every floor of the "living area", but only in key intersections and indoor public places.
In comparison, the number of surveillance cameras is much larger in both the "inner ecological area" and the "factory area", but it is far less than the "research area" and "management area".
Shang Jianyao followed Shen Du's gaze, looked at the intersection ahead, and said with a smile:
"It may not be on at all."
"Yes." Shen Du actually agreed with Shang Jianyao's statement.
This is because similar situations are too common within the company. From time to time, it is revealed that certain equipment has been damaged for a long time and has been unusable. Usually, it is just a matter of pretending to be there.
It is said to have something to do with the chaos of the destruction of the old world, when some of the surviving humans hurriedly evacuated into the underground building.
Moreover, it has been 46 years since the new calendar. It is very normal for some equipment to be damaged. The corresponding production line may not be rebuilt due to shortage of resources, loss of technology, lack of materials and other reasons, so replacement and maintenance cannot be carried out.
"However, you still have to be careful. The company has always been very strict on matters related to religion." Shen Du warned, holding a flashlight and walking forward.
At the intersection, he turned off the flashlight and turned to the right by carefully moving against the wall.
Shang Jianyao followed behind him and once again turned his attention to the surveillance camera on the ceiling of the intersection.
There is a red dot flashing slowly there.
Shang Jianyao looked at the red dot, suddenly raised his hands, pinched both cheeks, and pulled the corners of his mouth up.
He made a face.
Then, he rubbed the facial muscles that had been hit by the flashlight, learned to be calm, and moved against the wall.
After going around like this for a while, Shen Du stopped in front of Gate 35 in Area A.
He immediately raised his left hand and tapped it three times.
"Newborn like the sun." A deliberately low voice came from the room.
Shen Du stretched his neck forward and responded with the same low voice:
"Life is the heaviest."
With a creak, the door was opened behind, and dim yellow light flowed out, shaking gently.
"This is?" The woman who opened the door saw Shang Jianyao behind Shen Du.
She is in her thirties, and has obviously undergone genetic improvements. She has black and straight eyebrows, a high nose bridge, and raised corners of her eyes. She is both beautiful and has her own characteristics.
Shang Jianyao took a step forward and said sincerely:
"My first time participating.
"Uncle Shen brought me here."
The woman's slightly wrinkled brows gradually stretched, and she said thoughtfully:
"It turned out to be a new church member."
She glanced left and right and moved out of the way:
"Come in, don't let anyone see it."
Shen Du saw that the woman recognized Shang Jianyao's identity, and without any doubt, strode into the room and turned off the flashlight.
Shang Jianyao followed behind, looked around, and completely took into account the situation in the room.
This room is much larger than the one he lives in now, and there is a door on the innermost wall, indicating that there is an inner bedroom, bathroom or kitchenette.
This made Shang Jianyao think of his previous home, which indicated that the owner of this room was either at D4 or above, or one of them had reached the D7 group leader level.
The outside room is about two meters wide and five meters deep. There is a wardrobe and a cabinet on the innermost wall. A bedside table is separated from these two pieces of furniture. It is a double bed. The foot position leaves an aisle leading to inner lying.
The big bed is a small living room composed of back chairs, square stools, low stools, coffee tables, desks, and cloth sofas.
At this time, two candles were lit on the coffee table, creating a dim light, and there were many people sitting around, men and women, old and strong.
Shang Jianyao didn't have a detailed count, but looking at the crowded posture, he felt that there were at least ten people.
"Small business, make a registration first." The woman who opened the door took out a soft-shell notebook from nowhere.
Shang Jianyao took the pen and wrote his name on the blank page opened by the other party.
"You know me?" He looked curious.
The woman smiled and said:
"When your parents lived here, we were barely neighbors.
"However, you shouldn't remember me. You can call me Aunt Li."
"Well, Aunt Li." Shang Jianyao was not polite at all.
"Okay, go and sit down, the 'leader' is about to start preaching." The woman surnamed Li pointed to an empty low stool.
"Where are you sitting?" Shang Jianyao asked politely.
"I can sit by the bed." The woman surnamed Li replied with a smile.
Shang Jianyao didn't ask any more questions, took a few steps sideways, and sat down.
After about two or three minutes, the door to the inner bedroom opened, and a figure came out.
This person is no stranger to the shadow businessman. It is Aunt Ren Jie Ren whom he met at the "Activity Center" in the evening, a D3-level employee who serves in the company's "Strategy Committee".
At this time, Ren Jie was still wearing the polyester shirt, but changed into grey trousers. On the beautiful face that could see some traces of the years, the expression was holy and dignified.
She walked between the big bed and the wardrobe and cabinet, and swept in the direction of everyone.
"Small business?" She saw Shang Jianyao sitting upright at a glance.
Shang Jianyao stood up, took two steps forward, and said hello:
"Aunt Ren, I just registered.
"Uncle Shen brought me here."
Ren Jie's eyes moved slightly, as if she was thinking about something, and then she smiled:
"It turns out that this is the case. It has already passed the inspection."
"sit down."
When Shang Jianyao sat down again, she looked at everyone and said:
"Since there are new church members participating, let me briefly introduce our church."
Papapa, Shang Jianyao applauded warmly.
Shen Du and the others either turned their heads or turned sideways, and looked at him with the same blank eyes.
Ren Jie probably heard that Shang Jianyao is a person with a more detached personality, and was stunned for a moment, then laughed:
"No need, this is not a company meeting."
She paused for two seconds, and after Shang Jianyao stopped, she said in a deep voice:
"None of us here have actually left the company or actually set foot on the surface.
"The situation of the dust we have only comes from the company's broadcast, the introduction of teaching materials, and the descriptions of the surrounding 'security department' employees, which have been screened for confidentiality in advance.
"We don't really understand ash, just like we never really see the sky."
Her eyes swept around and fell on Shang Jianyao's face:
"We know that after the destruction of the old world, after a long period of chaos and strife, human beings have finally re-established order in some areas. With the new calendar, we also know that the shadow is still shrouded in the dust, and the place of order is in the area of chaos, No-man's land, all kinds of wild mountains are like the island in the textbook to the sea. Pollution, distortion, and famine are like tides, coming in waves without end.
"The most deadly disease is Wuxin disease, which is the animalization disease in the textbook. To this day, we still don't have a grasp of its pathogenesis and transmission laws. We and the people around us may degenerate into a real disease when we wake up. 'Beasts', unable to communicate, but with a prey instinct."
Ren Jie took a breath and continued:
"This is what we know, so what is it that we don't know
"It is why the old world is destroyed, and why the new order can be rebuilt.
"Above the ashes, among the multitudes of human beings, spread such rumours:
"Some actions in the old world offended the gods and were destroyed by them, and those who survived passed the test and were saved by them.
"This rumor is partly true and partly false.
"Really, there is indeed a group of gods in this world. They jointly control the years and manage different months respectively, so they are called 'Zhi Sui'. Of course, some people call them 'Zhiren' and 'Sui' God', 'Blue God', 'Savior', 'Painter of the Past', 'Official Priest of the Present'.
"The false thing is that the 'Zhi Sui' did not destroy the old world because they were provoked, this is just an inevitable result of normal development.
"Life is noble and sacred, but it will pass away, and so will the world, just as the old year always comes to an end, ready to enter the new year.
"Our sect is called the 'Rite of Life', and we believe in the most special one in the 'Zhi Sui', who is in charge of the 'Ji Ming' in December. He is the end of the year, but it also symbolizes the coming of the new year. , He is the terminator of the old world and the opener of the new world."
When Ren Jie said this, except for Shang Jianyao, everyone else stretched out their arms and held a baby in their arms, shaking it gently:
"In the end, it will belong to Si Ming."
Their voices were low but clear, converging together and echoing across the room.
Ren Jie looked at Shang Jianyao and continued:
"In fact, the new world has not yet come, and now is the stage when the gods are testing all beings. Only by devoutly believing in Si Ming and entrusting oneself to Si Ming in the form of sacrifices can we enter the new world, get rid of the cycle of time, and gain eternal life, no longer suffering. ."
"Praise your tolerance!" The congregation shook their arms again and spoke in a low voice.
Shang Jianyao learned their movements and said:
"Praise your tolerance."
Ren Jie nodded in satisfaction and turned to say:
"Okay, let's officially start preaching.
"Our life sacrificial order worships life and fears death, so we value regeneration and funerals the most.
"Today's content is mostly about freshmen."
Shang Jianyao sat with his back straight, and like the people around him, he listened very seriously.
Ren Jie's voice gradually softened, and her expression became more holy:
"We should put babies to sleep on their backs;
"We should let babies develop the habit of playing during the day and sleeping at night;
"We hum the song when the baby is asleep;
"We should carefully distinguish the cry of a baby:
"Short and low, high and low is hunger; intense is anger; suddenly loud, very sharp, and then paused for a long time, turning into a gentle wailing, is pain. . .
"We should pat the baby on the back to get the air out of his stomach...
"When we were holding the baby, we held the back of his head...
"We must breastfeed..."
Shang Jianyao's eyes gradually became dull, and his mouth opened slightly, unable to close it.
