Embers Ad Infinitum

Apart from the photo and the title, there was no extra introduction on the cover. Shang Jianyao took a serious look at it and put the journal and magazine back to their original positions.

Next, he held the "Berserker" assault rifle, followed the hidden transfer route of the room owner, and sneaked into the other direction of the city.

As for how to determine which places the owner of the room passed by, Shang Jianyao has found a pattern.

That is, the scene with more realistic and reasonable details must have been one that the owner of the room has been in before. The more chaotic, contradictory, and twisted it means that the owner of the room has never been there at that time. The situation presented is due to the self-improvement of subconscious activities. A blend of multiple experiences.

The subsequent process proved the correctness of this law, but this does not mean that everything is smooth sailing for Shang Jianyao.

He still suffered a lot of attacks, because the process of hiding and moving the owner of the room was also full of twists and turns. He stepped into dangerous situations several times, and relied on his own strength and a certain amount of luck to barely escape and find a new route.

As far as Shang Jianyao is concerned, as long as he is careful, even if he cannot sense human consciousness in other people's psychological shadows and deal with those "unintentional people" who have no special abilities, there will be no big problem. But once he shoots, he will always attract people. A large number of "unintentional people" arrived, forcing him to forcibly move.

Later, he gave up the "Berserker" assault rifle and switched to the "United 202" and "Ice Moss" with silencers.

This does have a certain effect, but it does not completely solve the problem, because the "unintentional people" who attacked him will also make noises, attract friends, and bully others.

Shang Jianyao was not too anxious. He regarded this as a real-life RPG game. While controlling his mental consumption and using sweeps to facilitate transfer, he memorized several dangerous scenes and prepared to avoid them when loading the file next time. .

When his energy was almost exhausted, he decisively caused many "unintentional people" to fall into unspeakable melancholy, while he took the opportunity to escape and left the "522" room along the safe route he had explored before.

Among these "heartless people" there are already "high-level heartless people" with special abilities!

Floor 495, Area B, Room 196.

Shang Jianyao opened his eyes and said to himself:

"The number of enemies on the transfer route of the room owner is getting smaller and smaller, but the quality is getting higher and higher... He may have come into contact with something special in the ruins of that city later...

"Iron Mountain Ruins?"

While his thoughts were spinning, Shang Jianyao heard a familiar voice on the radio, a childish voice:

"Hello everyone, I am Hou Yi, the news announcer on the hour. It is 8 o'clock in the evening..."

Everything seemed quiet again.

…………

The next morning, Shang Jianyao had breakfast in the staff canteen on the 495th floor and entered the elevator.

Coincidentally, Long Yuehong arrived one after the other.

Shang Jianyao watched the elevator door close while chatting with Long Yuehong:

"What did you eat this morning?"

"My mom made a big pot of noodles with last night's leftovers." Long Yuehong was quite satisfied with this.

Many employees of "Pangu Bio" have this habit. If there are not enough leftovers from the night before to support lunch, then they are put together and used as toppings to eat the next day. .

This is similar to the "chowder" in the "rootless" camp, and it is a habit developed in an era of scarcity.

Shang Jianyao glanced at Long Yuehong and changed the topic with a quick thought:

"Why did you bring your computer?"

Long Yuehong was holding his portable computer, including the mouse and plug.

Long Yuehong said "uh":

"I don't know if I can give out the rewards today. It's impossible to exercise all day long. My body can't stand it. Hey, there's nothing to do in the office. It's quite boring."

"You dislike the old world entertainment materials I selected?" Shang Jianyao said "aggrieved".

In the past few days, when Long Yuehong had nothing to do in Room 14 on the 647th floor, she would hang out with Shang Jianyao and watch old world dramas with him, while Bai Chen was with Jiang Baimian.

Long Yuehong scratched her hair with her left hand:

"No, it's more convenient this way."

While talking, they arrived at the 647th floor and entered room 14.

Bai Chen was already inside, but the one who was absent was Jiang Baimian.

However, she didn't keep everyone waiting for long and appeared at the door a few minutes later.

"I was temporarily summoned by Minister Xi Yu." Jiang Baimian said with a smile, "The rewards have been decided and will be officially distributed in the afternoon."

"Ula!"

"Long live!"

The one who shouted "Ula" was Shang Jianyao, and the one who shouted "Long live" was also Shang Jianyao.

Seeing that Bai Chen and Long Yuehong also looked forward to it, but the degree of expression was different, Jiang Baimian walked to his seat and said with a smile:

"First of all, all our harvests belong to ourselves, and the items we turn in will be returned soon."

This is the most important point. You must know that the "Old Tune Team" handed over three military exoskeleton devices of different models, a chameleon-type bionic smart armor, six sense beads, and "life angel" Necklaces and other powerful equipment, among which only one military exoskeleton device had been allowed to stay.

Now, the senior management decided to return all the items and help with repairs, which made Jiang Baimian relieved and quite satisfied.

She then added:

"But there is a premise, that is, certain items must be kept by the ministry's specialized agencies. We can only collect them when we need to go out for training or complete tasks."

With the past bombing as a precedent, how could the company allow employees to bring military exoskeleton devices and props with magical abilities into the company? Jiang Baimian and the others had to apply for a gun before they even needed one.

If something happens, it will be troublesome.

If items such as biological prostheses and robotic arms were not inseparable from their owners, the company would have no choice but to pinch their noses and admit it. Long Yuehong would probably have to be a one-armed hero for a while.

"It should be." Long Yuehong immediately supported the senior management's decision.

"What a pity..." Shang Jianyao didn't know what he was pity for.

Bai Chen's focus has shifted to other places:

"What other rewards are there?"

Jiang Baimian did not answer immediately, but frowned slightly and said:

"Minister Xi Yu also mentioned one thing, which is the 'Angel of Life' necklace. The company has done some processing to ensure that the effect does not change, giving Shang Jianyao an extra layer of protection. He said it is, it is the key. Moments can be used to combat the 'sequelae' of previous indiscretions.

"Shang Jianyao can learn the specific situation from the confidential information obtained later."

"This is simple, I can guess it now." Shang Jianyao laughed, "After they knew that there was a foreign aura remaining in my 'Origin Sea', they planned to send another one of their own aura to me. When the time comes, once it appears If there is any accident, just get the aura of one of our own people into the 'Sea of ​​Origin' and ask him for help. After that, it will be easy to talk to my own people."

"This is also a kind of supervision." Jiang Baimian nodded lightly, "So, there are awakened people in the 'Siming' field who have explored the depths of the 'soul corridor' within the company?"

"Since the company's awakening experiment has a certain effect, even if the probability is very low, it should have accumulated some awakened people in different fields." Bai Chen expressed his opinion.

Jiang Baimian did not discuss this rather sensitive matter, smiled, and continued to talk about the rewards:

"This time we completed a very difficult task that no one had succeeded in for many years. The company was very satisfied and decided to directly promote me to D9. Haha, I thought before that I would have to do at least two or three more tasks before there was any hope.

"Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong, you have been promoted to two levels again, and now you are D7 team leader level employees.

"Xiaobai, you mentioned D6."

Seeing that the rewards distributed were much richer than expected, Long Yuehong couldn't help but quickly calculate:

My basic salary is now increased by another 1,000 to reach 4,800 contribution points, and my monthly additional allowance is 1,100. In other words, I can get 13,200 contribution points in one go at the end of the year...

After you get married, most of the houses you can get are the ones with a small bathroom...

If I am transferred out of the Security Department, I can be promoted to another level and become the activity center supervisor...

I have only been working for more than a year...

While Long Yuehong was happily calculating, Jiang Baimian glanced at Shang Jianyao:

"I don't really understand your choice, and I don't have to be the team leader. Anyway, we have always discussed it.

"Okay, now that it's been decided, I won't say anything more. There will be other rewards this time."

"You are obviously very happy." The honest Shang Jianyao always said what he had to say.

Jiang Baimian's smile froze on his face for a second, and he resisted the urge to raise his left hand.

She looked at Bai Chen and said:

"My report mentioned that your portable computer was lost in the First City, so the reward distributed this time also includes a latest model portable computer..."

"Ah..." Long Yuehong made a little sound.

Jiang Baimian nodded to him:

“We did not turn in materials this time, so no additional contribution points were given out. The rewards were mainly in kind and opportunities.

"In addition to the portable computer, we can apply to replace the chameleon series bionic smart armor with other models, or the latest model of the same series. We can apply for another one before the next mission. In addition, there is an opportunity for genetic modification, a An opportunity to be transferred from the frontline team of the Security Department, an opportunity to transplant a better biological prosthetic limb for free.

“These are all tailor-made for our group, and our contributions are seen by the higher-ups.

"Xiaobai, I'll talk to you later. Some genetic modifications are very dangerous, and some are relatively safe. I still have some experience and knowledge in this area and can give you guidance. I don't want to reduce the number of people in a non-combatant manner.

"Xiaohong, if you are satisfied with the mechanical arm, give Xiaobai the opportunity to transplant the biological prosthetic arm and let her add some contribution points in exchange for the best one. Well, you can get the transfer application today."

Long Yuehong was startled and said:

"Okay, okay."
