Embers Ad Infinitum

Staying until the end of get off work, several members of the "Old Tune Team" packed up their belongings and prepared to leave.

When Long Yuehong, who was holding her laptop computer, passed by Jiang Baimian, she opened her mouth, but said nothing.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Baimian noticed his abnormality.

Long Yuehong hesitated and said:

"Group leader, you have been investigating the cause of the destruction of the old world and the origin of the ‘unintentional disease’. This must be fraught with danger. Don’t you, are you not afraid of dying?"

"There are latecomers!" Shang Jian Yao, who was not far away, shouted with a smile.

Jiang Baimian glanced sideways at him, looked at Long Yuehong, and smiled slightly:

"Of course I'm afraid."

She paused and added sternly:

"But there are certain things that someone has to do. On the dusty soil, in many cases, it's not that you are afraid of death. If you don't take risks, you won't die. No one knows when the'unintentional disease' will fall on your own head. Die unconsciously, I would rather fall down while looking for hope."

"Does it feel better to look for the light?" Shang Jianyao asked in a discussing tone.

Jiang Baimian "heh" said:

"Did you use'literary youth' on yourself?"

She turned to Long Yuehong and smiled:

"Besides, it's not necessarily going to die, it's still possible to succeed."

At this time, Bai Chen interjected:

"At least as long as I can keep up, I want to stay in the group.

"In the future, the group will face more and more dangers, and I can no longer improve myself. I will take the initiative to withdraw and not drag everyone down."

"What's the drag that doesn't drag." Jiang Baimian said angrily and funny, "but this idea is good, in short, do what you can, you are like this, and I will be like this. If the danger ahead is really too great to deal with , I’m definitely not going to rush over stupidly, leaving the green hills, and I’m afraid there’s no firewood? If my generation really cannot complete the investigation of the causes of the destruction of the old world, I will focus on cultivating the next generation."

Having said that, Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:

"Anyway, don't rush to make a decision. Xiaohong, don't give up the opportunity on an impulse. Maybe you will regret it in a few days. So are you Xiaobai. Genetic modification is risky anyway. You can have more Consider for a while and see if the situation changes. Tomorrow and accidents, no one knows which will come first."

As for hello, I have given up treatment a long time ago!

Seeing that the team leader was more formal, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong both nodded and agreed.

On the way back to the 495th floor, Long Yuehong was silent and did not speak, but Shang Jian Yao, he quarreled a few words with himself.

He didn't persuade anything, didn't cheer up, waved his hand, and embarked on the road home casually.

Back home, Long Yuehong became busy, sometimes went to the "kitchen" to beat Gu Hong, and sometimes went to the small room to help her sister Long Aihong do homework.

The family had dinner, packed up the dishes, and went out for two laps. Then, the two took turns to play on the computer, and the three chatted short and long while listening to the radio.

"Hello everyone, I'm Hou Yi, the hourly news announcer. It's 8 o'clock in the evening...

"Today, Su Yu, director of the company's board of directors, went to the surface to express condolences to the employees on duty in the surrounding posts and commend them for their perseverance in the harsh environment..."

Hearing this, Gu Hong turned his head and looked at the elder son:

"Is the environment on the surface really that bad?

"You didn't say that before."

"Divided by place." Long Yuehong explained simply, "Many areas were severely damaged when the Old World was destroyed. Even today, extreme weather often occurs. It may be sunny in the morning, and people are about to get heatstroke in the afternoon. There was a heavy snowfall of goose feathers, which was nearly one meter thick."

"Those who are on duty and the expatriates of the Ministry of Security are really working hard..." Gu Hong sighed with emotion.

Long Dayong immediately echoed:

"Yes, if it weren't for their sacrifice, how could we live so peacefully and securely?"

Even if the supplies are a little scarce, it is much better than Shuiwei Town and Hongshiji.

Long Yuehong listened quietly, habitually raising her right hand and touching her cheek.

The cold feeling made him sober.

…………

In the middle of the night, Long Yuehong twitched her body and opened her eyes.

He had a nightmare just now.

In the dream, his parents, younger brother and sister all got "unintentional."

He wanted to save, but was bombarded by a shell, which was torn apart.

Long Yuehong raised her hand subconsciously and touched her forehead, feeling cold.

He used his right palm again habitually.

After switching to his left hand, he found that his forehead was full of sweat.

Long Yuehong took a breath, spit out slowly, decided to go to the bathroom for convenience, and wiped her face by the way.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the small bathroom at home, he saw a dim light from the crack in the door.

"Who is inside?" Long Yuehong asked.

"Me." Long Aihong's voice came out.

Long Yuehong asked casually:

"have not sleep yet?"

Long Aihong smiled awkwardly:

"Brother, don't tell your parents, me, I have played on the computer until now."

"Are you not going to study tomorrow?" Long Yuehong was angry and funny.

"Don't read it." Long Aihong replied very confidently, "Tomorrow the weekend."

I have forgotten this...Long Yuehong thought for a while and said:

"I don't want to tell you, you can't hide it, the energy ration at home is just this, you have used so much, how can parents not find it?"

"I, I came back today and accidentally found that the energy ration at home was a lot more, and I just squandered it little, it's almost the end of the month, and it will be wasted if you don't use it." Long Aihong asked suspiciously," Brother, do you know what's going on?"

Long Yuehong thought for a while and said:

"Probably, the part of the energy ration corresponding to my promotion was sent down."

"You, have you been promoted again?" Long Aihong was surprised and delighted, "D6?"

Long Yuehong said with a little embarrassment and a little pride:

"Just determined, D7."

He hasn't talked to his parents about this matter, and Shang Jianyao didn't publicize it on the street today.

"Wow!" Long Aihong exclaimed sincerely, "Brother, you are so amazing! Seriously, do you want to consider my classmates, many of them admire you."

Obviously, she learned a lot from old world entertainment materials.

Long Yuehong coughed:

"How long do you have?"

"Wait again, wait another five minutes, I have to re-grow my feelings after chatting with you." Long Aihong estimated.

Long Yuehong slightly considered:

"Forget it, I'll go outside."

Five minutes is more than enough.

Wrapped in a thick cotton coat, holding a flashlight, he walked out of the house and walked to the nearest public toilet.

After finishing the solution in comfort, Long Yuehong shrank his body, illuminating the road ahead, and walked back step by step.

He has long been accustomed to the cold after the lights are turned off, knowing that most of the precious geothermal energy is directed to the "production area" with the help of some technology. The daily life provided by the "energy area" is naturally saved at night Province.

Long Yuehong was walking, when a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the side and rushed towards him.

This...Long Yuehong's actual combat experience is already rich. Seeing that there is no time to escape, he hurriedly raised his right arm and stood in front of him.

Almost at the same time, his arm was heavy and he was pressed up by the dark shadow.

With the light of the flashlight, Long Yuehong could see the attacker clearly.

It was a familiar face, which should be a neighbor nearby. At this time, his expression was distorted, his eyes were muddy and bloodshot.

"No heart disease"...Someone has another "No heart disease"... Long Yuehong's heart tightened, and the palm of her right hand suddenly became a little red.

This was his subconscious reaction, but soon he controlled his instinct and gave up using the "laser transmitter."

This will penetrate the wall or floor, and it is very easy to accidentally injure others!

When his thoughts flashed, Long Yue's red steel cast iron shook his right arm and threw the "unintentional" out.

Then, he kicked his feet, leaned forward, clenched his iron fist, and swung out.

Pong!

The head of the "unintentional" sank directly, and an exaggerated wound appeared.

Watching the enemy slowly fall, Long Yuehong was a little frightened by the strength of the robotic arm.

After healed from a serious injury, he managed to solve a "unintentional" so easily...

The strength of this simple fist is not much worse than that of the team leader's biological prosthesis, and the hardness is definitely better than a lot of money!

After staying for ten seconds, Long Yuehong turned to the "Order Supervision Room."

…………

The next morning, room 14 on the 647th floor, in the office of the "Old Tune Team".

"There was another ‘innocent disease’ last night?" Bai Chen asked after finishing his work~www.readwn.com~ while preparing to go to the training room.

She heard about this from the early morning radio, so she consulted Yao and Long Yuehong with well-informed local employees.

Shang Jian Yao looked at Long Yuehong.

Long Yuehong let out a "uh":

"I met."

"Are you okay?" Bai Chen asked.

"No." Long Yuehong smiled, "It's relatively easy to solve."

"Has the company's incidence of "no heart disease" increased this year?" Bai Chen turned to another point.

"I don't know." Shang Jianyao shook his head, "I have to let Da Bai check it."

Speaking of Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong realized that the team leader hadn't come until now, and it had been twenty minutes since working hours.
