Chapter 16: Steady progress

"Long Ye Yu Huo ( to find the latest chapter!

In the almost solidified darkness, Shang Jian Yao and Jiang Baimian sat facing each other, no one spoke.

Before you know it, there seems to be an atmosphere where whoever speaks first loses.

Finally, Jiang Baimian broke this Shen Ning and laughed at himself:

"How am I better than you?"

While speaking, she stood up, covered her mouth, and yawned:

"I'll lie down on the sofa and sleep for a while.

"Well, you can count your heartbeats, carefully feel the movement of each part of your body, or you can go through all the oral history you have seen before in your mind, do a brief sorting and review, and see if you can catch some. Inspiration, or sort through Wang Yafei’s seriousness from beginning to end to see if you have missed any important points. In addition, you can also get up and walk, take a walk, as long as you can see it, dancing is fine."

After the instruction, Jiang Baimian took a step forward, bypassing various obstacles in the dark and light, and successfully reached the sofa area.

Shang Jianyao spoke with regret:

"You didn't stumble."

Jiang Baimian suddenly smiled and said:

"It's very cooperative, I know to mention this.

"When I turned on the flashlight just now, I observed the surrounding environment and remembered the exact location of most items. At the same time, I could sense the electrical signals of my own movement to adjust the direction so as not to deviate from the scheduled landing. point.

"Remember, no matter where you are, you have to quickly grasp the layout and terrain nearby. This can save lives at critical moments."

Obviously, she was very proud of this matter.

After educating the team members, Jiang Baimian sat down and shrank his legs:

"I slept."

As soon as the voice fell, she laughed again:

"If you are scared, you can wake me up.

"You can't use singing!"

Seeing Yao's words rushing to his lips, Shang was blocked back at once.

Jiang Baimian deliberately pretended to be asleep, and after waiting for a while, he was gradually relieved to see that Shang saw that Yao did not show the same state as before.

She really fell asleep by pretending to be.

Jiang Baimian was awakened by the sudden light.

She stood up abruptly, lifted the thick cotton coat she was covering, and glanced at left and right slightly blankly:

"what time is it."

"It's 6:30." Shang Jianyao's voice came from near his original location.

Jiang Baimian looked subconsciously and found that this guy was standing on his back against the wall.

"What are you doing?" Although Jiang Baimian has always been able to grasp what Shang Jianyao is about to respond recently, and blocked what he wanted to say in advance, this time, she really couldn't understand what the other person meant when standing upside down. .

Shang Jian Yao kept his posture unchanged, and answered calmly:

"Change the way of thinking.

"Look at the problem from another angle."

"...This angle is indeed extraordinary." Jiang Baimian praised against his will, "then what do you gain?"

"No." Seeing Yao's waist and abdomen forcefully, Shang stood up with his arms supported.

Jiang Baimian decided not to continue this topic, took two silent breaths, and then asked:

"How was it okay after last night?"

"Just can't go to the toilet." Shang Jian Yao answered calmly.

Jiang Baimian felt relieved and said with a smile:

"You can go.

"The public toilets here also have sensor lights at night."

"The main reason is that it is easy to bump into things before going out." Shang Jianyao explained seriously.

Jiang Baimian was about to reply, "I will hit you, and I won't kill you." Suddenly he changed his mind and sketched a smile:

"Is it worried about making movement and waking me up?"

"It's impolite." Shang Jianyao didn't show his mind at all.

Jiang Baimian immediately praised:

"It's not bad."

She moved her waist and hands and feet, and said with a smile:

"You have adapted well. Continue to read oral history this morning, and you can go back to rest in the afternoon without training.

"After that, it's your turn to come to watch the night, don't be too anxious, go forward step by step.

"As long as you can walk steadily at every step, believe me, your fear is not a big problem, you can definitely overcome it."

Having said that, Jiang Baimian thought:

"I have read an old world book with this sentence:

"Anything that cannot destroy me will make me strong." (Note 1)

Shang Jian Yao nodded his head, indicating that he had remembered.

As Jiang Baimian walked to the door, he said casually:

"I went to wash.

"Um... I have to take a good rest tonight.

"No, what if Bai Chen also has similar fears? What if Long Yuehong is more afraid of the dark than you, and even more afraid of the silent and closed darkness?

"Hey, I have to watch these two nights, and nothing can go wrong...

"It's so tiring to be the team leader!"

After listening to Jiang Baimian’s complaint quietly, Shang Jianyao asked:

"I can help you watch them."

Jiang Baimian frowned and asked vigilantly:

"Are you trying to scare them?"

"Since we are training courage, how can we miss this link?" Shang Jianyao was confident.

Jiang Baimian's eyes moved slightly and said with a smile:

"This suggestion can be considered, but it can't be put in the first few times. What should I do if I am frightened?"

Hey, when the time comes, who will scare who is not necessarily.

Seeing that Yao didn't say anything, Shang hurried out and went to the public toilet.

…………

At 7 o'clock in the evening, after waking up, he went to the small cafeteria on the 647th floor for dinner, and then returned to the "activity center" on the 495th floor.

As usual, he found an empty corner and sat there, observing everyone coming and going.

Not surprisingly, he saw Long Yuehong and his blind date.

The difference is that this time, Long Yuehong spent a lot of money to go to the "material supply market" next door to buy candies, pumpkin seeds and glass bottles of drinks.

He got the compensation and rewards and his life has been turbulent recently.

"Luxury..." Shang Jianyao commented in a low voice.

As he moved his eyes, he noticed Jian Xin, who was there with delicate and delicate hair and short ears, watching her husband Zhuo Zhengyuan play cards.

After so many days, this woman who was worried and nervous after Wang Yafei's death seemed to be back to normal, her face was **** again, and she was having a good chat with the people around her.

In the same way, the sadness, fear and empathy she felt from Shen Du's death seemed to no longer exist.

After a while, Jian Xin bowed her head and said to her husband Zhuo Zhengyuan, turned around and walked to the door.

She looked like she was going to a public toilet.

Shang Jianyao suddenly got up, walked over a few steps, and "ran into" with Jian Xin in the area near the door.

There is no one here.

Jian Xin saw that it was Shang Jianyao, his expression became a little complicated, and he smiled reluctantly:

"I heard that you and Long Yuehong found a lot of good things on the surface?"

While speaking, she couldn't help but glance at the mechanical watch that Yao was wearing on her left wrist.

"These things are all in ruins." Shang Jianyao said truthfully.

Without waiting for Jian Xin to speak again, he asked bluntly:

"On that day, did you see anyone on the 478th floor that you shouldn't see?"

He did not directly say the words "the day of Wang Yafei's death".

Jian Xin's face turned pale, as thin as a mosquito:

"I have been thinking about this in the past few days.

"I was busy cleaning and didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation."

She paused, and said quickly:

"Later, Wang Yafei died. I was very upset and scared. I was even more in no mood to observe."

While speaking, she glanced left and right and pursed her lower lip:

"The only person who makes me feel strange is Xiong Ming.

"I ran into him when I was eating in the cafeteria at noon. He should normally work in the'Inner Ecological Zone'. Maybe he was on sick leave..."

Shang Jianyao's expression remained unchanged, and he asked suddenly:

"Why are you so impressed with him?"

Speaking of this matter~www.ltnovel.com~ Jian Xin is not so scared, and the volume has recovered a bit:

"He himself is easy for people to remember. You don't know, he has some problems with his eyes, his eyes don't seem to move very much, just staring at you like that, nothing can be found next to him..."

"That's it." Shang Jianyao nodded and suddenly said, "This matter has passed."

"Hope." Jian Xin sighed slightly and pointed outside, "I'm out."

Shang Jian Yao did not stop him, and went to the other side.

The two of them seemed to meet each other on the way, and they chatted a few words when there was no one around.

In the early morning of the next day, Shang Jianyao entered Room 14 on the 647th floor long in advance.

He waited for a while, and Jiang Baimian finally arrived.

"I'll be here first." He seemed to have won some major victory.

Jiang Baimian "heh" said:

"I don't want to irritate you. I cook my own breakfast at home."

She cooks a meal for her parents from time to time.

Fearing that this topic would make Shang Jian Yao uncomfortable, Jiang Baimian looked at the other person and asked:

"You have something to do so early, right?"

Shang Jianyao nodded:

"I met Jane Xin yesterday..."

He told the story of Xiong Ming who was supposed to go to work but had lunch on the floor where he lived, and he didn't forget to mention the details of the target's eyes that are different from ordinary people.

Jiang Baimian heard his expression floating and nodded slightly:

"This person's suspicion is indeed very big, there are traces of paying the price.

"The next thing is how to seek confirmation from him and get clues without a trace."

Having said that, Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao and laughed:

"The time has come to test your ability to make friends!

"Of course, it can also test your ability to recognize relatives."
