Embers Ad Infinitum

"Pangaeon", at the entrance of the underground building.

Liu Chengkun led his team of security staff behind the silver-white gate, all of them were a little lazy.

They brought in a lot of chairs, either paralyzed or sitting, or in a daze or chatting, leaving only four colleagues with guns standing next to the two new security cameras, earnestly on duty.

It's not that they cheat, cheat and sabotage their work, but that the number of people entering and leaving the underground building every day is quite limited. Liu Chengkun and others have nothing to do most of the time. If they are forced to maintain a state of high alert, it will only cause them to be physically and mentally exhausted. Only superficially focused, but actually become loose, so it is better to let them work in groups of four, each for an hour when no one is in and out.

Liu Chengkun sat on his back chair with lumbar support, glanced at all his subordinates, and nodded with satisfaction.

He was satisfied not only with the concentration and earnestness of the four on-duty staff and their full alertness, but also with the satisfaction that the rest of the staff were resting and relaxing, but they did not completely forget their responsibilities and were still straining on the last string.

It's not a bad day like this... Liu Chengkun leaned back slightly, picked up the iron-black thermos cup he had picked up on the dirt, unscrewed the lid, and took a sip.

There are few things, more contributions, and no danger. It is a true portrayal of his current position. I don’t know how many people secretly make small reports on him with envy.

Every time he heard his boss tell him to pay attention, don't be too slack when guarding the entrance, it's easy to be caught by some shady guy, he always sneered in his heart:

Those bastards, I have today fought with my own life. I really thought that the d8 captaincy depends on relationships and accumulated qualifications, so that you can get on at such a young age?

Do you really think that without more than ten years of rich experience, the company will entrust me with such an important thing as guarding the entrance?

You must know that the casualty rate of the employees working in the field of the Ministry of Security is still not low. Even if there are additional subsidies, better meals, and accidental gains that belong to individuals, not many people volunteer to join. After all, under the same rank, The basic salary is the same for everyone. The subsidy and food are not high enough to make people want to fight for their lives. They can survive without starving or freezing to death. At most, they eat less than one or two meals a week. Meat.

As for the “fast promotion”, the best benefit for the employees of the Ministry of Security on field duty, it does exist, but the problem is that every promotion that is fast enough will come to the fore under a hail of bullets and various dangerous tests. There are many colleagues' limbs and even skeletons behind them as foils.

For the rest, the speed of promotion is the same. The best thing is that you can directly raise one level when you transfer back to the inside. Therefore, every year, there are still some ambitious employees who want to win the glory and wealth and actively participate in the selection of the "Security Department". , the vast majority of the others can also be promoted if they think about their seniority and years of experience. They have seniors, seniors, juniors, and partners, so there is really no need to take risks.

Recalling the confrontation with robbers, deformed monsters, other major forces, and dangerous environments and people with special abilities on the dusty soil, Liu Chengkun felt inexplicably heart palpitations, and his bones were a little sore.

Many years ago, he and his colleagues were trapped in the deep part of the swamp by a group of "White Knights" knights disguised as relic hunters. At that time, it was raining and it had been raining for several days. Looking for a way out with one foot, people often fall into the mud, sink quickly, and can't pull it out. He can only watch those familiar and fresh faces being submerged a little bit in despair.

Since then, every cloudy and rainy day, Liu Chengkun's calf has a dull pain, and he often has nightmares when he sleeps.

The pain didn't subside until he returned to the back office.

Rubbing his knees, Liu Chengkun became more and more satisfied with his current work and life. He hoped that he could reach the upper age limit, quit the security department, and transfer to other positions.

At that time, he will be able to go from the d8 captain level to the d9 action group supervisor level, which corresponds to the senior manager level of other departments, second only to the executives starting with m, who can be the supervisor of one floor, the factory of a factory. Chief, or the head of the Order Supervision Bureau of a region.

With such a rank, the contribution points are enough to support a large family, and there are additional benefits such as the allocation of a large room, and the real power is in hand, which can dominate the fate of many people.

In the boundless reverie, Liu Chengkun was a little drowsy.

Just then, he heard the prompt:

"An expatriate employee returned and passed the initial inspection of the system. Please arrange for a second round of inspection to determine whether to open the door."

Liu Chengkun stood up and said to the subordinates on both sides:

"Xiao Dong, Xiao Ke, go check it out."

While waiting, he rubbed his face, trying to be more energetic, so as not to be snitched again.

Before long, he saw a gray-green jeep driving past the open silver-white door, and saw a tall girl push the door and get out of the car, take off the sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, revealing her familiar and beautiful face.

"Mian..." Liu Chengkun had just shouted the first word, suddenly remembered something, and quickly changed his words, "Are you back?"

He no longer acted too familiar and called him by his nickname because he was a good friend of Jiang Baimian's brother. He already knew that Jiang Baimian was a d9 supervisor-level employee before this assignment, and his own The boss is on an equal footing.

This made Liu Chengkun ashamed, but also a little restrained.

According to the rules and regulations of "Pangu Creatures", it really fits the situation, and Jiang Baimian may be transferred to directly manage them.

After all, the other party can upgrade from d6 to d9 in the first two years, and she must have accumulated enough contributions from fieldwork to backwork. As long as she doesn't want to strike while the iron is hot and squeeze into the management team, she can change positions at any time.

Jiang Baimian smiled and said:

"Yeah, it's been almost half a year since I went out this time."

It is late autumn now.

While she was talking to Liu Chengkun, Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen got off the car respectively, opened the trunk, took out all the items, and accepted the inspection.

As for the fact that their elite team has two military exoskeleton devices, Liu Chengkun knew it when he was on duty last year, and he was mentally prepared. However, seeing one crate after another being lifted and opened, his The eyes still widened involuntarily.

"One, two, three...one, two..."

There are three military exoskeleton devices and two bionic intelligent armors!

This is no longer a luxury for a team of only four.

What a waste!

"You are this?" Liu Chengkun couldn't help but ask.

What is the task of such a team outside?

A similar configuration is enough to fight an unguarded action team!

Shang Jianyao explained solemnly:

"Just like a car needs a spare tire, equipment needs to be replaced."

Back then, it would be great to have two bionic smart armors in one action team, unless it was a specialized, centralized application team... Liu Chengkun sneered in his heart.

He watched Jiang Baimian and the others pass the security check one after another with complicated eyes, and sighed long and silently.

This team is a special case among special cases. It can continue to be promoted at such an exaggerated rate without loss of personnel. It is the first time in the entire "Pangu Creatures".

Others who can be promoted faster than them are all awakened powerful abilities, one-step implementation, which belongs to the improvement of personal nature, not the feedback of the team performing tasks.

So, what did they do on the dirt to be worthy of three military exoskeleton devices, two bionic intelligent armors, and several leapfrogging promotions in the first two years, surpassing other field employees by ten Years, 20 years of contribution? Liu Chengkun watched Jiang Baimian and others drive into the parking lot with envy and doubt.

He even had a little doubt that these four people would have a promotion in rank this time.

No, it shouldn't be possible for Mianmian. She will be promoted to management. Except for those talented scientists and powerful awakeners, this will be the youngest management, only twenty-five-year-old management... Liu Chengkun suddenly became emotional. Surging, impulsively wanting to submit an application, return to the field force, and fight for prosperity.

Of course, he just thought about it. After sighing, he sat back on the back chair with lumbar support, half-squinted his eyes and watched the surrounding employees relax one after another, listening to them chatting about Jiang Baimian's team's luxury equipment and All kinds of rumors.

Well, this kind of life is good... Liu Chengkun leaned back and thought.

…………

Floor 647, Room 14.

Jiang Baimian, who had been sterilized, drawn blood, rinsed, etc., threw himself into the chair behind the team leader's desk as before, and assumed a semi-paralyzed posture.

"Comfortable!" she said with a smile.

That's what it's like to be home.

boom! Shang Jianyao also threw himself towards the seat, almost smashing the chair to pieces.

Long Yuehong looked around happily, and then said to Bai Chen:

"I'll tell my mom and dad about our affairs when I go back today, and try to take you to see them tomorrow night."

"Don't be in such a hurry, right?" The bystander Shang Jianyao answered him, "It seems that Xiaobai is not reserved enough!"

Bai Chen, who thought it didn't matter at first, hesitated.

She still hopes to be able to integrate into the small society of "Pangu Creatures", and does not want to be criticized and make irresponsible remarks.

In this regard, she herself is nothing, and she is mentally strong enough. What she worries about is that Long Yuehong is depressed because of it.

Long Yuehong thought for a while and said:

"Yeah yeah~www.readwn.com~ Gotta pick a good day."

"Pangu creatures" is not so particular about the interior. The so-called good days are weekends, when the family rests.

In this way, Bai Chen's first visit as a guest will not be neglected.

"Okay." Bai Chen didn't object.

Seeing this, Jiang Baimian clapped his hands and said with a smile:

"Okay, okay, don't show your affection in front of us.

"Think about what to eat in the cafeteria when the test report comes out."

Those who have wandered outside for a long time and returned to the ground will inevitably be checked for infectious diseases.

Long Yuehong and Shang Jianyao replied in unison:

"The type that isn't in the can!"

After speaking, all four of them laughed.
