long night fire

"Too, so rich." Long Yuehong took a breath of the fragrance that filled the air, and admired sincerely.

For him, the Chinese New Year is just like that.

Jiang Baimian glanced at him:

"Didn't you enjoy eating in Qifeng Town?

"I thought that meat dishes like this could no longer impress you like they used to."

"How come?" Long Yuehong retorted instinctively.

He paused, showing nostalgic expression:

"However, the ham and bacon in Qifeng Town are really good..."

Because it has become a vassal of the "Pangaean creatures", Qifeng Town can exchange a sufficient amount of salt at a very cost-effective price, and this will allow them to preserve the excess meat during the hunting season and harvest season, leaving it in places where wild beasts are hard to find. Fight hunger in winter.

"Didn't you say you were tired of eating?" Shang Jianyao, who was beside Long Yuehong, revealed his truth.

Long Yuehong's expression froze:

"At that time, only then!"

While they were talking, Bai Chen returned with a plate and four servings of rice.

She glanced at the portions of meat dishes and the same amount of vegetarian dishes, and blurted out:

"Leader, will this cost you too much?"

"This is a special meat dish, and only 1 contribution point is used." Jiang Baimian pointed to the roast chicken and said, "The others add up to 150 contribution points."

"What do you mean?" Long Yuehong heard the words, "If I eat like this every meal, my monthly salary will only be enough for six days. No, it's less than six days. I didn't count breakfast just now."

"If you can eat so much every meal, I can treat you all the time." Shang Jianyao made a very serious suggestion.

"...Then I'll be exhausted in one day." Long Yuehong thought for a while, and felt that this was not an advantage.

Jiang Baimian then laughed and said:

"It's impossible for me to treat guests like this every meal, once in a while is fine.

"I'm already at D6 level, and you all know how much the basic salary is."

"Each level increases by 500 contribution points, D1 is 1800 points, D2 is 2300...D6 is 4300 points, including various subsidies, even if you don't work as a team leader, you still have at least 4500 points." Long Yuehong seriously After some calculations, "But if you want to eat well every meal and have enough meat dishes, you will have to spend 2000 contribution points a month. This is when we have meal subsidies, or at least 3000 points. Deduction After removing these, as well as energy rationing, water supply, installation costs and various necessary expenses, there will not be much left... If you have to raise a few more children, it will be..."

The more Long Yuehong thought about it, the more difficult life became.

The main reason is that he has adapted to the "luxury" life of having meat and vegetables every day and no children. If he wants to return to the state of a wife, two children, and three meals of meat a week that he dreamed of at the beginning, he will inevitably feel that he is turning his life backwards.

"Stop, stop!" Jiang Baimian interrupted Long Yuehong's calculations, "I'm having a headache talking about it! Besides, why don't you count your wife's salary? The family is supported by two people."

Having said that, Jiang Baimian smiled:

“I actually have a lot left over from my monthly salary.

"My brother got married a long time ago and moved out. I have been living with my parents. Their salary is much higher than mine, as are subsidies and benefits.

"I eat supplements during the day, and eat theirs at night, and the company will even issue uniforms, perfect~"

Jiang Baimian looked around again, and said with a smile:

"You can also get a lot of contribution points this time.

"Bai Chen became a full-time employee and can enjoy the treatment of D1 employees. Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong are promoted to D2 level, and you will get 500 more contribution points per month.

"In addition, there is also a field allowance. This time I went out for almost a month, and everyone can get eight or nine hundred.

"The biggest thing should be the compensation converted from those harvests. I don't know how much this is."

Listening and listening, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen couldn't help thinking about how to spend such a large amount of contribution points.

"I have to apply for a bigger room..." Long Yuehong thought of the cramped environment at home and her brother and sister who had to sleep together with adults, and said to herself.

In "Pangaea", housing is normally assigned according to the level, but if you want to apply for a larger room by leapfrogging, you have to pay a fee, and there is an additional rental fee every month.

Of course, the employees also have tricks, that is, they do not go through the company, and replace them themselves. For example, when the children of some elderly employees have been allocated rooms and are no longer crowded with them, they may charge a fee , Change your own larger and more spacious room to those who are really too crowded at home.

This way, there are no monthly rental fees.

But the problem is that when the two elderly employees die, the company will reclaim the room according to the registered information.

After such a long time of nurturing, Long Yuehong's self-talk was much louder than usual, Jiang Baimian smiled and nodded:

"Good ambition."

She looked at Bai Chen again:

"You probably want to save up all the contribution points, wait until the employee level is enough, and do genetic modification?"

If the employee can pay a large amount of contribution points, or is willing to become a volunteer for some dangerous experiments, then the level required to apply for genetic modification can be lowered, D2 or even D1 level may be successful in the application.

"Hmm." Bai Chen unconsciously pulled the old gray scarf around her neck.

Jiang Baimian nodded lightly and said:

"Let me remind you again that the technology of genetic modification is far from mature, and there are various dangers. If it is not a last resort, it is best not to try it.

"Well... I also know that you must have your own reasons. I just hope you can make a good balance."

Without waiting for Bai Chen to answer, Jiang Baimian inhaled the fragrance that filled the air:

"Eat quickly, eat quickly, the food is getting cold!"

While speaking, she stretched out her chopsticks and tore off the wings of the roast chicken neatly.

Under the yellowish skin is a layer of fat that melts in the mouth, coupled with the taste of several seasonings, Jiang Baimian can hardly stop talking.

Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen also joined in the procession of enjoying the food. Everyone was so absorbed that they had no time to talk.

At the end of the meal, Jiang Baimian took a sip of the vegetable soup, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with satisfaction:

"Every time I come back from the outside, having a meal like this really makes people appreciate the beauty of life."

"That's why it's even more important to save all mankind." Shang Jianyao also put down the bowl and chopsticks, and wiped the corners of his mouth.

"Can't you change some other lines?" Jiang Baimian gave this guy a blank look.

Shang Jian Yao nodded, and suddenly asked:

"Then who do you think Xiao Chong is?"

Hearing Xiao Chong's name, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong, who were still sucking the chicken bones, stopped at the same time.

For them, the name is both mysterious and terrifying, as if it represents some kind of taboo.

For so many days before, they deliberately forgot about Xiao Chong and didn't mention it in any discussions.

Jiang Baimian said silently for a few seconds:

"I suspect that he is the 'Heartless One', the 'Higher Heartless One' in the 'Higher Heartless One', and he can even be called the 'King of the Heartless Ones', maybe, because he was by the side and wanted to see the real gunfight, so I just subconsciously ignored Qiao Chu's other awakened abilities and corresponding range..."

"A 'mindless person' who has recovered human wisdom and memory?" Long Yuehong was taken aback, muttering to himself, "No, how could a 'mindless person' have human intelligence..."

Jiang Baimian said with a serious expression:

"Not only does he have, maybe he also possesses terrifying abilities like deformed creatures and 'higher heartless ones'..."

"A super human?" Bai Chen's tone was inexplicably heavy.

Shang Jian Yao raised his hand:

"Did he trade his body for his inability to grow in exchange for his wisdom?"

"You want to say that Xiao Chong also has serious flaws, far from being a super human?" Jiang Baimian understood Shang Jianyao's subtext.

Shang Jian Yao hesitated and said:

"he is my friend."

"So, you can't speak ill of your friends?" Jiang Baimian tried to read the other party's jumping thoughts.

Shang Jianyao didn't answer.

"Haha." Long Yuehong laughed twice, and suddenly realized, "Aren't I your friend? Why do you often speak ill of me?"

Shang Jian Yao glanced at him:

"I'm just repeating what you said.

"Hey, I've been genetically modified to only be 1 meters tall, and I look average..."

"Stop!" Long Yuehong interrupted Shang Jianyao's rereading.

Jiang Baimian couldn't hide his smile when he saw it, and he stood beside him and said:

"Okay, you all go back and rest.

"Hey... only I have to work overtime to finish the task report and submit it."

"Do you need help?" Bai Chen asked.

Jiang Baimian laughed and said:

"Don't worry, I won't forget what to write and what not to write."

Bai Chen, whose little thoughts were exposed, felt a little ashamed, and lowered his head slightly.

After bidding farewell to Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen, Shang Jianyao and Long Yuehong entered the elevator and returned to the 495th floor.

While the elevator was going down, Long Yuehong looked at herself on the metal wall, and suddenly sighed:

"I don't know if I can successfully transfer from the group this time..."

Before Shang Jianyao could respond, he continued in confusion:

"Actually, I now understand the significance of the work of the 'Old Tune Group'...

"A wife, two children, and three meat meals a week inside the company is indeed a wonderful life. I still yearn for it, but when I get old, will I feel that my life is wasted and lived in vain?"

Shang Jianyao looked ahead and ignored him.

Long Yuehong remained silent, until the elevator reached the 495th floor, and then said with a smile:

"Let it be your fate."

Shang Jian Yao glanced at him:

"Then go back and change your name."

While talking, they separated at the fork in the road and went back to their homes.

Not long after, Shang Jianyao arrived at Room 196 in Area B.

As soon as he took out the key, he saw a stick figure of a baby drawn with white chalk at the bottom of the door.

This is not something too surprising inside the "Pangaea" where children are full of graffiti. If you don't like it, just wipe it off.

But Shang Jianyao knew that such a picture, such a position, represented a certain meaning:

Tomorrow at 5:30 in the morning, at the old place, the "Sacrifice of Life" church will gather.

Shang Jian Yao raised his hand and gently wiped the corner of his mouth.

Chapter 4 Familiar life

After opening the door with a brass-colored key, Shang Jianyao saw the familiar wooden bed, sink, expansion screws, red lacquered wooden table and matching chairs with the help of the street lamp on the ceiling.

It's exactly the same as when he left.

Thanks to the good ventilation system of the underground building and the unique geographical environment, Shang Jianyao didn't even feel that the room was dull, nor did he see obvious dust accumulation.

He walked in slowly, closed the door behind his back, took off the old rag hanging by the sink, turned on the faucet, and wet it.

Then, Shang Jianyao sometimes bent down, sometimes squatted down, and wiped all the places that could be wiped.

When he finished all this, it was exactly 7 o'clock.

Shang Jianyao, who had taken a shower and changed into regular clothes in the security department, immediately took the key and went out to the "activity center" on this floor.

Along the way, the employees who had dinner returned one after another, and many of them knew Shang Jianyao.

They nodded to each other as greetings.

Soon, Shang Jianyao arrived at the "Activity Center" located in Area C, and saw a few young men squatting or standing at the door chatting, and Shen Du was walking towards him.

The middle-aged man who "guided" Shang Jianyao to join the "Life Sacrifice" sect showed surprise on his face:
