Chapter 43: Between Life and Death

Amid the violent shock, our car rolled out of the road and turned over the isolation belt before lying in the middle of the sidewalk with its legs facing up. Almost as soon as the car body stopped, I could have heard the sound of an alarm. Of course, this is not a traffic policeman who is here to deal with the accident. Even if China has developed for another hundred years, the police would not have such a speed of reaction. Obviously, if these police cars didn't happen to pass by, they would have been chasing the car that hit us just now.

Although it was bombed out of the road, our car had five people after all, and it was a medium-sized vehicle. Although it was overturned for a few laps, the car itself was not seriously damaged, but the posture on the head and feet was very troublesome now. I gently lit the seat belt with my fingernails and easily cut the seat belt. This is the best thing for the Dragon Clan, and it can be used as a weapon everywhere. After the lack of the restraint of the seat belt, I immediately stood upside down on the roof of the car, and then quickly looked at the others. Huang Gang and Cao En were the luckiest, they were both located in the room.

The other side of the car was hit, and the car had lateral airbags, which just protected the bodies of the two of them. Lin Xiao sat in the middle of the second row and hit Cao En's right shoulder. It seemed that there was no trauma on the surface, but his expression probably hit hard. Zhao Zhiping may be the most unlucky one. He and I were directly on the side of the impact, but he was not as strong as me after all. He now looked bloody and looked scary, but it was nothing big to see that he could still hum.

Now I have to get everyone out quickly. I turned around and grabbed the deformed car door and lifted it up hard, then pushed it out. With the sound of metal deformation, I took the door down. I first walked around to the opposite side and pulled the front door off. Several passers-by had already come over to help drag Huanggang out. I continued to remove the rear door and then pulled out the three people in the rear row one by one.

Among the four, Huang Gang was the least injured. Apart from being shocked, he was almost nothing. He could stand up by himself if he was lifted out. Cao En was about the same as Huang Gang, but he kept covering his right shoulder. It seemed that he was hit by Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao was even more miserable than Cao En. Both shoulders were hurt, and there was blood on his face. It seemed that his head was injured, but it was not a big injury. Zhao Zhiping could already sit by himself when he was lifted out, but he couldn't stand up. His legs, shoulders and head were injured.

I didn't have time to care about them now, but rushed directly to the car that hit us. This car was not actually the culprit. It was hit by someone else and hit us, while the car that was really speeding overturned across the road.

There were three people sitting in the car that was hit by the car. The body of the car was seriously deformed. The woman on the co-pilot's head turned into a pile of rotten flesh. A boy about ten years old sat in the back row, as if he was already fainted. The person driving was a young woman of twenty-one or two years old. But now her face was covered in blood and she couldn't tell her appearance at all.

The co-pilot's man had obviously rescued him. I directly inserted the rear door, then reached out and pushed the metal that was deformed and squeezed into the car body back, and then pulled the child out of the seat cushion. He first handed him to a young man following behind him. Then he went to remove the front door, but the car was deformed too seriously. I exerted force and heard a creaking sound, and half of the door was torn off. The rest was too sharp.

It was hard to start at all, and there was no one who could pass the exit. I looked at the support beam between the front and rear doors, and then broke and twisted the support beam in the shocked gaze of the young man who had just helped me pick up the child, and then rolled the entire roof upward like a carpet. After completing this, I hugged the front driver's seat and lifted it up. With a sour metal twisting sound, I pulled the entire driver's seat off the chassis.

He turned to the young man and said, "Forget everything you saw just now, you understand the consequences of talking nonsense." I am not a threat. Although it is more troublesome to find reasons to catch him, it is still easy to send him to a mental hospital if he tells me what I have saved.

Seeing the young man nodding wisely, I jumped across the road and arrived at the opposite side of the vehicle that caused the accident. Although I hit two of our cars in a row, the vehicle itself suffered very minor injuries because it was a modified civilian Hummer, and a set of pure steel collision machines were also installed in front. Not to mention crashing, even if it hits a wall, it would be unlucky. It would definitely not happen. The people in the car obviously only suffered a slight shock. However, the door was a little deformed and seemed to be unable to open.

Although it was unlucky for us to be hit by him, it was just a car accident after all. I walked over and grabbed the door handle and pulled it hard. The slightly deformed door was easily pulled open. After all, it was just a little deformed, which was much better than our tram. Who knew that as soon as I pulled the door open, the person inside jumped out, then quickly flashed behind me and hooked my neck, and a homemade short tube sand spray gun pressed on my temple.

"Don't move."

There were four people sitting in the car. When they saw the door opened, they got out of here together. The police also arrived quickly and instantly surrounded these people and me.

"Don't come here, I have a hostage." The people who hijacked me shouted loudly, and the police stopped immediately. China's public security is better than many countries, so most of the police don't bring guns. The police in these chased them had several pistols, but unfortunately they didn't dare to move the hostages when they saw the criminals.

I sighed helplessly. "Really, why are you always unlucky about me? Hey, bastard, if you don't want to lie on the hospital bed for the rest of your life and can't even control your urine and defecation, it's better to take the gun away from my head immediately."

"Shut up and let me know if you make a noise again, I'll make you a blow." The guy holding the gun pounded my head with the barrel.

"Oh... it's terrible to be uneducated!" I suddenly raised my hand and pinched the guy's barrel at a speed that no one could see clearly, and then pinched his barrel like a plastic straw. Before he could react, I grabbed his neck with one hand and lifted him off the ground. "Remember what I just said, you bastard?"

"Hey, what are you doing?" The four bandits next to me saw that I raised the gun and immediately took the weapon and wanted to greet me. However, only one of them had a pistol I had found, and the other three were only wearing machetes. I directly used the person in my hand as a weapon to smash the man with the gun, and then moved away from the big knife that was slashed, and gently bounced the back of the knife. The machete was immediately broken into two pieces. Two guys behind me cut down together. I turned around and moved away from one of them and bounced his knife. The other stretched out and pinched the blade of the other with two fingers. The guy's knife was instantly controlled by me. No matter how hard he tried, he could not get the knife off my fingers.

When the two of them saw the knife losing control, they immediately began to kick me. I turned around and flashed to one of them, with one index finger on the back of his head. The man immediately fell straight and fell forward on the concrete road. The blood from the nose was sprayed all over the ground. The other person missed a single kick. But I had already killed one and reached him again. The corner of my foot was on the only foot he landed on the ground. He immediately fell forward unsteadily. I raised my knee slightly and hit the bridge of his nose in the posture of his fall. In an instant, the guy had blood in his nose and tears flowed up and lay on the ground and rolled straight.

The guy who was first to break the blade by me and the two guys who fell into a pile had already climbed up from the ground. I spread my hands and leaned forward. One leg supported the ground, and the other leg was thrusting upwards, hitting the guy behind me between the legs of the guy behind me. The guy behind me immediately heard a scream as if he was pinched his throat, and then he fell down like a shrimp. His face turned white.

The two guys I used to smash into a bunch of people were actually in shock before they were thrown out, but the man with the gun got up. He touched his gun again and raised it up. Just as he was about to find the target, he saw a sole of the shoe appear in front of him, and he fell down with stars all over his eyes.

"Hmph. A bunch of waste!" I took out my ID and walked towards the police. A responsible police officer came over and looked at the ID and handed it back to me. I patted him on the shoulder. "This is for you."

"Okay, you go first."

When I returned to the crowd on this side of the road, Zhao Zhiping was still sitting on the ground, and the blood on his face was wiped off, as if it was basically bleeding from his nose, and the injury on his head was not too serious. I went over and touched his legs, and he started to scream in pain.

"What are you doing?"

"The bones were not damaged. It was just a muscle contusion. It might be a little swollen in the past two days, and it will be cured in two days."

"It seems that I can't go to Longyuan Base with you now!" Cao En said.

"No, let's go to Jian Fan first, and then go to Longyuan Base. The equipment there is much better than the hospital."

I heard that there were medical equipment there, so several people immediately agreed to go with us. I called the Longyuan Di people to deal with the matter after the crash, and I took the remaining people to borrow a police car and drove to the agreed location.

Jian Fan was obviously stunned when he saw us driving a police car with injuries all over. But he didn't say much. Only after getting in the car did we talk to him about the situation just now.

Six people were a little crowded with each car, so I asked Huang Gang to drive. Because this guy was too big, sitting in front would save us some space. The co-pilot gave him to Zhao Zhiping. He was seriously injured and often encountered wounds when he squeezed with us. Fortunately, the four people in the back were relatively small and they couldn't sit down.

Under our guidance, Huang Gang drove the car to a Longyuan branch company, and then asked the company's local people to help return the police car, and borrowed a spacious business car to return to the base.

"Is this the Longyuan Nanjing branch base?" Huang Gang asked in surprise as he looked at the huge entrance on the entire surface of the mountain.

"Of course, since you call the base is naturally a place with security purposes, otherwise just call it Nanjing branch. Okay, don't stand stupidly, come in, they girls are much faster than you."

A group of people were taken into the base by me, and then I went to the guard room to register the temporary entry and exit permit, and then went to the full disinfection and treated the injured before officially leaving the base. Faced with such strict protection measures, these college students couldn't help but suck the air conditioner. Rose had already taken two girls to the restaurant first. When we arrived, they even ordered the dishes. Now it's time to have dinner. According to the habits of our Chinese people, talking about things at the dinner table is often faster than the negotiating table.

Rose specially ordered several special alcohols, and then under our persuasion, they drank a little regardless of how many men and women were. In fact, this so-called wine is not wine at all. The alcohol content in it is at most two degrees by degree. Its main ingredient is a nerve relaxant, which can effectively relax the mind and body and not cause brain confusion. It is one of the favorite drinks of the base researchers. Of course, we have a special meaning. Although this wine is not intoxicating, it also has the effect of speaking the truth after drinking. It is not wrong to say that it is a torture potion.

After a few glasses of wine, these unwarranted college students immediately began to speak without any restraint. Huang Gang said loudly: "To be honest, I don't care whether the volunteers can be selected this time. Anyway, I thought that even if I can't choose, it would be easier to go to work in the future. I heard that Longyuan has a computer-related system that can record all people who have contact with your company, and use various information to design the kindness of the company with the company. People with different kindnesses will have different reactions to the company, right?"

Huang Gang really has something. But it is not an independent system, but a branch function of Nuwa. In the past, the country planned to let Longyuan contract the national computer system instead of the current government management model, but later it was left unresolved due to many personnel reasons. However, the infrastructure of this system was completed at that time. Later, this host network was incorporated into Nuwa's control. In addition, the national household registration management system and archive system, traffic management system, personal credit system and crime monitoring system, the current national personnel friendly system, which basically means conducting a general behavior monitoring of each citizen in advance and selecting the right person from it to do the corresponding things. Of course, Longyuan has never admitted to the public that there is this set of things, because this thing itself is actually illegal, and it has actually expanded to the issue of personal privacy rights. However, because outsiders do not know whether this system exists, so we have no choice.

Of course I couldn't answer this positively. I had to fight them. Fortunately, these guys talked about it unintentionally and did not go into it. The only thing that made me notice was Jian Fan. It was different from others. After I deliberately avoided this question, he just smiled and obviously had guessed it. It seems that there are still capable people among these people!

After a meal, Rose and I shook each other, and then took the seven of them to the elevator at the entrance of the base, making them unsure what I was going to do. I changed my smile and kind attitude that I had maintained since the meeting, and said in a cold voice: "The previous conversation has been almost done. I think I have already understood your general situation."

After hearing my words, these people became quiet, and they obviously realized that I was going to make a choice.

My eyes swept over them, and then shouted: "Lin Xiao."

Lin Xiao froze slightly. Then he walked out. I said to him: "I'm sorry to disturb you for so long, but since you volunteered to participate in this plan, you should understand and support our actions. This plan is very important, and we have to carefully select and eliminate most people. You have good abilities in all aspects, but your personality is too weak. I sometimes choose to give in when I encounter problems, but the premise is that doing so can better solve this problem. Your blindly giving in character is really not competent for this task."

Lin Xiao seemed to know his shortcomings, so he nodded and stood aside. Rose comforted him and said, "Don't worry. If you can be taken here alone, it means you are already outstanding people. So even if you are eliminated, Longyuan will still invite you to join the company after you graduate. Lin Xiao, although you are a little weak in character, it is still very suitable to deal with technical things."

I continued: "Huang Gang."

Huang Gang was also stunned for a moment, and finally scratched his head. "I didn't expect that I was eliminated too."

I smiled and said, "Your problem is exactly the opposite of Lin Xiao. Remember, steel is very easy to break, and sometimes you can give in to things that are harmless. Don't do anything with others, so you will suffer sooner or later."

"Actually, I know, but I have this personality, I really can't do anything about it!" He also stood aside.

I turned to face the others and continued to shout: "Zhao Zhiping."

"Why me?" Zhao Zhiping's reaction was obviously different from others. Others could accept reality calmly, but he couldn't.

"Because your emotions are obviously excessive and have certain antisocial tendencies, to put it simply, you are cynical."

"I……!"

Zhao Zhiping just opened his mouth and was stopped by me. "No need to explain, the choice has been made, and I will not change it because of your explanation. So it is useless for your explanation. You should learn more about Lin Xiao and Huang Gang. Their shortcomings are exactly what you don't have."

"Their shortcomings?"

"I will help you point out your shortcomings and don't be angry. This will be good for your future. But even if you will hate me in the future, I don't care. Anyway, with your status and ability, it is impossible to do any substantial harm to me. I just said that the shortcomings of both of them are what you lack. Lin Xiao has a weak personality and takes the initiative to give in to everything. This is actually caused by excessive psychological modesty. But you just don't know how to advance or retreat. Many things are simply small accidents, and you will endure it. If you want to do anything with others for such trivial matters, you will definitely get out of it.

If you fight, then you will definitely lose more than you fight back. Although Huang Gang and Lin Xiao’s personalities are completely opposite, there are also things that you deserve to learn from. Although Huang Gang’s temper is a little straight, he is hard-working, and even if he can’t fight, he will fight for the forces that cannot be fought for, and you are different. In general, you have indeed fought for everything in every possible way. But when you encounter a tough enemy, you will become softer. To put it bluntly, you are bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. You must understand that some things are not allowed to fight for even if you pay a heavy price, otherwise you will lose everything."

Zhao Zhiping's face was quite ugly after I said so much, but I didn't plan to take care of him. It was actually helping him to find out his shortcomings. Whether he accepts it himself or not is not my business. Our dragon clan only teaches people how to fish, but will never teach people how to fish. Those who insist on waiting for us to give them fish will starve to death. We will not pity these people.

After removing the three people, I said to the remaining four people: "You have passed my initial approval. But I said that there are not many people in this task, so there will still be eliminated among you. You better prepare for this first. You three are taking the elevator up now, and someone will receive you from above."

The first time the seven people screened, I lost three of them, and I made a big cut. According to the suggestions given by Nuwa, this time it would be enough to only have one person, but Nuwa also mentioned that two people could be selected as reserve candidates to prevent in case. Therefore, at least one of these four people must be eliminated, and the remaining three must also be selected as the primary and secondary.

After the three of them left, I explained to Rose and took the remaining four people to do the spy test. This level must be passed, because the place where they were to be taken to involve confidentiality. What the three of them just left just saw was the life auxiliary area of ​​the base, and there was no confidentiality at all, so the inspection was relatively simple, and it would be different if it went down.

Not bad. All four of them passed at once. This was normal. After all, these people were screened from a large number of volunteers, and the political review alone had passed n times. I guess in the end, the interpersonal relationships of the seven people in the land I got in the land of the information were all reviewed. If this could still get into the spy, it would be time to go home and eat myself.

It was already past seven o'clock when the four of them returned to me. I brought them all a gate before. After the elevator door opened, I walked to the gate and blocked all four of them outside. "Although it was a waste of time to say it, I still have to say it. You may choose to withdraw before you really enter the area below. Once you enter this gate, your life will change from then on. Many things you could never imagine before will completely overturn your understanding of the world. I am not exaggerating because there is no need. If you enter this gate, it means you agree to join the special scientific research unit of Longyuan Group. Even if you lose the election, you still cannot leave the management of the group. Longyuan's mass department is no different from ordinary companies, but the special scientific research unit has not withdrawn. Once you join, the only way for you to leave is to be in the form of a corpse. So, I asked solemnly last, do you want to give up?"

The four of them were all screened through layers and their reactions were indeed very good. They walked in immediately without impulse and were not really scared away, but they thought for a while.

As expected, the first of the four remaining people was Wenrui, who had always been very elegant. The girl was 1.73 meters tall, but she was very thin and had no slight figure liked by perverts. However, her face was very delicate, and her pretty pair of gold-rimmed glasses. She exuded a cultural atmosphere, and she was an intellectual beauty with a temperament greater than her appearance.

Wenrui said in her clear voice: "Joining Longyuan is one of my wishes. As for quitting, I have never thought about this. But I really want to know what unit is the special scientific research unit of Longyuan Group, and why we are not joining the research plan but a unit?"

"This is really hard to explain, because it involves confidentiality and cannot be told before you join. But you don't have to worry about it. Although the name contains the word "troop", it is not used for war. It is more functionally similar to that of scientific research auxiliary institutions, and is similar to ordinary company employees. It is just that the things in contact are more confidential. Moreover, even regular troops have civilian positions, so you don't have to care about this."

After listening to the explanation, Wenrui nodded immediately: "Then I decided to join." As Wenrui said that, she had already walked past me and entered the elevator.

The second person walking into the elevator was Jian Fan. This guy didn't say anything, but I knew he should have thought everything clearly. Although Cao En was the third person, he was relatively fast. He rushed into the elevator in front of Jian Fan. "Being a soldier and joining Longyuan are my wishes. Now I can realize the two of them together and don't join, it's a bad idea."

Finally, there was one Liu Yiling left. After scanning the other three people, she focused her eyes on my face again, but a few seconds later she also walked in.

While the elevator door was closed, I said to them: "Since you have come in, you are already from Longyuandi. While opening all the secrets to you, you must also bear the corresponding responsibilities. Now sign this." I handed over a few spreadsheets.

Jian Fan looked and said, "Why does it feel like a contract to sell your body?"

Cao En quipped from the side: "Does anyone want your own business?"

"You two are so evil!" Wen Rui said in a angrily voice.

When several people filled out the form and handed it to me, the elevator door opened, but they were surprised. It was not a laboratory with cold white light outside but a large area of ​​grass. The width of the grass surprised everyone from ear to ear. Cao En asked first: "Are we underground?"

"No," I nodded. "This is our No. 7 weapon experimental field. In the base, this is only a medium-sized field, and the No. 1 experimental field is the largest."

“How big is this?”

"I don't know the specific numbers."

"Why didn't the roof collapse?"

"Because the electromagnetic support system and super hard and ultra-light special materials are used, it can support such a large space without using support columns."

"How high is the mountain over there?" Wenrui asked, looking at the woods in the distance of the grass and the peaks further away.

"That mountain is fake." I said directly: "Don't think that this place seems to be invisible. In fact, the space is not too large. Although our Longyuan has strong technical strength, it is not yet enough to make a living out of nothing. The actual area of ​​this site is about the size of sixteen Tiananmen Squares, and it is dragged up by 3,600 electromagnetic support systems in the middle. The ground is covered with a 30-meter-thick soil layer. It can basically simulate the ground environment. The grass you see is real grass, and the trees there are also real, but there are only a few rows in the front, and the large forest behind and the mountains further away are projected. The above we look like clouds and earth on the top of our heads, which are actually water vapor masses, and the lighting equipment is hidden in it, which can completely simulate the sunshine situation. There are also large air conditioners and spray systems here, which can create various weather environments. We generally test the road adaptability of various vehicles in extreme weather here."

"Is that river real?"

"Yes." There are still fish in the river. I caught a few last time. They taste much better than the farmed fish supplied by the market.

"Longyuan is so strong, you can do it all. I really feel more and more that my choice is right!" Cao En shouted excitedly.

Jian Fan suddenly asked, "What are you taking us here for?" The other three people also recovered from their excitement when he asked. They all looked at me with curious eyes.

"Take you here to complete the remaining tests."
To be continued...
