It was the first time she had lunch with Colonel Lance. The location is a crowded restaurant.

Then she was surprised to find that Lily had a black face, and she was followed by a person who looked like a special forces uniform. When Lily saw her, she immediately walked to the table with a dinner plate, ignoring Colonel Lance and sitting directly next to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan glanced at the person who was following Lily, and Lily snorted coldly, "What do you see, don't you have one too?" she viciously put the baked potato into her mouth, "Is Colonel Lance very free? I don't know what's going on, the research institute suddenly asked all the heads of classified projects to be equipped with supervisors." I don't know if it's a mess or a mess. Your project has just been set at level 3. ”

Chen Yan subconsciously looked at Lance, but found that the other party had no expression, nor did he say that he was actually not "very idle".

Chen Yan thought for a moment and replied vaguely, "Hmm." Doesn't that require a lot of people to be regulators? After all, classified items above level 3 are classified at the level of confidential. ”

"How can there be so many! Level 3 is the highest, and there are no more than three in the entire Academy of Sciences. As for the fourth level, I have never heard of it. That's a legend," Lily said, giving her a blank look, "or did I insist that we have to stay in the dormitory for the night before our superiors approved that we not have to move out with the overseers." Otherwise, just wait and cry!"

Huh, Chen Yan felt that this logic was not quite right. Colonel Lance had brought it up first, so she could still stay in the dormitory. However, looking at Lily's smug appearance, Chen Yan still decided not to hit her, "Yes, yes, you are the best", and flatteringly gave her a fork to eat.

Chen Yan felt that Colonel Lance seemed to be glancing over this side, with displeasure.

"Rookie, you're here too—boss!" Adolf and Mena walked over, put one together at their table, and sat down in a squeeze.

"I see that the relationship between the two of you is so good, it is better to get married", Mei Na put down the dinner plate, Chen Yan's gaze moved with her hand involuntarily, remembering the unlucky dinner plate that was mistreated last time and left fingerprints.

Immediately Mina felt the fierce gaze of their leader, realized that she had said the wrong thing, and immediately shut up. Just as I was thinking about how to find another topic, I heard that Adolf, the fool, expand the topic without knowing whether to live or die.

Colonel Lance must be very tired of managing such a group of subordinates with fewer brains than ordinary people.

"That's right," said Adolf, waving his fork exaggeratedly, "Chen Yan, would you like to marry her, and from now on, whether hungry or not, poor or not, you will be willing to share the same room with her, with baked potatoes, fried steaks, and delicious red wine...... Whew!"

Adolf turned his head inexplicably and looked around, "Who kicked me just now?" he asked, rubbing his legs. Although Chen Yan couldn't see how badly Adolf's leg was kicked due to the sight of the table, it could be roughly inferred from his facial features that he was about to squeeze together that it hurt to be kicked this time.

No one squeaked, everyone looked at each other strangely, only Chen Yan thought of Colonel Lance inexplicably. Mina looked over to her, and saw that Colonel Lance was still eating with his head down.

In the end, Adolf's vendetta was not reported, and the topic he raised was no longer noticed, and even he himself happily participated in discussions such as "Is Asher more powerful than the chief?"

Only Lily still had a cold face that was not very happy, but her expression was much better than before. But beauty, even if it's a vase, it's beautiful.

Chen Yan's application was approved at a faster pace, and Lance took his team out to collect the brains of the giant beast. Before each time they set off, Chen Yan would record the existing collected giant beast brainwaves, so that their combat volume could be much smaller, and generally as long as the giant beasts did not go crazy, they would be driven away - after all, they knew that the mecha could not be eaten, and it was not easy to fight, so why take the risk.

As the variety of giant beasts brought back increased, Chen Yan's brainwave generator gradually improved. In the end, there were only a few more damaging giant beast brains left uncollected, and they needed to wait for their location to be detected before they could set off. Because the brain of the giant beast must be intact in order to be studied, the movement of the mecha is limited by many things, and the difficulty increases.

Chen Yan finally got a few days of rest, no longer having to collect research data day and night, chased by a sense of crisis. On that day, Colonel Lance went out on an urgent mission, which he carried out alone, but it was soon completed, and he could return that evening.

Chen Yan couldn't connect to the terminal without a supervisor, so she asked Lily to go out shopping at night.

Ashur's entertainment facilities are still numerous, not only bars, restaurants, and game rooms, but also retain the leisure habits of human beings when they are on the ground - shopping malls.

Of course, the shopping mall here has been altered, selling all kinds of electronic gadgets, simulated furniture on the floor, and of course essential clothing, but most of them are underwear and the like, because the Asho uniforms are uniformed.

Even so, it doesn't diminish the girls' enthusiasm for shopping. You must go to the street, but you don't have to buy things.

Lily wasn't too interested in these, but Chen Yan rarely made a request, and she couldn't refuse. So they set off in the evening of Asher, made a routine visit to the shopping mall, and then went straight to Chen Yan's destination, a bookstore in the middle of nowhere. The two of them walked into a small alley, where there were no shops on either side, and there were few passers-by.

Chen Yan likes to read, and he likes to read paper books the most. Although e-books now look the same as paper, she still likes to hold a bound paper book and flip through it page by page, and she especially likes the feeling of her fingers running over the pages printed with ink.

The owner of the bookstore, a middle-aged man who looked a little chubby, greeted Chen Yan with a smile. His left sleeve was empty - most of the operators here were retired soldiers, who could no longer go out on missions due to injuries and other reasons, and could choose to retire to Ashur to accept other positions, like Quinn, or they could choose to stop working and fend for themselves.

Chen Yan smiled and quipped, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you fat again?"

The boss also happily replied, "No, few people come all day, and there are not many young people like you who like ancient books now!"

He enthusiastically pointed to a booth, "It's all newly collected books here, go see it yourself." Old customers, see which one is discounted. ”

Chen Yan's remuneration as a technical soldier is not high, and almost all of them are used by her to buy books. Lily didn't like to look at that, and flipped through it boringly. Chen Yan looked at them one by one seriously, and the posture seemed to be about to drill into it.

The bookstore owner was accustomed to the state of these two people, and went about his business with a smile. In fact, just with his smiling Buddha-like appearance, I really can't imagine what this person used to do on a mission.

Chen Yan looked at it and turned to the back of the booth, and of course Lily followed. This booth was very high, and the two people were tightly blocked. After a while, there seemed to be another person in the store, and a voice asking for directions came from the front, "Boss, how do you get to Ashur's Academy of Sciences?"

"Oh, I don't know. I've never been there," the boss said kindly, "I'm sorry I can't help you." ”

Chen Yan peeked out from the side of the booth and was about to say I know, when the boss glanced at her and asked her not to speak.

If it had been two months ago, she would have probably raised her eyebrows and asked, "What?" But after all these things, her first reaction now was to quietly hide back and secretly observe this new man.

It was an ordinary-looking man, carrying an old backpack and an old-fashioned communicator on his wrist, the kind of person who wouldn't dazzle when thrown into the crowd.

The man listened to the boss's words and turned around to leave, but it happened that Chen Yan showed his head at this time, so he seemed to find that the boss's expression was not quite right. The man who had already reached the door turned back again, "You really don't know?" He glanced at the boss's missing left arm, "No, right?

The boss was still smiling, "It's born, it's born." Haha, I was born with a bad life, I can't help it. ”

"Oh, natural," the man suddenly tore off his empty sleeve, revealing the severed arm inside, "it doesn't look like it was born, it looks like it was amputated." ”

The air in the bookstore dropped a few degrees suddenly, and Chen Yan and Lily hid behind the booth. They came out tonight to relax, so they didn't bring a communicator, so as not to be called back suddenly. However, the trouble now is that there is no way to call the police.

"It was cut off when he was born", the fat boss didn't care, as if the man was not tearing his clothes, but a label, "I really don't know where you said, why don't you go somewhere else and ask?"

With a flattering look on his face, he nodded and said, his right hand slowly touching the alarm under the table.

Chen Yan and Lily retracted back to the back of the booth and were about to discuss countermeasures, but they didn't want to work for a while, but the outside had become a bloody world - the boss's other arm was gone. Blood from the severed arm was spurting out desperately.

Chen Yan's eyes appeared in front of Quinn's injuries to protect her, and the wounds behind Quinn's body that almost covered her body coincided with the blood of the boss in front of her, and she rushed out from behind the booth without thinking. Lily reached out and ran out.

The man didn't expect that there were two people hiding in the house, and when he saw that they were two young girls, he even whistled, with a bloodthirsty smile in his eyes, and spun the short knife in his hand. The bookstore's remote location is now a fatal obstacle to their escape.

Suddenly, he was caught off guard and was kicked horizontally, and his body tilted. Before he could stabilize his figure, Chen Yan casually picked up a chair and smashed it over.

That kick was kicked by the boss. Although he lost his two hands, he still looked like he had lost too much blood, but it did not prevent him from performing "leg skills", the boss temporarily restrained the person, turned around and yelled, "Press the alarm!"
