Two days ago, the headquarters of the association.

Lu Renlong took the elevator up. There were unusually many people on the elevator, and Lu Renlong was squeezed into the corner.

Since the terrorist attack, the usually relatively idle departments have been busy, especially the foreign affairs department, the finance department and the overall planning department, which have stayed up late almost every day, and the work intensity is higher than that of the program ape.

Of course, it was not easy for the soldiers on the voyage. All recent plans to go to sea have been put on hold, and the fighters have been redeployed and stationed in major cities. There are a total of 306 first- and second-tier cities in the three districts, and an average of two combat soldiers in each city will consume 600 troops. This is undoubtedly a huge burden for the association.

The elevator rose and stopped, and two minutes later, it stopped on the sixty-sixth floor, and at this time, Lu Renlong was the only one left in the elevator.

The 33rd, 66th, and 99th floors are all leisure floors, offering a variety of food and entertainment activities, with different levels of access required for each floor.

Sixty-six floors, requiring B-level or higher clearances.

Lu Renlong came to the coffee shop with a familiar car.

There were only two or three tables in the coffee shop, and he quickly found someone he had made an appointment.

He walked over and smiled politely: "Uncle Sun, you have been waiting for a long time." ”

"I just came. Have a seat. Sun Chengji, deputy captain of Dongfang No. 3, said politely.

The two skipped the greetings very tacitly, and Lu Renlong got straight to the point: "Five days later, it's a big fight, I have a proposal to let Dongfang No. 3 get the best students." ”

"Tell me about it. ”

"In our session, He Junyao, who is the strongest, must spare no effort to fight for it. I can convince him to choose Vostok III. After him, it is me and Zhen Shanmei, and he is getting higher, his true level is not clear, but at least, he is not weaker than me. ”

"I'm going to go with Vostok No. 3, and I've made an agreement with Jie Jinggao that he'll choose Vostok No. 3 as well. In this way, three of the four places have been determined, and except for me, they are all the best among the students in this year. ”

Sun Chengji frowned slightly: "If I'm not mistaken, you, He Junyao and Jiejiegao are all in the top ten." But in the first ten, we can only pick two. ”

Lu Renlong said: "This is the normal situation. However, I will not join Vostok 3 through normal channels. ”

Sun Chengji was puzzled.

Lu Renlong explained: "I told my grandfather and asked him to help me enter Dongfang No. 3. You know, my grandfather spoiled me the most, I didn't ask him for anything since I was a child, and this is the first time, and he will definitely satisfy me at all costs, even if it is to break the rules. ”

"If the other captains are dissatisfied, you and Captain Zuo will say that the only ones you want to recruit are He Junyao and Jiejiegao, and Lu Renlong is not on the list, in short, just push the responsibility on my grandfather. ”

After a little thought, Sun Chengji knew that it was feasible, but ...... He couldn't help but glance at Lu Renlong, and said that the Lu family's grandson was very smart, but he didn't expect that even his own grandfather was calculated, and his grandfather wanted to know the truth, and he was afraid that he would be so angry that he vomited blood.

Lu Renlong said: "If you agree, during the battle for people, you and Captain Zuo, don't promise to other students, otherwise, we will be very troubled." ”

Sun Chengji smiled and said: "I can't be the master of this matter, I have to ask the captain what he means, but such a good thing, presumably the captain will not refuse." ”

"However, such a good thing is not free. Lu Renlong said, "In exchange, I would like to get some information from you." ”

"Oh, about what?"

"About Red Lotus. ”

"The matter of Red Lotus is confidential, and I can't divulge it. ”

"When it comes to confidentiality, I won't ask, and if you accidentally ask, you can leave it unanswered. ”

Sun Chengji was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, then you ask." ”

At the press conference, it was said that a core member was caught. You arrested this core member, right? ”

"That's right. ”

The issue is not confidential, not even secret. At that time, the arrest operation was not small, and some people even took photos and posted them on the Internet, including the crew of the Dongfang 3. With Lu Renlong's astuteness, he could naturally guess that he was the leader of the arrest operation.

Lu Renlong Zhengse said: "I want to know the strength of this core member and his status in the Red Lotus. ”

Sun Chengji knew what Lu Renlong wanted to ask. This question involves the division of grades within the Red Lotus and the level range of each level, and by figuring out this, you can roughly infer the overall strength of the Red Lotus.

This issue is not classified, but wondering, B-level clearance is also required. Coincidentally, the young man sitting in front of him was one of the few people among the students who had B-level clearance.

"His strength, according to the standards of the association, belongs to the first-class combat power. As for his status in the Red Lotus, it is currently speculated that it should be the third rank. ”

Lu Renlong nodded thoughtfully: "Understood, thank you Uncle Sun." ”

Sun Chengji said: "Actually, you can ask your grandfather directly about this kind of thing, and he should tell you more." ”

"Definitely. Lu Renlong smiled, "But then, it's too boring, isn't it?"

......

As the holidays drew to a close, the students returned to the association one after another, and the dormitory quickly became more popular, but it was obviously much duller than before.

Thirty-three students left the team permanently, including Lin Tao, the deputy captain who lived in room 3202 opposite Chen Bin.

The team was full of candles, and Chen Bin also silently sent one. Lin Tao treats him well, the two of them live opposite each other, and occasionally visit the door or something.

It's just that from now on, this door on the opposite side will not open again.

He was a little uncomfortable, a little more uncomfortable than watching Guo Ziming breathe.

When a familiar person is killed, the reality of death is often stronger, and it takes away not only a life, but also the intersection of all people and this life.

Chen Bin was lying on the bed, his mind empty.

Although he is a person who has died once, when death comes by his side, he still can't avoid emotional fluctuations, even ...... Panicky.

This is true of him, and even more so of these naïve young people who are sixteen or seventeen years old and still think that death is far away from them. They should gradually realize that the association is not a fun place anymore.

Power, money and status are not given for free, in the real world, there is no free lunch, only reciprocal exchange. If you get it and enjoy it, you have to pay the same price.

And that price is life.

Chen Bin rolled over and reached out to turn off the light.

His plan was made two years ago, and his goals have never changed.

He was going to run, to escape from the association, to escape from these terrifying days and nights.

He wants to escape to a place where no one knows him, change his face, and use the money he has saved in the past few years to live with his mother in peace.

He's going to run, but not now. He had to wait, wait for the perfect moment.
