Chapter XXIV

The moment I fell, I was thrown into a state of confusion by the sudden feeling of falling, and I couldn't see exactly where I was passing by. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info I thought I would fall on my own when I landed, but when I got close to the ground, an invisible air flow held me up and allowed me to land on my feet smoothly. The structure is similar to where Group 5 usually meets, with a squirming soft floor, but of course, it is larger, and the "chairs" suspended in the air are in the form of transparent bubbles, arranged in circles like mosquito coils around a yellowish clearing in the center of the room. The biggest difference between this room and other public places in the gap is that it has a conspicuous, gray ceiling, and it suddenly enters this relatively cramped space from the bright lobby just now, as if it is pressed against the body, and it is breathless.

Shuai 9 stood in front of the crowd and shouted for us to rearrange in two so that he could count the number of people present, but this time no one paid attention to him, and everyone took care of themselves to find a seat and sit down. Like everyone else, I chose a random bubble to climb up, and when I sat down, the bubble's realistic light touch made me afraid to sit with all my strength at once, for fear that it would burst at any time. Ning 08 followed and sat next to me, G17 also came to us at some point, she nodded to us, and then sat on the bubble to the right of Ning 08, as silent as ever.

The men in the same uniform as Shuai 9 all sat on the circle of bubbles closest to the open space in the middle, their heads held high, and their shiny foreheads could almost be seen from behind. The rest of the people from the various divisions were much more scattered, constantly talking to each other. I looked curiously at the faces sitting around me for a while, most of them couldn't tell their age, although their skin colors and races were different, they all had well-proportioned physiques, good figures, very good temperament, and their appearances were more upright than ordinary people. The uniformed people of the first squad were more like ordinary people, tall, short, fat and thin.

"They've called all the regular members of the inter-gap detection team this time, right?"

I heard the person sitting behind me whispering to the person next to me.

"It's the first time."

"It's all called and you're so many?"

"What do you think? This errand is boring to death, how many people will really love to do it? It's not exciting yet, okay? ”

At this time, some people who did not look like members of the first team, nor did they look like they were here for the first time, and among them were LL9 and Ki 87, but to my surprise, there were also elderly people who looked to be in their sixties and seventies. Ji 87 saw me and Ning 08 at a glance in the crowd, so he moved a bubble from the first row and sat down with us.

"You're not sitting with the rest of the team?" Ning 08 probe asked.

"Anyway, we can't talk while sitting together, so it's better to be free here." Ji 87 patted me on the shoulder happily, "The two beauties of the Asian gap will also come in a while, they will definitely sit next to you, I have to take a good position first." ”

"What are they doing?"

"Listen. I have to thank you, Aya-17, for helping us a lot by your presence. ”

I smiled perfunctorily at him, not to mention that I hadn't actually done anything at all, and besides, even if I could make a proposal to the Van Xi people, they would probably ignore me - their overall grasp of the situation here, and their idea of what to do and what not to do, was much clearer than I was.

"I didn't expect it this time, DY247 is also here." Ji 87 rubbed his hands with emotion, but the expression on his face was very excited. "Who is DY247?"

"It's that old man, he's the leader of the Celestial Society."

"This is the first time I've seen an old man since I came to the Gap."

"What is the Celestial Society?" I really don't know how many organizations there are in this subgap.

"Formally, the Heavenly Domain Society is the most respected organization in the Asian Gap, and they will be invited to come forward in the form of important events. Most of the members of the Skyware Order were also among the first immigrants. The first batch of immigrants from the entire Asia Gap were either in the first squad, or in the Celestial Society. It's just that the age group of the Tianyu Club is higher than that of the first team as a whole, and they are basically people over 50 years old, who are not as keen on showing off as the first team, and they lack real power. The people of the first team never took them seriously in private, saying that Tianyu would be a place for the elderly to retire and have a tea party, but they were actually afraid of others, after all, they were also the first batch of immigrants, and it was absolutely impossible for them to miss something. Anyway, in this place, the status of the first immigrants will always be infinitely better than that of our new immigrants. ”

"Then LL9 is there as the leader of the detection team?"

"No, she's a member of the first squad." M6-2's voice came out of my left coldly, and I searched for a moment only to realize that both she and M6 had shrunk to the size of their palms, "Although everyone has always thought that she is just the 'mascot' of the detection team, don't underestimate her, she is the only 'child' in the entire subgap." can enter the sub-gap as a child, and be recruited into the first squad, it will definitely not be an ordinary person. ”

"When did you arrive?" I was taken aback by the way they came out.

"It's been a while." M6-2 replied, "There's too little space here, and it would be more convenient for us to be at this size." ”

Indeed, as she said, there was no room for anyone around me anymore.

"It's a shame that I can't appreciate the two of you anymore." Ji 87 cried with a sad face, but no one answered.

In the end, it was Ning 08 who broke the silence, "Speaking of which, I really didn't know that LL9 was a member of the first squad. ”

"She listed this as a non-public item, after all, once everyone knows that she is a member of the first team, it will not be so easy for her to get some benefits by being coquettish as a little girl." This time it is Ki 87 that is explained.

"And you're revealing your membership of the first team to make it easier to pick up girls?" Ning 08 nodded in convincing.

"Ahem, I can't say that there is no such factor, but I can't say that it is all because of this. After all, at first, I really thought it would be nice to be able to join. ”

"How the hell did you get in?" I asked Ji 87 a question.

"Maybe it's because I've set up a few organizations and clubs before, but then I found out that maybe it's just because I'm the easiest person to control out of so many people who have had these experiences."

Ning 08 raised his eyebrows, "It's good that you understand." ”

"Hey, can you comfort me? Tell me a little bit about the scene? 'No, you're excellent'. ”

"Leave this kind of sycophancy to your girlfriends." Ning 08 waved his hand.

At this point, it seemed that the personnel had expired, and DY247 walked to the central clearing on crutches. DY247 is slightly thinner than the average adult male, and his hair is rare and doesn't show signs of topping, but it hasn't been combed well and is unkempt around his head. His cheeks were slightly inverted, his slender eyes were slightly squinted, and the expression on his face looked like that of an ordinary old man basking in the sun. Theoretically, even the old man would not suffer from any illness, and his crutches might just be a decoration.

"It is an honor for all of you here to be willing to join this task force, and I am sure you all know that this will be an important operation for the rise and fall of our humanity, and the important clues found this time will probably change our current pattern. Here, allow me to say a few words......"

I couldn't help but sigh, generally speaking, when there is a "simple two sentences", the other party has to say more than two sentences.

Sure enough, DY247 started with the theory of evolution, laid out the facts and reasoned, and carefully analyzed and described the greatness of human beings, the difficulty of evolution, the importance of evolution, and the necessity for this race to continue to progress. By the end of his speech, not a single word in his tirade was about the Celestial Society.

"But everyone has also seen that our Tianyu Society, this age is no longer suitable for those too exciting jobs, so this operation is still under the sole responsibility of Xiao 339 of the first team, and I will ask him to introduce the main content of this operation."

Xiao 339, who was sitting on the side, got up and bowed to DY247, helped him back to the bubble seat, and then walked to the stage with his head held up and chest held high in a kingly manner.

"All of you here must remember the purpose of our detection team. We are sitting here to find out why the Earth was attacked in such a single night, how to drive these invaders back to where they belonged, and most importantly, we have never given up on finding a way to free the people of Earth from their cocoon. Now, we finally have a clue.

As you may already know, the purpose of the gathering here today is to hold a preparatory meeting for the 'Underground Cavern Group Special Operation'. The structure of this newly discovered underground cavern is very complex, and there will be a shortage of manpower in a single team, so we specially invited talents from various exploration teams, that is, everyone here.

One may ask, why is such a place worth so much success? Of course it's worth it. The discovery of the underground cave group is a major clue, although the specific situation is not yet inconvenient to disclose, but what I can promise is that according to the previous research and analysis of the first team, we can be sure that the underground cave will definitely bring us harvest, as for the size of the harvest, what kind of harvest, we cannot give an accurate answer.

What you need to do during this expedition is the same as you would normally do when you return - soil analysis, air analysis, extraterrestrial creature search, extraterrestrial creature observation, and so on. It should be reminded that the purpose of this expedition is to thoroughly understand the structure of the entire underground cave group, so we will not return to the sub-gap without sweeping the entire cave area, and the work intensity may be relatively high during the period, if you can't accept this, you can leave now. With that, he paused, raised his eyelids and looked around, but no one moved.

"This is just one of the things I'm going to say, you can leave at any time whenever you feel uncomfortable with what you hear, and we've turned on the exit restriction of the instant jump link, and you are now free to use the 'jump' feature to return to your living quarters."

After saying this, I saw that the person sitting in front of me on the left really disappeared immediately.

"Next, there's the second point. As far as I know, most of the teams are armed with weapons during their expeditions, but they rarely engage with extraterrestrial creatures, and even if they do, they are dealing with creatures with a danger factor of 6 or less. The reason is that our first team has already excluded all the dangerous areas from the scope of inspection. However, this time the location of the cave complex has become a danger zone according to the data analysis, and at worst, we will encounter creatures with a danger factor of 9 or more there, which may be related to the last activity of one of our groups there. Aka339 cast a meaningful glance at our corner, then looked away, "I don't care if you have experience killing aliens in the previous expedition, but I must remind you that after joining the task force, you must become more effective killers so that we can complete the mission as soon as possible and return as soon as possible."

The Einsatzgruppen will each be issued with three ion knives, this is a new weapon developed by our scientific research team, containing various specifications, and it has been tested to be a high-performance weapon that is 'compatible' and effective for all alien creatures, and it is much stronger than the embroidered pillows you usually wear, if you have a habitual weapon, you can also submit it to me for 'ionization' transformation, I only accept applications submitted within five hours.

Finally, the expedition will begin at 8 o'clock the day after tomorrow, in the middle of this inter-day period, please adjust and familiarize yourself with the weapon of the ion knife, which will then be distributed to each of you at your residence, and the map and action plan of the location will be transmitted to your chip after the meeting. The other equipment we have equipped for this operation will be installed directly on the transparent isolation armor, so please study it yourself.

So, do you guys have any questions? I feel like I've made it clear. ”

His last sentence made several people who originally wanted to ask questions put down their hands that were about to raise their hands in order to fight for a breath, and instead complained to their neighbors, and suddenly the audience was noisy.

Of course, my mind was filled with questions, why on earth could they be sure that they would find something there? Why did it become a high-risk area when we went down? How many of the people present really have actual combat experience? But I didn't ask in the end because I had a hunch that even if I did, he wouldn't explain.

"Are you all okay?" M6-2 asked.

"He asks people to ask questions just to talk, and he asks anything and he just says to you, 'I have already said this point you mentioned, please take note of the main points of the meeting next time.'" Ning 08 pinched his throat and imitated the tone of Xiao 339's speech.

"It's okay, it's okay, with the two beauties of Fan Xixing, there will be no problem." Ji 87 was busy clapping his ass.

"Van Xi is a neutral race in the universe, theoretically it will not participate in extraterrestrial disputes, and it will not take the initiative to attack other races, so we will not do attack assistance, at most we can only do rescue assistance."

"That's enough, thank you so much."

If the last person sitting opposite just inadvertently looked in our direction, he would definitely feel that Ji 87 was estrus against the air.

"Okay, now that everyone is okay, then the introduction to the operation is over." A satisfied smile slipped across the corners of Xiao 339's mouth on the stage, but he quickly reined in his expression that was about to be leaked. "The number of participants in the operation the day after tomorrow will be about 200, and we will divide the team into a team to investigate according to the specific situation of the cave. We take this visit very seriously, and we hope that everyone here will do the same, because this could be a history-making moment. The morning after tomorrow, we will meet in the lobby of the sleeping pod and enter the sleeping pod at 8 o'clock sharp. So, that's all I have to say, adjournment. ”

I immediately got up, but just as I was about to leave, M6 and M6-2 suddenly returned to their normal size, and M6 grabbed me by the collar.

"Listen to me, I must practice my weapons well in the remaining day, and what Xiao 339 said just now, all of them will be 'magnified and tripled' to understand. Do you understand? ”

Before I could nod my head, the M6 was gone the next moment.
