Two years ago

The southern spring is a big pothole

The steaming heat of the spring, which is more than 100 degrees warm, forms a tumbling blood-red lake in the low-lying basin. Heat-tolerant plants grow at both ends of the lake, and several cracks in the ground cut through the ground above the basin with stone pillars of various sizes.

A rainbow-shaped trestle bridge connects the two sides of the lake, dividing the lake in two, with a huge circular platform in the center, like an eye placed in the lake.

This is a public area belonging to the stratigraphic space, and the spring lake formed by the earth spring is not far from the two major city-states of Noah and Ideal City, because of the high hot spring water, there are no Zerg nests around, so it has become a default non-public political trading place for the two city-states.

The pier connecting the lake is called the Bridge of Friendship, which was built by Noah and Ideal City, and the unusually wide circular platform in the middle of the pier is the place where the city-states traded with each other.

Yuan Xinran led the team to escort two ****** from Noah, and arrived at the Bridge of Friendship three hours before the appointed time, ready to make a deal with Noah.

The transaction is simple, return the ****** to Noah and safely bring back the gift Noah used in exchange.

At this time, Yuan Xinran did not realize that this would be her last mission in the military department.

According to the original plan, Yuan Xinran asked the team to arrive six hours earlier than the agreed time, so as to have sufficient time to prepare, but the supervision officials who followed the team went out of the city for the first time, and they were very unsuitable for the journey of the underground post road, and asked for an extended rest time several times, and there were disputes with the people in the team on the way, so that the time planned by Yuan Xinran was not reached.

In the past, Yuan Xinran had already managed to stun the Inspector and take him on the road, but this time the task was simple and almost undifficult, and it didn't matter if she arrived later, so she endured it all the way.

Yuan Xinran, as the leader of the younger generation of military guards, has led the team independently since he was promoted to the silver rank military guard, and after becoming a god-level military guard, he often takes some novices with the potential of future elites to do some guiding tasks. For example, this time, she led a team of 10 guards, although all of them were bronze-level guards, but the members had all potential. Very good. Except for one person, it is difficult to judge, because Dong Jing is also in the team this time.

Military guards who serve in the military department have a minimum number of tasks for a specified number of times a year, and if they fail to complete them, they will be deducted, and if they accumulate a certain number of times, they will also be demoted.

Dong Jing's physical fitness is lower than the average level of military guards, and his martial arts ability is basically unqualified, so the spiritual weapon ability given by the soul ring is relatively special, but it doesn't last long and there is a cycle, and if it is not used well, it will be dragged down, so there are very few teams willing to take Dong Jing out of the city.

Dong Jing has been carrying out tasks in the city for a long time, and during this time, Noah signed a peace agreement with Maya, and the hiring tasks that required military guards to go out of the city were greatly reduced, and many tasks in the city were snatched away by other military guards. Approaching the year-end assessment of the military guard, Dong Jing privately contacted Yuan Xinran to help, hoping to follow the teacher's team out of the city this time.

In the past, Yuan Xinran refused nine times out of ten, after all, she was responsible for her other team members, but this time it happened that the task was simple and the danger was not high, and the boss helped to say a few words, Yuan Xinran didn't want to offend people too much when he was promoted this time, so he agreed to do favors.

After all, she has summed up her experience by this student, and as long as Dong Jing's ability can be used well, it is very trouble-free in some cases.

On the steaming surface of the lake, the temperature has reached more than 60 degrees.

The bridge of friendship built above the lake will only open the protective shield when trading, and normal people will be dizzy as long as they stay on it for a few minutes, and if they stay a little longer, they will have to worry about their lives. At that time, the technology and construction of the bridge were mainly provided and completed by Noah.

The shape of the trestle bridge of more than 100 meters is very simple, there are no stone piers all made of metal, like an open book, the upper and lower structures are clear at a glance, only there is a metal pillar under the round platform that won the lottery, supporting the bridge deck on the north and south sides.

Laying traps on it is completely impractical. Yuan Xinran personally checked it twice and came down.

Including 2 Noah's hostages, a team of 13 people led by Yuan Xinran gathered on the south side of the lake.

Fifty minutes later, according to the appointed time, Noah's men would arrive at the Bridge of Friendship from the north side of the lake to trade.

Yuan Xinran arranged for two team members who were good at concealment and long-range attacks to lurk around, four melee team members to guard two trading ******, two perception and speed team members to patrol the surrounding situation, and the remaining two auxiliary team members followed him to protect the inspectors sent by the government.

The last time Yuan Xinran came here on a mission was two years ago, and this generation hasn't changed much, it's still hot, stuffy and humid.

Dong Jing, as an auxiliary military guard who followed Yuan Xinran, had no sense of tension at all, and after knowing that Noah's people would not appear for the time being, his attention was all attracted by the hot spring.

"Teacher, teacher, you see, the water here is red." Dong Jing came here for the first time to perform a mission, and was very excited to see the landscape in front of him, "Can I soak in the water here?" When will we be able to complete the mission? ”

Yuan Xinran responded with a pair at first, but later heard Dong Jing say that he wanted to go down to the hot springs, and finally paid some attention.

"The water down there is tumbling, and the fog above is water vapor."

Dong Jing didn't hear the meaning of Yuan Xinran's words, and replied cheerfully, "See, it feels so hot standing here." ”

"Just like that, you still want to go down to the bubbles?"

"Can't you? Teacher, you make a big hole next to it, let's get some water in, wait for it to cool down a little, or then we can soak it. ”

“…… Very imaginative. Yuan Xinran squatted down and touched the soil, "As long as we don't get scolded by our boss for destroying the natural landscape of the trading place after returning to the city." ”

The supervision officer on the side glanced at Dong Jing and inserted it.

"Thousand Prisms, the military guards must be rigorous in their speeches when they are out on a mission, you represent the Ideal City, when Noah's people arrive, let them hear your ridiculous speech, what will they think?"

Dong Jing's face suddenly stiffened, nodded timidly, and whispered sorry.

Yuan Xinran glanced at it, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but speak.

The male supervisor who came with him this time is not very old, about early thirties, and his position is a cut higher than that of his peers, and he feels very superior, pointing all the way, and seizing every opportunity to express his high opinions.

Obviously, he was not satisfied with showing his sense of correctness.

"Although this is an informal political transaction, as long as we represent the ideal city, we must strictly regulate our words and actions. If the next time I hear such childish remarks from you, I will record it. ”

Dong Jing nodded in fright.

Yuan Xinran finally couldn't bear it anymore, she put her arm on Dong Jing's shoulder, took it into her arms, and replied with a smile,

"Oh, this kind of thing, don't be so serious, opinions are also for progress, what to say and what not to say on a formal occasion, everyone naturally knows, usually more relaxed and help communication, if you are so scared that people don't dare to say anything in the future, wouldn't it be counterproductive?"

The supervision officials contended with each other and did not agree with Yuan Xinran's views.

"As a military guard, no matter what the occasion, you must play an exemplary role, whether it is words or deeds, you must not have personal desires and selfish desires, your thinking is clearly contemptuous of the doctrine of utopia."

Yuan Xinran did not back down in the face of this big hat, "I think that as long as it is not a political-related occasion, it is personal freedom to say anything, and whether to accept it or not is another matter." Since you don't take my advice and want to keep it serious, that's okay. ”

The supervision officer pointed at Yuan Xinran's nose and raised his voice, "Your remarks are a serious violation of the doctrine, and you are responsible for what you say." ”

Yuan happily shrugged his shoulders, "Of course, people are responsible for what they say, and I believe that with those statements just now, the military department will not do anything to me, because it looks stupid to do so." ”

The Ombudsman was dismissed in public, and his tone became even more harsh. "God-shaped girl, how does your boss usually teach you? That's what he talks to you about? ”

Yuan Xinran was slightly flustered, and his face darkened, "I'm past the age where I need to be taught by hand, and I can't do anything if I go out of the city to perform all kinds of messy tasks, and I always think about the rules and regulations in the city." ”

The Ombudsman took a few steps forward, aggressively,

"Even if you don't have the example of a mentor yourself, you don't have the majesty of a superior at all, I just doubt how you rose to this position. By face? ”

Yuan Xinran raised his eyebrows, and a green tendon faintly burst out from the corner of his forehead.

Dong Jing secretly said badly, with her understanding of the teacher, she knew that the supervisor had really provoked Yuan Xinran this time.

Don't look at the teacher's usual good temper and good talking, but if there are a few explosions, she gets angry, it's really terrible.

Dong Jing felt bad and cautiously moved a few steps back.

The corners of Yuan Xinran's lips curled slightly, raised his hand, and touched his face,

"Oh, just by this face?" Her hand slowly touched her neck from her chin to her neck, rubbing it back and forth, then sliding, "There must be something else." ”
