The First Volume: The Mountain Rain is Coming, the Wind is Full of Buildings, the First Chapter 14: The Rookie Garden (3)
Located a short distance from Melbourne's city centre and close to the untamed and unsettled Churchill National Park, Leicester Field Park is a beautiful spot for a range of leisure activities.
The 20-kilometre cycle path is the perfect place for mountain biking with its twisting solo trails through leafy plantations, clear lakes, lush meadows and lush woods.
The buggy passes by a lake with canoes, sailboats, and a small white yacht in the middle of the lake.
AndrΓ© looked at the lake: "It's called Leicefield Lake, and you can play canoeing when you're bored, and you can have a sailing race when the wind blows. β
Not far from the lake, a tall spherical glass building rises from the open meadow to form a magnificent ensemble.
Directly in front of the complex is a semicircular gate made of white marble, and next to the purple-gold rose pattern is the black English inscription "Xinxiu Garden".
The complex has no walls, only forests of cypress trees, and large roads stretch from all directions of the complex.
There were already people waiting in front of the white marble door on the red carpet, and more than a dozen well-dressed men and women, and people who came and went could not help but show admiration and envy when they saw the men in black suits led by them.
Getting out of the car, Andre smiled gentlely at the two people who were looking curiously at the magnificent complex: "Rookie Club, Rookie Garden, welcome two." β
"Chairman. Seeing Andre and his party get out of the car, the man in the black suit hurriedly greeted him, and his respectful posture surprised the people who came and went, and they all looked at Andre.
"How's the club doing?" Andre put his hands behind his back, his expression was upright, and he didn't smile, as if he had changed from before he got out of the car.
"Isn't he the director, why did he become the chairman again?" Yichen asked Song Feng in a low voice.
Hearing Song Feng reply that the rookie garden is the headquarters of the Ming Division, Yichen sighed secretly, it is really not easy for people to live now, two identities, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be schizophrenic after a long time.
"Two people died in an Oahu surfing accident, but other than that, it's business as usual. The man made a brief report to Andrei.
Yichen had a bitter expression and looked at Mo Kaize, Mo Kaize happened to look at him as well, and both of them saw a faint uneasiness in each other's eyes, extreme sports are really easy to die.
"It's fine as usual. Andre nodded, turned around, and introduced the man to Yichen and Mo Kaize, "This is the general manager of the rookie park, Mr. Wimo." β
Wimo smiled lightly, and Echen and Mokaiser politely smiled back.
Everyone walked through the white marble gate and got on the electric sightseeing car parked on the side.
Four manned sightseeing buses drove the crowd towards a huge spherical glass building.
This spherical glass building is the largest of the complex and is also located in the very center, with a wide avenue connecting it to the white marble gate, one of the main roads of the complex.
The induction glass door automatically opened, and the mermaids entered.
Bright sunlight shines through the glass on the top of the building, and the bright white floor reflects the figures walking in the hall, and the tall greenery is striking, such as cycads, banyan trees, araucariacs, and Malabar chestnuts...... It's less like a club, more like a botanical garden.
Yi Chen closed his eyes slightly, relaxed his body and mind, and took a big breath, the fresh air made him refreshed.
With fewer people to talk to, there is no need to be secretive anymore, and Wimo asked, "Director, is this trip going well?"
"It went well. AndrΓ© glanced down the hall and walked towards the corner of the hall.
During this time, Andre gave Vimo a look, and Wimo understood and waved his hand at more than a dozen men and women behind him, signaling them to return to their respective posts and continue to work.
The matter of Jianling is very important, even if it is the internal staff, most of them don't know, they only know that the Rookie Club is an underground organization that maintains world peace, and as for who the enemy who destroys world peace is, they don't know.
After everyone left, the nine of them sat down on the gray-black circular sofa.
"Director, these two are ......" Wimo looked at Yichen and Mo Kaize.
Along the way, he observed his words and looks, and vaguely guessed the identities of the two young men in his heart.
"Lord of the Dao Sword, Lord of Darkness, Yichen, Lord of the Wind, Mo Kaize. Andrei thought for a moment and said, "Check the time of the last intermediate training camp." β
"Heroes come out of teenagers. Vimo looked admiring.
The first time they were looked at with such a gaze, Yichen and Mo Kaize were a little uncomfortable, either squeezing out a smile or touching the back of their heads.
The silver data wristband lit up, and Wimo expertly manipulated it in front of the zoomed out virtual projection.
After a moment, he called up a document and moved the wristband so that the projection faced Andre: "The last intermediate training camp was three and a half months later, Kosciusco Mountain Alpine Skiing, 36 members, 26 members of the Command Department, and the coach was the Ouyang deputy team of Zhuxing. β
"It's too late, a month in advance. As he spoke, Andre pointed to Yichen and Mo Kaize, "Add them." β
"Supervisor, aren't you in a hurry? They can't adapt to the intensity of the intermediate training. Larson said.
"Director, why don't you let them try the junior training first?" Wei Mo called up another piece of information and asked, "Half a month later, there will be a rafting on the Barron River, 13 members, and 8 members of the order department. β
"I can't get used to it, not to mention that sword training is not an easy task. Andrei smiled sympathetically.
Seeing Andre's sly smile, Yichen shivered inexplicably.
It was Mo Kaize, whose expression was as usual, and he couldn't see joy or sorrow, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Do as I say. Andre said to Wimo, "Also, add one coach, I have someone to choose, she will contact you when the time comes, and Ouyang will be her deputy." β
"I'll arrange it right away. Wimo replied crisply.
After a long pause, Andrei said, "Take them on a tour of here, I have something to deal with." β
"Good. β
Looking up at the glass roofs tens of meters high, Yichen found that the glass of these spherical buildings was very peculiar, and at first glance it looked plain, but if you looked closely, it contained liquid.
After a while, the colorless liquid would flow, and he wouldn't have noticed it if it weren't for the sunlight.
was watching intently, Yichen's eyes suddenly darkened, and he was suddenly startled.
"Curiosity kills cats. Andrei withdrew his hand from his view, "I'm going to take care of some things, you have half an hour to visit." β
After saying that, he got up and led Vanessa and the five away.
When the people walked away, Wei Mo got up: "Come with me, I'll take you two around, the White Hall is still very good." β
"Strange name. Mokaiser said.
"It's the same way I felt back then. Wimo laughed, "I guess it's probably to correspond to the White House." β
"Correspondingly, it should be called Black Palace. Yichen said, "It's not bad to call it the Black Temple." β
"You are very funny, but 'Black Temple' and 'Black Shop' are the same sound, which is easy to misunderstand for extreme sports enthusiasts from China, and the club has a business license and is legally operated. Vimo smiled.
"Manager Wimo has a very good command of Chinese. Yichen gave a heartfelt thumbs up.
"I often communicate with Chinese friends and know some Chinese. Vimo said modestly.
............
The three of them chatted and walked around the spherical glass building, which covers an area of thousands of square meters.
.
.
.
"Do you know? Because of the water absorption in Kowloon and the three-color skylight, the southern part of Phillip Island has been put under military control, claiming that there are potential safety hazards in the nearby waters, and the potential danger is being eliminated. β
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, Patel and they wanted to sneak in to find out, but they were caught before they could go in, and I heard that they were detained for at least 24 hours. β
"Something big must have happened, otherwise the army would not have been dispatched. β
"The stakes are high, and those who are not stable at this time deserve to be punished. β
"If you want me to say the same, the high-flying and domineering people will never know how to converge if they don't suffer, Patel, they are to blame. β
Yichen smiled and elbowed Mo Kaize beside him.
Mo Kaize turned his head and looked at him suspiciously.
Yichen pouted to the side, and there were two young men holding skateboards in their arms.
"What are they talking about?" asked Mokaise, fluent English to his ears, indistinguishable from ancient Sanskrit.
Yichen whispered: "Phillip Island, military control." β
"This also requires martial law?"
"Sounds weird, maybe you guessed it. β
Wei Mo, who was walking in front, saw the two of them stop, turned around and beckoned to the two: "Two, follow." β
"It's coming. Yichen responded.
Warm golden sconces illuminate the wood-carved corridors, walk on mosaic tiles, topped with stained glass, inscribed lines on the walls and hang beautiful picture frames of various sizes, all of which contain photos related to thrilling extreme sports, such as wingsuit flying, high-altitude flying, freehand climbing, base jumping, downhill skiing, and ...... There is also skateboarding, the originator of the history of extreme sports.
"There are hundreds of extreme sports in the club, big and small, most of which are officially named, and many are not. There are hundreds of extreme sports clubs, and there is only one rookie in the world today. From bungee jumping, roller skating, water skiing, ...... From sky skateboarding, high-speed racing, and diving...... The whole nine yards. "The most extravagant is the bipolar expedition, which is clearly priced at $500 million, and has only been carried out three times so far." β
The unsuspecting newcomer came here, and after listening to Wimo's introduction, he would 100% decide that the rookie was an international extreme sports club.
Yichen whispered to himself: "It's so impressive, I almost believe that this is just a club." β
"But then again, since it's an extreme sport, danger is inevitable. Disability is a common occurrence in the club, and death is nothing new. Wimo changed his words, "Fortunately, the mortality rate is not high, and only two people died in half a month." β
What do you mean that only two people died? Is half a month a long time? Yichen's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but shout in his heart, who are the people here?
"Extreme sports are about formal methods, the right way, otherwise it is very easy to have problems. Seeing Yichen's reaction, Vimo explained, "Due to the influence of the Pacific Ocean, the waves on Oahu are big and fast, and the two of them relied on the experience of surfing a few times, and did not learn standard surfing skills and effective self-protection skills from the instructor, but they capsized when they challenged the huge waves, and 'kissed' the coral reef." β
"Didn't the coach stop it?" asked Yichen. If the coach had stopped it in time, there might not have been a tragedy, he thought.
"The coach will only advise, remind and warn the members, and will not and cannot make decisions for the members. β
"Shouldn't the club be responsible for the safety of its members?"
"The club is not an orphanage, nor is it a nursing home, all the people who come here are passionate extreme sports enthusiasts, who will come if they are afraid of being disabled or dying? If the club can always ensure the safety of its members, the word 'extreme' in extreme sports can be removed. Wimo said casually, "Before participating in extreme sports, members will sign up for an extreme sports accident insurance. In the event of accidental death of a member, the family members will receive a certain amount of compensation free of charge. That's all the club can do. β
"Extreme sports. Mo Kaize whispered, rethinking the meaning of these four words.
"Human nature is unfettered, especially the humanity of extreme sports enthusiasts, the more oppressive the more resistant. Vimo looked at Yichen, "Everyone is an adult, and adults are responsible for their own actions. There's a saying in China that says it very well, 'Life and death are fateful, wealth is in the sky', and I think the first half of the sentence is very suitable for extreme sports, isn't it?"
Yichen smiled and pretended to be relaxed: "It's because I'm rare and weird." β
"Come here and introduce you to someone. β
