Lu Yuansheng stood at the staircase of an underground bicycle garage, looked at the information on his phone, and then looked at the stairs leading to the underground.

According to the task instructions, he came to the future university of science and technology the next day to hand over the task, originally he wanted to take a few more days off, but the task required two weeks before the start of school to familiarize himself with the environment.

This underground bicycle garage seems to have been renovated by air defense facilities, and in the center of the staircase is a ramp for bicycles to go up and down, and at the halfway point of the long staircase, there is a half-open door, and from time to time people come out with shopping bags and various goods, and a dim billboard is hung next to it, which reads "Guangfa Supermarket".

"There's really a supermarket here......"

Lu Yuansheng opened the transparent plastic curtain, and a cold air rushed to his face, and at first glance, he could see that the small place inside was full of all kinds of common non-staple foods.

There was also a staircase leading upstairs on one side of the doorway, and Lu Yuansheng remembered that there seemed to be several storefronts facing the driveway.

The small supermarket is an unmanned intelligent payment model, and when you look around, in addition to the civilian robots that are stocking, there is only one employee wearing a vest printed with the name of the supermarket, sitting behind the counter of freshly made snacks and waiting for customers.

"Hello, may I ask Manager Lin Yusheng... Is it here? I'm here for him. Lu Yuansheng came to the snack cabinet and asked.

The clerk looked at him, "Huh?" Do you have anything to do with Manager Lin? ”

Lu Yuansheng replied: "Didn't Manager Lin say it? I made an appointment with him to come here, just for some work. ”

As soon as the clerk heard this, he enthusiastically pointed him out the way and said, "Oh, I know, work, you go to the right, there is a door on the container shelf next to it, and you can see the sign in the manager's room when you enter." ”

"Okay, thank you very much."

"You're welcome, come on, young man."

“？？”

Lu Yuansheng knew that the other party had misunderstood, but he didn't plan to correct it.

Passing through the shelf area and entering the office area, you will see several additional rooms, the leftmost of which has a sign for the manager's room.

"Knock, knock, knock......" Lu Yuansheng knocked on the door first.

"Please come in."

After getting a response, Lu Yuansheng walked in, and there was only a desk, a bookcase and two chairs in the small space.

The man, also dressed in overalls, sat behind his desk, occupying one of the chairs, with a badge reading "Manager: Lin Yusheng" pinned to his chest.

"May I ask who you are..."Lin Yusheng raised his head and asked.

Lu Yuansheng carefully closed the door and asked, "May I ask if it's Manager Lin Yusheng, right?" ”

"Yes, it's me." The other party replied.

Lu Yuansheng had already compared the image of the other party with the profile photo in his heart, and after getting the other party's answer, he felt that it should be right.

"Hello Chief Lin, I am Lu Yuansheng, a C-level observer of the Countermeasures Bureau who came to report."

Lu Yuansheng took out his own identity certificate, the transparent card. The card first showed a wolf-like symbol in his hand, and then he pinched the thumb of the card and pushed the back of the card slightly, and the screen moved to the information page that belonged to him.

"Well, hello Observer Lu."

As he spoke, Lin Yusheng also took out a similar card, showing a streamlined eagle.

"Resource Information Security Administration, Secrecy Section, Lin Yusheng."

"You sit down first, and we'll talk slowly."

He stretched out his hand and beckoned Lu Yuansheng to sit down.

Lu Yuansheng looked outside the door and asked uncertainly, "Chief Lin, are you talking here?" ”

"In the future, you will call me Manager Lin, here has been a relatively good soundproofing, and the office area is also our people, you can rest assured."

"What's more, the more important things will be explained after taking you to the field."

"Now you sign this first."

Lin Yusheng took out a copy from the document shelf next to him and handed it to Lu Yuansheng.

"This is..."

Lu Yuansheng looked at the document in his hand, it was an employment contract.

Lin Yusheng replied: "This is an employment contract, it will be convenient for you to come to work with us in the future, so I will arrange a part-time job for you, just come every Sunday, help set up the goods, and you can watch it at other times, but the hourly wage is calculated according to the lowest, after all, our small department is not redundant." ”

"A whole ...... Sunday? ”

"No, it's just eight in the morning to six in the afternoon, including dinner." Lin Yusheng said lightly.

"Let's sign it." Lin Yusheng pursed his chin.

"Could it be that I didn't explicitly say that I want to retire? Why do you have to work day jobs? Lu Yuansheng shouted in his heart.

He weakly asked, "What about the vacation time?" ”

"It's free except Sunday." Lin Yusheng replied.

"Yes, Bai asked."

Lu Yuansheng thought in his heart, but he still had to sign the contract, he thought about pretending to work for two weeks first, and then go back to find a way to let Li Si arrange a vacant position for him, so that there would be a reason to resign from this day job.

"How can an employee of my countermeasure bureau give you a day job for the security bureau so easily!"

Lu Yuansheng smiled in his heart and returned the pen and paper, he just wanted to live a comfortable retirement life, enjoy the beauty of the college, and where was he willing to waste time working for others.

"Then I want to emphasize one thing first, no matter what your previous status was, it is no longer valid in our department, you can work according to your original mission requirements, but you must follow my command here, and you need to assist us in the management of the project. If there is an accident and you have to be held responsible, then we have permission not to follow the regulations, I hope you can understand this. ”

Lin Yusheng took the pen and paper and said with a cold face.

"Yes! I understand. ”

Lu Yuansheng straightened his waist, it was not suitable to put it directly when he first met, and after all the admission procedures were completed and he could go to school normally, it would be difficult to say.

"It's good to understand, then let's get to know it again, Lin Yusheng, the leader of the B0451 working group of the Dongtian Project." Lin Yusheng stood up and stretched out his hand to Lu Yuansheng.

"Hello team leader! New team member Lu Yuansheng reports to you! ”

Lu Yuansheng also hurriedly stood up and held the other party's hand.

"Don't be so restrained, just call Manager Lin, I'm actually similar to you in terms of level." Lin Yusheng smiled slightly.

"Okay, let's go, let you see the specific venue we are responsible for." Lin Yusheng walked out from behind the desk and patted Lu Yuansheng on the shoulder.

On one side of the rows of shelves, there is also a closed blue elastic door, Lin Yusheng opened half of the door, and there was a small elevator hall inside, with the sound of the door opening, the voice-activated lights inside also lit up, illuminating the white bare wall and an old elevator door that looked like it had been many years.

"This is the usual freight elevator." As he spoke, Lin Yusheng had already pressed his index finger on the electronic screen showing the floor.

The red numbers on the electronic screen jumped a few times, and the elastic door next to it sounded a click, and it was locked by a magnetic lock, and the old elevator door opened, revealing a deep elevator shaft, and you can see orange lights arranged at an equal distance downward for a long distance.

"Your fingerprint information has been synchronized after I got your information, but many of the related equipment here has not yet been completed, so the security measures are limited to mechanical door locks and electronic fingerprints, so be careful when you come in."

"Also, the unfinished equipment includes the downward elevator, so we have to climb down."

Lin Yusheng spread his hands to Lu Yuansheng.

He gave Lu Yuansheng a demonstration, and directly stepped on a concave ladder at the edge of the door and slowly poked down.

Lu Yuansheng watched the other party's skillful movements, looked up again, and saw an elevator hanging one floor above.

"If something goes wrong with this elevator and it falls, it's going to be a big deal." Lu Yuansheng complained in his heart, and slowly climbed down with Lin Yusheng.

In this way, Lu Yuansheng didn't know how long it took to climb before stepping on the ground, if he hadn't had good training quality, he would have been scared and trembling if he were an ordinary person. Looking up, the top of the deep well was no longer visible, and even the yellow light from the top was blurred.

Seeing Lu Yuansheng's movements, Lin Yusheng said: "It's nothing, it's only a few hundred meters deep, and the conditions here are limited, so you can only make a shallow entrance." ”

"And that's just a shallow entrance?" Lu Yuansheng was surprised.

"Let's go, there's still a little way to go." Lin Yusheng did not respond to his surprise.

After walking some distance around the circular downward ramp, the two of them finally saw a closed steel gate.

At a distance from the gate, Lin Yusheng stretched out his right hand to the side of the wall, and the inducted wall was recessed, revealing the fingerprint screen behind him, and his hand was also pressed on it. At the same time as the green light lit up on the screen, an electronic female voice also sounded.

"Palmprint verification passed, vital signs scanning begins."

"Scanned."

"Vital Signs Certified."

"The number of people who passed this time is 2."

"This is the last level, remember the location of the secret door, the left hand side on odd-numbered days, and the right-hand side on even-numbered days, all in the same position." As the thick door slowly opened, Lin Yusheng withdrew his right hand and said to Lu Yuansheng.

Behind the door, the first thing that came was a slightly dazzling light, accompanied by a burst of ping-pong knocking.

It is hard to imagine that there is such an open space under the ground thousands of meters below, and from the position that comes out of the gate, close to the top of this huge space, the arc-shaped high-strength metal support and strong concrete components the entire top of the space. It is interspersed with multiple light sources to illuminate the underground world as if it were day.

Lu Yuansheng approached the guardrail on the edge, and looked down, conservatively estimated to be more than 20 stories high, and the wide area below was already like a large square, and the surrounding walls were obviously converted into sturdy modern buildings, and many workers were hanging from the outside, trimming the shape and installing equipment for this grand building.

In the distance, a large tunnel runs under the building, and a convoy of trains is stopping at the mouth of the tunnel to unload goods.

"This is the first time you've seen the body of the 'Cave Heaven', right?" Lin Yusheng also leaned over, propped his hands on the guardrail and said.

"Well, yes, the entrance to the countermeasures bureau is also in charge of a special person, and I don't have enough authority, and I've only heard about it." Lu Yuansheng returned to the Tao.

"This is just a periphery of the cave, and if you go through the tunnel over there, it is the real cave, an underground city that can accommodate millions of people to live on their own for decades, but it is still under construction, and the specific progress is a confidential matter, and I don't know." Lin Yusheng pointed to the tunnel mouth in the distance and said.

"As for how long people can survive, it depends on Yaojing's reserves, and after a while, a Yaohe electromechanical group will also be placed here, and at that time, the focus of our work will be on it." Lin Yusheng bent his index finger and pointed at the convoy again.

"Is there a day when the cave must be activated?"

Lu Yuansheng looked at Lin Yusheng and asked.

"Don't think about it, at least I hope it doesn't get activated one day, because then, it could be the end of the world. However, according to the plan, part of it will be designated as a research area. ”

"Do you remember why the Northern Capital City was renamed the current Red Capital City?"

Lin Yusheng turned his head and asked.

"Demonstrator bombs from Shazam during World War IV."

Lu Yuansheng replied that this is a common sense that anyone who knows a little about modern history.

"The discovery of Yaojing allowed the development of Nafila Continent, and also allowed some countries on it to expand rapidly by relying on Yaojing, so that they wanted to challenge the original world pattern."

"The Yao nuclear bomb that deliberately missed the north of Chidu blew through the Beida Mountains, and the fire burned in the north for five days before it was completely extinguished, at least for three days, the sky of Chidu was red, although the effect of Yaojing made the radioactivity almost harmless, but the Beida Mountains were still blocked for thirty years."

"There were more than 3,000 casualties, but the aftermath was incalculable. In order to wake up the domestic environment of living comfortably for a long time, the northern capital city has since been renamed Akato Castle, and the main peak of the Beida mountain range has also been renamed Akaren Mountain. ”

"After that, the Dongtian plan was proposed." Lin Yusheng recalled this period of history, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth curled, "However, Shazam has also disappeared from the map since then." ”

Lu Yuansheng also reviewed this history in his heart. More than 100 years ago, during World War III, Yaojing was discovered by a female scientist named Nafila.

Yaojing's powerful restraint effect on high-energy matter and other magical properties directly contributed to the rapid development of a series of technologies, including controlled nuclear fusion, energy transformation, and even biological evolution, and the world was able to settle down. As the main country of origin of Yaojing, many Nafila countries, including Shazam, have rapidly developed to the level of first-tier countries.

However, the peace only lasted for more than 50 years, because the resources were limited, and the technology developed by the large countries was not interoperable with the small countries.

Shazam was one of the most radical of these. As a result, under the combined effect of complex resource contradictions and some existing regional contradictions, Shazam first launched an offensive against several major countries in the world......

In the end, World War IV ended with Shazam being physically erased from the map, and the nations of Nafila were ...... It was also chaotic and scattered.

Lin Yusheng stood up straight, put his hands in his pockets, his expression changed back to serious, and said to Lu Yuansheng: "Our job is to protect this place before the unforeseen happens, and before it is activated, we must do a good job of secrecy!" ”

"You must know that the entire Chidu City has a permanent population of far more than 30 million, even if the upper limit of the number of people that Dongtian can shelter can be 5 million, it also means that there are 25 million people who cannot be sheltered."

"Twenty-five million people are under the pressure of death, and the turmoil that erupts is enough to destroy it all before the enemy's barrage sweeps it down."

"What's more, there are more than 25 million people in the country."

"Do you understand?"

"Understood." Lu Yuansheng replied briefly.

Lin Yusheng turned around, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go, there will be more to see in the future." ”

After returning to the ground, Lin Yusheng turned back into Manager Lin and took him around the small supermarket.

"During your part-time job, you just have to work hard if you don't have a task. But even if it's between known colleagues, don't just discuss things that shouldn't be discussed, and don't bring people into the 'work' area. In addition, it is not allowed to bring the Shroud equipment into and use it, which is an important addition in the near future. ”

Lin Yusheng stood at the door of the cargo room, looked at the supermarket where there were not many people outside with his hands in his pockets, and said in a suppressed voice.

"You can do whatever you want to do at other times, I don't interfere with this, but during the 'work', everything is dominated by the command of my side." Lin Yusheng emphasized again.

"Hmm." Lu Yuansheng didn't answer much.

"Good job."

Lin Yusheng patted Lu Yuansheng's shoulder and walked back to his office.

"Finally able to go... I'm tired from climbing up and down..."Lu Yuansheng complained in his heart.

Walking on the avenue of the campus, Lu Yuansheng did not shy away from making a phone call:

"Hey, Uncle Li, why did you arrange such a troublesome job for me."

Uncle Li replied unhurriedly, "Didn't I tell you to hear about their arrangements?" ”

"But you didn't say you wanted me to work! Do I have to support myself when I go to college? ”

"I think it's good to give you a social adaptation."

"But I think I'm already very good at social adaptation." Lu Yuansheng replied.

"Hehehe, just study hard, by the way, in the future, in addition to the subsidies and part-time money you should have, don't ask me for it, work hard to learn the normal way to support yourself, hang up."

“.……”

"Damn..."Lu Yuansheng scolded secretly.

"I don't have enough money for my personal work? Last time, I cared about Brother Bai, but I didn't have time to ask this old fox for money! ”

When Lu Yuansheng just thought so, a text message was received on his mobile phone.

"I forgot to tell you, I'll keep your money for you first, and I'll give it to you when you graduate from college, rest assured, I left you 5,000 as pocket money, and you can discuss special things."

When Lu Yuansheng opened his account... Sure enough, only 5,000 pieces remained.

"Wait... What about my tuition?! ”
