Although it was August, the weather in the mountains was very cool, and Li Rui had a good sleep.
He was woken up by the alarm clock in the early morning. He walked out and found that Zhou Xiong had already gotten up.
"There's still half an hour, so get ready," the other party said.
Half an hour refers to the time until the two of them go to the surveillance area.
Li Rui agreed, went to the table and took a bag of biscuits for breakfast. When the time was up, he left the villa with the team leader.
As a level 25 team leader, Zhou Xiong has a relatively large level gap with the current situation. He was originally a one-man team, but now a stranger suddenly came in. He decided to take it with him personally to ensure that everything was safe.
In fact, there is another layer of caution. He is not sure about Li Rui's identity now. If he is really an important person, he will not lose his life here. Even if he is a little frightened, if he is more petty and takes revenge, he will not be able to tell himself. The leisurely life is gone, so it is safer to keep it with you.
Li Rui didn't know that this slovenly man was so thoughtful. He just wanted to accumulate experience to upgrade and earn money to exchange for materials.
It was only during the day that he could fully see the appearance of this villa area. Compared with the night where he couldn't see anything clearly, it didn't look any better. It was still a bit eerie.
Perhaps it's the half-built walls or the old stone pillars lying among the weeds that add to the desolate feeling.
Zhou Xiong took out his cigarette and walked ahead.
"Your Huangliang City is usually pretty quiet, right?"
To avoid embarrassment, he made small talk.
"Well, in our place, the current folding frequency is considered normal. According to my team leader, it seems to have improved in the past year or two. There are very few other matters. Our Donglin Province is relatively peaceful."
Li Rui is not afraid of others. He won't speak when he has nothing to say, but he can pick up the conversation even if he starts talking.
"Yes, it is indeed more in the past two years."
Zhou Xiong said, "There are relatively few in Mihe. Among the four cities managed by our President Wu, only your Huangliang has the largest area."
His smoking style was very wild, and he finished it in a few puffs.
"Um, what kind of field work have you done before?"
"I participated in a level 10 overlapping situation." Li Rui could only say one thing without embarrassment.
"Um."
Zhou Xiong lit another cigarette, "Be careful, the current state is more dangerous than the secret state. After all, the injuries and deaths here are real."
According to regulations, secret agents below level 10 cannot participate in field operations, so he took it for granted that Li Rui participated in the mission when his level was higher than his current level. However, he never expected that this guy sneaked away on his own when he was at level 6. Go.
Not to mention that the punishment Li Rui received was only verbal criticism, not even a briefing. It was impossible for Mihe to know. Even if it was really reported, no one on their side would go to the intranet to read such an announcement. .
Li Rui nodded and asked, "Team Leader Zhou, is it impossible for a prophet to predict the type of situation?"
Zhou Xiong further concluded that this was a newbie. In fact, it was right to think so, but of course he would not be disdainful. As a team leader, it is a routine task to lead newcomers.
"I can only say, not necessarily. Prophecies are very random." Zhou Xiong always speaks briefly.
Li Rui said nothing, and the two of them patrolled the entire villa area until noon.
When Li Rui came back, another group had gone to take over, but there were still four people in the house.
"Xiao Li, come and sit."
The oldest Zheng Xiaoyue greeted.
Although this eldest sister has a small name, she is actually in her thirties, and she has a fierce style, like the kind of person who can curse in the vegetable market with her hands on her hips.
But this is judging people by their appearance. She is quite enthusiastic about Li Rui, but she focused on playing mahjong last night and only had a chance to chat during the day.
"Are there too many people over there? Why are you sent here?"
While talking, she took out a lunch box from the plastic bag on the table and pushed it over.
Li Rui thanked him and replied: "We do have quite a lot of people. I took the initiative to apply to the organization to work in the field."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
"That's nonsense." Zheng Xiaoyue disagreed, "You can apply for inter-organizational transfer if you want to? Which family prince are you from? Besides, what's the point of working in the field?"
Li Rui ignored the first two sentences and asked instead: "Don't you get money when you go out to work?"
Zheng Xiaoyue said straightforwardly: "We people will not be short of money. Most of them are lying flat now, but that's right. You are young, maybe you still have a chance."
Someone next to me answered: "The Secret Realm thing depends on your fate. I just registered it and didn't type the first few copies well. It might affect you for the rest of your life."
Li Rui also realized that everyone is complicated. People living here day by day may not be able to help themselves, or it may be a compromise to reality. No matter what, as long as they are happy.
He recalled for no reason the Wu Xing and Mei Meng he had met in Guxuan Town. He had allowed them to rub in, and his starting point had suddenly become much higher, which might have a long-term impact.
While they were talking, Zhou Xiong had been listening with open ears. He even felt that Li Rui's identity must be unusual, otherwise it would be impossible for him to be transferred as soon as he applied, and the vice president personally arranged it.
But he didn't have any other thoughts when thinking about this. He was just curious, so he showed off. He didn't care whether his superiors approved or not, as long as he met the most basic bottom line and didn't let anyone get into trouble in his hands.
Zheng Xiaoyue was a talkative person. She cleaned up the room and said, "If you want to improve your performance, you have to be careful. This situation is level 20. You are a raincaller and you have no self-defense ability. It is best not to Act alone.”
She turned to Zhou Xiong who was smoking a cigarette by the window after dinner: "Old Zhou, please keep an eye on it. If there is anything you can leave for Xiao Li, try to let him do it by himself. We will report it directly when the time comes. It’s all thanks to him. If you come here, you can’t leave empty-handed, right?”
Li Rui felt that this eldest sister was really nice.
The high-speed train roared into the station, and a family of three got off the train.
"What's so fun about Mihe?"
Wang Jia pouted, looking reluctant, but actually it was because he felt that someone was missing.
Wang Ma Du Yuying directly took the place and sighed helpfully: "I also said that I would take Xiao Rui with me."
Wang Huai said impatiently: "I told you that he went out with his classmates."
"I'll just mention, why are you in a hurry?"
"I'm in a hurry."
The couple walked out of the high-speed rail station while bickering and went to the reserved hotel to put their luggage.
Wang Huai took off his shoes and leaned on the bed to make a phone call.
"Guangping, I've arrived at Mihe. What kind of hotel is this? Oh, Kaibin Boutique Hotel, yes, not far from Nanshan. Okay, see you in the evening. Let's go hiking tomorrow."
Wang Jia was eavesdropping and fell on the sofa depressedly.
Why is it all about mountain climbing when traveling?
