Chapter 689: The Amazing Number of Shadows
With an idea for action in mind, Cheng Lin made his next move without hesitation.
Send Liang Jing out to collect information about the new projection.
He himself found a conference room in the first department, and then found He Shu, Song Jun and other familiar faces, and formed a temporary action team to prepare to lead the next exploration operation.
…
Yanshan.
Division 1 station, in the conference room.
Cheng Lin sat at the top, holding a remote control in his hand, and the projection screen behind him was lowered little by little.
"The order to assemble has been sent out, and the new members will arrive within one day."
Song Jun sat on the right side of the long table, closed the thin notebook in front of him, and turned to Cheng Lin.
"Very good," Cheng Lin nodded after hearing her words, and then said helplessly, "Isn't it a bit unkind to transfer them back on the first day of the new year? Oh, it seems like I'm going to offend someone."
"You know that too? But who made you the leader?" Song Jun rolled his eyes and said that since the two had known each other before, they could still afford to joke.
Cheng Lin could only smile bitterly when he heard this.
The projection was about to be turned on, and manpower was needed for the next exploration. After discussing with him, Liang Jing proposed that the graduates of this class be assigned to a division, and elites from various departments and bureaus be mobilized.
There is no way, there are not many people in the first division, and the last exploration defeated the Federation and gained a lot of new territory, there is a serious shortage of manpower, and the entire headquarters looks empty.
After much deliberation, I can only transfer those graduating students earlier.
But to say it is "ahead of schedule" is probably within a day or two.
When looking for Cheng Lin to deduce, the company had already considered the time factor.
As for Cheng Lin himself, from a selfish point of view, he is also happy to call people over.
He is an airborne soldier whose "leadership" is genuine.
It can be said that he has no foundation in a department and only relies on his seventh-level cultivation to gain a foothold. There is an urgent need to expand the team, and this group of newly graduated students is obviously the most suitable.
"When the students from Shueisha come over, plus the people I know from other colleges, such as Cao Wei, Song Xianzhen and others, we will have a basic base, and then we can develop the rest of the new members. It will be easy, just... use
Let’s practice this new projection.”
Sitting in the first place, Cheng Lin had already made a small calculation.
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from outside the door, which pulled Cheng Lin back from his thoughts.
He looked over and narrowed his eyes slightly.
I saw Deputy Director of the Secret Service Department Xu Qu pushing Shi Shengcun in a wheelchair in from the door.
The two of them were smiling, and Xu Gu was the first to speak:
"Coming here uninvited would be too disturbing."
Shi Shengcun also looked over with a smile.
Cheng Lin clenched his right hand imperceptibly, and then made himself look relaxed. He controlled his eyes not to linger on Shi Shengcun. He stood up as usual, walked over, welcomed the two of them in, and said with a smile:
"If you are looking for Minister Xu, please come in quickly. Hey, we are short of manpower. Why don't you just come?"
"Ha ha."
The two laughed when they heard this and sat down at the long table. Shi Shengcun suppressed his smile and said seriously:
"I have something on hand, so I was delayed a bit, otherwise I would have come here long ago. Why, tell us about this exploration?"
Hearing this, Cheng Lin turned his gaze over.
Shi Shengcun was still sitting in the wheelchair, his expression was as usual, his hands were folded and placed casually on the blanket on his legs. He looked the same.
If I have to say it, his face is a little pale, and it is obvious that his injury has not improved.
Blinking his eyes, Cheng Lin also said seriously:
"I didn't get a lot of information this time. I only had a basic concept of the projection. If nothing else happens, it should be a broken land, maybe a wilderness, or maybe an abandoned city. As for the lives in it...
Well, the word life may not be appropriate..."
In the conference room, Cheng Lin recounted the general situation in modified sentences.
"Oh? So, the enemy we face this time is a skeleton that moves in a strange way?" Shi Shengcun frowned slightly and asked.
After Cheng Lin nodded, Xu Gu exclaimed, "This... is a bit unexpected."
In the previous projections, although strange creatures also appeared, they were mainly alienated animals, similar to undead, and there were only "war spirits" like ghosts.
This time it went a step further, the dead were directly resurrected... which still somewhat shocked the two of them.
"It's not a big problem. According to the information I obtained, these undead themselves are not very powerful. Of course... what I mean here is that for practitioners, the biggest difficulty is that they have no fear, so they can only be dispersed.
And there are huge numbers of them... But you just need to pay attention to this, act steadily, don't rush in deeply, and don't get besieged, and you should be fine."
After a pause, Cheng Lin added:
"The skeletons of those skeletons are very strange. Some of them are almost like jade in texture. As for their uses, we can only wait until they are broken up, taken out, and then studied."
After all, everyone is working hard to explore projections for the sake of "profit". In this projection, Cheng Lin thought about it and put aside the "church" that he didn't know would appear. The most valuable thing is probably
The bones themselves.
"Well, since this part is handed over to you, the relevant permissions of the Special Division will naturally be opened for you," Shi Shengcun seemed quite decentralized and said with a smile, "Considering that this exploration is different from the past, the permissions of the intranet are accessed by me.
Someone has been arranged to do it for you. When the time comes, you can use the communicator to communicate with the exploration teams in other areas."
Cheng Lin looked happy when he heard this, and immediately shook his head with a smile:
"It's hard to say, after all, I can't decide the number and location of the projections. Who knows how many projections there are this time? In what way will they appear? Based on previous experience, the trend of projections seems to be uniform, that is to say, it is very
Maybe this time only one giant projection will appear in the world, and then the exploration method will only need to repeat the last arrangement."
"So, we still need to wait for news."
"Yes." Cheng Lin nodded, and then saw the clerk in the conference room handing three cups of hot tea to three people respectively. The conversation came to an end, and they chatted casually, waiting for new news.
About an hour later, there were rapid footsteps outside the door, followed by a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Cheng Lin put down his tea cup and saw Liang Jing pushing in the door. The latter was holding a hot printed document in his hand and said:
"The results are out! The reports we have received so far show that the number of suspected projections in China has reached 25! The real number may be more than this, and it will take time to verify! As for the global scale, it is estimated to be more than 200!"
"So many?" Cheng Lin was stunned for a moment, and then expressed his surprise unabashedly. Shi Shengcun and Xu Qui next to him also had similar expressions.
"Yes, but correspondingly, the area of these projections is much smaller, and most of them appear in the suburbs of different cities, beside sparsely populated highways." Liang Jing continued.
Cheng Lin nodded, touched his chin, and a light flashed in his eyes.
This situation...is somewhat similar to the first and second deductions. At that time, the projection form was characterized by being small and large in number.
"Well, if twelve times is a reincarnation, then does this thirteenth time count as a new beginning?"
Cheng Lin couldn't help but think of it jokingly, and then said with a smile:
Chapter completed!
