It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when Tu Ran came out of the interrogation room.
She hasn't eaten since seven in the morning. She was busy fighting for a long time, which consumed a lot of energy. She is so hungry that her stomach is sticking to her back.
The "King Kong Body" replenished some of her energy, but it was far from enough.
She was going to go to a convenience store near the Supervision Department to buy some fast food for a meal, and then rush back to Pandalin District as she would not be able to get off work until seven o'clock tomorrow morning.
Tu Ran couldn't help but complain in her heart about the person who designed this worksheet.
Work twenty-four hours and rest twelve hours.
Is this kind of time arrangement possible for a normal human being?
After cursing for more than ten rounds, Tu Ran finally felt relieved and the elevator stopped on the first floor.
Tu Ran walked through the busy hall and went to the 24-hour convenience store to buy nutrient solution and rice balls. After quickly finishing them, she took the suspended tram to the Pandalin area.
She first went back to the hotel in Pandalin District, took out the laser gun parts hidden on her body one by one, put them in a bag, and hid them in the corner of the closet.
Then we contacted the logistics department to send a new combat helmet.
Her last combat helmet lay in pieces on the ground of the Sankar Arsenal.
She changed her combat helmets so quickly that she changed two combat helmets in just a few days.
She has not a penny left from this month's salary.
Tu Ran, feeling a little sad, took a car to the meeting room of the Pandalin District Executive Department.
Only one genetic monster appeared in Pandalin District today, and it had been dealt with by the pioneers who stayed in Pandalin District. Tu Ran went to the meeting room at this time and was on standby.
A few people gathered in the conference room, scattered around. No one was in the mood to talk and sat in their seats in silence, which was in stark contrast to the lively atmosphere this morning.
A pioneer from her class died just a few hours later.
Unfortunately, he was assigned to Xie Hong's group. Except for Xie Wei who escaped, all other people in the East District that Xie Hong was in charge of were wiped out, including the five second-generation pioneers led by him.
The second-generation pioneers led by other pioneers also suffered losses. For example, in the team led by Xiao Di, one pioneer was eaten up by several genetic monsters. In the team led by Min Tao, two pioneers suffered serious brain injuries and are now lying unconscious in the nutrition cabin of the medical department.
These people just graduated from the training base yesterday, and today they suffered such a heavy blow. Everyone feels particularly heavy-hearted.
Compared to them, Tu Ran's team was the best preserved.
They are the best among the second generation and have strong abilities. In addition, Tu Ran is lucky. The South District he leads does not have hordes of large genetic monsters or highly explosive dangerous goods. They follow Tu Ran to be responsible for the South District, and the danger is much smaller than in other districts.
"Tu Ran...senior."
Seeing Tu Ran coming in, several people stood up, looking a little at a loss.
"Sit down." Tu Ran stretched out her foot and hooked a chair to sit down. "How is your injury?"
Shen Yunhe looked up, knowing that he was being asked, and said hurriedly, "He took off his clothes just in time. He was only slightly burned. He took two doses of recovery agent and is healed now."
"What about you? How are you? I didn't have time to notice you on the battlefield." Tu Ran looked at the other four people.
"We weren't seriously injured. We'll be fine after a few doses of recovery medicine." The others replied.
"That's good." Tu Ran nodded and looked at Xiao Di who was in the same conference room. He was feeling deeply guilty because he had lost a team member.
Tu Ran walked over and patted his shoulder as a consolation. She wanted to say something to comfort him, but after a while, she couldn't think of anything suitable. She was not very good at comforting people, especially for those who were grieving a life. Verbal comfort seemed very powerless. Xiao Di felt her concern and pulled the corners of his lips to give her a bitter smile.
In Tu Ran's opinion, these traumatized people should be given some time to rest and buffer, but the damn capitalists don't waste a minute and have to come back to carry out the mission right after experiencing the separation of life and death.
“Ding Ding——”
The communicator vibrated twice.
Tu Ran looked down and saw it was a task reminder.
They were asked to go to an aristocratic middle school in Pandalin District and escort the students who were about to graduate this year to visit and study at the Songwu Experimental Base.
Tu Ran tightened her fingers hanging at her sides, her jaw was tight, and her face was frosty.
Songwu Experimental Base is one of the many experimental bases of the institute, which houses various alien species, including living alien species and specimens made from alien corpses.
Most of the alien species here were brought out of the Threshold by the pioneers, and some of them were parasitic on the bodies of the pioneers and escaped from the Threshold, and later broke free from the pioneers' bodies and fled to various cities, and were later captured by the pioneers.
In general, they are built up with the lives of the pioneers.
None of the many laboratories in the institute are open to the public. Now, students from a middle school are going there to study. Tu Ran doesn't need to check the name of the middle school to know that it must be an aristocratic school, and it must be the top one among the aristocratic schools.
She took a look at the name of the school and searched for relevant content on the website to verify her guess, and easily found relevant information.
Sure enough, it was a school that even ordinary nobles couldn’t attend.
It is a top federal high school.
It is said that half of the senior officials of the federal government graduated from this school.
No wonder he could go to the research institute to study, and no wonder he could be escorted by their pioneer team.
Tu Ran sneered in her heart. This was the federal government. They didn't care that the pioneer team had just experienced a great battle and some of the people had lost their teammates and were extremely sad. The upper echelons would never understand these things. They only knew that the next generation in their family needed to know something about alien species and that close contact with alien species was very risky, so they let the pioneer team escort them personally.
In addition to Tu Ran, others also received this task reminder.
Tu Ran glanced at Xiao Di and looked at the others, "You guys adjust your mindset here, I'll take this mission."
Xiaodi looked at her gratefully.
Shen Yun, He Leqin and others picked up their weapons, stood up and followed Tu Ran away.
He pushed the door open and ran into Diao Hongzhi who was about to come in.
Tu Ran didn't even bother to look at him and just walked out past him.
The five people behind her saw her attitude. Although they didn't know what had happened, they followed Tu Ran firmly and ignored Diao Hongzhi.
But the other party called her directly.
"Just the six of you?"
Tu Ran turned around and stared at him, "What else?"
"How can six people be enough? There are so many students, if you hurt any of them, you will suffer the consequences!" Diao Hongzhi stretched his neck to look into the conference room and shouted, "What are you still doing sitting there? How can we complete the task with just six people? Those young masters and young ladies are so precious, we can't make any mistakes!"
