"I felt they were quite distressed; their little faces were all scrunched up, and they couldn't smile anymore."
Bi Qiaoan slapped away his large hand that was trying to cause trouble and said, "Be serious! Let An'an and Nuannuan stay at home this afternoon. I won't be going over there anymore, so you shouldn't bring them to your workplace."
Shen Yanming nodded. "Okay, if you're here, you can stay with them in the lounge. As for me, I'll just have to stay in the office."
"Yeah, you've been pretty busy lately, haven't you? There's probably a lot to do at the end of the month."
“Yes, we have to rush to finish this. We also have to attend Li Zhaozhao’s wedding this weekend.” Shen Yanming smiled. “Luckily, he chose a weekend date, otherwise, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even be able to ask for leave.”
"Hmph, who told you to leave for so long?"
“It’s because we’ve been gone for so long.” Shen Yanming pinched Bi Qiaoan’s cheek. “Alright, go to sleep. You should rest at home for the next couple of days. Once you’ve recovered, you can consider whether or not to go back to work in the building.”
Bi Qiaoan nodded, "Okay!"
When Guo Tingshuo went to work in the afternoon, he brought two pieces of good news.
"First, people in our city can now register for sunscreen injections. Second, the smart bracelet has been upgraded to be detachable, allowing users to choose whether or not to replace it."
Guo Tingshuo placed two registration forms on the table. "Think about it. If needed, fill in your personal information. Oh, and you can also fill in your family members' information at the same time, so we can process it all under the name of the guard team."
Everyone nodded, but they didn't quite understand: "Boss, let's leave aside the sunlight desensitizer, but why upgrade the smart bracelet? And what kind of upgrade is it? Is it a motherboard upgrade, or just the addition of a detachable function?"
Guo Tingshuo smiled, "It's just that we've added a detachable feature. You've all probably heard about the case at the beginning of the year, right? After discussion, the leaders decided to modify some of the smart bracelets to be detachable. The purpose is to ensure that people who can't protect themselves can at least maintain their physical integrity when faced with unforeseen circumstances."
In this way, they can survive until rescue efforts, and then live independently as complete individuals.
Everyone fell silent after hearing this, because the reason for the upgrade was truly frustrating.
The smart bracelet was originally designed to be non-removable for security, but there are bound to be some ruthless individuals in this world. Therefore, the alliance had no choice but to introduce this measure as a remedy.
Of course, detachable parts could also increase crime rates. It's a trade-off, like trying to have your cake and eat it too.
"I think none of you need to be replaced, right?" Guo Tingshuo was quite confident in the combat capabilities of his team members.
Meng Wu, Miao Yifeng, and Liang Yi all nodded affirmatively, but Shen Yanming frowned and remained silent.
"What, Yanming, do you have something on your mind?" Guo Tingshuo asked.
Shen Yanming didn't hide anything: "Indeed, there is. My wife and I both joined the guard team halfway through our careers. Although we are better than ordinary people in terms of skills, we can't beat those who have been training for many years."
Also, we have children, whose chances of encountering danger are probably higher than others. If this bracelet were detachable...
"Old Shen, don't do anything rash! What if someone takes your bracelet? Where are we going to rescue you?" Meng Wu said anxiously before Shen Yanming could finish.
Shen Yanming patted the other person on the shoulder, "I know, but what if, like in the previous case, the other party catches us off guard and cuts off our hands? In that case, even if we are rescued, our livelihood will become a problem."
"No way, we're all guards. What heartless person would dare to lay a hand on us? That would be suicidal!" Miao Yifeng shook his head and said.
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "I was just making the worst-case scenario assumption. In other words, if they are mindful of our status as guards, even if I wear a detachable bracelet, I believe they won't dare to make things difficult for me."
After listening to all this, Guo Tingshuo nodded: "Alright, if you want to switch, then switch. Since you're worried about your family's safety, then do your best to improve your abilities. You know, although the guard team is your backup, when something happens, the most important thing is still yourself."
Because only if you are capable enough can you nip it in the bud, rather than trying to fix it afterward.
Shen Yanming nodded: "Don't worry, I will resume training as soon as possible."
"Yes, we'll send your An'an and Nuannuan over when they turn three, so they can practice together," Guo Tingshuo said with a smile.
Shen Yanming looked up at the sky speechlessly, "Fine, I can already imagine the miserable days my two babies will live under the care of so many uncles and elders."
After he said that, the whole room burst into laughter.
After Guo Tingshuo left, Shen Yanming took the registration form for replacing the smart bracelet and filled in his and Bi Qiaoan's information.
Ultimately, the main consideration is that they need more space. Wearing a bracelet for life, while having many advantages, also has its drawbacks. Perhaps a detachable bracelet would allow them more freedom.
After filling out the form, Shen Yanming took the desensitization agent registration form that had been passed around by everyone. He smiled and said, "I don't need this one, I'm already immune. My family is fine too, no one has gotten sick."
Then, glancing over casually, he noticed Meng Wu's name prominently displayed. His eyes widened as he asked, "Meng Wu, aren't you all better? Why do you still need to sign up for allergy medication?"
"Hey, I'm just scared. What if the sunlight mutates again someday? I'd be at a loss since I didn't get the injection."
"But you've already healed on your own!"
"Who knows if it will recur someday? I think it's better to get the shot. Old Shen, we're in similar situations, why don't you sign up too?"
Shen Yanming shook his head, "No, no, I'm afraid of pain." In reality, he didn't want to take up medical resources.
But Meng Wu didn't know that. He lowered his voice and said, "What's a grown man afraid of? It's just a little pain. You should think this through. If you miss this opportunity, you might not have another chance like this."
Shen Yanming nodded. "I know, but anyone with eyes can see that I don't need injections. Besides, my condition wasn't as severe as yours back then."
"That's true." Meng Wu also looked frightened. "You have no idea, I thought I was going to die back then, and I was thinking about what to do after I died. Luckily, I pulled through. It's good to be alive. You can smell fresh air, eat delicious food, and chat with good friends."
“Yes, only by living can there be hope,” Shen Yanming remarked, then returned to the main topic: “Is it okay for you to register like this?”
Meng Wu frowned. "I don't know either. I went to ask Captain Guo, and he told me to fill it out first, and then we'll see if the medical staff will give me the injection."
Shen Yanming nodded. "Yes, that works too."
