According to the precautions outside the wall that Si Xun sent her, Bai Ze’s communicator is almost a must outside the wall, but if you are too far away from the wall or the temporary base, even the communicator will fail.
Wen Xu didn't say anything else. After wishing Xie Xuan a safe return, he said that when she had time to go back to 275 Street, he would treat her to the meal she missed.
Although Xie Xuan thought it might just be a good wish, she still happily agreed.
The night outside the window had already become completely dark. The high-speed train had been running for almost six hours. The closer to the wall, the fewer people lived there. Most of the places were mechanized large-scale vegetable and fruit greenhouses and factory industrial parks.
Because compared to humans, the possibility and danger of infection for inorganic matter are much smaller.
Since there are no human settlements, all the street lights here will be turned off at 10 o'clock in the evening to save energy, just like another form of curfew.
Xie Xuan looked at the boundless night outside the window and the high walls casting huge shadows in the darkness, and felt a sense of emptiness about her future.
She looked for a while, drew the curtains, put down the chair, closed her eyes and prepared to sleep for a while.
Two hours later, Xie Xuan was awakened by the artificial intelligence on the high-speed train.
She opened her eyes and drew aside the curtains. It was completely dark outside the window. Almost everything she saw was dark, except for a few buildings in the distance that were still faintly lit.
Xie Xuan glanced at the time. It was half past ten and all the street lights had been turned off. The only building that was still lit was probably the unmanned factory.
Xie Xuan walked out of the business class cabin and opened the door. She saw her boyfriend dozing off against the wall with his head nodding. She woke up with a start.
She watched helplessly as the tired worker's expression changed from confusion to "someone owes me five million" in two seconds.
Xie Xuan couldn't help but feel sincere admiration for the sense of belief of the employees of the ecological organization, but she didn't say anything and turned directly into the bathroom next to the spirit behind her.
Because it was too late today, Xie Xuan and Beihou Ling went straight to the guesthouse designated by the Ecological Bureau on Street 1088 to stay for one night, and then rushed to Street 1098 early the next morning.
It was Xie Xuan's first time to such a remote place. As soon as she got off the high-speed train, she keenly smelled a slightly unpleasant smell in the air, like the lingering smell in the air after an infection incident, but it was very faint.
This really isn't Xie Xuan being pretentious, but there really is an infection here.
Strictly speaking, there is no place on Earth that is completely unpolluted. Even in the center of District 6, the soil and water sources deep underground are polluted. It’s just that near the high walls, the pollution from underground is closer to the surface.
Amidst this faint smell of corruption, Xie Xuan got into the special car with the people from the 111th branch of the Ecological Bureau who came to pick her up. Of course, Ling behind her also got in the car.
The person sent by the 111th branch was an ordinary person. He briefly told Xie Xuan about the current situation.
Because the jurisdiction of Branch 111 is close to the high wall, the total population of its entire jurisdiction may be less than the population of 279th Street alone.
But at the same time, there are very few people in their reception department. Most of the psychics in their branch are from the development department. Because the development department has to withdraw back to the wall during the rainy season, they will take on the work of the reception department at the same time.
Xie Xuan originally thought that the labor force in the reception department where she worked before was already exploited enough, but she didn't expect that there was a place where labor could be exploited even more.
The person from the 111 branch who served as both driver and guide said that the rainy season had not yet completely passed and the development department had not yet set out. After Xie Xuan arrived at the 111 branch, he would temporarily take on the work of the reception department and would not leave the wall until the rainy season was completely over next month.
"I'm very familiar with the work of the shelter department, so this is no problem." Xie Xuan said, turning to look at Mr. Ling behind him.
I just wonder if the people from this unfortunate ecological organization will have to stay here until the rainy season ends and watch her walk out of the high walls before they can go back to report.
The spirit behind him seemed to be thinking about this question as well, and it was rare that he didn't keep his eyes fixed on Xie Xuan all the time.
"But don't worry, because the population here is sparse, so the field rarely appears. Generally, it's just a common infection incident. It's completely sufficient to leave it to the logistics department to handle."
The guide added, "And your teammates haven't arrived yet, so you probably won't be assigned any missions during this time. Branch 111's building is on Street 1090, but the Development Department has another rest area on Street 1098, closest to the wall. Your quarters will also be there. But we'll stay on Street 1088 today, and I'll take you there tomorrow."
Xie Xuan had no expectations for tomorrow, but she was still somewhat excited about her teammates. "Aren't all my teammates from the original 111 branch?"
Guide: "Neither. Because the practice of the pioneering department is to regroup the team during the rainy season. Now that the rainy season is almost over, all the teams of the 111th Branch pioneering department are full, so your teammates are all newly deployed."
When Xie Xuan thought that because of her transfer here, four more unlucky people would be transferred to the Development Department, she suddenly felt a little comforted, no, a little guilty.
"So... I'm the captain?" Xie Xuan asked.
The guide nodded. "It seems so at the moment, but the pioneering teams don't have such clear divisions. Generally speaking, the person with strong leadership skills or the highest ability level will voluntarily become the captain."
Xie Xuan felt that he was already an A-level psychic now, and there shouldn't be a second A-level psychic assigned to him.
The guide talked about some things about the 111 branch and the 1098 Street Development Department rest area, and then they arrived at the designated reception area of the 1088 Street Ecological Bureau.
Although it is called a reception, it is actually just an ordinary hotel. Since it is already past ten o'clock, only the front desk is lit. There is no one there, and there is only a self-service check-in machine.
The guide helped Xie Xuan and Beihou Ling enter the information and told them to gather at the second-floor restaurant for breakfast at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. After breakfast, they would set off.
Because few people come here and there are many vacant rooms, the guide chose three connected rooms and left the middle one for Xie Xuan.
It can be seen that Mr. Ling behind the scenes is very satisfied with the arrangement of this room. He was very cautious along the way as if he was afraid that Xie Xuan would run away.
Now it seems this guide is too.
While waiting for the elevator, Xie Xuan couldn't help but ask the guide, "Are there many people who were transferred to the Development Department and then ran away halfway?"
The guide looked at Xie Xuan seriously, smiled and said, "How could that be? You are all very dedicated people."
Xie Xuan expressed doubts about this statement.
