Chen Du immediately smiled:

"Go to that part, be careful to avoid..."

Before he finished speaking, he looked up at the ceiling and signaled Shang Jianyao to be careful.

Surveillance cameras are installed on each floor of the "living area", but the number is not large, only at key intersections and indoor public places.

In comparison, whether it is the "internal ecological zone" or the "factory zone", the number of surveillance cameras is much higher, but it is far from comparable to the "research zone" and "management zone".

Shang Jianyao followed Chen Du's gaze, looked at the intersection ahead, and said with a smile:

"It might not open at all."

"Yes." Chen Du actually agreed with Shang Jianyao's statement.

This is because similar situations within the company are too common. From time to time, it is revealed that a certain device has been damaged for a long time and cannot be used. It is usually just a matter of putting it there to pretend.

It is said that this is related to the chaos when the Old World was destroyed and some surviving humans hurriedly retreated into the underground building.

Moreover, the new calendar has been in 46 years, and it is very normal for some equipment to be damaged. The corresponding production lines may not be rebuilt due to resource shortage, technology loss, and no information, so they cannot be replaced and repaired.

"But, you still have to be careful. The company has always been very strict about religious beliefs." Chen Du reminded him, holding the flashlight and walking forward.

When he arrived at the intersection, he turned off the flashlight and turned to the right side by moving carefully against the wall.

Shang Jianyao followed him and once again turned his attention to the surveillance camera on the ceiling of the intersection.

There is a red dot flashing slowly there.

Shang Jianyao looked at the red dot, suddenly raised his hands, pinched his cheeks, and pulled the corners of his mouth upwards.

He made a face.

Then, he rubbed the muscles on his face that were rested by the flashlight, learned to be subdued and moved against the wall.

After turning around like this for a while, Shen Du stopped in front of the gate of No. 35, Area A.

He then raised his left hand and tapped him three times.

"New life is like the sun." A deliberate and low voice came from the room.

Chen Du stretched his neck forward and responded in an equally low voice:

“Life is the heaviest.”

With a creaking sound, the door was open, and a dim light flowed out, shaking gently.

"Is this?" The woman who opened the door saw Shang Jianyao behind Shen Du.

She was in her thirties and had obviously received genetic improvements. Her eyebrows were black and straight, her nose was high and raised, and her eyes were raised. She was both beautiful and had her own characteristics.

Shang Jianyao stepped forward and said sincerely:

“I participated for the first time.

"Uncle Chen brought me here."

The woman's slightly frown gradually stretched out and she said thoughtfully:

"It turned out to be a Protestant."

She glanced left and right and made way:

"Come in quickly and don't let others see it."

Seeing that the woman recognized Shang Jianyao's identity, Chen Du strode into the room and turned off the flashlight.

Shang Jianyao followed behind, looked around, and took the situation in the room into his eyes.

This room is much larger than what he lives in now, and there is a door on the inner wall, indicating that there is an inner bedroom, bathroom or kitchenette.

This reminded Shang Jianyao of his previous home, which indicated that the owner of this room was either d4 and above, or one of them reached the D7 group leader level.

The room outside is about two meters wide and nearly five meters deep. There is a wardrobe and a cabinet next to the inner wall. A bedside table separated from these two pieces of furniture is a double bed. It is placed horizontally, leaving an aisle leading to the inner lying at the foot of the bed.

Outside the big bed is a small living room composed of a backrest chair, a square stool, a low stool, a coffee table, a desk, and a cloth sofa.

At this time, two candles were lit on the coffee table, creating a dim light. There were many people sitting around, including men and women, old and strong.

Shang Jianyao didn't count it in detail, but looking at the posture of sitting full of people, he felt that there were at least ten people.

"Xiao Shang, register first." The woman who opened the door took out the soft-shell notebook from somewhere.

Shang Jianyao took the pen and wrote his name on the blank page opened by the other party.

"Do you know me?" He looked curious.

The woman smiled and said:

"When your parents lived here, we were barely neighbors.

"But you shouldn't remember me anymore. You can call me Aunt Li."

"Well, Aunt Li." Shang Jianyao was not polite at all.

"Okay, go and sit down quickly. The 'guilder' is about to start preaching." The woman surnamed Li pointed to a short stool in the empty space.

"Where are you sitting?" Shang Jianyao asked politely.

"I can sit by the bed." The woman surnamed Li replied with a smile.

Shang Jianyao didn't ask any more questions, took a few steps and sat down.

After about two or three minutes, the door leading into the lying inside opened and a figure walked out.

This figure is not unfamiliar with Jian Yao. It was Aunt Ren who he met at the "Activity Center" in the evening, serving the D3-level employees of the company's "Strategic Committee".

At this time, Ren Jie was still wearing the polyester shirt, but changed into a pair of gray trousers. On her beautiful face, who could see some traces of time, her expression was holy and dignified.

She walked to the big bed, the wardrobe, between the cabinets, and swept around everyone.

"Xiao Shang?" She saw Shang Jianyao sitting straight at a glance.

Shang Jianyao stood up, stepped forward two steps, and said hello:

"Aunt Ren, I just registered.

"Uncle Shen brought me here."

Ren Jie's eyes moved slightly, as if she was thinking about something, and then she smiled:

"So that's the case, I've passed the inspection."

"Sit down."

When Shang Jianyao sat down again, she stared at everyone and said:

"Since new church members are participating, I'll give a brief introduction to our church."

Papa, Shang Jianyao applauded warmly.

Shen Du and others either turned around or turned sideways, looking at him with the same confused eyes.

Ren Jie probably heard that Shang Jianyao was a person with a relatively casual personality. He was stunned for a moment and laughed:

"No need to do this, this is not a company meeting."

She paused for two seconds, and after Shang Jianyao stopped, she said in a deep voice:

"All of us here have never left the company and have never really stepped onto the surface.

"The situation of the dust we have mastered only comes from the company's broadcast, introduction of textbooks, descriptions of surrounding "safety department" employees, and these have been screened confidentially in advance.

“We don’t really understand the dust, just like we never really see the sky.”

Her eyes swept around and fell on Shang Jianyao's face:

"We know that after the destruction of the old world, after a long period of chaos and disputes, human beings finally rebuilt order in some areas. With the new calendar, we also know that the shadows are still shrouded in gray soil, the place of order is in chaos, the no-man's land, and various wilderness mountains, just like the islands in textbooks to the sea. Pollution, distortion, and famine are like tides, coming one after another, endless.

"The most deadly thing is heartless disease, that is, the beast-turning disease in the textbook. Until today, we still do not understand its pathogenesis and transmission rules. Perhaps when we wake up, we degenerate into real 'wild beasts', unable to communicate, and only the instinct of predation is left."

Ren Jie took a breath and continued:

"This is what we know, so what do we don't know?

"It is why the old world is destroyed, and why the new order can be rebuilt.

"On the dust, among many humans, there are rumors like this:

“Some actions in the old world angered the gods and were destroyed by them, and the surviving people passed the test and were saved by them.

“Some of this rumor is true and some of it is fake.

"It is true that there is indeed a group of gods in this world. They jointly control the years and manage different months, so they are respected as "Zhengsu". Of course, some people call them "Sui Man", "Yuan God", "Cang God", "Savior", "Painter of the Past", and "Master of the Present".

"What's wrong is that the 'Zheng's' people did not destroy the old world by being angered, but this is just an inevitable result of normal development.

"Life is noble and sacred, but it will eventually pass away, and so will the world. It's like the old year will always come to the end of the year and prepare to enter the new year.

"Our church is called the 'life sacrifice'. It believes in the most special person in the 'shoulder year'. He is in charge of the 'shoulder' in December. He is the end of the year, but it also symbolizes the arrival of the new year. He is the end of the old world and the opener of the new world."

When Ren Jie talked about this, except Shang Jianyao, everyone else stretched out their arms, made a baby in his arms, and shook it gently:

"It will eventually be in the Siming."
