What Bai Chen didn't say was that she already considered herself a member of the "Old Task Force" team. Unless all her companions were replaced, she would definitely choose to continue, not wanting to repeat her previous experiences.
She felt that the current reason was enough to convince Long Yuehong, after all, it was indeed one of her thoughts.
Long Yuehong hesitated and said:
"But the probability of getting 'Apathy Syndrome' within the company is very low, almost like some incurable diseases, there's no need to be so afraid."
Since incurable diseases are unavoidable, there's no need to worry too much about "Apathy Syndrome".
Bai Chen calmly replied:
"It's completely different for me.
"Many incurable diseases can be prevented and avoided, but 'Apathy Syndrome' can't. Moreover, getting an incurable disease doesn't mean I'll die immediately, I still have plenty of time to deal with various things and find ways to fulfill my wishes. But once I get 'Apathy Syndrome', I'll immediately lose all reason and no longer be like a person."
"Yeah…" Long Yuehong couldn't argue with her at all.
The employees inside "Pangu Biology" are actually aware of this difference, but they have lived like this for decades, continuing from generation to generation. Most of the time, they will consciously or unconsciously ignore these things to make themselves happier and more relaxed.
Otherwise, what else can they do?
Shang Jianyao, who had changed his personality at some point and given up competing with Long Yuehong in one-handed push-ups, started a new topic.
He looked at Long Yuehong and said:
"If you leave the Security Department, which position do you hope to go to?"
Long Yuehong had really thought about this question in the dead of night, but he certainly couldn't say it out loud.
He organized his words and said:
"Wherever the company arranges me to go, I will go."
"Hypocritical." The honest Shang Jianyao spoke his mind.
While Long Yuehong's face flushed slightly, Shang Jianyao took the initiative to "consider" this matter for him:
"How about the director of the Activity Center?
"Look at Old Chen, most of the time he has nothing to do, just holds a cup, sits there, listens to people chatting, sells things on consignment, and can leave the meal arrangement to the employees below, without having to queue up himself.
"When he's busy, he just organizes activities, sings songs, dances, plays chess, plays basketball…"
Long Yuehong blurted out:
"That's not very suitable for me. I don't like interacting with many people so much, let alone organizing activities."
Speaking of which, he realized that his answer sounded like he had thought it over carefully, so he quickly added:
"I'm only D5 now, even if I can level up this time, I'll only be D6, um, leaving the Security Department can add a level according to convention, so that's D7, but the Activity Center director is D8 level."
"You still need to work hard!" Shang Jianyao patted Long Yuehong on the shoulder earnestly.
At this moment, Jiang Baimian, who had finished the report, walked in, heard the conversation between the two, and laughed:
"Little Long, don't think about it. Even if you can leave our team, you should stay in the Security Department, just transfer to internal affairs. You'll probably be doing intelligence analysis work. Otherwise, wouldn't all your experience be wasted?"
On the way back to "Pangu Biology", she had talked to Long Yuehong privately, saying that according to the regulations of the Security Department, members who were seriously injured and disabled could apply to leave the front-line team, and asked him to consider his future life.
And for this kind of member who has made great contributions, the Security Department will solicit his own opinion when arranging follow-up work.
Therefore, Jiang Baimian's words just now actually contained her own suggestion.
"That's fine too." Long Yuehong thought carefully and found that the work mentioned by the team leader was quite suitable for him.
Moreover, if he, who has lived on the surface, is transferred to a position completely isolated from the outside world, he will inevitably have a serious sense of loss and will not be able to adapt quickly.
In comparison, doing intelligence analysis allows him to still be in contact with the outside world to some extent and learn about things on the surface.
For some reason, Long Yuehong didn't want to discuss the matter of leaving the "Old Task Force" in depth, so he quickly pulled over a shield and said to Shang Jianyao:
"If you leave the Security Department, which position do you want to go to?"
Shang Jianyao's eyes lit up:
"After I save all of humanity, I want to apply to be the director of the Activity Center, holding singing competitions one week and organizing everyone to dance the next, alternating!"
What a simple ideal… Don't you think saving all of humanity and the wishes afterwards don't quite match? Long Yuehong muttered to himself and said perfunctorily:
"I hope there will be such a day."
Jiang Baimian stopped the two from chatting and clapped her hands:
"Everyone start exercising."
Because they had just returned, and the "Old Task Force" was extra tense most of the time on the graylands, they had to maintain sufficient condition, and there was no time to hone their bodies. Therefore, their first day of exercise focused on recovery and self-adjustment, which was quite friendly to Long Yuehong, who had just recovered from serious injuries.
But even so, his weakened body sweated faster than usual. Before long, his clothes were wetly stuck to his body.
"You have a small belly." Shang Jianyao pointed out.
Long Yuehong almost became angry out of embarrassment.
Isn't this like mentioning the pot that isn't open?
Shang Jianyao then began to direct:
"Little Bai, you hold his legs down and let him practice his core more."
"Okay." Bai Chen did not refuse.
Long Yuehong was stunned for a moment:
"Okay, okay…"
"Didn't you always do this?" Jiang Baimian glared at Shang Jianyao.
She was helping out when she saw an injustice.
Shang Jianyao said righteously:
"I forgot that I had to go to the doctor for a mental health checkup as soon as I got back."
With that, he walked towards the door of the training room.
Long Yuehong shook his head and began to exercise his abdominal core with Bai Chen's help.
During this process, he thought of the conversation with Shang Jianyao just now, thought of the future they yearned for, and felt a little emotional for a moment:
If there were no "Apathy Syndrome" and there were enough supplies, then such a life would be really good…
As the thought turned, Long Yuehong glanced at Bai Chen and looked at the team leader doing aerobics next to him, and couldn't help but add in his heart:
Actually, if we don't go on field missions and don't worry about "Apathy Syndrome", things are pretty good now…
…………
"Pangu Biology", third floor of the underground building.
Shang Jianyao met Dr. Lin at the old place.
This woman in her thirties had her black hair tied up, wore a white coat, and wore gold-rimmed glasses, appearing mature and intellectual.
She found Shang Jianyao's file, picked up a black fountain pen, and said in a casual tone:
"I thought you would come in a few days."
Shang Jianyao responded with a serious expression:
"I'm mainly here to tell you that there should be no need for further treatment and observation."
"Do you feel completely healed?" Dr. Lin didn't have much emotional fluctuation.
She had seen many similar patients and similar statements.
Shang Jianyao replied seriously:
"No, the problem has become more serious and is beyond saving."
Dr. Lin, who was hearing a patient evaluate his own situation like this for the first time, was clearly stunned for a few seconds:
"Whether you can be saved or not is not something you can judge yourself."
Shang Jianyao showed a sunny smile:
"We have reached an agreement and have a sufficiently complete consultation mechanism. Things are pretty good now and there is no need for further treatment. This can't be treated either. We can't sacrifice several living people in order to cure a disease."
We… Dr. Lin secretly "hissed" and followed Shang Jianyao's tone:
"Are you sure you have no disagreements at all?"
"There are, but the overall direction is consistent, which is enough. We seek common ground while reserving differences." Shang Jianyao looked completely unlike a patient.
Dr. Lin tentatively asked:
"What major direction have you reached an agreement on?"
"Save all of humanity!" Shang Jianyao's expression suddenly became serious.
Dr. Lin's hand holding the black fountain pen suddenly tightened.
She hesitated for a few seconds and said seriously:
"I will record your, your words just now and report them. Is there a problem?"
Her initial idea was to urge the higher-ups to take mandatory measures against Shang Jianyao and send him to the hospital to receive appropriate drug treatment.
"Okay." Shang Jianyao was quite frank and not afraid at all.
…………
647th floor, Room 14.
Jiang Baimian and others, who had finished their morning exercise, took a shower and returned to the office, waiting for the cafeteria to "open".
As soon as Shang Jianyao entered the room, he asked Long Yuehong, who was looking through the documents:
"Did you go to the Activity Center last night?"
Long Yuehong shook his head:
"Where would I have that time?
"My dad, my mom, my brother, and my sister have a lot of problems."
"Ah." Shang Jianyao looked regretful, "You haven't even shown them your mechanical arm yet. It's so enviable!"
Frankly speaking, Long Yuehong was actually a bit inferior about this matter. He didn't go to the Activity Center last night, which was also a factor. But hearing Shang Jianyao's words, he inexplicably felt that the mechanical arm didn't seem like a bad thing, just like that portable computer before, the neighbors were so envious.
Jiang Baimian vaguely grasped his thoughts and reminded with a smile:
"If you really don't adapt to the mechanical arm, wait for the rewards to be distributed, and go pick a biological prosthetic arm yourself. Don't choose the free ones, they're scams!"
"Um, I'll consider it." Long Yuehong was a little hesitant.
He didn't want to have surgery again.
This wasn't a good thing.
Jiang Baimian interrupted this discussion in a timely manner, looked at Bai Chen, and followed the topic just now, asking curiously:
"Little Bai, how do you usually spend your time when you return to your own floor?"
Bai Chen calmly replied:
"I watch the computer and rest in the room."
"Don't you go to the Activity Center?" Long Yuehong interjected.
Bai Chen shook her head:
"The people on our floor don't like going to the Activity Center very much."
Most of the people on your floor are employees who joined from outside, and there is still a bit of unfamiliarity between them… Jiang Baimian laughed:
"This shows that the director of your floor's Activity Center is unqualified.
"I'll have Wei and Little Long take you to other floors to take a look later, and see how lively the Activity Centers in other places are."
"Okay, okay." Shang Jianyao directly agreed.
Jiang Baimian was about to say something when the phone on the table suddenly rang.
