"Firing squad?"
The interviewees in the National Security Bureau all had dark lines on their faces. You Jilong's expression turned cold, and he shouted, "Who said that? Step forward!"
Ren Suo turned his head and glanced, feeling a captivating figure flash through the crowd, but there were too many people, and Ren Suo couldn't see clearly.
You Jilong surveyed the more than two hundred interviewees in the hall, his face grim, and continued, "Next, all interviewees will go to a training base for five days of basic training. During this period, all internal and external communication will be cut off. If anyone is unwilling, you can give up your interview qualification now and leave directly."
"Five days?"
"And cut off communication?"
This sudden news shocked all the interviewees. Someone asked, "You didn't tell us this before!"
Ren Suo, however, suddenly understood – no wonder they were told to bring a change of clothes.
You Jilong said indifferently, "Yes, because this is an instruction issued by the higher-ups only three hours ago. We will directly skip the boring interview review and enter the subsequent basic training for joint testing. We are not forcing anyone; those who want to leave can leave and will return directly to their original units to work."
Li Qingxuan raised her hand and asked, "Living for five days, we didn't bring luggage. Toothpaste, toothbrushes, towels, etc., we only brought clothes..."
"The base has uniforms of all sizes, and daily necessities are all available. As for underwear, you can buy it immediately," You Jilong said indifferently. "It's half the price of similar products on the market, and it's for internal special supply. It's not available outside. We support UnionPay and Alipay, so you don't need to worry about this."
Someone else asked, "What position are we interviewing for?"
You Jilong said, "It will be explained at the training base. I can only say it's a profession in the National Security 18th Bureau. Now, those who are unwilling to go can leave. Those who are willing, please step forward and line up when your name is called."
Everyone looked at each other, and many people left the National Security Bureau one after another. They were originally newcomers from other units, and the benefits of their units might be better than the National Security Bureau. They came to this interview in a daze, and upon hearing such conditions, they naturally no longer hesitated and directly gave up this so-called interview qualification.
They didn't lack good jobs, so why suffer this hardship?
Within a few minutes, dozens of people left the hall. Ren Suo naturally didn't leave – he was becoming more and more interested in this National Security 18th Bureau. Moreover, the benefits of the National Security Bureau were indeed better than the street office!
Li Qingxuan didn't leave, and neither did Jie Qiansi, Qiao Muyi, and others. Perhaps they still had some small plans in their hearts. The remaining people didn't know whether they were just joining in the fun or staying because of the 'rumor' that Jie Qiansi mentioned.
Looking at the approximately one hundred people still in front of him, You Jilong's expression didn't change. He took out a list and began calling names: "Wang Fugui, Linghu Yao, Lai Haiwen... Step forward!"
Eight men stepped forward one after another, took out their ID cards, and handed them to the Black Vest for inspection. After the inspection was completed, they were led by the Black Vest to the bus outside.
The one inspecting Ren Suo was Li Dan. He still had that sleepy look, with dark circles under his eyes, but he recognized Ren Suo: "It's you."
Ren Suo smiled and said, "Then can you answer the question I asked last time?"
"Huh?" Li Dan was slightly startled. "Oh, you asked how that person knocked out the others... Wait a few more hours, and you'll know. Get on the bus. Remember, you are a member of the Eighth Team."
There was only one bus left outside. The full bus had already left. When Ren Suo got on, he saw Qiao Muyi already sitting inside. His eyes lit up, and he unceremoniously –
"It's better for girls to sit with girls." Li Qingxuan pulled Ren Suo and smiled as she sat next to Qiao Muyi.
Ren Suo sat behind Qiao Muyi, thinking about how he could 'touch' Qiao Muyi for more than two hours to get her key. At this moment, that Jie Qiansi actually sat next to him. Ren Suo naturally showed a look of disgust: "Uh, isn't it not so good for boys to sit together?"
Jie Qiansi ignored him and kept talking to Li Qingxuan and Qiao Muyi in front, taking out his phone to add Qiao Muyi's WeChat, and using his previous rhetoric: "Everyone can discuss and communicate with each other, helping each other..."
Although there were quite a few girls among the interviewees, Li Qingxuan and Qiao Muyi could be considered above average in terms of looks, no wonder Jie Qiansi was so eager.
At this moment, the bus was full, and a Black Vest walked up and said loudly, "Now, if you need to notify your family, do it as soon as possible. When we enter the base later, your phones will be collected centrally."
"They won't even let us use our phones?" The people on the bus reacted strongly. You know, Xuan Country has completely entered the era of smart devices now. It's as rare for these young people not to play with their phones every day as it is for online gamers not to get sign-in rewards.
They thought that cutting off internal and external communication at most meant not being allowed to play with their phones during normal times, but they didn't expect that they wouldn't even be allowed to keep their phones. Some people who were rushing to activate short-term data packages to download movies and novels also stopped their actions. Now they couldn't even be single-player gamers.
Jie Qiansi had an even more bitter expression. He had created a WeChat group and added people to it specifically for communication via WeChat. Now that their phones were gone, the group was naturally useless...
Ren Suo lived alone, so he didn't need to worry about anything. He just needed to post on his Moments to inform his family that he would be attending a civil servant training camp for the next few days.
Five hours later, Ren Suo and the others had completely left the Lianjiang City area and entered the vicinity of the Qingping Mountain Range. Continuous hours of sitting in a car easily led to fatigue and drowsiness. Most people on the bus had already adjusted their seat backs and fallen asleep. At this moment, Ren Suo saw that most of the people next to him were asleep, so he secretly extended his wicked hand from his lap towards Qiao Muyi...
"Searching for key."
"Key is in sleep state, beginning acquisition."
"Discovered key has formed, requires 303 seconds to acquire. Contact must be maintained during acquisition. 302, 301, 300..."
What, so it turned out that when Qiao Muyi was asleep, Ren Suo only needed about five minutes to finish with her?
However, at this moment, Qiao Muyi's body moved. She mumbled, turned her head, and saw a hand resting on her shoulder.
She saw Ren Suo behind her, leaning against her chair and sleeping soundly, with a perverted hand lightly touching her shoulder. So Qiao Muyi extended a finger and pushed Ren Suo's hand away.
"Search interrupted."
Ren Suo grunted, pretending to be uncomfortable in his sleep, and lay back down. He thought to himself: Did she just happen to wake up, or did she wake up because he was touching the key?
However, knowing that the acquisition time for the 'key' in a dream state would be greatly shortened was already a huge surprise for Ren Suo. He still had a treasure chest to open at home. Now that he had discovered Qiao Muyi, he definitely wouldn't miss this opportunity. He still had a chance during the training camp in the next few days.
The sky outside gradually darkened, and Ren Suo's stomach also told him it was almost dinner time. At this moment, the bus finally passed a military checkpoint and drove into a hidden base within the mountains.
After sitting in the car for several hours, he finally got off. Ren Suo stretched, feeling his bones pop.
"There are quite a few buses here."
Ren Suo saw that there were more than ten buses parked at the base and said thoughtfully.
"It's not just people from our Lianjiang City." Jie Qiansi was also a little surprised. "The license plates on those cars are from nearby Yuanshi City, Pingjiang City... These buses were temporarily hired by the National Security Bureau."
Ren Suo said, "So, all the civil servants in the province who meet the requirements of the National Security Bureau are gathered here?"
Suddenly, they heard someone next to them say, "With so many people gathered here and it being so remote, they can even skip the step of disposing of the bodies after shooting everyone."
