The Same Way, May Be Together for Strategy

Shen Jiayi gave Tom the innocence and justice he wanted, and then wanted him to become the deputy of the Awakening Office, helping No. 5 train and manage the entire psychic team.

But Tom refused, and after learning about his sister Luo Xuan's last appearance, he decided to equip himself and go find her. Although the Jinrui Hotel on Dongchen Avenue is far from here, over 18 kilometers away. For people who become smaller, it is almost equivalent to traveling across provinces and cities.

But for Tom, since he knows his sister is in this city, he has an obligation to find her, even if the chance is slim.

So he bid farewell to Shen Jiayi, hoping to exchange his contribution coins and skills for some good equipment, so that he could easily go to his destination.

Shen Jiayi frowned rare and said, "Everyone has their own goals. If you want to leave, I won't keep you. Whatever you want, go find Number 5 and pick it up." He then let him leave.

When Tom went to find the 5th in the afternoon, he saw Shen Jiayi again from the 5th's office.

"Are you going to Jinrui Hotel on Dongchen Avenue?" she asked.

Tom nodded firmly.

"Follow me." Shen Jiayi stood up straight and walked out. Tom was stunned and could only catch up quickly when he saw the constant eye movements of Number 5.

The luxury electric car that caught Shen Jiayi drove all the way west from Courtyard 8 to a designated restricted area west of the shelter.

Shen Jiayi remained silent all the way, except for handling things with a handheld tablet. The rest of the time was spent staring out the window, lost in thought.

Although Tom and she had a feeling of getting along at first sight, they didn't get to know each other very well, so naturally they wouldn't speak up. Anyway, he believed that Shen Jiayi would not call him up for no reason, and there must be something to show him.

Three cars passed the heavily guarded level and entered the underground base. After getting off the car, Tom was given a pass and hung on his chest. He followed her hurriedly through corridors and checked, and finally arrived at an open room.

This is a large workshop, with many workers busy. In the middle of the workshop, there is a two carriage train, but it is placed on a relatively wide monorail track.

At this moment, an old man wearing a white coat walked over quickly and said, "Mr. Shen."

"Dr. He, please let me know the progress."

"At present, the vehicle has been tested 33 times for installation and debugging, and the combination optimization rate has reached the predetermined 57%. The corresponding supporting equipment has also been in place. The total running time of the test has reached 314 hours, and the failure rate has been reduced to 23.1%."

Under his guidance, Tom followed Shen Jiayi to the front of this train, which was really a two carriage train. The first section has a closed carriage, while the second section is open.

Under the command of Dr. He, a staff member pressed a switch and surprisingly, three layers of steel plates were stacked at the bottom of the open carriage. With the sound of mechanical rumbling, the steel plates extended to form a platform three times the width of the carriage.

The staff handed over two safety helmets, and Shen Jiayi and Tom each wore one. Then, they stepped on the pedals and climbed onto the open platform of the car body.

Tom looked up and down and then asked, "Mr. Shen, is this train used to run on the city subway?"

Shen Jiayi nodded and gestured for him to follow. The three of them walked to the rear of the first enclosed carriage, opened the door, and entered.

Sitting in the carriage, Tom seemed to have returned to the days before the Micro Cataclysm, where there were rows of seats and makeshift tables, no different from previous trains.

They arrived at the front of the train, which was naturally the driver's cab, and the control platform was not complicated. The control lever and various button switches were indeed a mini train.

"Small subway trains, this is a scaled down version of urban subways," Shen Jiayi said standing in front of the control console. "The air in Morikawa City is no longer safe, and it is difficult to travel to various parts of the city just by walking on the ground."

Tom nodded and said, "The straight-line distance is the shortest, but at city landmarks, a building used to be like a Mount Everest to us. It would take a lot of time just to detour around it. If the destination is far away, the time spent would double, and the longer it is on the outside, the greater the chance of encountering danger."

"Tianlong is the name of this train platform walking on the subway line, and it will be one of the means for us to expand our exploration range of the Haiwei Mini Industrial Shelter."

Tom stroked the interior of the metal carriage, feeling the natural curve. "Wait... is this metal shaping? But I haven't taken on a similar task at the metal forging factory."

Dr. He chuckled and said, "The awakened ones who possess metal shapeshifting abilities in the shelter are not just the six people outside of you. There are 16 people in our train base alone, undertaking confidential manufacturing tasks."

Tom suddenly exclaimed, "I see. I just said about this convenient ability. Why do we usually do metal processing at the civilian level? So... wait... Dr. He... do you know me?"

"Of course, as the first awakener to discover the ability of metal shaping and apply it to the production of metal armor, it was you who helped us excavate so many awakeners of metal shaping that greatly accelerated the manufacturing progress of the Tianlong. I really wanted to get you to help me, but Mr. Shen kept evading me until today when I finally saw you. Just touch it and you will know that this is a part made of metal shaping, and you are indeed experienced."

Tom smiled, but on second thought, Shen Jiayi came to see this with him. Did he use this to persuade himself to stay?

"Mr. Shen, I wonder why you brought me here? I can tell that the level of confidentiality here is very high..."

"Tom," Shen Jiayi turned around, "I heard you plan to go to Jinrui Hotel alone?"

Tom was taken aback for a moment, but then understood that Shen Jiayi had obtained his plan from other people in half a day. He nodded and replied, "Yes, because before the disaster, I had a sister who was at the Jinrui Hotel. Since I knew she was there, I couldn't do nothing. So... I hope to leave the shelter and go find her."

Shen Jiayi waved his hand, and Dr. He left quietly. The driver's door gently closed before she said, "But after the micro disaster, everything changed. You should know that many people can't bear the shrinking process and die. Even if they shrink, they still face various biological threats. They even need to move to other places and may not stay there."

Tom nodded and said, "Even if we stay at the Jinrui Hotel, it's difficult to find someone because we're too young, I know. But... I have to do it, even if there's a one in ten thousand, one in a hundred thousand chance. Because she's my only relative in this world, and the most important thing is to protect her, which used to be my responsibility."

Shen Jiayi's eyes flickered with a hint of warmth before nodding contentedly, "The first long-distance mission of the Tianlong will begin soon, and the destination is the Jinrui Hotel."

Tom was overjoyed upon hearing this and said, "Really?"

"The Jinrui Hotel is very famous in Morikawa City, and many important figures from both domestic and foreign countries choose to stay at the Jinrui Hotel first. Before the Miniature Cataclysm, there were several experts in the field holding exchange meetings there. Our shelter needs talents, and we need to collect various talents as much as possible. Therefore, the Jinrui Hotel's survivor search plan was prepared early on. Now that the construction and experiment of the Tianlong ship have come to an end, it is time to start implementing this plan. So Tom, I need you to participate in this search operation as a consultant for the search team. Would you be willing to do so?"

"I am willing!" Tom answered decisively.

Shen Jiayi nodded and said, "As long as it doesn't hinder the search operation, I allow you to have the right to act independently. Do you understand what I mean?"

It seems that Mr. Shen treated him quite well. This independent action power clearly gave Tom more freedom. Once he arrived at the Jinrui Hotel, if he had any clues about his sister, he could search and rescue him on his own.

Since Shen Jiayi showed such great sincerity, Tom seemed too much to say anything, so he naturally agreed immediately.

Subsequently, Shen Jiayi stated that he could contact the person in charge of the exploration operation of Jinrui Hotel, No. 3, for relevant information and plans. At the same time, he also asked him to go to the R&D department to find Bai Sifei. He led the renovation plan for the male ant armor, aiming to provide the best protection for this task.

On the third, it can be considered as having a night of friendship with Tom. He volunteered to wait for the second evacuation, but the Jingwei couldn't arrive before the shelter closed, so they had to go to the rooftop of a residential building to wait. Although he eventually boarded the Jingwei, he was attacked by a mutated cat, causing the Jingwei to crash.

Tom and his companions fell to the ground with the Jingwei spacecraft, and luckily, No. 3 and the randomly arrived No. 2 were thrown onto the exterior wall of a building. Eventually, they waited for the arrival of the second Jingwei spacecraft and successfully evacuated back.

At that time, on the rooftop, No.3 admired Tom for pouring alcohol on him and rushing up to attract the ant colony without hesitation. Meeting Tom again at this moment was very enthusiastic.

Due to the matter with Song Ren, Shen Jiayi believed that the management of the shelter needed more channels for supervision, so she naturally assigned some personnel from the special investigation department to participate in various departments.

Number 3 is responsible for managing the dispatch of external tasks, and this Jinrui Hotel operation is a key task, which naturally falls under his direct responsibility.

He briefly explained to Tom the preliminary preparations for some tasks, and gave him a USB flash drive with more specific details, including route information, information on the characteristics of various mutated organisms discovered in the current shelter exploration, preliminary exploration intelligence for the subway, as well as the floor plan of the Jinrui Hotel, and the recently announced list of celebrities arriving in Morikawa City online.

Tom needs a lot of time to digest these things.

Later, he rushed to the R&D department and saw the handsome guy Bai Sifei wearing golden rimmed glasses there.

Tom felt that Bai Sifei's attitude towards him was not very good, but he did not make things difficult for him. After a few simple explanations, he threw Tom to one of his assistants, and he left with a bad face.

However, Tom doesn't care about it. It's impossible for people to get everyone's favor at the same time, as long as it doesn't interfere with themselves, that's all.

And Shen Jiayi actually gave him a position as the leader of a research group, allowing him to lead the improvement work of his male ant armor. And currently, most of the information in the Armor Department of the R&D department is also open to him, allowing him to have a comprehensive understanding of the technology of the Awakened Armor in the shelter.

It has to be said that Shen Jiayi values him very much, and Tom is fortunate that he was only valued after going through the mutated Yuanbaoji incident.

If he had just entered the shelter, Shen Jiayi would have given him so much trust, probably no one would have convinced him, making him more constrained in his actions.

But when the video of him fighting the mutant chicken with the male ants spread in the R&D department that day, everyone inside knew that Tom, who provided the armor blueprint for the shelter, had real talent. Otherwise, how could we create such a large armor using level five crystals with limited resources?
