216: Chapter 216 Atmosphere (Second Update) 216: Chapter 216 Atmosphere (Second Update) The captain in charge of patrolling was driving a Third Generation cha, which was really quite impressive.
“Phew~”
Su Ming let out a breath, adjusted his mindset, and, according to the simple map on the invitation letter, headed towards the Xi Guang Experintal Building No.
7.
The entire Section S belonged to the Xi Guang Laboratory, and the Xi Guang Laboratory’s buildings weren’t just on the surface.
The core buildings were beneath.
However, the biological cha testing area was located in the Building No.
7 on the surface.
Along the way, Su Ming saw many well-equipped guards.
There was a post every ten steps, with no blind spots whatsoever—the security level was even higher than that of the City Lord Mansion in Starlight City.
Moreover, the guards were very ticulous.
As soon as Su Ming appeared in their field of vision, they would imdiately turn their heads to look at him.
They also used exoskeleton devices to identify his credentials, and even after confirming that there was no issue, their gazes continued to follow him.
This made Su Ming very uncomfortable, but fortunately, it didn’t take long to arrive at Building No.
7.
Building No.
7 was disc-shaped, with an impressive fifty-ter height, but it had very few floors—only three in total.
Su Ming quickly passed through the security checkpoint and successfully entered the building, arriving in the lobby of Building No.
7.
The entire lobby was very spacious, about twenty thousand square ters, with floors and walls made of silver tal, which gave off a very cold feeling.
At that mont, researchers wearing white lab coats and carrying various docunts hurried past.
Su Ming looked around and walked towards the information desk in front, where he asked a young man,
“Hello, where should I go for the biological testing?”
“Sir, please go straight ahead and turn left to Waiting Room No.
1.”
The young man stretched out his hand and pointed in the approximate direction.
“Thank you!”
Su Ming imdiately headed towards Waiting Room No.
1.
A few minutes later, Su Ming smoothly entered Waiting Room No.
1, and as he took in the scene before him, his body stiffened.
“Uh?”
The Waiting Room No.
1, made of silver tal, was not very large; there were two rows of tal chairs facing each other.
On these two rows of tal chairs sat nineteen military officers, all in a dignified and formal posture.
Although so of them were whispering to each other, they still sat up straight, their upper bodies barely moving, only their mouths doing the talking.
The entire hall gave Su Ming a sense of solemnity, with an invisible pressure rushing towards him.
He looked closely at the officers, and among these nineteen, the lowest rank was Captain, including five majors and one lieutenant colonel.
Su Ming was also slightly surprised; he recognized the lieutenant colonel, nad Shu’en, who belonged to the Federation Second Corps·Residual Light, a rather well-known figure.
Su Ming had seen posts about him on the Star Cluster Forum before.
Shu’en had thick eyebrows and piercing eyes, a tanned skin, and his muscular body radiated explosive power and a commanding presence as he sat with an upright posture.
At that mont, Shu’en and the others also noticed soone had co in, and their gaze shifted towards Su Ming.
“Who is this person?
He looks very unfamiliar and so young to be here.
Shu’en, do you know him?”
A man in a major’s uniform with a scar across half of his face spoke softly to Shu’en.
Shu’en glanced at Su Ming, expressionless, and replied to Major Chen Ying,
“I don’t know him.”
Although these officers were from different corps, they had generally seen or heard of one another.
At this point, a woman officer who was more than thirty years old, in a Captain’s uniform with short hair, said seriously,
“His na is Su Ming.
He’s not an officer, but rather a first-year student at the Imperial Court Academy.”
“A first-year?
What’s a first-year student doing here?”
Chen Ying was quite incredulous.
“Indeed, but don’t underestimate him because he’s young.
He just recently won a second-place prize in a tri-school competition, surpassing Colonel Begfin who only secured third place.”
The woman officer stated earnestly.
Upon hearing this, both Shu’en and Chen Ying’s gaze towards Su Ming changed imdiately, void of any previous condescension.
Feeling rather uneasy under the scrutiny of these military officers, Su Ming took a deep breath and walked towards a seat in the right row, heading straight to the back to sit down.
With Su Ming’s arrival, the entire waiting hall beca even quieter.
About five minutes later, another figure walked in.
Out of curiosity, Su Ming and the others glanced over and saw a man who was not tall with small eyes that appeared to be very shrewd, hurriedly walking in wearing a captain’s military uniform.
Chen Ying took one look and turned his head to say,
“Captain Xu Ze of the Fifth Blue Army, his strength is not bad, but not frightening.
Compared to him, that Su Ming is the real trouble, after all, there are only three spots.”
“Mm.”
Shu’en responded in a deep voice.
Xu Ze glanced around the waiting hall and quickly sat down beside Su Ming, trying to make conversation in a familiar manner,
“Brother, has it started yet?”
“I don’t know, I just got here myself.”
Su Ming replied with a slight shake of his head.
“Oh, that’s good.
But the officers who ca for the test, one is more outstanding than the next, this ti it’s going to be tough.”
Xu Ze spoke with a grimace on his face.
“Just do your best.”
Su Ming’s mindset was quite positive.
“Brother, you’ve got a good attitude.
I’m called Xu Ze, affiliated with the Fifth Army·Blue Corps, and you?”
“Su Ming.”
“Su Ming, that na sounds familiar!
Seems like I’ve heard it sowhere.
Which corps are you with?”
“I’m not part of any corps, I’m from the Imperial Court Academy.”
“Imperial Court Academy senior student?”
Xu Ze asked with a newfound respect.
“No, a freshman.”
Su Ming shook his head and answered truthfully.
Xu Ze had a look of sheer incredulity after hearing Su Ming’s reply,
“Brother, no offense, but as a freshman?
Do you even know how to pilot a cha?
What are you doing here?”
“I guess I’m okay.”
Su Ming replied with a hint of embarrassnt.
At this point, Xu Ze also realized that his words might have sounded a bit harsh and quickly tried to smooth things over,
“Don’t mind .
I was just asking.”
“Mm.”
Su Ming didn’t take it to heart.
At this mont, a girl with a ponytail, wearing a white lab coat, and with a delicate appearance, holding a list, walked over.
Imdiately, the entire waiting hall fell silent; everyone ceased talking and looked towards the girl with serious expressions.
The girl addressed everyone present,
“Let introduce myself; I am Dr.
Lin Jie.
I will be responsible for guiding you to the testing area for the examination.
I will start calling out nas now, those whose nas I call co with , others whose nas are not called, wait here.”
“Yes!”
Everyone replied in unison.
“lman, Brice…”
Dr.
Lin Jie directly called out ten nas in one breath, and the officers whose nas were called stood up one after another to acknowledge.
She then led the ten people away.
