Chapter 242: Channel opened

What John Woo said was: "We will charge a reasonable fee to wake them up."

The deployment of personnel from special affairs offices is much more complicated than that of ordinary units, but of course, the results are also much better.

Many problems that are difficult to solve conventionally will be assigned to special offices.

At the same time, this is also an important reason why special offices offer good treatment and benefits.

In order to cover these tasks, the personnel loss rate is too high.

Because of this, the people in the Special Affairs Office openly stick together and protect each other, and other units dare not interfere.

It's not just because of the various strange and bizarre skills of its members, but also for the large number of people who sacrificed their lives for the country and are buried underground in obscurity.

In various security agencies, even if there are disputes over positions and some individuals dislike each other, no one dares to slander the contributions of the Special Affairs Office when it comes to them.

Even someone as cold-hearted as Cui Yan could only use the phrase "doing weird research" to disparage the Special Affairs Office. He couldn't say anything more.

In his opinion, transferring Lin Fan to 800 was to give her a safer environment.

Otherwise, according to the Special Affairs Office's annual loss rate of 10%, Lin Fan would be in trouble sooner or later.

After all, no matter how powerful a mecha is, it still needs to go on a mission.

Moreover, the higher the position, the greater the responsibility. Lin Fan would never be allowed to have it as easy as he was at 800.

It's not easy to get money from the special agency...

Therefore, every time the Special Affairs Office goes out on a mission, it will charge a certain fee, more or less.

The specific amount of money is decided by the task leader.

You can charge according to actual consumption, or you can charge a piece of candy at will...

The fee can be collected from the rescuer, or collected from other individuals or organizations without letting the rescuer know...

In short, charging for missions is almost an established process. However, most of the time, it is for the purpose of warning or punishment, and they don't expect to actually get money to cover the costs of their missions.

Lin Fan didn't know these details, but Feng Chuang's words made her very unhappy, and she unconsciously spoke with a vicious tone.

At first glance, I thought the fine would bankrupt the person.

This inevitably made Lu Feng and the others, who were already feeling guilty, even more uneasy...

After Lin Fan finished scolding, he felt that what he said was a bit inappropriate.

Just as the two of them were silent, she stopped talking too and quickened her pace.

"I'm here." Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief after finally coming out of the corridor.

The spacious square made her perspective less cramped and she felt more at ease.

She walked to the center of the square, looked at the hole filled with soil above her head, and gently put the two people in her arms down.

Lu An had experience and knew that she must have something to do, so he cooperated and jumped a few steps to the side.

Feng Chuang didn't understand what was going on and didn't dare to say anything. He followed Lu An's example and moved a few steps forward and sat on the ground.

Lin Fan saw that the two of them had settled themselves without her having to ask anything, and nodded secretly.

I flew directly up there and took a closer look at the cave ceiling.

Maybe it was because they were in mid-air, but the soil on the top of the cave wasn't as tight as Lin Fan had imagined, so he could easily grab it with his hands.

Then again, with Xingchen's hardness and strength, no matter what she held, it would be like tofu...

"Should I just dig?" Lin Fan asked Xue Ping in advance. After getting a positive answer, he opened his hands and dug the soil in turns in the shape of claws.

The two people below relied on the cold light lamp on Feng Chuang's body and only saw the soil falling from above.

Fortunately, Lu An dodged it by jumping a few steps.

Feng Chuang was sitting on the ground, with his head and face hit all over him. He quickly crawled to Lu An's side.

Lin Fan was digging at the bottom, while Xue Ping and others were digging at the top.

In less than twenty minutes, when a shovel was inserted into the soil, it felt like it hit something hard. When it was lifted up, it saw that the tip of the shovel was bent.

Lin Fan's voice also rang out in Xue Ping's earphones: "Something just touched my hand."

"Surveying and mapping, report coordinates." Xue Pingxian asked the control console.

After confirming that their vertical coordinates were very close, he said to Lin Fan, "That should be our shovel. Lin Fan, you go down first."

Although the stars can float steadily in the air, it is not an easy task to keep looking up, holding both hands high, and digging at the falling soil above for such a long time.

As soon as Lin Fan landed, Lu An and Feng Chuang, who were sitting next to him, were startled.

The originally white mecha looked like it had been buried in the ground and had just been dug out. It was so dirty that it was unbearable to look at.

However, since they had been watching the soil falling for so long, this result was expected.

Lin Fan walked over to the two of them and moved his neck and shoulders vigorously.

After a series of "clicking" sounds, I finally felt alive again.

After a while, voices were heard from the top, and soon a searchlight was brought in.

"It's connected!" Lin Fan heard the sound in the earphones and outside at the same time.

Then a figure slid down the rope.

It’s Xue Ping.

He was wearing night vision goggles. After coming down, he ran to Lin Fan and looked Xingchen over carefully. "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Lin Fan shook his head. "Can we go up now?"

"We have to wait a little longer until they expand the passage a little bit," Xue Ping explained.

Because it is excavated at both ends, the channel is an X-shaped structure with large ends and a small middle.

Xue Ping was worried about Lin Fan being alone down there, so he curled up into a ball and squeezed down through the dirt. However, if he wanted to pull the injured ordinary people up smoothly, he needed to fix the passage again.

After learning that Lin Fan was fine, Xue Ping turned his attention to the two people sitting next to him.

"Just these two guys?" Xue Ping snorted maliciously and asked, "How much savings do you have?"

Lu An's first reaction was to think about the balance in his card. Feng Chuang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are you asking about the deposit?"

Seeing that both of them had their attention drawn to him, he shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, there's no need to think about it. Anyway, no matter how much more, it won't be enough to compensate."

Lin Fan smiled secretly.

This guy must be deceiving people.

Sure enough, Lu and Feng were frightened by this sentence.

Feng Chuang instinctively wanted to refute, but when he saw the silent mecha next to him, he finally shut his mouth.

After waiting a while, the passage was widened. It was about 60 centimeters in diameter, not big, but it was enough for one person to pass through.

"Okay, let's go." Xue Ping said when he saw another rope being lowered from above.

Seeing Lu An jumping forward, he glanced at his feet and stepped forward to support him.

Lu An was stunned for a moment, then looked at the mecha sister next to him.

"What? You want me to carry you like a princess too?" Xue Ping's smile was not kind at all.

They saw it on the screen. This guy was being carried all the way, and it looked so comfortable.

"No, no, no, thanks." Lu An refused repeatedly.

Being carried like a princess by a mecha sister is fine, but being carried like a princess by such a rough guy...

Thinking of that scene, Lu An felt a chill and felt that Xue Ping's hand that was supporting him was hot.

Lu An jumped very fast, as if something terrible was crushing him from behind.

Seeing this, Feng Chuang could only get up and limp away.

Lin Fan was no longer in a hurry at this time, and slowly moved behind.

Soon, the two were hoisted up one by one.

"What should I do if they see me?" Lin Fan asked when he saw the figure disappear.

"Don't worry, the psychologist will clean up the mess." Wu Yusen's voice came from the headset, but his face appeared at the entrance of the cave.

"Hey, you're here." Xue Ping seemed to have known about it and didn't greet him sincerely at all.

In addition to Jin Si, there are many other psychologists in the Special Affairs Office. Every time there is a large-scale group mission like this, one will be assigned to the team just in case.

Seeing that the matter was over, Lin Fan immediately released the star state.

As a result, all the dirt that originally covered the mecha fell on her, and a cloud of dust was raised, enveloping Xue Ping next to her.

The two covered their mouths and noses in time and avoided choking.

But after the smoke and dust settled, both of them couldn't help laughing when they saw each other getting dirty.

Laughter came from the passage, adding a bit of joy to the quiet night.

There are foreshadowings in these chapters. Have you found them all?
