Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 217 Atmosphere (Part )
The captain in charge of patrol here is actually driving a third-generation mecha. He is really rich.

"Whoo~"

Su Ming exhaled lightly, adjusted his mindset, and walked towards Building No. 7 of Xiguang Laboratory according to the simple map on the invitation letter.

The entire S area belongs to Xiguang Laboratory, and Xiguang Laboratory is not just the buildings on the surface. Its core buildings are all below. However, the test area of ​​the biological mecha is placed in Building No. 7 on the surface.

Along the way, Su Ming saw many well-equipped guards. There was a guard post almost every ten steps, and there were no blind spots. The security level was even higher than that of the City Lord's Mansion in Starlight City.

Moreover, the guards here were very dedicated. Whenever I appeared in their field of vision, they would turn their heads and look at me immediately. At the same time, they would use exoskeleton devices to identify me, and even if they confirmed that there was no problem, they would still keep their eyes on me.

This made Su Ming very uncomfortable, but fortunately it didn't take long before he arrived at Building 7.

The entire Building No. 7 is disc-shaped and has a height of fifty meters, but it has only three floors.

Su Ming quickly passed through the security gate and entered the building smoothly, and came to the lobby of Building 7.

The entire hall is very spacious, almost 20,000 square meters. The floor and walls are made of silver metal, giving people a very cold feeling.

At this time, researchers wearing white coats and holding various documents in their hands hurried by.

Su Ming looked around, walked to the guidance desk in front, and asked a young man.

"Hello, which way do I go for the biological test?"

"Sir, go forward and turn left into Waiting Hall No. 1."

The young man pointed out the approximate location.

"Thank you!"

Su Ming then walked towards Waiting Room No. 1.

A few minutes later, Su Ming successfully entered Waiting Room No. 1. He looked at the scene in front of him and his body suddenly stiffened.

"Uh?"

Waiting Hall No. 1 is made of silver metal. It is not very big and has two rows of metal chairs facing each other.

Nineteen officers sat in these two rows of metal chairs. Each officer looked very serious, and although some officers were talking in low voices, they still sat upright, with their upper bodies not moving much, only their mouths moving.

The whole hall gave Su Ming a solemn feeling, and an invisible pressure came towards him.

He took a closer look at these officers. Among these 19 officers, the weakest ones were captains, five were majors, and one was a lieutenant colonel.

Su Ming was also a little surprised. He actually knew this lieutenant colonel. His name was Xiu En, and he belonged to the Second Legion of the Federation, Canguang. He was quite famous. He had seen a post about him on the Star Forum.

I saw that he had thick eyebrows, sharp eyes, dark skin, muscles full of explosive power, a strong aura, and sat upright.

At this time, Xiu En and others also noticed that someone came in, and they all glanced at Su Ming.

"Who is this person? He looks very unfamiliar, and he's so young to be here? Xiuen, do you know him?"

A man wearing a major's uniform and with a scar running across half of his face spoke to Xiuen in a low voice.

Xiu En glanced at Su Ming and replied to Major Chen Ying expressionlessly.

"do not know."

Although the officers sitting here belong to different legions, they have basically all been seen or heard of.

At this time, a female officer in her thirties with short hair and wearing a captain's uniform sitting next to Chen Ying spoke seriously.

"His name is Su Ming. He is not an officer, but a first-year student at the Imperial Court Academy!"

"First grade? A first grade here?"

Chen Ying suddenly felt a little unbelievable.

"Yes, but sir, don't underestimate him just because he's young. He won second prize in the three-school league not long ago. Even Lieutenant Colonel Bergfens only won third prize."

The female officer said seriously.

When Xiu En and Chen Ying heard this, the way they looked at Su Ming suddenly became a little different, without any contempt.

Su Ming felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by these officers. He took a deep breath, then walked towards the seats in the right row and sat down at the back.

As Su Ming took his seat, the entire waiting hall became even quieter.

About five minutes later, another figure walked in. Su Ming and the others looked over curiously, and saw a short man with small eyes, who looked very smart, and dressed in a captain's uniform, hurried in.

Chen Ying just took a look and turned back and said.

"Captain Xu Ze of the Fifth Azure Legion is quite capable, but not to be feared. In comparison, Su Ming is the most troublesome. After all, there are only three spots available."

"Ah."

Xiu En responded in a deep voice.

Xu Ze glanced at the waiting hall, then quickly walked over to sit next to Su Ming, and asked in a familiar manner.

"Brother, has it started yet?"

"I don't know. I've only been here a short time."

Su Ming shook his head slightly and replied.

"Oh, that's good. But these officers who came to take the test are better than each other. This time it's going to be difficult."

Xu Ze said with a bitter face.

"Do your best."

Su Ming's mentality is very good.

"Brother, you have a good attitude. My name is Xu Ze, and I am from the Fifth Army, the Blue Legion. What about you?"

"Su Ming."

"Su Ming, this name sounds familiar! I seem to have heard it somewhere before. Which legion are you from, brother?"

"I don't belong to any legion. I'm from the Imperial Court Academy."

"A senior student at Imperial Court Academy?"

Xu Ze asked with awe.

"No, I'm a first grader."

Su Ming shook his head and answered truthfully.

After listening to Su Ming's words, Xu Ze's expression was very interesting and he said in disbelief.

"Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're a first-year student! Do you know how to operate a mecha? Why are you running here?"

"well enough."

Su Ming replied with a little embarrassment.

Xu Ze also realized at this time that what he said was a bit unpleasant, and quickly tried to make amends.

"Don't mind me, I'm just asking."

"Ah."

Su Ming didn't take it to heart.

At this time, a pretty woman with a ponytail and wearing a white research coat came over with a list.

Suddenly, the entire waiting hall fell silent. Everyone stopped talking and looked at the woman with serious expressions.

The woman said to everyone present.

"Introduce myself, I'm Dr. Lin Jie. This time I'll be responsible for guiding you to the testing area for the test. I'll start calling the names now. Those whose names are called, follow me. Those whose names are not called, please wait here."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

"Melman, Bress"

Dr. Lin Jie called out ten names in one breath, and the officers who were called stood up and responded.

She left with ten people.
