Although Long Yuehong has experienced similar scenes again and again since she can remember, human beings' fear of the dark and the unknown will never disappear.
As the flashlight swept by, Long Yuehong thought of what Shang Jianyao had said:
When walking alone at night, if you are afraid, sing to yourself!
After all, he had lived on the floor he was on for twenty-three years, even excluding his childhood with no memory remaining, he had been familiar with the corresponding environment for nearly twenty years, and he would not take the wrong path with his eyes closed.
In such a situation, the fear will not be too serious and can be completely overcome.
But now, located on the unfamiliar 622nd floor, the darkness always re-rules the corresponding area after the light of his flashlight moves away, making him feel furry involuntarily.
How terrifying can it be compared to the nights in the ruins of those cities? Long Yuehong muttered to himself silently, his courage seemed to come back.
He took bigger steps and his cadence became faster.
As for the method of singing to strengthen courage, he did not adopt it in the end.
In such a quiet night, isn't this disturbing people's dreams?
Thanks to the similarity in the layout of the living floors, the layout of the sewage pipes needs to be taken into account, and Long Yuehong did not go to the toilet on this floor before turning off the lights, so he arrived at his destination without spending too much time.
This is a public toilet located at the junction of Areas B and C.
In the men's toilet, the dim light swayed in the gloomy and cold night wind, which made Long Yuehong suddenly think of the ghost movies in the old world entertainment materials.
With his 20 years of rich experience, he judged that someone was squatting in the toilet with a flashlight on.
I don't know about energy saving rationing! Long Yuehong, who is a D7-level employee, still maintains a frugal spirit in this regard.
The energy rationing share within "Pangu Biotech" is only determined according to rank and position, and you can't buy it even if you want to spend your contribution points!
Of course, this is only at the public level, and in private, someone will let you go to his house to use electricity if you can afford it.
Long Yuehong withdrew her gaze, walked to a urinal, and solved her problem.
In order not to spill out, he also didn't turn off the flashlight and stuck it on the back of his hand.
On the back of the hand of the T1 robotic arm.
After shaking and pulling the zipper, Long Yuehong subconsciously looked at the place where the dim yellow light was shaking,
Suddenly, his eyes straightened slightly.
He saw a faint smoke permeating the dim yellow, sometimes expanding, sometimes rolling, as if it had its own vitality.
While Long Yuehong's brows furrowed slightly, she vaguely heard a suppressed moan.
This moan seemed to be non-existent, as if restraining some kind of pain.
After brushing the floor, Long Yuehong's mind became extremely clear.
His first reaction was to quit the public toilet and make a long-term plan, but then he thought that this was within the company, and if something really went wrong, everyone would be affected, and he would have no way to retreat.
Let's check what the situation is first, if it's not right, hurry to the order supervision room and report it...... Long Yuehong quickly made a decision, turned off her flashlight, and walked to the compartment step by step.
The closer he get, the more obvious the smoke becomes, and the moans of pain in him become clearer.
Seeing that the target was in sight, Long Yuehong made a leap and jumped over.
In the next second, he and the man squatting in the compartment kicked their big eyes.
After a short period of solidification, the man was anxious and angry:
"What are you looking at?"
Long Yuehong's mouth moved for a while and said:
"Why don't you close the door?"
The man held a cigarette in one hand and the door with the other, and laughed angrily:
"It's the middle of the night, and there is no one there, what's wrong with me opening the door to ventilate?"
Long Yuehong calmed down:
"Where did you get the cigarettes?"
Inside "Pangu Bio", except for most of the older generation who have passed away and a few people who have been brought out of the habit, the other employees do not smoke, so Long Yuehong didn't think about this at all just now.
This thing is a luxury in a sense.
If it weren't for the fact that his stomach hadn't been cleaned and his buttocks hadn't been wiped, the man squatting there would have wanted to jump up and beat Long Yuehong.
He said angrily:
"When I was on field duty, I got it in a settlement in the Kuronuma Wilderness!
"What's wrong? I am a new employee, and it is normal to have a smoking addiction!"
His eyes swept away, and his pupils suddenly dilated, reflecting Long Yuehong's iron-black arms.
Only then did Long Yuehong see the other party's appearance clearly: dark skin, yellow teeth, pitted face, obvious bloodshot in the eyes, at first glance it was a foreign employee who had not been genetically modified, and his appearance could only be said to be neither ugly nor scary.
Embarrassing is embarrassing, Long Yuehong still asked further:
"Then why did you just now, why were you moaning?"
"Can't you be constipated, big brother?" The man's attitude became quite good.
Long Yuehong laughed dryly:
"I just came back from field work, and I was still in a tight spirit, and I was a little overreacting, I'm sorry."
"Understand, understand." The man looked very talkative.
He paused and said:
"Yes, don't you stand in front of me like this? Uh, no, can I close the door?"
"Yes, yes." Long Yuehong was very grateful that the light was dim at this time and could not reflect her face.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the compartment turned around and closed.
The man inside was silent for a few seconds and said:
"Which action brigade are you, where did you get the robotic arm?"
"I am from a special operations team." Based on the principle of confidentiality, Long Yuehong could only give a rough answer.
He asked curiously:
"What do you care about the robotic arm?"
The man in the compartment sighed and said:
"I am an external employee, I am not qualified to do genetic improvement, and I often have to go to the surface to do tasks.
Long Yuehong thought for a while and said sincerely:
"It's very expensive."
"Hey......" The man in the compartment sighed again.
Long Yuehong didn't tell him that he could get a biological prosthetic transplant for free if he lost his arm during the mission, but there was no room for choice, and it was impossible to get those with good abilities, because losing his arm would inevitably bleed severely, and the probability of not being able to be rescued was actually not low, especially when he was on the surface and had no time to heal.
He turned around and walked outside the public toilet.
With such a comparison, he suddenly felt that his current condition was quite good.
It would be better if there were no more missions...... Long Yuehong thought while casually shining a flashlight on the surroundings.
He saw many graffiti painted with chalk on the walls, some deep, some childish, and some exaggerated, each with its own characteristics.
This is exactly the same as the scene in many places on the 495th floor.
The same is true for other residential floors.
For some reason, Long Yuehong was inexplicably happy.
This is a sign that foreign employees are beginning to integrate into the company, and it is also a symbol of the birth of offspring between them.
Thinking of this, his pace of returning to room 59 in Area B accelerated a lot.
After walking three or four steps, Long Yuehong stopped and turned her ear sideways.
He seemed to have heard the voice just now.
After listening carefully for a while, he gained nothing but snoring.
"Sure enough, I still haven't completely relaxed......" Long Yuehong shook his head self-deprecatingly and walked to No. 59 in Area B.
…………
The next morning, 647th floor, room 14.
Long Yuehong and Bai Chen walked in hand in hand and found that Shang Jianyao was the only one in the office.
He was very arrogant, pushing the chair back to the limit and resting his feet on the table.
"Where's the team leader?" Long Yuehong let go of Bai Chen's hand and asked subconsciously.
Shang Jianyao responded with a bright smile:
"You guess."
Lost again? Long Yuehong wanted to answer like this, but suddenly the back of her neck felt cold and she woke up in fear.
If the team leader wanders in the corridor and she hears me talking bad about her behind my back, it will be a big trouble! Her hearing is different now! Long Yuehong glanced back suddenly, but didn't notice anyone passing by.
But out of the corner of his eye, he saw Bai Chen quietly withdrawing his hand, from the back of his neck.
Long Yuehong stared over and saw the slightly raised corners of his mouth on Bai Chen's serious expression.
He also smiled slightly.
"Whoa!" Shang Jianyao shouted.
Long Yuehong was a little embarrassed, and the phone in the office rang.
"Go pick it up." He hurriedly said to Shang Jianyao.
Shang Jianyao looked indifferent:
"She must be looking for Dabai, she is not there, and I don't know what reason to find her when I pick it up, so it's better not to answer."
"Yes." Long Yuehong thought for a while and felt that this was the truth.
Bai Chen did not object.
The bell rings for a while, and finally stops.
After another ten minutes, Jiang Baimian walked into the office.
She didn't give any explanation and greeted the team members with her usual expression.
Not long after Jiang Baimian sat down, the landline rang again, making a jingling sound.
She picked up the microphone, leaned into her ear, listened for a while, said "hmm" twice, then turned to Shang Jianyao and shouted loudly:
"Hey, looking for you!"
