Chapter 4 Familiar Night(1/2)
Although Long Yuehong has experienced similar scenes again and again since he had memory, human fear of darkness and unknown will never disappear. Unless there is a mental problem, no matter how bold a person walks alone in the quiet late-night corridor, he will inevitably feel a little scared in his heart.
When the flashlight was sweeping, Long Yuehong thought of Shang Jianyao once said:
When walking alone at night, if you are afraid, sing to yourself!
Before, he was disdainful of this. After all, he lived on the floor where he lived for twenty years. Even if he was young, he had been familiar with the corresponding environment for nearly twenty years. He would not go the wrong path even if he closed his eyes.
In this case, the fear will not be too serious and can be overcome.
But now, located on the strange 622nd floor, darkness always reigns over the corresponding area after the light of his flashlight is removed, making him feel involuntarily frizzy.
No matter how terrifying it is, it is more terrifying than the nights of those city ruins? Long Yuehong said silently, and his courage seemed to be back.
His pace became bigger and his pace became faster.
As for the method of singing to enhance courage, he did not use it in the end.
In such a quiet night, isn’t this disturbing dreams?
Thanks to the similar layout of the living floors, the layout of sewage pipes needs to be considered. Long Yuehong had not used 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 Areas C.
In the men's bathroom, the dim light shaking in the gloomy and cold night wind, and the darkness and lightness made Long Yuehong suddenly remember the ghost movies in the old world entertainment materials.
Such thoughts flashed away. With his 20 years of experience, he judged that someone was squatting in the toilet and swaying around.
I don’t know how to save energy rations! Long Yuehong, who is a D7-level employee, still maintains a frugal spirit in this regard.
The energy allocation share within "Pangu Biology" is determined only based on the rank and position. If you want to spend some contribution points, you can't buy it!
Of course, this is only on the public level. In private, if you can get the points, someone will ask you to use the home appliance.
Long Yuehong withdrew her gaze, walked to a urination, and solved her own problem.
In order not to spill it out, he also did not turn off the flashlight and stuck it on the back of his hand.
T1 type robot arm on the back of the hand.
After shaking and pulling the zipper, Long Yuehong subconsciously looked at the dim light shaking place.
Suddenly, his eyes were slightly straightened.
He saw a faint smoke spreading in the dim sky, sometimes expanding and sometimes rolling, as if it had its own vitality.
While Long Yuehong frowned slightly, she vaguely heard a depressed moan.
This moan seemed to be indifferent, as if restraining some kind of pain.
After browsing the floor, Long Yuehong's mind became extremely clear.
His first reaction was to withdraw from the public toilet. He had long-term plans, but then he thought that this was within the company. If something really happened, everyone would be affected and he would have no choice but to retreat.
First confirm what is going on. If it is wrong, hurry up and report to the order supervision office... Long Yuehong made a quick decision, turned off his flashlight, and walked towards the compartment step by step.
The closer he got, the more obvious the smoke became, and the moans containing some painful became clearer.
Seeing the goal in sight, Long Yuehong crossed and rushed over.
The next second, he and the man squatting in the compartment kicked their small eyes with big eyes.
After a brief solidification, the man was anxious and angry:
“What to see?”
Long Yuehong's mouth twitched for a while and said:
"Why don't you close the door?"
The man held a cigarette in one hand and held the door with the other, and laughed in anger:
"It's midnight and there are no one. What's wrong with me opening the door to vent the wind?"
Long Yuehong calmed down:
"Where did you get the cigarette?"
Within "Pangu Biology", except for the vast majority of the old generation who have passed away and a few people who have been brought out of habit, 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 my stomach hadn't been cleaned yet and my butt had not been wiped, the man squatting there would have wanted to jump up and beat Long Yuehong up.
He said angrily:
“I was on field trip and got it in exchange for a settlement in the Black Swamp Wilderness!
"What's wrong? I'm a new employee, so it's normal to have a smoking addiction!"
His eyes swept, and his pupils suddenly magnified, reflecting Long Yuehong's iron-black arm.
Only then did Long Yuehong see clearly what the other person looked like: her skin was dark, her teeth were yellow, her face was bumpy, and there was obvious blood in her eyes. She looked like an outsider who had not had genetic modification. She looked neither ugly nor scary.
No matter how embarrassed he was, Long Yuehong asked further:
"Then why did you moan just now?"
"Can't you be constipated, brother?" The man's attitude became quite good.
Long Yuehong laughed dryly:
"I just came back from the field and was still nervous and I was a little overreacting. I'm sorry."
"Understand." The man looked very good.
He paused and said:
"Yes, don't you stand in front of me like this? Uh, no, can I close the door?"
"Yes, okay." Long Yuehong was particularly grateful for the dim light at this time and could not reflect his face.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the compartment turned back and closed.
The man inside was silent for a few seconds and said:
"Which operation brigade did you get the robotic arm from where?"
"I am from a special operation team." Based on the principle of confidentiality, Long Yuehong could only answer roughly.
He asked curiously:
"What do you care about robotic arms do?"
The man in the compartment sighed:
"I am an outside employee and am not qualified to do genetic improvement. I often have to go to the surface to do tasks. In order to survive, I can transfer to the internal office. It is very cost-effective to use one arm to replace the robot arm."
Long Yuehong thought about it and said sincerely:
“It’s very expensive.”
"Oh..." The man in the compartment sighed again.
Long Yuehong did not tell him that he could do free biological prosthetic transplants if he lost his arm during the mission, but he had no room for selection and could not get those with good abilities, because losing his arm would inevitably cause severe bleeding, and the probability of not being rescued is actually not low, especially when he was on the surface and had no time to treat him.
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 you didn't do the task anymore... Long Yuehong thought, and used a flashlight to light the surroundings casually.
He saw many graffiti drawn in various colors of chalk on the walls, some were deep, some were childish, some were exaggerated, and their 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 manifestation of foreign employees beginning to integrate into the company and a symbol of the birth of descendants 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 of his speech just now.
After listening carefully for a while, he gained nothing but snoring.
"Sure enough, I still haven't completely relaxed..." Long Yuehong laughed at herself and shook her head, walking towards No. 59, Area B.
…………
The next morning, Room 14, Floor 647.
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 and pressed the chair back to the limit, putting his feet on the table.
"Where is the team leader?" Long Yuehong let go of Bai Chen's hand and asked subconsciously.
Shang Jianyao responded with a bright smile:
"you guess."
