Chapter 166 Quiet Death (1)

"Okay, that's it for today's training."

Within the core of the cornerstone, Shen Lang panted and squatted down. He could hardly exert any strength due to the excessive exertion in his body.

While waiting for the visa this week, Chen Yang took the time to train Shen Lang deeply, intimately, and inhumanely.

Including further improvement of fighting ability and firearms training.

During this period, Chen Yang casually "accidentally killed" Shen Lang twelve times and seriously injured him fifty-three times, paying Shen Lang back for all the suffering he had suffered in the past.

This result resulted in serious sequelae.

Because the torture of Shen Lang was too cruel and unethical, when Shen Lang saw Chen Yang making a fighting posture, he broke out in cold sweat and became weak, unable to exert any strength.

Thinking that the future was long, Chen Yang slowed down the tutorials to let Shen Lang calm down.

After exiting the Cornerstone Core, Chen Yang drank a cup of tea and then immersed himself in continuing his robot research work.

So far, he has achieved three research results.

The first one is the TC-100 UAV, which is almost mature. As long as it is mass-produced in the future, it will be an extremely sharp weapon and equipment.

The second achievement is a small mechanical spider, which is limited by battery power and can only work for ten minutes.

The last item is an experimental humanoid robot, which may not be comparable to humans in terms of flexibility of movement, but its speed and endurance are far beyond the limits of humans.

"It's still a little bit... It's still a little bit..."

Muttering to himself, Chen Yang sighed and rubbed his temples.

This kind of work is obviously of a long-term nature, and it is obviously impossible to complete it in a short time.

Chen Yang understood this himself, so he just sighed. He didn't lose his patience because of this.

Just as he calmed down and continued to work with his head down, the night in Donghai City in the distance became darker and darker.

One fifteen in the morning, Donghai Metro Line 11.

Two maintenance personnel held flashlights and walked in the deep tunnel. Start a routine of daily check-ins.

The operation and maintenance work of the subway is very busy. Every night at 12 o'clock, when the subway stops operating, the maintenance personnel will seize the time for five hours. While others are sleeping, they are in the quiet tunnel, step by step, repairing the track. Check with surrounding facilities.

This happens every day, and I don’t relax even for a day.

Today is just like every other day, Zhang Yue and his colleague Zheng Fei. Carrying the maintenance equipment, we walked deeper into the tunnel while chatting.

"Lao Zhang, in how many days will your daughter be one month old?"

Zheng Fei coughed a few times and asked with a smile.

"Well, yes, it will be a full moon in a few days."

Talking about his daughter, Zhang Yue smiled all over his face.

"I'm talking about you, you are thirty-five years old. Don't you want to change your job? The job now is hard and tiring, and the salary is not high. How much time do you have to spend with your wife and children? What's more, the price level in the East China Sea is so high now, you always Isn’t it possible to rent a house for the rest of your life?”

Zheng Fei said while coughing.

"Change a job? It's not that easy..."

Zhang Yue shook his head: "You tell me, why don't you change your job?"

"I want to change too, but how can I change if it doesn't matter?"

Zheng Fei said: "I'm not like you, who has a relationship but doesn't use it... People can't be too honest. You still have to be flexible. If I don't tell you, Lao Zhang, we are all relatives, so what if you go and beg? I can give you some gifts to ease the relationship, but can I still be so stone-hearted that I won’t help you?”

"If you don't think too much about yourself, you should also think more about your sister-in-law and children, right?"

The words were extremely sincere. Zhang Yue felt a little relieved when he said that.

"Then I'll... give it a try another day."

"That's right, that's it."

Seeing Zhang Yue suddenly enlightened, Zheng Fei was also very happy.

After all, he is his old friend, so he can help him.

"Ding dong..."

A sudden voice startled the two of them.

"What is it?"

The light of the flashlight shone through, and other than the tracks, no other weird things were found.

"Strange? There was indeed a sound coming from there just now?"

The two looked at each other and walked forward.

The light glanced around, but the two of them didn't notice anything strange.

This is not because they are making a fuss, but because subway maintenance is of great importance and cannot be sloppy at all. Being cautious is the basic rule of their profession.

Therefore, they heard strange sounds but found nothing, and they were still a little confused.

"It should be fine..."

Zheng Fei observed for a moment with a flashlight, shook his head and said.

"Probably a rat."

After much deliberation, he could only come to this conclusion. Zhang Yue pointed his flashlight ahead: "Okay, let's keep walking."

Thinking it was a mouse, the two of them put aside their doubts and were about to move forward when the sound of "ding dong" came from behind again.

The two men turned back sharply, and at the same time, the flashlights in their hands quickly shone over.

Still nothing found, everything is normal!

"I said Lao Zhang...have there been more rats recently?"

Zheng Fei asked puzzledly.

"Uh... mice are not so courageous?"

Generally speaking, there must be rats in underground tunnels, but when maintenance personnel are working, it is rare to see rats circling around people all the time, making a lot of noise.

What made the two of them feel uncomfortable was that these mice were not only very courageous, but also very fast. The two of them didn't even see the shadow of the mice.

In any case, no sign of the mouse was found, so the two turned around and walked forward.

After walking through this tunnel and entering the platform in front, another group will take over and they can take a rest.

"Ding dong..."

"Wow."

Zheng Fei turned around faster this time and shined the flashlight in the direction of the source of the sound.

Nothing!

"Lao Zhang...I feel something is wrong."

Swallowing his saliva, for the first time in so many years of work, Zheng Fei felt a little fuzzy in his heart.

"Don't talk nonsense. There's nothing wrong. It's just a mouse."

Under such circumstances, Zhang Yue could only say this to ease the uneasy and nervous mood in the air.

"Not a rat!"

Shaking his head slightly, Zheng Fei took a deep breath: "That sound was not caused by mice."

"What do you mean?"

"Wait a minute...Old Zhang, look there, is there anyone there?"

Zheng Fei interrupted Zhang Yue's question and pointed his flashlight forward to ask.

Beyond the flashlight's irradiation limit, there seemed to be a dark shadow flickering.

"Is it someone from another group?"

Zhang Yue shouted softly: "Is it Brother Song?"

It was quiet deep in the tunnel, and no one answered Zhang Yue's question.

"Let's go over and have a look."

I was a little suspicious that a drunk maniac came here. Zhang Yue greeted him and hurriedly ran away.

"Hey, can't you run so fast?"

Zheng Fei hurriedly followed Zhang Yue, panting heavily.

He has some asthma problems and always feels short of breath when running.

"Hey, the person is missing?"

Mingming saw someone flashing before, but when Zhang Yue and Zheng Fei ran over, they didn't find anyone.

"I said...Old Zhang, could someone be joking with us?"

"Who would make such a joke?"

Zhang Yue asked rhetorically.

"Then what do you think is going on? It's impossible for the two of us to be dazzled together tonight?"

"boom."

Just after Zheng Fei said what he said, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground suddenly came from behind the two of them, making Zhang Yue and Zheng Fei turn around suddenly in shock.

This sight really surprised the two of them.

A man with his head lowered and wearing a dirty black suit was standing about ten meters away from them.

"Excuse me, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Yue wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Zheng Fei with his left hand.

Turning his head, he saw Zheng Fei shaking his head lightly, telling him not to worry.

"Sir, are you feeling a little uncomfortable?"

During the two interviews, the other person kept his head lowered and stayed there motionless, as if he were a dead person.

A dead person will naturally not stand still, so the other party must be a living person.

Zheng Fei took out the radio on his waist and motioned Zhang Yue to contact the front desk.

"Oh My God……"

Zhang Yue did not see Zheng Fei's signal. Instead, he stared at the person opposite him with a look of extreme horror on his face. (To be continued...)
