The wasteland is reborn and the countryside is at hand

"Crack!" The relatively strong glass shattered.

"It's very powerful!" the people watching the excitement said jokingly.

Li Yi couldn't care less, so she skillfully took out the fire ax from the cabinet.

There were exclamations all around, and people subconsciously stayed away from the woman holding a sharp knife.

"Didn't you hear the alarm sounding? Why don't you hide? There's danger outside!" Li Yi couldn't help but remind him before leaving.

Although she is not kind enough and does not want to save others, it is still okay to remind people a little.

"Maybe it's another drill~" someone responded lazily. They didn't take Li Yi's words to heart at all.

"Little girl, you have to pay for this fire cabinet!" the cleaning lady shouted from behind Li Yi.

"Is this woman sick? Is this the first time she heard the alarm sound? What a fuss!" someone cursed in confusion.

During various exercises, the government will also sound air defense sirens.

But before each exercise, the government will issue announcements on major platforms.

People rarely pay attention to these messages and only hear about them occasionally.

But in their minds, they already have the mindset that "once the air defense siren sounds, it's a drill."

So no one listened to Li Yi's advice. They all regarded Li Yi as a psycho, neurotic, or even persecutory delusion.

Of course, there are also a few people who quietly return to their own offices.

After all, the air raid sirens did go off, so it was always a good idea to err on the side of caution.

But Li Yi's behavior of breaking the fire cabinet and taking out the fire ax was still too outrageous in their opinion.

Li Yi said it was dangerous outside, but this office building was not safe either.

Because most people here work together, they can only go back to their respective office areas. There are at least a dozen people in each office area.

Li Yi's department is okay because they are all researchers and they usually do some experiments.

Moreover, some important topics will be handed over to a certain researcher alone, and the contents of these experiments will be kept confidential.

So the company provided each researcher with his own laboratory.

The laboratory is also relatively safe, with two reinforced solid walls, one explosion-proof glass door, and one explosion-proof glass window. The laboratory has good ventilation.

These experiments are all related to biological genes, bacterial medicine, etc. Unless there is infection, there is little risk.

The company will be equipped with some commonly used experimental equipment in each laboratory.

Of course, there are also some uncommon and very expensive precision instruments, and researchers must apply for them based on their experimental needs.

The laboratory is a very independent space, and the walls, doors and windows are made of much better materials than ordinary offices. In the event of a riot, the laboratory also has strong defense capabilities.

Li Yi is grateful that her status as a researcher gives her the opportunity to take a breather in such a sturdy laboratory during a virus outbreak.

At this time, most of the colleagues in the office area were facing the window because they were attracted by the sound of the alarm outside. They wanted to understand why the city's alarm was sounded.

Li Yi walked through the corridor holding a fire ax, taking off his coat as he walked, and wrapped his coat around the fire ax to cover the ax.

She didn't want to attract too much attention from others, because such attention would be fatal after the disaster broke out.

Li Yi glanced at his colleagues who didn't know that the disaster was coming.

I remembered those looks that were neither salty nor mild, even mocking, when I was slandered by Zhang Hongwei.

Colleagues who seemed kind in normal times, but after Li Yi and Zhang Hongwei had a falling out, many of them were made worse.

After all, the competition is very fierce when working in the "Huaxing Biotechnology Company", which is developing rapidly and gathering talents.

The salary is indeed very good, but employees who have no research results for a long time and are not as good as others will be eliminated directly.

If Li Yi's research on "genetic code" hadn't attracted the attention of the company's top management, she would have been unable to stay in the company long ago due to Zhang Hongwei's push.

Thinking of the faces of these colleagues before, Li Yi's heart, which had been a little intolerable, became cold again.

She couldn't stop the spread of the virus, so why bother adding to it.

During the four years of the apocalypse she had experienced, she had seen the ugliest side of human nature.

How could he put himself in danger again because of others?

"Stay out of trouble", this is the "life-saving rule" she learned in the first year of the apocalypse.

The researchers' laboratories were all to the east of the office area. Li Yi quickly walked through the office area and walked towards his laboratory.

The siren outside the window was still blaring.

As time went by, people gradually became a little nervous about the sirens, initially ignoring them.

But after the alarm continued for more than ten minutes, nothing happened.

This made everyone seem a little impatient. The sound of the alarm was harsh and made people panic.

"Xiao Xu, what's going on? Are you practicing somewhere else?" A arrogant voice sounded in the noisy room.

Inside the office area, the door of a single office was opened, and Zhang Hongwei's bloated body was halfway out of the door.

Before Zhang Hongwei finished speaking, a middle-aged man with fair skin and a decent appearance immediately trotted up to Zhang Hongwei's side.

"Director Zhang, we didn't receive any notification about the drill. We're not sure why yet."

Xu Zichao nodded and reported to Zhang Hongwei.

Although Xu Zichao is 180cm tall, he looks extremely humble in front of Director Zhang who is less than 175cm.

He was like a eunuch, hunched slightly, trying to keep his posture as low as possible in front of Zhang Hongwei.

It is common for people in the research department to see Xu Zichao's "submissive" attitude.

But the eyes of everyone looking at him still inevitably showed contempt.

However, some people's disdain is mixed with a trace of envy.

After all, Xu Zichao is now a celebrity around Zhang Hongwei. The early application process for his research project was easier than that of others.

Because Zhang Hongwei enjoyed Xu Zichao's respectful attitude toward him.

Xu Zichao's respect will make Zhang Hongwei feel superior.

This feeling made him feel very satisfied and happy!

"Everyone, be quiet! Keep working! The company pays you wages, so you are not here to watch the excitement!" Zhang Hongwei frowned, faced everyone in the research department, and rebuked loudly.

Seeing everyone return to their office area, Zhang Hongwei slowly looked at Xu Zichao.

His expression softened a little, and he nodded towards Xu Zichao, indicating that he had heard Xu Zichao's report clearly.

Xu Zichao is his "favorite general", and it is also good for Zhang Hongwei to firmly win over the people's hearts that have tilted towards him.
