Corridors day and night.

Dimly lit room.

Shen Lu screwed on the last water pipe that needed to be repaired, and got out from under the pool.He put the heavy wrench aside, took off his gloves, and turned on the tap—

The rushing water gradually became clear from a slightly bluish white color.

Shen Lu raised his head, smiled at himself in the mirror, then pulled out a dry towel from the toolbox and wiped the water droplets splashed on the mirror.

This is the last place he needs to fix.

Before that, Jucourt helped him carry the toolbox to the room that needs to be repaired, but today he has to go to several places to do completely different jobs. Of course, Jucourt can't wait for him all the time, so the subsequent repair tasks will be his It's done by one person.

He looked down at the terminal on his wrist, and it showed that it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, five hours had passed since he started working.

The job of a maintenance worker is like this. When you are free, you are so boring that you count sheep. When you are busy, you can hardly even take care of three meals. Occasionally, you need to work overtime.

Shen Lu's work is not heavy anymore, after all he has a good brother Wu Xiao who has just been promoted...Of course Wu Xiao took special care of him.

Come to the military dormitory to repair things, the difficulty is not high, and the risk factor is not high.Compared with those colleagues who are still repairing the passages in the main city and the two wings of the city all night, Shen Lu is already living a carefree life... He also happens to know the commander of the military department, Joe Court, and will not be caught by others. Casually bully...

Of course, he doesn't plan to stay in the base all his life and be an ordinary maintenance worker.He will be an adult next year, and he can sign up for the advanced mechanical courses at the base. After he completes his studies, he can take part in the assessment of the military department, become the exclusive repairer of the military department, repair sea shuttles, submarines, etc., and have the opportunity to leave The base, the outpost on the sea...

Although there is only one outpost left in the base, the crisis also represents an opportunity.After the base has survived this period, the major outpost ports will definitely be restarted, and they will need a large number of people with the spirit of exploration.

Shen Lu felt that he was very suitable.

He stood on tiptoe, straightened his neckline in front of the mirror, and then a vigorous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

- very good, perfect.

The boy leaned over slightly, lifted the box beside him, and closed the door. With a snap, the lights in the room behind him dimmed.

He was walking in the aisle, the light above his head was so bright that it was even a bit dazzling.He walked straight, messy shadows lingering at his feet.

Shen Lu walked out of the dormitory area of ​​the military headquarters, passed through an empty inspection door, and took the elevator again.

He was going to the storage room and returned the toolbox in his hand first.

The storage room was just one floor away from the dormitory area of ​​the military headquarters, so he arrived at his destination quickly.

Sitting behind the guard desk at the door of the storage room was an elderly old man. He heard Shen Lu's footsteps, and opened his eyes with a little effort——

"Hey, you're finally back."

The old man raised his swollen and wrinkled eyelids slightly, and the light hit his eyeballs, making his pupils bright and transparent, but the color in his eyes was still a bit muddy.

"Here it is - you've worked hard tonight." Shen Lu swiped his terminal on the sensor in front of him, then took the pen handed over by the old man, and ticked himself on the attendance sheet.Then, his eyes fell on another name, which was still blank.

Shen Lu: "Where's Wu Xiao? Didn't he come to check in today?"

In the deep sea base, almost everyone has to rely on work to support themselves.But this does not mean that they will be able to sit on the job, and their salary is closely related to their attendance and working hours.After completing the task, they not only have to report on the terminal, but also complete an attendance process with the old man, otherwise the workload of the day will not be included in the salary.

"...who knows." The old man looked old, but he still had a good memory, "Anyway, I only saw the two of you come here at six o'clock tonight, and I never met him."

Shen Lu was a little strange.

Wu Xiao's job today should be easier than Shen Lu's - after all, the former's job is just to check the damage of a certain channel with a testing instrument, and then discuss the repair plan with the engineers.

...Maybe they haven't figured it out yet.

Shen Lu sighed, thinking that although Wu Xiao has been promoted, he is still very busy.

He glanced at the locked storage room and said, "Let me carry the box in."

The old man: "Okay." He pressed a button, and the metal gate behind him suddenly made a muffled "crack", and then slowly opened to the two of them.

Zila, Zila.The lights in the storage room came on.

Shen Lu lifted the metal box in and put it back on the shelf.

He turned around and glanced at the area where the tester was placed - sure enough, the charging position of the tester that Wu Xiao took away today was still empty.

Wu Xiao did not come to return the instrument.

Shen Lu stared at the empty space for three seconds, then turned and walked out of the storage room.

On the way back to the apartment building, Shen Lu bought a squid and seaweed cake at the vending area to treat himself.The fried squid cakes had plenty of fillings and were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Unfortunately, they were all refrigerated food. After the fat condensed, it became a little greasy—he should go back and reheat it before eating.Unfortunately, he was too hungry to hold back.

While climbing the stairs, Shen Lu swallowed the last bit of cake crumbs.

After climbing up to the fifth floor, he took out his key card, and subconsciously glanced at the door not far from him.

Wu Xiao lives very close to him.

Obviously Wu Xiao hasn't had time to complete his work attendance today...

But why, the door of his house seems to be ajar?

Shen Lu opened his eyes slightly.

He suddenly remembered what Wu Xiao said to him in the elevator today:

"Come to me after finishing work tonight, I have something to tell you."

So, Wu Xiao is waiting for him? ...But why is the light behind that door dim?

Shen Lu subconsciously noticed something strange.

He frowned, opened his terminal, put his thumb on the emergency call button, and then carefully slid into the dark area by the wall to conceal his figure.

He slowly walked over - to ensure that his figure would not be photographed by the camera in front of the door.

Shen Lu moved a few steps in the darkness, not daring to get closer.He took out a jar the size of a medicine bottle from the pimple, and put out two round, bean-like silver detectors.The moment his fingertips touched them, a row of light mechanical wings grew out of the two bean-sized detectors, and they flew up from Shen Lu's palm silently.

With his back against the wall, Shen Lu started to use his own terminal to control the two little "flying insects" and flew towards the crack of the door of Wu Xiao's room.

On the terminal monitor, the dark camera swayed from side to side, and accompanied by the sound of the inaudible wings vibrating, the two "flying insects" safely passed through the gap in the door.

Shen Lu saw the monitor screen inside the door - only then did he realize that the monitoring system on Wu Xiao's door had failed, and the monitoring system that was supposed to be working had fallen into a deep sleep at this moment, and the indicator light was not flickering.

"Flying insects" continued to go deeper.Under the night vision lens, the familiar furnishings in the past were shrouded in a faint green light.

Shen Lu didn't find anything abnormal.

He planned to direct "Flying Insect" to visit Wu Xiao's bedroom.But the bedroom door was locked.Shen Lu was not proficient in micromanagement, so it was still a bit difficult for him to let the "flying insect" slip into a completely closed bedroom door.

Shen Lu just wanted to summon his detector to come back - with a "crack", the door lock of the bedroom seemed to be pushed by someone.From the inside came out a tall man with a black robe covering his face, someone Shen Lu had never seen before——

Shen Lu subconsciously held his breath.

The detector with night vision seemed to capture something, which was faithfully reflected on the terminal in Shen Lu's hand.

On the man's robe, there were large, dripping blood stains, as if a dark flower had bloomed on his body.

The author has something to say: It's a bit short, I'll make it up tomorrow!
