Chapter 83: Roommates
Pete glanced at the time, didn't think much more, changed his clothes, opened the door and walked out. And Robert Sean, who was watching the game in the living room, saw Pitt come out again and said, "Do you want to go to dinner?" ”
"Yes." Pete said casually, "Do you want to be together?" ”
Unexpectedly, this guy really stood up and said, "That's exactly what I thought." ”
This surprised Pete a little, and he was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't you eat?" I mean, you haven't eaten for so long? ”
"Nope." Robert Sean said: "Actually, I just came back. When I first entered the house, all I wanted was to rest, to have a good rest. ”
"Let's come along." Pete said and walked to the door.
Robert quickly followed, and as he walked, he said, "How was your day?" ”
Pete pouted and said, "It's okay." It was calm and nothing happened. ”
Robert smiled and said, "Me too, sitting in my place for a day, there is nothing else to do except routine rounds." Feeling a little bored? ”
Pete chuckled and said, "I think it's good." It's not busy, it's not dangerous. Don't think too much about it, just focus on what's in front of you. ”
Robert looked at Pete and said with some confusion: "You are talking like an old man who is about to retire." How long have you been in Hermet? ”
"It's not long, if it's only a formal entry, it's not even a year old." Pete said.
"For so long?"
Robert seemed to be surprised, "Can you know which department you were in before?" ”
"Second floor. It's the people who run around with guns. ”
Pete said as he entered the dining room with Robert. After that, the two paused their small talk, each prepared their own dinner, and sat down at a table.
"Did you get injured and you were transferred here?" Robert asked.
Pete looked at the guy as he ate, "How do you know?" ”
"Because there are a lot of people like that. That's how some of the people in this department came about. Robert said.
Pete nodded in acknowledgement, and after taking two bites, he said, "What about you?" Did you go straight into this department? ”
"Yes. I was a soldier and was in charge of communications equipment. Wherever the large army arrives, they will set up a communication station or something before they come down or something. Then each team can be strung together. I've been doing something similar since I got here. Robert said.
"Can I communicate with the outside here?" Pete said curiously, "I've never seen anyone call here." ”
"Not allowed here." Robert said: "Yes, there is also surveillance. There is no connection to the outside network here... To be precise, only entry and exit are allowed, and there is only a limit to what can be put in. ”
Pete nodded and said, "Then you really won't be fine." It's about the same as me. Every day, I just take a roll call and look at the places to see. Maybe then it will be a shift to a night shift, and it will be more singular. ”
"It's single. I've worked the night shift, and I can tell you in charge that there won't be anything wrong with the night shift, even if you sleep until dawn. Robit lowered his voice as he spoke, "Don't believe it, because I've slept." ”
"Really?" Pete looked unbelieving and said, "What about the on-time inspection?" ”
"Of course I just didn't check it... Robert smiled and said, "Fortunately, no one came to check at that time." I had a cold that day, and I had some adverse reactions to the medicine, I just wanted to sleep, and I couldn't hold on at all. If I was found out by the inspectors at that time, I would be finished, and they wouldn't care why you fell asleep. ”
Pete smiled and said, "Why are you on duty?" Are you worried that someone will use communication equipment or anything else to communicate with the outside world in violation of the rules when the night is quiet? ”
"That's pretty much it." Robert said: "There is also the protection against external attacks. But so far it hasn't happened, and I don't think it's likely to happen. ”
"I hope it doesn't happen." Pete said: "If something like that happens, not only will you be unlucky, but I think all of us will be implicated." I just want to work in peace and quietly, and not have any troubles. ”
Robert smiled and said, "Why do I think it's nice for you to work here?" You know, most of the other people here are complaining, and I'm already okay with that. ”
Pete smiled wryly and said, "That's because they have had too many comfortable days." These disgruntled people should be sent to the second floor to report to the second floor, and they should be grouped into the ranks of those who are understaffed, and I guarantee that with only one or two crosses, those people will know how stupid they were before. ”
"That's how you got here? I mean, the danger on the second floor got you out of there. Robert asked.
"Of course." Pete said: "When your team is killed or injured in four out of five in one night, as long as you come back alive, you won't think about the chance of such a thing happening again." ”
"Four-fifths? Oh, my God... It's unbelievable ... Robert exclaimed in surprise and said, "Those who were transferred before that... What will happen to them? ”
"The person who was transferred?" Pete looked puzzled, "What person?" ”
"You don't know?" Robert asked rhetorically.
"What do I know?" Pete laughed and said, "I've only been here for a few days. ”
"Okay." Robert said, "You're here to replace some. It's not to increase, it's to replace some people. Don't you know this? ”
"I don't know." Pete shook his head and said, "When I came out of the hospital, my boss found me and said that my team would not have a mission for a while and a half, which actually meant that it was in name only." It's just that he may not have said it because of my feelings, but I know that's what it means. Also, my medical assessment may not be too good. You know that Hermet is very important in this area, and these opinions can even be decisive for your future. In other words, my old job is no longer suitable for me. But the above may think that I am experienced and reliable, but the point may be that it would be very bad to fire a member of a heroic team in this way, so they arranged a new job for me. That's where I came. ”
"Looks like you're a man with a story." Robert Road.
"There are no stories, there are a lot of nightmares." Pete said.
"Huh." Robert smiled and said, "Are you happy with your current job?" ”
"Satisfied. Quite satisfied. There is food, drink, and money, why are you not satisfied? You disgruntled people should be allowed to try it on the second floor, as we said before, if you come back after you have been there, it will definitely make you look new. Pete said.
