Chapter 2: Restlessness

"Lazy worm get up, lazy worm get up,,," The increasingly loud alarm sound sounded from the speaker of Li Li's mobile phone that kept vibrating next to his pillow.

Li Li sat up suddenly, with a hazy and sluggish expression looking for the source of the sound, and soon found the 5-year-old Nokia mobile phone that came to the pillow, Li Li subconsciously picked up the phone and was about to fall on the floor, but when the unique metallic texture of the N6700S came from his hand, it made the hazy Li Li suddenly sober up a lot.

In this era of the mainstream of touch-screen mobile phones, Li Li is still using this outdated Nokia 6700S that has been turned into an elderly machine by children, it is because he values the anti-drop ability of the aluminum alloy shell of this mobile phone, he has been very fond of lazy beds since he was a child, and he doesn't like to be woken up in the morning, so he broke 3 touch-screen mobile phones in almost a year, and it seems that there is a tendency to like to fall more and more.

Li Li pressed the confirmation button on the keyboard of his mobile phone, stopped the annoying alarm sound, picked up his mobile phone and looked at the time to show that it was half past seven in the morning, so he forced himself to get dressed and get ready for work.

Li Li is 23 years old this year, graduated from the University of Science and Technology with a bachelor's degree, majored in mechanical design, 178CM tall, although not handsome but with good facial features, the comprehensive conditions should be not bad, but he can only be an assembly line operator on the assembly line of an assembly plant in his hometown Quancheng, the reason is that he does not have a "steel father", then he only has to go to the assembly line "steel up", and then because his hometown Quancheng is only a county-level city in the west of the economy is not developed, it is not easy to have a stable job, in this fierce competition, In an era when there are so many college students, he is very satisfied with having a stable job.

So even though he works ten hours a day on the factory assembly line and can only have one day off a week, he is already very content with a salary of more than 2,000 yuan after buying five insurances, at least he can support himself, reduce the burden on his family, and don't have to gnaw at the old.

On Xiangyang Avenue, the only highway in Quancheng, Li Li was riding a bicycle and galloping towards the Tongguang Machinery Factory on the edge of Dongcheng City.

Quancheng is a small city in the west, it is said that the small city is only a city in the developed coastal area, it is also a pearl city in the west, Quancheng is surrounded by mountains, belongs to the basin type, the urban area is about 60 square kilometers, the population of the county is about 300,000 people, leaving the city to the west is the Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of half Tibet and half Han, belonging to the transportation hub connecting the Tibetan area.

When Li Li passed through the intersection, he found that there was a large circle of people in front of him, and saw several police cars parked next to him, and the police lights on the police cars kept flashing, he glanced at the direction of the crowd and walked away non-stop, he was already a little surprised by these things, because in the past year, car accidents have become more and more ordinary, almost once in a few days, not only in Quancheng, but also in Anshi, which is less than 40 kilometers away, car accidents often occur.

So Li Li had to warn himself to be calm every time he rode out of the house, but the effect was not good every time, as if he was becoming more and more impatient, and his temper was getting more and more irritable.

After more than ten minutes of travel, Li Li finally entered the workshop before eight o'clock, and he quickly signed in at the desk of the assembly line leader and walked to his work.

"Xiao Li, didn't you see yesterday's news." Before Li Li walked to his job, a voice couldn't wait to reach his ears, and he didn't need to look at him to know who the owner of the voice was, it was his colleague Zhang Xing on the other side of the assembly line.

Zhang Xing is middle-aged, in his forties, graduated from high school, wears glasses, has a Chinese face, and has a pair of big eyes with thick and long eyebrows.

For a more honest person like Zhang Xing, Li Li still has a good impression, and he is also one of the few people who can talk in the factory, perhaps because of the boring and boring assembly line operation, discussing international and domestic news has become a compulsory course for Zhang Xing and Li Li every day, it is not accurate to say that it is a discussion, in fact, Zhang Xing himself is talking, and Li Li is just his only audience.

Li Ligang sat down, and Zhang Xing, who was on the other side of the assembly line, said again: "What's wrong with this world."

"Uncle Zhang, could it be that the president of the United States resigned under pressure from the demonstrators? Or is it another big campaign by the Grand Coalition of European Environmental Demonstrators? Li Li sorted out the trivial matters on the post, and looked at Zhang Xing curiously, although he didn't like to watch the news, but every day under Zhang Xing's ears and eyes, he also knew about the major events in the world, Zhang Xing was equivalent to a living news person around Li Li.

Seeing that Li Li didn't know, Zhang Xing's eyes widened and he made an exaggerated expression and said: "No, you don't know yet, it was during a demonstration in Russia that during the conflict between demonstrators and government forces, there were actually flame-breathing people who could breathe fire." ”

"What kind of fire-breathing flame man, Uncle Zhang, you can't be mistaken, right?" Li Li looked surprised, but then asked with a slight smile, he is a materialist and an atheist, of course he will not believe these things.

Zhang Xing shook his head again and again, and said with an affirmative face: "How could I be wrong, I saw it on Phoenix Terrace this morning, and I heard that many people died in this conflict."

There was a trace of solemnity in Li Li's eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he said cautiously: "Then there has been less news about this aspect during this period of time, I thought it was ,,,,."

"There is an undercurrent surging under the calm surface of the lake." Zhang Xing sneered, and deliberately made a deep look on his face.

"Uncle Zhang, do you think these things are really like what those demonstrators said, everything is caused by the mining and utilization of combustible ice?" After a moment of silence, Li Li casually asked, there have been several years of development and utilization of combustible ice, but the debate about the development and utilization of combustible ice has not stopped.

"Not sure, but many of these demonstrators are from the elite of society, and some time ago, Dr. Keitel, the most authoritative doctor of biology in the United States, also made a statement to persuade the American government to stop the mining and use of combustible ice, and made many assumptions." Zhang Xing pondered for a moment and touched the slag of his beard that was sighing under his chin.

Li Li also nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, the crime rate has become higher and higher in recent years, and the whole society has changed from impetuousness to irritability, this phenomenon is not related to Dr. Keitel's hypothetical gray mist generated by the chemical reaction between the unknown gas and nitrogen under the action of lightning during the combustion process of deep combustible ice, and this gray mist affects humans and other creatures through breathing and makes them more and more irritable. ”

Zhang Xing pondered for a while and replied: "Indeed, if you don't talk about other places, let's just say that the security of our small city is a world of difference from before, and now it is a fight and brawl at every turn." ”

"Even I feel the irritability of my emotions, just like before." Li Li nodded, muttering to himself in an inaudible voice.

"It's open, it's open, the braggart will stop me, and the breakfast one will give me a few bites to eat, otherwise the old rules." Just as Zhang Xing was about to say something, a sharp voice came from the front of the assembly line, and I saw a young man who was not much different in age from Li Li was waving his big hand and shouting loudly, this person was Li Li and Zhang Xing, the line leader of the assembly line, Gao Wei.

"The villain has a will, a sycophant." Zhang Xing scolded in a low voice with an unhappy face, although Zhang Xing looked down on Gao Wei, a junior high school student who had only been in the factory for four years and had become the line leader by making a small report, but he still obediently stopped discussing with Li Li, and Li Li consciously and silently began to wait for the line to open.

The belt of the assembly line started slowly, there was a rumbling noise, and one product after another slid down the assembly line.

Li Li's position is to make screws, that is, to put 4 screws on the product cover to fix the cover, he is more careful, plus this position has been more than half a year, playing thousands of screws a day, has produced muscle memory, even if he closes his eyes, he can accurately put the screws into the hole of the cover, and a simple single action makes him slowly fall into contemplation.

The conversation with Zhang Xing just now seemed to make Li Li grasp something, and he gradually began to ponder.

Li Li's mother Liu Qun is a very simple farmer, his father Li Zhiguo is a very diligent construction worker, he has been working on the construction site with his father as long as he has a holiday or working on the mountain with his mother, the family environment makes Li Li's personality more stable and strong-willed, Li Li has not had the habit of dropping things to vent since he was a child, and he can also control his emotions, but he has dropped 3 mobile phones in just one year. And Li Li also felt that he was not impetuous but irritable, and it seemed that this society had also become irritable.

"Yes, the technology is pretty good." Just as Li Li was deep in thought, Gao Wei, the line leader who had been standing behind him for an unknown amount of time, suddenly spoke without warning.

"It's okay!" Li Li was interrupted by this voice, he was startled, he quickly came back to his senses, and smiled bitterly, this screw is just one action, thousands of times a day, it is difficult to be unfamiliar with it.

"Recently, this batch of goods is in a hurry, so I will work hard for you and work overtime on Sunday!" The line leader Gao Wei looked at Li Li with a smile, and his tone was also very flat.

"Okay, long line, it's fine anyway." Li Li responded very sensibly, he also knows one about this line leader, that is, he is a complete snob, and he is also a person with a very small heart and a very vindictive heart, even if he doesn't agree, he must come, and he has offended this person, so it is better to agree directly.

As Li Li thought, Gao Wei came to ask Li Li not to ask him if he was willing to work overtime, but to tell him to work overtime on weekends.

"Well, yes, you are a college student, as long as you are willing to work hard, you have a lot of prospects, I am very optimistic about you." Seeing Li Li answer like this, Line Leader Gao Wei nodded with satisfaction, revealing a mouthful of misplaced yellowed teeth and smiled

Then Gao Wei seemed to find a feeling, and said a lot of words of encouragement to Li Li from the leader to his subordinates, Li Li lost interest in Gao Wei's words after hearing the weekend overtime, but still showed a teachable expression, and then began to ponder while screwing,,,,,,
