Chapter 10: Corpses
Lin Fei and Li Chunan searched the base according to the plan, but the process was not smooth, because there were very few people in the base, and in some places there were iron doors with electronic locks, which could not be passed through at all. ^//^ It can be said that this exploration did not achieve the intended effect, but at least, Lin Fei has a certain understanding of the structure of the entire base. And the employees of the Dürer company encountered along the way are also ordinary humans with a combat strength of about 15 to 25, not like contractors.
In order to obtain information, Lin Fei directly summoned Alice, preparing to use her charm ability to directly obtain the information he wanted to know from the base staff. After Alice appeared, she was going to complain that Lin Fei hadn't summoned her for so long, but after seeing Li Chunan on the side, Alice endured the dissatisfaction in her heart, but in front of Li Chunan, she deliberately made an extremely charming expression against Lin Fei's body, so angry that Li Chunan almost split Alice with the iron-blooded wrist knife in her hand.
These skirmishes did not affect the next operation, and after Alice easily seduced a base worker, Lin Fei got some information he wanted to know.
For example, because a group of excavation equipment has failed, in order to ensure the amount of stone needed, the employees here are now working in the need wells, so there are not many people in the base.
As for the maintenance engineers in the base before, this staff's statement is completely different from Hunter's, that is, those engineers are indeed not contract expired, but just like the plot of the novel mentioned by Li Chunan, they have mysteriously disappeared, and the missing place is in the need well. There is a lot of taboo in the base about this matter, and no one wants to mention it. In addition, Lin Fei also asked about that Hunter, and just as he guessed, the people in the base only knew that the other party was the manager here, but they didn't know that the other party was a robot at all.
"It seems that the boss of Duller takes this robot very seriously. After all, people can betray him, but robots can't betray him, and the disappearance of the last wave of engineers must have been blocked by Dürer Company. Because that would affect their needs, but according to the logic of the novel, the disappearance must represent a precursor to disaster! Lin Fei looked at Li Chunan and said, the latter also nodded.
That's all this staff member knows, and then Lin Fei asked Alice to remove the charm at the right time, and then this staff member will not have any memory of this time at all.
The fat man had secretly contacted him several times, and Hunter seemed to care very much about the lack of people among them, and the fat man had to say that the two of them had gone to the toilet, but he asked Lin Fei and Li Chunan to rush back as soon as possible.
Now that you have figured out the surrounding environment, and you know that most of the people in the base are in the need well, there is no need to continue to investigate. After all, even if there are contractors from other teams here, it is estimated that they should be in the well of need.
However, Lin Fei still planned to let Alice continue to investigate, Lin Fei still had a set of iron-blooded camouflage clothes in his hand, and handed it to Alice to equip at this time. In this way, she can use the camouflage suit to conceal her figure, which is extremely beneficial for the next investigation.
Everything was arranged. By the time Lin Fei and Li Chunan arrived at the No. 4 maintenance plant, the fat man was arguing with Hunter about something. And on the side there are several huge machines, some of which have their lids removed.
Seeing Lin Fei and Li Chunan coming over, the fat man shouted: "Look, they're back, I said it, they just went to the toilet and got lost, after all, it's the first time we came to this ghost place, and the broken spaceship you arranged for us almost killed us, I haven't settled this account yet!" ”
Fat people are officials in the real world. Therefore, his eloquence can be said to be the best among these people, and he relied on him to delay until Lin Fei and the others came back. …,
Na Hunter also saw Lin Fei and Li Chunan rushing over, but he nodded and said: "The cause of the accident is still under investigation, and it is still difficult to conclude whether it is the cause of the spacecraft itself, after all, it may also be sabotage." If that's the case, the company will also hold the vandals accountable! ”
This is obviously a confrontation with the fat man, which means that the driver and co-pilot are not alive or dead, and if it is vandalism, you are the most suspicious.
The fat man's face turned blue with anger, and he wanted to say something, but Lin Fei had already answered the conversation.
"Alright, we'll get our job done as soon as we can!" Giving the fat man a look, Lin Fei ended the argument between the two.
Seeing Lin Fei and Li Chunan coming back, Hunter just nodded and smiled, and then stood quietly aside without speaking. This made the fat man even more unhappy, now that there is such a guy, they can't even chat.
"Is this guy an overseer?" The fat man muttered under his breath as if he didn't like this Hunter.
Lin Fei's identity is a maintenance engineer, and their job is naturally to repair faulty machines, and this knowledge has long been instilled into their memories when they entered the mission world. Therefore, several people are still more proficient in overhauling these faulty machines and then replacing parts.
The machines here are huge, and the troubleshooting alone is quite time-consuming, and after more than an hour, several people who work together finally repair a machine properly and replace the faulty parts. The fat man got into the machine and started it, and it was already working normally.
"Story Mission: 'Repair the Machine' is completed, each person is rewarded with 35 hours, and the captain receives 200 team points, this task can be completed multiple times!"
With the repair of the first machine, several people got such a hint.
Obviously, repairing one machine is even if it completes a mission, and there are several others here, which can be considered a good source of rewards if they are all repaired.
At this time, Lin Fei suddenly found that Hunter, who had been standing on the other side, disappeared without a trace.
"That grandson ran away? When? When the fat man heard about it, he was also a little stunned, he had just really devoted himself to the role of a maintenance worker, and he didn't find out when the other party left.
"Maybe we saw that we were working normally, so we left by ourselves!" The crossbow man said at this time, he had some oil stains on his hands, and he didn't know where to put his hands.
At this time, Xiao Kai and Baozi, who were about to overhaul another machine, seemed to have discovered something and asked Lin Fei and the others to come over. And when they all passed, they were shocked to find that in a machine, there was a person huddled.
Or rather, it was a corpse, because this person should have been dead for a long time, and the pungent smell of corpse decay was very obvious.
"Judging by the level of decomposition of the corpse, it has been dead for at least a week!" Gu Xiaolin, who is a police officer by profession, said with great certainty at this time, she asked Xiao Kai and Baozi to help, and dragged the body out of it and placed it on the ground.
Although the deceased died horribly, it is still possible to see the clothes he was wearing, which were also the uniform of Duller Industries.
"You say, this guy can't be the missing maintenance engineer, right?" The fat man suddenly thought of a possibility, and as he spoke, he squatted down, not disgusted, and began to rummage through the corpse.
As a result, he found several things, including an identification card, a video camera, and a metal watch.
The fat man was stunned when he touched the metal watch, and then looked up and said to everyone: "Damn, it's no wonder you say, this guy is actually a contractor!" ”
The metal watch was a storage item, and of course only the contractor possessed it. The fat man scooped out a lot of props from it, and the possibility that the deceased was a contractor was already a certainty. ..., just, how can a contractor die in the lid of a machine? When did he enter this quest world?
It's all a puzzle.
Xiao Kai was very interested in electronic instruments, so he directly scooped up the camera equipment to study, and finally told everyone that this was a portable video camera with a large-capacity memory card in it, which should store some images.
Soon, the identification card was also identified by several people, because there was a device to check the identity card.
"Solan Torr, employee of Duller Industries, occupation: mechanical engineer!"
When this string of information appeared, several people could determine that this person was the engineer who had disappeared before, and that the other party was the same contractor as themselves.
Xiao Kai's side quickly retrieved the data from the camera and played it back. At this time, you can see a dark shadow and a voice that sounds very desperate and panicked on the small screen.
"My teammates are all dead, I should be soon, I told them a long time ago that those Asian monkeys are unreliable, but it's too late to say anything, we were cheated by them, if it can happen all over again, I will definitely slaughter those bastards with my own hands!" In the video, the man who spoke said in despair.
"Those Asian monkeys want to get the idea of needing those things in the well, I curse them all to die in it, those bastards ......"
A frantic expletive session ensued, lasting almost a minute before stopping.
At this time, there seemed to be a terrifying roar in the distance in the video, and the people in the video began to pant and start running wildly, the picture was dim and shaky, and it was almost impossible to see anything clearly. Later, the man seems to see a machine, but instead he opens it, gets into it himself, and finally closes the lid of the machine.
The video is gone at this point, and the painting behind it is pitch black, except for a few gasps and moans of pain. After that, the voice gradually faded down, and finally calmed down.
Lin Fei was silent, the things in the video looked a little inexplicable, but in fact, there were a lot of messages delivered. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
