Chapter 2: Departure

That night, Zhou You lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

It's just that the error value of a height measurement is too high, and it may be just a trivial matter for most people in the world, and it will be diverted after a few minutes.

After all, there will always be some accidents in the human body.

Maybe it'll be back tomorrow? It's not surprising.

But Zhou You always likes to think about it when he encounters things, and he has a very serious obsessive-compulsive disorder, but he also read a lot of books, and the biology course in the college entrance examination was unfortunately a full score, and he also dealt with biology in college courses.

So he really understands that.

The more you know, the more confused you become.

Wandering around the night, meditating on scientific principles, instrument errors, and measurement methods, trying to find explanations.

But he didn't succeed in the end, and he didn't fall asleep until midnight.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou You climbed up with dark circles under his eyes.

He went to measure his height again.

171.5cm。

There is no doubt that something happened.

Something big is wrong.

Even if you didn't sleep well last night, it shouldn't be like this.

Yesterday morning, it was only 0.1 cm less than normal height.

But today this is directly 1.4 centimeters less, which is outrageous.

Sitting on the toilet with a buzzing brain, Zhou You took out his mobile phone and began to scroll through the news, trying to find some valuable information through the information explosion.

Unfortunately, no.

Zhou You doesn't know if this shortening is a problem for himself or everyone, but because the current change is too small, people regard this as an ordinary measurement error and do not pay attention to it.

After all, not everyone has severe obsessive-compulsive disorder like him, but also happens to care about height.

Zhou You recalled yesterday's small talk with Shen Ling, thought of the possibility of mice replacing humans as a new species on the earth, and began to imagine the city built by mice in his mind, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart.

If I keep getting shorter and shrinking, will I really become the size of a mouse?

He knew that this idea was a bit strange, too persecuted and paranoid, after all, this was where it went.

But he just couldn't help it.

After arriving at the company, Zhou You sat for more than half an hour, and then he still had no choice, so he simply didn't think nonsense.

It's not that he suppressed the disturbing thoughts, but he simply let himself go, and spent an hour carefully imagining what would happen next if humans really became only the size of mice, what he should do, and what he should prepare in advance.

Immediately afterwards, he simply engaged in a round of intensive purchases.

He took most of the day off, ran through the Digital City, the Electromechanical City and the Toy City, and bought a lot of things.

A four-rotor drone, an Internet celebrity mini kitchen set, a 1:20 Gundam alloy sword, a bunch of lighters, a miniature high-pressure gas tank, an air pump to inflate the gas tank, a large number of staples, a rechargeable nail gun, a German Seiko mini machine tool, monocrystalline silicon solar power bank, solar charging panels, children's flashlights, women's self-defense mini electric batons, a box of compressed biscuits, two boxes of mineral water, a bundle of rope, a mini utility knife, USB rechargeable laser pointer, suction cup soft bullet gun, a large box of iron nails, miniature wooden toy Zhuge crossbow, etc., etc.......

All kinds of things, he spent more than 20,000 in one go, among which drones and mini machine tools with replacement battery modules were the most expensive and belonged to large goods.

Zhou You feels that drones are necessary, but the mini machine tool is not necessarily a necessity, the main thing is that he will not use it, but when he visited the electromechanical city, he felt that it might be used, and it was really not possible to learn and sell it now, in case it was used well, it would have a miraculous effect, so he gritted his teeth and bought it.

There's no way, it's all done in a hurry, it belongs to the wild consumption triggered by too strong uneasiness, and I buy what I think of when I see it, and I don't have time to carefully sum it up.

……

In the underground parking garage of Toy City, Zhou You stuffed the last box into the trunk of the hybrid off-road, filled it full, and saw that the time was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and he was about to get off work, and planned to go back to the company to pick up Shen Ling and then go home.

At this time, Shen Ling called him and asked him when he would return to the company.

After chatting for a while, Zhou You hung up with a solemn expression.

Vice President Liang of the business department just spoke, saying that the relevant person in charge of docking on Party A's side returned ahead of schedule, so his own company also advanced the timeline.

The business trip team has to set off at 6 o'clock this afternoon, and it takes a three-hour drive to Yicheng City, and it will arrive at 9 o'clock in the evening, and the on-site investigation of Yicheng Paper will begin tomorrow morning.

It was already 5:40 when I returned to the office, and then hurriedly went upstairs to pack up paper, pen, camera, laptop and other things.

When he collected his things, Shen Ling came to urge, "Lao Liang is already waiting in the parking lot, hurry up." ”

When he arrived at the parking lot, Zhou Youzheng saw Vice President Liang standing next to his car with great interest and looking up and down, looking very interested.

Zhou You sighed in his heart, and secretly said that his mother wanted bad things.

Sure enough, when the two of them went downstairs, Lao Liang, who looked like a person in a brand-name suit, immediately beckoned excitedly, "You kid, you have a good car." Extended-range hybrid, not bad, really good. If we are environmentally friendly, we should drive this kind of environmentally friendly car. ”

How can you not know what this dog is thinking, but you have to walk over hard, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Liang is polite, how can my car compare with Mr. Liang's four circles, this is a domestic miscellaneous brand, the chassis is hard, the control is rotten, there is no card, except for fuel economy." ”

Vice President Liang waved his hand, "Don't be modest." My old A8 also looks bluffing, in fact, buying second-hand is worth 200,000, and he is still an oil tiger. This time our business trip is not a bid, it is a business that has already been negotiated, and we don't have to support the scene. It is estimated that you have to run around Yicheng Paper when you feel the row on site, there are many farmers and mountain roads, and it is more suitable to drive you off-road, which is fuel-efficient and low-cost, and the chassis is higher. Don't worry, I will pay you for the fuel and toll fees to ensure that you don't suffer a loss. ”

Zhou You rolled his eyes secretly, and his heart was also convinced.

Save Nima's oil.

When you pay the bill, you will settle the bill according to your broken oil tiger A8 mileage, and then settle the account for me according to Lao Tzu's hybrid small off-road, and the 110 kilometers of pure electric mileage that you are full of every day will be in vain, and you will make a net profit of 300 before you go out.

This doesn't include the maintenance fee, and the maintenance fee is not reported.

If you say that you are a brute, you are lifting up a brute.

When the brute sees you, he has to call you Daddy.

Although the heart is in response, Zhou You still can't object, who calls this product not big or small is a total.

But then he remembered that the trunk was full of ballast stones.

With a lot of heavy goods prepared for a rainy day, a lot of oil can be burned, so that Vice President Liang can eat less of the difference, which is more or less a consolation prize.

Before getting into the car, before Vice President Liang arranged the seat, Shen Ling sat directly in the co-pilot, the apparent reason was that he was worried that he would be sleepy when driving long distances at night, so he sat in front and chatted with him to refresh himself.

Vice President Liang didn't see any loss on his face, only said that Xiao Shen was thoughtful.

Rongcheng in the evening was a little blocked, but fortunately this was the height of summer, and it was the longest sunshine of the year, so it was only seven o'clock when the three of them went out of the city on the highway, and the sunset had not yet set.

The car was traveling from north to south, and the slanting rays of the sunset shone through the passenger glass and shone in.

Zhou You looked at the highway that seemed to be endless, but he didn't think about Yicheng Paper in his mind, but subconsciously remembered his height.

He raised his left wrist slightly and shook it.

I feel that I feel a little loose when I wear a very suitable sports watch.

I don't know if it's psychological or true.

Zhou You turned his head and pretended to look in the rearview mirror, but he actually looked at the top of Shen Ling's head, trying to see the difference.

Unfortunately, nothing was found.

He stepped on the gas pedal a little more and raised the speed to 138 km/h, barely below the 144km/h limit.

He planned to arrive at the hotel in Yicheng before nine o'clock in the evening anyway, and then find a nearby pharmacy to measure his height.
