Returning from the abyss

Chapter 947 Work on Paper-Level Architecture

Lu Ning really didn't pay much attention to the problem of the flow of time.The 24 quarters here are difficult to convert neatly with the [-]-hour clock, and there are a lot of new things I saw today, so Lu Ning didn't focus on this.

But Zhou Weiyuan is better at these calculations.He thought for a while and said: "From the time we finished the captain's first explanation, we started counting at about five and a half quarters until we set off at seven quarters. The interval in between was about three hours. And at seven quarters, we started to make weapons. The whole process of going back and forth is almost three hours, but when we return, the time is only seven quarters and a half."

"Three times the time difference? Why didn't we feel it?" Lu Ning was also a little surprised, "It stands to reason that if we stayed for such a long time, and the actual time has only passed this point, we should be aware of it."

"If I hadn't been paying attention, I probably wouldn't have noticed it," Zhou Weiyuan said.

Obviously, everyone didn't feel the change of time, even those who already had powerful abilities. The strength of these people was not blocked, but the pressure to release it was cancelled.

"So I paid attention again. From [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], during the period of [-]:[-], we discussed for more than six hours, close to seven hours. This is similar to the conclusion of the first time. , In other words, the time flow in this lounge has not changed, I think our time difference is formed in that weapon room."

The obvious conclusion, after all, is the only place where everyone has been.

"So, when we work tomorrow, we have to prepare. I'm afraid this day will be much longer than we thought..." Zhou Weiyuan could only come to this conclusion.

"Then let's go back to rest too. If this conversion ratio is used for this period of rest, it's just enough for a good night's sleep." Lu Ning said, standing up.Her eyes just glanced out of the window, and she couldn't help but pause slightly.

The fog at night seems to be slightly lighter than that in the daytime. In the dark night, the colorful lights penetrated the fog and formed a circular neon belt outside the window. At that time, I didn't actually hear anyone's movement.

"What did you see?" Zhou Weiyuan noticed Lu Ning's movements.

"I'm a little curious about the living conditions of the people in the cities outside. But let's try to survive before we think about other things."

This night Lu Ning slept very soundly, so solid that she didn't seem to be in the scene.When she opened her eyes as the alarm clock rang, she felt very refreshed.In the closet, you can prepare ordinary clothes at will. Lu Ning thought about the situation discussed yesterday, changed into a very ordinary shirt and trousers, made a strap, put on a weapon and a rule book, and then went to rest room.

Nuonuo was already sitting at the table, holding a newspaper in his hand, and in front of him was a plate that had already been eaten.Seeing Lu Ning come out, Nuonuo pointed casually: "Eat quickly."

"Ok."

Lu Ning went to the closet to take out the dinner plate. You can order food at will from the pantry. Lu Ning didn't take a lot. She had a hunch... If you eat too much, you may not feel well today.

And the follow-up people began to come out one after another, some of them were still yawning.Nuonuo waited for everyone to finish their meal, glanced at the time, and led the team to set off.

This time the direction is downward, leaving the outer ring building and walking towards the inside.

"The place where you work today is a paper-grade building, which is relatively easy to manage. Just be prepared. Just in case, you should pay attention to the warning lights on the wall. Usually the state is white, and blue means a first-level alarm. The escape corridor will be blocked; orange is level [-], the floor where the escape occurred will be blocked; red is level [-] alarm, the entire building will be blocked. If there is an alarm, immediately confirm your location, if not in the blockade area , Try to leave the building immediately. If you are in the blocked area, then I suggest you take weapons for yourself." Nuonuo shook his head slightly, and slowed down his tone, "Besides, the four-level alarm is If the lights are turned off in the whole area, it means that the situation is completely out of control, before sending someone from above, try to survive as much as possible."

A group of people nodded in the back.

Soon, everyone passed through a heavy gate. Nuonuo swiped his card, and the gate was locked immediately. Then the indicator light on it flickered a few times, and finally stopped at the white position.

"Go to the temporary rest room. During work, you will be asked to rest and change shifts every once in a while. I usually notify you. You can't believe anyone's notification except me. Understand?" Nuonuo said again.

"Understood." The people behind replied sparsely.

Nuonuo shrugged noncommittally, and led everyone into a large lounge, which looked more technological, and there were even temporary beds for naps.At this time, Giovanni and Ling Qi had already led the team here. Seeing Nuonuo coming in, the two captains greeted happily.

"Nono! I'm so glad we're working together again!" Giovanni said with a big laugh.

"The last time we worked together was four days ago." Nuonuo sighed, "How is your team?"

"They are all good girls and good boys. I believe that today we will be able to complete the task well! If there are ten teams... how about you A1 to A11?"

"Whatever, it's paper grade anyway." Nuonuo took down a bunch of key cards from the wall, "Lu Ning, Tiangong, A1 Red Flower; Zhou Weiyuan, Li Qingyu, A2 Thorny Forest; Li Beifengdai, A3 Wax man..."

Nuonuo didn't need to read the rule book at all when assigning tasks. As the captain, he was more familiar with this place than everyone who had memorized it all night.Some of the management work required two people, and some required only one person, and she had already assigned them all, and in the end even she had to go to a unit.

"Nuo Nuo, you are too efficient, I am still lecturing here!" Ling Qi said in surprise.

"Long working hours can earn a lot of money." Nuonuo said, "Everyone go out!"

There's no walkie-talkie for this job, it seems like there are a lot of containment objects that respond to this type of communication, so it's basically via shouting or an internal broadcast line—a line that's available in the temporary break room.

There are signs on the road, but the location of the units does not seem to be sorted by serial number. Lu Ning and Tiangong walked down the corridor for a while, and found the location of A1 after passing through three doors.

"Safflower... Ha." Tiangong took out the rule book, "I'm a little nervous."

"It's easier to manage." Lu Ning said.

[It is characterized by a flower with red petals, six petals, the same color, and no stamens.The safflower is planted in a red flower pot. If it needs to be transplanted, it needs to be mixed with blood and soil at a ratio of 1:3, wrapped around the root, and placed in another red flower pot.

The executor must abide by the following guidelines:

From [-]:[-] a.m. to [-]:[-] a.m., watering is carried out every two quarters. The blood bottle prepared outside is used for watering, and one bottle needs to be watered at a time.

After each watering, check the pot for any damage and that the outside of the pot is completely red.If it is damaged or there is a part that is not red, immediately take out a new red flower pot from the locker for transplantation. Before transplanting, please make sure that the watering at this time has been completed.

The petals of safflower are diamond-shaped, and their color may change in depth over time, so no attention is required.However, if there are petals of different colors in the petals of the safflower, report to the captain immediately, and there is no need to abide by the watering rules at this time.

After entering the unit and leaving the unit, it will automatically play soft music. If you find that the music you hear has turned into harsh noise, don’t show any special expressions. Exit the unit immediately after finishing the work and press the emergency button on the unit door. button.

The same person cannot enter Red Flower's unit twice in a row, and all work should be done alternately by two executors. 】

Although a bit cumbersome, it was not difficult for Lu Ning and Tian Gong.It was almost three quarters, Lu Ning immediately took a bottle of blood from the shelf outside, took a deep breath, and walked into the unit.

The safflower was placed in a red flower pot, quietly placed in the center of the unit, without any special appearance.After Lu Ning entered, she looked up at the clock, waited for three quarters, and immediately poured the blood into the flower pot. At this moment, she saw the petals of the red flower slightly curled, and the leaves Stretch, as if... a creature just woke up.

The music in her ears was still soft and gentle, Lu Ning ignored the movement of the red flowers and began to check the flower pots.However, the flower pot looked fine. Lu Ning even boldly lifted the flower pot and looked at the bottom. It was all red, and there was nothing wrong with the color at all.

Then, the petals are all red, and there is no difference in color from other petals. Now the red flower is shaking gently with the music. It is hard for Lu Ning to imagine how such a small plant can cause a doomsday disaster.

However, the doomsday core of the safflower is called the land of blood, and one can tell what blood may be related to it.It is estimated that the work of this unit cannot allow Ao Li to come. Once the blood and the blood family are connected, it may be bad if something goes wrong.

After all the inspections were over, Lu Ning left the unit, and then looked at Tian Gong in dismay: "It's over."

"Is this the end?" Tiangong was stunned for a moment.

"No problem, everything that needs to be checked has been checked, so... it's over." Lu Ning was also a little surprised. All kinds of psychological construction before this job ended up being over so easily?
"What do we do with the rest of the time, we only water every two minutes, we're fine, are we fishing here? Or are we going in and staring at it all the time?"

This is a problem that newcomers are more likely to worry about. The work is completed immediately and there is plenty of time, so what should I do?Leaving AWOL will definitely cause problems, neither Lu Ning nor Tian Gong wants to do it, but standing here seems to be fine, except for studying the rule book.

After thinking for a while, the two simply sat down and continued to endorse.

After a while, the two heard footsteps, and the lights were still white, so they were not particularly surprised. After all, there were other units around, and the rest of the executors should have come.

"...The deity will naturally protect you."

In front of a unit in the distance, three people came.Lu Ning remembered the number of that unit, A19, and she had just read the information.

【Paper-A19 Spiral Corpse Tower
It is characterized by a row of spiral upward stairs, without external support, only the metal plates and handrails forming the stairs are suspended in the air, with a height of about nine meters, converging from bottom to top.From the position of two meters, if someone dies in the spiral corpse tower unit and the unit corridor, the corpse will be transferred to the bottom of the stairs to hang, and the rope used for hanging is a metal wire made of the same material as the stairs.

The executor must confirm the following:

Every time work is performed, at least three performers must enter the unit together within 20 seconds, and the entry and stay time must be more than 360 seconds.When leaving, everyone must leave together within 20 seconds.

After entering the unit, immediately check the number in the record behind the door, and check whether the number of corpses on the spiral corpse tower is consistent with the number in the record.If the number is found to be inconsistent, immediately check whether the number of people in the room is consistent with the number when entering.

After the inspection, an enforcer needs to get the rags and cleaner from the locker and climb the stairs.The other two were not able to watch the enforcer's actions after he stepped up the stairs.

The performer of the climb needs to check the stairs for blood and, if so, wipe it off.In contrast, if you find blood on the armrest, please ignore it.After the clearing work has been carried out to the top, the climber must drop the rag and cleaning agent from above, and then walk down the stairs by himself.

When leaving the unit, all executors must reconfirm the number of people to ensure that it is consistent with the number of people entering. 】

Lu Ning looked up at the three people. This job is really simple, as long as you are careful enough, there is no pressure at all.However... Those are only the executors who need to pay attention, and the subsequent incident report will describe in detail what consequences will be caused by irregular work.

"The maximum number of hanging corpses in the Spiral Corpse Tower is [-]. Once this number is reached, the Spiral Corpse Tower will make a [breakthrough]." Lu Ning's fingers slid across the text, "The danger is mainly on the climbers. If the bloodstains are removed, then the climber will become a dead body hanging on it at the last moment of walking down, and the person walking down will be replaced by a living corpse. Since they cannot see during this period, the other two people will also hang on at this time. In danger, the living corpses will attack from behind. If they are strangled to the neck by the living corpses, they will also be hung up under the corpse tower. In addition, if the two people below see the climber, they will also be hung up... Generally speaking , the corpse tower is working hard to create corpses."

"And it doesn't matter." Tiangong also saw this part. "According to another incident report, try to deal with it by shelving. When every step of the stairs of the Spiral Corpse Tower is covered with blood, as long as you enter this corridor, you will was directly hoisted up."

This thing does not give a chance to struggle, it hangs the corpse up, that is to say, the moment the person is transferred, the person dies.
