Chapter 7 Entering the Basement

"What door do you need?"

Hearing Badman's name, the man's expression softened a lot, and he took off his work cap and safety cover and came over.

"It's this kind of door..."

Chi Heng gestured to him.

"Tell me the address……"

"A house right next to Shea Lake."

Upon hearing the name "Lake Shea", the worker's face changed slightly, "That house has been unoccupied for a long time, why do you live there?"

"That's my uncle's house, my uncle passed away, so..."

"Your uncle?"

The worker thought for a while: "I seem to have heard that he is a weirdo."

Chi Heng: "..."

wack?This morning, Chi Heng always felt that his kind-hearted uncle had revealed many secrets to him.

"But you look much more normal."

The worker held out his hand: "My name is Matthew Terry, please don't mind what I just said, I am very sorry for your uncle's death."

"It's okay, that, when can the door be delivered?"

"We have ready-made doors here. Many houses are standard models. You can choose. If possible, I can deliver the door for you in the afternoon. If the size does not match, I will measure the size for you and give it to you tomorrow." You send the door."

Chi Heng followed Matthew Terry into the warehouse, chose a door that looked pleasing to the eye, agreed on a time, paid a deposit of 50 dollars, and then went to buy another hamburger set meal. After eating it wholeheartedly, he drove return.

When we returned to the old house next to Lake Shea, it was already 01:30 in the afternoon. Chi Heng parked the pickup truck on the side of the road. There was only this house nearby, so there was no need to worry about finding the way.

"This fence also needs to be repaired... Come on, I really want to live here for a long time?"

With a self-deprecating smile, Chi Heng felt that there was no need to buy a new one even for the gate, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Stepping into the yard, Chi Heng carefully surveyed the surrounding environment, and walked around the old house. He felt that the place was secluded and secluded, with a beautiful environment. There was a lake not far away, and it was really nice to be able to fish occasionally.

"Is it really possible to live here for a long time?"

Chi Heng squeezed his chin and thought about this question carefully, but he quickly shook his head and vetoed it. He was still young, only 23 years old, and needed to go to a big city to find opportunities to make a living. This poor place can be used for retirement, but for a young In terms of people, how do you find a job in this small town?
His [-] dollars, if he saves some money, is just sitting on the mountain and eating nothing. He must have a job, but there are not many job opportunities in this small town, and there are only a handful of good jobs. It is not his turn. outsider.

At this time, there was no one around. Chi Heng took out a flashlight, walked into the house through the collapsed door, and turned on the lights. The dim lights formed a sharp contrast with the outside environment. It was so bright that he was not used to it.

But at this time, he didn't care about so much, he walked to the door of the basement, raised his wrist, and sure enough, the electronic watch activated the arrow again, pointing directly at the door of the basement.

Chi Heng tried to push the door, but he didn't. The door seemed to be locked.

And... weird?
The door of this old house is an ordinary decayed wooden door, but the basement door looks like a wooden door, but it is actually a very hard iron door disguised by paint?

He froze for a moment, if it was a normal situation, he would at most mutter and wonder, but looking at the electronic watch in his hand, Chi Heng felt that there must be something wrong with it.

"It seems that we need to find a tool to break the door... Well, can we invite a lockpicker?"

Chi Heng scratched his head with his right hand, and subconsciously pushed the door with a flashlight in his left hand, but he didn't expect that he pushed the door hard with his right hand just now and there was no movement. Around, a blue arc appeared, and the arrow instantly turned into a √, the door lock had the sound of mechanical gears, and the door suddenly clicked back.

Chi Heng, who was in a daze, was at a loss.

what's the situation?
Can the electronic watch still open the door?

This situation was indeed beyond his expectation. He stood there for a moment, holding a flashlight and shining it inward. It seemed that the flashlight was no longer needed. After the door opened, what appeared in front of him was not a staircase, but an elevator. There are lights inside.

It's getting more and more outrageous!

In an old house, there is an elevator leading to the basement?
How much will this cost?

Chi Heng became more and more confused about his own uncle. The face of the uncle who was clearly visible in his memory seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, and he could no longer see the specific facial details clearly.

Chi Heng raised his leg, hesitated for a while, and walked into the elevator.

After entering, there was no elevator button, the door slowly closed automatically, and the elevator, or the lifting platform, began to run and descend. With a whining sound, it descended about four or five meters and came to the basement.

"This?"

The lights in the basement are not particularly bright. Some orange and red lights are installed on the walls, forming a staggered and psychedelic color. To his surprise, the walls in the basement are covered with Perforation boards and tools, various types of wrenches, such as open-end wrenches, adjustable wrenches, socket wrenches, hexagonal wrenches, screwdrivers, scissors, pliers, needle-nose pliers, files, hammers, taps, hacksaws , electric rivet guns, etc., it's almost like a hardware store.

In addition, there are many equipment that Chi Heng does not recognize on the tool table. Just looking at the shape, there is a sense of simplicity and future that far exceeds this era.

"Is this... a computer monitor?"

He walked over hesitantly and touched it carefully. The computer monitor screen was too big, and the screen seemed to extend to the edge of the fuselage. The thickness of the aluminum metal fuselage was as thin as a blade!
Chi Heng has very little interest, but he is a little interested in civilian electronic equipment. He has no money to buy those expensive electronic equipment on the market, so he buys some magazines to browse. He knows that the Samsung 172X, which was launched this year, is the top consumer product display, with a 17-inch The narrow bezel design of the screen looks very futuristic.

However, the comparison between the Samsung 172X display and the huge display in front of you is like the gap between the original steam train and the modern maglev train.

Fortunately, the display is still connected by wires, but there is only one wire?

He groped for the cable to get under the tool table, and found a main machine at the bottom of the tool table. key.

Chi Heng couldn't bear his curiosity anymore, and gently pressed the power button with his index finger.
