Too fierce because of caution

The factory is full of workers, about thousands of them.

An old employee only brought dozens of them, and they were assigned to different places to do different jobs.

Newcomers like Zhao Yi, who entered the steel processing plant on the first day, were assigned the simplest job:

-Weeding.

They were responsible for cutting off the rusty plants on a giant lawn in the factory and continuously spraying the plants with a medicine that quickly heals wounds.

Zhao Yi and two other ghosts, Zhang Ming and Ying Xiong, were responsible for transporting the rusty grass to the steel furnace.

When they came to the periphery of the huge lawn, the sun had gradually risen from behind the clouds in the distance, with the red of some half-cooked egg yolks.

On the lawn, dozens of ghosts took their tools and began to prepare for work.

According to the agreement, they were not allowed to step on other normal green grass when removing rust grass.

Once discovered, the employee's qualification for the selection of outstanding employees would be immediately revoked, and he might be directly expelled from the steel processing plant!

Therefore, these ghosts were very careful when working, for fear that they would accidentally step on the grass.

Their tools were of different lengths, whether they were knives or scissors, they were very clean and smooth, and could reflect mirrors.

The previous ghost was also among them.

Only about seven or eight minutes had passed, and the rust grass on Zhao Yi's cart was completely full. He then began to walk towards the house where the steel furnace was located according to the terms of work.

On the way, Zhao Yi carefully looked at the grass inside the cart.

In addition to the rust growing on the grass itself, what was even more strange was that the cracks that had just been cut also had obvious rust spots...

...

[Rust: Neutral]

[Note: What are you thinking... This is ordinary rust. 】

…

"Rust grows on the injured area so quickly... The rules say not to leave any wounds on the body surface, so the infectious factors mostly come from invisible tiny particles in the air, similar to viruses, and the skin can prevent the spread of this virus..."

Zhao Yi recalled his own rules. Several of the previous ones were trying to prevent the employees here from being infected.

This is not good news.

Any confrontation and fighting, or some small accidents, are likely to cause wounds.

Once the wound is exposed to the air, it means that it may be infected.

Once rust grows on the body... what will happen?

Zhao Yi's eyes were filled with strong interest.

Pushing the cart to the steel melting room.

Completely different from what expected.

The room is empty and spacious, but there is no oven.

Three conveyor belts are spread to the door.

At the end of the conveyor belt is a giant rotten human head, its volume is about thirty times the volume of a normal human head!

The mouth of the rotten head was wide open, and the sharp teeth were covered with rust.

Whenever something passed through its mouth, it would be bitten to pieces by these sharp and dense teeth!

The neck under the head was very long, like a highly contractile pipe, extending all the way below the ground into the darkness where one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

Zhao Yi came to the conveyor belt and prepared to unload the things in his cart.

At this time, an employee came over.

It looked unhappy, wearing thick gloves, and put all the rust grass in the cart on the conveyor belt.

"These damn rusty things every day..."

It cursed, as if it hated it.

There was a violent atmosphere all over its body.

Zhao Yi looked at the ghost in front of him seriously. When moving the rust grass, its arms trembled slightly.

The thick gloves seemed to be filled with something, and there was no dent at all.

He looked at the abandoned table on the side.

There were some thumbtacks.

There was some blood on it.

Zhao Yi walked over, picked up a bloody thumbtack, and put it in his inventory.

"Are these going to be melted too?"

The employee in charge of handling rusty items turned his head and cursed:

"Just melt them!"

"A few days ago, I don't know which idiot brought non-rusty things here, and there was no special mark, and they were put in a sack!"

"How many times have I told you, these sharp things that can easily leave wounds on the body must be specially marked and put in transparent air bags... Damn stupid things!!"

The employee cursed and became more and more excited, and something seemed to have changed on his body.

Zhao Yi looked at it carefully.

eyes.

His eyes were slightly puzzled.

Everything was normal.

But just now... he was sure that something had changed on the other person.

What was it?

Zhao Yi shook his head, pushed his cart away, and prepared to return to the lawn to continue loading rust grass.

The sun had come out completely, and the blazing light and heat shone on everyone. At this time, Zhao Yi suddenly felt that something on his body seemed to be melting.

Very uncomfortable.

And the longer he was exposed to the sun, the more serious the emptiness in his heart became.

As if... he had lost something particularly important.

Sweating all over.

He looked down.

He found that his shadow... actually faded more and more under the scorching sun, as if it was going to disappear!

His body also felt more and more thirsty.

Without hesitation, Zhao Yi began to look for a shadow area that the sun could not reach.

Because there were many factory buildings, it was not difficult for Zhao Yi to find such an area.

He pushed his cart to the bottom of a wall and squatted down.

Hiding from the sun.

The feeling of emptiness gradually returned.

He no longer felt thirsty.

He looked at the lawn in the distance, which was somewhat blazing white under the strong light. The ghosts were still working diligently, and their shadows did not change at all.

Ironically, a group of ghosts were not afraid of the sun at all, but he, a living person, had to come to the shadow area to avoid the sun.

"The shadows of these ghosts have not changed at all, and have not faded at all... Is it because I am a human, or because..."

Zhao Yi was puzzled and continued to observe the surroundings.

There were 56 new employees in their group, and Zhang Ming and Ying Xiong, who were responsible for transporting rust grass with him, disappeared.

At the edge of the lawn in the distance, there was a lonely cart there.

"It seems that they also went to avoid the sun... So now it seems that the rules that employees in charge of different projects need to follow may not be exactly the same."

Zhao Yi was silent for a while, and stretched out his hand to test it in the scorching sun.

The shadow that was so faint that it was invisible returned to its original appearance at this moment.

"Color..."

Zhao Yi muttered, his eyes fixed.

"Yes... it's the color."

"The blue uniform of the man in the steel melting room has become lighter..."

"When I went in, his clothes were already lighter than ours, and when he talked to me, his clothes became lighter again..."

Why did the clothes become lighter?

While Zhao Yi was thinking, a man came from a distance.

No one paid attention to him.

The employees working on the lawn had a lot of work today, and they were all busy looking for rust grass with their heads down.

If today's work is not done, it will affect their evaluation of excellent new employees!

Zhao Yi narrowed his eyes and watched the man walk all the way to the empty cart next to the lawn.

Then he pushed it away.

That guy was neither Zhang Ming nor Ying Xiong.

But a man... in gray clothes.

He walked with a limp, and it looked a bit difficult when he moved his lame leg.

It seems that leg is particularly heavy...
