Chapter 388: Just Ask If You’re Afraid (Bonus Update)
It wasn’t until the armed helicopters landed on the rooftops of each building that people in the dormitory dared to stick their heads out and sneak a look at the situation outside.
Many were terrified, yet somewhat excited at the same time.
Today, they truly got a glimpse of the world.
Even though before the battle ended, very few dared to stick their heads out.
It was only when everyone sneaked a peek that they realized the lights in the direction of the laboratory building were completely out.
In the dim light, they could only see many silhouettes moving quickly, with no idea of what was going on.
The original videos recorded by a few reckless guys were just about to be shown to other colleagues, but upon opening them, they were shocked to find that the videos had vanished unknowingly.
Whether they were saved, the parties involved knew clearly in their hearts.
So... there’s only one possibility.
Thinking of this possibility, these people felt guilty.
More than an hour after the battle ended, the site was completely cleaned up.
Just as dawn broke, the air was filled with a pungent smell of disinfectant.
The helicopters had also flown away, yet for some reason, the main door of the dormitory building hadn’t come out of security mode.
In the whole Candy Technology Park, perhaps only the little ones sleeping in soundproof bedrooms had a restful night’s sleep.
In the office, Mo Jingchun, who was talking to Qin Yuzhu, suddenly slapped his forehead.
"What’s the matter?"
Mo Jingchun spread his hands and said helplessly:
"Forgot to mention, there are still two guys in the laboratory building."
"Do you still want these two people?"
Wait a minute, does Mo Jingchun mean...
"You mean both of them are still alive? And entered the laboratory building?"
"Calm down, they didn’t actually enter the laboratory building, they’re in the ventilation ducts." Saying so, Mo Jingchun winked.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yuzhu understood.
Having seen the real construction design plans, Qin Yuzhu knew that the visible ventilation duct was actually an emergency escape route.
A few minutes later, the two guys were carried onto a vehicle.
Qin Yuzhu also realized that these two guys suffered from reading too few books.
CO2 poisoning, can you believe it?
Qin Yuzhu gave Mo Jingchun a deep look; she couldn’t believe that was the only safety measure in place.
"I’m leaving first; there are still many little bugs around. Since they dare to come, they need to understand that Xia Country isn’t a place anyone can come and go as they please."
Good heavens, with Qin Yuzhu’s deep gaze and what she said, Mo Jingchun truly felt guilty.
"Alright, Qin."
"You’re leaving, no need to see you out."
"At times like this, even a rabbit will bite when cornered, be careful of this group of bugs retaliating."
After Qin Yuzhu left, the office was left with only Mo Jingchun.
Though his stomach growled, Mo Jingchun had no appetite at all.
"Zero, send out a notice that the kindergarten is closed today, and approve leaves for any employees who need it."
Pausing for a moment, Mo Jingchun continued:
"Also remind everyone in the Technology Park to refrain from going out unvoidably for the next few days."
"Alright, boss."
Rubbing his tired eyes, Mo Jingchun headed to the bedroom.
"Release all the doors closed last night after half an hour."
Not long after Mo Jingchun climbed into bed, Zero sent three messages to everyone.
After a heavy morning rain, apart from the brand-new asphalt road, there were no traces of the intense battle that took place here last night.
Everything returned to normal.
Those coming out of the dormitory building almost all had dark circles under their eyes. Last night’s commotion was not small; from start to now, few had fallen asleep afterward.
Little Candy, who woke up naturally, opened her eyes to find her brother still fast asleep.
She thought she woke up early but when she quietly took her brother’s phone from the bedside table and looked, she was dumbfounded.
It’s already nine thirty. The alarm, why hasn’t it gone off yet?
Damn Zero didn’t even wake her up.
She’s already late for school!
The little one hurriedly shook her sleeping brother, her big eyes brimming with water, almost crying from anxiety.
"Brother, brother, wake up quickly."
"Boo hoo hoo~ Guoguo is already late for school."
Her brother slept like a log, took forever to wake up, making the little one almost mad.
It’s over, skipping so many days in kindergarten in a year, her cute impression is almost gone.
Mo Jingchun, woken up, groggily said while half opening his eyes:
"Kindergarten is on holiday today."
"If you’re hungry, there’s food in the cupboard. Let brother sleep a while longer; wake brother up at noon."
Without waiting for the little one to say anything, her brother fell asleep once more.
The little one pouted in dissatisfaction, muttering to herself:
"Kindergarten on holiday, no one told Guoguo, made her anxious, hmph!"
Wearing pink pajamas, Little Candy asked Zero to open the bedroom door to go find some water to drink.
Her mouth was a bit dry.
Upon opening the door, she saw Xia there.
"Good morning, Xia!"
Xia Xiaomin turned her head and said with a smile:
"Good morning, Little Candy."
Looking at the little one, Xia Xiaomin felt quite envious.
With Mo Jingchun as her protective brother, the little one had no idea what happened last night.
During class, on the rooftop, she’d only pinch her nose with a frown and ask why the smell was so bad.
"Meow~"
"Woof woof woof~"
Two little guys circled around her feet, while Candy, who was drinking water, rolled her eyes.
"Stop it, I’ll feed you now."
"Hmph, honestly, I haven’t even eaten yet."
Back in the bedroom, Candy fed the two little ones.
"Hmm, how come it feels like Little Grey has grown a lot?" Candy scratched her head, unable to figure it out, she gave up.
Maybe it’s because Little Grey drinks a lot of milk.
Whatever, it’d be best if Little Grey quickly grows up to be as big as Big Black.
That’d make them look so majestic and mighty, unlike now, just petty fierce.
In the security monitoring room, Zhou Xing reviewed last night’s footage only to find that starting from midnight until 8 a.m., all the surveillance was blank with no recordings.
In fact, the footage hadn’t been deleted, just hidden by Zero.
If last night’s battle scenes were uploaded online, they would certainly cause a massive stir.
If this keeps happening, who would dare apply for a job at Candy Technology in the future?
All laboratory research personnel were notified that they had a holiday today. Liu Hailong wanted to check the laboratory, but was stopped by security personnel at the building entrance.
Liu Hailong cared less about what happened last night, he just wanted to know if the laboratory’s equipment was affected.
These high-precision devices — any slight change could lead to massive deviations in experiments.
Glancing at the armed police hall, Liu Hailong turned back to the dormitory.
Going out was out of the question; as a core member of the graphene battery development team, who knows if someone is lurking outside?
