Chapter Summary
When Liu Ning turned around, he was shocked to see that his door was indeed locked. The cat had another question: the people living inside were just ordinary laborers, earning at most seven or eight thousand yuan a month. Anyone who says another word will be kept awake tonight." These people weren't originally planning to get involved, but seeing the commotion, they worried they wouldn't be able to control the situation if something went wrong.
After entering the room, Liu Ning went to turn on the switch to turn on the lights, but after fiddling with it for a while, the lights wouldn't turn on. Why had these people turned off the power? What did this mean? Liu Ning's priority was to maintain stability, so he didn't dwell on it. However, some people around him were unhappy. They pounded on their doors, wanting to know what had happened with the power outage.
As they pounded on the door, Liu Ning remembered something else: was the door locked? When Liu Ning turned around, he was shocked to see that his door was indeed locked. No wonder those people couldn't get out. It seemed these guys had an operation tonight. If not, why would they lock everyone here? Liu Ning touched the thickness of the door. For some soldiers, such a door was useless; they could kick it apart with one kick.
But for ordinary people like them, if you could kick this door apart, it would mean you've passed the soldier's test. So it's impossible to kick it open. The cat had another question: the people living inside were just ordinary laborers, earning at most seven or eight thousand yuan a month. Why would such people need such a nice door? Moreover, many of the locks were remote-controlled, which are not cheap, costing around twenty or thirty thousand yuan each on the market. The people living inside had never seen such high-end locks in their lives.
"Shut up, all of you. Anyone who dares to make a sound will be thrown out right now. As for why we locked the door, it's because we're afraid you might steal things. You're all new here, and everything around us is very expensive, all modern equipment. If even a single part were to go missing, we couldn't afford to pay for it even if we sold all of you. By locking the door, you won't have to bear that risk. If anything is stolen outside, it's none of your business. As for the power outage at 8:00 PM, that's the rule here. If you don't like it, you can go out and buy some charging equipment tomorrow. But you have to obey our rules. This is so you can get a good rest and be ready to serve the soldiers tomorrow. Stop asking so many questions and go back to sleep. Anyone who says another word will be kept awake tonight."
These people weren't originally planning to get involved, but seeing the commotion, they worried they wouldn't be able to control the situation if something went wrong. So, one of them stepped forward to explain. Although everyone felt uneasy, they didn't dare say anything more. People were being fired so easily here; if they spoke up, where would they get paid? They'd looked at all the different salaries in the city, and none were as high as this place. Although they didn't know what they were supposed to do here, it was at least much better than other places. At least they had a single room to sleep in. In other places, several people would be crammed together, and the stench of sweat and stinky feet would be enough to make anyone faint at night.
At first, many people felt uncomfortable, so they cursed and yelled inside, complaining about the poor air circulation and claustrophobia. No sound came from outside. No matter how loud the commotion, it was as if the people outside were completely isolated; no one came to ask what was wrong. Liu Ning pressed his ear against the door; it was deathly quiet outside. No matter what you said, even if you cursed their ancestors, no one spoke. Unfortunately, the door was too thick. If it weren't, some people would probably have kicked it open. These were the resentful people among the common folk; they would rather quit their jobs than endure this humiliation. What was going on?
Liu Ning lay back down on his bed, thinking, "Let's see how things go." He had no idea what was happening, so he lay there obediently. After about ten minutes, Liu Ning noticed that many people around him had fallen asleep. In such a dark environment, with no light and nothing else to attract attention, these people felt extremely tired. Sleeping was the best way for them to relieve their fatigue, which was what they had come up with.
Moreover, many people were extremely scared, thinking that they would be fine after a good night's sleep, and that they would be able to leave after waking up and be told what to do. This was probably the first day's set of rules. Most people comforted themselves with this thought, but Liu Ning didn't think so. Liu Ning didn't believe that things would be normal tomorrow. Some strange things had happened today. There were no other houses around, which meant that this place was for storing menial workers. With so many people being hired every day, the area here was obviously not enough.
So Liu Ning had a bold guess in his mind: they might be going to harm people tonight. If they harmed everyone, they could clear out this place and continue recruiting. He just didn't know what methods they were using. Anyway, Liu Ning felt that everything here was eerie. Just when Liu Ning couldn't figure it out, he suddenly heard some noises from the ceiling. Liu Ning's hearing was quite advanced. Although he didn't know what it was, he felt that there was definitely danger, so he held his breath.
At Liu Ning's level, going an hour or two without breathing is no problem. If he enters a closed state, he could potentially go even longer. Liu Ning checked his system, and it immediately beeped. A small tube had extended from it, continuously spraying out gas. According to the system's analysis, this gas was all hypnotic gas. This greatly surprised Liu Ning. Were they worried about colleagues with insomnia? Did they specially prepare hypnotic gas for them? This was incredibly thoughtful.
