Wei Xiyin thought about it and walked into the main gate again.
Having just come in from the scorching sun outside, her eyes were a little uncomfortable and the vision inside seemed dim. She squinted her eyes and looked around. There was a deep passage on each side of the empty hall, and directly opposite was a staircase leading to the second floor.
I don't know if it's because this is where monsters are imprisoned, but it feels very eerie.
There were also guards on duty inside, and they immediately saluted her when they saw her.
Ji Yao's howling could be heard from time to time. The sound was so loud that Wei Xiyin could quickly identify the direction and walked towards the aisle on the right.
There are rooms on both sides of the corridor, and the doors are closed.
Walk to the end, there are two rooms on each side, and the sound came from one of them.
In the house.
The wooden windows facing the patio are open, providing a bright view into the house.
In the corner farthest from the zombies, Ji Yao was huddled on the ground pitifully, with the brush in his hand covered in ink. There were black marks everywhere on his hands, clothes, and face, and he looked very miserable.
Not far in front of him, the two monsters in the cage were pulling at the bars with their hands and roaring at him.
How could there be such a horrible thing?
Scarier than ghosts.
Ji Yao had been living a life worse than death during this period. That day, he was frightened to death and fainted. When he woke up, he learned that his future job was to observe the monster's every move in this room.
He was so scared that he almost knelt down to Mr. Chu.
"I can't do this job." Fatty Ji's eyes were red as he pleaded pitifully, "Sir, please find someone else."
He would rather starve to death.
Chu Yu was very calm when he heard this. "Master Ji has already signed the agreement. You should know that Zhang Dutou has been worrying about Master Ji all day and came to Yu for help. It's too late for Master Ji to regret it now."
The fat boy pouted and was about to cry, "But Uncle Zhang didn't say it was about guarding monsters. I'm too timid to do this job."
"If you're timid, you can practice. You'll get used to it if you watch more."
Chu Yu said calmly, "The research institute was originally a secret of the Wei family. It was secretly established by the girl Yu. It involves many inhumane secrets. Since Mr. Ji already knew the secret, he insisted on giving up halfway..."
He looked Ji Yao up and down, and said quietly, "I'm afraid we can't keep him."
When Ji Yao heard this, he thought, does this mean to kill people to silence them?
He was so scared that he almost fainted again.
Ji Yao quickly waved his hands and changed his tone without a second thought, "I'll do it. I was just joking with you, sir. I can do it!"
Chu Yu nodded with satisfaction. "In that case, then Mr. Ji will report here tomorrow."
To this day.
Ji Yao has been in the research institute for half a month.
From the moment he stepped into the house and was scared to death, to now howling when he saw the monster.
Moreover, Mr. Chu was particularly ruthless. He had to submit observation records every day, and if he failed to submit them, he was not allowed to leave the house. As a result, he was forced to stay at the institute to watch over the night several times.
Zombies at night are scarier than during the day. They dig at the cages very quickly and stare at him as if he were looking at some delicious food. The noise they make is also louder, which scares him so much that his heart almost jumps out.
Ji Yao thought sadly, when would these days end?
He adjusted his breathing, forced himself to stand up, took a step forward and tried to move along the wall to the desk to write the report.
Today's research records are still not found, and he really doesn't want to stay here overnight.
At this time, the door opened.
Wei Xiyin stood at the door, stretching her head to look inside curiously, and her eyes met with the chubby "little cat" in the house.
The zombies in the house smelled the scent of living people and became even more excited, making more noise.
Wei Xiyin was not affected at all. She pointed at the dark ink on Ji Yao's face and said speechlessly, "Did Mr. Ji drink ink as water?"
Ji Yao saw that the girl had finally returned. He immediately felt aggrieved, and his chubby face was squeezed into a ball. "Please make the decision for me, girl."
Make the decision?
Wei Xiyin said that she didn't want to interfere. What if Chu Yuyi was unhappy and went on strike?
She was silent for a moment and had to change the subject, "Ahem, I want to learn about the research institute. Would you like to tell me about it first, Mr. Ji?"
Seeing that she didn't respond, Ji Yao felt a little disappointed. He showed her the blank record book in his hand, and his tone became more aggrieved. "It's already the evening hour, and the research report that the professor asked me to write is not yet completed. Why don't you go across the street and ask Rui An?"
If he delays any further, he will have to stay overnight again.
The night was too scary, so he didn't want to stay.
Wei Xiyin was shocked when she heard this, "Xie Ruian is also here at the research institute?"
It seems that the blacksmith shop is short of people, and cousin Ting is willing to let them go.
Ji Yao replied honestly, "He came here a few days later than me. Mr. Chu said the research institute was short of people, so he asked Mr. Ting for Rui An to stay here temporarily. He said he would return to the blacksmith shop after he found someone else."
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll go check across the street."
The houses on both sides were separated by only an aisle. Because the houses were all closed, Wei Xiyin really didn't know who was in the research institute now and how many monsters were imprisoned there.
She knocked on the door opposite.
Xie Ruian opened the door quickly and was a little surprised to see that the visitor was a girl. She quickly stepped aside to salute.
I learned that the girl came to understand the situation.
Although she was curious why the girl didn't ask Mr. Chu directly, she still dutifully explained the situation to the girl.
"Miss, you haven't seen the new blueprints yet, right? The completed research institute has two floors and a total of thirty-six rooms. The second floor is currently vacant. The rooms on the left corridor are used for plant research, but Mr. Gong dislikes the constant howling from the other side, which disturbs him. He prefers to stay in the courtyard and observe, handing in his notebooks of observations every day to the research institute."
With that, Xie Ruian closed the door and walked around the research institute with the girl.
Her research report had been completed long ago, and now she and Mr. Chu took turns to take night shifts.
"There are eighteen rooms on the first floor, and half of them are still empty. For comparison, the captured zombies are kept two by two together. Currently, only five rooms here are holding monsters."
"Mr. Chu said that you need to make the decision on recruiting people. He is short of at least seven or eight recorders." In addition to zombies, some zombie animals also need to be recorded.
So far they know nothing about zombie animals.
After the girl and her friends left, there were not many guards left in the fort, and there were no monsters nearby. It was only after the brothers Cheng Xiu and Cheng Qing came back that Mr. Chu asked them to take people to Yongning County to find the two zombie pigs and the zombie donkey.
Xie Ruian said: "We don't have any manpower at the moment, and Mr. Chu is also observing the zombie animals."
Wei Xiyin: “…” No wonder Chu Yu is so resentful, he really has too much to do.
She nodded and said, "I'll arrange the recruitment tomorrow."
I originally planned to come back and rest for a day or two, and then start arranging the ore mining, but I didn't expect that there were so many things to deal with in the dock.
It seems that I have to delay for a few more days to arrange these things in advance.
