Chapter 13 Exploded
"He Kui, are you short of money recently?"
The colleague still followed him when he left.
"Yeah, not bad."
He Kui nodded, but had no intention of saying more. These days, you don’t even know who is a spy and who is a Mission Impossible. Who would dare to say these things outside?
It would be fine if he just complained about it normally, but if he said that he was pulled into the ranks of spies because of lack of money, he would be so miserable that he would not even shed tears.
"."
The colleague scratched his head, seeming speechless at He Kui's ambiguous answer.
"Well, if you need money, I have a way."
"Thank you."
Not wanting to listen at all, He Kui even quickened his pace with an expression that said, "Don't get close to me."
Faced with He Kui's stubbornness, his colleagues were at a loss as to what to do and could only watch He Kui leave with helplessness on their faces.
The rumor that dormitory fees would be charged was soon refuted by the authorities, saying it was all nonsense and that the design bureau’s welfare would not change.
In fact, if you think about it calmly, it should be like this. After all, they are one of the five major design bureaus. If they really charge a fee, the number of spies will probably increase again. As for whether the false information was spread deliberately, that depends on personal opinion, but no one will report it to He Kui.
A few days later, He Kui had just walked outside their accommodation area when he saw that one of the houses on the upper floors suddenly exploded. The huge vibration shook the sturdy chassis of the colonial satellite under He Kui's feet.
That's near his home?
After a moment of panic, He Kui saw the message on his wrist.
【Are you at home? 】
[He's not here. Where are you? ]
"He Kui!"
The clear voice of the girl behind him also relaxed He Kui's tense nerves.
Shihe was standing behind him intact.
"Are you OK?"
"It's okay. I just got off work today. What's going on up there?"
"not sure."
As soon as He Kui finished speaking, a colleague who had escaped from the side started talking.
"There must be explosives."
"explosive?"
"Yes, and it sounds like the equivalent is not low. It actually cracked the building. I'm afraid it was man-made."
The construction materials of this type of building are much stronger than the brick and stone structures of the 21st century. Even these structures could not be cracked by earthquakes. No one would have such an accident now. They don't have gas, and the electricity is very safe and reliable.
Man-made, that is, a terrorist attack?
As various sirens sounded, fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars arrived at the scene almost simultaneously within three minutes.
The scene was handled very quickly. The place was no longer habitable as the bomb disposal team still had to deal with other explosives. They were temporarily arranged to stay in a nearby hotel.
The hotel is just an ordinary business hotel, with only one bed in a small area and few people.
This was a bit unusual for both of them who were used to sleeping in separate beds.
"I'll sleep on the couch."
"No, that's not necessary."
Shihe didn't think they would have to sleep in separate beds forever, and today was just an accident. Thinking of the fear she felt when she saw the smoke from the explosion in the distance, He Kui had already walked into her heart without her realizing it. "I wonder if those Haro guys are okay."
The shy Shihe did not give He Kui the chance to continue to refuse. She looked out the window and changed the subject.
"It's okay, just make a few more."
He Kui also looked out the window as he spoke. That was where their dormitory area was located. Although the view was not beautiful because it was blocked by the tall buildings in front of it and he couldn't see anything, the idea of moving became more urgent.
Although their dormitories are within the factory, there are too many people who can enter from the outside, so security may not be perfect. It is very dangerous whether you are a target, affected, or visited by spies.
Although PLANT will definitely have corresponding protection measures, they can even install bombs on Speaker Klein's ship. Moreover, although there are not many B-level personnel, they are not irreplaceable. When security forces are insufficient, their priority of protection will definitely be on A-level researchers.
"I think I should go out and rent a house."
"But the houses with high security levels are all near the plant areas."
Shihe said helplessly that even if they gave up the dormitory and chose housing subsidies, the rent there was still something they could not afford. That was a villa. Although it was not as spectacular as Klein's house, it was still a villa.
"So maybe we can share the rent?"
"Rent-sharing?"
Of course, there are similar services. There are several rooms in a villa area, but finding a roommate to share the room with is another problem.
The two put this issue aside for the time being, and they moved back home smoothly the next day after the bomb disposal work was completed. Of course, there was no such thing as a vacation because of the explosion, and they still had to work. Of course, after meeting each other, everyone couldn't help but talk about yesterday's explosion.
The same words come and go.
"How was work today?"
When I got home, Shihe had already taken out the dishes. Of course, it was not as rich and knowledgeable as ordinary synthetic meat, which was supplied by the cafeteria here.
"I was asked questions over and over again."
He Kui smiled bitterly.
"Me too."
Before he could finish, the doorbell rang.
"Here it comes, who is it?"
There had just been an explosion downstairs, and He Kui was being extremely cautious. He watched through the surveillance camera and saw that the other party did not open the door.
"Hello, Mr. He, I'm your next-door neighbor."
"Neighbor."
After a moment of hesitation, He Kui finally remembered that the other party was probably referring to the family that originally belonged to Fengjian.
"Hello, who are you?"
"My name is Ash Angell, and I'm an aerodynamicist."
“Aerodynamics.”
"Yes, it is Jinn's research and development in the atmosphere."
Ash Angel whispered.
They are planning to attack the earth directly, but it is obvious that now is not the time for him to worry about it.
If we have this much time, we should build the radar first.
Although thinking so, He Kui still invited the person into the house and exchanged some greetings before they said goodbye and left.
