His expression was extremely solemn, as if he had forgotten what happened yesterday and was immersed in his work.
"Okay, right away." Shi Ran responded, and then organized all the reports completed in the past few days. There was such a thick stack, and she didn't know how she completed it.
I admire myself so much.
After the two of them sorted out what had been completed, what was left was unfinished, and there was actually a big pile!
Tong Haonan looked at the unfinished pile, frowning and lost in thought.
Fortunately, Professor Chen asked them to go to Tianxuan College to collect data yesterday. Yesterday was a holiday, so they could complete it and submit it next Monday.
You can work overtime on Saturdays, and if not, you can work overtime on weekends.
Tong Haonan has already arranged this weekend for him and Shi Ran in his head.
Shi Ran was still unaware.
They took the completed report and headed to Professor Chen's laboratory.
Entering the laboratory, Shi Ran discovered that all the other team members in their large group had already arrived.
No, there is still one person who has not arrived, Zheng Chengqiu.
He's late again.
The last time I was late was for a psychological evaluation on Wednesday afternoon.
Shi Ran still remembered how he almost thought that he had failed the assessment.
At that time, Zheng Chengqiu was second to last and she was first to last.
Professor Chen separated the reports they handed in and put them together in a group.
Then started to look roughly.
At this time, Zheng Chengqiu arrived in a hurry and was sweating coldly.
He seemed extremely scared, but he had to walk into Professor Chen's laboratory.
Shi Ran found that his legs were shaking slightly, and he clearly looked extremely scared.
What is he afraid of?
Is it really because you are afraid that the work will not be completed?
Isn't it?
Zheng Chengqiu handed over the report in his hand and stood quietly in a corner.
Professor Chen raised his head and glanced at him, seemingly dissatisfied with the thickness of the report he handed in.
He put down what he was holding and picked up the stack handed over by Zheng Chengqiu. He looked through it casually without looking too carefully.
Then, he slammed the report sheet in his hand on the table.
"Snapped!"
Shi Ran was frightened by the voice and her heart tightened.
Zheng Chengqiu was so exaggerated that he knelt down!
Shi Ran can't understand anymore, is that the problem?
Isn't it?
"Professor! Give me a few more days! It's all because of Zhao Sicheng's unexplained disappearance that our team's mission has not been completed. Give me a few more days, I promise!..."
"Crack! Click!"
Just as Zheng Chengqiu was talking, Professor Chen crushed his head with his foot!
Brains burst onto the floor, and Shi Ran's shoes were splashed with red and white marks.
She quickly covered her mouth with her hands to suppress her exclamations.
No wonder Zheng Chengqiu behaved so strangely. It turned out that if he couldn't complete his work, people would really die...
Even though it was not his fault, just because a member of their team was missing, all the work fell on him alone.
Shi Ran realized more deeply that this was a strange world where everything could not be thought of using common sense.
Here, those who run a red light will be directly run over to death, those who make a fuss in public places will be killed by managers, and even those who fail to complete their work will be shot in the head by their leaders.
Almost immediately, the police arrived.
Undoubtedly, this must be what Zheng Chengqiu reported to the police. He hoped that the police could save his life, but it was already too late.
And even if the police arrive in time, they may not be able to save him.
Shi Ran looked at Dr. Chen who was smiling and shaking hands with the police. It was difficult to tell whether Dr. Chen was with the police.
In the end, the police announced their investigation results directly on the spot.
The cause of Zheng Chengqiu's death was normal. He did not complete his assigned work and he deserved to die.
The police put Zheng Chengqiu's body in a black body bag and took it away, and cleaning staff quickly arrived to clean up the ground.
Everything is back to normal.
It's like nothing happened.
Professor Chen had a signature smile on his face.
He glanced at Shi Ran, and then reached out to the report sheet submitted by Shi Ran and Tong Haonan's group.
After flipping through a few pages, he frowned, then calmed down and said, "Yes, you were sent to Tianxuan College yesterday to collect data. I will give you one more day. Today is Friday, next Monday. It must be completed before leaving work.”
"Yes, Professor." Tong Haonan nodded and left Professor Chen's laboratory.
Shi Ran quickly followed and left.
She felt that her legs could not move. She was so frightened that her legs became weak.
Zheng Chengqiu's death was too sudden.
What the hell is this place? People are actually killed by their leaders because they fail to complete their work. The police think it's very reasonable.
How many people will die this year?
Does that mean that if students fail to complete their homework and fail the exam, they will face death at any time?
How many people can live to grow up?
Shi Ran's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Tong Haonan. People who can live and grow up must not be simple.
Thinking of the large pile of unfinished reports in the laboratory, Shi Ran felt depressed again.
Even before getting off work next Monday, the time is very tight, and they don't know if they can finish it.
But judging from Tong Haonan's calm look, they should be able to complete it.
Shi Ran felt that since he was so calm, he must be confident.
She caught up with him in a few steps and returned to the laboratory with Tong Haonan.
As soon as he entered the laboratory, Tong Haonan immediately closed the door, then slumped down in his seat and drank a lot of water for himself.
He adjusted his eyes, looking shocked.
Shi Ran walked over, sat opposite him, stared at him and said, "Brother, we won't be like Dr. Zheng, right?"
Tong Haonan's panic made her panic for no reason.
It turns out that Tong Haonan's calmness was all fake.
Tong Haonan half-squinted his eyes and looked at her, then uttered a few words: "Not necessarily."
Then, under the shadow of death, the two began to work in a hurry.
Shi Ran was also very serious, and she didn't dare to fish or be lazy anymore. In order not to be killed by these people who were considered NPCs, she could only accept her fate and work for the NPC leaders.
At the end of the day, Shi Ran's mental energy was in a state of high concentration.
They worked until seven o'clock today.
"Work overtime tomorrow. These must be completed this week. If you can't finish it tomorrow, then you will have to work overtime the day after tomorrow." Tong Haonan said to Shi Ran seriously.
Shi Ran also nodded solemnly, fighting to survive.
After leaving the research institute, seeing that it was getting dark, Shi Ran quickened his pace.
Along the way, there were shadows of trees, and there were occasional pedestrians, all alone. Shi Ran did not dare to look at those pedestrians for fear of discovering that they were not living people, but dead people.
But it seemed that always, out of nowhere, she saw another dead person.
It was the clerk from the cafe across the street from the institute.
