Upon hearing the blueprints for a nuclear gun, Ye Xiao's eyes lit up.

However, they can't do things like stealing!

This is right under their noses; if it gets exposed, we're definitely doomed.

Zhou Qirui continued, "I heard that he was one of the old-timers who was at the base from the very beginning, and he followed Boss Tang for a long time."

Zhou Qirui said, "Later, I'll see if I can get closer to him and find out more information."

Ye Xiao nodded and said nothing more.

The people in this cafeteria are a mixed bunch, so it's not a good place to whisper.

After finishing their meal, Zhou Qirui and the others had more than half an hour to rest, so they prepared to head to 1128 with Ye Xiao, wanting to go back and rest.

As they headed towards Zone 1, a pair of sinister eyes remained fixed on Ye Xiao from a corner, making him extremely uncomfortable.

But when he turned his head, he found nothing.

Ye Xiao frowned, looking quite displeased. He had already guessed that it was probably that guy from the cafeteria.

However, this guy is acting suspiciously, and who knows what kind of trouble he's up to.

Back in 1128, Ye Xiao told Lan Ling about the blueprints. She seemed unusually excited, as if she was already itching to get started and just waiting for the evening.

However, Ye Xiao quickly dismissed the other party's idea.

Although the factory area has ventilation ducts, it and Zone 3 are the only two places Ye Xiao knows that have cameras.

Even if Lanling could tamper with the camera, it would be easy for her to be exposed.

Today seemed to go smoothly, except for hearing that the rain outside was getting heavier, there was no other special news.

Night fell again, and Ye Xiao, just like yesterday, arrived at Lao Zhang's table at 7:30 to clock in.

Later, they met up with Zhao Huai in the corridor, waited for the lights to be turned off, and prepared to conduct an inspection.

Zhao Huai sat on a chair by the door, legs crossed, and asked Ye Xiao:

"Did you get into a conflict with that guy Sun Yihai in the cafeteria at noon today?"

"Sun Yihai? Who's that?"

Ye Xiao asked casually, and Zhao Huai, shaking his leg on his knee, smiled and said, "It's that idiot who fell to the ground."

Ye Xiao suddenly realized, "Oh, his name is Sun Yihai?"

"Who knows what's wrong with him? I don't even know him. I was walking along just fine when he deliberately stuck out his leg to trip me, causing me to fall down. How can you blame me?"

Ye Xiao shrugged innocently, while Zhao Huai sneered beside him, his face full of disdain for Sun Yihai.

"That old guy is only so petty. He was originally supposed to work the night shift with me, but he couldn't handle it, so he was replaced after you came."

Zhao Huai winked at Ye Xiao, "Our job is actually quite easy, as long as one person can endure it."

Zhao Huai smiled, a certain message hidden in his eyes. Ye Xiao immediately understood and spoke up:

"Don't worry, Brother Zhao. Staying up all night is no problem for me. There's no need for the two of us to stay up here together."

Zhao Huai was particularly pleased with Ye Xiao's pragmatism, and pointed at him, saying:

"You've got a good eye, kid."

"Don't worry about that old bastard Sun Yihai. If he dares to cause you trouble, just tell me."

Ye Xiao nodded with a grin, "Hey, thanks, Brother Zhao!"

Night patrol is indeed an easy job, but if one is older and the other is younger, the older one will definitely have an easier time.

According to Ye Xiao's estimation, Zhao Huai should be under forty, while Sun Yihai should be at least forty-six or forty-seven.

It's estimated that the heavy responsibility of patrolling and staying up all night originally fell on Zhao Huai, while Sun Yihai was the one who slacked off.

Now, a younger man named Ye Xiao has arrived, replacing the older Sun Yihai.

Since Ye Xiao was so sensible and perceptive, Zhao Huai would naturally side with Ye Xiao.

*Snap*, the lights went out.

Ye Xiao turned on his flashlight and pointed it at Zhao Huai:

"Brother, why don't you go rest in Zone 3? I'll go patrol a lap around the area!"

Since Ye Xiao had only just taken over, Zhao Huai was clearly a little worried and accompanied Ye Xiao on a patrol.

Ye Xiao felt a pang of regret. He had originally wanted to observe the workshop more closely, but it seemed he would have to wait a few more days to try.

At night, just like yesterday, they had to stay at their posts in Zone 3 to deal with any emergencies that might arise at any time.

The clock in the lobby had already ticked to past 2 o'clock.

The "pregnancy room" was quiet; nothing unexpected seemed likely to happen tonight.

Zhao Huai was snoring loudly on the sofa outside, fast asleep.

Ye Xiao carefully stood up, holding a flashlight, and silently walked out of Zone 3, heading towards the corridor leading to the workshop.

As a guard on night patrol, it was perfectly normal for him to patrol openly in the middle of the night, even to the point of being excessively professional.

Ye Xiao stepped lightly out of the small door leading from the corridor to the workshop. Just as he was about to close the door, he heard a slight creaking sound from the iron gate ahead.

Ye Xiao's eyebrows twitched, and he immediately lowered the voltage in his hand and turned off the switch.

The darkness in the corridor instantly swallowed Ye Xiao. He reached out and touched the wall on one side, finally finding the open door to the storage room.

boom!

Even though the other party seemed to have tried their best to be gentle,

The slight clanging of the iron gate against the frame was especially clear in the silent night.

A faint rustling sound of shoe soles scraping against the ground could be discerned in the excessively quiet night if one listened carefully.

The footsteps sounded like they weren't coming from just one person; they were somewhat chaotic and were approaching the corridor along the iron gate.

At the same time, a faint beam of flashlight shone along the right corner ahead, illuminating the wall of the corridor.

Ye Xiao carefully tiptoed and slipped into the storage room on the side.

Ye Xiao pressed himself against the door, carefully lowering his breathing. He didn't intend to speak up and expose them at this moment, since there was clearly more than one person on the other side.

At this moment, the live stream comments on one side also started popping up.

[Venus with a Broken Leg: Isn't the anchor supposed to be on the night shift? Why is he hiding?]

[Dark Night Shadow: The streamer's stealing is way too obvious]

[Hip-Hop Monster: I got up to pee in the middle of the night and saw the streamer's stupid moves again.]

[Security guard: If you've never been a security guard, shut up. You're all brainless.]

[White Fox Knight: The enemy clearly outnumbers us, and we don't know their purpose. What if we rush out rashly and they attack us viciously?]

……

The chat room erupted in arguments again, but Ye Xiao had no time to pay attention to them.

A dim beam of flashlight shone from the corner and landed on the iron door leading to the other side of the corridor.

Ye Xiao didn't close the iron gate completely; it was just ajar.

At this moment, Ye Xiao's heart was pounding, and he silently prayed that these guys wouldn't come closer to check.

Otherwise, we'll definitely be exposed!
