The yellow hazmat suit was conspicuous in the dark. Gao Ming pushed aside the two legs in front of him and peered into the monitoring station.
There were no living people, only indicator lights on the instruments flashing on and off, with a walkie-talkie dangling beside them.
"Was it you talking to me?" Gao Ming jumped into the room through the window and glanced around. The most suspicious thing was the corpse.
He must have been unable to bear certain things, choosing to commit suicide, which is why the expression on his face at death was so complex; it contained not just fear and pain but also relief.
He removed the rope from the corpse's neck, laid it flat on the floor, and uncovered the headgear. Inside the hazmat suit, he found a small mission recording device.
"It's out of power." Someone had deliberately written in red on the recording device—"Do not bring into the abandoned water network." The deceased was probably a newcomer who didn't notice this regulation.
