“Tang, it’s time to clock out.” Rocky finished organizing today’s records and tidied up the materials before calling out to Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao: “You go ahead. I’m on duty tonight.”

“Huh? It’s not your turn yet, is it?” Rocky asked in surprise.

“Abercrombie and I switched,” Tang Xiao said casually. “428 just hatched, and there might be more changes tonight. I want to stay and record them.”

“...All right.” Rocky sighed. “Then I’ll head out first.”

One by one, the people in the laboratory left. In the end, only two people, including Tang Xiao, remained on duty. Of course, security personnel were also patrolling outside.

The two of them hadn’t known each other before. They exchanged a brief greeting and went about their own business, though whenever Tang Xiao looked up, he couldn’t help glancing toward the test subject area.

Unlike Bard’s laboratory, this project’s lab area was much larger, with the various functional sections clearly separated. For instance, Bard’s lab hadn’t had a separate area for 428, but now 428 was isolated in the test subject area, where the researchers normally working outside wouldn’t come into contact with him.

Of course, the main task for Tang Xiao and the other researcher on duty tonight was to observe and record data, so they would be entering the observation area. The duty didn’t require them to keep watching constantly; they could take turns recording data.
