An answer that was not too surprising, I was relieved, but somehow, I felt a little lost in my heart.

I lowered my head and said nothing.

Xiao Yu was still the same smart Xiao Yu, and after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and asked, "Alas... A thousand, do you still miss her? ”

I nodded, didn't deny it, and continued to speak.

Suddenly, there was a rapid animal call, this time it was a mixture of at least four or five animals, and even if I couldn't understand the content of the call, I had heard it many times in a row, and I had some experience, and I could clearly feel the restlessness in the sound.

With this scream, not only Xiaoyu stood up from the chair, but even Xiaorou ran out of the bedroom rarely, and after she came out, she looked at Xiaoyu with a nervous face, in addition to panic in her eyes, there was also a trace of worry.

Xiao Yu said as she walked out: "Xiao Rou, you are optimistic about a thousand, close the door, don't come out!" ”

Xiao Rou solemnly agreed and walked to the door in a few steps, and after closing the door, she rarely twisted the lock.

It was the first time she had been so nervous since we entered the cave room.

Affected by their situation, I couldn't help but feel nervous.

I sat up from the floor and took a sip of wine to suppress my shock, and then asked, "Xiaorou, what's wrong?" ”

Xiao Rou tilted her head to the door and pressed her ear to the door, as if listening to the movement outside, and when she heard my question, she made a silent gesture at me and whispered, "Don't talk... There's a power outage..."

"Huh? Blackout? ”

I repeated it in disbelief, thinking I had misheard.

How big is a power outage? With such a big move?

Xiao Rou seemed to see my confusion, so she explained in a low voice: "It doesn't matter if the power goes out in other unit buildings, but once the power goes out in this building, there will be problems." We have backup power generation equipment, but it hasn't been used for a long time, and we don't know how long it will take to debug it. ”

Hearing Xiao Rou say this, I suddenly remembered that Xiao Yu said before that there is a special living environment specially prepared for those strange children in this secret door, and that kind of environment is suitable for those children to survive, and the stability of that environment needs to be maintained by electricity.

In other words, if the power supply is not available, it will be like the analogy that Xiaoyu used before, the heating and aeration equipment in the tank of tropical fish will stop working, if this happens... Those fish will die.

What if the living environment that sustains the normal life of these weird children suddenly becomes unstable?

I don't think the dead will die, after all, they can still run outside to play if they have nothing to do before, and it will definitely not hurt their lives.

But will something else happen?

Looking at Xiao Rou's nervousness as if facing a great enemy, I think I can vaguely guess seven or eight points.

So I started to get nervous again.

Speaking of the infrastructure of Binhai City, it is actually quite complete, at least in the years I have been in Binhai City, in addition to regularly turning off the lights and power when I go to school, I have not encountered a single power outage.

That... Thinking of this, I became more and more nervous and asked, "Xiaorou, is your backup power supply equipment good?" Regular maintenance? There are experienced technicians on standby 24 hours a day, and they can be started at any time. ”

Xiao Rou made another gesture of silence, and then whispered: "I am not responsible for this, but I remember hearing someone say before that it will take five minutes to call again at the earliest, and whether something will happen depends on these five minutes." ”

"Five minutes... Oh, that's fine, that's fine..."

I was a little relieved, but Xiao Rou still didn't let her guard down in the slightest.

Suddenly, there was another animal cry outside, and after the call, Xiao Rou also pinched her face into a strange shape with her hands, and a string of animal sounds came out of her mouth.

After four or five "words" back and forth with the voice outside, the expression on Xiaorou's face became more and more solemn, and before I could ask, she said to me: "There is a problem, only our community has a power outage nearby, which is deliberate." ”

I thought about the desolate environment outside the community, and asked a little suspiciously, "You... Can you be sure? There are not many other communities in the vicinity of our community..."

Xiao Rou replied: "Even the shopping mall outside the community still has electricity." ”

I have nothing to say, the broken shopping mall with no customers and no shops is so close to the community that there is still electricity, which can only show that this power outage is really too strange.

Next, the animal calls outside continued, and Xiao Rou acted as a competent "translator", and whenever the outside sounds were heard, Xiao Rou would explain to me in Mandarin.

"The children are emotionally unstable..."

"Zhuo Ye has arrived, he is appeased, there is no danger for the time being..."

"The generator set can still be used, but it is more troublesome to start..."

"Let's not go out, don't make a sound..."

"It's time to start the generator set."

"Not enough fuel? No way? ”

"It's okay... It's okay..."

"Wait!"

"How so? Not enough power for the generator set? Impossible..."

"Pumping?! It's over..."

"Impossible... It must be a coincidence, hehe..."

Xiao Rou suddenly stopped lying on her stomach on the door, she walked to me a little dejected, sat down on the chair, poured herself a glass of wine, as if she was very thirsty, "Gu Dong Gu Dong" drank a fine drink.

After drinking all the wine, I couldn't wait to ask, "Xiaorou, how is it?" What do you mean by those last words? Is the situation bad? ”

Xiaorou shook her head and said, "It's all solved, the children are fine, let's just wait quietly for the call." Believe it or not, isn't it a lot quieter outside? ”

I listened carefully, and indeed as Xiao Rou said, the originally lively animal cries outside have gradually subsided, and it seems that the panic just now has ended.

But then I wondered even more, looking at Xiao Rou, who was not in a state at all, I asked, "Since it's all solved, why are you still like this?" Your expression is a bit of a joke. ”

Xiao Rou shook her head with a wry smile and said, "Wait for Xiaoyu to explain to you, hehe, there is one thing he not only deceived you, but also deceived Gu Ye, although there is a bitter intention... But... Alas, I'll go in first, if nothing else, Gu Ye and Xiaoyu will come to you in a while, and then... Please help persuade the fight, I thank you on behalf of the two of them. ”

After saying that this confused me, Xiao Rou went back to the bedroom by herself, and let me call her behind her and ignore me.

I sat on a chair in the living room with a question mark on my head, thinking about what Xiao Rou just meant.

However, to my surprise, Xiao Rou also has the ability to predict the future, she was right just now, and not long after, there was a knock on the door that was obviously emotional.

When I opened the door, there was Lao Gu with an angry face and Xiao Yu with an embarrassed face standing outside the door.
