After landing, Zhou Tang and his table mates went back to their respective homes and looked for their own mothers.

It was close to noon when I came out of No. 187 Pingdi Building, and now I didn't return until the sun set, and the Wu Grandma next door shook her head and said that the world is going down, and the little girl of the old Zhou family has learned badly.

The little girl Zhou Tang didn't squint, turned a deaf ear to Grandma Wu's chatter, took out the key in the pocket of her clothes and inserted it into the door lock.

Before he could twist the key, the door was opened from the inside.

It's Zhou's father who works overtime and goes home.

Seeing Zhou Tang smiling, "Tangtang, go home!" Hungry or not? Didn't you eat at noon?

Tang Tang, you don't have to save money for your father, your father's work is for you to eat and drink! ”

Grandma Wu suddenly said in a loud voice, "Zhou boy, you should take good care of your little girl!" It's still in school! Dare to take advantage of your absence at home and enter a pair with a man! Hey, if you don't care about her anymore, it's just..."

Father Zhou stretched out his hand and gently dragged Zhou Tang behind him, pushed him back into the house, he faced Grandma Wu by himself, "I know Tang Tang's temperament best, and I won't do anything to go in and out with a man!" ”

Grandma Wu sighed and let out a long sigh, "Alas, don't wait until something really goes wrong, don't wait until something really happens, you guess you regret it!" If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you. You've been a colleague with my kid for so many years! I won't hurt you! The girl should take care of it as soon as possible..."

Father Zhou directly intercepted Grandma Wu's words, boldly admitted his mistakes, and couldn't just let people splash dirty water on his daughter, "It's also my problem." Grandma Wu, the man you saw in the morning is a colleague from our maintenance department! He helped me at work yesterday! I was grateful for inviting him to my house.

And because it was too late last night, I deliberately stayed overnight and asked him to rest at my house! Woke up this morning, and I remembered that yesterday there was another ... I didn't fix it, I didn't think about it so much, so I went out to work overtime in the maintenance department!

My family Tangtang knew to help me deal with the aftermath at a young age. Entertained my colleague and personally sent him out the door! ”

Father Zhou's face was solemn, with no doubt, "Grandma Wu, I respect you as the mother of the martial brothers!" I don't want all those rumors slandering my daughter to go viral! Otherwise, if I don't look for you, I will also ask the martial brothers for an explanation! You know who I am. ”

Father Zhou's words were to directly adjust Grandma Wu's face to a five-color plate, which was iron blue and gray black, and he wanted to teach this disrespectful person a lesson!

I have worries in my heart, if I say a few more words, I will find trouble for my own son, then she is really a big sinner of the old martial family!

As soon as Father Zhou turned around, he saw his daughter's eyes shining and giving him a thumbs up!

Zhou Tang's voice was neither loud nor small, "My dad is mighty!" ”

These words reached Grandma Wu's ears word by word, and she added a touch of red to her palette.

Father Zhou scolded with a smile, pushed Zhou Tang into the house, and took the door casually, completely shutting Grandma Wu, who had spent too much, out of the door.

Father Zhou got busy as soon as he entered the door, "My daughter is hungry!" Daddy has put the meal on the stove in the house! I'm waiting for you to eat it as soon as you get back! There are good things in the canteen of the unit today, I specially ordered one for you, come and eat. ”

Zhou Tang was as good as a stream, first went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and then went back to the room to take off his coat and put on his home clothes.

To be honest, the meal in the morning had already been digested by her! At this time, the stomach "growls" non-stop!

When his eyes came into contact with the dish that Zhou's father specially brought back from the cafeteria, he couldn't take his eyes off it, it was a bowl of fragrant braised pork belly.

The pork belly is authentic, there are five layers in total, two fat and three thin, the surface is reddish-brown, oily and shiny, and it is simply fragrant.

Zhou Tang couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and a pair of chopsticks had already fallen on the pork belly.

The brown and red pork belly falls on the white rice, and the two become a perfect match between heaven and earth.

Father Zhou smiled, what did he work so hard for, just so that his daughter could eat and drink warmly, and eat and drink without worry!

"Let's eat!"

Zhou Tang responded to Zhou's father with a "ahh

The two fat and three thin pork belly are not greasy at all when they enter the mouth, but melt in the mouth, and with a mouthful of rice, the fragrance arrives at home.

There were only five pieces of pork belly in the small aluminum box, and under the humble push of the Zhou family's father and daughter, Zhou Tang ate three pieces...

Zhou Tang, who had a full meal, also turned ruddy.

At this time, Father Zhou asked as if unintentionally, "Where did Tang Tang go to play today!" Why don't you go to the maintenance department with your dad tomorrow? The canteen of the maintenance department is delicious! You choose it yourself, and your father will invite you to eat. ”

Zhou Tang glanced at Father Zhou, and then said slowly, "I'll finish the journey... My uncle went out and wanted to walk around and relax casually, and then he ran into my tablemate, and when he saw me alone, he took me around at will. ”

"Oh, you're at the same table! Is that the young man from the Wang family? Wang Senren is still good! is that he is old and young, just like Grandma Wu and their family next door to you, he relies on Wang Sen to support the whole family. I was so tired that I didn't eat much. ”

Zhou Tang said indifferently and ruthlessly, "... Dad, what do you want to say around the bush? ”

Father Zhou smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing!" It's nothing! It's my daughter who has grown up! My daughter's business is my business! I can only care a little more. ”

"Why didn't you go to the restaurant on King Street to get something to eat? That young man definitely doesn't have the money to invite you to eat," Father Zhou slapped his head and hurriedly retorted, "Hey, look at what I'm talking about, our Zhou family has money, so we don't need him to invite you." ”

This Zhou Tang is not the other Zhou Tang, her mood is very calm, she did not change half a point because of Zhou's father's ridicule, but calmly reminded, "... Dad, tomorrow night after twelve o'clock, I want to hear the truest answer. ”

Father Zhou had an expression of eating flies on his face, and he was choked.

Zhou Tang stood up suddenly, bent over and bent his back to clean up the small dining table, and neatly stacked the lunch box for the two of them and the aluminum box with pork belly...

Father Zhou reacted, "Hey, you let me come!" ”

Seeing that Zhou Tang's movements were not slow, he hurriedly snatched the lunch box from her hand, urging Zhou Tang, "Go, go!" You've been hanging out all day, so go back to the house and get some rest! I'll wash it! You go, go ahead. ”

Zhou's father impatiently sent Zhou Tang away, and went into the bathroom with a bunch of lunch boxes.

Zhou Tang saw that Zhou's father even closed the door of the bathroom, so he chose to go back to his room to rest.

Here, Zhou Tang is lying flat on the single bed, thinking about the world outside the curtain that is said in the mouth of the same table...

She and she grew up in the underground space since childhood, and have never seen anything on the ground, but in the books they read from elementary school to adulthood, they always inadvertently mention the beauty and magnificence of the past.

This greatly stimulates their innermost desire to go out and have a look.

So what's the outside world like now?

Zhou Tang closed his eyes, and many pictures flashed in his mind.

Cheng Mu, on the other hand, was pulled up from the "creaking" and shaking iron frame bed in the dilapidated maintenance department staff dormitory.

"Huh! Cheng Gong, come with me! ”

Cheng Mu looked at the haggard man with a scruffy beard who pushed open the door of the dormitory, quickly turned over, and got out of bed.

He grabbed a coat and draped it on his body, and walked out with the visitor, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's... Something about the maintenance department! There's been a lot going on lately! What I discovered tonight is more urgent. So old employee, far away, the director asked me to find you, the person with the highest education. ”

Cheng Mu nodded, "What happened?" ”

The person who came didn't choose to say it directly in the dormitory corridor, "Alas, let's go to the unit and talk about it in detail!" ”

At this time, there were still people who came out of the dormitory room to wash, and when they saw someone coming to greet them in a friendly manner, they didn't ask why Cheng Mu was following behind...

The main one, I see, but I shut up.

The two of them strode back to the maintenance department, and the man directly issued the task, "That's right, there is a big problem with the canopy, and it has affected several curtains in a row, you go and deal with it first." ”

Cheng Mu didn't say a word, took out the toolbox from under the seat in the office, and followed the man to the maintenance entrance.

When I re-entered the entrance, I changed into a protective suit.

As a result, the man only gave him the coordinates of the broken curtain, but did not go in with him.

If this is for others, it must be as ugly as eating poop!

When it is repaired, only one person goes in, and two people have to accompany each other, to say the least.

This kind of maintenance behind the curtain is a very high-risk thing, and if it is not operated properly, it is very likely that it will never come back!

There are two people who accompany each other and can help each other...

That person's behavior was simply an illegal operation, digging a deep pit and letting Cheng Mu fall down, and he didn't squeak when he fell!

What others care about, Cheng Mu doesn't care, he even wishes he could move alone and find out everything about the people here!

Unravel the puzzle early...

The man looked solemn, "I'll leave it to you!" ”

Cheng Mu nodded and turned around and entered it.

There is also a light at the entrance, and the further you go inside, the farther apart the two adjacent lights become.

It wasn't until Cheng Mu entered complete darkness that he groped for the top of his head, and a pillar of bright light shot out from the top of his head.

He looked up to carefully observe the coordinates marked above his head, and then, according to the guidance of the coordinate position, entered the fork in the road, and headed towards the goal.

Walking and stopping along the way, passing through several "safety gates", it seems that you can still hear a lot of movements, similar to the sound of animals gnawing, or the vibration caused by the groundwater flowing above your head and around your body...

Cheng Mu slowly approached the coordinate point given to him by the man.

The closer you go, the louder and louder the sound of the crumbling and gnawing becomes.

Cheng Mu directly turned off the lamp he was wearing overhead, and he immediately remembered that after coming to this copy, he would flip through the books he had in his hand at will.

The maintenance department is mainly responsible for the safe operation of the entire canopy, and the surface of the canopy is meant to bring scenery to the underground space, make people feel happy, etc...

But there is also a meaning under the canopy, it is the first barrier, it can withstand the attack of underground creatures, in the event of a disaster...

Of course, he has another meaning.

Cheng Mu retracted his thoughts, concentrated, and slowly opened the toolbox in his hand, trying not to make any noise, so as not to "disturb" these animals...

He pulled out the stick from the toolbox...

With his hands clenched tightly, he dared to continue to discredit and move forward.

After walking about thirty steps, five or six pairs of green eyes were opposite him, and his body was much faster than his brain.

Directly hit it with a stick, and the sharp cry instantly spread throughout this passage...

Without any hesitation, Cheng Mu continued to raise his stick and wave it in a rather narrow space, stick after stick, and none of them missed.

After a dozen or so slashes and smashes, only desperate wails remained in this section of the passage.

Cheng Mu stood up straight and slowly stretched out his hand to turn on the light above his head.

A white lamppost illuminates this small passageway.

I saw the bodies of five unknown animals lying on the ground of the passage.

Cheng Mu saw that there were still wheezing animals, and without any hesitation, he stepped forward with a stick and gave another stick to ensure that they had no possibility of getting up again.

After doing all this, he slowly relaxed, staring at these strange creatures.

Because he came from the interstellar alliance era in the distant future, he didn't know anything about the animals that lived on the ancient blue star...

It's just that even so, Cheng Mu vaguely found something unusual.

These animals have their fangs bulging, their eyes are bloodshot, some have five legs, some have six legs, but some of these legs are short and weak at first glance, just decoration...

There is also the hair on the animal's body, one bald on the left, one bald on the right, the fur and the dried black blood are glued together, it is really ugly and indescribable...

The strange form of these animals made Cheng Mu believe that something must have happened to them, prompting them to undergo a terrible mutation.

It's no wonder that the employees of the maintenance department are generally reluctant to come to the corridor behind the curtain to do repairs.

Even if three or five people come at a time, if they are defenseless, oh, it should be said that on the basis of their own absolute force, they will definitely be injured.

Cheng Mu took his eyes off these dead animals, leaving only the residual warmth of their bodies, and looked behind the canopy with the bright light above his head.

The metal structure behind the canopy was gnawed beyond recognition, and it was no wonder that the reaction to the canopy was several pieces dark.

Thinking of this, Cheng Mu decided to return to the location where he dropped the toolbox not far from here, take the toolbox, and use professional equipment to detect the damage after being eaten by animals.

But when Cheng Mu returned to this place, two of the five miserable animal carcasses had disappeared.

Cheng Mu immediately entered the state of preparation again, his eyes roamed around the passage, and finally his eyes fixed on an inconspicuous hole.

Not far from here, there is a cave dug out by these five animals, the cave is not big, Cheng Mu compares in his heart, he can burrow his head into it.

Five animals came here through dug holes, and what animal was the one that dragged the two carcasses away?

Thinking of this, Cheng Mu first used the tools at hand to seal the hole.

Then he turned his gaze to the metal structure at the edge of the canopy, most of which had been destroyed, and his toolbox didn't have so many materials for him to repair.
