Escape in the interstellar game world

Chapter 246 Confrontation

It has been five hours since the team entered the canopy passage, and the deputy director of the third maintenance department is still waiting at the entrance dutifully.

The escort at the entrance persuaded the deputy minister to rest first and would notify him immediately if anything happened.

It's a pity that the deputy minister is concerned about what happened in the canopy passage and refuses to move even half a step.

The sky slowly turns brighter. After nearly two decades of continuous updating, the sky's operating form has long been the same as the natural state of the outside world.

"It's daybreak! It's been almost six hours..." According to the coordinate information of the incident, these six hours were enough for the team to go back and forth.

Of course, if you add in filling the gaps and repairing the canopy structure, the time will naturally be greatly extended.

Also within a reasonable range.

The people waiting at the entrance suddenly heard a strange noise, and everyone's eyes turned to the entrance in unison.

The heavy door at the entrance was slowly pushed open, and a strong smell of blood hit his face.

The captain was carrying Xiao Jin on his back and a large backpack in front of him. His face was stained with blood and he looked miserable.

No one reacted for a while until the captain took two more steps forward and fell to his knees with a "plop".

This sound broke everyone's surprise, and everyone quickly gathered around.

"Xiao Xu, what's wrong with you?" The deputy minister was hugged to Team Xu, his eyes full of seriousness. The matter was more serious than they predicted.

……

When Zhou Tang heard the news about Cheng Mu again, it was on an ordinary Monday night after staying up late.

Zhou Tang, who learned about Zhou's mother's past, went to class for a day and refused the invitation from his deskmate. When he returned home, he heard the bombshell news from Zhou's father who came home from get off work.

"What? Uncle Cheng...is he in the hospital?" Zhou Tang looked surprised, obviously unable to believe the news coming out of Zhou's father's mouth.

After all, according to the Cheng Mu she knew, as long as Cheng Mu was willing, the physics on the ancient blue star could not harm him.

Although this is a slightly exaggerated statement, in fact it is almost the same.

Father Zhou sighed heavily, his eyes full of worry, "They secretly carried out a mission last night. The mission was not completed and there were casualties."

This secret mission has also become a hot potato, and few people want to take it over.

he?

Although he had some ambitions in his heart, his wife passed away more than ten years ago, and her life and death were unknown. He had to take the responsibility to take good care of his young daughter.

An anxious look appeared on Zhou Tang's face at the right moment, "...Dad, is Uncle Cheng seriously injured?"

After a slight hesitation, he whispered, "I want to go to the hospital to see him."

Then he muttered, "He gave me several useful books. As a person who knows how to repay his kindness, I have to thank him..."

Father Zhou thought for a moment and agreed to Zhou Tang's slightly excessive request, but no matter what, parents need to pave the way for their children in the future.

Moreover, it can be seen from this incident that Cheng Mu is no more stupid than ordinary people, he has a lot of troubles in his heart, and he seems to be very lucky...

That night, he took Zhou Tang to the hospital to visit Cheng Mu.

Cheng Mu was placed in a single ward, and a dedicated person from the maintenance department was assigned to take care of him.

The nursing staff recognized Zhou's father, and Zhou's father said some nice words. The specialist stepped aside to let Zhou's father and Zhou Tang enter the ward.

Cheng Mu was lying on the hospital bed with a weak look on his face, and his eyes lit up when he saw Zhou Tang following Zhou's father.

After Zhou's father greeted Cheng Mu for a few words, he heard a knock on the door of the ward.

Seeing Zhou Tang looking over with bright eyes, Zhou's father suddenly felt a little strange in his heart, but he quickly put it behind him.

"Brother Cheng, Tangtang is also worried about you. Let her talk to you. I'll go out and have a word with Lao Bai."

Father Zhou took out the cigarette he had collected for a long time, opened the door and went out.

Only Zhou Tang and Cheng Mu were left in the ward.

Zhou Tang sat down on the bench in front of the hospital bed, supported his chin with one hand, and said "tsk tsk" twice, his tone full of surprise, "Are you injured?"

Cheng Mu adjusted to a comfortable position, "I was lucky to only be slightly injured, but I was severely frightened." "Of course this is the diagnosis the doctor gave me on the surface."

"You encountered another group of mutated creatures?" Zhou Tang used his brain a little to complete the few words revealed by Zhou's father.

"Six legs, double rows of fangs, and blood-red eyes, this obviously represents the mutation of the creatures on the ground. They should also be grumpy and bloodthirsty! They attack humans crazily."

"Early this morning, a group of nine of us entered the canopy passage. Three of us died, two of whom were maintenance engineers."

The other two engineers died so tragically, he should not be alive and kicking, but lying weakly in the hospital bed.

Cheng Mu briefly and concisely told Zhou Tang what happened to him during the two nights.

Zhou Tang immediately thought of the shady malfunction that his deskmate discovered about the canopy curtain.

Time was urgent, so she also revealed the shady incident she discovered.

Cheng Mu nodded slightly and speculated, "It seems that if the problem of the canopy passage is not dealt with as soon as possible, it will bring about bigger and unpredictable things."

Those terrifying and ferocious mutated animals destroyed the passages and structures of the canopy, attacked the curtain, and even entered a peaceful and harmless underground space.

The trauma this brings is too horrific to even imagine.

Zhou Tang also realized the seriousness of the problem, nodded seriously, and then took out the relics belonging to Zhou's mother that Zhou's father had given her early this morning from her backpack.

"Is this similar to the little metal object you saw?"

Cheng Mu's eyes slid to Zhou Tang's palm. The small items in the palm shone with a metallic luster under the light from the ceiling of the ward.

He reached out and took the small object, put it in front of his eyes and examined it carefully.

Zhou Tang said slowly, "This is what Zhou's father gave me. It was my eighteenth-year-old gift. It is said that this thing was left by Zhou's mother."

In the passage, the captain replied to Cheng Mu, "He will live by our side in another form!" '

Cheng Mu nodded and confirmed, "It is very similar to the metal object I saw. It is probably the same type of object."

The things Zhou's mother left behind were sixteen or seventeen years old. In such a long time, everything has been updated.

Cheng Mu handed the metal object back to Zhou Tang.

There were some rather loud conversations coming from the door of the ward.

"Old Bai! How lucky you are!"

Zhou Tang quickly stretched out his hand, ran his fingertips across Cheng Mu's palm, and took back the metal object.

She leaned forward slightly and lowered her voice, "I will ask Father Zhou."

The voice outside the ward was closer and louder, "We won't make it difficult for you!"

"Brother Cheng, I'll leave it to you! I heard that Captain Xu's situation is not good..."

Lao Bai had already reached out and pushed open the ward door, just in time to see Zhou Tang straighten his body and straighten his back.

This scene fell in Lao Bai's eyes and made him think wildly.

There is something going on between Lao Zhou’s little girl and Cheng Mu!

He frowned at first, inwardly cursing that this little girl was now seventeen or eighteen, right? This Cheng Mu...

He just joined the maintenance department and is no more than 24 years old.

Even though they are six or seven years apart in age, they can still...

Zhou Tang naturally stood up and looked back at the person who came, and jogged to Zhou's father's side, "...Dad, I've finished comforting Uncle Cheng! Let's go! Don't disturb Uncle Cheng's rest."

Zhou Tang pulled Zhou's father's sleeves out and said, "Uncle Cheng! Let's leave first! You should rest in peace and recuperate! Try to recover and be discharged as soon as possible!"

This "Uncle Cheng" knocked the caretaker Lao Bai to a loss!
