Zhou Tang was lying on the bed. The room was dark. If she tilted her head slightly, she could see the stars on the window curtain.

The truth unfolded before her eyes inch by inch, and it seemed more magnificent than she had imagined.

It's just that the turbulent undercurrent hidden under the water will drag her into the abyss.

At midnight, Cheng Mu also welcomed the director of the maintenance department and others.

Several people headed by Minister Qin came to the ward.

The lights in the ward were bright, and Cheng Mu sat calmly on the bed.

Naturally, Minister Qin first expressed his concern and affirmation of Cheng Mu's recent work performance, "Comrade Xiao Cheng! You have performed well recently! You are a rare talent in our maintenance department, and you are worthy of being from a famous family! All the disciples of Mr. Tang It’s extraordinary to have such abilities…”

Finally, the voice changed, "...The situation is critical now. There are thousands of people behind us. They trust us and put us in your and my hands. We can't let them down!"

Minister Qin also had a sense of sadness and urgency on his face.

With the atmosphere in place, Cheng Mu should say a few words to express his loyalty, "Minister Qin, just leave it to me if you have anything to do! I...ahem..."

Minister Qin sat on the stool in front of the hospital bed. His butt felt a little uncomfortable when it came into contact with the hard stool, so he moved uncomfortably.

He patted Cheng Mu's shoulder with a slightly affectionate gesture, and the expression on his face turned solemn, "I know the order at this time is to embarrass you!"

"It's a pity that the small team that went in with you has no more available people! Xiao Xu and the others are in a much worse situation than you..."

In fact, whether it was Minister Qin, Captain Xu and his team members, or even those in the maintenance department who knew the inside story, they all believed that Cheng Mu was extremely lucky.

I entered the canopy passage twice and encountered mutated creatures but was able to return safely.

In order to reassure Cheng Mu, Minister Qin also deliberately revealed some top secrets, "The mutated creature corpses that Xiao Xu and you brought back with all their might have been handed over to the superior department. After expedited dissection and research, our people found weapons to restrain such creatures... "

"Now you are the least injured, and you still have enough energy to lead the new team to explore the canopy passage again! Time is running out, and we can't wait any longer."

Of course, Minister Qin also took out the weapon of "promotion and salary increase" and said sadly, "The technicians of our maintenance department died in the canopy passage. We must collect their bodies and clear their names! Their sacrifice is worth remembering."

Under his promise, Cheng Mu nodded and agreed without any hesitation. He even sat up straight and lifted the quilt with one hand.

Minister Qin's face was full of praise and he immediately turned around and arranged for someone to help Cheng Mu.

In the dead of night again, Cheng Mu came to the canopy passage again.

Another group of teams with the same origin as Captain Xu’s team.

"Is everyone ready?"

"Ready!…"

Cheng Mu and others wore protective clothing and entered the canopy passage again.

This time the atmosphere in the team was different from last time and was more dull.

The lights overhead were like pillars, swaying slightly.

There was also the shallow breathing of the person next to him.

Cheng Mu didn't speak, but was still recalling the episode that happened when he left the hospital.

Doctors and nurses came closer carrying the machine he had seen Captain Xu use in the canopy passage.

Cheng Mu's eyes widened slightly. Minister Qin didn't say anything, but Vice Minister Wu behind him stepped forward to comfort him, "Xiao Cheng! Don't be stressed! Don't be defensive! Now we use the memory storage to be prepared!"

As soon as this memory was written on, it was like a reminder that Cheng Mu might not survive if he entered the canopy passage again.

This will also cause great psychological pressure in disguised form to the parties involved.

only! This is the request of the people above...

The deputy minister suppressed a series of thoughts that passed through his mind.

The people behind him quickly agreed, "Yes, we engineers will refresh our memory every year during the physical examination! Cheng Mu, don't think too much, just treat it as a routine examination."

Cheng Mu shook his head slightly and refused, "Minister Qin, Deputy Minister Wu, you have forgotten that I had a physical examination when I joined the company a week ago. It has only been a week..." Memory?

Cheng Mu was not willing to hand over what he had done in the past few days.

Seeing that Cheng Mu was full of resistance, the doctors and nurses were embarrassed and couldn't move forward.

Vice Minister Wu glanced at Minister Qin and was about to speak to persuade Cheng Mu to follow the arrangements of his superiors.

Cheng Mu chose to strike first, lowered his eyes and said, "I think my luck can continue, and I will do my best to complete the task."

In the end, Cheng Mu was still uncooperative, and Cheng Mu was the only one who knew the situation of the canopy passage and still had the strength to go there again.

Minister Qin and others did not push him to death.

After all, in their opinion, what Cheng Mu said that he had stored memories before joining the job was true, and besides...

They also did not think that Cheng Mu had any need to conceal the two encounters in the canopy passage.

……

Cheng Mu was thinking about it when his thoughts were interrupted. Someone in the team asked softly, "Comrade Cheng Mu."

Cheng Mu paused slightly, "Huh? What's the matter?"

In fact, before entering the canopy passage again, everyone had already communicated. Not only did they get Cheng Mu's personal experience and thoughts, but they also received suggestions from people who had sobered up in the previous team, etc.

"you…"

The man said half of the words and kept the other half. Cheng Mu turned to look at the man in confusion.

The man opened his mouth slightly and was about to ask a question, but saw the team leader reaching out to make a quiet gesture.

So I swallowed the words back into my belly...

The team stood still, holding their breath and listening.

An extremely weak voice reached everyone's ears.

It's the sound of claws scratching metal!

The squad leader was startled and turned to look at Cheng Mu in disbelief. As an experienced lucky man, Cheng Mu had a solemn look on his face. He nodded gently to confirm the squad leader's questioning look.

Cheng Mu swayed around with the lamp on his head, and soon the lamppost stopped and shone on the place where the coordinates of the canopy passage were recorded.

Cheng Mu whispered, "Our current location is not far from that place, and we still need to pass through two more gates."

The captain thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "According to what you said before, before you and Captain Xu and his team left, you moved... into the gate?"

Cheng Mu's eyes flashed with admiration. As early as the previous two confrontations with mutant creatures, he discovered that mutant creatures were extremely bloodthirsty.

The teammates they were unable to bring back last time were like delicacies that attracted them to pick them up all the time.

Those terrible, fearless creatures, he thought, had destroyed Zamen? Or...

The captain took a deep breath, made a forward gesture, and the team continued to move forward.

Another gate was opened and the sound became louder...

The sound of gnawing and scratching reached everyone's ears.

Some people in the team already looked scared, but fortunately the people in the team were well-trained and would not turn around and run away in fear.

As the team approached the next gate, the team leader stopped and whispered softly but with strong conviction, "Comrades! Behind us are our parents and relatives... we regard death as home! We cannot retreat! We will never retreat!"

"Hold the weapons in your hands! Let's go!"

The captain took the lead, put his hands on the gate handle, and slowly turned to open the gate.
