Chapter 48: The Devil in the Window
At the same time, that coastal city.
Cold raindrops floated among the crystal-like buildings, and the color of the entire sky was coated with thick tongs.
Chu Zihang sat on his sofa, feeling nervous because his mother, Su Xiaoyan, was tinkering with dinner today in the kitchen.
Not long after, the sound of the meal being prepared came from the kitchen. Su Xiaoyan pushed a small dining cart out, with the specifications particularly grand.
"Come on, try it, the new dish I learned recently, squirrel mandarin fish." Su Xiaoyan opened the lid with great enthusiasm, and a hot breath emerged.
Chu Zihang was shocked.
Although this dish is still not very outstanding in terms of appearance, it is at least much more decent, which is a world of difference from her previous level.
"This is...mom, what you did?" He couldn't believe it.
"Of course, let me tell you the truth. Recently, my cooking skills have improved a lot, leaving my good friends far away." Su Xiaoyan proudly put her hips on her hips, her nose raised high, "Okay, hurry up and get hot
Eat, don't wait for a while and you have something urgent to go out again."
Chu Zihang picked up the chopsticks and tasted a few bites.
"It tastes great." He answered yes.
"Really? You didn't lie to me, are you good son?"
Chu Zihang shook his head righteously, his eyes completely unreal.
Su Xiaoyan immediately felt overjoyed, jumped up with a yes, then lay down on the sofa, concentrating on reminiscing about the joy.
After smiling, Chu Zihang's anxiety became deeper.
This time he returned to his hometown and visited his family was just by the way. The main purpose was to investigate the Nibelungen of Odin.
According to the discussion results of several of them over the past few days, too many clues point to the Nibelon root, making people wonder what is inside it.
But now the Nibelung root is under the control of the Chen family. They blocked the entrances and could not open it even if the storm hit again, so that Chu Zihang's investigation yesterday returned in vain.
Then there was nothing. This clue was blocked tightly. Chu Zihang sat quietly at home all day today, thinking about what to do next.
And then now, Su Xiaoyan suddenly became very excited and made a dinner... As far as the results are concerned, it seems to be pretty good, the taste is pretty good, not as dark as the dishes a few years ago, look
It seems that during the time when he is not around, my mother is indeed studying cooking skills seriously.
This was the first time he ate the dish made by this woman... Just this alone was inexplicably moved.
"By the way, Zihang, how long have you been back this time?" Su Xiaoyan suddenly asked.
"It's probably...it's about a few days to wait until the leader notifies me before going back." Chu Zihang said.
The reason why he is called leader is because his current character is an employee of a Nordic multinational company, which is highly appreciated by the leaders and has a bright future.
"I said, don't go back, just stay in China honestly." Su Xiaoyan lay on the edge of the sofa and looked at Chu Zihang worriedly.
"What's wrong?" Chu Zihang was puzzled.
"Look at how messy it has been recently. It's so dangerous outside. Turn on the TV. What are the words "doomsday is coming"? It's so unsafe if you have to go back now." Su Xiaoyan said.
Chu Zihang also deeply understands this. Through TV and the Internet, his uneasy and panic emotions are like a big network, covering everyone. Every day, someone will upload videos of extreme weather, like their coastal city that was originally warm all year round.
It has been snowing for several days.
Even a middle-aged aunt like her who only cares about entertainment gossip has begun to care about world events, which is enough to show that the situation is steep. It's like if the stock craze is so popular that even the old lady at the entrance of the vegetable market recommends a certain stock to you, then you'd better not use it.
Think more, cash out and leave the scene quickly.
"Mom, do you have any safer places to avoid them?" Chu Zihang tried to ask.
Upon hearing this concern, Su Xiaoyan immediately laughed: "Just just kidding, are you really scared?"
"If I say staying, will you go to a safer place?" Chu Zihang was still very serious, "for example, the inland area in the northwest."
"Really?" Su Xiaoyan was happy, but suddenly hesitated, "But this is not good. Your current job prospects are so good. If you quit your job at will, will your reputation in the industry be ruined in the future?"
Chu Zihang didn't know what to say, but his mother's reaction was the same as he expected. She basically said whatever she thought of. She asked you to avoid it the moment before, and then care about your future the next moment. It is true that it is difficult to take into account both the beginning and the end.
"Just treat it as a vacation, I can communicate with my leaders. The world has not been peaceful recently, and many colleagues have worked remotely at home." Chu Zihang adjusted his strategy.
"Really? That's great. When your dad comes back in the evening, let's discuss where to go next." Su Xiaoyan was very happy.
Chu Zihang had no choice but to smile.
The proposal to take refuge is true.
The Executive Department has a mechanism to protect the family of members. This mechanism is currently being launched on a large scale. Many members of the Executive Department are sending their families to designated shelters.
If the situation worsens again in the next period of time and he has to go to the battlefield immediately, then a Cassel graduate with a low bloodline and reclusive life in a corner of society will appear and take her to a designated shelter according to the above instructions.
, of course, there is also "Dad".
Sorry, this family trip will not have his own place.
"I'm done." Chu Zihang put down his chopsticks.
In front of him was a dish that was eaten clean, not only the squirrel mandarin fish, but also various other side dishes, and even the water in the kettle was drunk.
He didn't know how many times he could eat such a dinner, so he ate very hard.
"Okay, I'll take a look at the variety show with me after I finish washing the tableware." Su Xiaoyan was very satisfied with the resolution rate of this dinner.
The sound of running water came from the kitchen. Chu Zihang lay on the sofa at home, watching the news channel tonight, which was broadcasting the ice and snow disaster in South Africa, and the night of the snow disaster, many coastlines were along the coast.
The residents all heard the ghostly sing of whales like sirens.
It was Leviathan. Not long ago, the Academy completed a blockade against it in that generation area, but unfortunately it had little effect.
It is gradually approaching Asia...close to the Pacific Ocean.
"Zihang..."
A vain and familiar voice sounded behind him, as far away as it came from the end of a heavy rain.
"Dad?" Chu Zihang turned his head in a panic, and the word dad subconsciously blurted out.
That's his voice!
"Is Tianming back?" Su Xiaoyan leaned her head out of the kitchen.
When she heard Chu Zihang call him dad, of course she would only think of the excellent entrepreneur named Lu Tianming, rather than the poor and alone Chu Tianjiao who was left with a sweet talk.
"No, nothing... I heard it wrong..." Chu Zihang's heartbeat slowly calmed down.
There was nothing behind him, only raindrops in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
But is this really an illusion?
He doesn't think so, especially at this extremely sensitive time point, anything beyond expectations may happen.
"Since I'm free, come in and wash the tableware for me."
"Here you come." Chu Zihang agreed.
Before entering the kitchen, he turned around deliberately, but still found nothing.
He stepped into the kitchen and pulled up the sliding glass door.
A few seconds before he noticed, the figure of an eight-legged divine horse wearing a blue cloak swept past on the floor-to-ceiling window leading to the courtyard.
