"Dinner is ready."
Chu Mu walked across the living room carrying beef brisket and cucumber, ignoring the tripod lying on the ground, and rushed to the small compartment next to the balcony.
Leng Si is a germaphobe and doesn't allow a dining table in the living room. The small compartment next to the balcony originally only housed a washing machine.
After Chu Mu moved in, he asked Leng Si to put a dining table in the partition and moved potted plants from the balcony. It looked quite realistic.
"Brother Si, you've worked hard during the day. I cooked a few more dishes. You should eat more."
Chu Mu placed the burnt beef brisket next to Leng Si.
"Xiao Shi, you're complaining of a toothache. Eat some cucumber."
Chu Mu placed a bunch of cucumbers with chili peppers in front of Shi E.
"Huh? Where's the umbrella?"
The aberration, having finally regained its human form, walked over weakly: "I'm here."
"Oh, your face is so pale, you need to heal it. Wait, I'll bring you some soup."
When Chu Mu placed a basin-sized bowl of wolfberry and longan soup in front of the deformed creature, the gloating smile on his face completely turned into a bitter smile.
"Drink it." Leng Si ate the crispy beef brisket slowly and glared at the aberration coldly. "Drink it all."
"Xiao Shi, why are you crying?" Chu Mu asked Shi'er, whose eyes and nose were red, with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No... cough cough cough," Shi Er wiped his mouth, "I'm just too moved..."
Chu Mu clapped his hands in satisfaction: "Then eat more."
Leng Si curled the corner of his mouth: The little guy is really the best to me.
Chu Mu was a little surprised when he saw Leng Si biting the charred beef brisket piece by piece, looking so happy while eating.
{Mumu, have you forgotten that dragons like to eat burnt meat?}
Okay, that was a mistake.
Chu Mu didn't touch the meal.
After the three people at the table had finished eating, he brought out his own food - a bowl of noodles that was delicious and fragrant.
"Well, I'll just eat something simple."
The three of them watched Chu Mu eat with such relish that they all swallowed their saliva.
Chu Mu felt proud.
Lao Ba didn't have the heart to remind him that the only one who was really interested in his noodles was the umbrella mutant, and the other two simply looked like they wanted to eat Chu Mu.
Lu Xiaolu and his partner were already living in a room on the 17th floor. Shi Er chose another one, and Umbrella Distortion chose room 1601 as a second choice.
Before going downstairs, the Umbrella Distortion whispered to Chu Mu: "Don't forget what you promised me."
"Don't worry," Chu Mu stuffed the affordable clothing gift bag that Leng Si brought back into his hands, "The fun will begin soon."
…
The few of them lived peacefully upstairs and downstairs for a few days. Leng Si still went to the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, but he obviously stayed at home longer.
According to his own words, he didn't want to be cannon fodder.
Chu Mu had heard his conversation with Fatty Yuan. It turned out that two factions in the People's Insurance Company of China were fighting each other. Both sides wanted to pull Leng Si to their side, but Leng Si didn't want to rely on either side.
He just wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers.
When the first freezing rain fell, the temperature in the entire city dropped by twenty degrees in an instant.
The superficial calm that had been barely maintained for nearly half a month was broken, and people formed gangs and rushed to shopping malls near their homes to grab heating supplies.
That day, Chu Mu had just finished steaming a basket of steamed buns when someone knocked loudly on the door of 1801.
"Captain Leng!" Fatty Yuan stood outside the door with an anxious look on his face. "Something happened!"
"Come in and talk." Leng Si made way and locked Shi E, who had heard the noise and was chasing after them, outside.
"What a nice smell." Fatty Yuan sniffed hard. "Mantou?"
"Hmm, milk-flavored steamed buns." Chu Mu came out with a plate of plump white steamed buns, "Try it."
Fatty Yuan swallowed hard: "This is so embarrassing, who can still eat such delicious food nowadays..."
He rubbed his hands, his eyes fixed on the steamed buns.
Chu Mu noticed that he had lost a lot of weight compared to when they first met, and he had a more accurate assessment of the situation outside.
"Eat it," Leng Si said, "a few bites from you are not a big deal."
"Thank you, Captain Leng!" Fatty Yuan grabbed the steamed bun and started to bite it, eating without any manners at all.
Leng Si frowned at him and asked, "How many days have you been hungry?"
"Hmm," the fat man swallowed a big mouthful. "Captain Leng, I finally understand why you're leaving at this moment. After that old bald donkey Zhang San ousted the leader, he made a complete mess of things. He concentrated all the existing supplies on the research institute and didn't even give us the food we were promised."
"The storage of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau shouldn't be so poor." Chu Mu poured a glass of milk for Fatty Yuan.
"Oh, sister-in-law, such a precious thing..."
"Drink if I tell you to," Leng Si scolded impatiently, "Did Zhang San transfer all the supplies out?"
Fatty Yuan slapped his thigh and said, "Boss, you're amazing! Zhang San said Haicheng is unsafe and wants to build a new base city. He organized people to plunder Haicheng's supplies and prepare to move to Gangcheng."
Haicheng and Gangcheng are nearly a thousand kilometers apart. Now that airplanes and high-speed rail are all paralyzed, the only option is to take a car. It is conceivable that large-scale migration is very troublesome.
Fatty Yuan found it difficult to understand, but Chu Mu understood clearly.
For more than a week, Chu Tian seemed not to care about Chu Mu, but in fact, there were spies from the Chu family on every floor of the community from the 15th floor down.
They would not expose themselves on their own initiative. After all, offending Leng Si was no joke.
Their only responsibility was to keep an eye on Chu Mu and prevent him from taking the opportunity to escape.
Chu Tian spent more than a week looking for Shi'e, but he failed to find the future strongest deformed beast. So he settled for the second best and prepared to go north to win over the future second largest deformed beast, King Kong.
Moreover, according to the plot that Lao Ba can brush out, a benign deformed person with super defensive ability will appear in the Tomorrow Base in the north, and Chu Tian must be going for him.
"Captain Leng," Fatty Yuan put down his cup, "Zhang San asked me to invite you. He wants you to be the pioneer..."
Leng Si heard the fat man's embarrassment: "Is it more than that?"
"He..." Fatty Yuan turned his gaze to Chu Mu, "They said that they wanted me to invite my sister-in-law to the police station first..."
There is no need to say what comes next.
"Brother Leng!" After a moment of silence, Fatty Yuan suddenly slammed the table and said, "Just tell me, if you don't like it, I'll stay with you. I don't even look down on Zhang San's chicken chop!"
Leng Si rubbed his fingertips thoughtfully: "Has the content of that CD been disseminated?"
"No!" the fat man said angrily, "Only a few of us in the technical department saw it, but before we could report it, it was destroyed by Zhang San."
The fat man was filled with grief and indignation: "Zhang San's son is simply a beast!"
