Shadow of Deep Space

Chapter 28 Silence
After hearing this, Zhao Ning also spoke to Su Ming with red eyes.

"Your father has been summoned for investigation."

"why?"

"This time, the chirami larvae outbreak occurred in the garbage dump at home, and it was not reported in time."

"No way? What should we do, mother? This incident is so serious."

Su Ming was also speechless. It turned out that this disaster broke out from his own family business.

"It's okay, dear son. I'll call the old man later."

Zhao Ning hurriedly comforted Su Ming.

"Old man?"

Su Ming's body trembled instinctively, and then an angry face appeared in his mind.

For a moment, Su Ming's expression became a little unnatural. The old man was his grandfather, the current head of the Su family. His temper and personality were extremely violent and arrogant.

It can be said that there is no one in the entire Su family who is not afraid of him.

The last time Su Ming saw him was three years ago. At that time, the old man celebrated his 200th birthday. He was almost scared to death by his own body, which left him with a big psychological trauma.

"Yeah, just tell the old man and it should be fine, so don't worry."

"Ah."

Su Ming thought about it for a while, and then he felt relieved. If the old man was willing to help, there shouldn't be any problem.

"By the way, son, is your school on holiday now?"

Zhao Ning asked immediately.

"Yes, the school asked us to go home and study on our own."

"That's great, son, you should stay home safely. It's not safe outside now."

It just so happened that Zhao Ning didn't want Su Ming to go to school. Her husband had already been taken away. If something happened to Su Ming again, she would really have no time to live.

"That won't work. We still have to take the city exam next."

Su Ming replied with a headache.

"Don't worry about the city exam. Just stay home and I'll make you something delicious to calm you down. You must have been scared yesterday, right?"

Zhao Ning pulled Su Ming towards the house.

Three days later, early morning.

After Su Ming finished doing 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups intermittently, he took a hot bath, changed into loose clothes, and walked down the spiral staircase.

In the hall, Chen Hui saw Su Ming coming down, and immediately walked up to him and asked respectfully.

"Master, you are up. Breakfast is ready for you."

"Well, where's my mother?"

Su Ming turned his head and looked around the hall, but did not see Zhao Ning.

"My wife left very early. When she left, she specifically asked me to prepare breakfast for you, saying that you have been working too hard recently and have lost weight."

Su Ming took a look at the table full of meat and a plate of green vegetables, and felt a little touched.

"I understand, go and do your work."

"Okay, Master."

Chen Hui left after saying this.

Su Ming walked to the dining table and turned on the projection TV.

He picked up the vegetables with chopsticks and ate while watching TV.

At this time, the news was being broadcast on TV, and a female reporter in a blue business suit was standing on the street reporting.

"Dear citizens, regarding the Chirami invasion in District 13, the District 13 guards responded with lightning speed and have completely eliminated all the Chirami. It is safe now. All blockades have also been officially announced to be lifted, and residents can travel freely."

Su Ming read the report and fell into deep thought.

He has been looking through the books and review materials from the past two years these days, but the result of his review is not ideal and his efficiency is really too low.

Now that the city exam is approaching, time is very tight. It seems that I can only go to Teacher Tang Yan for help.

Thinking of this, Su Ming stood up and left.

A moment later, Su Ming was walking on a wide road. The road was deserted. Apart from teams of patrolling soldiers, there were almost no pedestrians.

Most of the shops on both sides were closed, with signs saying "Suspended Business" hanging on them, and only a few shops were still open. From this, it can be seen that the situation in District 13 is still very tense.

But Su Ming didn't care. He trotted towards Teacher Tang Yan's house.

More than an hour later, Su Ming arrived at the gate of the community where Teacher Tang Yan lived, panting.

Just as he was about to walk in, he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Su Ming."

Su Ming turned his head back in surprise, and saw Mingke and Chen Tong. He also asked in surprise.

"Why are you here?"

"Don't look at me. He and I are not of the same kind. We just bumped into each other by chance."

Chen Tong snorted coldly and distanced himself from Mingke in disgust.

Mingke didn't care either, he explained worriedly.

"We are here to see Teacher Tang. The city exam is coming up, and we can't study at home during the holidays."

"I think so too. Let's go find the teacher."

Su Ming didn't say much.

The three of them walked in together and soon arrived at the teacher's house. Mingke immediately went forward and knocked on the door.

dong dong~
The door opened quickly. Su Ming and the other two were about to say hello, but they were stunned when they saw the person who opened the door.

"Zhao Ran?"

"Squad leader, you guys are here too, come in quickly."

Zhao Ran was also a little surprised.

Su Ming and the other two walked into the house and saw a dozen or so classmates sitting in the narrow living room. The three Huangmao guys were also there.

It can be seen that not everyone in the class has given up, and there are still many people working hard.

"You guys are here too, find a place to sit. If you really can't find a place, just sit on the floor."

Tang Yan walked out with sunken eyes and a decadent look on his face, holding a cup of water.

"Teacher, what's wrong? You feel depressed again?"

Su Ming asked Ming Ke in a low voice.

Mingke lowered his voice and replied to Su Ming with a heavy heart.

"Yesterday, the school held a memorial service to commemorate the deceased, and the teacher attended as a receptionist."

"How come I didn't know? And you didn't inform me?"

"How could we possibly notify you? We only called the families of the dead students. Do you know how many people died in our class?"

"several?"

"Eleven people died in our class, and countless casualties were reported throughout the school. We dare not disclose the figures."

When Su Ming heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He knew the situation was bad, but he didn't expect it to be this bad.

"You can do it yourself."

After Teacher Tang Yan put the water on the table, he sat down on the sofa dejectedly.

Su Ming and the others didn't know how to start, and the atmosphere in the room seemed very depressing.

At this time Mingke took a deep breath and said to Teacher Tang Yan.

"Teacher, the city exam is coming soon. The school is now closed and we are studying at home. However, we are not prepared at all. We cannot do it on our own. We are still a long way from the Imperial Court Academy. Please help us."

"The monitor is right. Teacher, please help us."

Zhao Ran and others followed suit.

"Alas, after what happened a few days ago, I have let it go. The Imperial Court Academy and the quota are not important anymore. What's important is to stay alive, so you don't have to be so persistent in applying for the Imperial Court Academy."

Tang Yan sighed, raised his head and spoke to everyone.

"."

Zhao Ran and others were also silent.
