Chen Ci was invited to eat at noon, and Fu Tianhe, who sent him home, was holding a wrench and a screwdriver, dismantling a nerve adapter thrown in the trash.

Hearing someone call his name, Alpha turned his head.

Chen Ci was dressed in an ordinary gray sportswear, with the brim of his hat pulled down very low, and a black mask covering most of his face, except for his eyes.

But Fu Tianhe still recognized him immediately.

Chen Ci's sudden appearance was completely beyond his expectation, Fu Tianhe was down for two seconds, and quickly straightened up happily: "What a coincidence, we meet again."

Chen Ci didn't know what to say. He looked at the old sack at Fu Tianhe's feet, which was full of waste products, mostly metal parts.

Noticing Chen Ci's gaze, Fu Tianhe moved his body to block the sack, and put his hands holding the tools behind his back to hide the dirt left by the engine oil on his fingers.

The inorganic golden prosthetic eye on the right was still bright, but some kind of embarrassment was clearly written in his real black eyes.

Fortunately, one of Fu Tianhe's greatest strengths is his thick skin.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have invited Chen Ci to have lunch with a shy face after Chen Ci cleaned up the gangsters.

Fu Tianhe stood upright as if facing a trial, waiting for the next reaction from the statement.

He thought wryly: Maybe Omega will be surprised and say that he didn't expect you to be a scavenger, and he has to say goodbye to this big-tailed wolf before he has been installed for a day.

But the expression in Chen Ci's amber eyes remained unchanged, as calm as ever: "Do you need help?"

"Ah? What?" Fu Tianhe thought he heard it wrong.

The boy's eyes peeked out from between the brim of his hat and his mask were serious, without revealing the slightest hint of joking.

This was more embarrassing than accusations. He quickly waved his hands and said, "No, it's almost over."

Chen Ci nodded, and he stood aside, looking at Fu Tianhe silently, his clean and thin appearance was incompatible with the garbage dump.

It took Fu Tianhe a second to realize that Chen Ci was waiting for him.

He quickly squatted down again, grabbed the nerve adapter, used a screwdriver to disassemble the last usable parts, and put them in a sack.

Fu Tianhe skillfully tied the sack to the mouth and carried it on his shoulder. The sack was supported into a seven-sided and octagonal shape by the protruding parts, and it rested on Alpha's shoulder.

"I have to put my things down first. Do you want to come with me? It's not too far."

"Okay." Chen Ci responded softly, he followed Fu Tianhe, and the two of them walked through the narrow ravine in the middle of the garbage mountain.

This is a human-trampled path, full of various plastic products that have been trampled flat.

Fu Tianhe kicked aside the things that might trip over the statement, and reminded:

"be careful."

A few minutes later, the two walked out of the garbage dump, the smell of sourness weakened a lot, Chen Ci was finally able to breathe smoothly.

Fu Tianhe took the statement and turned left and right, and after going downhill, he came to a depression with many low canopies.

It used to be a cooling pool, but it was abandoned after the renovation of Cinnabar No. 13 five years ago, and quickly became a home for the homeless.

Many scavengers live here, and it has long been commonplace for people to come in and out with big sacks on their backs.

Fu Tianhe turned all the way into the corner, and greeted the skinny old man who was sitting outside listening to the radio familiarly.

Afterwards, he took a few steps forward, opened the heavy waterproof curtain, turned sideways and said to Chen Ci: "This is it."

Chen Ci lowered his head and got into the curtain that Fu Tianhe opened.

A huge machine tool came into view, placed in the center of the open space, surrounded by many scattered parts.

A few barrels of engine oil are placed in the corner, and many electromechanical tools are placed on the shelf. Colorful and colorful wires are trapped into a large strip as thick as an arm, and are connected to the outside along the corner.

Fu Tianhe followed in. He put the sack by the wall, rubbed his hands embarrassedly, and said, "It's a bit messy, I'm laughing at you."

He quickly put the clothes on the sofa aside to make room, quickly walked into another room separated by a waterproof curtain, took out a clean cloth, and carefully spread it on the old sofa.

"Sit down and rest for a while."

The cloth was very clean, Chen Ci sat on the sofa, pulled off the mask, exposing his mouth and nose, and carefully observed Fu Tianhe's residence.

There are half-finished things on the machine tool, the chips and circuit boards are exposed, and the oil smell is very strong.

In addition, there is a light amber woody fragrance.

Fu Tianhe quickly came out of the inner room again. He took the Alpha pheromone masking agent and sprayed it on every corner.

Gone is the amber woodsy note, replaced by a cool minty note of the concealer.

After confirming that the smell of his pheromone had disappeared, Fu Tianhe poured a glass of water and sat beside Chen Ci: "The glass has just been brushed."

Chen Ci took it over, holding the thermos cup with badly peeled paint in both hands, he stared down at the water surface, sniffed it lightly, and there was a smell of disinfectant.

It should be the water quality problem in the underground city. The water flowing out of the water pipes of Chen Nian's house also has a smell, but there is a specially purchased drinking water purifier, which is filtered before drinking.

Obviously, Fu Tianhe is not rich.

Chen Ci originally thought that this person invited him to dinner and paid for him to send him back, so he should have some savings.

When he came here, he realized that Fu Tianhe's economic situation was not as good as Chen Nian's.

I don't even have any money, so I still treat him to dinner...

The statement was straightforward: "Are you a scavenger?"

"No, I do machine repairs in the southern area during the day, and after get off work I go to pick up some parts so that I can make things by myself." Fu Tianhe scratched his head and said, "I am a serious worker, and picking up scraps is a hobby, a hobby."

Chen Ci let out a soft oh, and stopped talking.

Fu Tianhe asked him, "Why did you come here?"

Statement: "It's okay to be idle, go out for a stroll."

"This is not a good place to go shopping." Of course, Fu Tianhe would not be so affectionate as to think that Chen Ci came to him, but the unexpected meeting of the two made him feel happy, it seems that there is still a lot of fate.

Fu Tianhe took out the terminal: "I vaguely remember that you promised me something at noon."

Statement: ………

At that time, Fu Tianhe wanted his number, and Chen Ci didn't want to establish too many relationships while pretending to be Chen Nian, otherwise it would be troublesome in the future, so he didn't directly agree to him.

Instead, if the two can meet again, they will exchange contact information.

Chen Ci thought that the dungeon was so big, he would only stay here for five days, and the chance of meeting him again was very small.

Unexpectedly, such a small probability event was also bumped into by him.

Remaining silent in the statement, this is his usual trick. When he was still young, he would use silence to deal with all the things he didn't want to do. Others would understand with interest that this was called rejection.

"Do you want to go back on your word?" Fu Tianhe tilted his head to observe Chen Ci's expression. After meeting Omega's eyes, he laughed again and reminded Chen Ci, "You came here by yourself."

Chen Ci raised his thermos cup and pretended to drink water to hide his expression.

Yes, he was the one who saw Fu Tianhe first and took the initiative to go over.

"Okay." Chen Ci finally agreed, and he unlocked Chen Nian's terminal with his fingerprints, and exchanged contact information with Fu Tianhe.

Of course, he used Chen Nian's number.

Fu Tianhe happily changed the remark to "September", leaned over to read the statement and entered the three characters "Fu Tianhe" in the remark column.

After confirming that he had been saved in the address book, Fu Tianhe stood up and said, "I'm going to cook something."

"Have you eaten yet?"

"No." Fu Tianhe took off his coat and lifted the tarpaulin, and the voice came from afar, "Do you want to eat something together?"

"No need." Chen Ci followed Fu Tianhe into the kitchen. In fact, a stove was built with cement bricks, and various seasonings were placed at the bottom of cut plastic bottles.

The refrigerator is in the corner, maybe even older than him.

Seeing that Fu Tianhe skillfully took out the ingredients from the refrigerator, he said in a statement: "I'm getting paid, please go out and eat."

It happened to be the favor of Fu Tianhe's treat at noon.

"No need." Fu Tianhe directly refused, "If you can do it at home, let's save some money."

After a while, Fu Tianhe finished the work of washing and cutting vegetables. He cooked the vegetables quite skillfully, and signaled to make a statement: "It's choking here, go outside and wait."

The kitchen only had the simplest ventilation, and it was really choking. Chen Ci returned to the living room. He heard the sound of cooking in the kitchen, and walked to the machine tool.

The welded shelves are embedded in the wall, and there are many gadgets made of electronic parts, and the workmanship is very delicate.

Fu Tianhe quickly prepared dinner, and came out with a plate, and when he saw it, it was all vegetables, not a single bit of meat.

A strong and strong Alpha, just eat these?

Fu Tianhe cleared the machine tool out of a small area, pulled up the chair and sat down.

Chen Ci looked at him gobbling it up, and asked abruptly, "Have you really eaten at noon?"

"Huh?" Fu Tianhe bit the steamed bun, "Of course, I ate it in the unit canteen."

Chen Ci heaved a sigh of relief, Fu Tianhe only bought him rice at noon, he didn't eat it himself.Chen Ci was very afraid that Fu Tianhe lied to him that he had eaten while he was starving in order to save money.

It only took Fu Tianhe 5 minutes to finish dinner. He put the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen and washed them out with water, and greeted, "Come on, I'll take you around the neighborhood."

Chen Ci glanced at the time, he had been out for nearly four hours, if it was too late, Jiang Dai might be worried: "I have to go home."

"Now? It's really late." Fu Tianhe didn't force him to stay, "Why don't we take you to another place tomorrow?"

Statement: "Don't you have to go to work?"

"Coincidentally, it happens to be on vacation tomorrow." Alpha smiled triumphantly, "That's it, I'll wait at the station near your house then?"

The other party was too enthusiastic, no matter what kind of thoughts he had in mind, Chen Ci could feel that Fu Tianhe didn't intend to harm him.

Having a guide lead the way is much more efficient than wandering aimlessly by yourself.

Besides, he didn't dislike Fu Tianhe either. It was quite novel to meet such an enthusiastic person for the first time.

After Chen Ci agreed, he paused and added, "Take me to the most interesting place here."

"Then I have to do my homework tonight." Fu Tianhe was about to pat Chen Ci on the shoulder, but he quickly realized that Chen Ci didn't like others touching him, so he stopped in mid-air.

"Go, take you back."

Fu Tianhe sent the statement to a nearby station and watched him get on the train.

The bus started, Chen Ci looked out the window, Fu Tianhe stood by the side of the road, and waved to him.

Alpha is tall and tall, always has a cheerful smile on his face, and even the invisible fake eye seems to be filled with happiness.

Chen Ci nodded slightly.

Fu Tianhe's figure quickly disappeared into the night, Chen Ci leaned back on the chair, lowered the brim of his hat, and covered his face with the mask.

——If Fu Tianhe didn't lie to him, he is a worker with a serious job, why is he still poor like this?

Four and ten minutes later, Chen Ci, who returned home, closed the door softly.

Before he turned on the light, he heard Jiang Dai's voice in the darkness: "I'm back."

"Well, I met a friend and came back a bit late." Chen Ci turned on the light in the entrance, and Jiang Dai was leaning on the sofa waiting for him, almost falling asleep.

"Get ready to rest." Jiang Dai didn't say anything, he got up from the sofa, dragged his inconvenient legs, and walked slowly towards the bedroom.

Jiang Dai is used to Chen Nian coming home late from time to time, no matter what time of day he will make sure that Chen Nian is home before going to sleep.

If it was Chen Nian, what would he say and do now?

Chen Ci didn't know that Jiang Dai had raised Chen Nian for 18 years, but to him, he was a stranger whom he only met today.

The concept of family has never appeared in Chen Ci's life.

Jiang Dai fell asleep, and Chen Ci didn't waste any more time. He took off his coat and prepared to take a bath.

The anti-bite collar was taken off, and a faint smell of tuberose wafted out, making it as hazy as the night.

Chen Ci dried his hair in the bathroom before returning to the bedroom and closing the door.

Usually at this time, he would have already fallen asleep in the white tower surrounded by silence, but in the dungeon, the liveliest night had just begun.

In other words, the night that belongs to this city has never left.

The statement made sure the windows were well locked, lay down, and closed eyes.

He adjusted his breathing and emptied himself in the dark, just like he had done countless nights.

Twenty minutes later, Chen Ci turned over, couldn't bear it, covered his head with the quilt, and then covered it with his hands to hold it down.

The sound of dripping water was reduced by layers of barriers, but it could still be heard.

The water seeping from the cracks in the aging pipes kept falling on the plastic roof, and the sound was quite loud, and the residents of the dungeon had long been accustomed to it.

But Chen Ci couldn't stand it. He couldn't have a little sound or light when he was resting, otherwise he wouldn't be able to fall asleep.

After another ten minutes, Chen Ci opened his eyes helplessly.

He propped himself up against the head of the bed, and simply waited until he was too sleepy to go back to sleep.

He and Fu Tianhe made an appointment to go out early tomorrow morning.

But I am still young, even if I stay up all night, I should be able to hold on.

The statement opened the memo on the terminal, and began to write the log of the first day after the exchange of identities.

He recorded in detail what happened after he came to the dungeon, telling the story flat and straight, without any personal emotion.

These are very important materials when I exchange with Chen Nian.

Wrote that he and Fu Tianhe made an appointment to go out together tomorrow, Chen Ci stopped typing.

This is the Alpha he met by accident. It has a golden prosthetic eye. It is said that it is a mechanic worker of a large manufacturing plant in the south of No. 13 Information Processing. It lives in the poorest area. After work, it disassembles scrap metal parts at the garbage dump. Make something with a machine tool.

In the house built of low tents and bricks, there is the smell of Fu Tianhe's pheromones, a very calm amber woody fragrance, which doesn't seem to match Alpha's enthusiasm.

— is a strange person.

The statement was written at the end of the diary.

I don't know what time it was until Chen Ci fell asleep in the sleepiness that the noise could not stop.

A night without dreams.

The alarm rang, and Chen Ci opened his eyes sleepily. He didn't have the habit of staying in bed. After getting up, he washed his face and felt a little more refreshed.

Before Jiang Dai woke up, Chen Ci put on his hat and mask and went out.

The two made an appointment to meet at the station where Fu Tianhe sent him back yesterday. They arrived 10 minutes early and had breakfast by the way.

Soon Fu Tianhe came over. He took a car from the West District, got off and walked for a while, saw Chen Ci from a distance, and waved to him excitedly.

Fu Tianhe still had the look of boundless vitality. The simple shirt jacket made him indistinguishable from other dungeons. If it wasn't for the prosthetic eye, he would look like an ordinary Alpha.

"Awaited."

Chen Ci shook his head: "I just arrived too."

"Yesterday I chose a few more suitable places." Fu Tianhe briefly introduced to Chen Ci, who knew almost nothing about dungeons, so he quietly listened to his description.

The south side is the area where Fu Tianhe works. He is very familiar with that area. The workers assist Chensha to process huge information, repair and maintain countless parts, and at the same time ensure the normal operation of many lines passing through.

After Fu Tianhe finished speaking, the car arrived, and the two went up one after another. Fu Tianhe finally said: "The entire information processing area is developing industries, and there are few natural landscapes. I can only take you to those places."

"It's okay." Chen Ci can see the natural scenery that everyone dreams of from the window every day, but these features of the underground city are more attractive to him.

The two sat side by side. The plastic seat of the bus is relatively narrow, and the shoulders will bump into each other if there is a slight bump.

Getting closer, Chen Ci smelled the coolness of Fu Tianhe's pheromone masking agent.

Walking through the street yesterday, Chen Ci also had a general understanding of the situation in the dungeon.

Alphas never hesitate to release pheromones in public, and Betas can't smell them anyway. They are like birds in the courtship period, showing themselves unscrupulously, putting pressure on the same kind, and hoping to attract Omega.

It is a rare civilized behavior for Fu Tianhe to think about covering his taste in front of him.

The journey takes more than 40 minutes. Like yesterday, Chen Ci has been quietly looking outside since getting in the car.

Fu Tianhe sneaked a few glances at Chen Ci, controlled himself as much as possible, and looked ahead.

Even now, he still has a sense of unreality.

Just yesterday, thanks to his outstanding thick skin, he met an Omega named "September", and met again in just twelve hours, and successfully got the other party's contact information.

Not only did Jiuyue not dislike him for being so poor, she even made an appointment with him to go out together.

Fu Tianhe really didn't think that Jiuyue would really want to come out with him. To be honest, there is nothing worth wandering in the entire information processing area, but since Jiuyue wanted to, of course he wanted to accompany him.

Is this a date?Does it count?

Fu Tianhe has lived for 21 years, and for the first time he feels that he is lucky.

He had a lot to say to Chen Ci, Fu Tianhe knew that the young man around him had given him a fake name, and only one contact information was real.

The more this happened, the more he wanted to know more.

Fu Tianhe had the cheek to prepare himself mentally, took a deep breath, and was about to speak.

He turned his head and saw Chen Ci leaning against the window glass, with his head slightly lowered, already asleep.

The boy's eyelashes were thick, and in the bright light outside the window, a small shadow was cast on his cheeks. A few strands of black hair protruded from the brim of his hat and swept between his brows. The black mask covered most of his face, but he looked more serene.

He had the zipper of his tracksuit pulled up to the top, his collar was turned up to cover the anti-bite collar around his neck, and his body was shaking slightly with the driving of the bus.

Fu Tianhe froze for a moment, all the words stopped on his lips at this moment.

Fu Tianhe and Chen Ci have known each other for a very short time, but he can also realize from Chen Ci's various behaviors that he is very vigilant——

The teenager got off at a station some distance away from his home to conceal his real address, refused to drink the water he gave him, used a false name, and even refused to give him his contact information.

Such was September, now asleep beside him.

Does this mean that he is gradually gaining the trust of September?

Regardless of the real situation, Fu Tianhe suddenly became excited.

Fu Tianhe took a deep breath, turned his face away and continued to look straight ahead.

——Is it really okay to sleep like this?It hurts if your head hits the glass.

Soon he turned around again and leaned against Chen Ci, hoping to let Chen Ci rest on his shoulders, at least without the risk of hitting his head.

Fu Tianhe worked hard for more than ten minutes, but before he could succeed, the bus drove past the speed bump and suddenly woke up Chen Zi.

Chen Ci didn't expect that he would fall asleep in the car, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, changed his position and sat down, and stopped dozing off.

Fu Tianhe immediately sat up straight, pretending nothing happened, but his face was hot uncontrollably.

Statement:?

Chen Ci stared at him for a few seconds, and when Fu Tianhe's face was getting redder and redder, he looked away.

"Did you not take a break?" Fu Tianhe asked pretentiously.

"Yeah." Chen Ci said casually, "The water pipes outside the bedroom are old and leaking, so it's a bit noisy."

Fu Tianhe snorted, looked at the prompt on the display screen, and said, "We're almost at the station, get ready to get off."

The two got off the car in the southern area, Chen Ci raised his head, and finally saw the unprocessed real appearance of the information processing area.

Metal rusted or newly plated colors are everywhere, the top is hundreds of meters high, and the pipes are criss-crossed. Compared with the wilderness, the huge enclosed space makes people feel small.

Countless scaffolding is built along the metal frame, and the roar of the machine is constantly ringing, and the unit of the cinnabar core processor is hidden somewhere under layers of protection.

Fu Tianhe waited patiently for the statement and looked around. He didn't know what to see. Strictly speaking, this was a very normal scene in the dungeon.

Fu Tianhe asked casually: "Are you from another place?"

Chen Ci glanced at him, and after a few seconds, he replied, "I've been living in another area before."

That's it.Fu Tianhe understood that maybe he lived in the condensation tower or the power room before September. Although both belonged to the category of the dungeon, due to the different functions, the landscapes of different areas of the beacon are also very different.

"Let's go, there is a mine car project for the transformation of abandoned tracks near here, let's play with that first."

Chen Ci followed Fu Tianhe, listening to him explain what the surrounding buildings were for.

The entire south side is the main industrial part of No. 13 information processing area, and many departments are built in it, and what they are passing is the Ministry of Transportation.

The Ministry of Transportation... Chen Ci glanced at the half-closed door a few more times.

Seems like I've heard it before.

Drake was chatting with his colleagues when he suddenly stopped talking.

He stared at the figure that flashed past the door, and his body that was leaning on the container immediately stood up straight.

"What's wrong?" The colleague followed his gaze.

Another colleague pushed Drake's shoulder: "Looking at the day-by-day distraction, hey, didn't you say something good was coming the night before yesterday?"

Drake waved his hand irritably: "Don't mention it."

"Hey, people don't want to?" The colleagues all of a sudden cheered up.

"It was all arranged well, and I took him to the top, but he disappeared in a blink of an eye. After I came back, I sent him a message and kept saying that I was busy and didn't have time to meet."

"Maybe he was abducted by some upper-class person?" His colleagues laughed at him deliberately, "Hey, seeing how excited you were before, I thought you could get it."

Chen Nian was known to everyone in their circle, and Omega, who worked in a nightclub, never shy away from getting in touch with Alpha.

Everyone knows that Chen Nian maintains an affair with many people at the same time, but no one dares to complain about him.

The Alphas are only racking their brains to think about one thing - how to defeat other competitors in front of Chen Nian.

Many Alphas regard whether they can get Chen Nian as a way to brag with their brothers, and try their best to achieve their goals.

The more Derek thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Could it be that Chen Nian was really abducted from the upper floors?But he seemed to see a very similar figure just now.

"I'll go out for a while." Drake said no more, and walked towards the gate of the Ministry of Transportation.
