Huang Feipeng's hands and feet turned icy cold, and he involuntarily quickened his pace, trying to find a sense of security in the chilly environment. Although he knew he had to explore further, the fear of the darkness made each step exceptionally difficult. As he stepped into the sewers, uneasy thoughts kept flashing through his mind—what if this place suddenly collapsed, or what if he encountered other dangers?

Driven by this unease, Huang Feipeng quickly felt himself enveloped in a vortex of anxiety and fear. He hadn't gone far when he discovered a large puddle. Various debris floated on the surface, and the stench was even more pungent. Huang Feipeng barely managed to suppress the urge to flee, and crouched down to carefully examine the water. His fingers traced the cold surface, and each touch rekindled his inner resistance.

“This is a disgusting place,” he muttered softly, trying to sound calm. However, the revulsion in his heart prevented him from completely ignoring the repulsive environment.

Just as he was focused on recording the extent of the flooding, he suddenly heard some faint footsteps. Huang Feipeng's heart skipped a beat, and his flashlight beam moved rapidly through the darkness, trying to pinpoint the source of the sound. His nerves tightened, and he felt a nameless panic. The unease and fear within him became exceptionally strong at that moment.

When he calmed down a bit and realized that the sound was just the echo of water hitting the wall in the sewer, he felt a little relieved. But the tension and unease did not completely dissipate; instead, they were etched even more clearly into his heart.

Huang Feipeng stood up and continued his exploration. He tried to pull his mind away from fear and focus on practical observation. He knew that only through hands-on experience could he truly understand the problems with these infrastructures and propose effective improvements.

Soon after, he arrived at an old inspection well. The well cover was covered with a thick layer of grime and rust. Huang Feipeng took out his tools and carefully opened the cover. The sight below the well weighed heavily on his mind: the stench and dampness faintly visible in the darkness filled him with a strong sense of disgust once again.

He crouched down, turned on his flashlight, and illuminated the situation down in the well. Despite his efforts to focus on his observations, a lingering sense of resistance remained. He knew he had to overcome these feelings and continue the investigation. But every breath, every step forward, was a tremendous test of his mental fortitude.

Just then, Huang Feipeng's phone rang. It was a message from Liu Yang: "Feipeng, how's the project going? Have you made any discoveries?"

Huang Feipeng stared at his phone screen, a complex mix of emotions swirling within him. He knew Liu Yang's inquiry reflected his concern for his work and also instilled a sense of responsibility in him. He took a deep breath, trying to make his tone sound natural: "Liu Yang, I've found some problems in the sewers. The water accumulation is severe, and there's a lot of grime and debris. This could potentially affect the sewers' normal function."

Liu Yang replied, "It sounds like there are quite a few problems. Continue the investigation and remember to record every detail. We need to understand the root cause of these problems."

Huang Feipeng nodded, feeling a sense of support and encouragement. He knew that although this mission was reluctant and difficult, these experiences would provide valuable firsthand information for improving the project. He continued to observe and record in the inspection well, carefully noting down every detail.

Time ticked by as Huang Feipeng delved deeper into the sewers. He gradually discovered that although the environment made him uneasy and resistant, each observation and record gave him a clearer understanding of the actual condition of the infrastructure. Those details that initially disgusted and frightened him gradually became key clues for solving his problems.

He constantly reflected on his journey from initial reluctance to gradually overcoming fear and bravely facing challenges. Although the path was arduous, he knew that only through practical experience and continuous exploration could he truly discover the root of the problem and propose effective solutions.

As time went by, Huang Feipeng's inner strength gradually grew. He began to focus more on practical work, recording every discovery and detail more meticulously. Although occasional feelings of resistance would still surface, he knew that these challenges and difficult experiences were necessary steps on his path to growth and progress.

After exploring the sewers for some time, Huang Feipeng, though gradually adapting to the dark, damp, and cold environment, still couldn't completely shake off his aversion and tension. After carefully observing and recording some key facility issues, he decided to take practical measures to avoid further potential risks.

By the time he returned to the street, night had fallen. Huang Feipeng looked somewhat tired, but his mind remained clear. He knew that the most pressing issue now was how to address the problems he had discovered. His plan was to use duct tape to seal off some obviously hazardous sewer inlets to ensure that subsequent maintenance and inspections could proceed smoothly.

At a nearby supermarket, he quickly found some duct tape and other related tools. Looking at the various products on the shelves, Huang Feipeng couldn't help but feel anxious. He knew that although these duct tapes and tools seemed simple, their function was crucial. He needed to ensure the thoroughness of the lockdown work to prevent any possible unforeseen circumstances.

Huang Feipeng selected several rolls of good-quality adhesive tape and some small tools for repairs, then returned to the sewer inlet with these items. On his way back, he felt a heavy sense of responsibility. Although today's work had left him extremely exhausted, he knew that all this work was to ensure the normal operation of the city's infrastructure, and for its future safety and smooth functioning.

Back at the sewer entrance, Huang Feipeng began carefully inspecting every potential hazard. He first used a flashlight to illuminate the gaps at the entrance, observing several obvious cracks and fissures. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous; these cracks could lead to water leaks or the spread of contamination. Although he knew these problems couldn't be completely solved, he could at least minimize the potential risks.

Huang Feipeng carefully cut the tape into suitable sizes and gradually applied it to the cracks and crevices. His movements were slow, but each step was meticulous. The adhesiveness and sealing properties of the tape gave him some comfort, though this comfort was temporary; he knew it was part of solving the problem.
