Lu Wen took advantage of the darkness and set out.
He drove away in one of the organization's SUVs.
The wind and sand in no man's land move forward quietly in the darkness.
The roar of the car broke the silence, and the bright stars guided him.
The map marks an abandoned city.
…
The body in District 13 returned home, and Xia Chuluo was already asleep.
Lu Wen looked at the latest news.
The Internet has exploded.
There are people walking together.
There is only a single figure.
The night swallowed up the figures who were deep in no man's land.
Even some small vendors set out overnight, bringing a whole truckload of goods with them.
"This is called a business opportunity!"
"Although we don't have the ability to grab that treasure, it's okay to go to that city and sell some snacks and drinks."
"On weekdays, mineral water only costs two yuan a bottle. When you get to that place, if you increase the price a little, it's not too much to sell it for ten yuan."
This is a confusing era.
Everyone is trying to find their role.
Many gangs were seen in District 16.
Some people also saw that some regional executive bureaus set out overnight, not even taking care of the wedding of the android pair.
"I heard that my colleagues from District 6 failed again. This time more than 30 people went there but failed to catch No. 9, and their weapons and equipment were confiscated."
It is rare that a public channel is still busy even in the middle of the night.
"It's so tragic. It's so embarrassing."
"That No. 9 is interesting. Is anyone interested? After finishing the matter of this treasure, we will deal with him together."
"If you really want to go, call more people. The Sixth District said on the big channel that No. 9's organization has expanded to more than fifty awakened androids, and after they sent equipment twice, the equipment is now quite good. excellent."
"It's a pity that Xia Chuluo was injured and is still recuperating. If she takes action, No. 9 will be able to catch her easily."
Someone actually missed Xia Chuluo.
Obviously this girl is very unpopular in the executive bureau.
"Why are you mentioning her? She's just a sharp-tongued little girl. I just think she's young and I don't want to argue with her!"
"Speaking of which... can anyone in our district executive bureau argue with her?"
The entire public channel went silent instantly.
Silence fell.
I don’t know how long it took before someone sent a message.
"Lu Wen can beat Xia Chuluo, right? Where's Lu Wen? He just dealt with that smart-aleck Lei Bin, he can't possibly go to bed so early, right?"
"He's an android and doesn't need to sleep!"
"I forgot, sometimes I feel like he is just a human being."
"Yes, even though my mentally retarded assistant is awakened, he is no match for Lu Wen."
Lu Wen also posted a message on the channel.
"I'm in District 13. I just got home and am getting ready to rest. Please pay attention to your safety. The treasure may be fake."
"Understood, what the above means is that we should send more people to each district to maintain order on the scene."
“…”
After sending a message, Lu Wen ignored it.
This body can rest well tonight.
…
No man's land.
The abandoned city stood on the horizon at dawn.
The first ray of morning light rose from the end of the earth, and Lu Wen saw the outline of the city.
Emptyness and dilapidation are always the main themes of these ruins.
Crows brought steel supports and built their nests on the collapsed science and technology museum. Withered vines climbed up the cement building. Twisted roots extended in the underground pipes. Spiders built webs in the decaying amusement park. Scarlet rust accompanied the years. Dance.
Walking on the desolate road, every step can reveal romance and loneliness.
"These people arrived very quickly."
Someone sits outside the city and paints this dead giant.
There are also people who stand on the cracked rocks and write poems about the desolation of this reality.
The sound of fried dough sticks could be heard in the distance.
Vendors hold huge umbrellas around several roads into the city, and the sweet smell of soy milk fills the air.
The sloping buildings looked dangerous, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.
So those who are timid operate on the outside, while some who are bold drive their stalls directly into the city.
This is a dead city with no traffic control.
"Young man, please bring two fried dough sticks. I'm hungry and don't have the energy to grab anything."
Lu Wen's body had no bracelets and a gun and tactical knife on his waist, so he was treated as a normal human being.
He smiled, waved his hand, and drove into the city alone.
"The final location of the map circulated on the Internet is the museum in the center of the city, and everyone is going there."
There are still people entering the city one after another.
Advertising posters from 80 years ago are displayed on bus stops in Shanghai that have not yet collapsed.
Rotten clothes hanging on tall buildings that had no time to take away.
Many things seem to have stayed before that war. Time has preserved their appearance, but with just a light touch, they will turn into dust and merge into the history that no one has written.
"Brother, are you alone? Do you want to form a team?"
Lu Wen’s driving speed was quite slow.
He was carefully observing and recording the terrain around him.
Some people were in a hurry, worried that they would lose everything if they arrived late, and drove very fast, passing Lu Wen one by one.
Maybe it was because Lu Wen looked so good that someone invited him.
He smiled and shook his head, saying that he liked to act alone.
Gradually going deeper, the closer to the center of the city, the more lively it becomes.
Lu Wen saw the vehicles of the Thirteenth District Executive Bureau, as well as other regional executive bureaus, and even saw a few familiar faces.
Wu Yu was sleeping in the passenger seat of a certain vehicle. He must have traveled all night last night.
"The Enforcement Bureau occupies one side outside the museum, and the other side is... those gangs in District 16?"
We also saw a few familiar faces in the gang.
Lu Wen went to the slums many times. When he had nothing to do, he liked to scan the pedestrians on the street. One-tenth of the pedestrians were wanted criminals, and he recorded many faces.
"The other party is actually an android organization."
These androids, who were hiding in no-man's land every day, suddenly united in a tacit understanding.
Organizations of a few people, organizations of dozens of people, and there will be a steady stream of follow-up people.
There were so many people, even those with missing arms or legs, came on stage.
The rest are just scattered treasure hunting enthusiasts.
There are also loyal fans of the book "The Lost City" who stand on tall buildings in the distance and want to see the biggest easter egg of this book with their own eyes.
Tension spread in the hot air.
It's early June.
The climate in the uninhabited land is even more extreme, with sandstorms coming at any time, and sometimes terrifying tornadoes roaring at the end of the sky.
The wind here is like a knife. If you inhale even slightly, your lungs will feel uncomfortable for a long time.
So many people are wearing masks or covering their faces with gauze.
"Looking at it like this, it will take a while before the fight starts."
The central museum covers a large area and its appearance is in decay.
The dust in the wind is the most ruthless carving knife.
I went to bed at 1.40 in the morning and got up before six in the morning to code. I had breakfast at about eight o'clock, read the comments, and continued to code...
