After the curfew, fewer people will come to entertainment stores, and those who risk leaving the safe zone to go to the declining area outside the main city are more willing to get drunk in the tavern.
Rather than relaxing with a clear mind in an entertainment store, forgetting in the vertigo of a tavern is just what you need.
After the whistle of the curfew sounded over the main city, Guangguang would close the door of the entertainment store, leaving a small side door that only the old customers knew how to open.
Then make a drink and sit by the siren for a break.
However, since the opening of her store, she has not been harassed after the curfew. After all, the cleaning team often comes in uniform.
The two thin iron bars hanging above the small side door collided lightly, making a "ding" sound with a slight ending sound.
"Good night." Guang Guang glanced at the door.
The ones who came in were Lao Fan and Caracal, and behind him was a man who was half a head taller than Lao Fan. He looked like a young man, but his face was full of scars that made his appearance hard to tell.
Lao Fan is a regular customer, and the caracal cat doesn't come often, but there is no one in the main city who knows about the caracal cat, even if he has never seen it.
"Bring a new follower," Lao Fan pointed behind him, "Little iron ball."
"Good evening, little iron ball," Guangguang greeted the little iron ball, "My name is Guangguang."
When Ning Gu heard this name, he instantly felt the mood of Xiao Horn when he heard that he was called Xiao Horn.
"Just call me... an iron ball." Ning Gu said.
Especially when I realized that I still need to be forced to accept this name calmly.
"Does Uncle Fan want to have a pinch?" Guang Guang asked, "If both of you pinch, there will be a line. I'm the only one in the store tonight."
"Do you pinch the iron ball?" Fan Lu asked Ning Gu.
"Pinch... what?" Ning Gu didn't quite understand.
"Squeeze your head, shoulders and arms to relax, it's very comfortable." Fan Lu said.
"No, no, no, no..." Ning Gu couldn't take it anymore, and said in succession, "No pinch, no pinch."
"Then I'll get you something to drink," Guang Guang said, "What flavor would you like to drink? There are apples, oranges, grapes..."
"What are they?" Ning Gu asked.
"Fruit." Guangguang replied.
"Can I eat the fruit directly?" Ning Gu asked again.
"You, little iron ball," Guang Guang leaned his elbows on the bar and hooked his fingers at him, "Are you a traveler?"
"Huh?" Ning Gu was surprised.
"I actually want to eat fruit," Guang Guang laughed. "Only people who have just come from a ghost town will think that there are fruits to eat in the main city, right?"
"Give him a glass of oranges," said Van Lu.
Ning Gu took a glass of orange juice and sat in the corner. He didn't know what this Guangguang had to do with Fan Lu and the cleaning team. He guessed that he was a traveler, and he didn't feel nervous at all.
"The patrol team didn't come today. It can't be done once a day." Guang Guang squeezed Fan Lu's arm up and down, "Are they still in the City Affairs Office? Hasn't Lian Chuan been arrested?"
"Probably," Fan Lu said, "didn't your elder brother Li Liang tell you?"
"The entire cleanup team is under investigation," Guang Guang said, "It seems that the task has not been completed, I thought you knew?"
"I don't want to know," Fan Lu said, "The less I know about these shitty things, the better."
"Many people commented that Lianchuan was imprisoned and exiled. It was all false," Guangguang said, "It was told to the common people. Anyway, whether it was closed or exiled, we couldn't see it. In fact, Lianchuan has been destroyed."
Ning Gu was drinking orange juice, when he heard this sentence, he brought it up in one gulp, almost choking the orange juice up his nose.
He squeezed the cup hard, and he made a dent in the metal cup.
"What good is destroying him for the main city?" Fan Lu said.
"Who knows, maybe the unregulated plan has succeeded, but it's just not for the common people," Guang Guang said, "But I think those people in District C and District D are really looking forward to it being destroyed."
"They are the most cruel." Fan Lu said with his eyes closed, "I hate whoever I see. If I only see a hyena, I hope the hyena will die. If I can't see the person who gave the order, I hate it."
"It's quite pitiful," Guang Guang thought for a while, "Once the main city collapses in front of us one day, we will be the first to be abandoned."
"You're not them, you're the greenfield identity card." Fan Lu said with a smile.
"I don't care," Guang Guang said. "If I really live to that day, I will stay in the store and not go anywhere, or I will go to the ghost town."
"Who will take you there." Fan Lu glanced at the door.
"Take me there," Guang Guang looked at Ning Gu again, "Where did this iron ball come from?"
"He heard nothing." Fan Lu said.
"It's okay for anyone to hear it," Guang Guang raised his face, "Whoever cares about us little people will be finished sooner or later."
"I won't take you to the ghost town," Fan Lu said, "I'm going to die in the main city."
"Loyalty." Guang Guang pouted.
Fan Lu and Guang Guang continued to chat one after another, and Ning Gu felt that he vaguely knew what was going on with their chat, but he didn't know what was going on at all.
He suddenly had some doubts, the method of discipline that the head of the group has used the most over the years.
Don't ask, don't answer, don't think...
At this moment, he found that he was like living in a vacuum world built for him by the team leader.
He can tease cats and dogs, cause trouble, and run rampant, but no one will ever answer his questions, and no one will ever face his questions directly.
He took a sip of orange water.
Now my mind is very messy, I can't find the answers to these questions before returning to the ghost town, I want to question the head of the group, and at the same time desperately want to maintain the mood.
... and that stripping and detention.
coma, don't know anything, don't dream...
Lian Chuan was in this state when he was hung at the entrance of Lost Ridge by the poet.
After he woke up, he didn't know anything, couldn't remember anything, and the whole experience was blank.
So the stripping and detention he requested is to enter this state again.
Why
Ning Gu felt that he could guess almost, but he was not 100% sure.
Ordinary people don't know the reason why the main city is trying so hard to guard all the exits of Lost Valley, but Lianchuan is a fit for Betelgeuse. Few people know.
After all, judging from the rumors of the ghost town, Betelgeuse can’t be mentioned, and Lianchuan is the nightmare every time a traveler enters the main city.
Therefore, Fan Lu's previous judgment on Lianchuan's series of operations is the result that the main city wants to show to the general public.
The hyena, the most hated by the people of the main city, took hostages to threaten the chief, stormed the city affairs hall, was finally captured, and was expelled to the ghost town. This is a very happy decision.
But under the surface, Ning Gu looked at the orange juice in his hand. Lian Chuan would definitely not let such a straightforward ending happen if he took such a big risk.
Beneath the surface, he had other plans.
And this separation and detention is part of the plan.
In terms of deportation, during the period before the car arrives, Lian Chuan has no chance or reason to escape from the monitoring of the main city. If the car takes a long time to arrive, the gap is a big variable, and anything is possible occur.
It is most appropriate to let yourself be a blank person.
Ning Gu tapped the cup with his fingers, Jiu Yi's younger brother? With this IQ, Jiuyi's father can't keep up.
And there is another reason for such a request that only Ning Gu knows.
When Lianchuan was in such a state, he entered Lianchuan's consciousness, or memory.
Lian Chuan knew that Fan Lu and the boss would definitely find out about his request, so Ning Gu would naturally know about it too.
Lian Chuan should hope that he can take advantage of this state again.
Ning Gu couldn't help but took a big gulp of orange juice.
Nine Wings' grandfather can't even catch up with this level of IQ!
Although the plan of the little speaker is risky, it is also the best choice in the helplessness, the little iron ball... what iron ball! The ghost town bully Ning Dagu will help you complete the plan, don't worry.
Although Ning Dagu didn't know how he did it last time.
Nail was sitting against the wall, the wind kept blowing in from his cuffs and trouser legs, it was very cold.
After Ning Gu left, apart from going to the crazy uncle to inquire about the situation, it was the first time he slipped out of the shelter during the break.
Hammer was already asleep, and no one noticed when he came out.
The shelter was already far behind, and now in front of him was a road that could only be followed by cold light bottles and memory, leading to the garbage dump.
After passing through the dump, continue forward to Tongue Bay.
It's been too long, I don't know when the car will come, when Ning Gu will come back, and...whether he can come back.
Instead of waiting so depressed to die, it is better to do something.
In case Ning Gu really...something happened, he must at least know why.
There must be something in the mouth of the tongue.
There must be some secret hidden in the black mist in Tongue Bay, a secret that the group leader and the others do not want other travelers to know.
Ning Gu knew, or they suspected that Ning Gu knew.
Although he didn't know if Ning Gu's escape had anything to do with this, Nail decided to venture in to have a look. Anyway, Ning Gu wasn't there, no one took him to make trouble, and he had nothing to do.
Nail touched the leather pocket hanging on his leg, took out a lighted cold light bottle, hung it around his neck, took out a knife, wrapped it around his hand with a cloth strip, and touched it again. There was a flash bomb.
He went to Ning Gu's hut to find the flash bombs. He knew where Ning Gu hid these small things, but Ning Gu took many useful things to the main city. He only found two flash bombs.
One is held in the hand, and the other is hung on the lap, so that you can get it immediately when you need it.
After getting ready, he got up and walked quickly into the garbage dump without looking back.
When Li Xiang walked out of the metal cemetery and walked towards the shelter, he felt a little tired.
He usually doesn't sleep much, but he has been busy recently, and he hasn't slept for several days.
Can't sleep either.
An abnormality was detected at the experimental site today, and he stared at it all day, but found nothing.
The runaway test subject can affect the aborigines, even if it has self-destructed, no one can judge how many aborigines were affected before self-destructing.
The experimental subject from the main city was obtained by combining the aboriginal people with travelers. What kind of ability this experimental subject has, even if it is an unsuccessful experimental subject, is very important to them now.
If the aborigines can be used in the production of experimental bodies, the countless aborigines in the boundless black fog outside the safe range of the ghost town will allow them to have endless raw materials.
Although it is just a vain legend, once the exit really appears, in the battle for the right to survive, even if the secret experiment of the main city succeeds, the ghost city can still have the strength to fight against the main city.
The only variable is Ning Gu.
They have carefully protected Ninggu for twenty-two years, but now they are on the territory of the main city, and there is no news of it.
There was no sign of the car coming, and Li Xiang couldn't tell what would happen when they went to the main city.
He sighed softly.
The man was let go by Lin Fan, and no one knew what Lin Fan had said to Ning Gu.
No one will know.
Although the three of them knew it well, none of them could accuse the other. They were companions who had been fighting side by side. They were companions who did not hesitate to hand over their backs to each other in the final battle in the main city. They will still stand for each other even now. A companion who fights in danger.
When he was on the only way back to the shelter, Li Xiang stopped.
Sensitively noticing the information remaining in the air, he quickly took out a small glass bottle from his pocket, bent down and gently shook the bottle mouth against the ground.
The powder spilled from the bottle was blown across the ground by the wind, leaving two clear shoe prints.
The middle section of the shoe print is separated.
Like Ninggu's sole, there is a metal guard in the middle.
is a nail.
Li Xiang suddenly felt a thin layer of sweat on his back. He took out the communicator and connected to the channel of Lin Fan and the team leader.
"Go and see if the nail is at home," he said, "There are shoe prints of his going out at the intersection of No. 1, I'll go to Tongwan."
"Don't look at it," Lin Fan's voice immediately came out, "It's definitely not there."
"Go directly to Tongwan," said the head of the group.
"Hurry up," Li Xiang turned and ran in the direction of Tongwan, "The aborigines have been active these two days."
Look! Tongue licked my feet!
What do you think is behind your tongue
I want to see it.
If you are afraid of a fart, if you know what it is, you will die.
Nail squatted on the highest shelf that he would come up to every time he came with Ning Gu, and he could recall every word Ning Gu said here.
I want to see it too.
Nail jumped off the ground, looked around, and listened carefully to the sound in the wind. After confirming that it was safe for the time being, he walked forward to face the black mist that kept rolling over.
After walking a few steps, I started to feel a little scared.
In order not to give himself a chance to turn around, he gritted his teeth and started to run in big strides.
When rushing into the thickest and blackest black mist, he heard a thin sound behind him, like the panting of a person whose throat was stuck.
"Who!" Nail turned his head.
"Big!" Guang Guang patted the table.
"Small." Fan Lu said.
Guang Guang turned over the cards in front of him, and Fan Lu also turned over the cards in front of himself.
"Hey, I lost again?" Guang Guang rested his chin and glanced at the caracal cat, "Boss, let's play cards, old Fan is such a thief."
The boss lay down on the sofa and closed his eyes.
Guang Guang didn't mind at all, and turned to look at Ning Gu again: "Little iron ball? Can you play cards?"
Ning Gu was not in the mood to play, but in order not to make people suspicious, he still replied: "No, how to play?"
"It's just guessing the size of the card, it's very simple," Guang Guang said, "An odd number is considered small, an even number is considered large, an even number is larger, and an odd number is smaller..."
The people in the main city are too stupid to play, what big, small, big...
Ning Gu was already a little absent-minded, and he was confused when he heard it. This series of big and small reminded him of the sequence of the "key" that he had memorized for a long time yesterday.
Speaking of this, he found that he seemed to be unable to remember clearly again.
Ning Gu didn't care that Guangguang was still talking, and quickly started to review in his heart, tapping his fingers in his pocket to help recall.
small size small big... what's up... small small big...
"Iron ball?" Guangguang tilted his head.
Fan Lu turned his head to look over and found that Ning Gu's eyes were distracted.
When he quickly stood up and was about to go over, the boss had already jumped in front of Ning Gu, and Ning Gu immediately fell from the chair onto the boss and lay down on the ground.
