Chapter 35

"Is it a coincidence?" The technician raised his head and looked at Chunsan after a long time.

Chunsan stood in front of the screen wall, looking at the monitoring screens in various districts of the main city.

It was already late at night, and during the curfew in the safe zone, except for the wine alley area in Zone C and Zone D, most residents fell asleep.

The flash that happened five seconds ago may not be noticed by many people.

"Thinking too much," Chunsan said, "Lian Chuan's stripping started an hour ago and ended ten minutes ago."

"Should I report?" the technician asked.

"I'll report." Chunsan said.

The expulsion of Lianchuan is reasonable and expected by the residents of the main city. Over the years, the main city has been irreversibly swallowed up by the Black Iron Wasteland. The panic of ordinary people cannot be expressed freely under the strict management rules of the main city. The hatred and anger of "being ruined a peaceful life" are intense.

After the expulsion was announced in accordance with public opinion, there must be other arrangements for Lianchuan's disposal.

However, in Chunsan's view, the "other arrangements" that should have been very smooth did not go smoothly. The meeting lasted for a long time, and the opinions of several parties must not be unified.

The final decision is still expulsion, but the meaning behind this expulsion may be different for several parties.

With this kind of disagreement almost already in the open, Chunsan's report, no matter which party it is reported to, is an adventure.

The flash in the main city has been technically unable to find a reason. It can only be attributed to the law of the main city, but it should have nothing to do with Lianchuan. Lianchuan has experienced various limits, and there has never been a "coincidence" with the flash. Case.

Chunsan has not found the pattern from the flash, and many people think that there is no need to find the pattern. The flash is a phenomenon that accompanies the collapse process, like sparks bursting out of a machine before it is scrapped.

But when reporting, she didn't want any party to mix their own interests into the fundamentally unsolvable law of the main city, especially the use of Lianchuan, which was already in a state of separation.

If we must talk about the rules, the last few flashes were able to contact Ning Gu. When the train arrived, Ning Gu and the travelers entered the main city. Ning Gu enters "Coincidence".

She needs to report to the administrator alone.

Chunsan walked into the confidential contact room. After checking the equipment, she entered her password. She was the only technician who had the right to report to the administrator, but she was limited to reporting. After the report, she would only receive messages from the administrator. Delivery confirmation, there will be no other feedback and communication.

But something is different today.

After Chunsan encrypted and reported the message, there was no response from the system, and there was only a notification on the screen that she had finished sending, but no confirmation was received.

After waiting two minutes, she turned off the screen.

Although no one has seen the administrators, they seem to exist in symbiosis with the system, and they will be online anytime they contact.

This has never been the case.

Make her a little dazed.

I am not afraid, nor flustered, nor desperate, the only feeling is that I am at a loss.

For a moment, Ning Gu thought he was back in a ghost town, surrounded by darkness, the wind blowing from time to time, blowing through his clothes, it was very cold, kind of like when he was beaten when he was a child, the leader stripped him naked and tied him up for exhibition at the entrance of the shelter. illusion.

He turned around in a circle and found a lighted place in the darkness.

Square, looking like a cross-section of a hallway or passageway, with no doors or anything else to see.

Is this Lian Chuan's memory

Ning Gu stood still, he had never encountered such a situation, and wanted to think about it carefully.

His first reaction was the "key", but he hadn't finished recalling the order of the sizes of the small holes, so he felt that the surroundings turned dark and everything disappeared.

So it doesn't have to be that big or small, that is Lian Chuan

Lian Chuan started stripping? Take the initiative to pull him in

If it could be done, why not in Lost Valley

After standing for a while, he confirmed that there was nothing abnormal, and put the trigger aside for the time being. If this was a memory related to Lian Chuan, he needed to find out what was there as soon as possible.

It is already very lucky to be smashed to pieces before it comes up.

Ning Gu slowly walked towards the lit square.

When I got closer, I realized that this was indeed a corridor. There was no light source. It was made of matte silver metal. Ning Gu had never seen such a beautiful and flat building. Curiously, he stretched out his hand and lightly tapped on the wall of the entrance. touched it.

Very disappointed.

I don't know if it's because Lian Chuan didn't touch it in his memory, so he didn't leave any tactile sensation. Ning Gu only had the feeling of touching something, and there was no tactile sensation under the blunt wood.

After walking into the corridor, Ning Gu looked back and found that the entrance had disappeared.

There is also a long corridor behind.

He was now standing in the middle of a corridor leading to nowhere.

He quickly turned back and stretched out his hand to support the wall on the right. Both ends of the corridor are the same. If he accidentally turned around, he was really afraid that he would not be able to remember which side was which.

Since he was facing forward when he came in, he should go this way first.

Without looking back, Ning Gu touched the wall and walked slowly forward.

After walking a few steps, there were footsteps coming from behind, Ning Gu turned his head and saw a few people in uniforms with goggles on their faces, so they couldn't see clearly.

But Ning Gu could recognize the one walking among several people at a glance.

It's Lianchuan.

Lian Chuan didn't wear a uniform, only a set of light blue pajamas, looking as if he was going to be escorted somewhere.

"Lian Chuan!" Ning Gu called Lian Chuan in a low voice, "Hello."

Lian Chuan walked past him indifferently without any reaction.

"Lian Gou," Ning Gu could only quickly follow, "It's me, Ning Gu."

Lian Chuan still didn't respond.

Ning Gu guessed that there was no way to communicate with such shouts, so he could only follow first, and then carefully looked at Lian Chuan and the people around him.

Ning Gu had never seen the uniforms on the men who escorted Lian Chuan. What kind of security and city guard cleaning team in the main city, what kind of uniforms travelers are very clear, and many travelers who have never been to the main city know it. If you scan it, you should run for your life, and everyone has to remember it clearly.

He stared at the uniform and scanned it, but didn't see any signs, so he turned his eyes back to Lian Chuan.

Lian Chuan looked similar to what he had seen before, with shorter hair and a pale face. This memory should be from the past few years, not from the boyhood.

Ning Gu heaved a sigh of relief. Lian Chuan seemed to have suffered a lot when he was a child and a teenager. Later, he probably went to work in the cleaning team and had no time to be abused.

The corridor was very long, and Ning Gu kept walking along, passed several locked doors, and couldn't tell where they were, but there were numbers on the doors, and he memorized them all.

It's hard to say how long you can remember four numbers and whether you can remember them accurately.

When the corridor was almost at the end, Lian Chuan, who had been looking ahead, suddenly turned his head to the right.

Ning Gu was on his right, quickly raised his hand and shook it, wondering if he could communicate, but immediately found that Lian Chuan's gaze did not meet his, but fell on the wall behind him.

He turned around and found four paintings hanging in a row on the wall where there was nothing!

Ning Gu stopped abruptly, looking at the wall in front of him in shock.

Although he never saw the actual painting, he imagined it.

This looks like a painting! Very realistic painting.

But it wasn't just that he saw the painting in Lian Chuan's memory that shocked him.

But this painting... It's a painting of people.

bust.

About the size of a real person.

The clothes are different, the hairstyle is different, and even the expressions are different, but in the four paintings, it can still be seen that they are all the same person.

he himself.

Ning Gu stood there unable to move.

In a memory of Lianchuan, he saw four paintings of himself.

After a few seconds, he came back to his senses, forced himself to get out of the shock, and stared at these paintings carefully. There must be something strange about these paintings.

The paintings were all the same size and hung on the wall in silver frames.

There are no marks on the frame, nor words and numbers.

He leaned forward and looked again.

The backgrounds of the paintings are all black, and there are no marks except for the portraits.

But Ning Gu stared until tears were about to come out, and finally found that in the black background of each painting, on the left side of the person, there was a black door with a dark gray mark on it.

If you don't stare at it like this, you won't find it at all.

They are all a circle with different lines inside, from left to right, one wavy pattern, three wavy patterns, four-pointed star and a vertical straight line.

"These are..." Ning Gu turned his head, and when he wanted to talk to Lian Chuan, he found that Lian Chuan and those people in uniform were gone.

He hurried forward and chased after it. At the end of the corridor was a sliding door, which was closed. He didn't know if Lian Chuan had entered this door.

I grabbed the door and pulled it a few times, but it didn't work.

He put his ear against the door again, but couldn't hear the sound.

"Ah..." Ning Gu was a little depressed, holding the door with his hands, lowered his head and kicked the door twice.

What the hell does this mean

"Get in." A man's voice came from beside my ear.

"The scan has passed, and the indicators are normal." A woman's voice.

Ning Gu suddenly raised his head.

The door in front of him disappeared, and so did the corridor.

He returned to the pitch black cold wind.

The sound came from nowhere, and there was no light around.

"Betelgeuse is ready to fit," said the man's voice.

Betelgeuse.

When Ning Gu heard this name, fear and uneasiness instantly hit him wrapped in the cold wind.

Fan Lu took a sip of the wine, and handed the bottle to the caracal cat: "Shall I have a sip?"

The caracal turned its head.

"Why are you so serious, wine is such a good thing, everything is good in the world..." Fan Lu shook the bottle, "it's all in here."

The caracal got up and slapped the wine bottle off with one paw. The bottle hit the ground, shattered into pieces, and the wine flowed all over the floor.

"Hey," Fan Lu sighed, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "I know you shouldn't drink at this time, and I promised you, I will stay sober when this kid is here, but it's too difficult Is not it?"

The caracal cat lay back on the sofa, looking at Ning Gu lying on the bed.

It has been two days since Ning Gu didn't eat, drink, wake up or move.

It is still alive, but the buttocks may have been crushed, neither it nor Fan Lu are considerate people, and no one has gone to Ning Gu to turn it over for two days.

Thinking about it now, it still stood up again, let's turn it over.

"Don't come to me for such things in the future," Fan Lu leaned his head on the chair, "I don't care whether it's good or bad, alive or dead, I just want to drink some wine, wake up and drink, drink Sleep, I don't care if the world is here or not..."

The caracal didn't listen to him, walked to the bed, stood up on its hind legs, put its paw on Ning Gu's arm, and pushed it in.

Looking at Ning Gu who was a little thin, he couldn't push it.

Like solid black iron.

It exhaled a little air from its nose, and pushed hard again.

"Let me go!" Ning Gu roared suddenly.

Before Caracal and Fan Lu could react, he bowed upwards, bounced up suddenly, and jumped directly from the bed to the ground.

The caracal was so startled by his movement that its fur from the nape of its neck to its tail stood on end, and it jumped up on the bed.

Fan Lu originally raised his head, but when Ning Gu jumped up and landed beside him, he suddenly retracted his neck and made a "click".

"Ah!" He covered his neck and coughed for a long time, "Why did you wake up? What did you dream about?"

Ning Gu froze in the middle of the room with a face full of horror. After a while, the blood color slowly returned to his face and his expression eased.

"How long have I been asleep?" He looked at Fan Lu.

"Two days," Fan Lu also looked at him, "didn't eat, drink or move."

Only then did Ning Gu start to feel pain all over his body, he gritted his teeth and moved his arms and legs.

"What's wrong with you?" Fan Lu said, "Suddenly fainted for two days, then woke up suddenly."

Ning Gu didn't speak.

After a long silence, he opened his mouth: "I only tell Lian Chuan."

"Then just wait," Fan Lu waved his hand, "I'll meet him in the ghost town and talk slowly."

"I'm hungry." Ning Gu said.

"I don't have anything to eat here," Fan Lu stood up, "Drink some water, take a while, I'll take you out to eat."

"I'm not going out." Ning Gu said.

"Huh?" Fan Lu was taken aback.

"I won't leave here until the car arrives," Ning Gu said, "I want to ensure my own safety."

"You mean I'll go out and buy you food?" Fan Lu said, "Boss doesn't have such a big face with me."

"It's okay." Ning Gu sat back on the bed, "I won't eat for now."

The caracal jumped out of the bed, walked to the door, opened it and went out.

After a short meeting, he came back with two boxes of rations in his mouth and put them on the table.

"Thank you boss." Ning Gu sat down at the table, opened the rations, and stuffed a box of rations into his mouth in two bites.

"Are you okay? Is there any discomfort on your body?" Fan Lu looked at him, "Why do you feel so wrong?"

"It's okay." Ning Gu opened another box of rations.

"Is there any discomfort in your head?" Fan Lu asked again, "When you passed out, the boss gave you a cushion, but your head hit the ground."

Ning Gu touched his forehead, and suddenly felt a big bump.

It's over!

He jumped up, and there was such a big bump on the forehead of the handsome ghost town facade!

Fan Lu understood him very well, and immediately handed him a small mirror.

Ning Gu grabbed it and took a picture of himself.

The camouflage had been removed from his face, and he saw his own face, and a red, swollen bump on his head.

But he didn't take a third look, and snapped the mirror on the table.

"One group is in place," Long Biao straddled the A01, "The delivery box has been packed."

"The second group is in place."

"Three groups are in place."

The ten teams of the cleaning team are all in place.

Only six groups did not report.

Lianchuan's six groups.

The acting team leader was Li Liang, but he remained silent.

"Everyone is on standby," Lei Yu's voice came from the intercom, "Mission, escort the 07353 transport box to the target location, and send the specific coordinates after the mission begins."

"Got it." Long Biao replied.

Behind him is a transport vehicle, the body of which is very low-key, it looks no different from the vehicles transporting supplies in the main city system, the kind that no one will pay attention to.

But what was stored in the carriage was Lianchuan who was sealed in a special transport box made by the training department in a stripped state.

The cars from the ghost town have already arrived outside the main city, and a large number of travelers are pouring into the main city from various "exit gates" under the guidance of bats.

The core members of the traveler are all dispatched.

They didn't hide their whereabouts, and didn't hide in large numbers into the Valley of Lost.

Instead, roaring without any scruples, rushed to the streets of D area, and then began to attack the passage leading to C area.

Smoke and dust everywhere, a mess.

If such a situation happened in the past, the cleanup team would be the strongest force to stop the travelers.

But today, all members of the cleaning team are on the road leading to the train outside the city.

The sealed box containing Lianchuan will be sent up when the train is heading for the ghost town.
