Inside the red coffin, Shen Qiu listened to the noises outside for a while. Seeing that everything was normal and no one was approaching, he breathed a sigh of relief and spoke in a low voice.
"I have a question. The kerosene street lamps and the kerosene lamps in the room are all on. It is obvious that they are maintained by these monsters. Do you think these monsters still retain consciousness?"
"I'm not sure about that. It's possible that they still have consciousness, or they may have simply retained some of their previous habits. After all, so far, when I encountered them, they basically fought immediately without any communication."
Yun Xiaoxi thought about it, but couldn't explain it clearly.
"Hey, what the hell is this place?"
Shen Qiu was also deeply moved.
"The information we know now is very limited, but we can still make some inferences from the existing situation. This city is always shrouded in very pungent industrial waste gas, which shows that this is not a purely backward civilization. However, judging from the architectural style and related facilities, the technological civilization is not very advanced, and it may even be a bit off."
"That makes sense. How did the natives here become like this?"
"I don't know what happened to them, but judging by the age of the clothes they were wearing, the mutation of the natives of this world should not have been more than twenty years ago."
"Um."
Shen Qiu thought quickly in his mind that this world and the mechanical ruins city he had experienced before were almost fallen at the same time.
Is this a coincidence, or is there some connection
"Mr. Shen Qiu, are you tired?"
Yun Xiaoxi then asked.
"Tired, how can I not be tired? Just look at the clothes I'm wearing and you'll know I was forced to come in. This overlapping is really weird, I came in just like that."
Shen Qiu was also a little helpless.
"We can take advantage of this opportunity to hide in the red coffin and have a good sleep. If nothing unexpected happens, this place is relatively safe."
Yun Xiaoxi suggested to Shen Qiu.
"Okay, let's get some sleep then."
After hearing what Yun Xiaoxi said, Shen Qiu replied in agreement.
To be honest, he had just been discharged from the hospital and his body had not yet fully recovered, and he had been tormented all night.
"Well, good night."
Yun Xiaoxi said softly and then closed her eyes.
A few minutes later, before Shen Qiu fell asleep, he heard Yun Xiaoxi's slightly heavier breathing.
Shen Qiu also had a strange expression on his face. Looking at Yun Xiaoxi who was wearing a fox mask, he didn't know how to describe her.
I even wanted to take off her mask and take a look.
But think about it, it is very impolite to just take off someone else's mask.
After confirming that there was no danger, Shen Qiu slowly closed his eyes.
…
I don’t know how long it took, but the gray and foggy city gradually brightened up.
Although the sun could not penetrate the gray fog, the day finally arrived.
Shen Qiu woke up in a daze. When he opened his eyes, he saw Yun Xiaoxi looking at him, blinking.
He was slightly startled, then asked.
"Is it noon?"
"Not yet. The bell hasn't rung yet. Let's wait a little longer."
Yun Xiaoxi said softly.
Shen Qiu waited patiently, but after lying on his side for so long, he felt his body was stiff.
Although he was stiff, Shen Qiu still tried not to move.
Time goes by.
Finally, the dull bell rang again, and Shen Qiu and the other person hiding in the red coffin could also hear it clearly.
"The bells are ringing!"
Shen Qiu said with a long sigh.
"Wait a moment, wait until most of the monsters have returned, then we'll come out."
Yun Xiaoxi said very cautiously.
"good!"
Shen Qiu felt that what Yun Xiaoxi said made sense, so he agreed.
After more than ten minutes, Yun Xiaoxi saw that it was almost time, so she gently pushed open the red coffin and climbed up.
Shen Qiu also stood up and pulled out the red coffin.
"ah!"
Yun Xiaoxi suddenly seemed to be frightened and couldn't help but scream.
Shen Qiu's heart suddenly tightened. He immediately pulled out the mechanical blade and looked around.
However, everything in the room was normal, and there was nothing unusual except the corpse on the ground.
Shen Qiu asked in great confusion.
"What's wrong?"
"You... you're not wearing NK?"
Yun Xiaoxi's neck turned red and she said in panic.
Shen Qiu looked down and immediately realized that when he turned it out just now, the movement was too big and it ran out.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"
"fine."
Yun Xiaoxi turned her head and replied unnaturally.
"I'm hanging out the laundry."
Shen Qiu pulled out the entire set of combat uniform that was stuffed into his backpack and draped it over the coffin.
Then he took out two packs of compressed biscuits from his backpack and handed one pack to Yun Xiaoxi.
"for you."
"Thanks!"
Yun Xiaoxi took it and thanked him.
"Nothing, let's hide here for a while. It's still early before dark, and if we go out too early, we'll be easily spotted."
Shen Qiu walked to the window and took a sneak peek outside.
The streets outside have returned to calm, and most of the monsters have returned to their own buildings.
"good."
Yun Xiaoxi nodded and replied.
…
At dusk, Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi were walking through the narrow alleys.
Shen Qiu asked Yun Xiaoxi.
"Can't you find some help?"
"There's nothing we can do. The overlapping worlds are random. We can't figure out the rules right now, so no one can get in. If I go out, I won't be able to get in next time."
"How did those people from the Gray Alliance get in together?"
"It could be that people within a certain range are likely to overlap into one world. If they are holding hands, then they are 100% overlapping into one area, and overlapping events happen every night."
Yun Xiaoxi briefly explained the situation to Shen Qiu.
"Yes, I see."
After listening to Yun Xiaoxi's words, Shen Qiu thought about it and it seemed that the situation was similar to what he had guessed.
As the two were walking, Yun Xiaoxi suddenly stopped at the exit of the alley.
Shen Qiu almost bumped into Yun Xiaoxi who was walking in front of him, and then asked in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
Yun Xiaoxi happily stretched out her hand and pointed forward.
"Great, there's an overlap ahead, that's the exit!"
"No way? So lucky?"
Shen Qiu was a little surprised. He looked forward and saw the shadows of the houses on the opposite street overlapping as he walked out of the alley.
"You should leave immediately."
Yun Xiaoxi urged Shen Qiu.
"You really aren't leaving?"
Shen Qiu looked at Yun Xiaoxi with some emotion. He didn't expect that she would really act in accordance with her words! She didn't waver or hesitate at all when facing the exit.
"No, I won't leave. Some things still need to be done by someone. Goodbye!"
Yun Xiaoxi waved to Shen Qiu and turned to leave.
"Wait."
Shen Qiu felt a little sorry when he saw Yun Xiaoxi preparing to leave, so he started to shout.
"What's wrong? Anything else?"
Yun Xiaoxi stopped and looked at Shen Qiu in confusion.
