Two days later, at night.
Swift figures were running over from a distance.
At this time, they all stopped, and Wu Di, who was in the lead, raised his head and looked forward.
There are rows of steel high-rise buildings in front of us. The lowest of these steel buildings has more than 30 floors. The surfaces of the buildings are covered with densely packed windows. People with trypophobia dare not look directly at them.
The steel buildings are spaced very closely together, and there are few green belts along the streets.
There are also no virtual enhancement devices installed on the streets, and it is obvious that this area should be for ordinary people to live in.
“We’re finally here.”
…
Shen Qiu and others breathed a sigh of relief.
They have been very nervous these past two days, fearing that they would be discovered along the way.
But the facts prove that the guy named Wang Fei is indeed quite capable.
He discovered several camouflaged mechanical octopuses along the way, which is why they were able to get here smoothly.
At this moment, Wang Fei and three of his companions jumped down from the building in front and landed neatly in front of Shen Qiu and the others.
"We've checked, the road ahead is safe, you can go in!"
"Then let's go quickly."
Wu Di waved his hand and led the way forward.
"good!"
Everyone responded.
Not long after, Shen Qiu and his team arrived at their destination, a 200-meter-high commercial building.
The entire exterior wall of the commercial building is covered with color-changing glass curtain walls, and there is a LOGO sign with the lights turned off at the top, which looks very grand.
Moreover, this commercial building is much taller than the surrounding buildings, with a relatively wide field of vision and a wider security range.
Everyone walked into the commercial building and came to the main lobby, where they looked around.
The gray stone tiles on the hall floor were covered with a thick layer of dust. There were collapsed stone ornaments and broken crystal chandelier debris everywhere.
At this time Wu Di spoke to everyone in a deep voice.
"From now on, this is our hiding spot. Remember one thing! You are not allowed to turn on the lights or create bright light to avoid being discovered!"
"clear!"
Everyone nodded solemnly in response.
Those present were all elite, and they knew very well that sometimes details determine success or failure.
After Wu Di finished his instructions, he waved his hand and spoke to everyone.
"Dismiss, everyone go and rest."
Shen Qiu stretched and then said to Qi Dong.
"Qidong, go get a clean room. I want one on the upper floors."
"no problem."
Qi Dong responded without any hesitation.
At this time, Shen Qiu saw that many KPI personnel around him did not choose to rest, but walked outside.
Shen Qiu immediately stopped Zhong Yun who was about to go out.
"Where are you going? Don't you want to take a rest?"
"Mr. Shen Qiu, you guys should take a rest. We plan to take advantage of the night to search around and see if we can find any overlap. Although it is safe for the time being, it is too dangerous here after all. We don't know when the enemy will come here."
Zhong Yun explained to Shen Qiu very respectfully.
"Um."
Shen Qiu nodded after listening.
Zhong Yun then bowed to Shen Qiu, turned around and left.
"Boss, do you want us to help with the search as well?"
Chen Ye asked after a moment of hesitation.
"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Take a rest first! We will search for overlaps carefully tomorrow night."
Shen Qiu felt very tired at the moment and waved his hand.
"good!"
Chen Ye and others nodded in response.
…
The next night.
Figures rushed out of the commercial building swiftly, and they dispersed in all directions swiftly.
In the hall, Chen Ye was sitting on the ground controlling the scattered pets.
Shen Qiu and others stood beside Chen Ye.
"Search carefully, don't miss anything."
"Don't worry, Boss. As long as my pet sees it, I will never miss it."
Chen Ye responded confidently.
"That's fine."
Shen Qiu is still very confident about Chen Ye.
At this time Wu Di came over and asked.
"Shen Qiu, would you like to go out and search together?"
"Sure! Qidong, you stay and take care of Chen Ye, and the rest of you follow me."
Shen Qiu accepted Wu Di's invitation and turned to give instructions to Qi Dong.
"good!"
Qi Dong nodded in response.
On the other side, Gu Feng brought a group of people to Yun Chuyu and made an invitation in a very gentlemanly manner.
"Miss Chuyu, would you like to search and explore together?"
"Let's act together. It's easier to take care of them when there are more people."
Captain Shi Cang spoke in agreement.
"Sorry, I already have a team."
Yun Chuyu politely refused.
“That’s a shame.”
Gu Feng's eyes moved slightly, and he replied with a little regret.
"It's a loss!"
Yun Chuyu bowed slightly to Gu Feng and others, then walked towards Shen Qiu and others.
Shi Cang looked at Yun Chuyu walking towards Shen Qiu and said with some emotion.
"As expected, the stronger a person is, the more attractive he is. Not only General Wu Di is working with Shen Qiu, but even a beautiful lady like Yun Chuyu is leaning towards him."
When Gu Feng heard this, he turned his head to look at Shen Qiu, and saw Muchen was also there.
His expression changed suddenly, but soon returned to normal.
"Mr. Shen Qiu is indeed very dazzling, so it is not surprising that he can attract so many people to follow him."
"Too."
Shi Cang nodded.
At this time, Yun Chuyu came to Shen Qiu and spoke with a smile.
"Can I come with you?"
"Of course."
Shen Qiu replied to Yun Chuyu very politely.
So they left through the back door of the building and searched towards the rear.
The residential area was very desolate and quiet under the cover of night. Apart from the occasional sound of the wind, no sound could be heard at all. The entire area was like a ghost town.
However, occasionally a figure can be seen entering a residential building.
Bei Kairen glanced at it and said with a smile on his face.
“It seems that not everyone is desperately searching for overlaps, but more are exploring the surroundings.”
Wu Di snorted coldly and spoke.
"It's already this time, and you still have the mood to look for treasures."
"That's normal. We've come all the way here, and no one wants to return empty-handed. Besides, we're not here to carry out a mission. Everyone is free."
Shen Qiu didn't think anything of it.
Wu Di didn't say much after listening. After all, these people were in charge of KPI, not his subordinates, and not under his management.
Yun Xiaoxi asked with some concern at this time.
"Shen Qiu, can we find overlap?"
"Of course we can. We can come to this world, and we can definitely leave it."
Shen Qiu replied with certainty.
"Uh-huh."
After hearing Shen Qiu's words, Yun Xiaoxi felt a little relieved.
…
Half a month later.
In the lobby on the first floor of a commercial building.
Shen Qiu and more than one hundred KPI personnel all gathered together.
The people present no longer had the high spirits they had before, and each of them had a worried look on their face.
For a whole half month, they searched the surroundings every night, but they didn't find even a shadow.
So they gathered together to hold a meeting to discuss.
"What should we do? Isn't there any overlap here?"
"Aren't we going to be trapped here to death?"
…
"Everyone, be quiet."
Wu Di shouted loudly.
Then the noisy scene quieted down.
"As you can see from the current situation, we have been searching for more than half a month without any results. The situation is very bad. But the worse the situation is, the more we need to stay calm! Stop complaining and think of a solution together."
Wu Di said to everyone.
In fact, being trapped here, Wu Di was more anxious than anyone else. You know, he returned to the Red Alliance from another world not for vacation, but because he had things to do.
When everyone heard Wu Di's words, they looked at each other, but no one said anything.
At this time Gu Feng stood up and spoke politely to Wu Di.
"Lord Wu Di, I do have an immature opinion."
"you say."
Wu Di stared at Gu Feng.
"We have actually searched all the areas around here and have been waiting for half a month, but there is no overlap at all. We don't have much supplies now. If we continue to be trapped here, our survival will be a problem. And although the enemy can't find us hiding here now, it's only a matter of time before we are discovered! What I mean is that instead of being trapped here like beasts, it's better for everyone to disperse completely and search farther away. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."
Gu Feng directly proposed the idea of breaking up.
"Nonsense! Shen Qiu finally gathered us together, but now he wants us to scatter?"
Wu Di directly refuted.
"I don't want to disperse, but we are all huddled together and there is no hope at all."
Gu Feng looked extremely embarrassed.
When everyone present heard this, they started talking about it.
"I think what Gu Feng said makes sense. Rather than being trapped here together, it's better to spread out and search farther away."
"I don't agree. If we can't find it here, can we find it by spreading out?"
"This is a matter of probability. It's better than waiting to die, right?"
"What do you mean? Scared?"
"I don't mean anything, I'm just telling the truth."
…
For a moment, everyone in the hall started arguing.
As for captains like Wei Wuyan and Shi Cang, they all fell silent, their thoughts were also in a mess.
Qi Lin looked at this scene and sneered.
"A bunch of idiots."
Mu Chen, who was standing next to Qi Lin, said to him with a wry smile.
"You can't blame them. After so long, they couldn't find anyone who left. Anyone would be panicking."
"snort!"
Qi Lin was too lazy to say anything more.
At this time, Chen Ye poked Shen Qiu with his arm and said in a low voice.
"Boss, that guy is instigating everyone to break up!"
"Don't talk nonsense."
Shen Qiu glared at Chen Ye.
Although he didn't quite agree with Gu Feng's idea, there was nothing wrong with his suggestion.
At this time, Gu Feng turned his head to look at Shen Qiu and asked with a very humble expression.
"Mr. Shen Qiu, the situation is very bad now. Do you have any good suggestions?"
Swish!
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Qiu.
"Yes, Mr. Shen Qiu, please give me an idea."
"Mr. Shen Qiu, please tell me your opinion."
…
Everyone present looked at Shen Qiu with anticipation.
Shen Qiu's expression changed as he spoke.
"We have gathered here with great difficulty, and now we are scattered. It is really a pity. And if we completely disperse, even if someone really finds an overlap, only a few people can escape! And if we completely disperse, there is a high probability that we will run into the enemy, which is really not wise. So I think everyone can use this building as a base, and then expand the scope to search outward."
“It seems that’s possible.”
"This is a good idea, and quite pertinent."
…
The people present discussed this.
"I think Shen Qiu's suggestion is very good, let's decide it."
Wu Di finalized the matter with a little annoyance.
Seeing this, Gu Feng didn't say much.
Everyone present also dispersed.
At this time, Qi Lin, Yun Chuyu and others gathered around Shen Qiu.
"This is not a solution. If we can't find any overlap, people's hearts will fall apart."
Muchen said with a wry smile.
"I know, but the problem is that I don't have a good solution. Overlapping is something I can't control."
Shen Qiu said with a headache.
Wu Di thought for a while and asked.
"Shen Qiu, we were covered by the black ball, not overlapped normally. Do you think there is no overlap here?"
When Shen Qiu heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he turned to look at Muchen and Qi Lin.
Mu Chen and Qi Lin looked at each other and then spoke.
“This possibility cannot be ruled out.”
"Aren't we finished then?"
Chen Ye said with a sad face when he heard this.
Angie also sighed.
"Things are troublesome."
"Okay, stop being so discouraging and let me think of a solution."
Shen Qiu felt a headache after hearing this.
At this moment, Shen Qiu suddenly saw the black shadow appearing not far away, and it waved at Shen Qiu.
After seeing this, Shen Qiu walked straight towards the black shadow.
"Shen Qiu?"
Angie asked in great surprise.
"Where are you going, Boss?"
…
Chen Ye and others were slightly startled and shouted.
Shen Qiu did not respond to them, but walked towards the black shadow.
At this time, the black shadow disappeared. Shen Qiu turned his head to look around, and saw a black shadow appear at the door of the building.
He immediately ran over.
Although Bei Kailun and others didn't know what was going on, they followed without hesitation.
They followed Shen Qiu out of the building.
Shen Qiu ran straight towards the street on the right, like a possessed man.
"What happened to Shen Qiu?"
Yun Xiaoxi asked very anxiously.
"I don't know."
Qi Lin replied with a frown on his face.
Mu Chen suddenly thought of something and said.
"I know what happened. Mr. Shen Qiu once said that he seemed to have seen a ghost."
"What the hell?"
Wu Di had an incredible look on his face.
"That's right. I don't know exactly what happened."
Muchen replied solemnly.
"Don't guess blindly, just follow him and you will know."
Qi Lin said in a cold voice.
So everyone followed Shen Qiu around in circles and finally came to an emergency air-raid shelter.
They followed Shen Qiu into the emergency air-raid shelter.
Shen Qiu took them to the deepest part of the air-raid shelter, where they saw an inconspicuous closed equipment door.
This equipment door is a bit like an elevator door.
The shadow completely disappeared here.
Shen Qiu thought for a while, pulled out the Abyss and inserted it into the closed equipment door, prying the equipment door open.
Suddenly, a very deep equipment well came into view, with a metal ladder extending downwards on the well wall.
"What are you doing, Boss?"
Chen Ye asked doubtfully.
"I don't know, let's go down and take a look!"
After Shen Qiu finished speaking, he jumped down.
Wu Di and others then climbed down the metal ladder.
Shen Qiu floated all the way down, and found that this equipment well was deeper than he had imagined.
After descending about fifty meters, a triangular cone-shaped device came into Shen Qiu's sight.
Angie yelled in shock when she saw the device for a moment.
"Stabilizer!"
Shen Qiu's eyelids jumped suddenly. At this moment, he finally understood why they had been searching for the overlapping area for a long time and couldn't find it. It turned out that there was a stabilizer here.
At this time, Wu Di and others also came down. When they saw the stabilizer, their faces turned black.
"Stabilizer!"
"After all this time, it turns out that the entire city is covered with stabilizers. No wonder we can't find any overlap when we get out."
Muchen said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Wu Di turned his head and looked at Shen Qiu and asked.
"Brother, how did you know there is a stabilizer here?"
"Guided by a dark shadow."
Shen Qiu did not hide it and spoke directly.
After Wu Di and the others heard this, they looked around vigilantly.
"Don't look, he has disappeared."
Shen Qiu spoke.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's turn off the stabilizer first, and then quickly notify everyone to come back. It will be troublesome if everyone scatters."
Yun Chuyu said softly.
"Yes, turn it off immediately!"
Chen Ye quickly agreed.
After hearing this, Qi Lin walked directly to the back of the equipment, reached out and directly pulled out several connected wires.
Suddenly, the flashing indicator light on the stabilizer slowly went out.
"alright."
Qi Lin clapped his hands and said in a cold voice.
"Let's go!"
Shen Qiu is not the kind of person who is fussy.
…
More than an hour later.
Shen Qiu and others rushed back to the commercial building.
At this time, you can see that KPI personnel are forming small teams on their own and preparing to search in distant areas.
Wu Di shouted at the top of his voice.
"Everyone stop!"
For a moment, everyone looked at Wu Di with confusion on their faces.
"What happened?"
"have no idea."
…
Wu Di announced directly.
"Everyone doesn't need to go far to search. Any teams that have set out should be called back immediately. We have found the reason why there is no overlap."
"What's the reason?"
When everyone heard this, they gathered around in surprise.
"The reason why there is no overlap here is because there are stabilizers everywhere underground. Now we have found the stabilizers around and we have shut them down. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be overlap tonight."
Shen Qiu began to explain.
"Very good."
"We are saved this time."
…
Everyone's face was filled with joy.
Gu Feng, who was not far away, was also quite surprised when he heard the news.
"I see. But how did they find the stabilization device? Don't you think it's a bit too coincidental?"
Captain Shi Cang patted Gu Feng on the shoulder.
“It’s quite a coincidence.”
"Have you ever thought about this? All of us were blind when we entered this world, but Shen Qiu was able to find the world map in the first place, decipher the world's language, and find a large communication device to gather everyone together. Now he has found the stabilizer by coincidence. If you say that all this is luck, isn't this luck too good?"
"What do you mean? Shen Qiu might know some secrets?"
"Yes, at the very least he must have information about this world."
"Even so, that's his ability, he has no obligation to share it with us. Why think so much, we just need to be able to go back."
"All right."
Gu Feng nodded, but he glanced at Shen Qiu out of the corner of his eye.
To be honest, if it were someone else, he would definitely give it a try.
But if this person is Shen Qiu, it will be very tricky. After all, his own strength is there, and there are so many powerful people around him.
At this time, Wu Di shouted loudly and spoke to everyone.
"Everyone get ready and wait for the night to fall."
"yes!"
Everyone responded with great enthusiasm.
…
In the evening.
The crowd dispersed and went to the nearby streets to wait.
Shen Qiu and others were waiting in the hall with Wu Di and others.
"Here we go. Do you think there will be any overlap tonight?"
"It should be fine. After all, the stabilizers are turned off."
"Uh-huh."
…
The people who stayed behind were also discussing nervously.
Shen Qiu and the others kept staring at Chen Ye. Chen Ye swallowed and said.
"Boss, don't stare at me. I'm under a lot of pressure. If I detect any overlap, I will definitely tell you the first time."
"knew."
Shen Qiu sighed and turned his head to look to the side.
Time passes by little by little.
In the blink of an eye, twelve o'clock passed, and no one found any signs of overlap.
At this time Wei Wuyan couldn't help but speak.
"Why hasn't there been any overlap yet? Half of the night has already passed."
"That's right, why don't you come out?"
"Don't worry, take your time! If it doesn't work today, wait until tomorrow. It will eventually appear."
Shen Qiu spoke to comfort her.
"Um."
When everyone heard Shen Qiu's words, they suppressed their impetuous hearts.
At this moment a fly was flying in the street.
Suddenly, the air ahead twisted, and a bustling street vaguely appeared in the air.
In the hall, Chen Ye shared the fly's vision, jumped up from the ground, and shouted in ecstasy.
“Found the overlap!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Qiu and others all gathered around and asked anxiously.
"Where?"
"It's right at our nine o'clock direction, about 27 kilometers away!"
Chen Ye accurately reported the overlapping position.
"Look carefully, is it leading to the Red Alliance?"
Wu Di suppressed his excitement and asked.
"Yes, it is the city leading to the Red Alliance. I can see it clearly."
Chen Ye said with certainty.
After listening to this, Shen Qiu immediately shouted to the people who stayed in the hall.
"Beautiful! Gather everyone immediately!"
"yes!"
The people who stayed behind in the building rushed out immediately.
…
Not long after, Shen Qiu and his companions, along with Wu Di and others, ran towards the overlapping area.
Along the way, Shen Qiu kept asking Chen Ye questions.
“Has the overlap disappeared?”
"No, it hasn't disappeared yet!"
Chen Ye replied very nervously.
"Everyone, hurry up!"
Shen Qiu turned around and urged everyone, saying that they had finally found the overlap. If they missed it, they didn't know how many days they would have to wait for the next time.
Even though they are hiding here and nothing is happening, the enemy may come to find them at any time.
When Wei Wuyan and others heard Shen Qiu's call, they all ran desperately.
It wasn't long before they rushed to the overlapping streets and saw the overlap in front of them.
At this time, the overlap is already somewhat vague and seems to be about to disappear.
"Quick, go in!"
Shen Qiu immediately stopped and shouted to everyone behind him.
When Yun Xiaoxi and others saw Shen Qiu stop, they stopped without hesitation.
Wu Di looked around vigilantly to prevent any unexpected events.
After all, the more critical the moment, the more likely accidents are to happen.
At this time, under the urging of Shen Qiu, everyone rushed into the overlap excitedly.
Gu Feng glanced at Shen Qiu and the others who were cleaning up the mess, then rushed in as well.
A minute later, most people rushed in and overlapped, leaving only Shen Qiu's entire team, Yun Chuyu, Wu Di, Qi Lin and Muchen.
Wu Di said to Shen Qiu.
“It’s time to go!”
"good!"
Shen Qiu responded quickly.
But just when Shen Qiu was about to rush into the overlap, suddenly the blurry black shadow appeared in front of Shen Qiu with his arms open.
It looked like he wasn't going to let Shen Qiu in.
Shen Qiu looked stunned and stopped subconsciously.
Yun Xiaoxi saw that Shen Qiu suddenly stopped moving and shouted anxiously.
"Shen Qiu, hurry up! The overlap is about to disappear!"
"Shen Qiu, what are you doing? Go away!"
Wu Di became a little anxious when he saw Shen Qiu standing there motionless.
Mu Chen and Qi Lin frowned when they saw Shen Qiu standing there in a very awkward situation.
Anji immediately spoke to Shen Qiu very anxiously.
"Shen Qiu, hurry up, the overlap is about to disappear!"
Just as Shen Qiu was about to raise his foot, the dark shadow kept shaking his head, refusing to let him go.
Shen Qiu was in a state of confusion for a moment, his expression changed, and then he gritted his teeth and spoke to Wu Di and the others.
"You guys go first!"
When Wu Di heard Shen Qiu's words, he became very angry and stomped his feet.
"Are you kidding me? What happened? If you don't leave, I won't leave either."
Qi Lin turned and said to Muchen.
"Aren't you going to go first?"
Mu Chen replied with a wry smile.
"I want to leave too, but Shen Qiu seems to have a problem. I'll stay and see what happens."
“Heh~”
Qi Lin sneered after hearing this.
Yun Xiaoxi bit her lips lightly and said to Chen Ye and the others.
"If Shen Qiu doesn't leave, I won't leave either."
"You must be joking. How can we leave if the boss doesn't leave?"
The most timid Chen Ye gritted his teeth and said.
"Me too."
Qi Dong said without any hesitation.
Bei Kailun looked indifferent. It made no difference to him whether he left or not.
"Since Mr. Shen Qiu is not leaving, then I won't leave either."
Yun Chuyu's pretty face showed a gentle smile.
"you… "
Shen Qiu looked at the people who stayed behind and was deeply moved.
At this time, the overlap completely disappeared and the entire street returned to normal.
Wu Di walked over and said in a deep voice.
"Okay, stop being so nagging and tell us why you suddenly don't want to leave."
"That dark shadow came out and wouldn't let me leave."
Shen Qiu took a deep breath and said.
Wu Di and the others looked at each other, their faces full of astonishment.
At this time Qi Lin immediately spoke.
"Since the other party won't let you go, there must be a purpose. See if it is guiding you."
Shen Qiu then turned his head and looked around, only to see the black shadow appear on the street in the distance, waving at Shen Qiu.
"Yes, it seems to be leading me somewhere."
"Then follow it and find out what's going on! So far, judging from its actions, it seems to have no malicious intent."
Qi Lin analyzed rationally.
"Okay, let's go!"
Shen Qiu then led everyone towards the black shadow.
And that black shadow began to disappear and reappear frequently, using itself to guide Shen Qiu and the others.
Soon Shen Qiu and his friends were led to the entrance of an underground express passage.
They ran forward along this underground express passage.
On the way, Shen Qiu asked Qi Lin.
"Qi Lin, where are we going now?"
"Run to the inner city!"
Qi Lin looked at the map and said.
"That means we are heading towards the most dangerous area."
Yun Xiaoxi said uneasily.
"It's okay. It shouldn't be a problem to follow it. If the other party wanted to harm us, they would have led us into the monster group long ago."
Shen Qiu replied calmly.
"Yeah! I think so too."
Wu Di said in agreement.
So Shen Qiu and the others made up their minds and followed the black shadow closely.
…
