Looking at the void above his head, Bai Zhi looked thoughtful.
Volume 2 The Miracle of Micro Probability: Chapter 1588 Chapter 662 Migration and Choice (4k)
The sky was overcast and there was no light at all.
Looking at the orange-yellow streetlights emitting in the distance and the long motorcade lined up densely on the street, Wang Houde couldn't help but feel worried.
It is already past ten o'clock in the morning, but the sky is as gloomy as at night... This is not normal.
But for this abnormality, in the past few days, he even felt a little bit used to it.
Although the torrential rain that swept the world that day sounded horrifying, he didn't feel anything about it. After all, the rain only lasted for about half a day. Even if it was the end of the world, apocalyptic floods and other things that were boasted on the Internet, he personally There is no feeling at all.
No matter what, life still has to go on.
He is not a player, nor is he a powerful figure. As an honest taxi driver, with a daughter who has just entered elementary school, and a gentle and virtuous wife, he can live a pretty good life. It's pretty average.
It's just that this kind of plainness seems quite fragile in this era.
Every speck of dust of the times becomes a mountain when it falls on an individual.
In this era where even personal life safety is at stake, as an ordinary person, what he can do is actually quite limited.
Try to save as much supplies as possible at home, instruct your family not to go out if nothing happens, never get close to something unusual, take out all the deposits in the bank and exchange them for portable gold bars... As an ordinary person, there are only a few things he can do. That's all.
But no matter how much preparation he made, he was still as thin as a piece of white paper in front of something that didn't make any sense.
As a taxi driver, he had three encounters with that kind of thing, and each time he came into contact with it, he narrowly escaped death. In one of them, he almost confessed to it.
... But Wang Houde himself still feels a little lucky.
Because even in such a situation, the order on their side is still intact... It is even several times better than before.
Those with ulterior motives will be immediately invited to the bureau to drink tea if they show just the slightest hint of it.
Unlike some places abroad, which have even completely fallen into anarchy and zero-dollar purchasing chaos, the number of people there who have died at the hands of humans is far greater than the number of people who have died at the hands of ghosts.
Wang Houde was very content in his heart, but there was also a trace of worry in his heart.
In today's era, there is no such thing as a safe place. Even if he told his wife and daughter to stay at home and not go out, what if those ghosts happened to show up? What about his home
His worries are not without reason.
As a taxi driver, he has always had a wide range of intelligence sources. Among the cases he knows about, there are already more than ten massacres.
Facing that kind of weird existence, ordinary people like them are too fragile.
Although this is just a small county, there are actually players from relevant departments here, but no matter how powerful they are, they cannot take care of everything.
After all, even in those first- and second-tier cities where famous players' guilds are located, don't tragedies like this happen often
In Wang Houde's heart, he has always had such a wish.
— Become a player.
Becoming a player is not for anything else, but he heard that as long as he becomes a player and joins the relevant departments, his family will be arranged to a very safe place. It is said that it seems to be a place called Cave Heaven Paradise, where ancient immortals live place.
Living in that kind of place, there will never be any intrusion from strange stories.
Even if he dies after becoming a player, his family will be properly resettled and will never be kicked out from that place.
For him, these alone are enough.
It's a pity that this wish is just a wishful thinking after all.
With a slight sigh in his mouth, leaning against the car door, Wang Houde lit a cigarette for himself.
—External lights placed on the roof of the car illuminate a small area around it, artificially providing a psychological safety zone.
In addition to Cave Heaven Paradise, what kind of safe zone has the country launched? He saw the TV news about Haicheng that day and was quite envious of that atmosphere.
Ever since the strange stories and player information were announced, there was no talk of nightlife anymore. The city was terrifyingly silent at night, and he had not experienced that kind of lively atmosphere for a long time.
It's a pity that his place is too far away from Haicheng, and there are purchase restrictions on high-speed rail and airplanes. Otherwise, he would have thought of taking his family with him and running to Haicheng to take refuge.
Even sleeping on an overpass and sleeping in the open air is better than the current life of being frightened every day. After all, it is safe there.
No matter what, living is the most important thing.
I don't know what he thought of, but Wang Houde couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.
Originally, he thought that nationwide promotion and preparation of a major project like the "Safe Zone" would take at least half a year to a year. But what he didn't expect was that even after the concept of the "Safe Zone" was announced, it would take at least half a year to a year. A month has not passed yet, and the "safe zone" is already ready for use.
The reason why his family and the entire Linjiang County residents were on the streets early in the morning was because they were preparing to leave for the constructed safety zone.
In fact, according to the original plan, among the several nearby counties, their Linjiang County would not be ranked so high... However, something strange happened here.
First, not long ago, everyone in their entire county collectively had a nightmare that they couldn't remember the content of, and then in the past few days, the daylight here was getting later and later, and the darkness was getting earlier and earlier.
Especially in these two days, the length of time that can really be called daytime is even less than a few hours...
Just like now, it's about ten o'clock in the morning. Logically speaking, the sky should have been bright already, but it is still dark as if it is one or two o'clock in the evening.
If this trend continues to worsen, sooner or later there will come a day when day will no longer come and night will last forever.
The amazing thing is that this weird phenomenon only involves Linjiang County and part of the surrounding area. As long as you can get out of this area, the sky will return to normal.
So far, the relevant departments have not given any explanation, but they have started mobilizing them to pack up and prepare for the move a few days ago, and today is the time to set off.
Although this strange change in the sky did not bring any other abnormality to them other than disturbing their biological clocks, the frequency of those ghosts appearing in a dark environment for a long time will increase accordingly.
All relocation is imminent.
He had already cleaned up all the things and stuffed the trunk and the back seat of the car, while his wife was sleeping soundly on the passenger seat with her daughter in her arms.
Although I feel a bit reluctant to leave this place where I have lived for more than ten years and still have 10 years to pay off the mortgage, but under the current circumstances, who would care about this
Looking at the shorter and shorter fire between his fingers, Wang Houde narrowed his eyes with some satisfaction.
Although he didn't know what the situation was like in the safety zone and how they would be accommodated, he was full of expectations for his future life.
To use a local saying, life is full of hope.
And just when Wang Houde was thinking about his future life, the sound of thick and heavy footsteps came from the darkness ahead.
"Well… "
After being stunned for a moment, Wang Houde subconsciously dropped the cigarette in his hand at his feet and stamped it out.
The situation was very similar to a student caught smoking by the dean.
Not long after, as footsteps approached, two figures walked out of the darkness.
One of them was a heavily armed soldier wearing camouflage uniforms and holding a gun in his hand, while the other was a tall man with a tiger mask on his face.
…Why is there one more
Looking at the two figures walking out of the darkness in front of him, Wang Houde couldn't help being slightly stunned.
He knew that the soldier was here specifically to maintain order, and the gun he held in his hand was not for display. Once those thugs who were extremely vicious and endangering order appeared, they would shoot without hesitation.
In troubled times, heavy rules are used, and in extraordinary moments, extraordinary means must be adopted.
But the man with the tiger mask next to the warrior. He had never seen it before.
… player
While Wang Houde was guessing the identity of the other party in his mind, the tall and muscular man wearing a tiger mask suddenly turned his head and glanced in his direction.
The moment the other party's eyes fell on him, Wang Houde had a dangerous illusion in his heart that he was being targeted by a beast.
… fleeting.
After a while, when the figures of the two people disappeared into the darkness again, Wang Houde realized that he was breaking out in a cold sweat.
"How's it going? Are you scared?"
Just as Wang Houde was wiping the sweat from his forehead in shock, a voice sounded next to him, and at the same time, a cigarette was handed to him.
"Come on, have a cigarette and calm down. I estimate there are still at least one or two hours before departure."
"Who is that?"
Looking at Lao Li who had touched him from the side of his car at some point, Wang Houde reached out and took the cigarette.
"... Players in the relevant departments?"
Lao Li is his neighbor. Like him, he is a taxi driver. He is single. One person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. The two of them usually drink together, so there is no need to be polite.
The other party is very well-informed, and a large part of the gossip he knows comes from Lao Li.
"Player? The other party is not a player."
After laughing a few times, Lao Li happily took a drag on the cigarette in his hand.
"According to the information I have found out, these masked people are all subordinates of the legendary Yin Tianzi, and they are all extremely powerful."
After looking around, Lao Li leaned his head over and saw a mysterious look on his face.
"It is said that these people are absolute elites selected from hell. They are immortal and all of them have immortal bodies. Do you think they are scary or not?"
"It's really scary."
Recalling how he felt when he was stared at by the man wearing a tiger mask, Wang Houde nodded with lingering fear.
"So he's here to help maintain order?"
"if not?"
After taking a deep drag on his cigarette, Lao Li waved his hand.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Are you ready to set off here? If there is anything you need help with, just ask, and don't be polite to me."
"Okay."
Smiling and nodding, Wang Houde glanced inside the car.
"Everything has been packed away, and the rest..."
Suddenly, his eyes fell on something inadvertently and he froze there.
Under the illumination of the external light source placed on the roof of the car, Lao Li's shadow stretched out beside the car, but what was creepy was that Lao Li's shadow completely disappeared from his neck up.
Instead, there was a large group of disgusting tentacle shadows that were constantly twisting and squirming.
"You're welcome, just say whatever you have to say."
He didn't seem to realize that he had been exposed. While smoking, Lao Li patted his shoulder with dissatisfaction.
"Didn't you tell me that there are some minor problems with your brakes before? I don't know where to move this time. It's not a trivial matter if it breaks down midway. Let me check it for you."
—Looking at the scene in the car, Lao Li subconsciously licked his lips.
"..."
At this moment, Wang Houde suddenly realized who the other party was targeting.
Wang Houde glanced at his wife and daughter in the car with some reluctance, and quickly made a decision in his heart. He put his arm around the other person's shoulders and calmly blocked the other person's gaze from peeking into his car.
"Okay, what's the big deal? My car just had maintenance done yesterday. You're worried about me, but I'm also worried about you. What, do you need my help over there?"
"Well… "
He didn't seem to expect that the other party would make such a move. After a moment of confusion, he turned his head and looked at him with a half-smile.
"There is indeed a small problem with my car. What, are you going to help me take a look at it?"
"As you say, come and help me, how could I not help you?"
The expression on his face didn't change much. He punched the opponent with a chuckle. Wang Houde greedily took a puff of the cigarette in his hand.
"Okay, hurry up, I don't know when the convoy will leave, and I won't have time by then."
As he spoke, holding the other party's shoulders, Wang Houde took Lao Li and took the initiative to walk towards the other party's car in a somewhat tough manner.
—Without any hesitation.

The time was clearly past ten o'clock in the morning, but the sky was as gloomy as night.
Looking at the darkness in front of him, even Wang Houde's heart was trembling with fear at this moment, but his steps were still steady.
As a taxi driver, he has dealt with this kind of ghost several times before, so he also understands how powerless ordinary people are in resisting this kind of existence.
