A huge fireball rose from the other side of the city, and the sound of the huge explosion reverberated in the cavernous city like a bell. Hao Ren looked at Yizaks in astonishment: "What are you doing, old king?"
"Big news," Y'zaks turned his head and pointed at the TV on the wall with a blank expression, "and wait to see if there will be any reports."
Nangong Wudi and Elsa stared at the flames at the far end of the city, and after a long time, they all said "Oh" at the same time. Elsa sighed softly: "We didn't dare to make such a big noise back then."
Nothing happened for ten minutes after the explosion. It wasn't until the fireball dissipated and the buildings near the explosion point were completely swallowed by the blazing and inextinguishable demonic flames that everyone heard the sound of sirens in the distance, and some flickering lights. The oval aircraft with warning lights rushed towards the scene of the fire along the steel girders of the city roof. Hao Ren stood on the balcony and looked into the distance. With his extraordinary eyesight, he could see the situation in the explosion area: many machines and equipment were busy putting out the fire, and the roads near the fire area were blocked, and some robots were directing traffic at the intersection. , the passing vehicles chose to take a detour under the command of those robots. Hao Ren's attention was quickly diverted from the fire, and instead focused on the detoured vehicles—he suddenly thought that since these vehicles were all operating under the control of a huge unmanned system, the coordination between them It should be perfectly coordinated. In this case, why do we need robots to direct traffic at intersections
Is it just the bad taste of the designer of this city (or should it be called "the watcher outside the glass house")? In order to simulate the appearance of human society here
"We can take action tomorrow," Y'zaks walked over from behind and said beside Hao Ren. "Wait a day today and see what will happen in the news tomorrow. I want to confirm something."
This place has plenty of rooms, and it is easy to clean up enough to be comfortable. Hao Ren and his party spent the first night in this strange city, which was not very safe: from the second half of the night, there are always various Sirens came from other blocks, and Y'zaks' big fireball caused more commotion than expected. Lily was complaining early the next morning that she didn't sleep well last night. But to be honest, Hao Ren was quite skeptical: Anyone around me could suffer from insomnia, but this heartless husky... How could her brain structure support such a complicated symptom of insomnia
A group of people wasted time in the Nangong couple's house, while paying attention to news reports that might appear at any time. And soon they got what they wanted.
The morning news began to be broadcast on the TV. A woman in a beige short jacket with a professional smile appeared on the screen, reading the script with a slightly nervous expression: "...an urgent news. What happened in a block of 'Shenhe Station' last night A very large-scale mysterious explosion caused four residential buildings to be completely destroyed at the moment of the explosion. More than ten buildings were burned by the fire after the explosion, and the total damaged area reached the entire block. The fire has stopped spreading after the fire department fought all night. , but the fire within the fire range has not subsided... "
Lily patted Y'zaks on the back hard: "Big man, you made a lot of noise."
Y'zaks raised his chin calmly: "Don't worry, pay attention to see if there is anything wrong."
At this time, the announcer on TV finished reading the manuscript, and suddenly the camera flicked to the side: "... We urgently contacted the chief of the Fire Safety Department of Shenhe Station. Mr. Wayne Romm. Now, please Mr. Wayne Romm to introduce us about the The research progress of the explosion incident."
A broadcast window appeared on the screen, and a tall bald man stood in the broadcast window: "...the cause of the explosion has not been investigated yet. The last picture sent back by the on-site monitoring equipment shows that the explosion suddenly appeared out of thin air, a huge fireball Formed first in the air and subsequently disrupted the signal in the field…”
After half a day of this Wayne Rom balabala, the camera changed again, this time a gray-haired, dark-skinned old man appeared, and the voice-over introduced: "Loken, the commander of Deep River Station, is very concerned about the explosion..."
Everyone in front of the TV stared. I was stunned and speechless.
Y'zaks turned around: "I guess the city we're staying in is called 'Deep River Station'."
Hao Ren pointed to the figure on the screen and looked at Nangong and his wife: "This is the commander and officials of Shenhe Station... Why is there a mayor in this empty city again?"
Nangong Wudi opened his mouth and waved his hands: "We have never heard of such people."
At this time, there was a sudden clicking sound outside the door, and everyone fell silent. Lily ran to open the door on tiptoe, and returned to the living room after a while with a newspaper that still smelled of ink: "Today's newspaper... the headline on the front page It's the news about the explosion in the block, and there is a photo of the chief of the city's fire safety department on it, and the text below says that these big shots have come to the scene to guide the disaster relief... "
Nangong Sanba reached out to take the newspaper, and gently twisted the paper: "It was just printed."
Everyone looked at the newspapers and TV in front of them with creepy expressions, and looked at the faces on them. It depicted such a normal world—Hao Ren suddenly realized that he should revise his initial guess.
"'They' are simulating the scene that human society still exists," Y'zaks reached out and turned off the slightly noisy TV, "'They' are forcibly pretending that the world is still alive."
Lily blinked: "Who are 'they'?"
"Then we have to find the behind-the-scenes director who produced these programs and newspapers." Hao Ren took a deep breath, "Get ready, let's go out and make some noise."
The group had already cooperated tacitly, and after Hao Ren made a decision, everyone was ready to act. They walked towards the gate, Nangong Wuyue was the last, and turned to greet her parents: "Dad, Mom, come on, this should be your last day in this city."
Nangong and his wife looked at each other and smiled at the same time. Nangong Wudi greeted everyone who had already walked outside the door: "Wait a moment, let me equip all the outfits I used back then!"
Nangong and his wife have lived in this city for a hundred years. Originally, they had the opportunity to discover many secrets—and they themselves should also be able to vaguely realize some truths about the world around them. It's just that they are different from Hao Ren, they have no way to leave, the environment on the surface of the planet is unbearable, in comparison, this strange and even false city is their only reliable and safe refuge, so they never thought Don't debunk anything here.
But now, a group of guys who don't have to worry about leaving the shelter have come, and this false glass house will soon be unveiled.
Hao Ren took the lead and led his small team out of the residential area in a hurry, walking along the avenue to the end of the city. The lights of the city dome are being turned on one by one, simulating the arrival of the morning sun, and more and more small robots are also appearing on the streets like the citizens who go to work in the morning. They continue to wipe the street lights, clean the railings, and clean the streets that do not exist Garbage, checks every empty trash can on the side of the road, makes it all look bustling.
Everyone was walking on the main road in the city, and there were neatly arranged billboards on both sides of the road. The screens on one side suddenly brightened up at the same time, and a bustling and lively Taiping Shengshi began to play. The laughter from the speakers and the happy smiles on the monitor seemed to surround this small team.
Billboards on the side of the road shouted: "...the shelter provides the most meticulous security services for you and your family. We have tens of kilometers of rock formations and steel protection. You will be far away from the cold and vacuum of the surface world. Live In a safe and comfortable new paradise...”
A taxi loudly broadcasts around the crowd: "...who wants to leave their safe home for an adventure in an unpredictable place? Give up these naive ideas of youth and frivolity. You can take this car and go to the city center to build a new building. While away the day in the leisure plaza, you will realize that it is more comfortable than any ice and snow place… ”
A little cleaning robot happily circled around Hao Ren's feet: "Weijie Kali Company, an expert in cleaning equipment manufacturing, provides you and your loved ones with meticulous sanitation services—can you imagine a person leaving Weijie? How messy will the world of Kali automatic equipment be? You need Weijie Kali, you need everything here, and you need a home that is always clean and comfortable!"
More and more robots and vehicles are appearing on the streets, as if the whole world is beginning to press down here. Hao Ren reached out to stop a taxi next to him, pointed his head to the pile of blinking lights on the driver's seat and said, "Would you like to take us out of this city?"
The console lights of the taxi dimmed immediately: "Sorry, the vehicle is malfunctioning."
Hao Ren took out his silver long gun and side gun from the portable space, and winked at Vivienne beside him: "It seems that no one will give us a ride."
A mighty mechanical army is gathering in front of everyone.
(There will be a power outage during the day tomorrow, and the update time can only be determined = .=) (to be continued~^~)
