Doomsday Wonderland

[This is anti-theft, everyone goes to bed first! This chapter will probably take a long time]

After opening the door and walking out of the A-17 Pier Hall, there is a long corridor. The surface of the walkway is composed of countless fine pebbles and is coated with a layer of beige paint. In addition to being a little uneven when walking on it, it also makes people worry that the pebbles under their feet will slip, causing people to walk from a few hundred meters away. He fell from a high altitude - after all, there were no protective measures on both sides of this extended walkway. When he looked down, he saw that the pedestrians under his feet were like a colony of ants, flowing slowly and darkly on the ground.

Looking into the distance from this height, you can just see the waists of the buildings in the Cyber ​​Zone; the gray-black buildings, with the little lights coming from the windows, are still extending upward in the night...as if there is no It seems like an end. When Lin Sanjiu looked at them, he couldn't help but wonder what the people living on the top floor were going to do.

There were two rows of indicator lights embedded on the ground on both sides of the walkway. The small white light spots stretched out and disappeared a hundred meters away, as if they were swallowed up by the huge black shadow at the end of the walkway—— This giant beast suspended in mid-air was the spaceship she was about to board this time. Lin Sanjiu stopped, took half a step back, tilted her head and looked at the "spaceship" carefully.

——For a person from the earth, this "ship", like most of the man-made structures on the Red Nautilus, looks beyond her imagination. If he didn't know what this thing was first, I'm afraid Lin Sanjiu would never associate it with transportation.

Looking at it from a distance, the steel platform in the distance was probably at least several thousand square meters. It was as if someone had dug up a square and placed it in the air... Just as she thought of this, she suddenly heard something behind her. There were slight footsteps not far away, and without waiting for the person behind him to urge him, he hurriedly walked towards the spacecraft at a faster pace.

The aisle is too narrow for two passengers to walk side by side.

Like walking on a balance beam high in the sky, Lin Sanjiu quickly reached the bottom of the steel platform without squinting.

She didn't know where the main body of the spacecraft was or what it looked like, but apart from the vast flat plate above its head, there was only this huge "box" hanging under its belly - sealed by layers of steel plates. When you look at the "box" from a close distance, you can't even see the end of it; two of the steel plates are staggered by a certain distance, and a pale light shines from inside. As soon as she walked to the door, a young man with a tired face and wearing work clothes inside shouted at her footsteps without raising his eyes: "... Area R on the right is the open space with the door open. Find a place to sit by yourself.”

Lin Sanjiu deliberately made herself look like an experienced passenger and got in without saying a word - but her bone wings naturally caused her a little trouble; as she bent over and walked by, The row of sharp blades at the end of the bone wing was not controlled properly and almost cut the young man's face in half - but at least it got in without any blood.

The young man looked at her back with a pale face for a while, then suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Be careful, you will have to pay for any damage to our goods!"

At this time, Lin Sanjiu had already reached the door of Area R. She sighed silently when she heard these words.

"Who told you to only buy the cheapest ticket?" After a while, Teacher Yi muttered.

——After cursing her bone wings secretly again, she squeezed them tightly behind her back and carefully squeezed into the narrow door of Area R. On both sides of Area R, iron boxes as big as warehouses filled every inch of the space and were piled up to the ceiling; only the fluorescent lamps above the aisle were still barely shining light downwards.

Sometimes when the cargo ship is full, if there happens to be some empty space, some passenger tickets will be sold at half the price of ordinary passenger ships - but there is neither water nor seats, and sometimes you can't even stretch your legs. Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt a little aggrieved when he remembered that he was pleasantly surprised when he saw the ticket.

Area R seems to be only twenty or thirty square meters in size at most, which is pitifully small compared to the size of this spacecraft. Even such a small amount of time was not wasted. Lin Sanjiu didn't know whether she should be grateful for her luck. When she walked in, there were already four or five people sitting in the corner - of course, after seeing her bone wings, almost everyone showed an unwelcome look on their face.

... She shamelessly found a place and stood with her arms crossed. Perhaps it was because Lin Sanjiu looked so fierce when her face was cold and expressionless, so even though she occupied a large space, no one said anything in the end.

The footsteps walking behind her just now came to the door of Area R with the same weight and frequency; a young woman poked her head through the narrow entrance. Lin Sanjiu subconsciously looked up and was startled - but a low cry was frozen before it could escape her throat, and was immediately swallowed alive. She watched the woman walk in in surprise, looked around, and sat down opposite her.

When he first glanced at her, Lin Sanjiu almost thought this person was Sajie.

But upon closer inspection, this woman is completely different from Sajie - whether it is hair color, facial features, or height and body shape, they are obviously two different people; the reason why they almost admit the mistake is because this woman also has a pair of black The eyes are almost bursting, and the thick scarf around the neck.

As if she noticed Lin Sanjiu's gaze, the strange woman slightly raised her lips at her.

Although there were ups and downs in his heart, Lin Sanjiu remained motionless on the surface and turned his head expressionlessly.

It was impossible to sell many tickets in a space of twenty or thirty square meters; after the tenth person walked into Area R, the tired young man followed him to the door.

"Everyone, listen carefully. This flight will take five days. You will disembark at Hubble Port and transfer to another spacecraft." He held the door with one hand and said absently, "...just keep walking along the aisle towards that end. It's the bathroom. Before takeoff, the entrance you enter will be locked. Although you can move around in the aisle, it's best to stay in the R area... Hey, it doesn't matter, you can't hit these container areas anyway. Open. Don't touch our things casually, and don't fight, otherwise someone will be responsible for throwing them out for you."

He didn't bother to look at everyone's reactions, and turned around and left as soon as he said the last word. After a while, the "click" of steel pulleys and locks came from the direction they came from.

The ten strangers stayed as close as possible to each other in the cramped space and fell into silence.

The silence was soon submerged in the slight roar of the spacecraft when it started up - when this sturdy-looking iron guy turned around and took off, he felt very unstable, and the steel hull around him buzzed and shook for a while. . When the trajectory of the spacecraft finally smoothed out, several passengers each found a more comfortable position, sitting or lying down. A middle-aged woman with brown hair walked past Lin Sanjiu, left Area R, and walked into In the aisle.

It was only then that she had time to raise her doubts to Teacher Yi.

"...Was I dreaming? Or was it a hallucination?" Even now, when she recalls the real world, she still feels dazed. "It's too realistic. No, if there weren't any suspicious things, it would be a completely different reality... In comparison, this bizarre spaceship, the red nautilus, etc., are more like a dream. "

"I can't say..." Teacher Yi said, "This is also the first time I have seen such a thing. But the beautiful red eyes and blue banknotes you saw at that time were actually my doing. I can't tell you. Even if I wake you up, I can’t reach you, so I have to create some images and instill them into you... If not, I guess you are still in the world of your hometown, living an ordinary life day after day."

Lin Sanjiu was startled and couldn't help but tremble - "No wonder! The other people were completely trapped in that layer of hallucinations and couldn't even wake up..."

If it hadn't been for Teacher Yi, I'm afraid that a few months later, she would be lying in a pile of people with the same dying appearance.

"Then how did you realize something was wrong?" She asked in her mind. On the surface, she was still as calm as water, as if she was concentrating with her eyes closed, without showing any sign that she was talking to anyone.

"It should be said that you are lucky." Teacher Yi's voice became a little more relaxed, "Those white smoke made you dream about the world in your hometown, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net is perfectly normal for you; so once At first, I was confused, thinking that I was you, living in your body... But soon I discovered that you and I are two different consciousnesses, and you seemed to be completely unaware of my existence - also It is precisely because I woke up first and realized my own existence that I knew your situation was abnormal."

Although it was a bit confusing, Lin Sanjiu had experienced the horrifyingly realistic reality first-hand, and she quickly understood it - at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Indeed, if what I dream about is not my hometown, but a part of the apocalyptic world... fighting, surviving, looking for a visa, etc.... then I'm afraid neither of us will realize what's wrong, and then I really won't be able to sleep. ——”

This sentence was choked by her, and a thought that followed hit her like an electric shock.

Her face gradually turned pale.

"You don't mean..." Teacher Yi stammered.

"Was I really sober before I dreamed about my hometown?" Lin Sanjiu said softly in her heart - more like forcing her to find the answer on her own.
