Doomsday Wonderland

1308

That night, Lin Sanjiu tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

In a society without the Internet, even if she wanted to look up information about "Anida", she would have to wait until she went to work in the library tomorrow - even the Twelve Worlds had wooden fish forums, but this modern society seemed too primitive. . She was lying on the floor that Wu Lun had made for her, and the quilt and pillows were filled with this little girl's breath. It smelled very strange, but it felt a bit strange to be so close to her.

Wu Lun didn't fall asleep either. The two of them stayed up until two or three o'clock without saying a word. BA suddenly asked: "How are you going to find your friend?"

"Do not you go to sleep?"

"I'm afraid you'll do something to me while I'm asleep." Wu Lun whispered. After thinking about it, she added a few words: "However, you don't seem to have a bad heart, but it feels... too scary. I used to read novels that describe the kind of generals who emerge from mountains of swords and seas of blood, with murderous intent in their bodies. , I didn’t understand it at that time…”

"You will have it too in the future."

"This is not money! I don't want any at all."

When the end comes, she won't be able to do it anymore. But then again...when will the end come? When Lin Sanjiu carefully examined this point, she suddenly discovered a problem: everyone only said that there is a kind of visa that can send evolved people back to six months before the end of the world - but no one said How long ago? If Anida is truly an evolver, and he came to this world decades in advance, wouldn’t it also be six months “before” the end of the world?

Thinking about it this way, she was not sure exactly when Ren Nan appeared in the extreme temperature hell; the time when the two of them dated happened to fall within a period of six months...

Her heart suddenly tightened, Lin Sanjiu turned over and sat up, feeling a little out of breath from her own thoughts - or rather, Ji Shanqing's thoughts - because when she was thinking just now, she subconsciously simulated a gift bag .

"What's wrong with you?" Wu Lun asked from the bed.

Even if she hadn't thought about such an important issue before, there were so many evolvers and visa officers in the Twelve Realms that no one would have discovered it. But no one has ever mentioned that evolved people may arrive at the doomsday world decades in advance... If that were the case, how valuable would a visa for early arrival be? Isn't that equivalent to a means of getting rid of the doomsday world?

Can we think that the fact that no one mentioned it means that others don’t think this is a problem?

In other words, other evolvers may have landed in a short period of time six months ago. For example, if the end of the world occurs on August 1st, then the evolvers were all teleported between the end of January and the beginning of February. This is the most natural conjecture and is consistent with her usual cognition and impression.

But what happened to Anida? Isn't he an evolver at all?

Anida may not be, but she is.

The Great Flood is something that breaks the rules of the apocalyptic world. Logically speaking, non-apocalyptic worlds should not be affected. After all, the doomsday is the first collapse of the human world, and the Great Flood is a further collapse based on this... So it is probably the same as a visa, its tentacles can only extend to six months before the doomsday - and going forward does not count. In the apocalyptic world, there will be a question mark. Therefore, the big flood messed up the possibility of landing time. Because the probability is low, we can ignore it for the time being.

The world is now 201. Since she appears in this world at this moment, according to the inference, it can be basically concluded that the end of the world will occur around December 15th. All the evolvers who were transported to this world should have appeared in this world at this point in time...

So, what about them?

"Have there been anything in the news in the past two weeks..." After turning off the mimicry, she once again felt the inconvenience of not having the Internet. She could only ask Wu Lun: "Strange people and strangers? For example, someone with great skills?" Crazy, or someone with any special abilities?"

Wu Lun thought for a while. "I seem to have the impression, but I don't remember exactly when I saw it." When she said this, she sighed and said: "There is news about this kind of weirdo from time to time. It's normal. Have you read the newspaper? Do you think these weirdos are your friends?"

Yes, I still treat her as a mentally disturbed person.

"I have to go to work tomorrow," Wu Lun rolled up his quilt and turned over, lamenting in a low voice, "I will die..."

"Stop it." Lin Sanjiu said without hesitation. "It's almost the end of the world, why are you still working? Do you have any savings? Go and withdraw them all tomorrow and buy everything you need to buy. Food, weapons, medicine, daily necessities... I can share some with you. "

"Oh." Wu Lun didn't even have the energy to argue with her anymore. His words went in one ear and out the other.

"I also need someone to take me to the library," Lin Sanjiu said while thinking, "I also need to go to newspapers, TV stations, magazines and other places to ask if I can advertise... all of this We need a local to lead the way.”

"What kind of advertising? Advertising costs money, do you have it? I heard that a short TV commercial costs hundreds of thousands. Don't look at me, my monthly salary is 4,500."

Lin Sanjiu was silent for a long time. In fact, it doesn't seem to be a big deal if you don't rush to contact other evolutionaries. They will all show up in six months anyway... It should be too late to find the visa officer by then, right?

It seems that most of the compromises in life are mainly due to lack of money.

"It's not just about advertising," Wu Lun started, but then he had to finish. "Don't you have to spend money on food, clothing, housing and transportation? You can't stay here forever, can you? You ate me in one meal today. I can’t afford to feed you dinner for a week. Don’t you have a family? Just go home, okay?”

Gift Bao's face flashed through her mind, followed immediately by her Exodus, and the back of Bohemia running past the Exodus corridor.

Lin Sanjiu buried her face into the pillow and said nothing.

"I want to go home too," she murmured after half a minute.

Wu Lun seemed to have misunderstood a little, and sighed and said: "It's true... everyone has a hard-to-recite scripture at home. Forget it, I can't stand it when I go to work tomorrow. I'll ask the team leader for a day off. ."

She got up and took out her phone to send a text message. The screen lit up, and a small white face appeared in the dark night. "Fortunately, she knew that I was not in good condition tonight, mainly because..." Wu Lun said and glanced at Lin Sanjiu. "Eh? You've washed your face and you look good, don't you? Why did I remember you mouthing so much when I was at the counter?"

Lin Sanjiu was too lazy to talk to her.

She stayed there until four o'clock. Listening to Wu Lun's long and steady breathing, she quietly lifted the quilt and got up. When you have something on your mind, sleeping can feel like a waste of time.

At four o'clock in the morning, the city is dark blue, like a dream after falling asleep in reality. People who spent the night have gone home, and those who got up early in the morning have not yet woken up. The whole city is sleeping most deeply, and only the street lamps quietly illuminate the road, and the orange light melts into the night.

Lin Sanjiu walked along the road, taking in every bit of modern society: the breakfast shop that hadn't opened yet but steam was already rising from the back kitchen, the cars with tightly closed iron doors. In the parts repair shop, there were a few garbage bags thrown there by someone who didn't know who was piled up under the tree on the roadside. Occasionally, a car sped by. Because of her fast pace, she covered a large area without stepping on any copies; every household fell asleep peacefully without any disturbance.

The last trace of doubt in her heart was finally dispelled. She originally thought that the world might have already ushered in some form of doomsday, but it still maintained the illusion of peace - just like the mushroom society - but now she saw that this was indeed a A step-by-step world.

The sound of car tires pressing against the ground came up from behind and slowed down beside her. Lin Sanjiu looked back and saw that it was a taxi with its headlights on. The driver inside was looking out, as if to see if she would take the taxi. When she was about to wave her hand to refuse, she saw the driver hurriedly He twisted his head, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away from her quickly as if he was running for his life.

...Hasn’t all the makeup been washed off? Maybe this driver is as sensitive to power and danger as Wu Lun?

Lin Sanjiu stood on the deserted street in the early morning. She didn't know where to go for a moment. After thinking about it, she simply made a circle and headed back to Wu Lun's house in the other direction. The little girl was so scared that she was sleeping soundly. She probably didn't know that she had missed a great opportunity to get rid of Lin Sanjiu.

The place where Wu Lun lived was obviously not an expensive area. In the prosperous and upscale city center, everything is packaged neatly and effortlessly; the further you go to the suburbs, the more traces of people's efforts to live their lives are less concealable and blatantly appear on the surface. A small recycling bin for collecting scraps is located next to the barber shop, and there are patches of black sewage stains seeping out of the door of the restaurant.

Lin Sanjiu was walking, then suddenly turned her head and turned back.

When she came to the door of the scrap station, she saw that the door was locked, so she simply walked into the alley - it was quiet all around, and there were no cameras in such an alley, which was convenient for her to jump onto the wall as soon as she turned over. There was a yard underneath, which smelled like a stench; just as she had imagined, it was filled with squashed cans, plastic bottles... and old newspapers and magazines.

Lin Sanjiu fell down quietly. She didn't actually have a clear goal, but she really needed to know the world's information. After thinking about it, she simply put all the old newspapers into cards and put them away, ready to take them away and read them slowly.

"So much, when do you have to see it?" Teacher Yi, who had been silent for a long time, asked.

"I just glance at the date and title. I don't need to read everything."

Teacher Yi was silent - after a while, she suddenly spoke again. "You should practice more awareness these days. I'm... a little worried."

"What are you worried about? By the way, why have I rarely seen you talking to me in the past two days?" Even if he said something occasionally, he would immediately die out.

"I can't tell you anything..." Teacher Yi seemed a little unsure. "I'm just...a little tired, just like you are sleepy...I disappeared and rested for a day, but I was still tired when I came back. Maybe if you start practicing, I will feel better."
