Doomsday Wonderland

"I...I heard a rumor."

While Lin Sanjiu was sitting on top of the tall industrial shelves, condensing her consciousness bit by bit, her mind suddenly moved, and she heard low voices coming from underneath the darkness. It's a female voice.

After the advertisement took effect, the dozens of people they captured were released one after another, and now only the three people sitting under the shelves were left. There was only one woman among the dozen or so people, her surname was Zheng. She was nearly middle-aged and had short, wavy hair. Zheng An also had the most difficulty when giving orders to her subordinates - she and others gave the same unreasonable orders, but she was the only one who was cared about by her subordinates: "Mr. Zheng, have you been a little moody these days?" Chemical? Do you want to rest for two days? "

With surprise, Lin Sanjiu listened carefully to other people's daily phone calls and found that no one was suspected of being very "emotional", despite the fact that it was impossible for these hostages who were suddenly kidnapped not to be emotional. .

At this time, she did not need to speak in a more decisive tone than her peers. "I've heard before that there are not many people like them hidden in our society, but a few will appear from time to time."

"Where did you hear that? What else?" Mr. Zhang, who was the first to change the advertisement, asked in a low voice in a hurry.

After such a period of time together, let alone Stockholm, a subtle mutual understanding has been formed between the hostages and the kidnappers. Under the premise of mutual cooperation, the hostages were loosened and could move, talk, and go to the toilet in a limited area, while the kidnappers were like herders grazing sheep, sitting high on the shelves and watching.

"A while ago, didn't you always receive those kind of bad text messages from dangerous people? The kind with a long series of numbers and no phone number," Zheng An said in a low voice, "One of them said, The existence of such people has been covered up because...because...well, I can't tell. Anyway, the text message said that they are superpowers who are dissatisfied with society. What else is waiting for them to solve social injustice? Such nonsense. You know, the kind of stuff that only low-level losers would post——"

"No, no,"

A laugh suddenly rang out from the shelf opposite Lin Sanjiu. A man climbed up from the shelf, stretched his head out, and joined in the conversation below: "Don't worry, there's not a single fact in that text message. Why? You think we're just falling asleep if we don't talk?"

"No...it's not..."

"We have said this many times," the young man crossed his legs and said as if chatting: "We just need to go back and forth from wherever we go. I have been here for two months, and I have seen everything I want to see and don't want to see. I’ve seen it, it’s very boring. I just want to leave quickly. You created this world yourself, why should we care about your life and death?”

The people below were silent. Lin Sanjiu looked up at him and smiled slightly at him.

As the first evolver to respond to the advertisement, Maruchingo is indeed worthy of his strongest attribute: speed. It only took him less than two days from contacting and meeting to joining the hostage guarding work. In his words, "Even if I can leave here just one second earlier, I would be willing to exchange my visa for it."

More than two months ago, when Maruchingo was first teleported, he happened to land in a middle school.

When he realized that his destination was a school in a pre-apocalyptic world, he was really happy at that time - "The school has a cafeteria, a health room, and a place to sleep. All the teachers and students of the school come and go, When they are gone, the whole school is my territory. Do you think there is any better base than the school as we prepare for the apocalypse in six months?"

So Maruchinge settled in this middle school. The sporting goods warehouse became his bedroom. After the meal was ready in the cafeteria, he first went to secretly scoop out a large plate. After two days, he even got a name tag and pretended to be a school employee. He came and went, and his life was pretty good. Moisturize.

"After two weeks, I just couldn't take it anymore."

When they first met, they all gathered in He Huan's apartment. Maru Qingge crossed his legs, put one toe on the ground, and pushed the chair back.

"I've seen a boy whose bangs were a little too long, and he was grabbed by the collar, shaken, and called him a little gangster. I've also seen a girl stand in the Monday school meeting and admit her mistake in front of the whole school, admitting that she fell in love early. It’s not over yet, you still have to read out the little notes passed between the two people one by one. The two are in love and let the girl come out to read. The students and teachers below laugh together. I’m afraid that I can’t live here any longer. I can’t bear this temper.”

"It's normal here," He Huan said with the same indifferent expression, "If you don't know how to do as the Romans do when you go out, you will be easily noticed when you go out."

"I don't understand, I can't stand it, I can't stand it." Maru Qingge said, "I just want to leave as soon as possible. When I have a child in the Twelve Realms, whoever dares to do this to him will be slapped on his face by me. Lose."

He looked young, at most he was in his early twenties when he evolved, and he had not yet gotten married and had children, but he had a special tenderness towards children. Towards the adults in this world, Maru Qingge is as indifferent as He Huan - regardless of whether they are children or adults, the latter's attitude is very simple and can be summed up in four words, "It's none of my business."

Lin Sanjiu felt that she might have had the same attitude, but after meeting Wu Lun, she felt a little softer in her heart.

"Do you want to start a family in the Twelve Realms?"

Because she remembered that conversation, when the three hostages below were obedient and silent again, she asked the other party softly.

Maru Qingge said "Yeah" and said, "If I meet another person."

"Aren't you afraid that after you have a family, you will be separated again?"

"...It's a lie to say I'm not afraid."

After a while, he whispered: "But... my first few worlds were in the Twelve Worlds. I usually work for the Visa Officers Association, so I know the internal situation of the visa system much better than the average person. You know the ten The history of the Second Realm is very long, right?”

Lin Sanjiu nodded, knowing that the other party could see clearly.

"Anyone who goes to the Twelve Realms must find a way to stay in the Twelve Realms. Even if he cannot get a visa from the Twelve Realms, he must try to get a similar visa. Very few people are randomly teleporting with nothing - I have been around for eight Nine years later, this is the only time I got unlucky."

He suddenly smiled, as if he couldn't help but feel happy. "Over the course of decades and hundreds of years, countless evolvers have continued to repeat this action of obtaining visas. You think, the visa officer has a high safety factor, few die, many new recruits come in, and with the random As their abilities continue to evolve, more and more visas are issued, and over time, won’t there be fewer and fewer naturally transmitted ones?”

Lin Sanjiu suddenly realized what he was going to say and was surprised. "But, the visa officer's visa is determined based on the natural transmission destination?"

"Yes. When the number of people naturally transported between the twelve worlds gradually decreases, you would think that the visa officer would issue fewer and fewer visas, right?" Maru Qingge couldn't help laughing again, "I What I want to tell you is an inside story from the Twelve Worlds, and the Visa Officers Association has tried hard to hide this news for a long time."

"What?"

"The number of visas they issue has basically remained unchanged, and is even increasing as their capabilities are upgraded. But because there are fewer natural transmissions, there are also fewer visas in random apocalyptic worlds. What is left?"

Lin Sanjiu's whole body felt numb. "Now the visa officer has...all the visas from the twelve realms?"

"I can't say it's all true." Maruchingge said with a smile, "But there are so many visas in the Twelve Worlds that it makes the visa officers upset. Anything becomes worthless when there are too many... The association has long given it to everyone The visa officers have given orders not to issue the extra twelve-tiered visas even if they are wasted, so as not to damage the market price."

No wonder the Twelve Worlds visa was still so expensive when she was in Biluo Huangquan.

"Paper cannot contain the fire," Maru Qingge exhaled lightly and said, "What's more, this is a major matter related to the life and death of the entire twelve realms of evolution. After receiving the news, the other eleven organizations could not sit still. We are here, and we are jointly negotiating with the Visa Officers Association. Oh, it was what happened before I left, and there was a big fuss. The reason why I was unlucky enough to be teleported actually had something to do with it."

He didn't mention the specific relationship.

Lin Sanjiu looked down at the hostages under the shelves and found that their heads were half raised and their ears were straight up. It was meaningless for them to listen. She simply didn't care and just sighed: "If most people can settle down in the Twelve Realms..."

"Yes," Maruzingge could hardly suppress the longing in his voice, and whispered: "We will all be able to live well in the Twelve Realms by then... Even if we build an ordinary life, it will not be impossible. Possibly. I really sympathize with those evolutionaries who don’t know the news and decide to stay in this world.”

However, there was still a big flood... The energy that had just warmed up in Lin Sanjiu's chest was suddenly grasped by a cold hand.

However, it seems that the Great Flood has not had a fundamental impact on the Twelve Realms. Perhaps this is a hope?

"So, when I saw your advertisement, I was so happy." Maru Qingge murmured and suddenly sat up.

"Someone is coming," when he reminded, Lin Sanjiu also noticed the footsteps. "Is it He Huan and that girl?"

"That girl" is the second evolver who came in response to the advertisement. It is said that there is a very strange custom in her place of origin: if she is a boy, her surname is male; if she is a girl, her surname is female. In order not to duplicate her name, she could add as many characters as she wanted after her last name - so her real name had a total of 27 characters. The other three evolvers couldn't remember it, so they had to choose the first character and call her Nuyue.

Normally, it doesn't matter, but when handing out paper cranes, it's really life-threatening. If you make a mistake, the paper cranes will fly back; everyone simply uses mobile phones to contact each other, since the hostages have a lot of mobile phones anyway.

"We're back!"

Before he could see the figure, Nuyue's voice greeted him from a distance, and even the scattered echoes in the factory were filled with vitality. Apart from Lin Sanjiu, she was the one who stayed here for the shortest time, only more than a month. However, like all other evolvers, her abilities and physique began to decline after fifteen days of stay. decline - Lin Sanjiu, who has also entered this stage, is very envious of her still being energetic and informally optimistic.

She herself is bitten by panic every day.

She spent every spare moment training, because she felt as if she was sinking into dark quicksand, with nowhere to focus, and soon she would no longer be able to raise her head to breathe. However, even so, the extent of her degradation was still clear and cruel - she had not heard Teacher Yi's voice for three full days, and the silence in her mind was so maddening.

"I really feel like an ordinary person now,"

The little girl with a ponytail walked between the two shelves and smiled and said hello to several hostages, which dispelled Lin Sanjiu's momentary fear. "I use my mobile phone to communicate, and I spend money to buy new clothes. I even took a taxi on the way here just now."

As she spoke, she pulled up her black turtleneck. "Here, I bought it new. I used the banknotes Lin Sanjiu gave me."

"Flow it, I have nearly a thousand more."

The female Yue nodded happily. "Oh, the taxi driver just now was a former evolutionist. Of course, the place where I got off the car was some distance from here. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net I didn't let him know the location."

The other three people suddenly fell silent for a few seconds.

When Maruchinge first joined, he had already told the two of them that he was chasing a taxi to ask for the address, but was stopped by the evolution driver; but was it because the driver was timid or was there something wrong in between? , based on this little information, even He Huan couldn't make a judgment. Suddenly, another evolutionary driver appeared, and unlike before, he was willing to drive the girl over, which made people suspicious.

"We met the same person before, and he didn't want to have anything to do with us." Lin Sanjiu said thoughtfully, "Is there more than one evolutionist driving a rental car here?"

That's incredible.

"I was sitting in the back and didn't see what he looked like." Nu Yue whispered, "We all met...is it a coincidence?"

"There is a way."

Maruchinge suddenly raised his index finger to tell them to wait, then turned around and took out a round glass with a handle from somewhere. It looked like a girl's makeup mirror. He walked up to Nuyue, placed the round glass in front of her eyes, and said, "Recall what you saw."

As Nuyue recalled, like a movie, a picture slowly appeared in front of the round glass: in the taxi, there was the back of the driver's head and a profile in front of the ears; outside the car, trees and telephone poles kept falling back.

"Now you come to recall," Maru Qingge took away the round glass and held it in front of Lin Sanjiu and said. The scene created by Nuyue's memory just now still had vivid colors floating in the air, and several hostages were dumbfounded.

... After comparing the two memory "pictures", it became clear: the three of them met the same taxi driver.
