1224 Old Town
"Welcome to the 'old driver' driverless taxi, the old-driver autonomous driving system will be happy to serve you, please select your destination on the electronic map in front of the seat."
Sitting in the green shell of the sports car, Lin Chi reached out and clicked on the intersection of Tongshan South Road on the map, and after fastening his seat belt, the taxi accelerated suddenly, and the scene outside the window became blurred.
At this time, Lin Chi was wearing an exoskeleton, and a small drone "possessed" by Frankenstein was quietly parked in his backpack.
He secretly called up the video from the surveillance system, so naturally it was impossible for him to call the police, otherwise he would only be the first to go to the police station to drink tea. At this time, Zhou Tianhao was also on his way to Tongshan South Road by car.
"You don't have to."
Frankenstein had a secret communication with Lin Chi through his built-in headphones: "I don't think we should participate. ”
"How can a good man like me, who is witty and brave, not save people?" Lin Chi said shamelessly, reaching out and patting his chest bound by the exoskeleton.
In addition to saving people, he was more interested in psychedelics.
Characters in virtual games are starting to come to life, which is common in all kinds of entertainment, but in the real world, it seems that it has never happened.
The question that Lin Chi wants to figure out now is which bastard is selling "psychedelics" in the real world.
In addition, there is another point that Lin Chi cares about very much:
How did Zhou Tianhao's sister know the location of the psychedelic merchant?
"Hey ......"
He dialed Zhou Tianhao's phone again and asked bluntly: "When you were investigating psychedelics, did you bring the information home?" ”
"I'm so tired from working overtime, it's been a few times I've gone home to work." Speaking of this, Zhou Tianhao also reacted immediately: "Do you think she saw the investigation materials from me, so she went to the psychedelic dealer?" ”
"It's possible." Lin Chi said seriously.
"Damn, wouldn't that mean I hurt her......" Zhou Tianhao's remorse could be felt even through the phone: "Damn, I'm really a ......"
"Don't blame yourself yet, it's not clear what happened." Lin Chi interrupted the old classmate's words: "Don't worry, your sister is an adult, and she knows very well what she is doing." ”
"You don't see what has become of those poor people who have been mad by psychedelics!" Zhou Tianhao almost roared: "I watched them being tied to the hospital bed and shouting loudly, and four people needed to hold down the sedative!" If my sister becomes like that......"
Listening to the other party's hoarse roar, Lin Chi was also silent for a while.
He knew very well that in this situation, even if he comforted the other party, it would be just a waste of effort.
Because of this, Lin Chi also omitted some nonsense and drowned out Zhou Tianhao's roar with a louder voice:
"Your sister is also a Haven of War player, right? What is her game ID? ”
"That's nothing to do with you......" Zhou Tianhao's mood fell.
Skipping Lin Chi's question, the man who worked in the Game Administration muttered in a low voice as if talking to himself: "She is obviously so obedient, but she is so timid, she can't bear to hurt even a cockroach, let alone the rat in the house......"
"Do you still have rats in your house?" Lin Chi asked in surprise.
"I don't believe she would risk such a thing, with her character, she wouldn't suddenly go crazy and find some kind of psychedelics." Zhou Tianhao continued: "And...... The Authority has searched the place, and there's nothing there? ”
"Maybe now." Lin Chi whispered: "All in all, you will know when you get to the place." ”
The speed of the driverless taxi was extremely fast, and it took less than five minutes to reach Tongshan South Road on the outskirts of the city, Lin Chi picked up his backpack and walked out of the car, stood at the intersection, and looked at the nearby situation.
It was a desolate and decaying street, with a stone paved yellow underfoot, and a few dilapidated bungalows on the left side of the road that looked as if they were about to collapse at any moment. On the right is a large wasteland, with a few willow trees growing here and there.
Today, this kind of old residential area that looks like it stayed 30 years ago is a very rare existence.
"This place is really shabby." Lin Chi said with emotion.
Before the words fell, another taxi stopped at the corner of the street, and Zhou Tianhao jumped out of the car, also carrying a red backpack on his back.
"I'm here." Lin Chi waved his hand.
"See you again, Linzi." Zhou Tianhao called out Lin Chi's nickname when he was at school.
He stood beside Lin Chi, took out a sharp short knife from his backpack, and turned around and walked towards the direction of No. 33.
"Calm down." Lin Chi reminded: "Don't stab people to death. ”
"I'm not going to let go of those bastards who coaxed my sister." Zhou Tianhao gritted his teeth and said.
"I said calm down, let's take a look at the situation inside."
As he spoke, Lin Chi turned his head to look at the dilapidated courtyard gate beside him, as well as the green mailbox hanging on the wall, on which the words "China Post" were painted with white paint.
Compared to the steel forest in the city, this residential area is almost like being in another world.
However, there is nothing surprising that this situation will occur:
The city's development has always been uneven. Of the several urban districts, the North district has the slowest rate of development.
Tongshan South Road, which is located on the outskirts of Beicheng District, is almost a decade behind. Judging from the desolation of the street, most of the residents have moved out of this residential area, and there should be only a few residents left here.
Although the houses are dilapidated, the newly installed cobweb monitoring system is still functioning. In order to avoid revealing their identities, Lin Chi and Zhou Tianhao also wore cloth masks prepared in advance.
The two walked briskly along the sidewalk, and soon reached the front of Building 33.
The walls were crawling with creepers, and the dark red curtains blocked the view of the interior. In the dim light of dusk, the two-story building resembles an eerie tombstone.
The iron door, painted with dark green paint, was locked and looked difficult to open. But for Lin Chi's exoskeleton, it is completely easy to open the door of this last century.
"Let's go in......" Zhou Tianhao lowered his voice.
"Wait a minute." Lin Chi said as he stood in front of the rusted mailbox next to the door, stretched out his right hand wearing an exoskeleton, and grabbed the rusted mailbox.
There was a click, and a rusty breath hit the face.
Lin Chi pried open the mailbox, and a stack of yellowed newspapers fell out.
Zhou Tianhao quickly caught the newspaper before it fell to the ground, and then opened it quickly: this is a copy of the Beicheng Evening News, and the date written under the headline of the newspaper is April 7, 2020.
"Until 2020, there were people ordering newspapers here." Lin Chi looked at the other newspapers piled up in the mailbox, and the time on them was also 2020.
"Leave that alone." Zhou Tianhao stood in front of the door: "I'll open the door immediately." ”
