A morning passed. At noon, Bai Xiaodang tried to knock on the door of Li Zhen's office. But she waited outside the door for a minute, and no one answered. So she hesitated and pushed the door open.

It was empty.

She walked over to the table and saw that everything on the table had been folded away, and in the middle was a letter full of words. She picked up the paper, looked at it for a while, and then folded the letter and put it in her pocket.

There were footsteps at the door, and then Pang Feihong's voice: "Really gone?" ”

"Yes." She nodded, and turned, "I left a piece of paper—it was for me." ”

"How?"

Bai Xiaodang looked at him with a smile: "It's for me." About you – he just said you do what he says. ”

Then she walked out the door and thought, "I have something to do, I'll be back in three days." ”

The fog rises in the morning, and by noon it all clears, and the sun hangs high in the sky. The ground was so hot that they screamed in despair, and the weeds on the side of the road shook weakly, as if they had lost their last bit of strength from the heat.

Li Zhen stood on the side of the road and looked ahead—there were dozens of people in front, and the team moved slowly.

Here is the gap in the separation zone, a gap that is naturally formed.

In fact, this thing has been there for a long time, but when Xiao Heng was in power, this place was tightly sealed, and it was difficult for ordinary people to get out of the scope of Yuzhou. But he lifted the ban three days ago, and he went from being a soldier who blocked the gap to a caretaker who maintained order and also served as a border sentinel.

And so it became lively - after all, an area of a million people. There must be a lot of outsiders. And these outsiders have spent the last few years looking forward to returning home to visit their relatives – even if it is not clear whether their loved ones are still alive.

He spent five minutes poring over the natural "door". But it doesn't seem to be anything special, if it weren't for the fact that an iron cage containing rabbits was placed on one side of the border, ordinary people would only think that this area, like other barriers, was a place where ordinary people would die if they touched it.

The only thing special is the two "iron cages with rabbits". There is a gap of more than three meters between the two cages, which is the horizontal distance of this door. He'd already figured out why he was putting such a strange thing in his small talk.

It is said that many animals are alerted to natural disasters – such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and the like – in advance. It is for this reason that they have engaged in these two things, and this is a method that the people came up with even earlier, when they were looking for a gap in the isolation zone.

As for whether this approach really works...... No one seems to have verified it personally. It is said that such "doors" generally appear irregularly, and when they disappear, they do not seem to have any regularity. Perhaps the two rabbits in the iron cage can really perceive the changes in the surrounding natural environment in advance, but that kind of awareness can only leave people with a second or two of reaction time.

When the man said this, Li Zhen remembered it in his heart.

In fact, of course, he could let Pang Feihong use the kind of "gate" made by Southern Luzon to send himself out of the city. However, as Bai Xiaodang said. The current Yuzhou is not a blank slate—perhaps a staff member who often meets him on weekdays has another identity. He didn't want to startle the snake.

It stands to reason that a three-meter-wide door should be fairly easy for dozens of people to pass through. But the reason why the line moved so slowly was not only because the guards guarding the door had to check their documents, but also because there was another group of people at the door.

Those people stood with the guards, most of them black and thin middle-aged people in their forties. They also wore camouflage uniforms. It's just a slightly shabby, dirty, camouflage uniform bought in a roadside store. Li Zhen had seen such people when he was in Binh Duong in the past - most of them gathered in groups of three or five on the roadside in the Shuangcheng area. Holding a card in his hand. Write about the work that you are proficient in. Or wander between the streets and alleys and look at the roadside people with a godless gaze, once you see a single man or woman walking into the alley, you will throw away the cigarette butt in your hand and quietly follow-

The people who are most afraid of this type of person are not actually the police. Rather, it is an officer of the Immigration Department. Their name is Illegal Immigrant.

But now that the quarantine zone has arrived, there is nothing to be done to arrest all the illegal immigrants - because no one wants to use a lot of resources to send them out of the "gate" - knowing that the gate of an area of the road is actually the territory of the empire, and the other side does not necessarily want to see such unstable elements in their own jurisdiction.

So the Empire's immigration laws died in name only after the catastrophe struck, and now these illegal immigrants have finally fulfilled their old wish to stay in the Empire indefinitely. It's just that I got the right of abode in this situation, and I don't know whether to cry or laugh.

But now it seems that these people have found a new job. This is also related to some of the characteristics of naturally formed "gates".

The barrier extends upward, and the upper limit is unknown. But what is certain is that the altitude seems to have transcended the outer layers of the atmosphere.

And the height of the "door" is also extremely high. They are not in the shape of an ancient city gate, but more like a gap in a wooden fence wall that has been removed from a plank. But the barrier is not a plank, and this naturally formed "door" does not mean that everyone can pass through it safely.

Under certain conditions—some unknown conditions—anomalies occur even in the "door". For example, the "space-time turbulence" that flashes by. It was like a thin cloud of smoke that flashed through the door's confines, fleeting.

But the problem is that this "fleeting" is enough to kill an ordinary person. About five to eight out of every hundred people who pass through the door will encounter it. There is only one consequence - death.

So what those people are doing here is, finding the way.

For example, a scene that is happening right now.

It looks like a family of three, at the front of the line, planning to walk over. The men and women were well-dressed, and the little girl in their hands was clean. The suitcase they were dragging behind them was a luxury brand from the past, and it is still delicate and gorgeous today, with no signs of dilapidation or damage.

This means that the family of three is in a fairly good financial situation.

The three men stopped at the door, and the guards did not urge them, but smoked and chatted on their own, occasionally glancing at the line and scolding those who tried to cut through the line.

So the group of people swarmed over and noisily promoted themselves.

Li Zhen looked at them and frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

The family of three seemed to be a little panicked by this formation, and they were at a loss for a while. So the officer leading the group at the door walked over and scolded the men for a few words, told them to retreat, and then whispered something to the man—roughly introducing the "work project" of these men.

The man looked slightly surprised from his face, then looked at his wife. The woman looked down at her woman again and pushed the man on the arm.

The man frowned and sighed, and looked up at the people around him.

In fact, there are not only middle-aged people, but also one or two young people. The man pondered for a moment, then stretched out his finger. The others sighed and left.

The man left behind looked to be the oldest, probably in his sixties. He nodded at the man, a polite smile on his face, but without the slightest worry or fear, obviously familiar with the road.

Li Zhen shook his head. The man behind him, who had been talking to him for a while, seemed to see what he was thinking, so he smiled and whispered, "You don't have to worry about them." ”

Li Zhen realized that this person was talking to him and turned away.

The man continued: "Out of a hundred, there are only five or six people who encounter that kind of bad luck—five or six percent, what is the concept? It's less likely than a car accident. Didn't we drive on the road before? ”

Actually, that's exactly what happened – just in terms of probability.

But here's the problem......

It seems like it's spending money to buy lives. It is knowing that there is an unpredictable risk ahead, and using the money in hand to ask another person to take the risk on his behalf. And the substitutes don't seem to be as nervous as their pedestrians, but rather rather happy.

Maybe the probability of death is really low. Or, they have long been tormented by life and are numb to life, and they no longer take their lives so seriously.

And the man doesn't seem to be the one who can accept this "deal" with peace of mind. He probably did this for the sake of his wife and daughter around him. So the man chose the oldest one—and it seems, just to find some kind of psychological comfort.

Li Zhen nodded wordlessly and turned around again.

By this time the man had already paid. The old man counted the money in his hand, put it in his pocket, waved his hand at the friends by the door, and walked over with his feet raised.

The barrier was two to three meters wide, and he walked slowly a few times back and forth in the area between the two iron cages.

The soldiers and the immigrants looked the same, and a few people were even laughing and laughing with the old man. However, the queue was silent. After more than ten seconds, the old man stopped in the middle of the door, smiled and beckoned to the family of three, indicating that everything was normal.

So the man took the suitcase, took his wife's hand, and walked towards the door.

However, at this moment, the gray rabbits in the iron cages on both sides suddenly let out a scream. It was the first time Li Zhen had heard a rabbit bark—he had never known that a docile-looking rabbit could let out such a terrible and piercing scream.

The sound seemed to be harsher than the alarm, and the old man standing in the middle of the door suddenly changed his face. His smile froze on his face, the corners of his mouth still slightly raised, but his face turned pale. (To be continued......)
