Chapter 271: Getting Closer to the Truth
This is not the shopping mall of the world that Tang Mo is familiar with, compared with the bustling street, this shopping mall seems to be much empty, Tang Mo looked over, and he didn't even see anyone.
What's even more surprising is that not only are there no customers, but there are not even sales clerks at each counter.
Tang Mo casually walked into a counter selling fashion, and when he walked in, he found that there were no clothes that should be put on display, let alone the salesperson.
Instead, there are huge touchscreen LCD screens with pictures of various fashions.
Tang Mo casually clicked on one with his finger, and the appearance of himself wearing that piece was displayed on the LCD screen.
"So advanced?"
Such an advanced technology was indeed heard of before the end of the Tang Dynasty, but it was still at the level of theory at that time, and I didn't expect it to be realized in a parallel era.
However, the good-looking clothes did not arouse much interest in the late Tang Dynasty, after all, after staying in such an environment as the end of the world for a long time, what clothes to wear is no longer an important thing.
Out of the fashion counter, Tang Mo took Jingjing and continued to shop.
The shopping mall with no one made Tang Mo feel a little bored, so he stayed for a while and went out and returned to that street.
And at this time at the exit of the tunnel.
"That girl has been down for so long, why hasn't there been any news yet?"
The people who had been guarding the entrance of the tunnel were a little anxious, and Zhang Chao looked at Qin Fen and asked, after all, only Qin Fen was the only person here who could contact Tang Mo, and as for the others, they didn't even know what Tang Mo's name was.
It can't be that Qin Fen got some news but didn't tell everyone, right?
After all, it was already suspicious that he followed him to a place like the post-apocalyptic garbage dump, did he also know about the treasure here?
Seeing Zhang Chao's suspicious eyes looking at him, Qin Fen was also very unhappy, after all, he himself had been anxiously waiting for news.
However, after waiting for so long, if Tang Mo didn't have an accident, it was likely that he never thought of telling them the information he got below.
Thinking of Tang Mo's current position on the list, I have to say that the possibility of this is still quite large.
Thinking that there was still that unknown treasure below, the longer Tang Mo stayed below, the more likely he was to be the first to discover that treasure.
Thinking of this, Qin Fen finally couldn't hold his breath.
"It's not a way to wait, let's go down."
Seeing that the sky is about to get dark again, and the day is about to pass again, no one wants to delay this day in vain.
In the end, there was no way, the group rearranged the order, Zhang Chao's people took the lead, Qin Fen and Wen Qing were in the middle, and the recruiters were the queen of the palace, and everyone jumped out of the tunnel one by one.
And over there, Tang Mo has been shopping on that street for a long time.
"Look, there's a little sapling here."
Jingjing jumped out of Tang Mo's backpack and ran over excitedly towards a touch of green.
It was the first time they had seen a plant in the world.
Tang Mo also went over, squatting down and carefully observing the little sapling.
It was life squeezed out of a stone-paved path on the side of the road.
I don't know if it was the seed that floated there, and I don't know how long it hibernated here, and finally burst into its own vitality in the thin earth beneath the stone.
The branches of the sapling were slender, but they were strong and powerful, as if they had accumulated strength for too long, and finally fought for themselves in this place between heaven and earth.
I don't know why, in this modern world, Tang Mo looked at this abrupt green, but his heart was a little moved.
"Let one go, let one go."
Just when Tang Mo and Jingjing were still admiring this little life, a voice suddenly came from behind them, and several people in yellow overalls wore hats and gloves, and still held shovels in their hands, and pushed Tang Mo away.
"What are you doing?"
Tang Mo was defenseless and almost sat directly on the ground, but she didn't plan to care about this, but stared closely at the shovel in their hands.
The goal of these people is very clear, which is the green seedling, and they want to uproot the tree.
Seeing that the shovel fell immediately, Tang Mo snatched the shovel and blocked the front of the seedling.
"It grows on the side of the road, why pull it?"
"It will grow into a tree in the future, and of course it will have to be cleared in advance." The shovel in the hands of those people was snatched away, and they looked at Tang Mo inexplicably.
"What's wrong with the tree, isn't it good to grow into a tree? Now the streets are bare, everyone doesn't even have a shade place in summer, and the carbon dioxide emitted by those cars can't be absorbed, don't you know how serious the environmental pollution is? ”
Tang Mo had long been unhappy with the bare world, and at this time, he happened to question all the dissatisfaction in his heart.
However, the few people in overalls looked at Tang Mo as if they were looking at a neuropath.
"Now is the era of high-tech new energy, there is a protective cover above the city to protect people's skin from direct sunlight, cars have long used new energy materials, so what carbon dioxide is there, you are a person who has traveled over in the last century? It's still an old word. ”
Several men laughed at Tang Mo, but they didn't know the truth.
The sun is shielded from the shield, the carbon dioxide that pollutes the environment is gone, and the world no longer needs trees.
Just when Tang Mo was stunned, the man who led him pulled the seedling out of the ground as soon as he stretched out his hand, and the life that had just come to this world was lifted by the man in his hand.
"You plant it back! Even if these plants don't work, people still need scenery to walk on the street, not a cold world. ”
"Walking down the street? Do you think that people are just like you, just like you, staying at home and enjoying the convenience brought by technology and running on the street? Is there anyone else on this street but you? ”
???
The man's words shocked Tang Mo, was she insane, or was the man's eyes blind, aren't all the people bustling on this street?
She looked up into the street around her, but what she saw was a street that was empty, as the man had said.
It seems that since these people appeared, all the people on the street seemed to have disappeared all at once.
This strange scene made Tang Mo suddenly a little uneasy.
"I saw a few kids chasing a puppy just now, I couldn't be wrong."
"That's just a 5D image projected onto this street, dog? This useless creature was exterminated by the state decades ago. ”
Jingjing jumped into Tang Mo's backpack as soon as these men appeared, so the few people didn't see Jingjing's existence.
