Chapter Seventy-Nine: Ten Thousand Miles of Fog and Cold II
Fang Wuhan listened to the cacophony of the guy's machete on the iron steps, and his heart was very panicked, he hurriedly wanted to open the window next to him to hide in the residents' houses, but helplessly, Hu Ao's window seemed to be locked, and he couldn't push it open no matter how hard he tried.
The man was still three or four meters away from him, and he smashed the window with his knee and rolled into the resident's house.
As soon as he entered the house, a familiar smell immediately entered his nose, it was the smell of dumplings, and the family was sitting around the dining table eating dumplings.
After seeing Fang Wuhan rushing in, the family panicked, and even a young child accidentally sprinkled dumplings and soup on his feet, and suddenly burst into tears.
"You're sick!" A woman who looked like the mother of the child shouted angrily at Fang Wuhan, Fang Wuhan's face was full of apologies, but what she couldn't hide was the panic in her heart; He leaned down and, instead of wiping the hot soup from the child's feet, he found a pair of shoes from under the bed.
It looked like a new pair of shoes, and the family still had brand-new couplets and big "Fu" characters pasted on their homes, as if they were eating Chinese New Year's Eve.
Fang Wuhan took the blood and snow on his feet, kicked directly into someone's shoes, and fled from the door......
"Here comes the thief! Catch the thief! The middle-aged woman shouted, and the middle-aged man next to her took out the mop from behind the door and chased him out.
Let the woman shout, there was a noisy footsteps in the whole building, this building is not the kind of conventional residential building, the movable space in it is very small, the corridor is only about one meter, and there are many pots and pans.
Fang Wuhan crawled continuously, and chased a large group of people with guys in their hands and shouting "catch thieves" in their mouths behind him.
He didn't expect it to be like this, and now he was so nervous that he could barely speak, and his mind was full of "running away", one was to escape the pursuit of the guy with the machete, and the other was to escape from the group of people behind him.
Soon, he ran to the end of the corridor, and in front of him was an equally narrow stairwell, and he subconsciously ran upward, and ushered in another equally narrow corridor.
It seems that he ran to the top floor of this building, and it is not a way to run like this; Before the people behind him could catch up, he slammed open a door, rolled in, and then the door closed, leaving him alone in the dark room with the sound of his rapid gasp.
Could it be that there is no one in this family? Before he could recover his senses, the old-fashioned yellow light bulb in the room suddenly lit up, illuminating him huddled behind the door.
A middle-aged uncle in a cotton nightgown squinted and slowly walked towards him, looking at him as if he had seen an alien.
And Fang Wuhan curled up there like a deserted puppy, his face was a little pale from strenuous exercise, and he looked very sickly.
Fang Wuhan and Uncle didn't speak, until the noisy footsteps outside caught up, and there was one after another "Catch the thief......
The uncle's squinting eyes slowly opened, he looked at Fang Wuhan, neither of them spoke, and let the group of people outside run behind the door.
At this time, Fang Wuhan's eyes were full of that innocent look, he wanted to tell his uncle not to make a sound, but his body was too angry, he only cared about panting, and he couldn't speak.
After they looked at each other for a few seconds, Fang Wuhan couldn't "confront" it anymore, he breathed a sigh of relief, and completely collapsed in the corner behind the door......
----------
Biochemical City, Sanctuary.
Su Ya was lying on the balcony, looking at the goose-feathered flying snow and the slurry-like fog outside the window, her eyebrows furrowed together, like a woman who came out of a costume drama.
She looked at her watch, Fang Wuhan had been out for twelve hours, and Yang Feng had also been out for four hours, and the two of them had not heard from them so far.
The fog outside was so thick that she couldn't see anything except the windowsill beneath herself.
In such an environment, even if it is right on your doorstep, you may get lost.
There was a knock at the door, and the fat man's shout: "Sister, open the door!" ”
Su Ya walked over, as soon as the door opened, the fat man rushed in directly with his chest in his arms, it seemed that it was really cold outside, and his mouth was so cold that he kept "hissing" and inhaling cold air.
"They haven't come back yet?" The fat man said with a shudder.
Su Ya nodded and did not speak.
"Don't panic, we don't know what's going on outside, it's suddenly so cold, they may have met a long time ago, and now they may find a place to warm up." The fat man said, taking out a bottle of mineral water that had been frozen into ice cubes from his arms.
"Why hasn't it thawed yet...... the fat man threw the bottle aside aggrievedly, like a child who has been bullied.
"Neither of their walkie-talkies can communicate, and Fang Wuhan didn't even take the communication crystal." Su Ya said with a sad face.
The fat man sighed, "Why don't I go downstairs and have a look?" ”
Su Ya frowned, "The fog is so big outside, what if you get lost when you go out?" ”
The fat man smiled, "Don't worry, I'm downstairs, besides, it's in the community, you can walk home with your eyes closed, don't talk about the fog, you can rest assured." ”
Su Ya paused, "I'll come with you and see if I can help." After she finished speaking, she got up and picked up a down jacket from the sofa next to her and put it on the outside......
Five minutes later, downstairs.
"Girl, why don't you go up, it's too cold!" The fat man spoke very awkwardly, and there were not many clothes suitable for him in the shelter, so he was wearing very thin, that is, several thin autumn clothes were put together, and now when he got downstairs, his teeth began to tremble from the cold.
"No, look over there." Su Ya pointed to the front and said.
The fat man looked in the direction pointed by Su Ya, and in the thick fog, a yellow light loomed, like a fire in the smoke.
"What's that?" Su Ya asked.
The fat man stared at the yellow light with his mouth open, although it was not very bright, but in this white fog at night, this abrupt color was particularly conspicuous.
The fat man did not speak, but walked straight towards the light, and soon disappeared completely into the thick fog.
Su Ya was afraid that he would get lost, so she immediately followed; After walking for about a dozen meters, a huge complex appeared in front of their eyes.
"Oh my God......" The fat man looked at the factory in front of him incredulously, puzzled with words written all over his face.
Directly in front of them, a huge chimney twenty or thirty meters high was billowing into the sky, and the smoke was similar in color to the fog, and soon merged with the thick fog; Next to the chimney, some huge gears of different diameters slowly rotated, driving the huge machinery behind to operate, and those with teeth were seven or eight meters in diameter, and the small ones had to be more than one meter......
"What is this?" Su Ya frowned and asked, the yellow light she saw just now was coming out of an opening halfway up the chimney, the material of this chimney looked like brass, and there was a hot flame burning inside.
Next to the gears, some copper pipes of different thicknesses were steaming in the heavy snow, and those huge snowflakes like goose feathers fell on these copper pipes, instantly turning into a burst of white vapor.
They were about seven or eight meters away from the copper pipe, and they already felt the warmth, and they were divided by their feet, and there was no snow on the ground.
"What's wrong, how did our community become like this? Haunted, it's here! The fat man said, walking towards the factory step by step, and Su Ya followed closely behind.
They walked along the outer walls of the factory for an unknown distance, and now they were probably all out of the neighborhood, but now there were no buildings to be found around them except for this huge factory complex, and their world seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and the heavy snow with thick fog had changed the world they were in.
They had walked a long way, and at last they saw an arch that resembled a large gate, also made of yellow and brass material, and glowed golden in the snow and fog.
This is obviously not a product of this world, they are crossing over? Or has the world changed?
Just when the fat man and Su Ya were at a loss, a golden-haired dwarf pushed a "small minecart" about the same height as himself and walked over from the factory gate, and they saw that the minecart was loaded with a bunch of things similar to gold nuggets, could it be that this is a gold rush elf from the underground world?
Su Ya wanted to walk over and ask, but as soon as she took a step, she was pulled back by the fat man, and then, another strange-looking guy "floated" from the gate, the guy had a turban wrapped around his head, and he was wearing a kind of robe-like clothes, and many strange patterns were painted on it.
What surprised them the most was that the guy in the robe kept holding one hand up as he floated, and on that hand, there was a larger "minecart" floating, which was the size of a small car, and it seemed to be floating in the air with "mental power".
"Are we crossing over?" Su Ya said on tiptoe in the fat man's ear.
The fat man shook his head, and before he could speak, he heard a garbled sound behind them, and they both turned around at the same time, and saw a group of hideous-looking "monsters" armed with dangerous weapons that had surrounded them......
