Chapter Seventy-Eight: In the Dark
At the last moment, it was 1214-B01 that grabbed Chen Shi, it grabbed Chen Shi's left hand with one hand, and with a simple lift, it pulled up Chen Shi and more than 40 kilograms of pockets together.
Chen Shizhen broke into a cold sweat and complained: "The quality of this project is too poor, right?" ”
No one listened to his complaints, and his complaints could not be reported back to the person in charge of engineering, 1214-B01 glanced around Chen Shi's body, focusing only on the pocket full of food.
This is really important, so important that once lost, it is irretrievable.
As a result, Chen Shi was replaced...... Replaced with bits and pieces of material that they carried.
Those bits and pieces of materials, in Chen Shi's opinion, are undoubtedly similar to garbage, all covered with dust, rust and I don't know how long they have been aged, this is very good, he is more like a pure garbage picker.
It doesn't matter.
It's good to be alive.
Chen Shi smiled, this is the first time he has escaped death?
Well, this is the third time I've been here.
Chen Shi sighed, in one day, three times he escaped death, three times he almost died on the spot, three times he brushed shoulders with death, three times he almost immediately hit the street, he could say three times a day in one breath.
Resign yourself to your fate, it is not surprising that you may be at some point and die suddenly.
This hellish place is full of dangers, and life is like walking on a steel rope in the sky, and a sudden breeze can make it fall into a meat patty.
Chen Shi, who was picking up garbage, and 1214-B01, who was pushing garbage, one after the other, finally gradually left the bright area and entered into a place where there were not many lights, only faintly in the obelisk building and the red lights hanging in the air.
If we say that in the previous area, although there is not a single shadow of intelligent life except for 1214-B01, at least the light source is bright, and there is still the breath of civilization as far as the eye can see.
When you get here, the aura of civilization is like a demon unmasked, disappearing in an instant, leaving only unsettling darkness.
There was no light in the dark, the chill was gradually rising, and without the light source, not only could the road no longer be able to see clearly, but Chen Shi was also keenly aware that the temperature around him was also rapidly decreasing.
From more than 20 degrees Celsius, it has quickly dropped to seven or eight degrees Celsius.
His feet and neck, which were exposed to his clothes, couldn't help but get goosebumps. But the strange thing is that the skin that is hidden by the clothes is still very comfortable, and it does not feel cold.
Therefore, Chen Shi can still endure it, the only thing he can't stand is his bare feet.
"No, if it goes on like this, my feet will freeze."
The cold metal surface, walking barefoot on it, every step is chilling, the beam emitted by the glasses worn by Chen Shi swayed in front of him, he couldn't stand it anymore, he sat down, covered his feet and smoked cold.
1214-B01 in front of him noticed something unusual, and when he looked back, the dazzling beam of light hit Chen Shi's face directly, and he jerked his head to avoid the direct light of the beam.
1214-B01 put down the cart, grunted in its throat a few times, and rummaged through the cart, after a while, it shook its head, walked over, took Chen Shi's pocket, and continued to rummage.
After a while, he really found something that surprised Chen Shi.
That's a boot?
The dusty boots, made of some kind of material, had a smooth appearance, no holes and no laces, but the soles were definitely made of some kind of metal, 1214-B01, who had found the boots, frowned, put the boots aside, and rummaged through them.
After rummaging for a long time, 1214-B01 found another iron lump, violently dismantled it, and found two metal pieces that resembled button batteries, which were stuffed into the bottom of the boot.
“%¥%%……”
Handing this pair of boots, which are absolutely different on the earth, but undoubtedly thrown into the trash and no one picked them up, handed them to Chen Shi, Chen Shi hesitated.
It's not that he's dirty, it's just that his foot size is 42, and these boots are only about 38 sizes, so they can't be worn by him, and it's useless for him.
"I said, I can't put these boots on."
Chen Shi explained to 1214-B01, but seeing that it didn't understand, he had to helplessly stretch out his foot and try it: "Look, I can't wear it at all...... Hey? ”
He was shocked, and his right foot, which had not been able to go in, slipped in, and the boot seemed to swell in a circle, just enough to accommodate his right foot, and the size could not be more suitable.
And it's not as cold as it looks from the outside, and the right foot that goes in is as if it is wrapped in strong cotton, and at the same time, there is a little warm release, which immediately relieves the frozen stiff right foot.
Can't wait, Chen Shi hurriedly tried his left foot again, it was still a similar reaction to his right foot, the boots automatically expanded and extended, just to fit the size of his left foot, without the slightest superfluity.
It's not an automatic shoelace tie anymore, it's completely adaptive to the size and shape of your feet.
Bouncing back and forth on the ground a few times, Chen Shi nodded with satisfaction, although these boots didn't look good, they were really super comfortable to wear, he had never experienced such comfortable boots.
Seeing that Chen Shi was fine, 1214-B01 returned to the cart and began to push the cart forward again.
At this point, the light really disappeared completely, at a glance, the surroundings were surrounded by silent darkness, and in the empty space, there were only two strong lights sweeping back and forth, which came from the light emitted by the metal glasses worn by Chen Shi and 1214-B01, which obviously had a luminosity no less than that of a strong flashlight, but when he swept into the distance, he could only see the pillar of light eroded by the darkness, and he could not see any farther.
"Like...... It's not the same area as it used to be. ”
Closer to the place, Chen Shi could still see clearly with the strong light, and because of this, he gradually realized that he was leaving the previous metal city and entering a very strange alternative area.
The place where you walk is no longer a passage hanging in the abyss, no longer you can see the tracks and cables in the air, and you can no longer see the obelisks like works of art.
These high-rise buildings are very similar to human modern buildings, and there are also dense windows, but you can't see the glass, too much like unfinished buildings that have not yet been tiled.
There are no streets, and the tall buildings are squeezed together, one next to the other, some horizontal, some slanted, and some intersecting with each other, which reminds Chen Shi of the simple geometry of abstraction.
Yes, the buildings in this area are simple and irregular, and they are the simple geometric style of abstraction.
And waiting for the road ahead to be distorted and deformed is the moment for Chen Shi to gasp.
The road was twisting, winding in a blur, Chen Shi walked and walked, turned his head to look, and was suddenly taken aback by the beam of light, and then broke out in a cold sweat.
