Chapter 209: The Sleeping City 2
Pushing open a door, a cloud of dust kicked up inside. It's also a black hole, and I can't see anything clearly, so Zhong finds a power source. The floor was bright, and the stairs were dusty, and there was not a single footprint in them.
"I don't know if the only resident is taking the elevator or flying home."
"It's possible, solar energy is inexhaustible, elevators can be used at any time, and flying cars are even more convenient."
"Hey, the usual elevator is non-stop below the fifth floor, and we can only go to the sixth floor. The only occupant was on the 12th floor, when it was down there. ”
"Well, it's almost the center floor of this tall building."
"Uncle Mud, are you still sleepy, do you still want to sleep?"
"Plum girl, do you want to throw me in which room to sleep, tell you, I have perseverance, I say that if I don't sleep, I won't sleep, in order to avoid the siege of wild beasts, I survived half a month without closing my eyes."
"Yes, people who have gone through hardships have perseverance, and although we were not hungry just now, we still ate as much food as usual. Joan, not being hungry is conscious, hunger is feeling, and if you don't eat your body, you can't bear it. ”
"Well, Iron Legs, you have a very scientific level this time, you have to eat when you are hungry and when you replenish your strength, this is the most basic need of human beings, we should still find a place to sleep well."
"Joan, let's go to the 12th floor and see where the people live and find a place to rest."
Everyone came to the fifth floor as they spoke, the lights in the elevator were very bright, and the elevator door was also open.
"Hey, let's scare ourselves, the elevator here is heat-sensitive, and of course the door will open automatically when we come."
Before the iron leg could finish speaking, the elevator door automatically closed, and then the indicator light lit up layer by layer, until it reached the last character on the top floor---28. Then it came down again and stopped from 28 to 5, and the doors of the elevator opened again ...
"Well, it's not like this all the time, why?"
"Does anyone dare to sit?"
"Don't dare, let's climb the stairs." Everyone's heels were as honest as they walked up the stairs, and the elevator doors at the back closed and ran upwards.
"Zhong, we're atheists, aren't we?" Iron Leg said a word after Zhong.
"Of course, scared, right?"
"You're not afraid?"
"I'm afraid. So what, let's go, don't think about it so much. ”
Coming to the twelfth floor of the unit next to the elevator, there are two elderly people sleeping inside. Meizi couldn't help but say their approximate age again, about eighty years old. The two old men were asleep, looking very peaceful. There were two rocks on the ground the size of a fist, and a mechanical puppy, which looked like it had been broken.
"Clean, they're either asleep or dead." Joan took a look at it and came to a conclusion.
"Yes, they're all out of breath and they've been dead for a long time." Jie said.
"Starving, it looks like the skinny skin is wrapped in bones."
"No, they are all in a state of dry corpses, what kind of environment can cause such a result?"
"It's a stone that fell to the ground. Is this the case, the two old men were originally sleeping with the stone, and the mechanical dog got the stone down, and the sleeping person died, but because of the stone, the body did not decompose, and the result continued to consume the nutrients in the body, and the result was the dry corpse state we saw. Zhong analyzed that everyone's eyes were almost replaying the process of change here, looking at the broken mechanical puppy on the ground, this explanation is completely reliable.
"God, it's really scary, thanks to the fact that I didn't sleep, otherwise it would have been like this, Sister Joan, Jie girl, plum girl, thank you." The mud man said in fear, and for a moment he was completely sleepless than anyone else.
"Zhong, this rainbow stone is a mystery, who brought it here, where did it go, why did it make this city like this, all waiting for us to solve the mystery and find the answer."
"Lei Lao, this is what we have to do, I remember who said that we are still together after walking out of the no-man's land, we are still a collective, isn't that it like this now."
"What I said, I don't have a daughter-in-law when I go back, and I'm alone, so it's better to be with all of you, it was a joke at that time, but I didn't expect it to become a reality. Do you say that we have fate, we survived on the high wall, and sought a way to survive together, walked through the no-man's land and crossed the shield, and finally came to the high city, and in the future, we will wake up the city to wake up the sleeping people. ”
"Iron legs, poor again, you said that we have fate, how do I feel that you just looked at Meizi and said it alone." Jie smiled.
"Jie, what are you talking nonsense?" Meizi is embarrassed.
"Plum girl, we've all seen it, let's go, find a place to sleep, and wake up and talk about tomorrow." Joan also joked.
Everyone came to the first floor and found a few rooms there to sleep. At this time, it was also pouring rain outside, accompanied by lightning and thunder, but everyone was too tired and sleepy, it was really the relationship of the stone, leaving the office building of the High Speed Bureau, and the rainbow stone that was far away, the fatigue and sleepiness of the should have come, and there was almost no suspense All the people quickly fell asleep, until the next day after the rain and the sky was clear, it was already another afternoon.
"Master Zhong, we found the map of the city around the high city, do you need to take a look?" As soon as he opened his eyes, Guoguo Huahua came over and said.
"Are you connected to the Ring?"
"Master Zhong, they haven't been linked yet, even Sugar Candy is the same, but they have woken up more than the two of us, and they are sensing the life signals here outside."
"Ahh How can this happen, sugar candy and they have built their own interval network? Rose also woke up and walked in and asked.
"I don't know why, but I guess it's the reason for the stone. Either way, the robot can work, and it's always our helper. All of them went to visit the largest city around the heights. ”
The city is truly the heart of the earth. In the old days, it was a prosperous metropolis, and after the reinforcement and construction of modern people, the sunshine saw the luxury atmosphere of the past, and it was spectacular and modern. There are no less than 30-storey high-rise buildings everywhere, and the roads are lined with high-level simulated green belts. The trees are green and eye-catching, the flowers are blooming brightly, the most advanced means of transportation on both sides of the road, and various types of cars, if not all of them are full of dust, it is the beautiful scenery of the city. Floating in mid-air were various flying cars, all of which were above the twenty floors of the building. This should be a uniform parking standard for every city.
The mechanical traffic police on the highway are also empty, and there is no trace of the robot. There are no flying robots in mid-air. Humans are asleep in the city, robots are missing, is the city dead or alive?
"The block in front is where I live, and my car to work is still parked in it on weekdays." After walking through a few bustling streets, Rose pointed ahead. There are no rainbow stones in sight here, and the streets are neat and clean, but they are full of dust, and it looks like they haven't been cleaned up for years.
"The mechanical cleaner is missing too, Rose, are there many robots here that do cleaning?"
"There are not many robots who do cleaning work, but everyone here has a lot of robot companions, there are robot assistants at work, there are robot nannies at home, and robot security guards accompany you on the road, so let's put it this way, there are several robots around a human being."
"So the number of missing robots is not a small number, where have they gone?"
"Who knows, come, I live alone on half a floor, and I'm a free man over there, and I'm often away from home, so you can be disgusted with my family." Rose said as she opened a unit on the twentieth floor.
"Rose, others say that it is one person and one floor, but they just say that the area occupied by the floor, you have opened up a few units here, a veritable half-story."
"Iron legs, you are poor, over there is my fitness area, over there is the living area, the study, the guest room, the leisure place. There's the kitchen over there and so on. Let's take a look, but I'm going to go to the sleeping place to see if there are any replicants of mine. ”
"Baby girl, follow Daddy to see where Mommy used to live." Denden took her daughter's hand and followed Rose to the bedroom.
Rose's bedroom is very large, the bed is round, and the whole bedroom is more than 100 square meters in size. The interior is very warm and elegant. Everyone followed along, glad there were no replicants in it. I left the space for a family of three to look around.
"Hey, do you see there's a person in the flying car floating below?"
"How is it possible, someone is also dead."
"Do you also sleep with a stone?"
"I can't see clearly, all I see is what looks like an arm."
"Don't scare people, let's go, let's go downstairs and have a closer look."
A few people went down, but it didn't affect others, Zhong Hejie and his son were also watching.
"Zhong, tomorrow we'll go to the house that the ring high bureau gave us. Son, tomorrow Mom and Dad will take you back to our own home. ”
"Yes, Daddy, the soil down there is different from the rest of the world."
"Yes, Zhong, I also found out that the soil in front of the gate of the Huangao Bureau is much worse than here, the soil over there is reddish, and here is the color of normal dust."
"There should be the reason for the stones, the stones are all colorful, and the dust changes color when it is weathered."
"Zhong, could it be the same as the metal particles in the shield?" Ray and Joan walked over and said.
"Lei Lao, you mean..."
"Zhong, you all come down and take a look, we have a big discovery." There was an exclamation from below, which also interrupted Zhong's thoughts, and what he wanted to say stopped. Everyone in the Rose family came down together.
It is exactly the 20th floor, and there are many city speeds parked outside, which is a sign of a modern city. Now the Iron Leg Qingfeng and a few people were looking out of the glass window at the staircase, where there was a flying car suspended in front of the window. The streamlined body, with a blue and white pattern, has been tucked in. The windows had been rolled down to give a good view of the cab. The driver sat behind the joystick, looking like he was asleep, but when he looked closely, he was already a dead man. And it was a shriveled corpse, with the previous example of two old people, everyone was not afraid, but they were all surprised and confused.
