Chapter 277 Another World 1
The sun half-covers her face with clouds like a shy maiden, and the vast sky stretches out in all directions until it meets the horizon, infinitely wide and infinitely desolate.
The air smells of grass, but more of a smell like gunsmoke.
Qiu Yu tried to analyze the cause of this smell, but his brain was drowsy and just sent out signals that he needed to replenish energy.
In the game, although it is not infinite physical fitness, the consumption of the body does become very small, and Qiu Yu will not feel tired after more than ten hours of sleeplessness. But now, the ringing in the stomach, the heavy hands and feet, and the disordered breathing all indicate that I have entered a dangerous state of running towards the load.
After stumbling forward a few more steps, Qiu Yu could no longer walk, so he weighed between fatigue and hunger which side of the problem was more serious, and then, in the end, chose to lie down on the barren land with no end in sight to rest.
Looking at the sky, which always felt a little weird in color, Autumn Feather let out a long sigh.
I have long known that Qian Xiao is unreliable, but it is unreliable to this extent, which is completely beyond my expectations. A few hours ago, looking at the machine that Qian Xiao assembled that was more dilapidated than the Eighth Civilization car, he had repeatedly expressed doubts about safety. But Qian Xiao's only words were to let him believe in him with confidence, and for fear that he would regret it, he didn't even give him a chance to say goodbye to others, so he started the machine with the sound of running and falling apart.
Although he had no confidence in this machine at all, but out of Qian Xiao's reasonable analysis that he tried everything possible to let himself help, so it was impossible to let himself ride a dangerous vehicle, Qiu Yu still entered this super-advanced machine that was said to be able to break the barriers of the universe.
But in hindsight, Qian Xiao was right to ensure his safety, the question was whether he had the ability to guarantee this. As a man who has escaped pursuit, how can he be expected to come up with a machine that is completely faultless? And no matter how dilapidated the machine is, if it can give itself the opportunity to come to this world, it is already more in line with Qian Xiao's expectations than if he didn't plan to come at all.
The most troublesome part is that if Qian Xiao's operation of this machine will bring a trace of danger to his life, Qiu Yu believes that neither Qiu Yan nor the Weaver of Destiny will sit idly by. But the result was that the machine successfully completed its task, except for the Qian Xiao who yelled bad and disappeared, this trip really can't find a place to fail.
Provided, of course, that is, in terms of the success of the machine alone. Perhaps, in order to prevent being hunted down as soon as it appears, this travel station is actually a wasteland with no end in sight...... Of all the troubles that Qiu Yu could calculate, there was really nothing worse than this result that was not up or down.
The sun is not scorching, but being exposed to the sun for a long time is still a great torture for a person who is almost dehydrated. Qiu Yu rolled to the side, planning whether he needed to use the last resort to call for help, but his eyes vaguely saw a high cloud of smoke and dust rising up.
Qiu Yu came here not really to travel in the universe, but to help Qian Xiao deal with an unknown and powerful enemy, before the situation is clear, being in the shadows and taking the initiative is the most correct thing. But at this time, Qiu Yu found someone approaching, and without hesitation, he threw himself into the unknown danger, desperately shouting and waving in the direction of the smoke.
A few seconds later, the other party spotted Qiu Yu and quickly approached him in a small arc from the direction he was heading.
It's impossible to say that he is not worried about the current situation at all, but Qiu Yu is confident that as long as the other party does not shoot as soon as they meet, he will never shoot himself. Because although his target is relatively small, he discovered the opponent before the opponent found himself, and this alone can rule out the possibility that the opponent is a professional soldier and has advanced combat equipment. The former point makes Qiu Yu not worry about the lack of room for communication, and the latter point shows the reciprocity of his communication with them.
After more than ten seconds, Qiu Yu could barely see that it was a car that looked like a bus. There's not much to be surprised about. Qian Xiao, whether it is the knowledge he has, or the behavior habits, from beginning to end does not reveal anything different, if it is not that he has been able to hide himself perfectly, it is that his hometown has a technology and environment completely similar to the earth. So now it seems that Qiu Yu doesn't have to worry about being caught as a precious animal to dissect and study. The rest depends on the language, but this is the best thing to do, if you don't understand, just pretend to be dumb.
"Why are you here?"
The bus slowly stopped beside Qiu Yu, and a slightly emaciated young man opened the door. For Qiu Yu, a lone wanderer in the wilderness, not only did he not have the slightest vigilance, but he spoke in a surprised tone that seemed to be common when friends suddenly met.
"The car is broken, there is no way."
Qiu Yu was a little suspicious, it was not possible to come to this world by means of possession and traversal, and the owner of this body already knew these people. Though...... It's unlikely, but it's better to be cautious in the face of the unknown. So spread your hands and respond in a plausible tone.
"The car broke down? You're unlucky. The driver was a tall middle-aged man who didn't know whether to say burly or bloated, and looked at Qiu Yu sympathetically, "We are just going to Real Town, we can give you a ride, and then find someone to repair your car there." ”
"That's so thankful." In any way, Qiu Yu is grateful from the bottom of his heart.
From the outside, it looked like it was just an ordinary long-distance bus, but after getting into the car, Qiu Yu realized that it was difficult to find a place to put his feet. The floor was full of bags of luggage, suitcases could be neatly stacked in the aisles, some bedding tied with ropes haphazardly, clothes, and some bottles and cans were piled up with stitches. If it weren't for the fact that the dozen or so people in the car were all looking quite leisurely, Qiu Yu could only associate them with an indiscriminate robbery gang.
"Sit here." It took about five seconds for the emaciated young man to clean up the clutter on the seat next to him, and beckoned Qiu Yu to sit down, "It's a little messy, but this is the last car, if you don't move everything that can be moved, you won't have a chance in the future." ”
"You ...... this"
Qiu Yu didn't know how to ask, but many times, the interlocutor would always understand what the other person was going to ask on his own.
"Looks like you're not from Kyoto, are you?"
Qiu Yu shook his head naturally.
"Then you're from Haicheng?"
Qiu Yu wants to know the information of this world, not to expose himself to the other party's problems. A gloomy expression slowly emerged from Qiu Yu's face. Continue to throw out the meaning of the wordless and leave it to the other person to understand for themselves.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to show off anything, and I didn't necessarily only communicate with people in big cities. Actually, for people like us, small places are better. That, my name is Xie Beizhang, just call me Xiao Xie. The young man was unexpectedly shy, although he seemed very outgoing, but he obviously lacked experience in communicating with people, and he was panicked by Qiu Yu's expression alone.
"Oh, it's okay, it's just that I've had some bad things happen before." Qiu Yu "forced" himself to show a hearty smile and led the topic back to the direction he expected, "You said that you are from Kyoto, and what is the last car, it won't be such a big Kyoto, and there will be no cars coming out in the future, right?" ”
"Ugh." Xie Beizhang sighed infinitely embarrassed, "Kyoto has officially enacted the law, and local residents in Kyoto must enter the law for at least eight hours a day, and if they violate it, they will be punished by the public security law, and all personal property will be confiscated in serious cases." At the same time, in order to prevent residents from taking advantage of the law, there is a strict system of permission to leave Kyoto, and they are not allowed to leave Kyoto without the permission of the city hall. You know, those bureaucrats want to spend 24 hours a day in the law, where are they going to process any applications. Those of us were lucky enough to get the news in advance and go through the automated process before the law came into effect. Those who were a little slower for a few seconds are probably not able to get out now. ”
"Then you went to Real Town just to ......"
"Yes, Zhenzhen is an autonomous region, and I heard that there are a lot of anti-French people there, and they basically live a normal life, so we plan to settle down there." Speaking of this, Xie Beizhang seemed to suddenly remember something, "By the way, if you drive here alone, won't you also be preparing to go to the real town?" You're also someone who doesn't want to play the rules? ”
"Never played before." Because he was telling the truth, Qiu Yu looked at Xie Beizhang's answer with sincere eyes.
Because of the power of gathering like things, Qiu Yu's words made Xie Beizhang more enthusiastic, "Great, now it's more difficult to find someone who doesn't play the rules than to find a needle in a haystack, I can't imagine that you can meet it in the wilderness, in the old saying, this is called fate." ”
At this point, Qiu Yu has a general understanding that the so-called law is probably a game-like virtual world established in order to solve problems such as resource population. And Xie Beizhang and the other passengers in the car are the kind of people who especially resist the game.
But resisting to the point of relocating a family is probably not as simple as disgust with the virtual world. Maybe it's a Matrix-like story. They found out the truth, so they tried their best to escape, and Qian Xiao's purpose in finding himself was also to save humanity from the computer.
In fact, this possibility is quite high. The world itself does not show any real crisis. Qian Xiao is not looking for a warrior, but a person who fights with his head. The virtual world is taking over the resources of reality with a strong attitude...... Taken together, these things all point to the fact that the target of the battle is the virtual world called the law.
"You know, I'm from a small place, and I may not have as much pressure on the law as you, but you can still resolutely refrain from playing the rules in that environment in Kyoto, and now you would rather leave everything in Kyoto, what is it for?"
Although it was the core of the problem, Qiu Yu first emphasized that he was from a small place to arouse Xie Beizhang's guilt, and then used the understanding of "the same kind" people to resonate with him, so Qiu Yu was not worried that this shy young man could still keep a trace of concealment from himself. But in the end, the answer he got from Xie Beizhang's mouth made Qiu Yu's mood and thinking become heavy and sluggish as if they were bound by something.
"Because of the law...... Because that world is so real. ”
