The wind was a little wet, and it was slightly cool on the face.

A frantic heart gradually fell silent.

Could it be that I, Max, have come to a strange world?

No, people are still those people, things are still those things.

Max slowed down and looked around.

The familiar buildings, the familiar roads, and even the landscape trees on both sides of the road are exactly the same as I remember.

As his mind continued to wander, Max walked through an old school building and onto a north-south road.

He went all the way north.

In his memory, there was an Internet café called Star City in a row of shops opposite the North School Gate, and he urgently needed to find a computer to learn about the world.

After walking about four or five hundred meters, a playground appeared to his right.

The horizon suddenly widened.

Max's gaze naturally swept over the playground, over the blue-brick fence of the Twelve, and towards the sky to the east.

He had a panoramic view of the city.

At this look, my heart shook violently.

Maith was greeted by a dilapidated scene.

Where is this living city, it is clearly in ruins!

The skyscrapers are towering, the layers are stacked, but the original bright appearance of the curtain wall is all gloomy, replaced by all kinds of dilapidation, and even there are bare cement beams directly exposed in the air, which is hung with something similar to wires, not far from the twelfth middle school, is a fifty or sixty-story high-rise building, a huge billboard is hung crookedly on the wall, it can be seen that the advertising picture is a beautiful woman, but at this moment her eyes have disappeared, leaving only a huge black hole......

In an instant, Max was full of doubts and ran desperately.

Out of the north gate, Mai Si glanced at it, and the Star City Internet café was still there.

Instead of walking into the café right away, Max trotted through an alley at the east end of the café.

Ran along the alley for another five or six hundred meters, sure enough, the memory did not deceive him, there was a hill four or five hundred meters high in front of him, this is a mountain in the city, the area is not large, but the mountain is very open, Mai Si remembers that it is called Songtai Mountain, it was a smash hit in a certain period, it is a good leisure place for the people of the Magic City to practice in the morning and drink tea and play chess.

Now, one of the things Max wants to do most is climb to the top of Songtai Mountain and take a good look at the city.

It didn't seem to take much effort for Max to climb to the top of the mountain, which had never been done before at his age, Max was slightly surprised, but soon as he looked into the distance, he was stunned.

The whole city is in full view.

The magic city is no longer the magic city of the past, the huge city seems to be bounded by the central axis under his feet, divided into east and west, the east is the scene he just saw, it is a barren ruins that cannot be seen at a glance, and the west is also not able to see the edge, but it is full of vitality.

The vitality is mainly reflected in the exterior of the building and the street scene.

In addition to the dilapidated buildings, there is no complete street in the east city, and all kinds of abandoned vehicles are lying in the middle of the road, and there is not a single living person in sight. Although all the buildings in Xicheng are not very high, they are all brand new and bright, and the streets are full of vehicles and crowds.

No matter how you look at the West Side, it looks like a newly built home on the ruins of this city.

Max looked farther away.

It should have been just after ten o'clock in the morning, and the sun was shining, but there was a light mist in the sky, which made him always think that the vast white where his eyes touched was the veil of mist curling in the air, until he saw a black spot in the white expanse, which made a long and thick sound.

It was the whistle of a steamer.

For a moment, Max felt like he had really hit a ghost.

Now, he can be sure that the vast white is undoubtedly the sea, which means that the city is surrounded by a vast and boundless ocean.

What's really going on in this city?

With a thick question, Max trotted down Songtai Mountain again, and a minute later he folded into the Internet café.

The owner of the Internet café was a man in his early fifties, and Maith pulled out his student ID and handed it to him nervously.

"Boss, I'm still a student, but I'll be eighteen years old in a few days, and I really need a computer."

The man directly blocked Mai Si's hand holding the student ID card back, and spread his palm: "Where's the money?" ”

"How much?" Max was surprised and delighted, "Can minors go online?" ”

"Deposit 100 soube." The man tapped the keyboard a few times, and said unhurriedly, "Those officials of the Public Security Department have long ignored this, students like you, if you want to make a living, you can only rely on yourself, even if others limit you to more rules and regulations, what's the use, if you can't be admitted to Begonia Federal University, you can only hit the bell on this planet like me and wait for death...... You sit casually. ”

Mai Si answered, happily turning on a computer.

There is an icon on the desktop called Xuandong Browser, Max double-clicks and clicks on it, the network speed is not fast, and a page pops up after a full ten seconds.

Like browsers in previous lives, there is also a search box, and at the bottom left of the search box, there is a news page pop-up.

Maith glanced casually, and was immediately startled by a shocking news headline.

Mai Si was anxious and clicked on this news:
