Chapter 6: The Second Crossing
It has been proven that when people concentrate on something, the boring routine will become extremely fulfilling, and time will pass correspondingly quickly.
Nearly half a month or so has passed-
The world is gradually returning to normal, and although the huge impact caused by the celestial accident cannot be completely eliminated in a while, it is even foreseeable that this incident will still be hot news in half a year.
During this time, the various safety experiments conducted by Mo Chen were finally coming to an end.
And in the process, he is also quickly integrating into the world and adapting to a new identity.
……
……
"On the 15th day, it was recorded that there was no obvious damage or mutation of potted plants from No. 1 to No. 5, and the animals were also ......"
Carefully studying the changes in the five potted plants he used to conduct biological experiments, and recording the general situation, Mo Chen then looked at the ground on the other side.
There were several glass-sealed cages filled with poultry, chickens and ducks.
Mo Chen had used to tie their feet with ropes, seal their mouths by the way, and then let them go over to the other side of the world—and after half an hour, he would drag them back.
There were no casualties at that time.
And now, half a month has passed, and they are still living quite nourishingly, without any mutations or mutations.
Chickens are still chickens, ducks are still ducks, just like potted plants that have been put in the past, there is no tendency to evolve or mutate, and they have not become tyrant alien lickers or anything.
Although in theory, this still cannot be considered absolutely safe.
But to do this, Mo Chen felt that it was already possible. Again, he didn't have the luxury of expecting to be able to achieve absolute security in all aspects and thoroughly, with the conditions he had at hand.
If he can basically confirm the safety, he is already satisfied, as for the possible hidden dangers or something......
Of course he knows, but reality is reality, no conditions are no conditions, and there is really nothing to say about this.
Mo Chen tilted his head and looked at the blue light film in the center of the room. It remains stable and unchanged, and seems to be able to go on forever.
"So, it's the last step......"
He put down the ballpoint pen in his hand, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally exhaled hard, and then stood up and walked to his bedside.
There is a set of imitation Victorian men's clothing, including a black tunic with trousers and a white shirt.
This is also one of Mo Chen's preparations.
He didn't want to be arrested just because he stood out from the crowd. In any case, the outfit he is wearing now is a little too conspicuous in the world over there.
Although this outfit cannot be completely equivalent, it is at least very similar to the style of that world, and ordinary people should not easily find flaws.
This is Mo Chen's continuous shooting of videos in the past half a month, comparing and confirming, and finally choosing a set of clothes with the closest style. And it's not aristocratic, but it's not the kind of canvas garment of dockers.
Probably the level of dress of people or professionals who work in the office, the kind that is more than the upper and lower ones, will not attract special attention, and will not become the target of blackmail by some soldiers and gangsters.
Is this the best option?
But it's not the best choice and there is no way, although the best way is to order directly, but now in this situation, it's good to be able to temporarily find clothes that can be used, if you order it...... Who knows how long it will take?
Especially recently, the apocalyptic theory is very marketable, and many people are worried, let alone doing business, and there are many people who simply close the door and plan to enjoy the "rest of life".
Mo Chen was very difficult to even buy a few poultry at the beginning, and the government has been busy refuting rumors or spreading rumors recently, and it has been so busy that it is too busy.
Therefore, without knowing how long it will take to fully restore the order and pattern of the past, Mo Chen does not plan to continue to drag it out.
Somewhat clumsy put on his clothes, moved his arms a few times at will, and walked back and forth a few steps, Mo Chen felt a little unaccustomed, it should be because the size did not fit perfectly, but it did not affect his movements.
Putting his phone in his pocket, he checked it again, then ran up and down the room for a while, and only after making sure that the doors and windows were closed and locked, did he return to the light film.
Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes—
Don't give yourself any chance to think too much, but just make up your mind, and then take a step forward with a gritted tooth.
There is no special feeling, and if there is really any feeling of passing through a layer of things, most of them are just psychological illusions. Mo Chen just suddenly felt that his feet were empty, and he almost stumbled on his feet, and he stumbled unsteadily.
At the same moment, there was a kind of lively noise coming from the front.
It seemed as if he had suddenly stepped from his quiet room onto a bustling city street, and his heart suddenly "chuckled", and Mo Chen felt half joy and half fear.
It worked.
He slowly opened his eyes, and the bustling urban areas that he had seen countless times through video in the past half a month appeared around him:
The streets below, the docks in the distance, the stone avenues and tall buildings, and the roar of the air rail and trams above the city...... It's as if you've stepped through time and space into a Victorian painting.
In just such an instant, Mo Chen felt dizzy, and he almost couldn't stand steadily.
This is not the first time to cross, but compared to the previous crossing that was completed without warning or even preparation, this kind of self-selected and led crossing is the real exciting thing.
"Calm down, this kind of experience will not be rare in the future, I have to be more calm......"
He took a few quick breaths, then carefully put his hands on the ground to regain his footing.
Unsurprisingly, he appeared on the roof of a house, at least four meters from the street below.
- Although as long as you don't hit the ground first, even if you jump directly from this height, there is not much danger.
But Mo Chen didn't have any idea of taking risks, and for the soldiers patrolling the streets, he was definitely a suspicious character when he sneaked up on someone else's roof.
If it's a gunshot head-on, you're in trouble.
So find a safe place to go down and avoid the eyes of the crowd...... Thinking like this, Mo Chen did not stand up straight, but fell down.
He looked around vigilantly, then thought about it, and subconsciously turned his head to look behind him-
Immediately, my heart jumped, because the blue light film did not exist, and there was nothing behind me.
But this shouldn't be right, there's no reason to be able to return anything, it's just that you come here and something goes wrong. Maybe it's because the things that have been put away haven't been completely cut off, and there are selfie sticks or ropes involved?
Mo Chen didn't want to admit this possibility, and after thinking about it, he cautiously stretched out his hand and touched it forward.
His palms disappeared into the air, and the originally empty air was like the surface of the water, rippling with some transparent ripples, and only when he was close could he see the ripples.
Mo Chen's heart was relieved, and then he deliberately turned back once, and after successfully returning to his room, he completely relaxed.
It seems that this also explains why the conspicuous blue light film is open here, but it has never been noticed.
Mo Chen, who had calmed down, took this opportunity to check what he was carrying again. He couldn't bring much stuff other than his mobile phone, so for safety, he brought anti-wolf spray and electric shockers.
It's better to be prepared than to be unprepared, safety is the real first priority, and embarrassing things are not something that Mo Chen is thinking about now.
However, after thinking about the location where the portal was opened in the opposite world, as well as the height from the roof to the ground, after hesitating, Mo Chen still rummaged through it and found a medical kit in the house and took it with him.
Although I don't know the memory of my predecessor, I don't seem to be a raunchy otaku either.
At least although he lived alone, he was well kept clean and tidy - only in the first two days when Mo Chen had just crossed over, he was rummaged through and found a mess - and there were not many men who lived alone, and everything that should be prepared was prepared.
Even the fridge was stocked with all sorts of ingredients.
It's a pity that Mo Chen, who came through the time, was not able to inherit any cooking skills from his predecessor, and could only make a living.
……
……
"Well, it seems like something went wrong......
Mo Chen, who set off for another world again, was carefully moving on the roof with the medical kit at the moment.
There was a wide street below, but he couldn't just jump straight down, so he was going to move down the back alley, where he could hide his movements, and where there was a huge pitch-black iron pipe that he could climb with his strength.
Mo Chen's movements were not very flexible, after all, he had never done such a thing, even in junior high school, he had the experience of going out over the wall to surf the Internet, but that was many years ago.
Now that I have a medical kit on my body, it is even more cumbersome.
So he suddenly thought of a question, the original intention of bringing the medical kit was not to impersonate a doctor, just in case. If you accidentally get injured, you have an insurance policy.
However, if you are injured because you have a medical kit...... How should this matter be calculated?!
With a grin, he thought about it and took the box off and put it on the roof. Anyway, the "door" is open here, and sooner or later I will have to come back to this place, so I can't get around it.
As for whether or not it is possible to be found or something, there is nothing wrong with that.
Normally, no one will come here, but if someone does come here, you have to worry about whether the other party has discovered the hidden portal by mistake.
It's better to have a medical kit and direct their attention to the other side.
Because there was no obvious burden, Mo Chen's movements became much easier, and he quickly climbed down the huge iron pipe behind the house.
I don't know what the black iron pipes are used for, but they exist everywhere in the city, erected and connected between buildings.
But generally speaking, it should be a tap water or a sewage system or something, right?
Although the first impression is of the great industrial age with the roar of steam engines, the air tram also indicates that the development of the city is not completely ignorant and backward, and in some respects it is advanced enough.
Besides - this is not the earth, and it is normal that a lot of common sense is not universal.
“……”
“……”
Mo Chen stood in the secluded and gloomy alley, raised his head and looked at the place where he had just come down, and then exhaled a long breath, he pretended to be calm and walked out of the shadow of the alley and out of the street.
No one noticed, not the pedestrians or the soldiers on the street.
Mo Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly turned around, remembering the location of the alley he had just come out of, and at the same time remembering what characteristics were around. So that it is convenient for me to come back and look for it later, so as not to lose the way back in such a daze.
