Chapter 22 What's Under the River Bridge?
Bai Siyi and Lin Feifei walked along the edge of this low, narrow, dim space, in the direction of the bridge to the other side of the river.
The bridge is surprisingly long, and if it were in the real world, it would have been a major project of the century. Even if it is placed in a dungeon, it is an ideal casino for players to fight each other.
While still at the beginning of the bridge, the top of the bridge was extremely quiet, and the layers of fog seemed to isolate all sounds and dangers from the bridge above. However, the two of them still walk quietly and cautiously, and the players' abilities are strange, who knows if there is an ability to find the two little mice sneaking under the bridge deck through the thick bridge deck.
When the two of them safely reached the end of the bridge, the two of them clearly felt that the bridge above their heads had become different.
On top of the layers of fog, even the thick bridge deck could not block out all the sound.
The two of them heard the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground, and it seemed that a strong man was lifting the cars on the bridge again and again, and then throwing them on the ground roughly, and the sound of the cars hitting and rubbing against each other made people's teeth ache.
They walked forward a little further, this time hearing the strange giggle of a woman, which didn't sound loud, but came clearly into their ears through the mist. The sound rolled in the mist, flickering far and near, one moment making people think that the woman who was making the sound was behind them, and the other time it made people feel that the sound source was very far away.
When Lin Feifei heard this voice, he immediately became nervous, and his right hand that was grabbing Bai Si's arm tightened unconsciously, pinching Bai Si's arm in pain.
Bai Si turned his head to look at Lin Feifei, the boy who exuded a moon-white light had a pale face, biting his lower lip with his teeth, and his body was trembling slightly, obviously terrified.
Bai Siyi could only use his other hand to pat Lin Feifei's right hand on her arm as a sign of comfort. Lin Feifei felt the warmth coming from Bai Siyi's body, calmed down a little, lowered his head and stared at his toes tightly, not daring to look around, and followed Bai Siyi step by step.
Suddenly, the eerie laughter vanished, followed by a crash and a woman's angry scream.
"You dead banana man, and you take off your clothes indiscriminately, wait for the old lady to catch you, let you take off at once."
Hearing this, any terrifying atmosphere immediately dissipated. Lin Feifei's body trembled even more. Bai Siyi turned his head to look at Lin Feifei again, and the boy was still biting his lip, but this time he was obviously holding back his laughter.
Above the bridge, all kinds of strange sounds came one after another, but the two people under the bridge kept moving forward silently. The bridge's thick and sturdy reinforced concrete deck separates the top and bottom of the bridge into two worlds. A world full of dangers, a world of peace and tranquility.
Since there was no timekeeping tool, Bai Siyi had no way of knowing how long the two of them had been walking. However, the light of the outside world gradually brightened, and it was no longer dim. The thick fog that had been hanging over the river was much thinner.
The two men finally came to the end on the other side of the bridge. It was still a ladder leading to the top of the bridge. Bai Siyi didn't say much, and climbed up first.
When the two sisters and brothers climbed back to the road and looked back at the bridge, looking at the outline of the car gradually revealed in the fog, there was a sense of unreality.
The two did not stop at the bridgehead for long, found the red letter written on the bridgehead, and continued to move forward in the direction indicated by the arrow.
Lin Feifei pulled Bai Siyi, and the two of them hurriedly walked through the street. Although there is not as much fog in the city as on the river, the tall and low buildings are also covered with a thin veil. The two of them discussed it for a while and decided to make as many trips as possible while the sun had not yet fully risen to dispel the morning fog.
Eventually, the words that pointed the way changed.
"There are still 1,000 meters away from the safety zone of the vegetable market, and 500 meters from the central range of the vegetable market is the safe range, please be conscious." An arrow straight forward, pointing straight ahead of the road. In the distance of the road, a red building with irregular geometric shapes stacked in the distance is in sight.
"It's finally almost here." Lin Feifei squinted his eyes and looked at the rising sun, which was already more than a person high, and estimated that it would be eight or nine o'clock now. I just feel very tired along the way. This exertion is not physical, but the result of high mental stress.
Most of the fog in the city had dissipated, and just now, Bai Siyi was still thinking about whether to find a building and hide until the evening before continuing to walk. After all, it is too dangerous for two people who have no combat power to swagger on the sunlit road like this.
Don't think that Bai Siyi's caution is superfluous, her caution has saved her more than once in the short few days of play.
Courage also requires strength to support, if you can't recognize your own strength and act rashly, that's not a warrior, that's a stupid lack.
When Bai Si holds the dragon slaying knife in one hand, is full of artifacts, has full skills, and rides a divine beast under her crotch, she can naturally swagger in this game and go wherever she wants. Although, judging from Bai Siyi's style of acting for more than 20 years, she would never do this.
At this time, because of Bai Siyi's caution, although the two of them did not plan to wait until it was dark to continue moving, they still found a roadside building and got in.
It is a multi-purpose office complex. As he climbed up the safe passage to the top floor of the building, he saw many company name tags hanging on the walls of the building. From men's brand sexy underwear sales offices to cockroach medicine after-sales service centers, it is really diverse and eye-opening.
I really don't know who developed this game, it's always full of bad fun in such small details. Could it be that because the game is spent on the design of these inconsequential details, there is no money to buy servers, so it is desperately encouraging players to consume each other to reduce the pressure on the game? Bai Siyi thought with evil fun as he climbed the stairs.
When he climbed to the top floor, Bai Siyi searched around, but he couldn't find a way to go up to the rooftop. Also, in this kind of public complex, if everyone can go to the rooftop casually, it is purely the property idle and in a panic to find trouble for themselves.
Bai Si retreated, since he couldn't go up to the rooftop, he would find a suitable location on this floor.
Bai Siyi chose a direction where he could look at the red geometric building, and pushed open the glass door of the company in front of him.
As soon as you enter the company, you can see the office spaces that are neatly divided by partitions. In each office, desktop computers, file compartments, pen holders, paper and other office tools are readily available, and it is completely like someone will work here normally, as if these people just happened to go to a meeting and may come back at any time.
Bai Si's eyes casually drifted over the two adjacent tabletops, and he found that the number and style of pens placed in the pen holder were different.
When the two of them walked to the window of this company, Lin Feifei's leg accidentally touched the corner of a desk, and the desk trembled slightly. Lin Feifei rubbed the part that touched the corner of the table indifferently, but Bai Siyi hurriedly came over, wanting to ask Lin Feifei if it would hurt a lot.
However, before Bai Si could speak, his attention was drawn to an object on his desk.
Originally, all the computer screens in the office were black. Bai Siyi thought that these computers were just decorations, set props to add realism to the game. But the computer on the desk that Lin Feifei bumped into lit up under the impact, revealing an open page. That page is a well-known genuine novel website that Bai Siyi knew before he entered the game. At this time, the page is stuck in the book review area of a new book called "Dark XXXX", and the book review box also enters half a sentence "This book is really ...... style". Apparently, the computer was being used before, and the person using the computer left for some reason, and the computer went into automatic protection mode. Lin Feifei's impact just now may have trembled the mouse, so the computer screen lit up again.
Bai Siyi stared at the computer screen for a while, and suddenly said to Lin Feifei: "Move the mouse of each computer." With that, she headed towards the left side of the company.
Lin Feifei looked at Bai Siyi, who was busy, and then at the computer with the screen lit up next to him, and decided to do it first, and then ask his sister the reason.
There are only about 20 office spaces at the entrance of this company, and it took two people a short time to complete the simple task of moving a mouse.
More than half of the more than 20 computers are screensaved. Some interfaces stay on company documents, while others are chat software. There is also one that actually stays on the interface of a forum post, and the editing bar reads, "I made an appointment with a female netizen to meet, and opened a room for 200 yuan at night, will she dislike me?" ”
Bai Siyi looked at the computer screens that lit up, and his fingers never left the rivets on his clothes. Fortunately, although the pattern on this dress is not mainstream, the quality is still very good, and the rivets on it have not been cut off by Bai Siyi's dense destruction.
"Sister?" Lin Feifei waited for a long time, and when he saw that Bai Si didn't speak, he only felt that the curiosity in his heart was like a seed that had been sleeping for too long, wanting to seize every opportunity to break out of his mouth.
Bai Siyi shook his head: "I just think some things are very strange, but this matter is not important now, let's go to the window." After speaking, Bai Siyi grabbed Lin Feifei's right arm and walked towards the window that was projecting bright sunlight.
Lin Feifei was so angry that Bai Siyi replied vaguely, but he didn't have the slightest way to force her to speak. I could only helplessly follow Bai Siyi forward. Forget it, since my sister doesn't think this matter is important, when it becomes important, he won't listen to it, hum.
Two men looked out the window. This building is a relatively tall building nearby, and the two of them are on the top floor, so they can immediately see the red building thousands of kilometers away and the straight avenue leading to the building at a glance.
Looking from a bird's-eye view, it was immediately clear that the area around the red building was different from the other places the two of them had traveled along the way. How to put it, there is a feeling that there is an extra layer of popularity around the building. Although there is still no traffic in a real-world metropolis, there are traces of human activity in that area.
For example, there are several players who are still cautious, but dare to walk on the streets, and do not attack each other; For example, several hydrogen balloons floating in the air with banners pulled underneath; For example, hanging high above a red building, it occupies a huge trademark the size of half a wall.
It was a huge circle, and the inside of the circle was split into red and blue halves by a strip of white from the center.
That trademark Bai Siyi is no stranger, this carbonated drink that is sold in almost every corner of the real world, even if you have never drunk it, you will not know anything about it.
"Dare to infringe on the trademark law so arrogantly, it seems that this vegetable market is real." Bai Siyi felt that the trek between the two of them was worth it.
Bai Siyi and Lin Feifei looked down at this floor for a long time. When the sun was about to reach overhead, I saw two people chasing and running close from afar.
When the person running in front saw the red letter on the ground prompting 1000 meters, he immediately felt like he had been beaten with chicken blood, and his speed increased by a few points, while the person chasing behind him began to slow down, and seemed to know that he had wasted his time in vain today. After continuing to chase for dozens of meters, the people behind simply stopped, stood in place and watched from a distance as the people in front ran into a range of 500 meters. What about the people in front? As soon as he entered a safe distance, he immediately turned around and waved to the person behind him, then turned around and pouted his ass and rushed to the person behind him, slapping it twice hard. The people behind were so angry that they almost jumped up and rushed over, desperately killing the people in front of them, but in the end, reason prevailed, and they just made a neck wiping motion at the people in front of them, and then turned around and left, disappearing into the urban jungle.
Of course, Bai Si couldn't see this series of things clearly, and Lin Feifei relayed them to her. In Bai Siyi's eyes, there were just two black squares moving and sliding in front of him.
Lin Feifei's description was vivid and vivid, and her tone was brisk and clear, and Bai Siyi, who was listening to it on the sidelines, felt that she was listening to a well-made radio drama. However, when Lin Feifei began to describe the changes in the facial expressions of the two people before and after, Bai Siyi still opened his mouth to stop him. This is a distance of several hundred meters, how can it be possible to see the expressions of two people clearly. It seems that in the process of the boy's retelling just now, I don't know how much of it was made up by his own brain. Bai Siyi felt funny and helpless, so he could only stretch out his hand and rub it a few times on the boy's soft black hair, causing Lin Feifei to complain.
"Okay, let's go, let's go to the vegetable market with my sister." Bai Si smiled and said to Lin Feifei.
