Then, as more and more people walked into the building, the originally dark rooms began to light up from the bottom up. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info started with the lighting on the ground floor of the building, except for a few rooms that were still not lit, and within ten minutes, many buildings became brightly lit. At first glance, it looks like a night in a city on Earth, but the whole town only looks bustling from the outside, but in fact, under the bright daylight of the day, the town is left silent.

By this time, almost all the people had already gotten out of the car, and only one or two people had come out of the cars that had been at the end of the convoy from time to time, and the avenue that had looked wide was now a little crowded, but even in this case, everyone seemed to be in good order, and those who were not in a hurry to go upstairs were leaning towards the wall to make way for those who were in a hurry to go home, while those who were in a hurry to get home did not push and shove, they took each staircase as a starting point, An orderly line slowly moved towards the building.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Xin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then asked, "Are they ready to go home like this?" ”

"That's right." Aina nodded, "Go home and wash up, and then you can rest." ”

"What do those who are not in a hurry to get home do on the road?" Zhou Xin asked suspiciously, looking at both sides of the road, he had no idea what these people could do if they stayed on the road, he didn't think that so many people would go to those few shops on the side of the street to have a look.

"I didn't do anything." Sure enough, Aina's answer was similar to what Zhou Xin thought, "They just don't want to queue up for such a long time, and they will go back in a while." ”

Sure enough, just as most of the people had gone upstairs, those who were still standing on the road began to line up to the end of the line, which was not long anymore, and were ready to go upstairs. In the footage of the detector, all Zhou Xin could see was a few dozen people walking into the shops on the street, but it didn't take long for these people to walk out of the stores and into the line. Looking at the simple furnishings in the store and those goods with only a few items, Zhou Xin couldn't help but shake his head, "It's no wonder that such a store can't attract customers." ”

"And what does your store look like? Are there a lot of people buying things? Hearing Zhou Xin's words, Aina asked curiously.

Zhou Xin thought about it, and he didn't know how to explain to the little girl what the real store looked like, so he had to reply: "It can't be compared, and it's not easy to compare." ”

At this time, as the last person stepped out of the car, the vehicles of the entire convoy stopped at the same time, and at that moment, all the cars fell into a big pit together. Zhou Xin saw that the air cushion under the original vehicle disappeared, and all the cars were parked directly on the road. As it fell onto the road, the bright lights on the front of each car went out.

"These cars—?" Seeing this, before Zhou Xin could speak, Spred began to ask, "They stopped here like this?" ”

"yes, where else else can I stop?" Aina replied.

"Aren't they going back?"

"Why go back? These cars will pick everyone up tomorrow, so it's not convenient to park here. ”

The answer of "......" was a little speechless to almost everyone present, and after being silent for a while, Zhou Xin suddenly remembered, "Where are the drivers in these cars?" ”

"There's no driver." Aina's answer was not very surprising to Zhou Xin, "All the cars are driverless, and all of them are controlled by the control center, everything on the car is fully automatic, how about it, it's amazing." She spoke with a hint of pride.

While he was talking, most of the people on the road were gone, and they all returned to their rooms. Then another half hour passed, and there were not many people left in the streets, and the road, which had seemed to be bustling with activity, was completely deserted, and those who remained on the road were now hurrying towards their homes, and the doors of the shops on the side of the road had begun to close at this time. After a while, all that was left of the road was the glow of the streetlamps and the occasional figure passing by.

After a while, even the few figures disappeared, and in the photos sent back by the detector, all the roads in the town were silent, and only the cars parked in the road could remind people of the hustle and bustle. At this time, as if an order, all the street lights were extinguished at the same time, and the road was suddenly plunged into darkness. Compared to the brightly lit buildings on either side, the dark road is like a dividing line, cutting the bright town into several pieces.

And at this time, every room in all the buildings lit up. Zhou Xin saw that the curtains in most of the rooms had now been closed, and only countless shadows could be seen reflected on them. Through the shadows reflected in the curtains, everyone saw at least one figure in each room, and even two or three figures were reflected in some curtains. The figures sat or stood, and some even walked around the room, appearing on the curtains and disappearing into the windows.

After nearly half an hour of this scene, everyone saw that some of the lights in the building were starting to go out. It was as if a chain reaction had been triggered, and after the first lights went out, the lights in all the buildings began to go out one after another. In less than ten minutes, many of the rooms in the building had gone dark, except for a few rooms with lights still dotting each building, and the town was noticeably dimmer from above.

The lights in the room continued to go out, and there were fewer and fewer rooms that were still on, and at this time, the lights in the hallway were also extinguished at the same time, and only a few lights remained in the whole town. But within a few minutes, even the lights went out. Just as at night, the whole town was plunged into darkness, and only the bright "moonlight" still spread throughout the town. If it weren't for the cars parked on the road, everyone would have thought that what they saw before was an illusion, and there was still no one in this town. And at this time, it was less than two hours before the first car entered the town.

"Are you all going to rest?" Although he had seen it on the screen, Zhou Xin still didn't believe it, and he opened his mouth to confirm.

"Of course." Aina replied, "It's not too early, I have to work tomorrow." ”

"Is this what it looks like every day?" Spred asked.

"yes, it's like this every day."

Hearing the little girl's answer, everyone in the command cabin stared at the small town on the screen and fell silent, and it took a long time for Spred to squeeze out a sentence, "I can't believe that people in this country are living like this, it's really unimaginable." Hearing his words, everyone still didn't show anything, just watched quietly, only the little girl looked at everyone with a curious expression on her face, and there was Blue, who was still curiously wandering around the command cabin, he was just immersed in his own world, and he didn't hear what everyone said before.

The silence lasted for a moment, then was broken by Atlas's voice, "Brother Captain, since it's already night in the town, why don't you let the probe continue to explore other places?" ”

Zhou Xin came back to his senses, he thought about it, and then ordered: "Leave a few detectors here, and you can still investigate their work during the day tomorrow." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Christy made a move, and after a few seconds, many of the screens were darkened, and only five windows were left showing the scene in the town, and the five detectors were observing the town from different angles in the air, but no light was emitting from the town from either direction. In the soft "moonlight", the whole town looks like a huge model.

Looking at the model on the screen, Zhou Xin sorted out the information he had obtained before in his heart, pondered for a while, and when he caught a glimpse of Aina standing next to him out of the corner of his eye, he remembered the questions related to this town that he had doubted before.

"Aina, do you find it strange that this town was built in this place?" Zhou Xin asked.

"Strange? Why do you think it's weird? The little girl didn't know what Zhou Xin meant by this question at all. However, the others all turned their attention after hearing Zhou Xin's question, obviously they also wanted to know the answer to this question.

"Isn't it really strange to build in such a polluted place?" Zhou Xin thought that Aina didn't know what kind of environment was around the town, so he gave the little girl a brief introduction to the surrounding situation.

Unexpectedly, after listening to Zhou Xin's description, Aina did not show any strange look on her face, she said habitually: "There is no problem, the place chosen in this town is very good." And by pollution, what do you mean? ”

"You don't know what pollution is?" Zhou Xin's tone looked very surprised, and after thinking about it, he asked Atlas to release the photos of the coastline taken by the probe, and then he pointed to the sea water that had turned into ink and the garbage piled up on the shoreline in the picture and asked, "What do you think about these things, don't you think it's bad to directly discharge these sewage into the sea?" ”

"What's so bad?" Aina's tone was still normal, "We've always done this, nature will dispose of everything here." ”

"Oh my God." Hearing the little girl's statement, Zhou Xin patted his head with a headache, "You never think this will cause harm to nature?" ”

"Why, Uncle Captain, you're kidding." This time, Aina's tone was a little strange, "There is so much seawater, so a little sewage won't cause a big impact." ”

"Have you never learned about environmental protection before?" Seeing that Aina still didn't pay attention to what she said, Zhou Xin thought for a while, and then asked.

"No, what is environmental protection?"

"Well, when I didn't ask." Zhou Xin's tone looked a little helpless, and then he asked, "In other words, none of you think it's wrong to do this, but you never think that it won't cause any harm to the planet, right?" ”

"Isn't that so?" Hearing Zhou Xin's reconfirmation, Aina asked in a strange tone.

The conversation between Zhou Xin and Aina before made everyone feel very surprised, and when he heard this, Spred finally couldn't help but interject and asked, "Then the other towns you have been to, their surroundings are the same as this town?" ”

"It's different." The little girl replied, but her next words changed everyone's minds once again, "The environment around other towns is much worse than this one. ”

"And what is the other town like around it?" This time it was Dart's question.

"Somewhere else—" Aina recalled, tilting her head, "as soon as you get out of town, all you can see is a mountain of garbage." Then her brow furrowed, "At that time, people were sitting in the car, and although the car had an air conditioning device, they could still smell a very strange smell." And, even if you live in town, this strange stench wafts in from time to time. Then she glanced at the town on the screen, and a yearning expression appeared on her face, "The environment around this town is really good, even I want to live in it for a while." ”

Hearing the little girl's description, everyone was speechless in surprise, and Spred's brows furrowed, he thought for a moment, and then asked, "Since the small town is what you say, what about the big city?" Is there any difference? ”

"I haven't been there, so I don't know." Aina shook her head, "But I've heard people say that the environment in the city is better than in the town, but the surrounding environment seems to be similar. ”

After listening to Aina's answer, Zhou Xin couldn't help but say: "It seems that the environmental problems on this continent are not as optimistic as we discussed before, and this has already caused serious damage to the environment. ”

"Seriously?" The little girl still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and she still asked in a daze.

"If you continue like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to find a suitable place to live." Zhou Xin said solemnly, speaking of this, he remembered one thing that the little girl had said before, "By the way, did you say before that you are renovating some harsh environments to be suitable for living?" They even have to reclaim the sea to expand their living space. Seeing that the little girl nodded, he continued to ask, "What exactly are the harsh conditions you are talking about?" Do you know......? ”
