Wei Yi took Wei Zitong and slowly walked into the strange city in front of him. As they stepped into the city, the space behind them suddenly shook.

It was as if there was a sudden ripple on the calm water. After a slight ripple, everything was back to normal. But when Wei Yi looked back, he was surprised to find that the world behind them had completely changed.

There are no woods, no vast and infinite wilderness, only crowded streets, and all kinds of people on the streets. Wei Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him.

"It's a space technology." Wei Zitong whispered beside Wei Yi, "We should have entered from one space to another. This may be connected to the node we were on before. It must be the place we just entered. ”

Wei Yi shook his head and took a few steps back. Nothing happened. Behind him, there was not another exit. He was still standing on the noisy street.

"Disposable." Wei Yi smiled and said to Wei Zitong, "It seems that we have to find another way." ”

Wei Zitong stared around in amazement, and only nodded after a while, accepting the facts in front of him. She turned her head and took a closer look at the new world in front of her. It was a world completely different from the one they knew. The people here are walking on the streets, but they are all expressionless.

Wei Yi carefully looked at everyone who passed by him. Those people had extremely blank expressions on their faces. "Something seems wrong with these people." Wei Yi said softly, "They look like a bunch of walking dead. There is no sense of autonomy. ”

"Can't you see through here? You try to see if they're programmed? Wei Zitong turned his head sideways and said to Wei Yi.

Wei Yi shook his head and said, "Not for the time being." I got some injuries to my eyes. I can't watch it for the time being. ”

As he spoke, he walked into the distance. He said to Wei Zitong as he walked, "Let's take a look." Now that we're here, we'll have to see what kind of puzzle it is. Since it's a test, there must be a solution. ”

Wei Zitong answered, and followed Wei Yi up. The two of them walked down the wide street, through the bustling crowd, towards a shop in the distance.

The long battle had already made Wei Yi feel a little hungry. He now needs to eat in order to maintain his physical strength and the energy he needs to fight. Wei Zitong is the same.

Although they all had a vague feeling that this might be a virtual world, their hungry stomachs couldn't be taken care of that much. Now, even if he gave Wei Yi a large ball of copper wire, he would not hesitate to eat it all. If he can bite, of course.

"Hey! Welcome. When Wei Yi and the others walked into the store, they were greeted warmly.

Wei Yu and the others were stunned, and together they looked at the person who greeted them. It was a very old man. But he was physically strong, and he was still firm and strong when he walked.

"Aha, two new arrivals. Welcome," the old man walked up to Wei Yu and the two of them in a few steps, and looked at them both carefully.

He stared at Wei Yu and the others for a while, and then suddenly continued: "Two lost passers-by. It's good, it's good. Good thing you didn't walk in through the main entrance. ”

"What do you mean?" Wei Yi looked at the old man puzzled and asked.

The old man shrugged his shoulders and said to Wei Yi, "Young man, you are very lucky. You didn't come in through the main entrance of the city, which means you didn't drink the Ecstasy soup. Those who do not drink the soup of ecstasy do not become the living dead. ”

"The living dead? What is that? Wei Zitong hurriedly asked aloud on the side.

"Oh, little girl, hello. I used to have a daughter, and she's about the same age as you. The old man said with some nostalgia.

Wei Zitong asked again, and the old man replied slowly, "Haven't you already seen it?" The people out there. They are. Basically, everybody is here. ”

After listening to this, Wei Yi carefully looked at the old man in front of him a few times and asked, "What about you?" It doesn't look like you're the same as the people out there. ”

"Uh-huh." The old man nodded and said, "That's nature. Someone has to settle accounts, sell things, and maintain the food supply of this world. Otherwise, even if they were the living dead, they would starve to death. No one can live well without eating. ”

Wei Yi and Wei Zitong looked at each other and smiled. Looks like they've come to the right place. Wei Yi turned his head to look at the old man, and his mind was racing with thoughts, trying to find a way to get out of this strange city from the old man's mouth.

The old man looked at Wei Yi, smiled, and said, "I know what you're thinking. Youngster. You're thinking, how do you get out of here? ”

Wei Yi nodded and generously acknowledged. The old man smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "No." I've been here for almost twenty years. There is simply no way to leave. ”

"What?" Wei Yi and Wei Zitong were taken aback at the same time.

"Twenty years? Is this a real city? Wei Yi asked in surprise.

The old man nodded and said, "Of course, otherwise, what do you think this place is?" A game? Hehe, don't be stupid, young man. ”

The old man turned around and walked towards the store, beckoning Wei and the others to follow as he went. Wei Yi and Wei Zitong glanced at each other and stepped forward. The old man looked back and saw them coming, and smiled happily at them.

As he walked, he continued to say to Wei Yu and the others: "Many years ago, I was just like you, full of curiosity about this world. Then, I went around. I walked across the Yangtze River, walked across the Yellow River. Oh, by the way, I've also been to the Tien Shan. ”

The old man said, looked back at Wei Yi with a little smugness, and said very mysteriously: "Do you still think that there are water monsters in that big pool in Tianshan Mountain?" ”

Wei Yi nodded. The old man laughed and continued, "I told you that it was fake. Actually, there was no water monster at all, it was a prehistoric lizard. A ridiculously large lizard. I also took a picture with it. ”

The old man chattered endlessly with Wei Mi and the others. He told Wei Yi a lot about his past. Wei Yi could see that the old man was very happy. Perhaps, in this place, meeting two people who are equally sane makes the old man feel like he has met a confidant.

"How did you get here?" Wei Yi asked as he followed the old man deeper into the store.

"Oh, that's a long story." The old man said. He led Wei and the two to a small room behind the store, and beckoned them to walk in. It's a room that doesn't take up too much space.

The interior of the room has a distinct layout. It looks like a one-bedroom, one-bedroom, kitchen-one-bathroom structure. Standard single room. The furnishings in the house are very ordinary. There are no big pieces of furniture. There is a dining table for four people in one corner of the room. "Maybe it's the living room." Wei Yi thought to himself.

"Come, I know you're all hungry. The food here cannot be eaten casually. I'll get you some green, non-toxic clean food. It's not for sale out there. The old man winked at Wei and the others, turned around and went to prepare food.

Wei Yi and Wei Zitong stood in the room, casually looking around. Simple layout, simple house. This is probably the room where the old man has lived for twenty years.

Thinking like this, Wei Yi raised his voice and asked the old man who was busy in the kitchen: "Old man, you have lived here for twenty years?" ”

"No," corrected the old man, poking his head out of the kitchen, thinking for a moment, "nineteen years and six months, to be exact. For a few months, I was begging for a living on the streets. Grab turf with a bunch of maniacs. He was almost thrown off the railroad tracks. ”

As he spoke, he stuck his head back, and as he busied himself with his work, he continued: "Then the previous owner of this house took me in. I've lived here since he died. Until now. ”

"Besides you, is there anyone else who is also sober?" Wei Yi asked in surprise.

"Yes, why not. It's not just the two of you who are the lucky ones. And then there are the others, who are also lucky. However, they are not as friendly as you. The old man carried a large pot of steaming broth, and said as he walked, "Come, do me a favor." Today it's for three people, which is a bit too heavy. I'm kind of at a loss. ”

Wei Yi hurriedly ran forward and reached out to take the cauldron in the old man's hand. The steaming fresh broth made Wei Yi's stomach gurgle violently. Wei Yi smiled awkwardly at the old man, and quickly put the cauldron on the table.

The old man laughed, turned around and went into the kitchen again, bringing in the rest of the food. With the help of Wei Yi and the others, a table of delicious food was soon filled with food.

"You're welcome, we'll talk while we eat." The old man slowly sat down in front of the dining table, served a bowl of hot soup first, and drank it first.

When Wei Yi and Wei Zitong saw it, they immediately picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate them. "My food here is fine. You're lucky. I just got some more the other day. If you're a few days late, you're going to have to eat the free food in question like the people out there. The old man said to Wei Yu and the others while eating.

Wei Yi frowned slightly, and asked, "Old man, we still don't know anything about this situation. Can you tell me more about that? My sister and I somehow got here. I've got to get her out of here. ”

When the old man heard this, he carefully looked at Wei Yi and Wei Zitong. After a while, he nodded and said, "Well, indeed." You two look alike. It does look like a brother and sister. Okay, then I'll tell you about it. What kind of place is this? ”

As the old man spoke, he slowly explained to Wei Yi and the others. After listening to this, Wei Yi understood what kind of strange world they had entered in.
