Chapter Eighty-Three: Crossing the Scene
Parallel world, it is early morning on the weekend.
Xiao Chen and Luo Ling stood outside the original site of Huaxia University. It's autumn, and the early morning wind is chilly. Xiao Chen wrapped himself in a short windbreaker, and he didn't know if he really felt a little cold, or if he was naturally afraid of the unknown.
The events of two years ago are an unsolved mystery for the city that is difficult to hide. The news of that strange catastrophe spread out at an alarming speed as soon as the crossing occurred. The fact that a university disappears out of thin air in a bustling part of a city cannot be covered up in this age of mobile communications.
Only a few minutes after the incident, the photos and videos of the scene have already begun to be swiped in various groups and circles of friends.
However, because the incident itself is so unbelievable, there are countless specious and even nonsense claims in the process of news dissemination. People with rich imagination have made up all kinds of reasons in the case of incomplete information, from the occurrence of a big explosion, to the collapse of the ground, from the transmission of matter, to the abduction of human beings by aliens.
Moreover, just the explosion and other statements, some people speculate that it was attacked by foreign forces, some people speculate that there was an explosion of an arsenal underground, and some people even think that Huaxia University is conducting black hole research, because the experiment is out of control and the school disappears.
However, because the incident is difficult to explain scientifically, the official has not yet made a conclusion, and only uses the disappearance of substances caused by unknown causes to preliminarily characterize the incident.
Over the past two years, both official and non-governmental, domestic and foreign, a lot of energy and money have been invested in the study of this incident.
From the very beginning, the surrounding residents were evacuated, their houses were relocated, all the shops in the surrounding area were closed and cleared, and the government set up a research district within a block around Huaxia University. The area was encased with concrete walls and barbed wire.
In the first year of the year, a large number of researchers were stationed here to conduct research. But as time went on, more and more evidence proved that this was really just an ordinary pothole, as if a giant hand had dug up the university. There were no explosions, no radiation, no unknown elements, at most there were leaks in some pipes.
By now, many researchers have withdrawn from this place, and there are only some regular observation and vigilance personnel left, except for the undetermined scientific researchers.
After all, this big pit is located in the downtown area, and in order not to create a tense atmosphere, people are allowed to visit outside, except for the inside of the fence. Every day, many tourists come here to look and take pictures, and many even come from abroad to see the biggest mystery in the world in the last two years. Therefore, it was not strange for Xiao Chen and Luo Ling to appear outside the wall, pointing and pointing inside as they walked.
They circled the entire ruins of the school along the wall, and in the middle of the wall was a huge crater, the hole of varying depths, but generally an inverted cone, with the deepest in the center and relatively shallow around it. The shallowest part of this large pit is also six or seven meters, and the depth is at least ten meters. Various research institutes have built a number of temporary structures and support structures in the pits, and some engineering equipment and instruments are placed in the middle. However, at this point in time, there is basically no one working in it, only a few inspectors are walking back and forth, and the whole pit looks like a large archaeological excavation site that has been excavated halfway.
Xiao Chen walked while looking at a school map in his hand, the map was outlined in red and blue with two irregular circles, the blue pen drew the range of the part of the campus that fell to the other world, and the red pen drew the area that became a big pit here, as soon as the two compared, it was natural to know which parts disappeared from this side, but they did not travel to the era where Xiao Chen lived.
Xiao Chen carefully checked the situation at the scene according to the location of the map, his powerful spiritual power also has a role in this world, although there is no magic power here for him to drive, but at least his perception is much stronger than before, this feeling in the dark can help him find out the corresponding location on the map more accurately from the scene.
Luo Ling said: "In fact, you can see the general shape from the overhead photos. It doesn't make much sense to go through it so carefully. ”
Xiao Chen said: "After all, the overhead photo is a flat thing, and for the lost part of the land, I still want to see the depth below." Maybe there's a basement, a basement, or an underground garage or something?"
"That's just as well. Luo Ling nodded approvingly.
The two of them walked very slowly, for about an hour, before finally stopping near Gongde Road in the southeast part of the school, which is the two boundaries of the school, one east and one south. Their intersection is encased in a fence, but the scene can be seen through the barbed wire.
Xiao Chen looked at the map and said, "Starting from the crane arm on the right to the white sentry box here, it is the largest piece of missing position. Not only did they dig up a corner of the campus, but they also wrapped up a piece of land along the street. If I'm not mistaken, most of the place is walled, and there are flower beds and tennis courts behind the walls, and there aren't many people here on weekdays, so there shouldn't be a lot of people wrapped up in this area at that time. Feng Wen and Wang Wenyi were recruited outside the wall. There seem to be a few shops on the corner of the street. But I don't come to this corner often, I can't remember clearly, what kind of store could it be?"
"A convenience store, a hairdresser and two restaurants. Luo Ling said, "The day of the accident was supposed to be the weekend, and it was still early. Barber shops and restaurants should not be open, but there should be quite a few people in the convenience store. I remember that the convenience store had a dining area with tables and chairs so that people who bought food could sit down and eat. When I pass by at work, I also go to buy breakfast, and business should be good all morning, and there should be several clerks and customers in there that day. ”
Xiao Chen said: "This is a problem that we didn't notice at first. There was a group of people who were left out. ”
Luo Ling said: "Is it so urgent for these people to find out or not to find out? At most, it is just to add a few people who are similar to Feng Wen to the list of traversers." I didn't expect you to have the heart to come into this world in a hurry to do this when the army went out. ”
