Chapter 15: No Man's City (12) Factory

"You're saying that the world is entirely made up of areas where we are the central point? Isn't there any other area? Lin Ya's voice was a little higher than usual, with some disbelief.

Wolf Fang nodded, his arm bent at ninety degrees, raised his arm high, if you look at it like this, his posture makes people feel very weird, but if you imagine that his arm is propped up on a wall, then look at this posture, it will feel very normal,

And in reality, he was indeed propped up against a wall—an invisible wall.

He said: "I think it is like this, based on the distance we walked, and the change of the street, it should be centered on each person, and in this direction there are 25 kilometers on the left and right sides, and the areas are spliced together, and the boundary of the outermost area is this kind of transparent wall. ”

I reached out and knocked on the wall, the texture was so hard that I couldn't see any trace of its existence with my eyes, and I could only be sure of its existence by touching it with my hand.

This invisible wall has a glass-like texture and is smooth to the touch, but strangely, it seems to have no temperature, and you can't feel even the slightest cold or warm feeling when you touch the palm of your hand. In fact, there is a temperature difference between any two objects in the world, even if you touch the back of the other hand with the palm of your own hand, you will feel the difference in temperature between the two, but when my palm touches the invisible wall, I don't feel any temperature difference. It's a weird and unreasonable thing to do, but I don't think I need to make a fuss about it here.

And on the other side of the wall, there was nothingness, complete nothingness, heaven, earth, or anything else.

I walked to the invisible wall and held it to look out, it was empty and empty, and there was no boundless space, which made me feel a little dizzy and uncomfortable.

Looking down, it seems to be floating in the sky, and looking up, it seems to have fallen into a bottomless abyss.

Perhaps this strange world, created by the so-called earth consciousness, is itself a bottomless abyss.

"Alas, although I had expected that there would be no such simple solution as escaping the city, when I realized that it really didn't work... I'm still a little disappointed. Lin Ya scratched his head, with a helpless wry smile on his face, "If the entire city is surrounded by this kind of wall, it will be quite like we are trapped in it, will there be other dangers for the time being, I'm afraid the problem of food alone is enough for us to have a headache." ”

Mecca's face didn't look good, and although he tried his best to hide it, he could still hear some fear in his voice: "No... It's okay, the food... There must be somewhere else! Right! There must still be more! It's a city, we're not going to starve! ”

I turned my head away from Mecca's pale face, and I knew from his slightly stammering words that he probably knew how unfortunate we were now. We've looked for a lot of places along the way, but there's no food at all in the second place except for the cellar in the cliff, not at all.

In fact, we all know very well that there must be food to say anything, but it is just self-deception.

However, compared to Mecca's fear at this time, I was relatively calm at this time. First, because we had heard from the Wolf Tooth that we were still in the room, and secondly... Also because of the conversation with Wolf Fang just now.

Ever since my parents passed away in a car accident, I never thought that anyone would see my life as the same as their own, or even more important than their own. Even though he was because we somehow had the same pendant, and even though I thought my heart was already in a deep pool of stagnant water, his words were like a sudden pebble that caused ripples when it fell into the lake of my heart.

I raised my hand and pressed it to my chest, and the heart in my chest was not beating very fast, just the usual frequency, but it gave me a strange feeling.

I think it's called throbbing.

Even though I knew very well that I wouldn't have a crush on a man I'd known for a day, even if I knew that it had nothing to do with love. But I think the way I feel right now is... Throb.

Humans are really strange creatures, they have nothing to do with their own emotions, and just because a word can produce feelings that they can't control for a person who is not very familiar.

It is probably because of this strange trait of human beings that there are so many infatuations in this world.

However, I am absolutely certain that this will definitely not include me and him.

I looked at the wolf's fangs and saw that he was drawing something on the notebook in his hand, which should be the one he had drawn the map earlier. He drew a few strokes, stared at it and frowned for a moment, then looked up and said.

He said: "Don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so let's drive along this wall, so that at least we can know how big the area is, and it is easy to find other people, which is the best option we can choose at the moment." ”

I saw Lin Ya nodding, and seemed to agree with Wolf Fang's plan: "Wolf Tooth is right, although we know that this may be a closed room, but there is still only so much we can do, so let's continue to find others according to the original plan." ”

"Also... That's all there is to it. Mecca's face was still pale, but she agreed.

At this time, the three of them all expressed their attitudes, and the wolf fang turned to look at me and asked, "Mo Li, what about you, do you have any opinions?" ”

Obviously, the wolf's eyes were still the same as before, and the deep darkness of the eyes in the narrow eyes was calm and unwavering, but I felt that something seemed to have changed, at least before the pendant incident, he would never remember to ask my opinion.

Maybe... There is a third reason why I am calmer than Mecca, and that is what the Wolf Fang has just said to me, or the promise made to me, that a protector who knows the Endless Room and is very capable, and I am afraid that is what reassures me the most. Strangely, even though he was still a stranger to me that I couldn't fully trust, I completely believed his words - "If I don't die, you won't die." ”

Wait, what I'm thinking now... Isn't it dangerous? Inexplicably believing in the promise given by a man who went crazy because of the pendant, and taking this as a reliance on his own life? Mo Li, Mo Li, just listen to some words, if you really put your life on one sentence, then you are really crazy.

After admonishing ourselves to be sensible, and shaking our heads to show that I had no objections, the four of us set off again, still in a car with two people, along the invisible wall.

Even after the "car accident" just now, the car was only slightly dented by the front cover and lost the front and side windows.

Although the wolffang's attitude towards me has changed a little after the previous promise made because of the pendant, I am very glad that he still maintains his previous coldness and does not show any special enthusiasm for me in the usual interactions.

This really relieved me, I'm not a very good person to interact with people, and I don't know how to maintain a close and friendly relationship with people. For me, this kind of distant and polite relationship is the most comfortable social state.

And as for that promise... When I calmed down, I didn't ask him to do anything for me, and I didn't think that because of his words, he had an obligation to lay down his life to protect me. If he really had to sacrifice his life to save me, it was because I had a wolf tooth pendant that was of use to him, not because I had any friendship with him. To put it bluntly, if he really saves me, it is also for himself, he has his own purpose, and he is not giving anything for me unconditionally, so why should I care too much?

With this in mind, I didn't have any idea of getting close to him, and I didn't say anything all the way, and when it was completely dark, we found the corner of the room.

Based on the situation we summarized on the road today, combined with the information provided by Lin Ya on the street changes, Wolf Fang deduced that the area centered on each person should be a rectangular area with a length of 50 km and a width of 45 km, and also deduced the location of the new center point of this area in the corner of the room.

We made our way to the new center point that Wolf Fang had guessed, and sure enough, we found a building in his guess location - it was a factory.

If Wolf Fang's guess is correct, we can hopefully find a new companion here.

Looking at the surroundings, the factory seems to be located in the suburbs, surrounded by large overgrown wasteland. By this time, night had completely fallen, and the factories that had lost power stood in the boundless darkness. There were only a few faint stars in the sky, and by the faint light of the moon, only the black outline of the factory building could be faintly seen, accompanied by the sound of insects one after another, revealing a kind of intimidation and strangeness.

For the sake of safety, we did not get out of the car and approach the factory, but drove slowly around the factory building to the back of the building. Although the yellowish light of the headlights brought light, but under this only light, the wild grass was even more eerie.

I looked around uneasily, lest a monster suddenly leap out of some of the grass and pounce on us. Luckily, I didn't really see the monster, but I saw another light.

"Wolf Fang! There! There's light there! ”

Bypassing the behemoth standing in the darkness, when the factory yard behind the building came into view, the light hidden by the building suddenly appeared, and the excitement of finding a companion made me excitedly point in the direction of the light to remind the wolf's fang. Although the wolf fang didn't answer, I could clearly feel the slow speed of the car suddenly increase, and I drove towards the light.

The car drove us close to the light, and when I got closer, I realized that it was not a light, but a roaring fire, and there were three other people sitting next to the fire—another gamer!
