The snow in Asgar seems to be falling a lot heavier than usual on this day.

Wind and snow raged, permeating the entire mecha city.

But this did not affect the prosperity of this place in the slightest, and the 200,000 people who temporarily obtained the right to live here strolled through the streets and alleys of the city, enjoying the infinite scenery of Mecha City.

The city has a good geothermal system, and although there is still goose feather snow in the sky, pedestrians do not feel the cold at all.

The little girl was wearing a black dress and bouncing around in the crowd.

There was a happy smile on her face, it was a smile that was sweet to the extreme, and passers-by looked curiously at the little girl, who looked like she was only about eight or nine years old, wandering alone in the crowd, and her expression kept this sweet smile all the time.

Bai Qi and Yun Meng walked the streets in Mecha City together, and yesterday they completed four of the top 16 matches, with a day break in between, and the match between him and Yun Meng will be held tomorrow.

"If this had been put in the past, in this kind of weather, I'm afraid I would have to wear a lot of clothes." Bai Qi said, because of the excellent performance of the geothermal system, the temperature in the mecha city can always be kept at a distance of about ten degrees, which is much warmer than the temperature of minus dozens of degrees in Ascalifornia outside the mecha city, which makes people who temporarily live here only need to wear clothes and cotton jackets in the autumn and winter in the subtropical region, and even people with better physical fitness such as Bai Qi only wear a thin coat outside.

Yunmeng nodded. "It's still different now, after all."

"It's really different, it's just that it's only been a few hundred years, and the outside has developed to such a level." Bai Qi remembered that when he was studying human history, five or six hundred years ago, the whole world was still in the era of cold weapons, there was no connection between continents, and people knew little about the world, until the rise of the industrial revolution later, and human beings moved towards the glory of civilization in technological innovation again and again.

"That's what we're capable of." Yunmeng said. Human civilization, since the Industrial Revolution, is roughly divided into several large and small stages, and in the general perception of people now, from the era after the emergence of the black body, it means that human society has entered a new stage, it is undeniable that the black body has brought great fear and suspicion to human beings, but the mecha created by the Chinese scientist Chen Tian has really made mankind enter a new era.

"Yes, it's just that the days of real comfort are far from over, I have always hated war before, and I didn't expect that I would be involved in this one day, and this is still a war about the survival of mankind." Bai Qi shook his head and sighed.

"Doesn't it feel like this feeling is very subtle, obviously in a new stage of glorious ascent, but it is accompanied by a protracted war related to the peril of mankind." Yun Meng said with a smile.

"I remember that the ancients had such a saying, misfortune and fortune rely on, and blessing and misfortune lurk. That's probably how it looks. Bai Qi suddenly noticed the girl bouncing in the crowd not far ahead.

"Hey, look, that kid." Bai Qi pointed to the girl who was bouncing in the crowd and said to Yun Meng.

The girl had been wandering through the crowd, and no one seemed to be following her.

"Is she alone?" Yun Meng was a little puzzled, the flow of people in Mecha City every day was huge, and basically few parents would rest assured that their children would go out to play alone in Mecha City, because it was very likely that they would accidentally get lost.

"Did you get lost with your parents?"

"It's possible, this kid himself may not know it." Yun Meng said, stepped forward, leaned down, and looked at the little girl.

Looking at each other, Yun Meng suddenly felt as if something was touching her heart, and she probably didn't pay attention when she looked at it from a distance just now, the pupil of the girl's right eye turned out to be a dazzling golden yellow, while her left eye was as black as a normal person.

"Little friend," Yun Meng lowered his tone, "where are your parents?" ”

The girl stopped, and she looked at Yunmeng standing in front of her.

Tilting his head, he didn't speak for a long time.

Yun Meng looked at the little girl, the girl's face was just smiling all the time, there was no extra expression, she was worried about whether her sudden accosting scared the little girl.

A gust of wind blew, and Yun Meng suddenly shivered.

When I looked back, the girl was gone.

"Hey, where's that kid just now?" Yun Meng turned around and asked Bai Qi.

The world around seemed to fall silent all of a sudden, and the large clock on the bell tower not far away made the clicking sound of the hands turning.

What about white rising? Didn't you just stand behind her? Yun Meng sensed that something was wrong, and she hurriedly searched for Bai Qi's figure in the crowd.

Empty, accompanied by a constant stream of people.

The crowd came and went, Yunmeng suddenly felt that she was isolated by everyone here, the crowd walked back and forth, and in a radius of about one meter in the center of Yunmeng, only she stood alone, and people seemed to consciously empty this area.

Yun Meng's doubts in his heart were even worse.

Occasionally, you can still look at a passerby or two, but it is a kind of hollow, without the slightest hint of spirit, and there is no anger in it, only to make people feel that it is a living walking corpse.

At that moment, his vision suddenly began to sway a little, and Yun Meng felt that his head was a little dizzy.

The crowd began to blur and the figure was no longer clear.

But Yun Meng could clearly feel that her consciousness was still awake, she tried to move her steps, her body was normal, she walked to a person and stretched out her hand.

The cold touch made Yun Meng shiver, and the snow seemed to be falling heavier, obviously it was a mecha city with a geothermal system, but at this moment it didn't feel the slightest warmth, and the cold replaced all this.

The figure of the person who was touched disappeared all at once, as if it were sand, and after being blown by the wind, it turned into dust, and the shaking figure became ethereal at that moment.

A strange black mist began to emanate from the ground, slowly spreading among the crowd, Yun Meng only felt that this black mist was very familiar, but he couldn't tell what it was, he just vaguely felt that it seemed to be a bad substance.

She saw the black mist spread through the crowd, gradually wrapping around everyone's body.

As if it were a living and conscious thing, the black mist suddenly dispersed and became all sorts of things, like a puppy, or like a snake, or like a falcon, and began to hover over people's heads, around people's necks, around their chests.

In the haze, I seemed to hear something laughing, and it was a long laugh, as if with a hint of pathos, and as if with a hint of sadness and indignation.

The black mist slowly eroded into people's bodies, and at that moment, Yun Meng suddenly saw that the eyes of the people around him had turned into a cloudy dark gray.

A long, deep roar was heard in the distance.

Yun Meng suddenly remembered that this was the voice she and Bai Qi had heard outside Mecha City that day, and that familiar feeling of fear and uneasiness seemed to be about to swallow her in an instant.

The next second consciousness fell into darkness.

When I woke up again, I was already in my room.

The first thing I saw was Bai Qi sitting on the edge of her bed.

"You're awake." Bai Qi saw Yun Meng wake up and let out a long breath.

Yun Meng looked around, she couldn't keep up with her thinking for a while, it turned out that she wasn't somewhere in Mecha City with Bai Qi.

She remembered that she seemed to have seen a girl dressed in black, and the pupil of her right eye showed a strange golden color before she finally lost consciousness.

"You were fine one second, but you fainted the next, it really scared me."

"What about the girl?" Yun Meng's consciousness was still a little vague, and she asked Bai Qi.

Bai Qi was stunned for a moment. "Later, I didn't pay attention, didn't you go to her and ask her something at first, and then suddenly fainted, I was nervous at the time, so I didn't pay attention to the child, probably I went back by myself."

"Oh." Yun Meng nodded, she finally remembered the state of confusion she had for a while after meeting the girl.

Is it just a nightmare? Yun Meng felt very strange in his heart.

"The doctor said there was nothing wrong with you, maybe you were just too tired lately." Bai Qi also felt that the doctor's diagnosis was puzzling, after all, Yunmeng had not participated in the top 16 recently, and he had been in a state of rest.

"Have you been thinking about something lately?" He asked cautiously.

Yun Meng shook his head. "No, I don't have anything to think about lately." She thought about it and still didn't tell Bai Qi what she saw before her consciousness disappeared, thinking in her heart that she was probably just too nervous.

"Have a good rest, I don't know if you will affect tomorrow's game like this," Bai Qi said, "You are divided into tomorrow's third game, which is in my previous game." ”

"By the way, Dr. Chen Tian took advantage of the period when we didn't use the mecha this time, and further adjusted and improved the performance of the mecha, it seems that there is more ability in the field, I haven't used it yet, and I don't know how the effect is, your opponent tomorrow is a mecha controller from Germany, what is the name of the 、、、, I can't remember clearly, it shouldn't be very strong, the director checked his battle information, and the infection situation in Germany is relatively good, so he is basically only responsible for the security and stability of that area of Germany."

"When the time comes, you can familiarize yourself with the new abilities of the mecha during the competition, and maybe it will help you in the next game." Bai Qi said, got up and was about to leave, "Then I'll go first, you have a good rest." ”

The door to the room was gently shut, and Yun Meng lay down, looking at the ceiling.

Was it a dream?
