In the dream, there is still the tumbling sea of clouds, and the cries for help from the junior brother.

Eventually, these images become an overwhelming array of birds and fusiforms erupting.

Jiang Ze woke up, turned over and sat up.

On his forehead was a fine sheet of sweat.

The images left in his mind couldn't help but make Jiang Ze a little frightened.

The junior brother is not here.

Here... Nor is it the Great Yi Kingdom.

Jiang Ze looked out the window.

The street outside was narrow and cramped, and it was being dyed in a riot of colors by the flickering lights on both sides.

Both sides of the street.

The steel boxes were stacked on top of each other, and the circular openings in the boxes glowed orange.

From a distance, the towers staggered and disappeared into the darkness, leaving only indistinct clusters of orange.

You don't feel the flow of vitality here, it's just a stale and dirty breath.

For Jiang Ze, it was an unbearable taste.

There was a rustling sound.

The door was opened by Wen Yihe, and then his nervous call came.

"Jiang Ze, I heard that there are a lot of surface city peacekeepers in the dungeon, and when they see people, they scan the identification code, as if they are looking for someone, and there are many drones patrolling the streets!"

Seeing Jiang Ze staring blankly at the window, Wen Yihe said cautiously, "Could they be here to arrest you?" ”

Jiang Ze's muscles in his whole body tensed instantly, and his two fists clenched.

The meridians in the body are still dry and lifeless.

Without vitality, you will have no resistance.

"I can't feel the vitality here, I'm going out to find the vitality!"

Jiang Ze jumped out of bed and walked towards the door.

Wen Yihe was taken aback.

"That's not going to work! You don't have an identification code, what if you get touched by the peacekeepers! ”

"Besides, although this underground Skynet is not ubiquitous, it is not a blind person, you don't have an identification code, and you will be discovered by Skynet if you don't go far... Ah, I see, there's someone who can help you! ”

Wen Yihe exclaimed, "We can go to Lao Xu, Lao Xu must have a way!" Let's go, we'll go now! ”

Without waiting for Jiang Ze to react, Wen Yihe ran over, grabbed Jiang Ze, and opened the door to go out.

When he walked to the door, he remembered something, ran to the house and found a black cap for Jiang Ze to put on.

After circling Jiang Ze twice, Wen Yihe stood on tiptoe and reached out to press the brim of his hat, covering Jiang Ze's face.

As soon as the two of them went down to the first floor, they saw drones whizzing by outside the door.

Jiang Ze's heart tightened, and he retracted his body and hid himself in the darkness of the corridor.

Wen Yihe poked his head out and observed for a while, gestured to Jiang Ze, turned around and returned to his residence, and took the flatbed truck down.

"Jiang Ze, did you get into your pocket? So that the drone can't see you! ”

···

It was still early in the morning, and there was no one on the street.

Wen Yihe pulled the flatbed truck, carefully dodging the drones in the sky, and also tried to avoid the cameras connected to Skynet.

"Hey! What for?! "A man with a loaded gun came up.

Wen was so frightened that he almost fell, and he was a little relieved to see that the person who came over was a patrol officer of the underground guard.

"Pick up, pick up garbage..." Wen Yihe's voice trembled a little.

The man walked slowly, staring at the flatbed twice, "What's on this?" ”

With that, the weapon in his hand is to pick up the rope tied to his pocket.

"Pull, garbage..."

The man frowned, retracted his weapon, and slapped his nose and mouth with his hand.

It was as if something was really smelling.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Wen Yihe was like being amnestied, and pulled the flatbed truck into the alley.

"This is Belt Street, and most of this street sells natural food smuggled from the surface, but some gangs will also sell some spiritual goods here!"

Wen Yihe pulled the flatbed truck and found an entrance between the two shops.

There are two stairs at the entrance.

Wen Yihe cautiously parked the flatbed truck at the door, opened the bag and released Jiang Ze.

The two of them descended the staircase to the basement.

There is only one door in the empty basement.

Outside the door was a rusty iron net, and inside the door hung a curtain full of dirt.

Next to it is a sign that reads "Ten Thousand Repair House", and the sign flashes with red light.

"This is it, Lao Xu, Xu Ren. He has lived here alone for more than ten years, and his craftsmanship is good in this neighborhood, he can repair any electronic equipment, and sometimes he collects some rare things from the garbage heap! ”

Wen Yihe reached into the barbed wire fence and knocked tentatively twice.

Seeing that no one answered, Wen Yihe increased his strength, knock knock, knock knock!

A knock on the door woke the upstairs dog, and soon there was a vicious roar.

After a while, there was a sound of wind chimes in the door.

Then a hole opened in the door, and one eye was exposed, "Who?!" ”

"I, Wen Yihe"

"Get out!"

The hole in the door snapped shut again.

"Lao Xu, Lao Xu, I have something to do with you, you open the door!"

Seeing that there was no movement inside, Wen Yihe gritted his teeth and said.

"I picked up a few paper books, you do me a favor, I'll give you the books!"

"Hula!"

There was a sound of latches in the door.

Soon the door was opened by the people inside.

Through the barbed wire, Jiang Ze saw a short and fat middle-aged man.

He has greasy, gray hair and a blue stubble.

Barebacked, wearing black shorts, and stepping on bright red slippers.

Lao Xu said impatiently.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" As he spoke, he shoved a cigarette into his mouth.

Wen Yihe looked around, then pointed to the iron net.

"You let us in first!"

Lao Xu snorted, stretched out his hand and groped into the house, and the iron net rustled up.

The house was a mess, with stuff piled up everywhere and the floor covered in dust and grease.

Jiang Ze resisted the urge to escape, and followed Wen Yihe cautiously inside.

Squeaky sticky shoes where you land.

"There's no one else in this room, right?" Wen Yihe looked around.

Lao Xu said unhappily, "How can there be any other person, sneaky, say something!" ”

As he spoke, he noticed the man whose face was hidden in his hat.

"Who is this, Surface Man?!"

Wen Yihe was startled, and quickly reached out and put it to his mouth.

"Shhhh Don't be so loud, he was just born so tall, not a surface person, oops, you don't care about this, Jiang Ze he doesn't have an identification code, you make one for him! ”

Wen Yihe looked at Lao Xu expectantly.

Lao Xu looked at Wen Yihe like a hindrance.

"Make one? If I could do this, would I still be in this kind of place? ”

Wen Yihe's excited face suddenly collapsed.

"Lao Xu, you want to find a way!"

Lao Xu said unhappily, "This identification code is one person and one code, and the signal sent by each movement is also generated by a unique encryption algorithm, which can only be identified by Skynet." ”

"If someone is born, the system will randomly generate a code, even Skynet, it can't conjure one out of thin air!"

Speaking of this, Lao Xu smiled angrily, "Wen Yihe, did you wake me up this morning to tease me?" ”

"Jiang Ze really needs an identification code, he can't go out without a code, he wants to find his way back!" Wen Yihe said urgently.

"There's no code, or it's a black household who hasn't gone out for a decade or two, or it's not a person from this world! The former is unlikely, the latter is too, so, who are you? ”

Lao Xu looked at Jiang Ze carefully.

I saw that Jiang Ze, who was more than 1.8 meters tall, was wearing an extremely tight shirt, and it could be seen that it was Wen Yihe's clothes.

He wears a black cap with a low brim that covers most of his face.

The long black hair behind the hat was about to reach his waist.

Suddenly, Lao Xu's face suddenly changed.

"You, you, you're the one on the surface yesterday!"

Wen Yihe was startled, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and put it to his mouth, "Shhh He's..."

Lao Xu quickly took two steps back, so that he could be farther away from Jiang Ze, "Get out, you guys get out quickly!" ”

Wen Yihe hurriedly said, "Lao Xu, you help him!" ”

Lao Xu arched his waist and looked defensive, "Get out!" If I don't go out again, I'm going to call the underground guards! ”

Jiang Ze did not respond to Lao Xu's vigilance, but looked in one direction of the room.

There was a door there, and there was a strange life feature in the door.

Or the sound of breathing without life.

Lao Xu said that there was no one else in the house, but there was clearly a person in a strange state, and if there was no secret or greasy in it, he would never believe it.

I don't know if this can be an opportunity for Lao Xu to help him, but it seems that there is no other choice.

"There's one more person in this room!?" , Jiang Ze said suddenly.

Lao Xu was startled, and his eyes narrowed.

"How do you know?"

Jiang Ze radiated his consciousness and quietly felt the breath, "I heard it, but he doesn't seem to be there!" ”

Lao Xu's mouth opened wide when he heard this, and the cigarette also fell.

"You, who the hell are you?"

Jiang Ze ignored Lao Xu's questioning, turned around and walked towards the door, and in Lao Xu's stunned effort, he had already unscrewed the handle.

The room was cleaned up, as if it was another world.

In the middle of the room was a bed with a boy lying on it.

The boy was dressed in clean clothes, his eyes were tightly closed, and some transparent pipes were stuffed in his mouth and nose.

Pipes are connected to some machines.

As the boy breathed in, the machines made a dripping sound.

"Don't go in!"

Lao Xu shouted violently, rushed over and grabbed Jiang Ze and pulled hard, trying to keep Jiang Ze away from this room.

Jiang Ze turned his head and looked at Lao Xu quietly.

"He's gone!"

Lao Xu's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was terrifying.

"You let me out, my son is fine!" Lao Xi roared and thumped at Jiang Ze's chest.

"You know what I'm talking about..." Jiang Ze's heart softened, thinking of his younger brother who was sick.

"Although he is gone, his body should still be in pain..."

Lao Xu gradually stopped the movements in his hand, and sat on the ground crying silently.

"His name is Xu Lai, and he was diagnosed with brain cancer when he was eight years old... To cure this disease, it will take 3 million. I borrowed money everywhere but couldn't, I got three jobs at the same time, and I picked up garbage everywhere to sell, but it was still not enough! ”

"Watching Xu Lai weaken day by day, I'm really going crazy! The money I make every day is not enough to buy Xu Lai's medicine for a day! ”

"So I made my own medicine, I bought e-books on genetic science from the black market, bought drugs for experiments, I studied day and night, and I did experiments day and night. For three years, I had to tell Xu Lai every day that when you were well, Dad would take you to the surface to have a look, but just when I was about to succeed, I found that Xu Lai's brain had died!! ”

Speaking of this, Lao Xu got up and rushed into the house, pushing the whole row of bottles and cans on the shelves against the wall to the ground.

"I can't accept Xu Lai's death, every day I think he can come back to life, tell me, Dad, when will you take me to the surface to see?"

smooth floors.

Red, blue, and blue liquids flowed between the shards of transparent glass.

Lao Xu knelt on the glass shards and roared hoarsely.

"This kind of medicine only costs 30,000 yuan in the local !!, but it costs 3 million yuan in this dungeon."

"Why do the people in the dungeon live so humbly and hard, but the people on the surface can live so comfortably and decently, why?!"

Wen Yihe stood at the door, his eyes were red, and he kept rubbing his eyes.

Long.

Jiang Ze walked over to look at the sleeping boy, and suddenly said, "Give me his yard, and I'll take him to the surface to see!" ”

Lao Xu was stunned and raised his head.

Blood-red eyes began to glow with a strange glow.

Jiang Ze nodded and said, "Give me that thing, you can do it!" ”

Lao Xu lowered his head and thought for a while.

"No, the identification code continuously measures the body's blood pressure, blood sugar, blood oxygen content, and if the data features suddenly don't match, Skynet will notice!"

Jiang Ze smiled slightly, and two shallow dimples appeared on his cheeks.

"It doesn't matter, the Dao method I cultivate is good at controlling the body, as long as it's in the body, I can control it!"

···

Inside the dump.

The three of them walked quietly in the gap between the mountains of garbage.

Jiang Ze and Wen Yihe followed behind, and Lao Xu pulled the flatbed truck in front.

There was a large bag on the flatbed.

Lao Xu suddenly spoke, "Xu Lai's mother's name is Jiang Feng, she is a surface person, but she doesn't know what mistake she made, and she was driven down by the people above."

"Jiang Feng said that there is river water on the surface of the earth, and there is a harmonious wind, so she is called Jiang Feng. After we gave birth to this child, she gave the child this name, called Xu Lai, Jiang Feng Xu Lai is not very good? ”

Speaking of which, Lao Xu's stubble-covered face glowed with a moving luster.

The three of them walked all the way to the garbage incinerator in the deepest part of the dump.

The garbage here has been cleaned up for a long time, and no one comes on weekdays.

Unattended machinery places piles of garbage onto huge conveyor belts.

Conveyor belts transport the waste to a huge incinerator.

Lao Xu took Xu Lai out of his pocket and put him on the flatbed to tidy up his appearance.

He stretched out his hand and stroked Xu Lai's white cheeks, and bent down to kiss his forehead, which was still warm.

The conveyor belt carried Xu Lai's body to the incinerator little by little.

It wasn't until the body was thrown into the huge opening of the incinerator that Lao Xu opened his mouth and said softly, "Xu Lai, we'll see you in the next life, and you will be a father in the next life..."

Wen Yihe rubbed his red eyes and kept shedding tears.

Jiang Ze stretched out his wrist, looked at the I-shaped knife edge on his wrist, and then looked up at the dark sky overhead.

There is the surface, the place where you appear in this world.

It's also a place to go home.

Xu Lai, I'll take you to the surface first, and then I'll find my way back!

Brother, you wait, I'll be back soon!
