When he woke up, Lu Yun had a rare sleep without a dream.

When he stretched and got up from the sofa, Lu Yun found that it was already dark outside, the light of the Aether Tower had been extinguished, and the drifting area had entered its own night.

"Yo, you're awake."

Sitting in the position of the cannon is the young man who is bartending and building a tower with red matches.

"You said you had nothing to do with finding an anomaly to be your guide, causing me to work extra hours for no reason?"

Although he said that, there was no reproach in his tone.

“… Your name is Tianyu, thank you for helping me out of the siege just now. ”

"It's Cheng Tianyu."

He placed the last match on the top of the tower and stood up with a sense of accomplishment, looking at his work from various angles.

"Don't thank me, if you weren't for the old man's guest, I wouldn't bother to care, and if someone from the Aether Company really had an accident around here, this association probably wouldn't be able to open."

Cheng Tianyu didn't save any face for Lu Yun when he spoke, as if he was just solving a trouble that could be seen everywhere.

"You and Cheng Cannon... Is Uncle Cheng a relative? ”

Lu Yun was a little curious about the relationship between them, after all, they both had the surname Cheng, and they looked more like father and son than uncle and nephew.

"No, I was adopted by the old man."

Cheng Tianyu seemed to have had enough appreciation of his work, collapsed it nonchalantly, and neatly put away the scattered matches again.

This attitude of not caring about the fruits of his labor made Lu Yun stunned.

"Don't worry about other people's housework, the old man said that the people from the Aether Company have already arrived at your house, let me wake you up and go back early."

Lu Yun remembered the note that he left when he went out in the morning, saying that he would arrange someone to move within two days, originally he thought it would be tomorrow, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

"I've stuffed the road map back in your pocket, cherish it, you can buy that thing outside for at least 100, you are lucky this time, saying that it is to count this account on your boss's head."

"Also, you should know what to do when walking on the road at night, right?"

Lu Yun was a little surprised, although Cheng Tianyu looked very casual, he was not sloppy in his work.

"yes, I know."

Lu Yun stood up and felt that his state had recovered most of it.

Before going out, Lu Yun turned around and thanked Cheng Tianyu, who began to fiddle with his match again as if he hadn't heard.

Lu Yun didn't continue to talk, so he closed the door.

After all the things he has been through, he is finally on his way home.

……

The rafting area is much more noisy at night than the usual neighborhoods, and even more crowded than during the day.

In the buildings of various shapes along the street, the colorful aether lamps are turned on as if they don't need money, illuminating the otherwise dark streets even brighter than in the daytime.

The signboards of various shops are also lit up, making it feel as if life in the rafting area has officially begun when the Tower of Ether has been extinguished.

When Lu Yun came down from upstairs, the people who were drinking and chatting in the hall were busy, going back and forth on the commission board, sometimes a commission was just pasted, and the next second it was ripped off to accept it.

It is impossible to say that Lu Yun does not have a trace of curiosity and yearning for such a life, although he does not like to put himself in danger, but the people here make him feel more alive.

Born in the northernmost neighborhood, he has lived a step-by-step life under the management of the organization since he was a child, and the so-called excitement and unknown are far away from him.

Or rather, the excitement he has experienced since he met George yesterday has caught up with the sum of the past twenty years.

But Lu Yun doesn't accept everything, for example, in the alley he just passed, there was a group of people trading happy powder, which was something that Lu Yun would never try and touch in his life.

Following the route that Cheng Tianyu gave to Lu Yun, he quickly returned to the entrance of the drifting area and saw the road winding forward.

Lu Yun swallowed his saliva, although he hadn't seen the road at night, it was the first time he actually walked up.

The highway is not only the main road connecting the suburbs, but also the only road connecting the city and the suburbs, and even Zone Z(26) is not the end of the road, but extends all the way to the depths of the ruins that even the Aether Corporation has not fully explored.

Lu Yun stepped onto the road, feeling its solid and cold hardness, and couldn't help but shiver.

It's not that the nights in the suburbs are cold, since the Aether Corporation covered the sky over the residential area with a canopy, and the concept of the four seasons before the war has become blurred.

Lu Yun will be like this, mainly because of the 10 precautions for walking on the road at night issued by the ether company.

These precautions are okay if it is to prevent people from robbing on the side of the road, or how to avoid getting involved in battles between various forces, although the danger in the suburbs Lu Yun has not seen it a few times with his own eyes, he also has a concept.

But these precautions... How so, it's a little strange?

While walking on the left side of the road, Lu Yun recalled in his mind the 10 night highway precautions that he had heard from the Ether Company since he was a child:

1. Please do not walk in the middle of the road.

2. The buildings next to the highway are built in full accordance with the treaty we have made, and there are no hospitals or shops.

3. The pavement of the highway is black, and there are no forks.

4. It is normal for the street lights on both sides of the highway to turn off suddenly, please do not panic, our staff will complete the repair soon.

5. In the above situation, regardless of whether the street lights are back to light in a short period of time, please do not try to continue in the dark and wait for our staff to complete the repair.

6. The street lights on the side of the highway all use standard ether tubes, which will only emit light blue light, please keep in mind.

7. There will be no baby's cry on the side of the highway, please keep in mind.

8. No matter how urgent your business is, please do not walk on the highway for more than 2 hours in a row.

9. The highway is composed of asphalt, masonry, sand and synthetic resin, and the texture is hard and cold.

10. Please do not make noise on the road, and please do not violate any of the above precautions, if we receive a complaint, the field support staff will come and take you away.

Finally, Ethereum wishes you a pleasant night out.

Lu Yun even reviewed the last polite words word for word, but he still felt confused.

These precautions are essentially just a bunch of common sense, at most moral constraints like don't walk in the middle of the road and don't make noise, Lu Yun really doesn't understand why the Ether Company needs to be specially promulgated and informed to all residents.

However, for most people, since the Ethereum Company has been promulgated, it will be implemented, after all, the Ethereum Company does not need to harm itself, and it is not without benefits, at least there is a reason to make children dare not walk around at night.

And Lu Yun adheres to the principle that more things are better than less, and tries not to go to the road at night.

Therefore, this is the first time that Lu Yun has really walked on the road at night, and he hopes that he will not encounter anything strange.

And the reality was just as he wished, nothing strange happened along the way, and after one and a half hours, Lu Yun was already able to see the entrance of his own block.

Now this point in Lu Yun's impression should be the time for the neighbors to gag downstairs after dinner, but I don't know if they are still in the mood to do this after experiencing George.

Lu Yun subconsciously tidied up his clothes, although the muddy water on them was so big that it was completely impossible to hide it, he still didn't want his mother to see that he was injured.

After a few more minutes, Lu Yun finally came to the place where he had left during the day, downstairs of Building 3, No. 2 Street, District N (14).

Although only about 10 hours had passed, today's experience was too rich, and with another sleep, Lu Yun felt that time had actually passed a long, long time.

Still, in short, he got home.
