Chapter 6: A Strange Place

Bing felt his body being stretched and kneaded like dough. His feet left the ground the moment they were enveloped by the phantom. Before the acid water could gush out of his throat, the world in front of him was bright again.

But this light obviously made him feel even more disgusted.

The world in front of him was completely indescribable, and Bing Shijue realized that his eyeballs were detached from his skull, soaked in viscous water, while his head was suspended in the air and constantly spinning in circles, and his body was clinging to the ground, as if it had been flattened.

"Hallucinations? Or is it a scene that could happen in the picnic area? Or what you might see when you enter the picnic area? Bing Shijue didn't even know where his nerves were, and he didn't know how he controlled the eyeballs in the water, the suspended head, and the flattened body.

But on the high platform of the square, Director Ren and Luo Rong nodded with satisfaction.

"That eighteen-year-old tester is probably too young." Luo Rong looked at the young man lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth, while the doctor on the side carefully carried him to the stretcher and transferred him to the next room, "I can't accept this stimulation for a while." ”

"The remaining three people didn't even faint." Director Ren glanced at the three people who were standing still, "It's a great quality to be able to stay calm even when neurotransmitters are directly affected. ”

"It has something to do with their personal experiences." Luo Rong flipped through the information and said softly.

"Keep going...... Oh? When Director Ren was about to leave, he found a young man in his twenties, with black hair and some emaciation, stepping forward.

Although this step was very unstable, the discomfort on his face disappeared when his foot touched the ground, and the second step was more grounded, stepping on the floor.

"Director Ren, I picked up two treasures this time." Luo Rong's face also showed a smile.

"Although I don't believe in luck, this time ......" Director Ren's calm eyes also began to fluctuate.

The third step taken by the young man is more stable, the fourth step is much easier, and the next step is even easier. In just a few minutes, he walked away from the translucent projection and opened his eyes naturally. I saw the surprised soldiers on the side, as well as Director Ren and Luo Rong who nodded in satisfaction in the distance.

“…… I did it. The young man quietly clenched his fists in the shadows, "I can live......"

"No. 824, Zeng Xing. My parents died during the picnic period, so I lived in an orphanage. Luo Rong handed the information to Director Ren, "But at that time, the model of orphanages in various countries was still relatively rough, and the funds were insufficient. He learns some manual work, and usually does manual labor. ”

"After the Black Tower and the protective film were built, his job was to clean the tower and carry some of it, and the balance was fantastic." Seeing this, Luo Rong sighed, "But four or five years ago, after robots began to become popular, his position was replaced. Now it's a matter of doing some part-time jobs in various places. ”

"Miserable child." Director Ren glanced at the information, "It says that he taught himself a lot of knowledge, but because he didn't have enough academic qualifications, he was rejected, right?" ”

"Yes, in our current era, there is no way to enter the company without a formal education. So come to us...... In fact, they are all people who have a relatively unsmooth life path. Luo Rong nodded, looking at the information of the other girl, "People born before 1999 are more or less affected physically, and there is no way to go to the picnic area to explore. And the children born after that were actually affected. ”

"Compared to this universe, we are too small." Director Ren nodded to the medical staff on the side, and asked them to check on Zeng Xing, who came out, "Just discover the picnic area technology, then build the black tower, and then open the protective cover." It took a full fifteen years. Too many children are affected......"

"So only children born in 2015 are the healthiest." Luo Rong sighed and closed the information in his hand, "The people before actually had a little hidden danger in their bodies. ”

"Let's wait for future generations to comment on historical matters." Director Ren began to pay attention to the girl who was swaying in the projection, but finally walked out, kneeling on the ground and panting, "It's a little slower to adapt, but it's not bad." ”

"This child is from the countryside, and he lived around the city during the great migration, unlike Zeng Xing, who worked at high altitudes, so this adaptability is relatively poor." Luo Rong nodded.

"But this young man you value, why is there something wrong?" Director Ren frowned and stared at Bing Shijue, who was motionless in the projection, "He didn't vomit either, and his heartbeat and blood pressure were normal, but he didn't come out." ”

"This ......" Luo Rong was also confused, if Bing Shijue was shocked in the immunoassay test before, then now it is even more confusing.

Not only Luo Rong and Director Ren who were standing on the high platform, but even the medical staff on the side, as well as the staff who controlled the computer in the distance, were also full of doubts.

"I remember that in the test, the maximum time that people could hold up was three minutes." Director Ren looked at Luo Rong.

"Yes."

"It's been two and a half minutes now...... Director Ren felt a little headache for a while, "what kind of person are you summoning for me?" ”

At this time, Bing Shijue didn't know that he had already begun to be discussed outside. After a few minutes of familiarization, he roughly summed up the logic of this strange world.

"It's the five senses that are directly affected." If someone can enter the virtual projection and see the world in front of Bing Shijue, they will definitely exclaim. Because he is completely detached from his body, he roams freely in this small world like a ghost, "In other words, the brain receives too much information in a moment and cannot process it, and this hallucinatory world is formed." ”

"Actually, it's like the camera perspective of some games." Bing Shijue could focus his gaze on the grass on the ground, and then rise into the sky, looking at the collapsed building. Or come to your own eyes soaked in viscous liquid.

"But it's still really uncomfortable." Bing Shijue struggled to shake his "head" in the sky. Even if he was able to focus on one thing, the constant flow of information in his head still gave him a headache. Just like when he looked at the grass, he could still feel the water in the distance and the falling off of the walls in his thoughts.

"If you want to move, you should be able to move as before." As soon as Bing Shijue's heart moved, his lower body took a step, "Sure enough...... It is an illusion caused by redundant information. ”

"No wonder my parents are still so weak after so many years...... When I was a kid, they were dizzy when they played those games, and now the picnic area is even more dizzying. ”

Thinking of this, Bing Shijue felt that there was nothing to be done in his heart, and he easily controlled his legs and trotted all the way. After about ten seconds, the world in front of me returned to its original state. Only the medical staff's eyes widened as they watched themselves easily escape from within.

In front of him, there was a young man resting on a stretcher, a pale-faced girl, and Luo Rong, who he had seen before, and a middle-aged man about fifty or sixty years old in front of him. Not only that, Bing Shijue heard the sound of squirming footsteps behind him.

“…… I didn't pass the test? Bing Shijue frowned, but looking at this, it was more like he had done something he shouldn't have done.

"All three of you have passed this test." Director Ren also noticed the crowd around him, and pointed to the room at the back, "Choose a room to live in at random, some daily necessities are guaranteed." You'll then have a three-day training session before heading out into the picnic area. ”

"Who are you?" Bing Shijue could feel a slight difference from the dispersal of the crowd around him as he spoke, and the obvious commanding tone in his words.

"I am the director of the Supervision Bureau, Ren Jianguo." Director Ren said, "Welcome to the Supervision Bureau in Yanjiang City. ”

"Monitor the picnic area?" The girl on the side asked.

"Yes, specific information, and what you're going to do next. Captain Luo will talk to you one by one. Director Ren patted Luo Rong on the shoulder, then turned around and walked towards the densely staffed computer department.

"There are a lot of important things." Luo Rong looked at the three young people in front of him, and couldn't help but think of the time when he joined the Supervision Bureau a few years ago, "You can now move freely in this square, or go back to your room to rest." Starting at seven o'clock in the evening, I will go to you. ”

"Do we need to do something...... replied timidly, the girl who stood up from the stretcher.

"There are some instructions in the room, you can go and see what's inside." Luo Rong said, "The specific training will start tomorrow. ”

"I have a question." Bing Shijue said, "Are the number of people in the Supervision Bureau so small? ”

"Yes." Luo Rong sighed, "You are also from here now, so I will tell you briefly." This time, only the three of you passed. ”

“…… That's a small number. The young man named Zeng Xing stretched out his finger and calculated in the air, "There are 663 cities in China, and ...... are selected once a year."

"From the establishment of the picnic area to the present, there are about 20,000 people." Bing Shijue quickly came up with an answer and let Zeng Xing's hand go.

"Yes, on the one hand, there is not enough production of immunological tests, and second, most of the materials are made into vaccines and vaccinated in newborn children." Luo Rong said, waving his hand at them, "But these basic information are on the booklet in the room, take a good look." Also take advantage of this time to take a good walk in the small square. ”

"Why?" The girl asked.

"Because once you enter the picnic area, what you experience will be several times, dozens of times more than in today's projection." Luo Rong said, "This small square is also the safest home after I come back." ”

"The mortality rate, is it high?" Zeng Xing looked at the dozens of rooms around him, and asked after a moment of silence.

“…… Yes. For the first time, Luo Rong's face showed a slight sadness, "In the past eight years, I am the only one who can go out in Yanjiang City."
