Above the city, another sleepless night ushered in.

When the residents in the city were wondering why the alarm went off before midnight, Su Xunzhi, Yan Fei and others had already gathered in the monitoring department, and even the small party from the logistics department also came.

In the hall where the monitoring device is located, non-headquarters personnel stop. Everyone stood in the corridor on the second floor enclosed by special glass, looking at the busy scene below, frowning slightly.

The ripples continued to flutter.

"Abnormal fluctuations."

……

"Abnormal fluctuations."

"No specific rules can be observed."

"Attention monitors, the first level plan will be opened below."

"Please prepare."

The monitors with special glasses looked at each other and stepped back. At the same time, several one-metre-square dark cabinets automatically open on the walls. In each of the secret cabinets, the necessary equipment is stored.

A metal jacket resembling body armor, a bracelet with countless wires attached, and black gloves. The gloves are very thin, and if you look closely, they look like they are made of countless tiny pieces of metal stitched together, and there are complex textures, which is very peculiar. When the bracelet is wrapped around the edge of the glove and the wire is attached to the metal jacket, all the lines glow blue.

Everyone pressed a button on their glasses one after another.

"In-depth monitoring starts now."

"Please be silent, everybody."

"Please be silent."

"Be silent."

In the space where the needle drop could be heard, all the monitors stepped forward again, in front of the huge monitoring device covered in black veil. This time, they no longer looked at it from a certain distance and looked with their eyes, but lifted the black veil and walked in, reaching out and touching it directly.

After only half a minute, one of the monitors took a step back and withdrew his hand.

He made a quick gesture behind him.

In the corridor on the second floor, Su Xunzhi squinted slightly. He looked at it for a while, and without staying any longer, he turned and left. Yan Fei quickly followed, asking as he walked, "Can you understand that gesture?" ”

Su Weizhi: "Broadcasting and monitoring are inseparable, and of course I can understand their gestures." I just don't think it's going to get any better if I wait any longer. ”

Yan Fei: "What do you mean?" ”

Su Weizhi: "The rules are vague and unpredictable, if you don't move your hands and feet, or you are affected by the changes in the cracks." There is only one hour at the moment of fluctuation, and there are 34 minutes left, and if I can't get accurate specific rules in these 34 minutes, then the gas phase forecast at zero o'clock today will open the skylight. ”

The two of them walked faster, and when they returned to the ground in the elevator, they also ran into Jing Ning of the countermeasures headquarters, that is, Wen Renjing's father. Jing Ning was about to go to the monitoring department, and when he saw Su Weizhi and Yan Fei, he hurriedly stopped.

"There are problems with monitoring in all cities, and the situation is not good." Jing Ning went straight to the point as soon as he spoke.

"If it's not just Shangcheng who has an accident, then the two possibilities you just mentioned are the latter." Yan Fei snorted. What is the latter? That is, the changes in the crevices affect the results of the monitoring.

Yan Fei didn't think that the bird had that strength, and at the same time he manipulated the monitoring devices of various cities. If he had this ability, humanity would have been doomed.

Su Weizhi also agrees with this view.

Jing Ning said in a deep voice: "I know. I've just let the patrol

All the members of the investigation department are dispatched, Team Yan, and I will ask you next. There is also Su anchor, if "Gas Phase Forecast" can't be launched on time, you know what to do, and it is very important to stabilize the morale of the army. ”

Su Weizhi: "Don't worry. ”

The three of them didn't talk nonsense, and after exchanging their respective messages in a hurry, they quickly separated and rushed to different battlefields. It's just that before parting, Yan Fei grabbed Su Xunzhi and said in a solemn tone: "Don't be alone, don't underestimate the enemy, you are the anchor of the gas phase, the façade of the gas phase bureau, and the spiritual sustenance of millions of people in the upper city, you can't have an accident." ”

Su Xunzhi looked back at Yan Fei, a consistent smile on his lips, "Yan Fei, no one knows the duties of the gas phase anchor better than me. ”

This is the first time Su Xunzhi has called Yan Fei's full name.

Yan Fei was silent for two seconds, "Be careful. ”

Su Weizhi: "Be careful. ”

Meanwhile, the orange-red town.

Inside the hotel, the new guests are getting nervous. The girl's name is Hu Jiajia, she is 16 years old and is still in high school. Except for this sudden fall into the gap, her life did not have much turbulence, occasionally encountered some strange rules in school, and would bump into the entrance and exit of the gap, but with the protection of the teachers and the help of the classmates, there was no big problem.

But here, the past experience doesn't seem to be useful. Suddenly, she realized what real danger was, what it meant that "school is an ivory tower."

She used to be in the tower, desperately trying to figure it out, but now she can't go back.

Two hours ago, she moved into this 108, and she thought she would be too scared to sleep, but exhaustion hit her, and she fell asleep in a groggy state.

But she didn't sleep long before she was woken up by the sound of the whistle and the rain.

Seeing the stormy and dark scene outside, Hu Jiajia was very scared. Where could she still sleep, so she hurriedly put on her clothes and shoes and went to find her companion Qu Gang, a muscular man with dyed pink hair.

But Hu Jiajia knocked on the door several times, but there was no response from inside the door. And at this moment, there was another sound of the door opening at the door of the hotel.

Qu Gang lives in 103, two steps to the living room, very close to the door. But who else will stay at this time? Could it be the unlucky ones who fell into the cracks like them?

Hu Jiajia instinctively sensed the danger and wanted to call Qu Gang to get up. But according to the rules told to them by the teenager named Xiaobai, it was best to lock the door when sleeping alone, so Qu Gang's door was locked, and she couldn't get in.

At this moment, the opposite door opened, and the man in the middle-aged couple poked his head out.

Hu Jiajia didn't trust him much, but he was relieved to see the familiar faces at this moment. She hurriedly gave him a look and whispered, "It seems that someone is here again." ”

The man also whispered, "You go and see."

Is it over? ”

Hu Jiajia shook her head.

The man said, "Why don't we stay in the room, it's safer to stay in the room than outside." ”

But Hu Jiajia is worried about Qu Gang, this person has been delayed in coming to the door, what if something happens?

"Qu Gang! Qu Gang! She whispered again, and just then there were footsteps from far and near from the living room. Like the sound of rubber shoes stepping on a wooden board, the speed of walking is not fast, but again and again, accompanied by the sound of thunderstorms outside, it is terrifying.

The opposite door is fast

Closed

Only a vague "go back" remained.

Hu Jiajia's heart is like a drum,

Before she could run, she saw the person who appeared at the entrance of the hallway. Obviously, the footsteps seemed to be a little far away, but she just appeared.

Looking at each other, Hu Jiajia took a step back in fright, and her face turned pale.

It was an old woman, wearing an orange-red turban, rubber shoes, and carrying a bamboo basket full of persimmons, and the rain was still dripping down her body. She turned her back to the light, and at first glance the face was hidden in the shadows, with only a little light in her cloudy eyes.

"Little girl, don't be afraid." She took a step forward, and she stepped into the light. The corners of his mouth were grinned, and his wrinkled skin was pulled to reveal a kind smile.

Kind but weird.

Hu Jiajia wanted to leave, but her feet seemed to have roots, and she was so stiff that she couldn't pull it out. She was so frightened that she watched the old woman get closer and closer to her, and finally, her nails pierced into her palms.

The momentary pain made her body finally react, and she took a sharp step back, staggering, trying to escape.

"What's wrong?" The old woman also took a step forward, and she whispered softly, as if the volume was a little louder, and as she spoke, she took out a persimmon from the basket and handed it forward, "Are you frightened by me?" Don't be afraid, I invite you to eat persimmons. ”

On the dry hand like a twig, he holds an orange-red persimmon. It is as if decay and vitality emerge at the same time.

How dare Hu Jiajia take it?

But she took a step back, and the old woman went further.

Time is being pulled, and a second seems like a century has passed.

Seeing that the old woman was about to walk in front of Hu Jiajia, she was so scared that she wanted to scream, but her throat was like cotton stuffed, even if she opened her mouth, she couldn't get anything.

What to do? How so?

Am I going to be killed?

Hu Jiajia was desperate for a while, and even flashed a marquee in her mind. She thought of her relatives at home, of her teachers and classmates at school, and of the words that she had felt ordinary since she was a child, even a little like shouting slogans.

[Human beings will never give in, the world will be created by me]

Can't she go back? No, she's not that timid, she shouldn't be.

Hu Jiajia gritted her teeth, and suddenly had courage in her heart, and her voice finally broke through her throat. With this last bit of courage, she struggled to pull away the old woman's hand.

At the same time as the persimmon rolled to the ground, the door of 103 suddenly opened. The old woman happened to walk to the door of 103, and with a "bang", the door that had been opened in a hurry slammed into her, knocking her away at once.

Qu Gang poked his head out in a hurry, "What's wrong?" What happened? ”

Hu Jiajia looked at the old woman who fell to the ground, and then at the persimmon that was rolling on the ground and was about to roll to her feet.

Qu Gang was even more confused than her, scratching his head, "What's wrong?" ”

Then the old woman on the ground moved, as if she were about to get up. Hu Jiajia was excited, and the whole person quickly came back to his senses, rushed to 103, almost with a bang, and brought Qu Gang in, "Close the door quickly!" ”

"Bang!" There was more than one sound of the door closing.

The man in the middle-aged couple, as well as Xiao Pingtou, quietly opened the door and watched,

Seeing this, he hurriedly closed the door.

On the other side, the recycling station.

Yan Yueming and the three of them explored all the small bungalows, and triggered two small rules, which are currently safe. But what is worrying is that the phone call has been delayed for a long time, and Li Zheng has not appeared.

"Don't think about it, let's look at this first. ()”

“SOS⒎()_[(()”

。

The second, third, and fourth banknotes appear here, and there are also words written on them, but this time there are more words, and more information is revealed.

[I'm in the clinic, save me]

[Don't trust anyone here]

【Don't come to the clinic】

Zhao Shen also worked hard to use his brain, "This person should be Xiaoyu, right?" He has money and is begging us for help, but he said after a while that he wanted us to go to the clinic to save him, and asked us not to go to the clinic, why? ”

Wen Renjing said in a deep voice: "Because the clinic must be dangerous." ”

Yan Yueming was very worried, he saw such a distress message, as an ordinary person with a conscience, he must want to save people. That's a human life.

But now that it's raining outside, and the clinic is so dangerous, how can he save it?

At this moment, the sound of "squeak" opening the door was heard.

The three of them glanced at each other, and when they heard the scene, they immediately ran to the door and looked out through the crack in the door. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, I was startled to see that a man in a red raincoat was pushing the door in, and behind him, there was a tricycle full of debris and covered with plastic sheeting at the moment.

Oops, the recycle bin staff is back.

Let's talk about whether you can save people or not, it's true to save yourself first. Fortunately, they had already found a hiding place in advance during the exploration just now, that is, a row of garbage cans piled up in the corner of the bungalow.

The paper left by Li Zheng said that if the staff came back, they could hide in the trash can first!
