Chapter 3 Grey Hall and Portal
The gray hall is the name that people give this place like a prison, because it is all gray wherever you see it. Apart from the gray floor, which is paved with countless one-meter-square floor tiles, and the gray walls and ceilings in the distance, there is nothing. It is also because of this that this is why there is such a name.
No one knows the origin of this gray hall. According to the United Government, after sleeping and waking up, they will arrive at the new home of mankind, the end of the Earth II project, and start the beautiful new life mentioned in the TV commercial.
But obviously, the situation did not follow the plan.
Now all of them are trapped in this gray hall and can't go anywhere. The fool knows that something happened to the original plan for all human immigration.
Otherwise, how can we explain that so many of them have been trapped here for more than a year?
In short, there are all kinds of things, but no one may know the truth because no one comes forward to explain.
Tang An stayed here for a year and five months, and was already so familiar that he could not be familiar with it anymore. When he opened his eyes and saw this familiar gray, Tang An knew that he was back.
Recalling the wonderful experience just now, Tang An seemed to be separated by a dream, but Tang An knew that it was not a dream.
There is no such real dream in this world.
At this time, Tang An discovered that the gray hall he was familiar with seemed a little different from before.
Under normal circumstances, people here would lie on the ground in a daze and pass the time, and they were dead, but now, people actually stood up, in groups of three or five, all looking towards the center of the hall, and some people hurried over.
It is also possible that because of this, Tang An suddenly appeared in an open space and no one noticed it.
Tang An also looked over and was stunned for a moment.
Just in the center of the gray hall, where it was originally an open space, a huge ‘door’ appeared.
The height of the door may exceed twenty meters, because you can see it hundreds of meters away. You should know that there was nothing in the gray hall before, and a door suddenly popped up would of course cause a commotion.
At this moment, many people are gathering there, and from a distance, it is already crowded.
There are about 20,000 people in this gray hall. Because some people have been bored this year and have done similar statistics, there are huge numbers of ‘0531-47’ written on the walls of the gray hall farther away. So some people have long speculated that this is not the only gray hall. The number should be the number. There should be many similar halls. After all, the number on Earth had exceeded 10 billion at that time, and it was not realistic to stuff them into the same gray hall.
Tang An also stood up at this time and walked towards the huge door.
People in the gray hall, both men and women, wore uniform gray clothes. Apart from the fact that they could not feel the colors or pain and hunger, there was no other feeling, such as desire.
Strictly speaking, they are just some data that is temporarily stored here, that's all.
"Tang An!"
A voice sounded from the side, and Tang An didn't have to look at who it was.
"Baoguang!" Tang An greeted.
Yang Baoguang.
Tang An’s friend, it was impossible for him to lie down in a daze for more than five months in the gray hall. By chance, Tang An met Yang Baoguang and then became friends.
Make friends, be destined to be together with chatting is enough.
Compared with Tang An, Yang Baoguang has a stronger physique, wide face and wide mouth, and a full of manly taste. Tang An has heard that the consciousness data in artificial space will collect the physical state at that time and simulate the data. In other words, their current appearance is when the earth was extracted from the consciousness data.
Yang Baoguang is over 1.88 meters tall, half a head taller than Tang An, and looks very imposing. However, unlike Tang An, Yang Baoguang has a wife and children and is also here. At this moment, Yang Baoguang's wife and seven-year-old son followed behind, looking nervous.
Obviously, they were more curious about the giant door that suddenly appeared in the gray hall.
"Uncle Tang!" Yang Baoguang's son Yang Xiaoyu was very polite. When he saw Tang An, he would always take the initiative to say hello. Tang An smiled and patted the boy's head. As for Yang Baoguang's wife, she was very virtuous. When he saw Tang An, he nodded politely and greeted him.
At this time, the front was full of people, and at this time, people were crowded. Although they were still a distance from the Giant Gate, they couldn't squeeze through. Tang An stopped, looked at the huge stone gate and asked, "Baoguang, how did this thing come out?"
Yang Baoguang was surprised: "You didn't see it just now?"
Tang An didn't see it just now because he wasn't here just now.
After making up a reason to make up, Yang Baoguang did not doubt it, and then explained: "This door suddenly appeared. There was nothing in the previous second, but it appeared in the next second. I was also surprised. You said, this was not the cause of the people from the coalition government, right?"
When it comes to the coalition government, the people in the gray hall are obviously not very good.
After all, they have been awake for so long and thought someone would come forward to explain the situation, but the coalition government has never appeared.
It's like, these people have been forgotten.
If it were anyone, there would be a sense of anger in my heart.
Tang An shook his head without comment. Today, he was one by one strange thing. First, he entered the Earth 2 spacecraft for no reason, and then was sent back for no reason. And during this time he left, such a huge stone door appeared in the gray hall.
Is this a coincidence?
"Let's go over and take a look." Tang An said, and Yang Baoguang nodded. Obviously he had this meaning.
At that moment, Yang Baoguang went over to say a few words to his wife and children, and then squeezed forward with Tang An.
Speaking of which, both Tang An and Yang Baoguang are not bad in size and physique, especially Yang Baoguang. When he stood in the crowd, he felt as if he was ahead of the crowd. With him as big as he was, Tang An and the others actually squeezed into the giant gate.
Tang An saw that the giant gate was full of stone and had exquisite reliefs on it. If you look closely, human civilization, including the art forms of the East and the West, can be seen on this stone gate, as if it were an excellent work of art. However, this door has no door panels and only a door frame, but a blue light curtain fills the door frame, like a huge blue vortex.
"This is a bit like the gate of time and space!" Someone next to me muttered.
“Where does this door lead to?”
"Who knows this? You said, is this the new home that the coalition government said, right?"
"It's possible, which bold one goes in and takes a look?"
"Several groups of people have entered just now, but they haven't come out yet. Will something happen..."
"What can happen? It's normal for no one to come back. If you can go out, who will go back to this broken place, just like his mother's prison. Anyway, I'm tired of being stunned. I plan to go and see and continue to stay here. I'm crazy!"
There were endless conversations around him. At this moment, a few people discussed it, walked out, and then entered the light curtain and disappeared without a trace.
Obviously, instead of being trapped in this gray hall and continuing to be a walking corpse, it is better to take a try. Maybe it is another world, and of course there are many people waiting and watching.
Some people made up their minds to come forward one after another, some were in groups of three or five, and some were single-handed. At this time, Yang Baoguang looked back and asked, "Tang An, what are your plans?"
Tang An glanced at Yang Baoguang: "You have a wife and children to take care of, don't take risks first. Since the situation is unclear, I'll go and see what the situation is. After all, we can't stay here all the time. Now there is a way out, so of course we have to go and see it."
After saying that, he was about to go forward. Yang Baoguang did not hesitate and followed up and said, "This may be the passage opened by the coalition government. We have been in this broken place for more than a year and it is time to go out. Let's go together. If there is no problem, I will come back to pick up my wife and children."
Tang An thought for a while and nodded.
He and Yang Baoguang approached the stone gate. At this moment, the blue vortex light curtain was right in front of him. You could vaguely see the scene opposite, but you couldn't see it clearly at all.
Tang An and Yang Baoguang looked at each other, and the former took a step forward.
Tang An’s idea was very simple. He took it first. If he encountered trouble, he would have time to return immediately, but the actual situation was completely different from what he thought.
The moment he touched the blue light curtain, his whole body was already sucked in, and then he was dizzy.
At this time, Tang An could only curse inwardly.
Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for a moment and disappeared. Looking back, Tang An found himself in a very dark place with a wooden floor, feeling a little shaking. After taking a breath, he could smell the moisture of the sea water, mixed with some fishy smell.
Tang An was surprised. You should know that in the gray hall, they couldn't smell anything. No matter how fragrant, smelly, it made Tang An feel that he had really left the artificial space and entered the "real world"?
At this moment, he heard a soft female voice.
"Information collection, number id: xxx, name: Tang An, source: Hall 0531-47, Pingmin District. Welcome to the plot world, the current location is plot world No. 16. Since it is your first time entering the plot world, you can choose whether to read the guide of a novice."
There is an option in front of you that appears at the same time as this sound.
One Yes, one No.
Tang An was stunned, the plot world?
