The clean streets disappeared, replaced by overgrown weeds and a dilapidated scene like a country road.
The three-story Dabieye also lost its disguise and turned into an above-ground shelter building that appeared to be only two stories from the outside.
Even those three-layer iron fence sets that Somo thought were very strong now turned into ordinary rusty iron, which seemed to be weathered at the touch of a touch.
Near Ma Fei's high-rise building, there are thick white bones falling on the ground. After a brief inspection, you can find that these are the corpses of the mutated creatures that broke into Doudou the Tibetan Mastiff's mouth.
but
Back outside again, the town is still clean, the paths are still spotless, and even the street lights on the roadside are full of metallic beauty.
There are still scarab carcasses on the ground inside the manor. If you look closely, you can still see the mouthparts of the scarab being blown by the wind and swaying slightly after death.
"What kind of technology is this? Does it directly deceive perception?"
The big difference between the inside and outside world is like a wonderful technology that builds a virtual world.
For a modern person who has experienced virtual world propaganda, Somo is full of curiosity.
After looking around at the most obvious buildings nearby, Sumo raised the muzzle of his gun uncertainly and fired two shots at the street lamp.
Bang bang!
The sound of metal colliding was definitely true, but as expected, there were no bullet holes in the street lamp, and the bullets seemed to have disappeared.
When we retreated to the courtyard, we could clearly see two clearly visible bullet holes in the street lamp, going deep into them.
Ma Fei's courtyard is like a magic mirror, dividing the outside world from the inside world.
The outside is a beauty reserved for sober people.
Inside is the cruelty reserved for those who are realistic.
If you live here for a long time and your mind is not firm, you will probably go crazy in a matter of minutes.
Picking up two scarabs that looked intimidating outside, Somo couldn't help but chuckle.
"I asked why there is no reaction when a bullet hits an object like this. Instead, fire does the job."
"Now it seems that the fire has blocked my sight, so naturally I can't simulate a coherent picture!"
Every little mechanical man was riddled with holes from 7.62 bullets.
In their hands, Sumo saw familiar miniature saws, miniature cutting knives, and even miniature welders.
Regardless of these, you can also see some miniature circuit boards in the heads of all robots, just like PUs, which should be the core components of the villain.
Compared with fighting, these villains are more like a group of "tool men" who specialize in manufacturing.
It's really a waste of time to use it for fighting.
"It's not like those mysterious items were made by these little guys!"
The current core ownership is still Ma Fei, the game panel cannot detect it, and the system cannot take effect.
Just like in Magu's shelter, this point was actually very obvious when he first entered, but was inadvertently ignored by Soma.
Of course, from the beginning to the end, no one around the world would have thought that the ruins they entered were just the core of the refuge for the bosses.
Without rushing into the house, Sumo greeted Moore carefully first, took out the big bag that he had prepared long ago, and put all the damaged but not very serious robots inside first.
As for those who had chips in their heads blown out by stray bullets, they were piled aside first.
After discovering the high price of a robot that required one day of work, Sumo once again picked out the five most complete ones, and also removed some spare parts and put them into the storage space.
"If these small robots can be repaired and re-written with instructions when they go out, then my big ship will have no shortage of maintenance workers!"
Standing up, Sumo nodded with satisfaction. After seeing that the time consumed so far was only seven days, which was completely within the acceptable range, he strode towards this simple small building.
Collapse often starts from the core and spreads outward.
On weekdays, this place may be no different from the outside.
Even to people outside, it looks like a more luxurious manor.
But now that the energy was insufficient, Moore easily opened the door on the first floor with a slight bump, revealing the dark inside.
"Next time you explore, you must get a toy car. Otherwise, it will be too dangerous to just rely on people to explore!"
Taking out the flashlight and trying to shine the light inside to check the structure on the inside, Somo felt relieved for the time being.
One is that there are Oreo warnings, which can directly avoid some triggering dangers.
Secondly, the disadvantage on the technological side is that after losing the energy supply, most of the back-up weapons have no use at all.
Thirdly, as an established town, Ma Fei would not turn this place into a military base that should be kept away from strangers.
Based on the degree of weathering of the most severe parts of the furniture inside, Wei Wei can determine the number of years it took for the shelter to be empty.
"Fifty years up, no more than a hundred years, they should be different from Magu!"
The luxurious and gorgeous carpet is now like sawdust, turning into floating ash at the slightest touch, constantly flying up and down in the light of the flashlight.
The threshold at the entrance was also stained with rust, and it broke apart with a slight crack.
Although there was a high probability that there would be no danger inside, after looking around and seeing the Tibetan Mastiff Doudou at the door, Sumo waved to him and called him over.
"You, it's you, come here!"
People are afraid of weapon attacks, but they are not afraid of fog creatures. At worst, if they are injured, they can just recover where they are.
The mist characteristics of this creature make it undoubtedly the best scout.
Summoned by Somo, this timid Tibetan Mastiff was startled as soon as it entered the manor, and then couldn't help but sigh.
"Wow, that's amazing. Does it turn out that the mayor always lives in such a terrible house?"
But before Silly Gou could continue to think deeply about how honest Ma Fei was, under the guidance of Sumo, Doudou turned his head and suddenly saw the scene outside.
Bang!
Stab!
Visible to the naked eye, Doudou is not moving (not a still picture).
Immediately, in Sumo's sight, the Tibetan Mastiff Doudou seemed to be crazy, running back and forth in and out of the door, as if he didn't believe what he saw.
In these movements, Sumo heard
Heartbreaking sound!
If you want to destroy a person, just like in The Truman Show, prove to him that the world you live in is completely fake and virtual!
Under the visual impact, Doudou the Tibetan Mastiff broke his guard!
Two different worlds make it impossible to believe which one is true and which one is false.
But his heart told him that what Somo said seemed to be the truth.
"Is it not that they abandoned us, but that this town abandoned all humans?"
Hearing Doudou's murmuring voice, Sumo was immediately startled, and instantly thought of a conclusion that seemed to perfectly explain all his previous guesses.
Yes, why do residents want to evacuate!
Why did everyone leave in such a hurry, as if they were being taken away by force!
Did Ma Fei die first? A certain mechanism was triggered. All the people in the town knew that they would die if they stayed, so they chose to evacuate?
"No, where did the scene I saw outside the barrier come from? Is it also virtual?"
There is not a single written description left in the entire town.
If you want to deduce the truth of the matter, you can only pick out the small details one by one, which extremely tests one's logical ability.
After thinking for a while again and looking inside the deep room, Somo took two steps forward, picked up the Tibetan Mastiff's wreath, and dragged it to the door.
"All the secrets you want to know are inside. If you can't die, help us go in first to see if there is any danger!"
After hearing Sumo's words, Doudou, who was in a state of shock, did not resist and walked in as if he had lost his soul.
Using a flashlight, he directed Doudou to walk around the first floor. After finding that no mechanism was touched, Sumo followed in with confidence.
There are not many things inside the first floor, because it has been blown by the wind for a long time, and the door has lost energy and is not closed tightly, causing severe weathering.
The soft sofa shattered into foam at the slightest touch, and some brittle iron frames would break and smash to the ground as soon as they were touched.
But these are not the reasons that attracted Sumo's focus.
There is a book on the stone coffee table not far away.
A book whose surface has lost its color but is still "healthy".
Like deadly poison, Somo could not help but walk over after seeing the familiar Chinese characters on the book cover from afar.
"The mayor's manual of Tianxi Liangfang Town in Yanguo?"
"Revised in May of the fourth year of the new calendar at the end of the world"
The cover of the book was the most severely worn by the wind, but through only a few large characters, Sumo could clearly see what was written.
"Isn't it really on earth?"
After receiving this exact news, Sumo was instantly pleasantly surprised, and the pressure on his shoulders suddenly disappeared a lot.
If the place where this ruins is located is really a parallel world of Earth, that would be terrible.
But if another human community is established in the wasteland, that is not only exciting news, but it may even contain some little secrets from the future.
With these secrets and the experience of his predecessors, Soma can see the real "future" in advance.
"Hey, the Ma family are all good people. There is Ma Gu in the front and Ma Fei in the back!"
"It's so sad, Ma Fei, such a good person is gone!"
Compared with high-tech items, the value of books is even more precious in this apocalyptic world.
Especially for a late comer like Sumo, even if he is given a tank in exchange for it, it will be a loss!
"Moore, guard the gate, Oreo, guard any opening where something might come in!"
Say hello and find an angle from which you can look outside.
Holding the flashlight, Sumo squatted directly on the ground, carefully took out two plastic bags and carried them in his hands, and opened the first page of the thick mayor's manual.
As the old saying goes, paper has a lifespan of a thousand years.
Ancient books printed using ancient Chinese papermaking techniques can be preserved intact for thousands of years under normal conditions. Even with modern innovative technologies, using machine pulping and uniform fibers, the average life of the paper is between 100-300 years.
Therefore, except for the very damaged cover, the text inside was similar to that of Magu's diary, and gradually became clearer.
"Let me see, should this first one be the manual number? Or is it some other code I don't know?"
From top to bottom, Sumo didn't recognize the letters and numbers in the first row, so he could only start with the Chinese characters.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, as soon as you look at Sumo, there will be a smile on his face.
Yes! This is really another fellow from a parallel earth!
"The People's RepubliofYh (the People's RepubliofYh), referred to as "Yan Country", was established on June 1st of the last year of the New Year, located in the eastern part of the New World and the west coast of the ocean."
"The country of Yan has a population of 1.1 million people and a land area of 3.5 million square kilometers. Radiating from the center to the surrounding areas, the country is divided into six provinces:"
"They are: Central Province, Northwest Province, Southeast Province, Tianxi Province, Haikou Province, and Shanbei Province. All provinces are managed independently and are unified by the central government."
"This manual is only available for review by all direct managers under the jurisdiction of Tianxi Province - Ma Fei. Anyone who finds the book should return it to the nearby official organization as soon as possible."
"This manual was last revised in May of the fourth year of the New Calendar at the end of the world"
