After all, her home is quite far away from Min'an Road. There is no bus at night, so I'm afraid it will take almost an hour to get there.
But Chino doesn’t want to attract too much attention.
Dispelled the other party's idea...
As far as you can go.
Just walk slowly...
After passing through countless streets, Lin Xiaoxiao finally came to the place where Jiang Liang mentioned Min'an Road.
On the way, because I wanted to find out what happened here.
Qianye asked Lin Xiaoxiao to turn on his phone, search for the latest news about Min'an Road and read on.
In fact, what Jiang Liang said in the news is similar...
It says above that there was an infectious disease recently, and because it was so severe, a lockdown treatment was adopted.
Except for medical staff and staff, no one else can enter or leave, and all intersections entering Min'an Road are blocked.
Let’s leave aside the officially announced infectious diseases.
Many people have also expressed their opinions on the Internet, saying that it is just a separation, but they cannot dial the phone numbers of their loved ones and cannot get in touch with the people inside.
This makes many people unable to understand why the contact line was cut off.
Is it possible that infectious diseases can spread through the Internet?
Regarding this.
There is no official explanation...
It's just for everyone to discuss alone.
[This is not an infectious disease, it should just be a temporary excuse that some people come up with to block the news.]
[I'm afraid something else might have happened inside...]
Qianye reasoned this way.
He really didn't want Min'an Road to encounter supernatural infiltration.
This may cause you some unnecessary trouble...
But judging from the current situation.
The possibility of supernatural infiltration on Min'an Road is too great, otherwise the use of infectious diseases as an excuse would not have happened...
"The... intersection is blocked, I can't get in."
Lin Xiaoxiao stopped.
There was only her lonely figure on the empty street.
Looking at the iron fence in front of her, she said with slight hesitation, hoping that Qianye would give up the idea of letting her in...
after all.
I've been out for an hour now.
The sooner you go back, the less chance your mother will find you running out in the middle of the night...
[See the trash can next to it? Move it over and dig it in. 】
Naturally, Qianye would not let him go easily.
After finally getting here, he thought it was impossible to just take a look and leave, right?
Moreover, the intersection Lin Xiaoxiao chose was very good.
The old alley streets mean that there are no surveillance cameras installed in this place, so you don't have to think about being recorded.
"I...okay."
Lin Xiaoxiao wanted to say something else.
But when she turned around, she realized that she had no right to speak at all, so she had to refuse in her heart, but her body had to do what Qianye wanted...
Green trash cans generally have rollers underneath them.
This allows Lin Xiaoxiao to reduce the sound very well when dragging, thus attracting the attention of others.
When Lin Xiaoxiao used the trash can as a footrest.
Qianye looked at the barbed wire in front of him and began to think...
If there is really a supernatural infiltration and you don't want others to enter Min'an Road, then there should be personnel guarding every intersection.
The last thing a small city lacks is idlers.
If you offer some salary at will, a lot of people will come to express their willingness to see the road...
And here.
Not only was there no surveillance, there were no security guards, which made Qianye feel strange.
Lin's small body is very clumsy.
After moving the trash can, Qianye found that the other party's legs couldn't move at all. It was difficult to climb up to stand on top of the trash can, and then climb over the barbed wire fence...
A moment of distress.
He asked Lin Xiaoxiao to bring a few more bricks, and then he was able to climb up the trash can and then reach the top of the barbed wire fence.
"So... so high..."
Looking at the height of turning over.
Lin Xiaoxin couldn't help but feel frightened.
There was no one on the other side to move the trash can or anything for her, which meant that she had to jump directly from the barbed wire fence...
Although it is not as high as the second floor of the residential building next door.
But Lin Xiaoxiao, who had never done anything like this before, subconsciously trembled with her legs and did not dare to do the next thing.
[Don’t be afraid, you won’t kill anyone if you fall. If you really feel too high, just roll and release some force when you jump down. You’ll be fine...]
Qianye taught patiently.
Lin Xiaoxiao had no other choice but to follow Qianye's instructions and climb down from the barbed wire fence.
Unfortunately......
Such a thing as letting go.
It sounds simple, but it is obviously difficult for a girl like Lin Xiaoxiao to learn it all at once.
The opponent did roll for a week after he jumped, but he only started rolling after he actually fell to the ground...
Even when he jumped down, Lin Xiaoxiao's arm was scratched by the barbed wire.
The pain caused by the fall took her a long time to get up. She covered her arms with tears in her eyes and said words like "It hurts so much"...
Qianye knew that he couldn't force himself too much.
So when Lin Xiaoxiao was almost rested here, he was allowed to continue walking inside...
"Is there really an infectious disease here? Or what should I do if I get infected by doing this?"
Lin Xiaoxiao said nervously.
For unknown reasons, all the street lights on Min'an Road were turned off and it was pitch black. She could only take out her mobile phone, turn on the flashlight, and carefully move inside step by step.
From time to time, I would step on something and make a sound.
Lin Xiaoxiao was so frightened...
【Don't panic, it's okay, I'm here.】
Qianye comforted the other party.
He really didn't want to attract anyone because of Lin Xiaoxiao's noise.
Otherwise, not only Lin Xiaoxiao might suffer a little, but also his desire to know what happened on Min'an Road would not be realized.
"It's really dark here, I'm afraid..."
Lin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and continued walking while trembling.
Min'an Road has lost its street lights and only has the light of flashlights. At night, birds occasionally chirp, and mice crawl through the sewers.
It does feel a bit eerie...
As Lin Xiaoxiao walked on the deserted street, every step she took was challenging her own psychological limits.
Qianye was worried that if something happened, the other person would turn around and run away in fear, so he could only comfort the other person in a low voice and let him calm down. There was nothing to be afraid of here.
Min'an Road is very narrow.
Maybe it’s not even a path at all…
It would be more appropriate to describe it as an alley.
There are stone walls with mottled traces of time on both sides, and some paintings of naughty children are painted on them.
The low-quality chalk writes crooked words on the wall.
From the partially disappeared position, it can be determined that after these words were written, it must have rained several times before the chalk dust was washed away like this...
When you reach the corner of the alley.
There are also intricate wires hanging overhead.
Qianye is really worried that these wires will short-circuit and burn one day, and then give a big gift to anyone who happens to pass by...
The road to civil safety is not long.
The reason why it takes so long.
Those who couldn't walk fast at all because Lin Xiaoxiao was always in a tense state of mind...
The residential houses in the alley were eerily quiet.
If I didn't say it, I'm afraid I would think that this is an old and useless place with no one living there, leaving such an empty shell.
He walked like this for several minutes.
Qianye, who didn't notice anything wrong, suddenly thought of something.
[Wait a moment, go to the window in front of you, and look through the window to see what it looks like inside.]
"Ah? Wouldn't this be very rude..."
Lin Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment.
If you stand in the window of other people's houses and look in, you might get scolded if you meet someone with a straight temper.
[No, usually people who have windows in places like this will install curtains. Isn’t that the same in your home? 】
Chino explained.
Lin Xiaoxiao then walked towards the window doubtfully, and then took a look inside as Qianye wanted...
What Chino said is right.
There is indeed a curtain covering the window... To be precise, it should be a piece of discarded bed sheet, hanging from the top with nails.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't understand what he was doing here to look at other people's curtains.
[Try pushing and see if you can push it open.]
"Huh? If you are discovered like this, you will be regarded as a thief."
Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned.
Thinking of the scenario where she might be caught as a thief, she shook her head like a rattle.
【Seize the body......】
"oh."
Lin Xiaoxiao was extremely nervous.
He carefully tried to push the window in front of him with his hands, observing the surroundings while pushing it, as if he were a thief.
It would be a bit illogical to say that she is a thief.
squeak......
The old windows are very weak.
Lin Xiaoxiao also didn't expect that the window was really unlocked.
When she made a harsh sound, she subconsciously bent down and crouched under the wall, for fear that she would be discovered pushing someone's window...
【It's okay, no one noticed.】
Qianye said helplessly.
This little fat guy is really clumsy at what he does.
When Qianye thought that he didn't know when he would be able to come out of the other person's body, Qianye felt that his future was gloomy...
Lin Xiaomao bent down and slowly poked his head out, and found that no one noticed him.
Just when she breathed a sigh of relief.
Qianye's voice sounded like a curse in her ears again.
【Open the curtains and see what it looks like inside.】
"hiss......"
if it is possible.
Lin Xiaoxiao really wanted to get rid of this guy as soon as possible.
She was ready to run away at any time, and she had even thought about where she should hide so that she would not be found, dragged out and beaten to death if she could not climb over the barbed wire fence.
Stretching out his hand, Lin Xiaoxiao lifted a corner of the curtain from the outside...
Pitch black.
Only the outline of the furniture piled inside can be vaguely seen.
The single bed is placed in the corner, and the bed can be seen clearly from this position.
Although his vision was affected, Lin Xiaoxiao still found that there was no one on the bed.
"Empty room?"
[No, maybe it’s not an empty room...]
"What's the meaning?"
[Keep doing what I say and you will understand in a moment.]
Chino didn't explain much.
Instead, Lin Xiaoxiao was asked to look through all the nearby windows.
Even if he resisted, it can be said that Lin Xiaoxiao became more and more proficient after having the first experience.
If you encounter something that is locked and cannot be opened, just skip it without forcing it open...
twenty minutes.
Lin Xiaoxiao has opened no less than ten windows and seen no less than ten rooms...
These rooms are the same as the first time.
There's no one there.
"how so?"
Lin Xiaoxiao, who originally thought it was nothing, felt something was wrong after opening several windows in succession.
Although Min'an Road is remote.
But it’s not like there will be so many households without anyone...
and,
Didn't the news say that some infectious disease occurred on this road?
What other closure treatments were performed?
If this is really the case, then it stands to reason that when there are no residents here going out, there will be no one to deal with it...
【Pretty much what I thought.】
"What are you thinking about?"
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know why.
Things happened out of nowhere, making her feel indescribably strange...
This deserted alley, coupled with the silent street without street lights, slowly released the fear and timidity hidden in his heart.
A gloomy atmosphere enveloped Lin Xiaoxiao, and her legs could not help but tremble.
I looked at the surrounding scene very nervously.
[Do you still remember what Jiang Liang said? He said Wu Di had been on this road before he disappeared.]
[His home is nearby, and he feels that Min'an Road may not be as simple as an infectious disease...]
"Missing......"
Lin Xiaoxiao chewed the word gently.
She is not too stupid, and she quickly understood what Qianye said this time.
"Are you saying that there is no infectious disease on Min'an Road? This is just an excuse made up by someone who doesn't want us to know what happened?"
【Um.】
"Can......"
Lin Xiaoxiao's experience basically exists in books.
I haven't realized what I need to use excuses to hide.
"It's said in the news that it's an infectious disease. Why can't it be broadcast and why should we use excuses?"
【Of course, it will cause panic among the masses.】
Chino replied.
While talking to Lin Xiaoxiao.
He suddenly remembered the time when he taught those people as a "teacher".
He was impressed by the gangster boy...
I still remember that the gangster boy once asked himself this question in Xingfu Village, where the environment was somewhat bad.
He asked: "Since the organization knows the emergence of the terrorist world and knows how to deal with it, why not tell those who have not entered the terrorist world in advance?"
"In this way, wouldn't it be possible to reduce the number of victims..."
The explanation at that time is considered reasonable here.
The reason why I use excuses to obscure the truth.
There is undoubtedly only one problem...
[If what really happened were revealed, it might lead to worse things happening. In order to prevent the deterioration, they chose to hide it. 】
[You should also know that there are no infectious diseases on Min'an Road at all, but the people on this street have disappeared...]
【If I am not mistaken.】
[Except for the houses I showed you, there are no people in other places either...]
"A whole street of people disappeared..."
Lin Xiaoxiao felt that his world view was impacted.
Looking at the real world, this kind of thing is undoubtedly ridiculous and outrageous. Even if you tell your friends, you will probably only get the comment that you are "joking"...
"How is this going?"
"How is it possible that all the people on a street are missing?"
"Human traffickers... can't possibly do this, right?"
Lin Xiaoxiao asked subconsciously.
Naturally, she couldn't figure out what was going on when she thought in a conventional way.
Qianye pondered for a moment.
Or decided to tell the other party something else...
