When the river washes her out of the dungeon area and into the next process of the factory, she will probably trigger the "evolver alarm" like last time, right?
It's time too.
Lin Sanjiu's water quality was average, and he simply gave up struggling to swim. He let the waves wrap around him, rising and falling, spinning and rolling all the way. His vision was sometimes dim and sometimes bright, but he couldn't see anything clearly. After a few long minutes,
She felt that the river seemed to be getting shallower and shallower, and the water was getting weaker and weaker. Finally, she was pushed by the river waves and washed onto a flat ground.
Panting, she raised her head, wiped the water from her face, and looked around.
This is an artificial river beach. The waves of water slowly washing over the flat land have long lost the momentum they had just now; the river ended suddenly.
The flat ground paved with cement stretches out from Hanoi at an angle, stretching out far in front of you. There is still blue sky behind you, but above the cement ground in front of you are factory roofs, with rows of incandescent lamps shining brightly; both
The connection was so silent that even Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell where the roof took over from the sky.
She was not the only one who looked up at the sky; from time to time, the river would wash a few ordinary people onto the cement ground again. After breathing and calming down, almost everyone looked up and looked back and forth - into the distance.
People in groups of three or five, perhaps because they came first, were already surprised, standing or sitting on the ground, looking at the new arrivals.
"What...what is this place?" A young woman in front asked a few people sitting by the river.
"We don't know either."
"I was just washed up by the water."
"Go and ask the people inside."
The answer she got was almost the same.
Lin Sanjiu walked deeper and looked around.
The cement floor is square, with the river behind it, and the other three sides are high plaster walls, which together with the roof form an airtight room.
There are no doors or windows, and except for turning around and jumping into the river - which will probably wash up again - there is nowhere for people to go in this giant warehouse-like room.
The strange thing is that the deeper you go into the "warehouse", the denser the people are, as if they are all gathered together, waiting for something, and there is a faint layer of anxiety and urgency in the air. When she reaches the end of the warehouse
At that moment, a fragment of the conversation caught her attention.
"Just wait, I don't know how long it will take to open it..."
Lin Sanjiu looked back following the sound, walked up a few steps, and asked the old man who was speaking: "What are you opening? What are you waiting for to open?"
The old man was stunned, as if he was startled by her momentum, and stammered: "Wall, wall..."
Lin Sanjiu frowned and glanced at the high wall on the left side of his finger. The plaster texture was flat and there was no place to open it. "How do you know it will open?"
"I'm not sure. I also heard someone say that the wall will open... maybe it's a message left by the person who was rushed in before." The old man calmed down and asked: "You, why don't you seem to be okay?
So much the same..."
Ordinary people who were temporarily given the ability to evolve, now their ability to distinguish when facing evolvers is also messed up. Lin Sanjiu did not explain, thanked him hurriedly, turned around and walked towards the left wall - the people gathered deep in the warehouse
, it seems that everyone has heard the same news, but no one is sure whether it is true or false.
"You are also the winner of the dungeon, right?" said the young man, whose face was half covered by long light brown bangs. "I just found out that everyone in this place is, and I don't know where the losers are. So...
,Behind this wall should be the exit for the winner..."
"I've been waiting for half an hour." When asked how long she had been waiting, the slightly fat middle-aged woman replied: "It's nothing. I heard that some people have been waiting for two days... Who are you asking?
?I do not know then."
"No, no," the little fat man was a little anxious when he heard what Lin Sanjiu meant: "Not to mention whether you can break the cement wall, you don't know anything about it, you are too reckless, what if something happens to the warehouse?
If you put poison gas on us, wouldn’t we be doomed?”
The people in the warehouse are all from Fanjia City and are the winners of the dungeon. There is less competition among each other. The atmosphere is much more friendly than in the dungeon. It is also smooth to talk to strangers - news, speculations, rumors... in a few days.
It was circulated back and forth in the warehouse without hindrance, and Lin Sanjiu had difficulty judging whether it was trustworthy or not.
It seems that there is no other way for the time being except to wait and see.
So far, the evolution alarm has not sounded in the factory, but she is a little surprised - or is the alarm sounding somewhere else and not being heard in the warehouse?
"The copy you escaped from before," Lin Sanjiu continued to ask the little fat man, "What is the content?"
Everyone likes to be asked about their achievements and victories. This was the case with the four or five people she asked just now, and the little fat man was no exception.
"It is a copy of the courtroom. Everyone is assigned to roles such as lawyer, prosecutor, suspect and jury." He said happily, "Everyone has their own goals. I am the suspect's defense lawyer.
We must try our best to find excuses for his crimes... Fortunately, I have seen a lot of pre-apocalyptic things and understand them quite well, otherwise I would not have been able to win."
He wiped his nose and said with a smile: "I was not born before the end of the world. It's a pity. I think I have the talent to be a lawyer. Ah? What? Rewards... There is no special reward, just a copy of the court.
The 'eloquence points' accumulated in the game can be kept."
Lin Sanjiu nodded slowly.
Everyone she asked in the warehouse came from the same type of copy; one of them actually won the "battle for the right to speak". It was obviously the matter of her previous group - consider it.
She had been in the "battle for voice" for nearly a day, and the people in the warehouse had been waiting for at least that long.
Could it be that the entire river is filled with copies of the same kind?
"No," the next person she talked to, a man with slightly divergent eyes, replied: "Although I am from Fanjia City, I am good at water. I was once recruited to build an 'Aerial Water Park'
, is a recreational facility for wealthy evolutionists, where I learned to swim... To put it far, I mainly want to say that as soon as I was washed out of the dungeon, I immediately swam upstream against the current. At that time, I
I happened to see that the copy on the other side of the river seemed to have ended, and a group of people fell down one after another..."
He paused, looked around, and said: "They didn't look like they could swim. After they fell into the river, I followed them. As a result, I lost my target and was washed here. When I went ashore to look for it,
But I found that the group of people was not here at all, not even one of them."
In other words... the section of river after the copy plays the role of "categorization", separating the winners and losers of other copies, as well as the winners of the copy similar to the "battle for the right to speak".
Lin Sanjiu thanked her and walked away while thinking about it. The buzzing chatter of the crowd mixed and echoed under the high ceiling into a pot of porridge where the details could not be heard; she walked to the left wall and looked up at it
.
Maybe it was just a whim, maybe it was just an intuitive impulse - she couldn't explain why she subconsciously activated [Flat World] the moment she put her hand on the wall.
The next second, the warehouse was still there, but the wall on the left disappeared.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Recently, even getting a salary can't make me happy. When I get it, my psychological reaction is: I have been tortured in exchange for such a small amount of money, which is only enough for moonlight. What is there to be happy about? After spending all the money, I will not be a grandson again.
After thinking about it, the thing that makes me happy recently is probably that my peppers have borne fruit. It turns out that the little green beads mentioned last time are not peppers, but flower buds. In two pots of peppers, there are many complicated and dense white flowers, and then they are pointed.
Small peppers poked out from the ground... they were light green at first, then turned purple, and then slowly turned orange... They have been planted for so long, but they are still not edible, maybe because there is not enough sunlight.
