Ding Xiaoyi looked ahead with blank eyes. He didn't know how long he had walked. He knew that he was very, very tired.
There were blood stains on the inside of both legs. The blood flowed down the thighs and onto the feet. The pair of bright red shoes on the feet became increasingly bright red.
Every time I took a step, I felt a sharp pain in my feet, as if I had stepped on shards of glass with my bare feet.
If you listen carefully, you can also hear the cracking sound of "click".
That was the sound of his own foot bones breaking.
After walking wildly, the soles of his feet were severely deformed.
The feet, which were tightly bound in the shoes, had been bound and twisted.
Ding Xiaoyi shouted and struggled. He was in agony from the beginning, and every step made him go crazy.
He gradually gritted his teeth and adapted to the pain coming from his feet.
By now he was numb.
Empty eyes stared forward.
My legs refused to obey and I continued to run rampant...
He can no longer even tell whether he is a living person or a corpse.
Until…………
On the lonely street, under a dim halogen lamp, my shadow was stretched to the end of the darkness.
At this time, Ding Xiaoyi suddenly noticed that in the shadow in front of him, a vague figure was staring at him.
"who!"
Ding Xiaoyi's eyes glowed with hope, and he couldn't help but walk towards the figure.
"Da da da…"
The slender high heels stepped on the bluestone floor, and the clicking footsteps suddenly became more urgent.
At this time, the shadow hidden in the darkness suddenly accelerated and ran forward.
"Don't go! Help me..."
Ding Xiaoyi's face changed suddenly. He didn't want to give up just like that, so he quickened his pace and followed him.
He is now like a drowning person, even if there is just a straw in front of him, he will not let it go easily.
Suddenly the figure rushed into an alley, and gradually slowed down in Ding Xiaoyi's sight, until he stood there and stopped moving forward.
"Hello!"
Looking at the figure standing in front of him, Ding Xiaoyi tried to call him while slowing down his pace.
The sharp footsteps "Da! Da! Da!" echoed slowly in the alley.
As the distance got closer and closer, Ding Xiaoyi smelled a pungent burnt smell in the air. This smell... was very familiar.
The burnt stench was mixed with the lingering rancid odor, which suddenly gave Ding Xiaoyi a bad premonition. The back figure in front of him and the figure in his impression gradually overlapped.
Ding Xiaoyi's heart tightened: "It's him!"
Impossible? Didn't he already... The cold air penetrated into his collar, causing Ding Xiaoyi to shiver uncontrollably.
Subconsciously, I wanted to retreat, but found that my feet were not obeying my orders and kept moving forward.
"Da da da……"
Step by step, the pace is sonorous and powerful.
Every step he took stepped on his heart, and every step he took made him feel chilled.
At this moment, the figure in front of him gradually turned around, with a carbonized face and empty eye sockets, like two bottomless abyss, staring at him and wanting to swallow him up.
"New District Warehouse No. 2!!" A hoarse voice seemed to roar from the man's chest.
"What??" Ding Xiaoyi was startled, not understanding what this warehouse meant.
The man grabbed Ding Xiaoyi's shoulders with both hands, his carbonized cheek almost touching his own: "New District Warehouse No. 2!"
As he spoke, the man's head suddenly tore open, and a burst of purple flames poured out along the crack, swallowing him up in an instant.
"ah!"
Ding Xiaoyi struggled with his hands and sat up suddenly from the rocking chair.
On a hot summer night, even the wind carried the smell of scorching heat, but he could not feel a trace of warmth. Instead, he felt cold from the inside out.
Huhuhu...
Sweat dripped down his temples like rain.
Is it a dream??
Looking at his intact feet, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
If that was a dream, it would be too real.
He can still clearly remember every detail in his dream.
Including the pain of being restrained and twisted in those high heels.
But if it’s not a dream, then what is it?
“New District Warehouse No. 2??”
At this time, he recalled the robber's last shouts to him.
New District Warehouse No. 2?
Ding Xiaoyi murmured, thinking about the meaning of this sentence.
I took out my mobile phone and searched for warehouse information about the new area.
City S is a big financial city, and the real industry is not very developed, so the number of warehouses is naturally very few.
There is only one warehouse in the new district, which is a regional transit warehouse.
There are transit points in all major regions of the alliance, but the fees are not cheap.
Under the high cost, the real efficiency of use in S City is very low.
Because more people choose water transportation. After all, it is close to a river, so water transportation is the advantage of S city.
After careful searching, Ding Xiaoyi decided to check out the reality of this warehouse.
There's something wrong with this dream, it's too real, as if it's burned into my bones.
He didn't understand why the robber told him about this warehouse.
But that was by no means a figment of my own imagination, but a reality.
But of course I couldn't sneak in like a thief.
There must be a valid reason.
So Ding Xiaoyi picked up his mobile phone and ordered a batch of high-energy synthetic batteries from the nearby city Z in District 9.
If you take the district transit route, you can enter this transit warehouse.
After placing the order, Ding Xiaoyi no longer felt sleepy.
Seeing that it was still early, he took a quick shower and put on his clothes to go to the dock. Today he was going to get the engine back.
"Weng... buzz buzz... boom!"
With the sound of Ding Xiaoyi closing the door, the huge courtyard suddenly became quiet again.
"clatter…"
At this moment, a pair of bright red shoe uppers quietly poked their heads out from under the rocking chair.
Then he walked out step by step, with loud footsteps, and disappeared into the darkness.
S City Pier.
On the other side, Ding Xiaoyi looked at the Explorer robot that had just been moved out of the container.
The black metal shell gives people a rigorous and solemn feeling under the dim light.
It's a pity that the damage was too serious.
The appearance of the explorer robot itself can no longer be seen.
Unfortunately, it was severely damaged and no longer worth repairing. Otherwise, how could I have benefited from it?
The procedure for picking up the goods was not complicated, and it took less than ten minutes to complete the pick-up procedures.
I spent 300 alliance coins to rent a truck and two porters, and they would deliver my things to my door on time at noon.
While there is still time, Ding Xiaoyi plans to purchase some items.
At this moment, when he turned around, a black figure in front of his eyes met him head-on.
The opponent was very big, and the huge force almost knocked him away.
Fortunately, at this time, the other party reacted very quickly, grabbed Ding Xiaoyi's arm and pulled Ding Xiaoyi up: "Sorry, sorry!"
Before Ding Xiaoyi could say anything, the other party quickly hurried away from the side with his head lowered.
When Ding Xiaoyi saw this, his first reaction was to touch his backpack. After confirming that the money in the backpack had not been stolen, he noticed the man's broad back.
Visually, he was about 1.8 meters tall, wearing black sportswear, but his face was not visible.
"Maybe he's a helper at the dock."
Ding Xiaoyi checked himself again and made sure there were no missing items, so he didn't take it seriously.
When I went out, I scanned an electric car with my mobile phone.
This kind of electric vehicle is a recently emerging product in the alliance.
It’s called an ethical shared electric vehicle.
As long as your credit limit reaches mid-level, you can use it for free.
With a high-level credit limit like mine, you can not only use it for free, but you can also ride out of the specified area in a short period of time.
Of course, as a public welfare item, this kind of electric vehicle has an obvious characteristic, that is, it is slow. It can be called a turtle speed.
The speed limit of 30 yards is simply maddening.
If it weren't for the lack of hovercars in the middle of the night and the shadow of the last hovercar, Ding Xiaoyi wouldn't be too lazy to ride this car.
Riding his bike to the wonton stall, Ding Xiaoyi stopped the bike, waved to the old man at the stall and said:
"Uncle, a bowl of wontons and a basket of steamed buns."
The old man who runs the stall is still kind and friendly.
Delicious steamed buns and big mouthfuls of wontons can always calm down your tense mood.
After hastily eating wontons and filling his stomach, Ding Xiaoyi paid the bill and left no more.
There were still many things to do today, and he had to take advantage of the early morning weather and the weather to get all the things he needed to purchase as soon as possible.
Watching Ding Xiaoyi's back walking further and further away, the old man put away the dishes and muttered to himself in the air.
"What a pity..."
As he said this, the old man looked towards the cabinet of his trolley and didn't know what he saw. He smiled and said, "Hey, what does this have to do with me."
As the old man spoke, he put the dishes and chopsticks in the sink and looked back at the air beside him, looking a little annoyed.
As he spoke, he raised his fingers on the small shrine on the counter. He saw a black and white photo quietly placed there.
Looking at the photo, the woman's age is only around twenty-six or seventeen.
He has jet-black braided hair and big, bright eyes. He is not exactly beautiful, but he is also kind and good-looking.
It's just that the woman in the photo has a serious look on her face and seems a little unhappy.
"Okay, okay, don't worry. The thing that's wrapped around him won't kill him for a while. I'll help him untie it next time."
When the old man saw this, he quickly said his word of assurance.
At the same time, he had a dumbfounded look on his face and muttered in a low voice that only he could hear: "You still like to meddle in other people's business."
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after hearing the old man’s assurance, the serious expression on the woman’s brows in the photo relaxed for a moment, and she looked much more peaceful than before.
