"Do you know why we searched that building for so long and found nothing?"
Seeing Bai Ling come out, Lin Cheng stood up from the ground and asked her calmly.
But Bai Ling's expression was startled after hearing his question, and asked: "Why?"
"It's very simple."
Smiling, Lin Cheng took out a cigarette from the cigarette case in front of Bai Ling, kneaded it casually a few times and threw it to the ground at his feet. The cigarette paper and tobacco shreds he crushed slowly scattered downwards.
Go, forming a small pile of garbage at his feet.
Seeing Lin Cheng's inexplicable behavior, the confusion in Bai Ling's eyes became deeper and deeper, and he couldn't figure out what this guy was doing.
But the next moment, her eyes suddenly widened!
Because, as the last piece of tobacco fell to the ground, the ground at Lin Cheng's feet suddenly seemed to come alive. After a few squirms, the tobacco piled at Lin Cheng's feet disappeared in an instant.
The garbage disappeared, and the ground returned to normal again, as if the previous changes were just an illusion.
"This this……"
Pointing to the ground at Lin Cheng's feet, Bai Ling's expression was full of surprise. She wanted to say something, but she was so shocked that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence after opening her mouth for a long time.
"Is that really the case..."
But Lin Cheng didn't have time to pay attention to Bai Ling's expression at this time. Like him, it was the first time for him to see such a strange phenomenon. Although he had already known about it, when he saw with his own eyes the broken pieces he threw on the ground.
After being 'eaten' by the road, the shock in my heart was still a bit uncontrollable.
"How do you know this?"
After the shock, Bai Ling suddenly remembered Lin Cheng's actions just now and asked him quickly.
Hearing this, Lin Cheng shrugged and said: "You guessed it! Let's not mention the previous batch of people who came here, let's just talk about us. I smoked at least three cigarettes just now, and the scope of my activities was controlled from here to the front.
A building, what’s the result? In such a small area, I didn’t pay attention for a moment, and the cigarette butts and ashes I had thrown away disappeared! There is no wind or rain here, what else do you think could be the reason for this situation? "
"Well……"
After hearing Lin Cheng's analysis, Bai Ling nodded clearly. In fact, it's not surprising that she didn't notice this. After all, only Lin Cheng smoked among the two of them, and only Lin Cheng would smoke in less than a short time after arriving here.
'Garbage' can be produced within an hour, so it is quite normal that he was the first to discover the strangeness in it.
"So, everything we couldn't find in that building just now was actually because of this weird ground?"
After lightly stepping on the ground a few times, Bai Ling raised his head and asked Lin Cheng softly.
"What do you think?"
Hearing Bai Ling's words, Lin Cheng couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "That building is most likely a supermarket. Do you think that since people here can create such a floor with the ability to 'self-purify', don't you know how?"
To prevent normal items from being sucked away?”
"That……"
After hearing what Lin Cheng said, Bai Ling realized that her thinking was too simple, but now she was obviously much thicker-skinned than before, and she continued to ask without changing her expression: "Then why did we go in and search so many times and nothing happened?"
What did you find?"
After thinking about it, Lin Cheng sighed softly and said: "I guess there should have been something there originally, but it was later moved away by the group of people who came here decades ago..."
"Move away?"
Hearing this, Bai Ling's expression was startled, "You mean, there was something there originally, but it was later discovered by the first group of people who came here and moved to another place to study it?"
"Probably!"
Nodding, Lin Cheng felt a little helpless. The current situation has gradually become clearer. If he guessed correctly, according to the style of doing things of those people decades ago, except for the things in this supermarket being emptied, other
Things in the place may have been emptied...
Bai Ling naturally thought of this, and his expression suddenly became a little ugly. The two of them had spent a lot of money to get in here. They thought they would find something good, but in the end they were likely to get nothing.
I guess I didn’t even have to drink the soup!
After staring at each other with big eyes and small eyes for a moment, Lin Cheng cheered up and said: "Anyway, this is just our guess for the time being. This city is so big, maybe those people missed some things and didn't search them away.
Maybe? It's useless to say anything now. The top priority is to go over all the buildings in this city first."
After that, in order not to waste any more time, Lin Cheng walked directly to another building next to the supermarket with a flashlight in hand.
Looking at Lin Cheng's back, Bai Ling opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing and quickened his pace to follow.
…
An afternoon passed.
Standing on the roof of the tallest building in the city, Lin Cheng squinted his eyes and looked into the distance. With the help of his night vision, he could see almost half of the city at a glance.
The scale of this city was much larger than he imagined. He and Bai Ling searched non-stop for a whole afternoon, but they didn't even finish searching one-tenth of the city. It was understandable that he wanted to search thoroughly.
How long does it take to complete this city?
But Lin City was a little less interested at this time. The whole afternoon's search did not bring them any gains. All the buildings were empty, as if they had been swept away by a typhoon. Except for the original infrastructure, they did not even have a single fiber.
Not a single hair was found.
If at first he thought he had a chance to find the things those people missed, then after this afternoon's search, he had basically concluded that with the level of detail with which these people searched, he might even turn the entire city upside down.
Nothing could be shaken off.
Because of this, in this abyss city where there is no distinction between day and night, Lin Cheng stopped searching at ten o'clock in the evening, because even if he continued to search tirelessly, it would be difficult to find useful clues.
But he didn't intend to give up just like that. He finally got here. Even if he found nothing in the end, he had to turn this place upside down before he could feel at ease. He had entered many weird places, but he was sure that this place was definitely the first place he had ever entered in his life.
The weirdest place in the world, not to mention that it is very likely to be related to the apocalypse on the surface. Coupled with the inexplicable changes in Bai Ling's body, how could he leave willingly?
Bai Ling naturally saw his persistence, so she never mentioned leaving from the beginning to the end. And more than Lin Cheng, she actually wanted to know what all this was going on. Why was there thousands of meters deep underground?
There is such a future city somewhere? And why did she become stronger inexplicably after entering here? (To be continued)
