Doomsday Wonderland: One thousand one hundred and eighty-six


【This is anti-theft, everyone goes to bed first! This chapter will probably take a long time]

After opening the door and walking out of the A-17 Pier Hall, there is a long corridor. The surface of the walkway is composed of countless fine pebbles and is coated with a layer of beige paint. In addition to being a little uneven when walking on it, it also makes people worry that the pebbles under their feet will slip, causing people to walk from a few hundred meters away. He fell from a high altitude - after all, there were no protective measures on both sides of this extended walkway. When he looked down, he saw that the pedestrians under his feet were like a colony of ants, flowing slowly and darkly on the ground.

Looking into the distance from this height, you can just see the waists of the buildings in the cyber area; the gray-black buildings are still extending upward in the night with the little lights coming from the windows... ...as if there is no end. When Lin Sanjiu looked at them, he couldn't help but wonder what the people living on the top floor were going to do.

There are two rows of indicator lights embedded on the ground on both sides of the walkway. The small white light spots stretch out and disappear a hundred meters away, as if they were swallowed up by the huge black shadow at the end of the walkway. This giant beast suspended in mid-air was the spaceship she was about to board this time. Lin Sanjiu stopped, took half a step back, tilted her head and looked at the "spaceship" carefully.

——For a person from the earth, this "ship", like most of the man-made structures on the Red Nautilus, looks beyond her imagination. If he didn't know what this thing was first, I'm afraid Lin Sanjiu would never associate it with transportation.

Looking at it from a distance, the steel platform in the distance was probably at least several thousand square meters. It was as if someone had dug up a square by its roots and placed it in the air... She just thought of this, Suddenly, he heard the sound of slight footsteps not far behind him. Without waiting for the person behind him to urge him, he hurriedly walked towards the spacecraft at a faster pace.

The aisle is too narrow for two passengers to walk side by side.

Like walking on a balance beam in the sky, Lin Sanjiu quickly reached the bottom of the steel platform without squinting.

She didn't know where the main body of the spacecraft was or what it looked like, but apart from the vast flat plate above its head, there was only this huge "box" hanging under its belly - layers of steel plates. When you look at the sealed "box" from a close distance, you can't even see the end of it; two of the steel plates are staggered by a certain distance, and pale light shines from inside. As soon as she walked to the door, a young man with a tired face and wearing work clothes inside shouted at her footsteps without raising his eyes: "... Area R on the right is the open space with the door open. Find a place to sit by yourself."

Lin Sanjiu deliberately made herself look like an experienced passenger and got in without saying a word - but her bone wings naturally caused her a little trouble; As I walked past, I failed to control the row of sharp blades at the end of the bone wing, and almost cut the young man's face in half - but at least it got in without any blood.

The young man looked at her back with a pale face for a while, then suddenly remembered something and shouted: "Be careful, you will have to pay for any damage to our goods!"

At this time, Lin Sanjiu had already reached the door of Area R. She sighed silently when she heard these words.

"Who told you to only buy the cheapest ticket." After a while, Teacher Yi muttered.

——After cursing her bone wings secretly again, she squeezed them tightly behind her back and carefully squeezed into the narrow door of Area R. On both sides of Area R, iron boxes as big as warehouses filled every inch of the space and were piled up to the ceiling; only the fluorescent lamps above the aisle were still barely shining light downwards.

Sometimes when the cargo ship is full, if there happens to be some empty space, some passenger tickets will be sold at half the price of ordinary passenger ships - but there is no water, no seats, and sometimes even legs He couldn't stretch it out, so he had to squeeze it together with the cargo box - remembering that he was pleasantly surprised when he saw the ticket, Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

The R area seems to be only twenty or thirty square meters in size at most, which is pitifully small compared to the size of this spacecraft. Even such a small amount of time was not wasted. Lin Sanjiu didn't know whether she should be grateful for her luck. When she walked in, there were already four or five people sitting in the corner - of course, after seeing her bone wings, almost everyone showed an unwelcome look on their face.

...She shamelessly found a place and stood with her arms folded. Perhaps it was because Lin Sanjiu looked so fierce when her face was cold and expressionless, so even though she occupied a large space, no one said anything in the end.

The footsteps walking behind her just now came to the door of Area R with the same weight and frequency; a young woman poked her head through the narrow entrance. Lin Sanjiu subconsciously looked up and was startled - but a low cry was frozen before it could escape her throat, and was immediately swallowed alive. She watched the woman walk in in surprise, looked around, and sat down opposite her.

When he first glanced at her, Lin Sanjiu almost thought this person was Sajie.

But upon closer inspection, this woman is completely different from Sajie - whether it is hair color, facial features, or height and body shape, it is obvious that they are two different people; the reason why they almost admit the mistake is because this woman is also the same There is a pair of black eyes that are almost bursting out, and a thick scarf around the neck.

Seemingly noticing Lin Sanjiu’s gaze, the strange woman curled her lips slightly at her.

Despite the ups and downs in his heart, Lin Sanjiu remained motionless on the surface and turned his head expressionlessly.

With a space of twenty to thirty square meters, it was impossible to sell many tickets; after the tenth person walked into Area R, the young man who was constantly tired followed him to the door.

"Everyone, please listen carefully. This flight will take five days. You will disembark at Hubble Port and transfer to another spacecraft." He held the door with one hand and said absently, "...just follow the aisle toward the direction. There is the restroom at the other end. Before takeoff, the entrance you enter will be locked. Although you can move around in the aisle, it is best to stay in the R area... Hey, it doesn't matter, you are in these container areas anyway. It can't be opened either. Don't touch our things casually, and don't fight, otherwise someone will be responsible for throwing them out for you."

He didn't bother to look at everyone's reactions, and turned around and left as soon as he said the last word. After a while, the "click" of steel pulleys and locks came from the direction they came from.

The ten strangers stayed as close as possible to each other in the cramped space and fell into silence.

The silence was soon submerged in the slight roar of the spacecraft when it started up - when this sturdy-looking iron guy turned around and took off, he felt very unstable, and the steel hull around him buzzed and shook. For a while. When the trajectory of the spacecraft finally smoothed out, several passengers each found a more comfortable position, sitting or lying down. A middle-aged woman with brown hair walked past Lin Sanjiu, left Area R, and walked into In the aisle.

It was only then that she had time to raise her doubts to Teacher Yi.

"...Was I dreaming at that time? Or was it a hallucination?" Even now, she still feels dazed when she recalls the real world. "It's too realistic, no, it should be said that if there were no suspicious things, it would be a completely different reality... In comparison, this bizarre spaceship, the red nautilus, etc., are more like a dream. ”

"I can't say..." Teacher Yi said, "This is also the first time I have seen such a thing. But the beautiful red eyes and blue banknotes you saw at that time were actually all done by me. I can't wake you up, and I can't contact you, so I can only create some images and instill them in you... If not, I guess you are still in the world of your hometown, living an ordinary life day after day."

Lin Sanjiu was shocked and couldn't help but tremble - "No wonder! The other people were completely trapped in that layer of hallucinations and couldn't even wake up..."

If it hadn’t been for Teacher Yi, I’m afraid that a few months later, she would be lying in a pile of people with the same dying appearance.

"Then how did you realize something was wrong?" She asked in her mind. On the surface, she was still as calm as water, as if she was closing her eyes to rest, without showing any sign that she was talking to anyone.

"I should say you are lucky." Teacher Yi's voice became a little more relaxed, "Those white smoke make you dream about the world in your hometown~IndoMTL.com~ which is normal for you; so once At first, I was confused, thinking that I was you, living in your body... But soon I discovered that you and I are two different consciousnesses, and you seemed to be completely unaware of my existence - also It is precisely because I woke up first and realized my own existence that I knew your situation was abnormal."

Although it was a bit confusing, Lin Sanjiu had personally experienced the horrifyingly realistic reality and quickly understood it - at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Indeed, if what I dreamed about was not my hometown, but a part of the apocalyptic world... fighting, surviving, looking for a visa, etc... then I'm afraid neither of us would realize what was wrong, then I would really I can’t sleep at all——”

This sentence was choked by her, and a thought that followed hit her like an electric shock.

Her face gradually turned pale.

"You don't mean..." Teacher Yi stammered.

"Was I really sober before I dreamed about my hometown?" Lin Sanjiu said softly in her heart - more like forcing her to find the answer on her own.
