While arranging for the spaceship in space to do a rough scan of the entire planet, Hao Ren knew that his group could not be idle.Many details can be hidden in the unobtrusive corners of the world, and a spaceship in space may be able to find a fortress hidden beneath the earth's crust, but it may not find clues left by the survivors when the apocalypse comes.The group gathered in a circle in the living room, discussing the current situation of this strange planet.Vivien folded her hands on the coffee table and spoke unhurriedly: "The big question now is why the natives of this planet are hiding, and why are they leaving such a strange city to trap outsiders. ”Real-time news, entertainment on television, and recently produced goods and accompanying advertisements are all signs that human society on this planet is still functioning, but hidden somewhere unknown.At present, this empty city is more like a closed observation room, whether it is the Nangong couple who came here a hundred years ago, or Hao Ren and his party who have just been sent in, it seems that they are all regarded as observation samples.Hao Ren got everyone's support after he spoke his conjecture, especially Lily, a husky who had just watched a lot of science fiction movies before he came, and now his head is full of conspiracy theories."
They must have a purpose, because it's expensive to keep the city running," Izax tapped on the table, "Look at the supplies, the city's energy, the robots for maintenance, the things in the mall—most of them are kept out of date and thrown away."
It's certainly not a joke that they keep such a large city running, but they only feed two people. ”Lily looked at the circle of people around her, raised her hand and spoke: "I think first of all, we should try to shout to the aborigines of this planet, they must be able to see us, let's ask them openly and honestly what they want to do, if they don't reply, then let's try to break through the city gate, see how the defense system of this place reacts, if it doesn't work, we can only fight......
That's better than no progress. ”Hao Ren looked at the husky girl with some surprise: "Okay, I didn't expect you to come up with a very positive plan, this time you won't be cowardly?"
”"I'm already amazing!"
Lily glanced at Lily at the table, Vivien said, "Okay, how are you going to shout?"
Do you want to go straight to the balcony and howl at the sky?
”Without saying a word, Lily got up and walked towards the balcony, leaving everyone looking at each other, and Vivien shrugged: "I forgot that she usually went to the balcony to howl at the sky when she was idle - this matter has no psychological pressure on her at all." ”Before she finished speaking, there were already bursts of mournful and loud wolf howls on the balcony: "Woo-" Hao Ren shouted in the direction of the balcony with his throat: "Talk about people!"
”Lily reacted at this time, shouting outside for the natives of this planet to come out and talk, shouting for several minutes before she trotted back to the living room: "No, no one cares about me, let's carry out Plan B." ”Nangong Invincible had been watching this group of neurotics stunned by the side, and couldn't help but sigh at this time: "This girl has a good voice......"
"If this city is an observation room, then someone must be monitoring the movements in this area, and Lily's movements just now will inevitably fall in their eyes," Although Izax was also a little speechless about Lily's convulsions, he still had to admit that it was really meaningful, "Now we can consider forcibly breaking into the city checkpoint, so that we can probably force the locals out." ”Everyone nodded, but just as they were about to go out to act, Elsa's voice came from the side: "Big guys, shouldn't you eat something before you act?"
”I saw Elsa standing at the kitchen door with a big tray on her face, with a smile on her face, and her lower body had become the same snake tail as May, with a steaming cauldron rolled at the end of her tail, and a strange smell of rice coming out of it: it seems that May's ability to use her tail to develop all kinds of strange uses and pour housework was inherited from her mother.Nangong Invincible suddenly stood up with a smile and greeted the guests: "Come on, it's rare for everyone to get together, let's try the craftsmanship of the insiders first."
Anyway, we have been waiting for a hundred years as a husband and wife, and we are not in a hurry to leave. ”Elsa put the hot meal on the table, and there were not enough people at one table, and half of them simply ate at the coffee table.There was a lot of food on the table, and most of it was unheard of, but luckily it tasted good enough to make a group of people feast.Lily is especially not a picky eater, and when she sticks her head into the bowl, the whole world basically has nothing to do with her, and Hao Ren has to watch from the side to hand her water at any time: this is also a tacit understanding cultivated by more than a year of living together.May looked at the table full of food and the parents sitting at the table, her eyes were red: "I haven't eaten together like this for a long time......"
Elsa looked at the Nangong brothers and sisters, and her voice was slightly hoarse: "When your parents left, you were all half-grown children......
I didn't expect it to grow so big.How have you spent all these years?
”"My brother and I are running all over the world, I am singing, my brother is going to catch ghosts, and the two of us are wandering while inquiring about your whereabouts," May poked the rice in the bowl with chopsticks, "There were no clues for more than a hundred years, until I met the landlord ......"
Hao Ren turned his head to look at Nangong Invincible: "How did you learn the language and writing of this planet?"
”He and his friends are assisted by translation plug-ins, and they can quickly master any language and script, but he wonders how the Nangong couple learned this."
Read books, listen to the radio, watch these screens......"
Nangong Invincible pointed to the screen inlaid on the wall next to him, "Although there is no one in this city, you can always see these things, a hundred years later, no matter how stupid you are, you should learn it." ”"Oh yes, yes, watch TV, watch TV!"
Lily suddenly became happy, threw the chopsticks and ran to turn on the "TV", fiddling for a long time and finally found where the switch of the thing was, "click", the screen gradually lit up.Seeing this, Hao Ren reminded: "Take it easy, don't break other people's things!"
”"It's bad, it's bad," Nangong Invincible shook his head and laughed, "When my husband and wife first arrived here, they really broke a lot of things, and they also burned down a house because of cooking on a fire - heh, there are always people to help clean up afterwards." ”Hao Ren smacked his lips: "You two have a high enough cost ......of living," Lily pressed randomly next to the "TV", and the programs on the screen kept changing, from news to commercials to entertainment, and even TV series and movies - just watching the TV content, it was as if there was a bustling world outside where everything was normal.Lily pressed it enough and sat down at the table, biting her chopsticks and muttering: "I wrote a novel before, that is, a man who was locked in a house, the house had no doors and no windows, only a mountain of cans and a TV, that person was born in the house, grew up in the house, all he did was watch TV, watch the bustling world on TV, news and current affairs, watch the world and the world, he knew from TV that he lived in a huge and prosperous city, and he also knew that the country he lived in was at war with another country, And then suddenly one day the TV broke down, and he smashed through the wall and came outside the house......
"And then what?"
”Vivien was immediately aroused, "By the way, you still write such profound things?"
”"And then?
And then he just fell, and went down endlessly—his whole world was that room, and outside the room was nothingness, nothing existed," Lily bit her chopsticks, "I wrote a thriller novel." ”Vivien lowered her head and said, "This story is not funny at all. ”Hao Ren fell into deep thought after hearing Lily's story, and finally he shook his head and pointed to the screen on the wall: "But the TV in your story doesn't show real news - your 'people in the house' are not in the eyes of an observer. ”A news story is playing on the screen that the "Department of Security" and the "Department of Pioneers" are preparing for the planetary ark to slow down, and a grimacing host is calling on the residents not to linger in places prone to collapse, so as to be ready to deal with the vibrations of the planet's first engine switch.At the same time, the Giant Tortoise Rock Terrace also received news that the propulsion engine of the Wandering Planet was reducing power, and several engine vents in the opposite direction were showing signs of warming up.This is where the city is different from Lily's story: someone made this "glass house".Itzhax frowned as he watched the news on the screen and suddenly stood up.In the midst of everyone's puzzled gaze, he came to the window and raised his hand to a building in the distance of the city.In the next second, a huge fireball exploded through the city, roaring like rolling thunder.
