Twenty-one minutes later, a taxi controlled by the "old driver" autonomous driving system arrived at the long-destroyed main entrance of the forest park.

Lin Chi took his backpack and walked out of the car, staring at the dilapidated metal door in front of him, and saw that the cast iron fence had been rusted and covered with moss.

Liulishan Forest Park, which was once listed as a 4A-level scenic spot, has now been closed and even the words on the signs cannot be seen clearly.

However, for such areas that still retain vegetation, without tourists, it is also very beneficial to protecting the integrity of the natural landscape.

Looking at the rusty gate and the walls full of ivy hanging beside them, Lin Chi jumped under the wall. The hydraulic device on the exoskeleton's legs pushed his body to jump high, directly over the four-meter-high wall, and steadily landed on the stone road on the other side.

"Ha, this thing is quite reliable." He patted his arm supported by the exoskeleton with satisfaction.

Standing in the open-air parking lot where grass had grown, looking around, a refreshing smell of green plants rushes over, and dense plants grew on both sides of the unmaintained road ahead.

What catches your eye is a lush green area, and the vegetation covered on the hillside seems messy, but it exudes a primitive beauty. Compared to the city that has been in a haze for a long time, this natural scenery is more pleasing to Lin Chi.

"alright……"

Lin Chi put down his backpack, took out the drone from it, connected the drone and the phone with a data cable, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Soon, a cold sound came from the speakers of the drone: "The remote wireless connection (IPD) has been established with the mobile device."

"Speak human words." Lin Chi raised his eyebrows.

"Now I can watch the scenery with my drone and continue talking on my phone." Frankenstein replied.

"Then let's go. Remember not to run too far or leave the forest park area, otherwise you may be knocked down."

Lin Chi said, putting his backpack on the colored plastic chair next to him, and strideing towards the mottled road ahead. Several willow trees mixed with bushes on both sides of the road brought out slender shadows in the sunlight.

Relying on the power of the exoskeleton, Lin Chi quickly walked up the hillside. He looked up at the forest ahead, and showed a smile from the bottom of his heart because he had been staying at home for a long time.

Compared to the steel forests built by humans, the natural landscape is more pleasing to him. In order to alleviate the fatigue caused by long-term gaming, this kind of place is really better.

Lin Chi remembers that he was here when he was a child. It was an open attraction at that time and the city was not polluted to the point that it is today.

Even in the case of long-term heavy pollution, the forest still stands here, like the last shield to resist pollution.

Lin Chi raised his head and saw a white-shelled drone controlled by Frankenstein quickly rising into the sky and flew towards the jungle ahead.

"What do you think?" he asked to his cell phone: "Is this place not bad?"

"I can't understand this beauty." Frankenstein's answer was honest.

"Then you better understand. Such good places are rare now. Maybe in a while, those real estate developers will come to cut down trees and build buildings." Lin Chi laughed.

While speaking, he had already reached the hillside, stepping up the rocks in the soil, and the air beside him was filled with a cool breath.

With the closure of the scenic spot, there has been no sign of being touched by humans and has restored its completely original appearance. For Lin Chi, whose activity range is limited to this city, if you want to see this kind of scenery, in addition to this forest park, you can only go to the game to enjoy it.

"Do you like it?" Frankenstein's voice rang out from his headphones: "By human standards, this is just a deserted area."

"It's just a personal hobby." Lin Chi said as he sat down on a cold rock, feeling the refreshing summer breeze beside him, looking up through the gaps in the tree canopy and looking at the blue sky.

"Do you know the 'tree house'?" he asked in a daze.

"A house built on a tree." Frankenstein replied.

"That's right, it's the kind of house that is built with wooden boards and hung on trees." Lin Chi leaned his body against the rock. The cold touch behind him made him tremble: "My childhood ideal was to build a tree house when I grew up, and then live in it, and live happily for the rest of my life."

"It seems difficult to do it." Frankenstein commented.

"yes……"

Lin Chi closed his eyes, and a hint of helplessness appeared in his voice: "Now, most people have been running to the city desperately. I originally proposed to build a tree house in the suburbs, but none of my relatives agreed with it, but instead made me laugh at me for a long time."

"You are indeed ridiculous." Frankenstein ruthlessly finished the fight.

"Maybe." Lin Chi did not refute.

Perhaps it is because the scenery here is dazzling, or it may be because of a great mood. Lin Chi, who rarely communicates with others on weekdays and always hides his thoughts in his heart, today he tells his true thoughts to a computer virus that has gained self-awareness:

"But I at least have dreams, unlike those guys who are already 'dead'."

"You mean, be confused." Frankenstein said an idiom.

The breeze blew the tree canopy and made a rustling sound, and Lin Chi whispered: "Yes. I don't want to be like that."

Although he had no contact at ordinary times, Lin Chi knew that many of his classmates had worked in jobs they didn't like after graduation, and prepared to start a family and start a business step by step. He was exhausted every day and wanted to save money to buy a house and a car. He was completely different from the young and energetic young girl when she was young.

They...maybe they are "dead".

In Lin Chi's opinion, those classmates were actually killed by "reality". They were not smoothed out their edges, but their original personality was eliminated and replaced with a new personality suitable for this society.

But he didn't want to be like that.

Lin Chi, who has always been lazy, is not ready to start a family and start a business, and does not have much desire for money and other things. More importantly, he does not want to be killed by this world yet.

"Do you want to resist?" Frankenstein's voice interrupted Lin Chi's thoughts.

"No, I'm just empty." Lin Chi said as he stood up and patted the dust stained on his back.

He knew that he could not change the world, but this world could not actually change him.

This is the way Lin Chi, who is an "old salted fish", chose to survive.

Just as Lin Chi was planning to continue climbing up, Frankenstein sent a new voice message: "I saw the tree house."

"Are you sure?" Lin Chi opened his eyes wide excitedly: "Where is it?"

“It’s not a tree house to be exact, it’s a wood hut,” Frankenstein said. “I’ll mark the location on the map.”

Lin Chi took out his phone and opened the map. He saw a conspicuous red dot appeared on the hillside about five hundred meters above him.

——Is there anyone living in seclusion in this place?
