Chapter 231 The Real World
On the National Avenue, an off-road vehicle was driving towards the central city.
On both sides of the avenue are desolate wilderness and seemingly endless guardrails. The unobstructed sunlight makes the metal parts of the car gleam.
Yangzhi City's National Avenue in the east of the city leads in two directions, one goes to Yuanwang Port in the east, and the other is the one they are taking now, which can go directly to the central city.
There are very few vehicles on this road, because people in the central city rarely go outside, and people from outside who want to go in will not choose to go here if they don't have a formal identity.
Chengzi Pass opened very steadily and at just the right speed. They set off in the morning. Five hours later, they had approached the area where the Central City is located and arrived at a checkpoint on the outer edge of the Central City.
Cheng Zitong slowly stopped the car here and said: "Xiao Chuan, after passing the checkpoint, we are in the Central City area. Teacher, I will send you here. Someone will pick you up from the main hospital. Where are you?
Just wait for him."
Chen Chuanchuan: "Okay, teacher."
He got out of the car, took the Xue Jun Dao from the back seat, and took out the suitcase from the trunk. Cheng Zitong also got out of the car at this time. He looked up and said, "Hey, the sunshine is still so bright."
Dazzling." He said and put on his sunglasses.
He came over and patted Chen Chuan on the shoulder, "Xiao Chuan, when you get there, don't forget to send a message to the teacher."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "Teacher, the student has left."
Cheng Zitong waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
Chen Chuan bowed to him, then straightened up and walked towards the checkpoint.
When he came to the mobile isolation guardrail, two station inspectors came up to check his station transfer documents. Seeing that everything was in order, they moved the guardrail and let him pass. It was not until he walked out from the other end that
I heard the sound of a car driving back from behind.
At this time, he raised his head and saw that the road in front of him was leading straight ahead, and now he could vaguely see Central City at the end.
Urban buildings of different shades of gray stand on the horizon. Countless tall and uneven buildings stand straight there. The high bridge to the sea draws an arc like a flying rainbow, gradually disappearing into the sea fog, and
Compared to Yangzhi, who has been left far behind, it seems to be another world.
Under the vast blue sky, he was carrying the Snow Lord Sword and his suitcase, and now faced the world, and the road under his feet was the only line connecting the two.
After watching for a while, he put down his suitcase and looked at his watch. It was now two o'clock in the afternoon. According to what Cheng Zitong told him, the person who came to pick him up would arrive at about two o'clock.
However, the procedures for entering and exiting the central city are complicated. People who are not authorized persons will find it very inconvenient, so they may be delayed. Let them wait patiently. Anyway, there are telephones, telegraphs, and simple accommodations near the checkpoint. All you have to do is pay.
Can be used.
He stood there quietly by himself, silently guiding the oven breathing method. When it was almost three o'clock, there was the sound of cars on the road.
Hearing the sound, he looked up and saw a half-old armed off-road vehicle driving towards him. When it was still five or six meters away from him, the vehicle slowly stopped and a head poked out of it.
Come on, "Student Chen Chuan?"
Chen Chuan looked at it and found that he was a man in his forties, wearing polarized glasses, his hair was a little messy, the nasolabial folds on both sides of his mouth and nose were relatively deep, his beard looked like it had been deliberately trimmed not long ago, and his lips were slightly chapped.
It's just different from what I imagined. There is no trace of a fighter on this person. He doesn't look like a teacher at the school. Maybe he is a faculty member or something?
It's normal to think about it, because it's the Chinese New Year now, and those teachers have no friendship with me, so there is no need to go out to pick him up. Those who can be sent out should usually be people with low status.
He said: "I am Chen Chuan."
"That's fine." The man didn't ask Chen Chuan to do anything like verifying his identity. He tilted his head back and said, "Get in the car and sit in the back."
Chen Chuan walked over, came to the back of the car, opened the door and sat in. After closing the door and sitting firmly, he noticed a carved line from the man's ear to the back of his neck, which was the trace of the implant. He brushed it off
After taking a look, he asked: "What is this teacher's name?"
"Hey, don't call me teacher." The man waved his hand quickly, "I'm not your Wu Yi teacher. Isn't this the Chinese New Year? Your Wu Yi Academy has given me a commission to pick up a student. My credit used to be good.
I've been to Yangzhi a few times, so I asked you to come...sit tight."
The man waited for him to put on his seat belt, then started the car, reversed the car with great ease, made a U-turn, and drove toward Central City.
After driving for a while, he said: "My name is Qi Gao, just call me Lao Qi. I said, classmate, have you brought all your ID documents? The city has strict inspections. It will be difficult to enter the city if you don't bring them all."
Chen Chuanhua: "I have brought everything with me." He asked again: "So, you can enter the city without documents?"
"You can get in, but you have to take a detour, and you have to take risks. I have to take the risks, and you have to take the risks too. If you can reduce the trouble, then it will be less trouble."
Lao Qi looked at the rearview mirror and said, "Brother Chen, this is your first time in Central City, right?"
There is nothing to hide. Chen Chuanchuan said: "Yes, it's my first time here."
Lao Qi smiled, with a bit of mystery on his face, "There is the checkpoint for entering the city in front of you. You will need your ID when you get there. You will understand by then."
After driving along the road for less than half an hour, we were getting closer and closer to the city ahead. In some relatively close places, we could already see tall buildings that looked silvery gray under the blue sky.
There have long been no guardrails on the roadside. Instead, there are raspberry-shaped piers in front of them, which are a bit like column foundations without pillars. People seem to be able to walk on them, but they don't see any use.
Lao Qi said: "That's it, get out of the car." As he said that, he took a box and pushed the door open first.
Chen Chuan looked outside. It was still very empty. There was no one else. It didn't look like a checkpoint. He opened the door and got out of the car.
Lao Qi put the box on the ground, then squatted down and opened it. There was a click, and cold air came out. It was full of ice cubes. He reached for a few pieces and threw them away. There was a sealed bag buried in the middle.
I took it out, opened it, took out the contents, and threw it to Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan caught it and found that it was a mask that covered the upper half of his face. It seemed to be made of bone, but it felt very light. The eye area seemed to be a transparent film like a lens, on both sides of the mask.
There are two small white bugs on the edge, squirming slightly, and they look like they are growing on it.
"Wear your mask." Lao Qi said over there.
Chen Chuan pressed the mask onto his face and felt that it was easily attached there. The two sides of the mask formed a curved arc above the auricle, which fit right in there.
After wearing this thing, the strong light from outside is blocked. Although it is only around the eyes and face, it feels like being isolated from the outside world.
At this time, the two little bugs slowly stretched down and drilled into the ear canal, but only the front end went in a little, and they also shrunk a little as if they were self-adjusting, and soon became much more snug.
.
At the same moment, he saw a very weak sign of blurring on his second self, which was almost unnoticeable if he was not paying attention. He thought for a moment and did not continue to let the second self deflect this external invasion.
Just after he chose to do this, his eyes dimmed first, then flickered like a jump, and a hissing sound came from his ears.
And when he looked up again, the whole city suddenly appeared in front of him in another form. On the originally pale and gray buildings, layers of colorful neon lights suddenly appeared, as well as swirling and dancing lights.
The light bands are jumping and stretching, and the light curtain extends into the clouds and rushes into the sky!
There are various projections of huge figures and swaying and flickering scenes floating on the glare, from the old era, the new era, reality, and weirdness. They seem to have been extracted from the time scale, and then appear in the chaotic space.
Blended and confused.
And his ears became extremely noisy at this moment, filled with the sounds of various languages and tiny noises.
Regardless of light, shadow or sound, all of them were thrown towards him at once, wrapping him and surrounding him. Everyone seemed to be trying to squeeze his attention, but every time they tried to stay, they were interrupted by countless others.
Information flow washes away and is fleeting.
"Hey, Brother Chen, can you still hear me?"
The voice seemed to come from a distant place, but it was the only coherent one. Chen Chuan turned his head and saw Lao Qi shouting at him, one hand waving in front of him, and the other
He put his hand next to his ear and kept patting him gently.
His movements of hunching his neck close to his palms and closing his eyes were like coaxing a child to sleep, which seemed a little funny, but the message conveyed was very clear.
Chen Chuan raised his hand and patted his ear twice. The bug beside his ear suddenly shrank. At this moment, the mask dimmed again, and everything he had seen before receded.
Without a trace, those complicated sounds all disappeared, and the world returned to its original appearance.
He stretched out his hand and slowly took off the mask. The distant wind blew over, carrying some dust, blowing through his hair. The surroundings were quiet and vast, and the buildings opposite still stood there quietly.
It seems like those just now were just some kind of illusion.
Lao Qi stared at him, looking left and right, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Brother Chen, are you okay? Most people can't stand it when they first come into contact with this thing, and some people can't help but faint.
Yes, you are really amazing. You have been staring at me for so long and you are still fine?"
Chen Chuan raised the bone mask in his hand and asked: "Old Qi, what is this?"
Lao Qi shrugged and said: "Dashun officially calls this 'Jie Ping', but we usually call it 'Yin Yang Yi'. There is also a special name for it..."
There seemed to be some kind of light flashing in his eyes, "Oh, this, 'Biological Field Interactive Link Technology', there are other companies with special names, in short, there are many. You should have seen Central City just now, right?"
Chen Chuan nodded.
"So...welcome to the real world."
Lao Qi spread his hands. There was excitement and madness in his expression, and his voice seemed to be mixed with hatred and love. He looked towards the direction of the central city and sighed: "What you saw when you came here was just covered up."
The incomplete side, but what you just saw is its complete and true appearance."
