Chapter 112 The Day of Doomsday (Fifteen)
The woman was obviously only checking the authenticity. When faced with blood or other stains on the poster, she did not ask any further questions. After returning the admission ticket to the other party, she let the person behind her with a real gun and bullets let him pass.
Just like what the indigenous people discussed before, the few indigenous people who came alone were indeed assigned to different houses. When she saw some indigenous people injured, the woman would gently tell them the location of the hospital and remind them to get treatment as soon as possible. She would also comfort those who were frightened because of killing the infected just now, saying that this was to prevent the infected from mixing in and to ensure that there were no infected people in the base.
The player standing in front of Qiao Yuan was also a player. While waiting for the woman to check the ticket, he chatted with her about the founder of the base. The players came to District 9 for the same purpose, to see if they could learn from the so-called god-like person how to change the shadow back or the whereabouts of the shadow.
This player seemed particularly eager for the answer, after all, it was no longer him looking for the shadow, but the shadow looking for him. Whenever he closed his eyes, he seemed to see his own shadow appear in front of him with the infected.
"You mean Mr. Hammers?" The woman handed the ticket back and tucked her hair behind her ears. She said in a soothing voice, "He's busy with something right now. He will be available for reservations in a few days."
"However, because Mr. Hammers knows everything, there are many people who want to ask him questions. You'd better pay attention and queue up in advance. Of course, if it's something like praying, our Saint Son and Saint Daughter can also answer your questions for you."
Because Qiao Yuan had long anticipated that it would be difficult to meet Mr. Hamos, the founder of this base, and was even prepared to stay here for a few days, so she was not too surprised after hearing the woman's answer, but she couldn't help thinking about the existence of the Son of God and the Holy Daughter.
Although the woman said that the Son of God and the Holy Daughter were in charge of matters such as praying, her intuition told her that she should still pay attention to it.
Although the player who asked the question had anxiety written all over his face, he could do nothing about the woman's answer and could only take the key and leave with his companions.
After the previous player left, it was soon Qiao Yuan and his group's turn.
The woman's eyes fell on the gun in Qiao Yuan's hand, and her face suddenly became serious. This was the gun Qiao Yuan had cheated from an aboriginal before, but the bullets inside had been emptied. Seeing that the people behind the woman with real guns and bullets raised their guns as if they had regarded her as a dangerous person, Qiao Yuan threw the gun to the ground first, and the people behind the woman immediately took it away.
The woman was finally satisfied, and a gentle smile bloomed on her face again: "Sorry, for the safety of other people in the base, ordinary people are not allowed to carry guns."
Qiao Yuan: "I understand."
Because previous players had asked how to meet Hamos, Qiao Yuan asked another question that she was curious about.
The woman's eyes sparkled with excitement, but she tried to keep her tone calm: "God? Mr. Hammers has indeed seen God, and it was God who taught him many things. But don't worry, we will see him soon."
Qiao Yuan: "So what kind of god is it?"
The fanaticism on the woman’s face became even more intense: “He is the God who can end the end of the world.”
Qiao Yuan: “…”
The Terminator, right?
The young man over there also started to register his information. Because Qiao Yuan was talking to the woman, the task of answering fell on the other three people.
Song Yanchi and Yu Guo were both talking about Qiao Yuan's younger brother and sister, so the young man subconsciously centered his question around Qiao Yuan: "So you are Qiao Yuan's..."
Sheng Guiye was silent for a few seconds, and then he said, "Husband."
Song Yanchi: "? You..."
Because although Sheng Guiye had been following them, he always kept his distance from Qiao Yuan, so Song Yanchi didn't take him seriously. Originally, she thought Sheng Guiye would say brother, but she didn't expect him to say husband.
No, what's wrong with this guy?!
Anger surged in his heart, and Song Yanchi subconsciously wanted to deny Sheng Guiye's words to the young man, but the young man had already filled out the form quickly. Looking at the angry Song Yanchi, the young man showed a puzzled look on his face. Yu Guo quickly took the key from the young man and said it was okay.
Qiao Yuan had already finished talking to the woman and turned around to signal them to come over quickly.
Although Song Yanchi was angry, he remembered that they still needed to disguise themselves as a family of four to enter the base, so he suppressed the urge to take action.
But after passing through the row of people with real guns and bullets and entering the gate, Song Yanchi finally couldn't stand it anymore and grabbed Sheng Guiye beside him and asked, "What did you say just now?"
When Qiao Yuan looked over, he recounted what had happened as if he was telling a complaint.
Yu Guo let out an "Ouch" sound at the side. Although she quickly lowered her eyes to hide it, the look she gave Sheng Guiye and Song Yanchi was filled with a hint of excitement, as if she couldn't wait for the two of them to fight right now.
Sheng Guiye explained quickly, his voice calm, and rescued his suit from Song Yanchi's hands: "At the time, I could only think of this identity. After all, I look older than you."
He was not lying when he said this. When the young man asked him, the first word that came to his mind was "husband".
Song Yanchi was furious. Although he tried to lower his voice, anyone could hear the anger in his words: "You can be my brother because you are older!"
Although Sheng Guiye tried hard to stay calm, Song Yanchi did not miss the surprise that flashed across his face when he heard his words .
Qiao Yuan also caught Sheng Guiye's expression and realized that the other party really had not thought about this matter at the time.
Instead, she felt relieved in her heart. She originally thought that Sheng Guiye was acting so strangely, not because his second personality had come out or he was following a ghost. It turned out that he simply didn't react in time.
For Qiao Yuan, this was just an excuse to enter the base, so she didn't take it seriously and quickly turned her attention to the scene in front of her.
After entering the gate and walking through a long corridor, the appearance of the District 9 base appeared before their eyes.
Although Qiao Yuan and others had seen the promotion on posters, they were still somewhat surprised when they saw the scene before them.
Especially Yu Guo, she was originally disappointed because Song Yanchi and Sheng Guiye did not fight, but after seeing the scene in front of her, this disappointment quickly turned into excitement.
What appeared before their eyes were buildings, hospitals, shops, barber shops, and even schools. People were walking around, and their mental outlook was completely different from the aborigines Qiao Yuan had seen in other areas.
Looking out from the bus at that time, what Qiao Yuan saw most were the indigenous people who looked tired and evasive, but the residents here did not have that kind of numbness and heaviness between their brows.
When they were there, Qiao Yuan thought she had returned to a small town in the real world. Although the buildings were simple, they could meet daily needs. The doomsday they had experienced in other areas seemed like just a nightmare, but when they arrived here, they woke up from the dream.
She remembered the last question she had asked the woman: " Are there any taboos here?"
Woman: "No, just live like a normal person."
Qiao Yuan was a little confused at the time, but now he finally understood what the other party meant.
However, when he looked up and saw the emotionless golden eye on the building, Qiao Yuan quickly came to his senses and realized that he was still in the doomsday copy.
After asking the woman and getting the answer, Qiao Yuan had a rough plan in mind. While waiting to see Hammers, he would try to see the Son of God and the Holy Daughter. However, according to the woman, the Son of God and the Holy Daughter would only appear every Wednesday, and tomorrow was Wednesday, so Qiao Yuan decided to go to the house first to take a look.
Qiao Yuan and others stepped into the crowd.
Although they were much better off than some of the indigenous people, they were also exhausted, forming a sharp contrast with the residents of the District 9 base.
It was fine in the dark tunnel before, but now that they were in a bright place, Qiao Yuan was worried that someone would notice that they had no shadows and be mistaken for infected people. However, she didn't know if it was because people usually didn't pay attention to these details, or because they were too confident in the base's infection detection system. Therefore, apart from some people looking at their tired faces and casting sympathetic glances, no one noticed this.
Qiao Yuan and others successfully found the address.
This is a residential area converted from an old residential building, mostly for families, and there is no elevator. When walking upstairs, Qiao Yuan also ran into the players who were in front of them before, who were also disguised as a family, but they lived downstairs from them.
The door locks of the old residential buildings were a little rusty. The player holding the key twisted it several times, but apart from a few creaking sounds, there was no sign of it opening. He could only pull it out and readjust it.
The leading player took the initiative to talk to Qiao Yuan. After introducing himself as Liu Dong, he sighed to Qiao Yuan: "The environment here is much better than I thought. When I heard the native in the car say that some people had escaped, I thought the promotional pictures of the base were for reference only. In fact, when you walk in, it is a hell on earth where everyone is controlled by the government and everyone is talking nonsense."
Before Qiao Yuan could speak, Yu Guo smiled and said, "Maybe the environment seems good on the surface, but it's hell on earth behind the scenes."
Liu Dong frowned: "Well, it's better than outside anyway. To be honest, since I entered the dungeon, I only had the chance to sleep for a while on the bus. When I opened my eyes or closed them, I saw shadows..."
Although he knew that they had already reached District 9 and there should be no shadows, Liu Dong still subconsciously lowered his voice when he mentioned this term, as if he was afraid that someone would hear it.
Qiao Yuan: “…”
Because he was worried about becoming the target of public criticism, Qiao Yuan had not yet revealed that the mastermind behind all this might be his own shadow.
Now, Qiao Yuan's shadow has become the second biggest topic between her and the system after the black rose.
At this time, someone mentioned the shadow again. Although the system's voice was calm, every word was full of worry: [It won't appear in this base too, right?]
Qiao Yuan: "It depends on whether the puppet it is looking for is a human or an infected person. An infected person shouldn't be able to get in."
System: [Do you think it is a human or an infected person?]
Qiao Yuan thought seriously: "Each has its own advantages, and it is difficult to choose."
