Shi Ran put his mobile phone and some experimental reports that he had compiled last night and needed for today into his briefcase, took the keys, changed his shoes, turned off the lights, and went out.
This is the morning rush hour for work, and there are a lot of people on the elevator.
Shi Ran breathed out a sigh of relief. The environment in this dungeon was quite good. It felt as if he had returned to Blue Star.
"Dr. Shi, are you going to work?"
Hearing this, Shi Ran, who was standing in the corner of the elevator, looked up.
It was an aunt holding a dog who was entering the elevator, greeting her.
Memories of this person flooded into my mind.
This aunt is a long-time resident of this building, and "she" gets along quite well with her. Her surname is Wu, and she always says hello every time she meets her.
"Yes, are you out walking the dog?" Shi Ran replied with a smile, and at the same time reached out to lift the bangs that partially covered her eyes.
Several young people in the elevator heard that I was a doctor, and they all looked sideways. Maybe they had never seen such a young doctor.
I touched my nose feeling a little guilty.
Fortunately, I have the knowledge reserve and memory of a doctor in my head.
"It's so good to stay at home. It's safe. Xiaohua has to go out. You can't just take her out for a walk."
Aunt Wu said rather helplessly, and she reached out and feigned a slap on the puppy's head.
The puppy wasn't angry either, wagging its tail, and sat obediently in the elevator, staring straight at Shi Ran with its round dog eyes.
"Little animals are like this. Just like children, they love to play and make noise." Shi Ran responded.
Aunt Wu said with emotion: "Who says it's not the case? The children have all started their own families, and only Xiaohua can be my companion."
Hearing this, Shi Ran thought of her mother in Blue Star. She must be worried that she would be harmed.
But at least there is a live broadcast, she can see her every day, and she should know that she is still alive.
After getting off the elevator, there is a large lawn outside the first floor. Walking along the cobblestone path is the first time you leave the community.
According to her memory, she walked to the left towards the Weird Research Institute, which was about five minutes away.
There are many people coming and going at the gate of the community, and there are also many people waiting for buses at the bus stop outside. The traffic on the road is during the morning rush hour.
Everything looks normal.
At this moment, Shi Ran felt that the relationship between the weird world and the real world that he had been making nonsense about before was really nonsense.
This is obviously the same as the real world.
Maybe it's just the chosen ones who entered the dungeon and the NPCs in the dungeon, living under a strange shadow.
She continued walking forward, the morning sun was warm and cool, penetrating the gaps between the treetops and shining on her shoulders.
Pieces of withered yellow leaves fell down one after another as a gust of wind blew.
It's autumn.
Shi Ran took out his phone again and looked at the date.
It's now October of 3046 in the Tianxuan Calendar.
This date is very confusing. Where did the year that disappeared inexplicably disappear in the middle?
There is a traffic light ahead. The light is green now. Several pedestrians are crossing the road, but soon the green light starts to flash.
According to Shi Ran's experience at Blue Star, this is about to turn into a red light.
But at this moment, a man rushed forward in a hurry. He didn't know what he was doing in such a hurry. He looked at the flashing traffic light and rushed straight over.
Sure enough, the red light turned green before he was halfway through.
Shi Ran stopped going to see him, which was just to delay the traffic for a while.
But what Shiran never expected was.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise, and the man was directly hit by the passing traffic!
Shi Ran looked around and saw that the vehicle involved in the accident followed the traffic and drove away as if nothing had happened. When she was about to enthusiastically call the emergency phone to call the police, the traffic behind seemed to not see the seriously injured person on the ground, and actually jumped directly from that person. Run over!
In less than a minute, the man was already completely dead. Even if Hua Tuo was reincarnated, he could only wave his hands and prepare for the funeral.
None of the vehicles that caused the accident looked back at the man, and drove away with their tires stained with blood.
The pedestrians on the road also had calm and untroubled faces, as if they were not surprised by such things.
Shi Ran was sure now that the memories she received were definitely not all memories, but filtered ones.
If she was the one who accidentally ran a red light today, wouldn't she be dead?
She opened her nervously clenched palms, which were already sweating.
She didn't dare to look any further and continued walking to the laboratory along the route in her memory.
She retracted her previous idea that this place was the same as Blue Star.
A weird world is a weird world, and everything cannot be viewed according to common sense.
In the elevator just now, Aunt Wu said that it was safer to stay at home, but Xiaohua insisted on going out. She thought it was because dogs were banned here or something, but it turned out that it was not safe for people to be outside.
After all, this world is now occupied by weirdness.
This is a strange world, no longer a human world.
Human beings are just at the top of the food chain, and the top is weird.
They have set some very unreasonable rules. All living things, including humans, will die as long as they touch these rules.
There was a traffic light in front of him, and Shi Ran didn't dare to walk even when the light turned green, for fear of being knocked away or even crushed to death.
She waited until the green light turned red, and then the red light turned green again. She made sure that the green light had enough time before moving forward.
She doesn't care what others say about her. She only knows that she must avoid all risks as much as possible to stay away from all dangers.
What she needs most right now is to live.
Everything is possible by living.
Blue Star.
Billions of people watched the live broadcast.
The chosen ones from more than a dozen countries were hit and run over by cars because the green light suddenly turned red while crossing the road.
They didn't even get to the institute and declared the game over.
There was a lot of emotion on the Huaguo barrage. Shi Ran was so lucky. He just happened to see someone else being hit by a car, so he increased his vigilance and escaped.
Weird world.
Shi Ran was very careful to keep a distance from everyone along the way, and finally arrived at the institute safely.
Shi Ran looked at the research institute in front of him. It was indeed called the Weird Research Institute. It looked very strange. The entire institute was surrounded by tall trees, and the sunlight was blocked.
Inside the institute is a five- or six-story high-rise building and several small buildings with only one or two floors.
Shi Ran used the work badge hanging around his neck to open the access control at the door and entered the institute.
"Good morning, Dr. Shi."
Robot Jenny greeted her, which was considered a successful check-in.
"Good morning, Jenny."
After speaking, Shi Ran walked into the research institute.
She works in that tall building.
She is a researcher at the lowest level, working in Professor Chen's group, following Professor Chen's arrangements, and working with other colleagues to complete research projects.
In this large group, her colleague in the same group is named Tong Haonan, who is also a doctoral student. He doesn't talk much, is meticulous in his work, and is a very diligent person.
"Shi Ran, wait for me!"
Shi Ran was suddenly stopped by someone, and she looked back.
