"Captain, we found the oil drum!"
Shirley, Zhang Ze and others ran towards Hank carrying a large oil drum more than half a meter high, and several people were busy filling the oil drums with diesel.
"You can pack as much as you can. Next time you come in, you don't know where you will appear."
After listening to Hank's words, Zhang Ze asked casually: "Is it different every time you enter the mirror world?"
"Yeah." Hank nodded: "We were lucky enough to appear in the city this time. Last time we appeared in a deserted desert with nothing but sand. It was a waste of time."
Xiaoniaoyiren interjected: "Then come in again?"
"Haha, little girl, when you go back you will know why we can't enter this world more often." Hank smiled and did not answer directly.
A few minutes later, several large oil drums were full, and everyone loaded them into cars and prepared to return.
Suddenly, a figure flashed in Zhang Ze's peripheral vision!
He was startled and looked back quickly, only to see a blurry black figure standing in the window looking at them in the office they had been to before.
"Captain!" Shirley's eyes widened and she looked very nervous.
Hank also had a solemn expression. He nodded slightly: "I saw it, don't worry about it, let's leave quickly!"
After saying that, he started the car and quickly left the gas station.
Zhang Ze kept staring at the black figure. He found that the black figure stood still and didn't seem to care about their departure.
"The black shadow didn't come after me." Melancholy in the sky turned back to Hank and Shirley and said, she also saw the black shadow.
However, Hank and Shirley's expressions still did not relax, which made her feel confused.
"What is that black shadow?" Zhang Ze asked in a deep voice: "Captain, we are also your members. I hope you can tell us the truth."
Hank pondered for a moment and said, "That's the 'Man in the Mirror'."
Zhang Ze narrowed his eyes slightly: "The man in the mirror?"
"Yes, as the name suggests, it is the person in the mirror." Hank said in a low tone: "We come to the mirror world. If we accidentally look into the mirror, then an exact version of us will appear in the mirror."
"The man in the mirror will do whatever it takes to kill its true form and try to replace it."
Zhang Ze and the others were a little surprised. Tian Tian said melancholy: "The man in the mirror is actually a copy, right?"
"Absolutely, we haven't studied these monsters carefully." Shirley took over and said: "These people in the mirror are very fast and powerful. It is difficult for our weapons to kill them, so once they are stared at by the people in the mirror, It will be very troublesome, so we will retreat as soon as possible and not get entangled with them."
"I don't know who the person in the mirror just now is..." She bit her lip and said angrily: "Damn it, I clearly remembered to seal all the mirrors, why does this happen again?"
Xiaoniaoyiren looked back at the car and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, the man in the mirror didn't follow, we are safe now..."
"Safe? You are wrong, little girl." Hank shook his head slightly: "Only when you return to our world can you be truly safe."
"But, there is no person in the mirror following us at all." Xiaoniaoyiren felt that Hank was making a fuss and said, "What is there to be afraid of?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly noticed a figure flashing across the glass windows of shops on both sides of the street!
"Um?"
Xiaoniao Yiren's eyes widened, and she saw another Xiaoniai Yiren running through the pieces of glass!
As if aware that the little bird is looking at her, the "little bird" turned his head and grinned at her...
"Oh my god! It's the person in the mirror!" Xiaoniaoyiren screamed in fright: "It turns out that the person who was photographed just now is me!"
Now Zhang Ze and the others finally understand why Hank said the danger has not been eliminated.
"Shirley, break those glass!"
Hank shouted to Sherry as he accelerated the car.
Shirley picked up the gun in her hand and fired in bursts, shattering all the glass windows on the opposite side. Suddenly, countless glass fragments were scattered on the ground.
But this had no effect at all. "Little Bird Yiren" appeared on another glass window, and then jumped out of the glass under the shocked eyes of Zhang Ze and others.
"Hee hee hee!"
"Little Bird Yiren" let out a weird smile that was breathtaking, like a wild beast, crawling quickly on the ground with all four limbs, and actually caught up with the speeding car!
Shirley leaned half of her body out of the car window and shot wildly at the "Little Bird Yiren" behind her.
Zhang Ze saw that although the bullet hit the body of "Little Bird Yiren", there was no wound or bleeding. It could only slow down the speed of "Little Bird Yiren", and it was impossible to kill it.
"Ah! Drive faster! It's going to catch up!"
Xiaoniaoyiren remembered that Hank had said before that the man in the mirror would do everything possible to kill his own body, so she was so frightened that her scalp was numb and she kept urging Hank to drive faster.
"This is already the fastest speed!" Hank shook his head: "We must find other ways, otherwise we won't be able to get rid of it at all."
Seeing "Little Bird Yiren" getting closer and closer to the car, Zhang Ze had already opened his system backpack, preparing to put on weapons and equipment to fight the man in the mirror.
At this moment, Shirley suddenly shouted: "Close your eyes!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment. They saw her take out something and throw it backwards. Then, there was a burst of bright light!
"It's flash
Light bomb! "
Zhang Ze and the others immediately closed their eyes and heard a piercing scream coming from behind.
After waiting for a while, the three of them opened their eyes and looked back. The shadow of "Little Bird Yiren" was gone.
"call……"
Shirley sat back on her seat, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "The person in the mirror is afraid of strong light, but I can only push it back, but I can't kill it."
She said to Hank next to her: "Captain, the weapons and ammunition we have are low and must be replenished."
Hank shook his head: "The man in the mirror has come out now. Maybe there is more than one. This place is very dangerous now. We can't stay any longer and must evacuate as soon as possible."
He called all members: "Guys, a special situation has occurred here. The man in the mirror appears. Everyone evacuates immediately! Repeat, evacuate immediately!"
"Colonel got it!"
"Shark got it!"
…
"Charlie, please help me see if the person in the mirror is following us."
Charlie's voice came quickly: "Not at the moment, no."
"Good, then we can go back to the hotel directly."
Ten minutes later, Hank took Zhang Ze and others and ran upstairs carrying heavy oil drums, but they exhausted the little bird and the sky's melancholy.
But because they were worried that the person in the mirror would chase them, they did not dare to stop and rest, and climbed to the thirty-sixth floor in one breath.
When they returned to the room where they came from, Shark and Gou Ye's teams had already returned. Everyone immediately went to help and delivered supplies to the mirror.
"Everyone, return to our world immediately!"
Seeing that the supplies had been transported, Hank waved his hand and asked Master Gou, Zhang Ze and others to enter the mirror first, while he and Shirley stayed behind.
"team leader!"
The colonel handed a grenade to Hank, who nodded and took it.
Others walked through the mirror and returned to the ark one after another. As soon as they came out, they felt dizzy and had splitting headaches. A few girls even couldn't help but retched.
Zhang Ze held his forehead to resist this strong discomfort, and the colonel's voice came to his ears: "This is a side effect of entering the mirror world. The longer you stay, the greater the reaction. Don't move now, sit down and close your eyes." Just rest your eyes and the discomfort will pass soon.”
"Now I finally know why Hank and the others can't repeatedly enter the mirror world..." Xiaoniao Yiren's face turned pale and she said weakly: "It's really uncomfortable!"
After about ten minutes, everyone felt more comfortable and opened their eyes one after another, only to see countless black holes on the opposite side pointing at them.
The leading soldier shouted in an unquestionable tone: "Members of the exploration team, please accept the examination. Thank you for your cooperation!"
Master Gou, the colonel and others were accustomed to it. Under the vigilant eyes of the soldiers, they walked into the previous tent. After passing the inspection, they could move freely.
When it was Zhang Ze's turn, it was the same staff who checked the same things as they had checked before when they entered the mirror world.
Now, everyone finally understands why these people want to check in such detail and even dig into personal privacy.
The purpose is to prevent the person in the mirror from disguising himself, sneaking into the world, and killing people.
After Zhang Ze and his team completed the inspection, Hank and Shirley walked out of the mirror. They just stood with their eyes closed for more than ten seconds before their bodies returned to normal.
The old captain came over after hearing the news. He waited for Hank and the two to finish the inspection before approaching him. He asked with concern: "Is the entrance to the mirror world destroyed?"
"Don't worry, captain. When we left, we left the wristband grenade over there. The entrance must have been destroyed."
After hearing what Hank said, the old captain breathed a sigh of relief and said with a satisfied smile: "Well done, Captain Hank."
He ordered people to deliver the reward items to the residence of Hank and others. As for Zhang Ze and other novice porters, he just said lightly that he would absolve Zhang Ze and others of their crimes and let them return to their residences.
However, the next time you take action, you must be on call. If you hide quietly and avoid work, you will be thrown into the cell again.
"Damn it, I got on a pirate ship!" the irritable Dragon King cursed in a low voice.
The giant smiled and enlightened him: "At least, we don't have to go back to the cell, and we can move around freely. By the way, we can look for clues to clear this level of demonic realm."
After getting their respective identity cards from the jailer, everyone lowered their heads to check.
On this iron plate the size of a playing card was engraved their names, genders, serial numbers, the regions they belonged to, and their specific addresses.
"Area E..." Shandao Bubu hummed and laughed at himself: "I guess this E area is either a slum or an untouchable area."
Zhang Ze also laughed and said: "It should be right, otherwise, we wouldn't be dressed in rags and thrown into a cell. This is not the treatment of the rich and nobles."
Yiye Zhiqiu said: "You should have discovered that this ark is said to be the last refuge of mankind. I think it is the private domain of the old captain. Everyone must live according to his will."
"If you resist, you will be punished." He shook the identity tag in his hand and said, "I guess we might have done something disobedient to him when we were put in the cell before."
"Anyway, I really hate that old captain!" Little Princess Qian pouted and said, "He is so arrogant that he doesn't regard us as human beings at all!"
Liu Yueying said calmly: "To him, we are just low-level untouchables, so naturally he won't take us seriously."
"He only looks up to people like Hank and Shirley who are helpful to him."
The group of people walked and chatted, and soon arrived at Area E.
As expected, this place is the poorest and most backward area on the Ark.
People were wearing shabby clothes, leaning against the graffiti-covered walls, looking at Zhang Ze and others with numb expressions.
In order to facilitate his rule, the old captain divided everyone on the ship into three, six or nine grades according to their abilities.
His relatives, friends and confidants are of the highest class and live in the most prosperous District A.
Soldiers are placed in Area B, and then engineers and technicians live in Area C.
Workers and ordinary people were placed in Areas D and E, and the materials they enjoyed were the least and worst among all.
This phenomenon led to dissatisfaction among the residents of Districts D and E, who organized rallies repeatedly to protest against this class oppression.
But they were all suppressed by the old captain with force, and said that if they didn't want to stay on the Ark, they could leave!
Looking at the endless sea outside the cabin, these people had to recognize the facts and live with humiliation.
However, class antagonism has not disappeared, but has always been suppressed in people's hearts, like a volcano that is ready to erupt at any time.
Although Zhang Ze and others are all residents of Area E, they do not live together, so they say goodbye to each other and return to their "home".
"Room 334, Area E..."
Zhang Ze took the identity card and walked through the cabins, comparing the house numbers on them.
"found it."
Zhang Ze looked at the broken door lock and curled his lips: "Public security is really bad. As soon as I was arrested, the house was broken into..."
Pushing the door open and entering the house, the floor was full of mess.
The other party obviously didn't find anything valuable, so he vented his anger on things and destroyed everything that could be destroyed.
Zhang Ze was about to clean up when he suddenly heard the door being pushed open, and half of a seven or eight-year-old boy's head emerged from behind the door.
"Brother Rakshasa, you are back!"
When the little boy saw Zhang Ze, he was overjoyed.
Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment, and the child's name immediately appeared in his mind: "Fat Zhao?"
Fatty Zhao is the child of the next door neighbor. His parents are dead and he lives with his grandfather. He likes to come to Rakshasa's house to listen to stories. He is a very sensible child.
Zhang Ze held his forehead. Since returning from the mirror world, many memories that did not belong to him appeared in his mind.
"Is it like a time-travel novel, that I inherited the memory of the original owner? It's really ridiculous..."
"Brother Rakshasa, I know who did it!"
Fatty Zhao said angrily: "It's Lao Huang and his group! They knew you were arrested for participating in protests, so they brought tools to pry open the door of your house and steal things. Grandpa and I didn't dare to stop them..."
"You did a good job." Zhang Ze walked over, smiled and touched Zhao Fatty's round little head, and said: "Old Huang and the others are villains, you and grandpa stay away from them."
"But your home was destroyed by them..." Fatty Zhao looked at the torn books on the ground with a sad expression.
"It doesn't matter." Zhang Ze said with a smile: "I have read these books several times and memorized the contents. I will tell you about them later."
Fatty Xiao Zhao's eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly: "Really?"
Suddenly he remembered something, took Zhang Ze's hand and left: "Grandpa said you can't eat well in the cell, so let me take you there to eat something delicious."
Zhang Ze couldn't resist the child, so he followed him to the next room. Seventy-year-old Grandpa Zhao had already prepared meals and was waiting for them.
Zhang Ze thanked him and took the food handed over by Grandpa Zhao. It turned out to be a bowl of instant noodles.
For the residents on the Ark, instant noodles are already a rare delicacy. Little Fatty Zhao couldn't get enough of them and even licked the bottom of the bowl clean.
After thinking about it, Zhang Ze asked Grandpa Zhao if he knew about a stone door. Grandpa Zhao shook his head in confusion, saying that he had never seen it before.
Zhang Ze didn't say much, thanked him and returned to his room.
"Is there anyone?"
Suddenly he found a mysterious man in black robe standing in his room. Zhang Ze was slightly startled and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
