Cheng Ye walked on the empty road.
This road is very long, and it's hard to see where it will lead.
The only clue he had was: this place is about a hundred kilometers away from Star City.
But he didn't know which direction the Star City was, or how to get there.
From Ling Ye's narration, it is not difficult to conclude that Star City has always been managed independently. Although after they rescued the people there for the first time, they were forced to open the exit passage under pressure, but they still did not open the inward passage.
Perhaps a place has been closed for so long, and such tragic things have happened, that people inside are afraid to come out, and people outside are afraid to go in.
The only thing he could judge was that the surrounding area of a blocked city should be overgrown with weeds.
Just like when he and Wei Sheng'an wandered to the very edge of the city, there was nothing but desolation there.
After thinking for a while, Cheng Ye called Chu Yue.
The call was answered quickly.
"Hey, is everything going well?" Chu Yue asked.
Cheng Ye said 'hmm' and lowered his head: "All the [malicious] residents are dead."
"Zombies?" Chu Yue raised her voice slightly.
Beside her, Ling Ye was cleaning the room. Hearing this word, he inexplicably stopped what he was doing and looked at Chu Yue.
Can we still communicate?
Wasn't it already cut off?
Cheng Ye: "It's not a zombie."
He explained the specific reason and said in a deep voice: "I have to go to Star City, but I don't know the direction."
Chu Yue lowered her eyes and thought for a moment: "Wait for me."
She raised her head and looked towards Ling Ye, and happened to meet Ling Ye's gaze.
Chu Yue pretended to be unaware and asked, "Do you know where Star City is?"
Ling Ye nodded: "I probably know the direction. It is surrounded by mountains and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I don't know if the zombies have broken out somewhere now. If not, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get in."
This was also the reason why Ling Ye never mentioned Star City despite clearly seeking a place of refuge.
They all know that it is less controlled by the state.
Similar to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
The development speed there is obviously ahead of the outside world, and it does not comply with environmental protection policies and has its own unique management style.
If there hadn't been a zombie chaos there, I would have wanted to go in at this juncture...
Disaster.
Chu Yue took out paper and pen: "Can you draw it? From our current location, up north and down south, roughly draw a direction."
Ling Ye took the pen and paper, and after a little thought, he started to draw on the paper: "We set off from City Z and walked for more than a month. We just arrived in the neighboring city. I think the streets here should be from City Y, and above it is City S, below is City L. Interstellar City is roughly in this direction. The place we originally wanted to go is the capital, which is to the north of the map, but Interstellar City is in the south-west. If we want to go, we have to return to City Z first."
Chu Yue blinked slightly, turned the paper, and turned the map towards herself.
She didn't hang up the phone, so Cheng Ye could hear Ling Ye's voice at this moment.
He couldn't help but ask: "Ask him if he knows where xx town is?"
Chu Yue repeated Cheng Ye's question.
Ling Ye drew a circle next to Star City: "It should be a township underground in xx city. It's not far from Star City. It's the nearest town."
Cheng Ye's breathing became heavier.
He got the exact answer.
This is my daughter's world.
Whether it was [malice] or the copy that Chu Yue received.
Essentially, in the same world.
As we all know, replicas set the map size.
Some are as big as a school and can only operate within the school.
Some are as large as half a city, and you can freely enter and exit the main locations that need to be investigated.
And some are as big as a country, like the [New World] that Chu Yue entered before.
Now, they're experiencing a copy of what may be the largest map ever created.
Because he can travel all over the world, and his clues are spread all over the world.
According to the level of this copy, it shouldn't be so large.
But it happens to be there, this is...why...
Cheng Ye said softly: "I'll hang up now and I'll be back later."
Chu Yue didn't ask any more questions and just said: "Okay."
Ling Ye looked at Chu Yue and asked, "Are you talking to Brother Cheng Ye?"
Chu Yue nodded: "Yes."
Ling Ye felt a little awkward. He moved his posture, thought for a moment and said, "Isn't communication restricted?"
Chu Yue did not hesitate: "When we were collecting supplies, we happened to get two communication machines, one for him and one for me. He just went out to check the situation. Communication at this distance will not be affected."
Ling Yeming understood that they had their own contact information, which never included him.
Yes, they are the real young couple, and he is lucky to have him.
These days, I am willing to take in a waste who can't do anything but only eat.
Ling Ye seemed a little disappointed, but this time was different from the past.
Perhaps it was because Cheng Ye was not there, or perhaps because he could no longer hold on any longer. He looked at Chu Yue seriously: "I, I have a question."
Chu Yue's eyes flashed with carelessness: "Do I have to answer?"
Ling Ye said stubbornly: "If you can, please let me know and it won't take up any time."
Chu Yue smiled, as usual, but it seemed a little strange to Ling Ye.
The smile before was warm and warm, but now the smile seems to be superficial and polite.
I don't know since when, he seems to have been being led around.
Wherever he goes, what he should do, what he eats, and what he does, he obeys Chu Yue.
This process was so smooth and silky that even when he boiled the frog in warm water, he still didn't react.
But just now, when he saw the address book, he suddenly woke up again.
He never fit in with either of them, ever.
He was just a companion along their journey.
Although I don't understand their purpose of doing this.
But he, but he really doesn't want to continue losing himself.
Chu Yue nodded gently, her voice as clear and pleasant as ever: "You say it."
"Why are you taking me with you?" Ling Ye asked, word for word, the sentence was extremely clear.
Chu Yue did not pretend to be stupid, nor did she have any mood swings.
She had known for a long time that Ling Ye was not the kind of person who could completely lose himself in two or three days, but she didn't expect that he still had the strength to resist.
In fact, it will be her last attempt in a few days.
After that time, she would leave this copy without looking back.
It doesn’t matter if you fail.
This is not a purgatory mode, it is a copy that can be exited midway.
They have the Museum of Dead Things as a transit point, and they can exit unsuitable copies at any time.
So at this moment, she didn't mind satisfying Ling Ye's curiosity in a small way.
"I like having you around-"
"Of course, I can also give you your freedom."
