What is happening in this world?
Lin Li was confused.
"The eldest brother you call is Zhao Tiezhu, right?" Lin Li looked at Wang Ergou.
"Uh-huh!"
"Then the eldest brother's eldest brother is...Tom?" Lin Li pointed to the poster in his hand and asked the dashing Tom.
"Uh-huh!"
Zhao Tiezhu and others nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
Lin Li nodded and did not ask them for more information, but said to Zhao Tiezhu: "Tom should be in this city within a city, right? Take me there to find him."
The group of people in front of him didn't look very smart, so Lin Li stopped getting information from them.
"Of course! Big Dog and Second Dog, you continue to defend the city, and I will take Big Brother to find Big Brother!"
"Understood!" Ergou gave a lame military salute, "Have a good journey, big brother and big brother. I will always remember you at the gate of the city!"
"Why don't you speak like a big dog? You can keep your mouth shut like a big dog!" Zhao Tiezhu went up and gave Wang Ergou a slap in the face without any politeness. Then he smiled flatteringly at Lin Li and said, "Brother, that's not what he meant."
"It's okay, let's go quickly."
Lin Li had no time to care about these living treasures. He just wanted to figure out what happened here. Zhao Tiezhu led the way, and he followed behind.
The internal situation of this 'city' appeared in front of Lin Li, which was a bit... desolate.
Although there is no such extreme picture as ragged and skinny people, compared with the bustling Dawn City in the past, this place is already quite down and out. There are no traces of high technology. Lin Li even saw torches and lanterns hanging at the door, something that is incompatible with this era. .
The two sides of the street are still the original high-rise buildings - the only difference is that most of the upper floors are in dilapidated condition, but traces of human habitation can still be seen underneath.
At the bottom of the building, Lin Li saw some people working on various special plants, most of which Lin Li had seen when he returned last time. People seemed to be thinking of ways to use these plants.
Lin Li looked at his ID watch. It could be turned on now, but no functions could be used for the time being.
Zhao Tiezhu noticed Lin Li's actions and explained to him: "Brother, the signal tower in Shuguang City has been damaged, but there is a built-in signal in our stronghold. You can try to connect to this later."
"Yeah." Lin Li also guessed this situation and nodded.
The stronghold was not big. It didn't take long before Zhao Tiezhu led Lin Li to the innermost side of the stronghold and saw the two walls of Shuguang City.
As for Tom, Lin Li could determine his location.
Because there is an extra European-style palace here inexplicably...
There was also a flag planted on the top of the palace, with Tom's obscene smiling face waving in the wind.
Lin Li heard the sound of teeth crunching in his chest pocket.
"Secretary Yu! Secretary Yu!"
Zhao Tiezhu stood at the door of the building and shouted loudly without moving forward.
"What's the matter? Cat Brother just blew away the gray fog not long ago, now he needs to rest!" Within a few seconds, another person's voice came from inside the building.
Lin Li's face was strange, and the world was so small.
If you heard the voice correctly, it was Yu Nian.
Yu Nian walked out of the palace and froze when he saw Lin Li.
"Brother Lin! You're finally back. We thought something bad happened to you!" Yu Nian grabbed Lin Li's hand and said with tears streaming down his face.
If there wasn't a single tear on his face, Lin Li would have been very moved.
"I pray for you every day. I hope you can come back soon!" Yu Nian burst into tears.
Lin Li: "..."
It feels like I heard the exact same words not long ago.
Scored twice, right?
"Do you all have the same speaking skills?" Lin Li squinted at Zhao Tiezhu, who was a little embarrassed, "Have you been trained?"
"No, big brother, if there are any similarities, Secretary Yu must have plagiarized it." Zhao Tiezhu muttered in a low voice.
"Ahem."
Hearing the cough, Lin Li looked down at his collar pocket and saw Jerry looking at Yu Nian with a very dissatisfied expression.
"Ahem!" Yu Nian didn't notice the coughing sound, so Jerry coughed twice louder.
Yu Nian finally discovered Jerry's existence. He was stunned for a moment, then even more exaggeratedly burst into tears. He stepped forward and held Jerry's hand: "Brother Mouse! You are finally back. We thought something bad happened to you too. …”
Jerry smiled happily for the first time since seeing the poster.
Lin Li: "..."
Why didn't I realize Jerry's vanity was so great before?
"Okay, Yu Nian, don't worry about these things, take me to see Tom quickly." Lin Li said.
"Okay Brother Lin!" Yu Nian nodded vigorously, "Zhao Tiezhu, you go back to the city gate to guard first, and I will take Brother Lin in."
"yes!"
"Where's Tom?" Lin Li asked as he followed Yu Nian into the palace. It was just a superficial palace with no gorgeous decorations inside.
And the layout is quite similar to my original home.
"Right inside."
While Yu Nian was speaking, he happened to open a door in front of him, and the painting inside was displayed in front of Lin Li:
Tom was lying on his back on a long and huge sofa, with his hands behind his head and a gold crown on his head. Two white cats were holding huge cattail fans to fan Tom, and another cat was sitting on his knees. Beside the sofa, Tom was being massaged on his face.
Tom suddenly opened his mouth and pointed. The kneeling cat immediately understood, picked up a strawberry on the table next to him, wiped it with his hand, and put it into Tom's mouth.
While Tom held the strawberry in his mouth, he also deliberately held the white cat's paw in his mouth. The cat purred, quickly took out his finger, and then laughed meowingly.
Lin Li, Jerry: "..."
Lin Li shivered - greasy Tom gave him goosebumps all over his body.
Then he felt another wave of sadness and anger.
Lin Li was even a little worried when he heard Yu Nian say that Tom was resting. He thought that the 'strong wind' had consumed his energy and that Tom would be very weak now.
In fact... this kid is acting as King Zhou in Meimei, right?
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
When I was fighting in the dungeon, one mouse ate and slept well, and the other cat also ate and slept well!
I'm shaking with cold, when will I, a human being, be able to eat well and sleep well?
"Duang!!"
While Lin Li was still thinking, there was a loud noise in front of him.
Taking a closer look, it turned out that Jerry had run to the edge of the sofa at some point and had just taken out a huge mallet from behind and hit Tom hard on the head.
A one-meter-long red envelope slowly grew from the center of Tom's head, the crown, and stars appeared in Tom's eyes.
The three white cats were frightened by this situation and hid in the corner.
After shaking his head, Tom looked angry and stood up with his hands on his hips, looking for the culprit.
When he saw it was Jerry, his annoyance instantly disappeared and turned into a happy smile. He immediately leaned over and tried to hold Jerry on his cheek with two fingers.
Jerry felt a little embarrassed when he saw this - maybe he was too cautious.
Lin Li was about to express his feelings about the friendship between Tom and Jerry when he saw Tom noticed that Jerry had lowered his guard and picked up the gavel he had thrown aside. After showing an evil smile, he let go of Jerry and pulled away. distance--
"Duang!!"
Under the gavel, Jerry didn't have a long bum, he just turned into a rat piece.
Lin Li: "..."
It's because I'm superficial.
The revenge was successful, and Tom, who felt comfortable, clapped his hands in contentment. When he saw Lin Li at the door, his smile became even brighter. He trotted all the way, jumped up and hugged Lin Li's arm.
"Lin Li! You're finally back. I thought something bad happened to you!"
"I pray for you every day. I hope you and Jerry can come back soon!"
Tom's expression and forced tears expressed this to Lin Li.
"..."
Lin Li was numb.
Can you change the word?
Lifting Tom up by the scruff of his neck, Lin Li sat down on the sofa unceremoniously. Looking at Yu Nian who was watching his nose and nose, he asked aloud: "
Now that Tom is fine, I feel relieved. Yu Nian, can you tell me what day it is today and what happened in Dawn City during my absence? "
"Of course, Brother Lin." Yu Nian Xiaoji nodded. He didn't wonder why Lin Li asked like this, but started to answer directly:
"Today is November 20th."
Lin Li raised his eyebrows. The timeline had really jumped a lot. If I remembered correctly, the time when he went to Guobao Special Attack was October 31st. It was only three or four days in the dungeon, but it had actually been two days in the main world. Ten days.
According to this trend, I shouldn't be able to make a real copy for a day, but be realistic for a year.
“The change occurred not long after we escaped from the Gray Realm.
Didn't we find that the gray fog had advanced a lot further than usual?
If nothing else, the gray fog continued to advance during the remaining time, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
On the 9th, I was woken up by noisy sounds in the middle of the night. When I went downstairs to check the situation, I suddenly found that gray fog had spread into the city! "
"Wait a minute," Lin Li interrupted. He had expected this situation, but judging from Yu Nian's description, it seemed a bit outrageous. "There is such a long open space outside Shuguang City with no obstruction to the view. There were soldiers guarding the city, and the gray fog was visible to the naked eye, but it actually spread into the city silently?
What's more, many people go to the Gray Realm or the periphery to look for opportunities every day, and no one notices this change? "
"This... is indeed very strange," Yu Nian nodded heavily, "According to the soldiers who were still alive in the stronghold defending the city, the gray fog outside the city advanced very fast at that time. What is even more alarming is that when the soldiers Turning his head, he found that gray mist had appeared in the city.
Gray fog has the ability to prevent technology from functioning, so the intelligence network was blocked. At that time, they only had time to light up smoke to alert the city. "
"Grey fog appears from the city?"
Lin Li frowned fiercely.
"Yes, and I still don't know the reason." Yu Nian nodded again.
“The next day—a few hours of daylight to be exact, the gray beasts… rushed over.
It would be fine if they were just gray beasts, but... like the white gray beasts we encountered that day, there were three of them, rushing to the front. "Speaking of this, Yu Nian's expression became heavy.
"There are only three of them, but Shuguang didn't defend the entire city?"
There was no need to ask about the outcome of the battle. The current situation in Dawn City had already been told to Lin Li, so Lin Li asked.
"Yes."
"Is it so outrageous? We can't defeat three of them with the strength of a city..." Lin Li frowned. The last defeat relied entirely on his own fate. He didn't know what the white-grey beast's melee strength was, but in this situation, Lin Li still felt a little unacceptable.
Then what are humans doing? Awakening is useless, how can they maintain the previous balance?
"That's not the case." Yu Nian was a little angry when he said this, "The top management of Dawn City, they have run away long ago!"
"Not only the high-level dignitaries, but also the rich people in the big caravans ran away! After the incident, a master of survival like me, the first reaction was to find a hug for protection.
I actually tried to contact Brother Lin right away, but before I got a response, the ID card couldn't be used because of the gray fog coming in. Then I thought about going to the Li family. After all, I was also one of the nominally awakened ones.
I originally thought of protecting them, but actually I hid behind their escort. But when I arrived at the Li family mansion, before I could use my cunning plan, I found that people inside had already gone to the entrance of the building - looking at the situation inside, they were gone. Probably more than a day or two!
Then I went to visit several other large expedition teams in Dawn City, and all of them had left!
Having no choice, I ended up going to the city hall.
But... apart from people who wanted to seek asylum like me, those truly strong people, I didn't see any of them.
The awakened ones who usually guard the city hall all disappeared overnight!
After knowing this situation, most people quickly thought about running away. How can they fight against the gray beast? "
There is a conspiracy!
Lin Li, who was deeply poisoned by the system copy, thought of it immediately.
Dawn City is no better, it must be colluding with the gray beasts! Just like Xiao Guoding and Lu Xiaoguo!
Or they knew that the gray beasts were coming, but found that they couldn't defeat them or that they would have to pay a heavy price for defeating them. It was better to run away and leave the ordinary residents to die here, and at the same time delay the advance of the gray beast tide!
——The above is the conspiracy version Lin Li’s unfounded speculation.
"Wait, you kid, you know this and you still stay in Dawn City? Did I misjudge you?" Lin Li raised his eyebrows and asked, "Shouldn't you be running the fastest?"
Yu Nian touched his nose awkwardly:
"After realizing this, everyone wanted to escape. There were too many people, so a stampede occurred.
I have a friend who is relatively thin and his awakened abilities are useless. Although he was not trampled to death, his feet were unfortunately trampled and he could not run. "
Lin Li looked at Yu Nian's feet rising up and down, and nodded, "Sure enough," and said with emotion: "That friend of yours was so miserable. What happened next? How did your friend become Secretary Yu?"
"My friend... forget it, I was still being chased by the gray beast that came in. When I passed a building, Brother Cat suddenly fell from the sky."
"Then Tom saved you, right?" Lin Li looked at Tom curiously and asked.
However, Tom did not listen to the conversation between the two people at this time. He and Jerry were hacking each other with a big axe.
The ax touches the flesh, but there is no blood.
Long lost battle scenes.
"Well, that's not the case." Yu Nian shook his head, "Brother Cat was sleeping at the time. He seemed to have fallen from upstairs and fell into a puddle of mud in front of me..."
"Then I was about to cry in mourning, and Brother Cat bounced back to his normal appearance... He, he was still sleeping, rolled over in front of me and scratched his butt."
Lin Li: "..."
It fits the way Tom appears.
"Seeing Brother Cat sleeping on the ground, how can I, a person who has been favored by you, endure it?" Yu Nian immediately said indignantly, "So I immediately offered my body. I got under Brother Cat and let him I’ll become Cat Brother’s mattress myself!”
"?"
Something seems wrong.
Lin Li imagined the scene for a moment, and then asked unconfidently: "Did you just beautify the matter of 'holding Tom in front of you as a shield'?"
"Hehe." Yu Nian scratched his head in embarrassment, "It can be understood this way..."
Lin Li: "..."
"Brother Cat was the only thigh I could hug at that time. In fact, I thought you, Brother Lin, would be nearby, so I did this. I'm sorry." Yu Nian bent down sincerely.
"It's okay. Anyway, the victim is Tom. I'm very happy." Lin Li waved his hand.
Yu Nian continued:
"Then the gray beast's claw 'just' caught Brother Cat's back. Brother Cat was awakened by the pain, and he easily subdued the two gray beasts that were chasing me."
"Then I asked Brother Cat, Brother Lin, where are you, Brother Cat wrote and told me that you went outside to play.
Then I shamelessly asked Brother Cat if I could follow him. Brother Cat agreed, and I became Brother Cat’s henchman. In the stronghold, everyone called me Secretary Yu. "
I may use my last leave tomorrow, so don’t wait until midnight and spend the whole day.
The plot of the main world is not very long.
