Chapter 644 The Observed Glass House

While arranging spaceships to conduct a rough scan of the entire planet, Hao Ren knew that he and his team could not remain idle.

Many details will be hidden in inconspicuous corners around you. A spacecraft in space may be able to find the fortress hidden under the earth's crust, but it may not be able to find the clues left by the survivors when the doomsday comes.

A group of people gathered in a circle in the living room to discuss the current situation of this strange planet. Vivian folded her hands on the coffee table and spoke unhurriedly: "The biggest question now is why the indigenous people of this planet hide, and why do they leave such a strange city to trap them? Outsiders.”

The real-time news, entertainment programs on TV, and recently produced products and supporting advertisements all indicate that the human society on this planet is still functioning, but it is hidden in some unknown place. But now this deserted city is more like a closed observation room. Whether it is the Nangong couple who came here a hundred years ago, or the Hao Ren and his party who were just sent in, they all seem to be regarded as observation samples. . After Hao Ren expressed his conjecture, he received the support of everyone, especially Lily - this husky had just watched a lot of science fiction movies before coming here, and now she was full of conspiracy theories.

"They must have a purpose, because it is expensive to maintain the operation of this city," Yzaks knocked on the table, "Look at these supplies, the city's energy, the robots used for maintenance, and the things in the shopping mall - Most of it is kept until it expires and then thrown away. It's definitely not a joke that they keep such a large city running but only use it to feed two people."

Lily looked at the people around her, raised her hands and spoke: "I think first we should try to speak to the indigenous people of this planet. They can definitely see us, right? Let's ask them honestly what they want to do. If they don't Huiyin, let’s try to break through the city gate and see how the defense system reacts. If that doesn’t work, we can only fight... That’s better than no progress.”

Hao Ren looked at the husky girl with some surprise: "Okay, I didn't expect you to come up with a very positive plan. Are you going to stop being timid this time?"

"I'm already awesome!" Lily kicked Hao Ren under the table.

Vivian glanced at Lily: "Okay, how are you going to shout? Are you going to go directly to the balcony and howl at the sky?"

Lily stood up and walked towards the balcony without saying anything, leaving everyone looking at each other. Vivian shrugged: "I forgot that she usually goes to the balcony to howl at the sky when she has nothing to do - this is a bit psychological for her. There’s no pressure at all.”

Before she could finish her words, bursts of shrill and loud wolf howls came from the balcony: "Aww-"

Hao Ren shouted in the direction of the balcony at the top of his lungs: "Speak like a human being!!"

Only then did Lily react. She was shouting outside to ask the indigenous people of this planet to come out and talk. After shouting for several minutes, she trotted back to the living room: "It doesn't work, no one is paying attention to me, let's execute it." Let’s plan B.”

Nangong Wudi had been standing by and stared blankly at these lunatics. At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh: "This girl has a pretty good voice..."

"If this city is an observation room, then someone must be monitoring the activities in this area, and Lily's movements just now must have fallen into their eyes." Although Yzaks was a little speechless about Lily's convulsive behavior, he still had to admit it. This really makes sense, "Now we can consider forcing our way into the city checkpoints, which will probably force the locals out."

Everyone nodded, but just when they were about to go out for action, Elsa's voice came from the side: "Big shots, should you eat something before taking action?"

I saw Elsa standing at the door of the kitchen holding a big tray, with a smile on her face. Her lower body also turned into a snake tail like May, with a steaming cauldron rolled up at the end of the tail. , a strange smell of rice comes out of it: It seems that May's ability to use her tail to develop various strange uses and do housework is inherited from her mother.

Nangong Wudi immediately stood up with a smile and greeted the guests: "Come on, it's rare for everyone to get together, let's try my wife's craftsmanship first. Anyway, we husband and wife have been waiting for a hundred years, so there is no rush to leave now."

Elsa put the hot meal on the table. One dining table could not accommodate so many people, and half of them simply ate next to the coffee table. There are a variety of dishes on the table, and most of them are unheard of things, but fortunately they all taste pretty good and can be enjoyed by a group of people. Lily was especially not picky about food. As soon as she put her head in the bowl, the whole world basically had nothing to do with her. Hao Ren had to watch and hand her water at any time: this was also a tacit understanding cultivated by living together for more than a year.

Looking at the table full of food and her parents sitting at the table, May May's eyes turned red: "It's been a long time since we've eaten together like this..."

Elsa looked at Nangong brother and sister, her voice was slightly hoarse: "You were still half-grown children when your parents left... I didn't expect you have grown so big. How have you lived these years?"

"My brother and I traveled all over the world. I sold songs, and my brother went to catch ghosts. We were wandering around while asking about your whereabouts." May poked at the rice in the bowl with chopsticks. "It's been nothing for more than a hundred years." Clues, until I met the landlord later..."

Hao Ren turned to look at Nangong Wudi: "How did you learn the language and writing of this planet?"

He and his friends were assisted by translation plug-ins and could quickly master any language and text, but he was curious how Nangong and his wife learned this.

"Read books, listen to the radio, watch these screens..." Nangong Wudi pointed to the screen mounted on the wall next to him, "Although there is no one in this city, you can always see these things. In a hundred years, no matter how stupid I am, It’s time to learn.”

"Oh, yes, yes, watch TV!" Lily suddenly became happy, threw away her chopsticks and ran to turn on the "TV". After fiddling with it for a long time, she finally found where the switch of the thing was. There was a "click" and the screen gradually turned on. . Seeing this, Hao Ren reminded him: "Take it easy, don't damage other people's things!"

"If it's bad, let it be bad," Nangong Wudi shook his head and laughed, "When my husband and I first arrived here, we broke a lot of things, and even burned down a house because of making a fire for cooking - ha, There are always agency people to help clean up afterward."

Hao Ren smacked his lips: "The cost of living for you two is high enough..."

Lily clicked randomly next to the "TV", and the programs on the screen kept changing, from news to advertisements to entertainment programs, and even TV series and movies - just watching the TV content, it felt like there was something outside A prosperous world where everything is normal. After Lily pressed enough, she returned to the dining table and sat down, biting her chopsticks and muttering: "I once wrote a novel about a person who was locked in a room. The room had no doors or windows, only a mountain of cans and a TV, that person was born in the house and grew up in the house. All he does is watch TV, watch the prosperous world on TV, news and current affairs, and see the world. From the TV, he knows that he lives in a prosperous and huge world. In the city, he still knew that the country he lived in was at war with another country, and then suddenly one day the TV broke, and he broke through the wall and came outside..."

"Then what?" Vivian's curiosity was suddenly aroused, "By the way, you actually write such profound things?"

"Then? Then he fell straight down, falling endlessly - his whole world was that room, and there was nothingness outside the room, and nothing existed at all." Lily bit her chopsticks, "I wrote it It was a thriller.”

Vivian lowered her head to pick up the rice: "This story is not funny at all."

After hearing Lily's story, Hao Ren fell into deep thought. Finally he shook his head and pointed to the screen on the wall: "But the TV in your story doesn't broadcast real news programs - in your house Nor is one in the sight of an observer."

A news item is being broadcast on the screen. The content of the news is that the "Ministry of Security Affairs" and "Ministry of Development Affairs" have prepared for the slowdown of Planet Ark. A stern-faced host is urging residents not to stay in places prone to collapse. , to be ready to respond to the shock caused by the planet's first engine switch.

The Giant Turtle Yantai also received news at the same time: the propulsion engine of the wandering planet was reducing power, and several engine nozzles in the opposite direction showed signs of warming up.

This is where this city differs from Lily’s story: someone made this “glass house.”

Yzaks frowned at the news on the screen and suddenly stood up.

Under everyone's puzzled gaze, he came to the window and raised his hand to point to a building in the distance of the city.

The next second, a huge fireball exploded in the city, and the roar was like rolling thunder.
