Chapter 645 Blocking

A huge fireball rose at the other end of the city, and the huge explosion echoed in the cave city like a bell. Hao Ren looked at Yzaks in shock: "Old Wang, what are you doing?"

"Make a big news," Yzaks turned his head and pointed at the TV on the wall expressionlessly, "and wait and see if there will be reports."

Nangong Wudi and Elsa stared at the fire at the far end of the city, and they exclaimed in unison for a long time. Elsa sighed softly: "We didn't dare to make such a big noise back then."

Nothing happened in the ten minutes after the explosion. It wasn't until the fireball dissipated and the buildings near the explosion point were completely swallowed up by the blazing and unquenchable demonic flames that everyone heard sirens and some flashes in the distance. The oval-shaped aircraft with warning lights rushed towards the fire scene along the steel girders of the city's roof. Hao Ren stood on the balcony and looked far into the distance. With his extraordinary vision, he could see the situation in the explosion area: many machines and equipment were busy putting out the fire, and the roads near the fire area had been blocked. Some robots were directing traffic at the intersection. , passing vehicles chose to take a detour under the command of those robots. Hao Ren's attention quickly shifted away from the fire and instead focused on the detouring vehicles - he suddenly thought that since these vehicles were all operating under the control of a huge unmanned system, the relationship between them Coordination should be seamless. If this is the case, why do we need robots to direct traffic at intersections?

Is it just the bad taste of the city’s designers (or should it be called “watchers outside the glass house”)? In order to simulate human society here?

"We can take action tomorrow," Yzaks came from behind and said beside Hao Ren. "We'll wait a day to see what changes will happen in the news tomorrow. I want to confirm something."

This place has enough rooms and can be easily tidied up comfortably. Hao Ren and his party spent an uneasy first night in this weird city: starting from the second half of the night, there were always various things happening. Sirens came from other neighborhoods, and Yzaks' fireball caused more noise than imagined. Early the next morning, Lily was complaining about not having a good sleep last night, but to be honest, Hao Ren was quite suspicious: any of the guys around him could have insomnia, but this heartless husky... her brain structure Does it still support such a complex symptom as insomnia?

The group of people was killing time in the Nangong couple's house while paying attention to news reports that might appear at any time, and soon they got what they wanted.

The morning news began to play on the TV. A woman wearing a beige short coat and a professional smile appeared on the screen. She read the script with a slightly nervous expression: "...an urgent news. Last night in a neighborhood of 'Shenhe Station' A large-scale mysterious explosion occurred. Four residential buildings were completely destroyed at the moment of the explosion. More than ten other buildings were burned by the fire after the explosion. The total damaged area reached the entire block. The fire department has been working all night to put out the fire, and it has now stopped. Spread, but the fire within the scope of the fire has not subsided..."

Lily patted Yzaks hard on the back and said, "Big man, you made quite a noise."

Yzaks raised his chin calmly: "Don't worry, pay attention to see if there is anything wrong."

At this time, the announcer on the TV finished reading the script and suddenly the camera panned to the side: "...We have urgently contacted the chief of the Fire Safety Department of Shenhe Station, Mr. Wayne Rohm. Now please introduce Mr. Wayne Rohm to us. Research progress on the explosion."

A broadcast window appeared on the screen, and a tall bald man stood in the broadcast window: "...The cause of the explosion has not yet been investigated clearly. The last picture returned by the on-site monitoring equipment showed that the explosion suddenly appeared out of thin air, and a huge The fireball first formed in the air and then destroyed the signal at the scene..."

Half a day after this Wayne Rom balabala, the camera changed again. This time, an old man with gray hair and dark skin appeared. The voice-over introduced: "Loken, the commander of Shenhe Station, responded to the explosion..."

Everyone in front of the TV stared, stunned and speechless.

Yzaks turned around: "I guess the city we are staying in now is called 'Deep River Station'."

Hao Ren pointed at the figures appearing on the screen and looked at Nangong and his wife: "These are the commanders and officials of Shenhe Station... Why did the mayor appear again in this empty city?"

Nangong Wudi opened his mouth and waved his hands: "We have never heard of the existence of these people."

At this time, there was a sudden clicking sound outside the door, and everyone suddenly became quiet. Lily tiptoed to open the door. After a while, she returned to the living room carrying a newspaper that still exuded the fragrance of ink: "Today's newspaper... the front page The headline is the news about the explosion in the neighborhood. There is also a photo of the city's fire safety department chief, and the text below says that these big shots have come to the scene to guide the disaster relief..."

Nangong Sanba reached out to take the newspaper and gently twisted the paper: "It was just printed."

Everyone looked at the newspapers and TVs in front of them with horrified expressions, looking at the faces on them, which depicted such a normal world - Hao Ren suddenly realized that he should revise his initial guess.

"'They' are simulating the scene of human society still existing," Yzaks reached out and turned off the slightly noisy TV. "'They' are forcibly pretending that the world is still alive."

Lily blinked: "Who are 'them'?"

"Then we have to find the people behind the production of these programs and newspapers," Hao Ren took a deep breath, "Get ready, let's go out and make some noise."

The group had already cooperated tacitly, and everyone was ready to take action after Hao Ren made his decision. They walked towards the gate, Nangong Wuyue walked at the end, turned around and greeted his parents: "Dad, Mom, come on, this should be your last day in this city."

Nangong and his wife looked at each other and smiled at the same time. Nangong Wudi shouted to everyone who had already walked outside the door: "Just a moment, let me put on all the outfits I had back then!"

The Nangong couple have lived in this city for a hundred years. They had the opportunity to discover many secrets - and they should also be vaguely aware of some truths about the world around them. It's just that they are different from Hao Ren. They have no way to leave. The environment on the planet's surface is unbearable. In comparison, this weird and even fake city is their only reliable and stable refuge, so they never think about it. By debunking anything here.

But now, a group of guys who don't have to worry about their way out of the shelter have arrived, and this false glass house will soon be unveiled.

Hao Ren took the lead, leading his small team out of the residential area and walking along the avenue towards the end of the city. The lights on the city domes are turning on one by one, simulating the arrival of the morning sun, and more and more small robots are appearing on the streets like citizens going to work in the morning. They continue to wipe street lamps, clean railings, and clean streets that do not exist. Garbage, checking every empty bin on the roadside, making everything look lively.

People were walking on the city's main roads, with billboards neatly arranged on both sides of the road. All the screens suddenly brightened up at the same time, and began to play a bustling and peaceful time. The laughter in the speakers and the happy smiles on the monitor seemed to surround this small team.

The billboards on the roadside shouted: "...the shelter provides you and your family with the most meticulous safety services. We have dozens of kilometers of rock and steel protection. You will be far away from the coldness and vacuum of the surface world. Living in a safe and comfortable new paradise..."

A taxi loudly announced around everyone: "...Who wants to leave their stable home and go to an unpredictable place for adventure? Give up these young and frivolous naive ideas. You can take this car and go to the city center Spend a whole day in the newly built leisure square, and you will realize that it is more comfortable than any ice and snow place..."

A small cleaning robot circled happily at Hao Ren's feet: "Weijiekari Company, an expert in cleaning equipment manufacturing, provides meticulous hygiene services for you and your loved home - can you imagine a person who left Weijiali? Will the world of Jie Kali automatic equipment be so messy? You need Jie Kali, you need everything here, and you need a home that is always clean and comfortable!"

More and more robots and vehicles appear on the streets, as if the whole world is beginning to press in. Hao Ren reached out and stopped a taxi next to him. He looked at the blinking lights on the driver's seat and said, "Are you willing to take us out of this city?"

The taxi's console lights immediately dimmed: "Sorry, vehicle failure."

Hao Ren took out his silver spear and sidearm from his pocket, and winked at Vivian beside him: "It seems no one will let us take a ride."

A mighty mechanical army was gathering in front of everyone.

(There will be a power outage during the day tomorrow, so the update time can only be determined =.=)
