Chapter 4 The Unlucky Rabbit and an Even More Unlucky World

Zheng Li, male, female, 19 years old in the Mood for Love (self-proclaimed).

A former government employee, after resigning, opened a consulting technology company on Blackwater Street. After working there for three or four years, he gained some fame and became the man on Blackwater Street.

High-end Consulting Co., Ltd. provides information services for large enterprises and large projects, and the transactions are all astronomical figures.

And Zheng Li's leather bag company has a total of two or three people, which is commonly known as the leather bag company, and they are not so picky.

Main business includes but not limited to third-party information consultant, reconnaissance/counter-reconnaissance business, human resources processing

sounds good?

Third-party information processing = printing and distributing questionnaires, detective work = investigating third parties, human headhunting intermediaries = poaching corners and paying intermediary fees on both sides, which is another way of saying it.

If there is no business, he has done it with children helping with homework, Didi beating people, and posting flyers and writing big-character posters in the middle of the night.

After all, this low-rent apartment on the Fourth Ring Road, which is also a studio, dormitory, and pet room, costs [-] rent per month, plus water and electricity takeaway, easily over [-] (yuan). Is it windy?

"To live, there will be consumption. To make money, business, not shabby."

Zheng Li himself is quite open-minded. In his words, one and a half black households start from scratch in less than three years. What's the shame of not crossing the moral bottom line.

And this kind of government list is what Zheng Li likes the most. On the one hand, the government is generous with enough funds, and the old guys can take care of it. things will do.

Well, that's right, Zheng Li has experienced what happened to the rabbit, and he himself is a transgressor.

To be precise, it is an old popsicle (come out of the frozen dormant chamber) who is not sure whether he is a transgressor. The current "Drinking Friends" program flow is revised based on his own experience, becoming more gentle and concealed , and more outrageously dirtier

"Ahhh, brother Zheng Li. The water suddenly became super hot! It's hot!"

The little rabbit ran out in a panic, wrapped a scarf, and brought out water marks and footprints all over the place.

With the figure of a rabbit, this towel is too small, and Zheng Li can't help but feast his eyes on the wet big white legs and plumpness.

But Zheng Li got up quickly and handed over the change of clothes. The gentleman turned his head and blocked the remote control on the table with his body. The numbers on it were a bit eye-catching.

[Shh, 67 degrees, awesome.It's almost familiar with a normal person. 】

No, the high temperature tolerance ability of the Moon Rabbit race is at hand.

Using the standing mirror on the side to observe whether the other party was burned, Zheng Li was amazed at the same time, and threw the remote control into the drawer.

Although theoretically she should still not be able to read the local characters and numbers, but these days the aliens have too many messy abilities, so professionals should be more cautious.

As for this routine, is there a design that feasts the eyes by the way and says that no one believes it?

Professionals do things reliably, and they have to do a full set of acting. While comforting the rabbit, Zheng Li got up and went to the bathroom to check if there was any problem.

"Tsk, it's so hot."

"I remember that ordinary human beings will feel pain at 40 degrees, and they will be burned at 50 degrees. According to the designed program, 50 degrees passed 65 minutes ago, and they were cooked at 6 degrees for [-] minutes. There are traces of burns on the body. Almost [-] It was only at a certain speed that I felt hot, and with this tolerance, Wu suspected that she was a race of biological weapons made by gods, which is really possible."

There is no need to put his fingertips in. Zheng Li knows that the hot water can be used to make soup just by the oncoming steam and burning sensation, and he once again voted for the "biological weapon theory" from the bottom of his heart, and has become more vigilant.

It is impossible to directly turn on the switch and put the water into the sewer. The extra mechanism allows the hot water to roll directly into a prepared water tank.

Even though it has been proven that this rabbit is relatively environmentally friendly, unlike some aliens who have serious ecological pollution, this box of alien rabbit soup is still a biological material required by the Administration.

The hair that falls out and the excrement collected in the toilet must be sent to the warehouse for inspection.

Even if there is no research subject, for some reason, the biological materials of alien creatures, especially the fresh materials that have just crossed the border, are hard currency in this world.

"Er. You have nice hair."

Looking back, Lan Mengqi (lan.moge) was still wiping her wet hair with a towel.

Picking up the empty "bath gel" bottle on the ground, the young landlord let out a sigh that made the rabbit feel a little out of place.

"Thanks. Uh. Huh."

The smirking rabbit didn't understand, but Zheng Li was lamenting that he had used half a bottle of powerful depilatory and depilatory agent, and mixed it with shower gel to smear his whole body, and this guy still "doesn't pull out his hair".

"This powerful potion is a special product provided by the Administration. Even a half-dragon subhuman will lose a few scales after washing it. She doesn't feel it at all. Is it a biological structure that is not right? Natural drug resistance? Or the racial characteristic of not shedding hair? ?”

At this moment, it showed Lan Mengqi's racial characteristics that the middle-aged uncle was extremely envious of.

"It's so hot all of a sudden. Is this common? My previous accommodation didn't have water and electricity. Am I the only one who is unlucky? How can I wash it when it's so hot?"

The rabbit is not a fool, she also feels that she is too unlucky, and vaguely feels that something is wrong, it seems that she has been targeted by something.

Zheng Li smiled, "Of course it's not because you are unlucky. Newcomers always have to suffer a few times. This is a long way to say it. Let's go to the living room. By the way, the hair is so long, it must have been a long time, I There are tools here, let’s talk about it as we deal with it.”

Ten minutes later, the rabbit looked at himself in the standing mirror in front of him with a dazed expression. The man wore a pink rabbit apron, skillfully cut her hair and told her some common sense of life.

"Hehe, it's so itchy. Manual hair treatment? Is it your tradition? We do the design on the beauty instrument, and then lie in it for one-time styling."

"One-time shaping technology? Even beauty care is automated. It seems that your world is quite advanced in technology, so my next explanation will be easier."

Zheng Li's technique is very good. He also massaged her hair at the same time. He touched the sensitive spots of the rabbit with two tentative techniques, and rubbed her to relieve fatigue from time to time.

Having not been treated tenderly for too long, the tired rabbit squinted his eyes to enjoy, but did not notice that Zheng Li threw the cut hair into two different trash cans.

The silver-white hair fell on the garbage bag, but under the dim light, it reflected a light blue metallic luster.

"My, Authority's, My, Authority's, My, My, My, Authority's, My, My"

Uh, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this allocation, one large and one small piles.

But Rabbit didn't have time to pay attention to these things. She had been misled by Zheng Li's words.

"For aliens from the world of technology, the common sense that needs to be corrected is that electrical appliances are unreliable here."

Before the words landed, the whole room was suddenly dark, and the lights outside the window were extinguished at the same time, giving the most convincing interpretation.

"Amendment, any technological product is not trustworthy in this world."

The sudden power outage didn't surprise Zheng Li in any way. At first, he was tormented enough, but now that he's used to it, he just sighed and didn't stop working.

Technological creations cannot be trusted?At this moment, Lan Mengqi was stunned. She couldn't imagine how to live in a world that couldn't trust electrical appliances and other technological products. Can it still be called a civilization? Is there still a need to develop technology?

As a new outsider, Lan Mengqi was still digesting the thoughts brought about by this news. Many thoughts and ideas made her confused for a moment, and the severe pain interrupted her thoughts!

"Ouch! You cut my ear!"

The darkness fell for only a moment, and the unlucky rabbit screamed again.

"Bleeding, woo, it hurts."

"Sorry. Sorry, I was distracted. Hemostatic bandage, hemostatic bandage, where did I put it? Let's block it with a tissue, where is the tissue?"

"On the table, on your right! Yes, right there, bring it to me, and I will do it myself."

In the chaos, Zheng Li helped Lan Mengqi stop the bleeding, but Lan Mengqi, who couldn't stand it anymore, grabbed it by herself and quickly tied a bow on her long ear.

Not to mention, a little blockage really stopped the bleeding, which is really an enviable racial advantage.

In the pitch-black room, the light blue crystal pupils also burst into tears. Even though it was pitch black, the "expert" Zheng Li who was being stared at was full of apology and uneasiness.

[The red blood has excellent night vision ability, strong environmental adaptability, self-healing physique, and thick-skinned ones need spiritual power to break through defenses, and one more vote for the theory of divine weapons! 】

The white aura on the "murder weapon" scissors flickered, and the apologetic young man threw the blood-stained tissue into his "trash can".

"Natural science is the accumulation of theories and knowledge for the study of natural laws and material connections. The 'axioms and truths' accumulated in the process of research and discovery are the cornerstone of its application. Modern technological creations are basically supported by corresponding scientific and technological principles. But imagine, if nature The laws themselves can be rewritten, so are the technological creations based on them still trustworthy?" "That??

"The laws of nature and the constants of matter will change, and the cornerstones of the underlying theories are all floating, so the seemingly reliable technological creations cannot be reliable."

The morning glow in the sky has faintly lit up the whole world. She breathed in the cool morning air, leaned on the railing, and counted the three moons above her head that had not yet completely set. This completely otherworldly scenery made Lan Mengqi have to... Acknowledging the fact that he is already in another world, and it is very likely that he will not be able to return to his hometown.

She was so tired last night, she was scalded and bled a little, the extremely exhausted Lan Mengqi took up the bed and went to sleep without thinking about it.

Now that I woke up in the morning, looking back is full of thoughts and fears.

"The laws of nature and the constants of physics are uncertain. Isn't the technological civilization based on the laws of nature just like sandcastles on the beach? Just waiting for the day when the big waves hit"

Looking at the gradually waking streets, Lan Mengqi is also thinking about her future. If she really can't return, she must also think about her future life.

Physical constant variable?Because it was too contrary to Lan Mengqi's scientific common sense, Rabbit didn't believe it at first, until Zheng Li gave him a live demonstration.

"You have night vision? That's really convenient here, help me see, in the distribution box"

Zheng Li at the next window listened intently until someone shouted outside.

"Wire Six, Line Six, Nickel Wire."

Then I glanced outside, and after confirming that some rooms were gradually lit up, rather than suddenly bursting into flames, I continued.

"Line No. [-] is the sixth switch from the left, just press it."

Lan Mengqi opened the indoor power distribution box, a total of 21 switches were shocking.

And after pressing it, after a "click", the lights in the house also turned on, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

"The Administration should have popularized the observer effect to outsiders, right? That's good. Among the high-dimensional observers of the human hostile side, there is one who controls the authority related to metals. He will randomly switch and revise the metal resistance constant. Light This one, we have been tossed enough."

"It's not just as simple as wires. Most of the heater equipment that burned you just now is based on the principle of resistance heating. This is just a microcosm. Modern technology can also be called electrical technology. Metal resistance is variable, and power networks are also It becomes unreliable, and we only have multi-line preparations. Fortunately, he can't distort all the metal resistance constants at the same time, and there will always be something useful."

"But that's not the most ruthless thing about that big guy. During the big collision, it locked the transformation of the atomic core of high-atom metal particles. I don't know the specific principle, but it is said that 'metals are forbidden to transform each other', that is Locked out most thermonuclear reactions and rendered most nuclear weapons useless."

"Uh, your civilization doesn't have nuclear weapons? But there should be similar ones, large-scale strategic weapons, and there are space-based laser cannons for individual soldiers? It's amazing, my rabbit, you understand it this way, he makes your satellite The laser has become a searchlight that can only be turned on randomly. The abolition of nuclear weapons is just the beginning. In the big collision, our civilization will encounter an asymmetrical blow.”

What Zheng Li said yesterday, now that Lan Mengqi carefully reviewed it, even with her unreliable high school education, it sounded more and more frightening, more like listening to a horror story.

"What a terrible world. Not only is the technology tree a mess, but there are so many traversers and weird guys. It sounds like it's still during the war. If you can't go back, is it safer to hide in a barren mountain or old forest?"

On the streets that are gradually waking up, there are already people jogging and others preparing to sell their stalls. People come and go in a hurry, but their faces are calm and comfortable. It seems that it is a normal peaceful era, and everything is not so bad.

The street is quite wide, but the vehicles passing by are strange.

What puzzled Lan Mengqi was that many of the vehicles were drawn by primitive animal power. Could it be that the technology tree in this area has also been distorted?

A large car painted with a red flame logo was parked downstairs, and several occupants in the car were wearing light red full-coverage protective clothing.

And water cannons and ladders?From the fire brigade?

Lan Mengqi was still wondering, two men in uniform came down, smoking a cigarette, took out a water pipe from the side of the car, inserted it into the reservoir to pump oil?

Lan Mengqi wiped her eyes, the greasy taste and color are really the ultimate destination of carbon-based organisms, black gold oil is right!

"I didn't notice it when it was dark yesterday. The oil was just placed on the street like this. Even if you don't worry about being stolen, if someone throws a fire, that guy is still smoking."

The oil reservoir was just downstairs, and the timid rabbit instinctively took two steps back, shrank under the railing, and began to seriously consider whether to change his shelter.

Looking at the huddled rabbit, Zheng Li, who just woke up, was angry and funny.

Just this courage?God made weapons?Spy of the gods?Are you thinking too much on your own?

But the explanation still needs to be explained. If the rabbit really runs away, as the watcher, I won't be in another pile of troubles.

"Don't worry, it's safe."

As he said that, under the gaze of the rabbit, Zheng Li took out a match, lit it and threw it away.

"boom!"

With a bang, Zheng Li felt pain all over his body and almost fell unconscious.

It wasn't an oil and gas explosion, but Zheng Li was slammed into the wall by a certain rabbit!

The rabbit was too fast, the distance was too close, and it suddenly exploded. There was no time to react, and it directly punched Zheng Li against the wall.

Lamenting again that this guy's physical ability is really terrifying, and he still needs to maintain vigilance, Zheng Li patted the shivering fur in his arms, signaling that everything is safe and nothing happened.

"It's okay, it's okay, our oil here is non-flammable."

It's just that the consolation didn't seem to work. The rabbit who fell into the state of "don't listen, don't listen" was shaking like that, and Zheng Li, who had strong hands, couldn't pull away.

Life and death couldn't be separated, and as a result, he could only look up helplessly at the sky, and was pulled to shake together.

For a long time, it seemed that the sound of the explosion could not be waited for, and the crystalline pupils that finally looked up were filled with tears. The round face was as pale as a white jade egg, but the two ears were pointed and straight to the top.

Rabbits are really sensitive creatures that can be scared to death by loud noises. If you really use this thing as a template for a god-made weapon, that high-dimensional being can't imagine it. Zheng Li, who is about to be shaken to pieces, sighs inexplicably.

"But, uh, I seem to understand a little bit."

After comforting me for a long time, and repeatedly promising myself that I would not do such "scary" things in the future, the rabbit finally got up from Zheng Li's body, crawled tremblingly across the aisle, tilted its pointed ears out, swayed from side to side, and poked around for a long time After confirming that it was all right, he slowly stretched out his head and looked down.

"It's really not lit, and the firetrucks are gone."

Shaking his head, Zheng Li stood up, struck another match, and threw it down.

"Whoosh."

This time Lan Mengqi didn't bump into it, but bent over at high speed, hiding behind the railing, only showing her eyes vigilantly.

"Hey, really, it's off, it's off."

Seeing the rabbit jumping up and down cheerfully without wiping away tears, Zheng Li sighed that there was nothing there.

"After sensing the danger, the instant explosive power has been upgraded again, and I will change the report later. The instant action is almost gone. When in the explosive state, the agility and strength are close to our level after a sharp change. It is really unique. Innate advantage, after incorporating it into the Spiritual Blade system, just the basic physical evolution alone can reach the height of an elite boundary defender! The value of the sample has to be raised to another level. Poor rabbit, I am afraid you will still be Intensify the persecution"

On the bright side, Zheng Li answered Lan Mengqi's doubts with a smile.

"Fortunately, it's me. It's really hard for other people to explain it to you. In their minds, oil was probably inflammable from the beginning. It is said that this is also a matter of the era of big collisions. A high-dimensional existence came to say 'Petroleum is never combustible', even the entire composition of oil has changed."

"The chemical industry, fertilizers, plastics, medicines"

"Some just disappeared, and they haven't recovered yet. Some have to start over, anyway, they are quite unreliable. Even now, there will be situations where chemical products, medicines, and gunpowder formulas that could be used before suddenly become ineffective. Many Companies are not willing to invest.”

Even Zheng Li was extremely shocked when he first learned about it.

The first thing he thought of was that the war between the planes would be so miserable, and it really wasn't a coincidence.

Just imagine, in the period of great collision, the modern armies of human countries will face alien armies. Strategic nuclear weapons will be locked, vehicles will be scrapped, and even the guns and support artillery in their hands may fail. Great luck.

"Now, oil has become the liquid with the highest ignition point. Look at those disaster relief bureaus, they all pump oil to put out the fire. Oh, yes, oil is the old name. Now the disaster relief team is pumping black water."

The rabbit tilted its ears. The name seems familiar?

"Black Water Street?"

"Well, that's the name from here. Black water is quite safe, and every household must have it. You see, I have a bucket in my kitchen. When the electrical appliance catches fire again, it will be gone when it is poured on it. Excellent fire extinguisher."

Standing up tremblingly, looking at the extinguished matchstick on the oil surface, Lan Mengqi, whose world view had been subverted again, felt that the road ahead was a bit bleak.

"Electric fire?"

"Well, although home appliances these days follow the simple and crude routine of 'the principle is as simple as possible, the material is as strong as possible, and the response to power failure is as fast as possible'. But fire is quite common, just get used to it."

The rabbit's head turned into a rattle, and it seemed that he felt that he couldn't adapt to life and death.

At this moment, countless terrifying images flashed through her mind, such as an electric razor that suddenly exploded and disappeared, such as a massage chair that turned into a rabbit rack when pressed, or an electric blanket that turned into a rabbit when she fell asleep in the middle of the night. The more I think about it, the more I think about it, the more afraid I become, and the rabbit is already subconsciously preparing to slip away.

"Sure enough, big cities are still too dangerous. Find a place to live in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests!"

I also realized that I was a little bit overwhelmed, and I guess if I frightened twice, the rabbit would really slip away, Zheng Li quickly made up for it.

"If you're not used to it, you can use artificial spiritual tools. In fact, in this era, there are very few people like me who use electrical appliances to stick to the old-fashioned way of life."

Touching his chin, Zheng Li's face was full of nostalgia. He also made a lot of jokes back then, for example, the design of the rabbit soup yesterday was based on his own actual experience.

Heh, who knew that even to take a hot bath, you need to boil the water and then turn off the electricity. I didn't have these careful guides at the time, so I almost got used to it.

"Spirit weapon? By the way, I've heard of it before, but I haven't seen it."

"Isn't it in your hand?"

Lan Mengqi subconsciously looked at her right hand. On the olive wristwatch, the tear-shaped gemstones shone with faint fluorescence, as if she was looking into her own eyes. .

Instant translation, live broadcast, online chat, floating in the air, positioning, this artificial spiritual weapon is really black technology.

Touching the tearstone on the watch, this time, Lan Mengqi could vaguely feel the connection between herself and it. It seemed that it was really a living thing?

"There is a problem with the technology tree, except for tinkering and continuing to use it. Naturally, there is a choice to learn from each other's strengths, start a new one, and rebuild a new one. Many technological creations have substitutes for psionic systems. In this era, perhaps there is no comfort in your hometown. But it's not as bad as you imagined. At least within the fourth ring, safety can still be guaranteed."

A little consolation, seeing the rabbit still looks worried and frightened, and I know that words are probably useless.

"You haven't registered your ID yet, right? You can't use other artificial spiritual tools without an ID. Let's go, I'll take you to the city hall and get your first spiritual blade along the way. It's a pure benefit. As for Those high-dimensional beings, oh, the so-called gods"

Hearing Zheng Li mentioned "gods", Lan Mengqi pricked up her ears. This was what she was most worried about after learning about the world. She had no faith, and really couldn't understand these seemingly omnipotent existences.

How can an existence like this change the rules of the world with one word?

"Even if it is a real god, we have already killed three of them!"
