Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 2008 seemingly identical multiple-choice questions

The fact that two outsiders grabbed weapons and fought with the town police should be considered a major event in the usually lifeless Peanut Town—at least, Lin Sanjiu thinks so.

After all, it was just dinner time, and there was gunshots and bullets flying outside. How could the townspeople not be alarmed?

However, when she and Yu Yuan sneaked through the alleys of the first few rows of houses and temporarily hid under the shadow of a house's roof, the voice coming from the window made them both a little puzzled up.

"Did you hear the sound just now?" A woman's slightly vague voice asked through the wall, "It seems to be a gunshot?"

"What are you doing listening to the voices outside? Are you free?" It seemed to be her husband's male voice, who taught her a lesson, and then changed the subject: "Oh, old Pete wants to sell his land under the mountain, you can take a look at this advertisement ..."

The woman walked over rustlingly, and the couple talked for a while about the price offered by Old Pete and the quality of the land, and then they talked about whether his son had a mental illness that didn't like women.

In the shadows, Lin Sanjiu and Yu Yuan looked at each other.

This time, the data subject Yu Yuan didn't even need to tell her, she realized that another key point of "shaping Yu Yuan's personality" had arrived.

Regarding Yu Yuan's reaction, Lin Sanjiu's answer came both strongly and naturally, so Yu Yuan frowned almost immediately, and even in the shadows, he could vaguely see the condensed confusion on his face.

"What's the matter with these two people?" He asked in a very low voice.

Lin Sanjiu understood what he meant.

Just a few alleys away, there are countless pairs of town police boots hitting the floor tiles heavily.The orders for people to check all the alleys, the conversations on the intercom to exchange information, and the orders to open the doors with fists from door to door, asking for "temporary inspection"... Fragments of the destroyed daily order are disturbing in the evening The ground undulates and flows.

But at this time, in the house behind them, the hostess and hostess were gossiping about other people's houses, turning a deaf ear to everything outside the door.

"I saw it with my own eyes. As soon as Little Pete heard that Samuel was approved to learn maps, he immediately sent a lot of paper and pen materials, and said he would ask him for advice..." The host laughed and said: " Are you disgusting? Old Pete thought they were hiding it well."

Knowing that the pursuers were searching alleys and alleys, they should hurry up and leave immediately, but Lin Sanjiu and Yu Yuan seemed to be under some spell for a while, and neither of them moved.

In the distance, accompanied by the muffled sound of a door being knocked open, an exclamation sounded in the night.

"Yeah, I should send him to the hospital quickly..." The hostess replied, a little absent-minded, paused for a few seconds, and asked in a low voice: "Listen...are we getting closer? I heard before that two outsiders came, and they couldn't catch them..."

"What are you talking about? I didn't hear you." The husband said unhappily, "What can't you catch? I didn't let you take care of things. The most important thing for a person is to be yourself, live and work well, don't talk nonsense without basis if."

Yu Yuan quietly touched Lin Sanjiu's shoulder, and when she raised her eyes, she made a gesture, signaling that it was time to leave.

Lin Sanjiu nodded silently, and the two of them stood up stooping, and left quickly from under the wall. Before the town police had time to close the circle, they passed through an old apartment building - Peanut Town Now that the population is declining, the single-living houses are not enough to live in, and most of the shared apartment buildings are empty; the two entered an empty apartment on the first floor, turned out through the rear window, and entered a In the cool and quiet night.

After leaving the area where the gun battle took place, except for the faint footsteps and shouts from the sky, it was almost like an ordinary night—no, it was even quieter than ordinary nights; it was obviously dinner time, but only very occasionally After a while, the dishes collided with the cutlery.

It seemed that most of the townspeople were holding their breath, honestly, waiting for the night to pass without listening or watching, and to usher in another day that they were familiar with and nothing happened.

"Aoye Mayor's Mansion is in this direction," Yu Yuan compared to the front, and whispered, "But the front is a dead end, blocked by a row of houses."

In the row of houses ahead, every room was lit.Lin Sanjiu nodded, the thought in his mind that "Yu Yuan is not afraid of taking risks" almost appeared at the same time as his next sentence - "The fastest way is to break through the houses, what do you think?"

Little by little, she is calling her friend back.

When approaching a residential house in the farthest corner, Lin Sanjiu looked at Yu Yuan's back and thought in a daze.

The sweat, stains and unknown blood on his body mixed into a layer of steaming steam, as if melting away from the boundary of time; that emotionless data body was gradually fading away, the Yu Yuan she knew, Finally came out from the cold night again.

Yu Yuan was naturally ignorant of her emotions. After stopping at the door, he looked back at Lin Sanjiu, and then knocked heavily on the door a few times—shocking her.

"Who, who?" a man asked.

"Open the door," Yu Yuan ordered in a deep and rough voice on purpose, "Temporary inspection!"

As long as there is this order, it seems to be enough-the person behind the door didn't even ask to see the ID, and opened the door immediately.

When the man saw the casual clothes on Yu Yuan's body and the spear in his hand, his expression changed immediately; Yu Yuan would never give him a chance to react, and hit his chest with the muzzle of the gun, causing him to stagger back After a few steps, he retreated into the living room and threatened in a low voice: "Don't bark, or it won't be the muzzle that hit you."

Lin Sanjiu entered the room and closed the door, and exchanged glances with Yu Yuan, realizing that there were still people in the room.

At the back of the narrow and dim living room, under a tightly closed door, there are yellow lights and low voices—the people in the room seem to have heard nothing outside, and they are still talking in a low voice. speak loudly.

"Who's inside?" Yu Yuan still pointed his gun at the man and asked in a low voice.

"It's me, my wife," the man stammered, "she, she is having a class with a counselor..."

"Where is the rear window? Where can I get to the back of the house?" Yu Yuan asked.

The man waved his hand slightly in mid-air, and swiped across the living room table with empty bowls and leftovers, as if showing them how narrow the room was, and said, "Only in that room, there is A window to a back alley..."

In other words, the number of people they had to bring down and tie up changed from one to three.

The man didn't resist much, but was knocked unconscious by Yu Yuan's gun butt, and turned into a rice dumpling on the ground tied up by a sofa towel; Didn't notice anything outside.

The two approached the door quietly, Lin Sanjiu pushed the door open a crack as silently as possible.

Unexpectedly, there was only one person in the room.

There was a woman sitting beside the bed in the center of the room, even though she was in sight, Lin Sanjiu still didn't know what she looked like - because there was a huge black square machine hanging on her face, like a mask, firmly Clinging firmly to her face, even covering her mouth; the murmuring voice came from her earphones.

Is the so-called "class with a counselor" originally remote?
Lin Sanjiu was slightly relieved, and hurried into the house with Yu Yuan—this woman could neither see nor hear, but it gave them a good chance to get out of the window without disturbing anyone.

When the two were about to touch the window, Yu Yuan suddenly pulled her clothes.

Lin Sanjiu turned her head in confusion, for a moment she didn't understand what Yu Yuan wanted her to see; after a few seconds, she realized that he didn't want her to see, he wanted her to listen.

The voice faintly coming from the black machine earphones belonged to a man with a friendly and serious tone.

"...Continuing from Peanut Town, there are towns that have been destroyed by civil wars, drugs, and crimes one after another... Unemployed refugees, drug dealers, and gangsters are always looking for prey... They just last month In the news released, five innocent citizens died..."

Obviously, there was image information in that black machine; the woman's body trembled slightly, as if seeing something terrible.

"In order not to let the disaster continue to expand, Peanut Town implemented a rescue measure 20 years ago. Anyone who enters Peanut Town will be protected by Peanut Town, enjoy the safety and welfare of Peanut Town, and no longer have to be displaced... As you The beneficiaries of this policy have passed away from the chaos and danger of the outside world, and now they have a stable and happy life, a husband who cares and loves you, and a comfortable and warm house..."

Lin Sanjiu raised his eyes and met Yu Yuan's gaze.

"She was also one of those who were forcibly left behind..." she whispered, taking a step towards the bed.If she looked closely, she could even see the faint bluish yellow on the woman's body, which seemed to belong to bruises that hadn't faded away for a long time. "We saved her—"

"Do you think I agree with your judgment? Will I stop you next?" Caught off guard, Yu Yuan asked in a calm data tone.

Lin Sanjiu was startled.

She had obviously met the multiple-choice question "whether Yu Yuan can save the people who were forcibly left behind" once before, and she had already made up her choice; why did it come up again?
Is the situation different this time from last time?

She had to find out what was different about the situation this time before she could know how Yu Yuan would react...

"You used to live a selfish life outside the town and didn't realize that you were being deceived..." The person in the headset continued to speak, "It was Peanut Town that gave you a chance to start over..."

At this moment, the woman on the bed suddenly sniffled and nodded vigorously.

　I'm really sorry, I really hurt my muscles and bones when I moved this time, and it turned out that the update was delayed...

My old bed was of good quality but I couldn’t take it with me, and the new bed was finally made to fit together. When I fell asleep, it was so soft that it didn’t have the slightest support. Turning over at night felt like crawling out of a human-shaped pit... But Although the process of moving into a new city is tiring, costly and there are countless things to deal with and adapt to, I am still very happy overall, and it is estimated that the next update will gradually stabilize.

The sun has been shining these few days, which gave a good start to our new life; even my cat expressed his affirmation, because I don’t know why my building especially attracts pigeons, and they are so happy that they lie on the balcony door every day to watch cat TV, Forget about the pain of flying in a cat bag.
