Chapter 3 Strange

A dinosaur appeared in the subway station of Shangdu satellite city!

It's real, not the kind of tyrannosaurus rex with a cloth cover for spoofing!

This news made the Internet explode. No one knows how the dinosaur appeared. It is said that this ferocious monster broke into the crowd and prepared to kill. It was attacked by dinosaurs head-on.

Cracks and shards of glass, the car door that was almost opened, the platform floor full of messy objects, and the silhouette of a dinosaur photographed through the car window...

One after another, the pictures were reposted, and there was even a short video taken by the passengers who got off the bus, recording that the photographer approached the dinosaur jokingly, and screamed again and again when he found out that it was not a virtual projection.

The bloody mouth of the dinosaur was clearly seen, and finally the screen shook violently and turned black, only the screams and the footsteps of the person who took the video running up the stairs could be heard.

Netizens anxiously asked the source of the video, wondering if the photographer survived.

Fortunately, the photographer had no major problems except that when he rushed out of the subway station, he climbed the gate and fell down and knocked out a tooth. Because he was holding his phone tightly all the time, this video was also fortunately saved and was released as soon as possible. on the web.

Because the news was too ridiculous, it was deleted several times by various social networking sites, and was also ridiculed several times.

With more and more photos, there are more people watching, and there are some fake pictures mixed in to make fun of it.

At around 22:23, the Shangdu police issued an announcement, briefly stating that an unthinkable attack occurred on the satellite city subway line, resulting in the death of a station worker, [-] people were injured in running and pushing, and the source of the incident was shot dead. Further investigation is underway.

The wording of official announcements has always been very strict, and they even used the words "unbelievable".

In less than half an hour, there were tens of thousands of comments on that announcement.

"The source of the accident? It's good to just say that the dinosaurs are bad, why are you hiding it!"

"Upstairs, no one knows how the dinosaurs came out. Everyone is confused. We have to find out the truth."

"That's right, maybe it's a robot dinosaur..."

It is impossible to have a robot dinosaur. It is a living body with a beating heart, autonomous behavior, and thinking.

Lu Di put down the phone.

As a witness, he confirmed that some bloody and real photos were deleted, and some excessively panicked speeches disappeared with a single swipe, and disappeared directly on the Internet.

Compared with controlling public opinion, it is the most normal situation to admit that there is a fact and quickly launch an investigation, and wait until the results are available before describing the accident in detail.

This is China.

Lu Di walked to the window and looked at the flashing neon lights in the distance.

Shangdu is a big city on the southeast coast. It only took more than 20 years from development to prosperity.

Many years ago, it was just an ordinary city with a small population and surrounded by mountains.

With the great development of science and technology and the inclination of policies in the new century, Shangdu has completed the journey of other cities for more than 20 years at an astonishing speed in 100 years, and has become one of China's foreign business cards.

Especially the establishment of the Earth Federation (an ordinary person can't figure out why it exists, anyway, according to the news, everyone thinks it looks similar to the United Nations), and the global energy and aerospace industries are developing rapidly.

Shangdu is the first city in China to fully implement clean energy. It mainly uses graphene technology and solar energy. For people like Lu Di who have no house or car and need to rent a house in a satellite city, the biggest change is that the mobile phone can be charged for seven days. , As for the replacement of the gas stove in the kitchen with a new energy stove... He doesn't know how to cook.

Satellite city is a buzzword, not a formal term. To use the analogy of the capital city, it means the suburbs outside the sixth ring road, where housing prices are low and suitable for working as workers.

Lu Di is now standing in a 36-storey building, with ten households on each floor, and the largest household has an area of ​​less than [-] square meters.

Even so, the housing price is an unimaginable astronomical figure.

A young man from the inland, without a high degree of education, can have a stable job and an independent residence, which is considered an initial success, but of course it is very ordinary and inconspicuous.

There is no ideal. Lu Di's biggest wish is to be a salted fish, and his hobby is to sleep. He is a melon eater who has no value to the society and only hahaha.

However, it is not easy to be a salted fish, because——

"There will always be surprises, that's life."

"Pooh!"

Lu Di turned around.

The curtains were drawn automatically, and the room was suddenly dark. Lu Di folded his arms and looked at the sofa, "You call dinosaurs attacking the subway station an accident of life?"

If this is a small accident of normal life, then unemployment may be a major event when a meteorite hits the earth.

There were two people sitting on the narrow fabric sofa, a man and a woman.

The man wears a suit and tie, and the woman looks like a teacher with glasses and a bookish look.

"Lu Di, please keep your voice down." The female teacher's expression was very helpless, "The neighbors went to the property to complain about the meeting last time. The house is only so big. If everyone quarrels with each other, it won't turn the world upside down?"

Lu Di took a deep breath, he knew that he had a little bit of anger at work.

"I know what you are worried about. The situation was very urgent at the time. I couldn't care too much. I can only guarantee that there are no traces for tracking..."

"There must be another 'ghost legend' in Shangdu."

The man in the suit had an ugly face, and Lu Di ignored him.

The female teacher glared at her companion, and came over to smooth things over: "Forget it, you don't have to worry about debts. In today's situation, no one can do better."

There was a moment of silence in the room, and everyone's heart was heavy.

In a bustling city, people who live an ordinary life generally don't like "accidents".

This draws unwanted attention and risks exposure.

"...The rumors of werewolves and wild bears you heard today, I just went to the Internet to check, and there is indeed something wrong. It's not like the reports made up to bluff people, but there are too many true and false news mixed in. , it's hard to discern the real context of the matter." The man in the suit rubbed his stiff face, and then whispered, "Lu Di, maybe you don't have time to rest recently, we need you."

Lu Di's reaction was very flat, she just frowned slightly and said nothing.

His complexion was pale, and the moonlight shone through the cheap curtains, vaguely revealing an overly thin figure, who looked like a high school student who was growing taller.

But his expression was too calm, and there seemed to be a lot of things hidden in his eyes, without the impetuousness of a brat at all.

If you take a cigarette and take a few puffs while leaning against the window in this posture, you will look like a tired and lonely person living in this cold steel city, with no future in sight and no future.

"Everyone is a grasshopper on a thread."

Lu Di said calmly, then looked sideways at the blurred neon lights outside the window.

For Lu Di, this is a familiar yet unfamiliar place, so familiar that he can name every store in the block below with his eyes closed, but it is strange because this is not his hometown.

Shangdu, this bustling and densely populated modern city, has foreigners living in every building.

"...November, isn't it snowing in the town at this time?" Lu Di asked thoughtfully.

The man in the suit and the female teacher were taken aback for a moment, and then the atmosphere in the room eased a lot.

"That's right, the road after the snow was solidly frozen, and the wind was so cold that it could freeze your ears off." The female teacher recalled softly.

The man in the suit moved his mouth, but didn't speak, because he still prefers Shangdu, a remote small town and a new financial city on the southeast coast. Isn't it obvious where to live better?

Lu Di pointed at the table with his finger, and said with a blank expression: "Don't get involved in the matter of dinosaurs, we are all ordinary people, and we have no ability to take care of them. Also, don't go out casually at night these days, and don't do unnecessary things." Just pay attention to the vicinity of the community."

"Are you worried that the police will come here?" The man in the suit asked in disbelief, "No way?"

"Be prepared."

Lu Di paused for a moment, then said slowly, "I saw a very strange person at the subway station today."

"what?"

The man in the suit and the teacher looked at each other with serious expressions.

After all, from their point of view, their group is already strange enough, why are they still competing for this title?

"...He seems to be a policeman. By the way, he killed the dinosaur, and the bullet was very accurate."

Lu Di was thinking while recalling.

Although he had never seen a few people in his life who had locked the machine and shot at the target, in such a critical situation, they remained calm, made full use of the advantages of the terrain and objects, and did not miss every bullet. This is a talent.

"He saw you?" the female teacher asked hastily.

"Maybe? I'm not sure."

After all, across a car door, there is also a dinosaur breaking the car door.

Then the bullet hurt the dinosaur, and the dinosaur turned its head and rushed over. At this time, there should be no time to look at the people on the subway train.

"Maybe he is a retired special soldier?" The man in the suit still didn't understand what Lu Di wanted to say. After all, the "encounter" in this situation is almost impossible to meet again. He asked suspiciously, "So what is this person like?" Weird method?"

Lu Di thought for a while, and then said: "It's hard to describe...the main reason is that he is too far away from me, and he is hiding behind a bunker, so I can't see clearly. Let me describe it to you, he is like a black hole, you take it You can't see him through the telescope, and he is integrated with the darkness, it doesn't seem like a living being. When you find him, you find that his sense of existence is too strong, and all the colors and lights are directed towards the bottomless black hole."

This passage is messed up and illogical.

The female teacher and the man in the suit looked at each other.

"and then?"

"No, then, I said I didn't see clearly."

The expression of the man in the suit became subtle.

The female teacher hesitated to speak.

"...In short, he is different from everyone I've ever seen, isn't that surprising?" Lu Di asked back.

The author has something to say:

Lu Di: Thank you, I am a weirdo.

I found a stranger today, it's true
