At the end of July, the capital city was as hot as a simmering oven. Anton was already covered in sweat when he came down from the sixth floor with a box of dumbbells. The cheap T-shirt was almost soaked, and his chest and abdominal muscles were clearly outlined on his body.

As soon as I got out of the corridor, a head popped out of the window on the sixth floor, "Hey, domestic courier, remember to handle it with care!"

Anton's face darkened.

God, handle it with care, are dumbbells fragile?If I break it, it won't break.

"Boom!" Anton threw the box into the cargo box of the electric car.

The person on the sixth floor got angry: "You are deliberately finding fault!"

Anton gave him a middle finger.

"Oh shit, believe it or not, I'll beat you!"

Anton sneered and shook his chest muscles.

The sixth floor was silent for a second, "I want to complain to you! Do you hear me, I want to complain to you!"

Anton has already gone away on an electric bike.

In the courier industry, what you deliver is goods, and what you meet is people. There are all kinds of packages and there are all kinds of shippers. No one knows what they will meet next.

The electric car walks through the buildings like a busy worker bee. After leaving this community, it turns into Chunyang Xili, which is diagonally across the road.

Stopping at Block A of Building No. [-], Anton took out a small pink package from the cargo box.

He is familiar with this color, and he will deliver it to Unit 1204, Block A, Building [-] twice a month.

Colleagues told him that this kind of pink packets are high-end cosmetics from "there". A bottle of cream costs tens of thousands, and a full set of internal and external use costs at least 20. It is very popular among wealthy women in the capital. seconds back.

At that time, Anton didn't really believe it, but he believed it after meeting 1204's customers for the first time.

The 40-year-old aunt without makeup looks like she is in her early twenties, her skin is so tender that she can pinch water.

The elevator went up all the way, Anton came to 1204, knocked on the door, then lowered his head to tear the list on the package.

They recently changed the list, and the adhesive on the back is so sticky that it is not easy to tear off.

After finally digging a corner, the door just opened.

As soon as Anton raised his head, his eyes were wrong, and he was almost kicked three meters away by the opponent to fly freely.

What the hell is this!

What about Aunt Tongyan?Is it appropriate for you, a female monster whose face is drooping to the neck, to come out to scare people?

"My package! My package!" The female monster threw her hands like chicken paws at Anton.

Anton supported her forehead, "Look at the ID card, thank you."

He is tall and big, and the female monster is naturally not as long as his arms. She scratched the air a few times in vain with her paws, and rolled her eyes, "Xiao An doesn't recognize me?"

Anton said decisively, "I don't know."

He only remembered the aunt whose skin was so tender that water could be squeezed out, and he refused to know this woman with black eyes and wifi all over her face.

The female monster covered her face and ran away.

Anton rubbed his hands on his trousers, the touch just now gave him a shock.Is this still human skin?Sandpaper the whole thing.

After a while, when the female monster came back, a veil was covered on her head, "Here, ID card."

Check the names, Zhang Lingling, yes.

Anton held out his hand, "Thank you for paying the postage."

The pink packets are all postage to be paid, and the postage of 88.8 is also expensive, but those who can afford "over there" don't care about the postage.

The female monster threw out a hundred-yuan bill, snatched the package and ran away.

Anton dug out a ten-yuan, one one-dollar and two ten-cent steel coins from his pocket.After thinking about it, he stuffed the ten yuan back, and took out a few steel coins from under his pocket, "Ms. Zhang, I only have five or six dollars in change."

"You don't need to look for it anymore." A beautiful woman with bright eyes and teeth full of collagen turned out from behind the door, with a needle stuck in her neck, and smiled coquettishly at Anton, "Do you know me now?"

Anton's face darkened: "I met you after taking the medicine."

It turns out that the things "over there" can really make people come back in seconds... But it's disillusioned to "change face" in front of him like this, and the consequences of stopping the medicine are too horrible, so it's better than this No.

Seeing Anton's gaze resting on her neck, the beauty immediately covered her neck with her hands, slammed the door dryly, and roared inside: "Next time the delivery is late, I will complain to you!"

If you complain, you will complain!

Anton went downstairs, checked the information on the gun, and saw that there was not much work left, so he squatted under the shade of a tree and lit a cigarette.

Halfway through the draw, Uncle Liu, the cleaner of the community, ran over and handed him a promotional poster without saying a word, "I've been looking for you all morning, let me show you something good."

Anton looked at the poster, and saw a large golden circle of light on the background of the pitch-black cosmic nebula. Inside the circle, there were three figures in black uniforms walking towards the darkness. The child is straight, and the slanted shoulder on the right is slightly ruffled.A line of big gold letters below: Recruitment of Messenger Reservists.The next few lines of small characters are the recruitment requirements, as well as the QR code of the official WeChat account of the hotline and so on.

This is not a rare thing. There are many posters in the city. Some people may think this poster is very cool, but every time Anton sees it, he feels that these three buddies are gone forever.

Uncle Liu squatted next to Anton and pointed to the "abnormal physical fitness" column in the recruitment requirements, "I have lived to this age and you are the strongest I have ever seen. It is better to be able to eat at Shangguan's house than to deliver express delivery. The messenger group Learn about?"

When Uncle Liu mentioned the good official recruitment, it felt like a pyramid scheme.

Anton said nothing.

It's not that he doesn't know that the uncle has good intentions, but he is an unrestrained street person who loves freedom in his bones. He hates being restrained the most, so naturally he has no interest in eating official meals.

Seeing that he didn't make a sound, Uncle Liu continued his efforts, "Think about it, you can go to 'over there' after joining the Messenger Corps. I heard that 'over there' is great!"

Anton took a puff of cigarette lazily, "How is it going over there?"

"You are rich, you are more advanced than us."

"I think our side is fine."

Uncle Liu put on a serious face, "You don't want to see the world more while you are young, do you want to deliver express delivery for a lifetime? Let me tell you, it's really good there, you don't need to buy a house, the government gives you points, and you don't need a dime for medical treatment and medicine." Hua, there is a bonus for giving birth to a child! If I am still young, if I have to immigrate with my wife, I will give birth to them and bankrupt them!"

Anton sneered, "No one here will give you a bonus, and you won't have many students."

Uncle Liu became wilted for a moment, and when he thought of the five girls in his family, his heart pierced.How much dowry is this?

"But...it's really nice over there, you can have your own house..." What about here?After struggling for a lifetime, he might be able to buy a toilet in the capital.

Anton glanced at Uncle Liu with a sad face, and silently handed him a cigarette, "You think too much."

Is "over there" really that good?

Now the people all over the country love to talk about "over there", a parallel space in the world where Mao suddenly connects with them without knowing why.

In fact, it took nearly half a year to openly discuss "over there".

Although there have been many "spiritual events" in various places in the early years, the people only dare to spread some gossip in secret.The concept of parallel space is too sci-fi, who dares to spread it?I am afraid of being invited to drink tea.

It wasn't until a major accident happened half a year ago that the authorities gave a positive statement.

At that time, the Acropolis, which was only more than 100 kilometers away from the capital and had never seen a typhoon, was suddenly swallowed half by the tsunami, leaving a huge hole in the city after the sea water receded.

It is said that such a major natural disaster must have suffered heavy casualties, but this time no one was killed, and all the affected people were floating above the big pit like human-shaped hydrogen balloons.

Anton smiled unkindly when he saw the news pictures.

When the interview video was broadcast on the evening news, a person involved said: When the floor collapsed, it was as soft as a sponge, and the sea water was all balls, and some of them had crabs wrapped inside. It would be great if I could set up a net for him. Take two home and steam them to eat.

Then the crowd cried again.Where does he have a home? Half of the city has fallen into the pit, and I am afraid that the old Gaba dishes from snacks to big ones will no longer be available.

This large pit in the Acropolis is currently the largest parallel space passage in the country, and therefore there has been a fifth branch of arms, the Messenger Corps, that specializes in dealing with parallel space matters.

Everyone is curious.

Anton also privately searched for what a parallel space is, but the people who edited the entry never considered the feelings of ordinary people.

What multiverse is superimposed and collapsed, physics terms are flying all over the sky, Anton didn't understand any of them, and finally went to various wild forums to get a general idea.

It turns out that it is like looking in a mirror, not only the place is the same, but it is said that even the people are the same.There's you here, and there's you over there... Seeing this, Anton completely lost interest in "over there".

Everything is the same, so what the hell!Here the courier is exposed to the wind and the sun, and the courier is also exposed to the sun and the sun. Are the two of them touching each other and making fun of it?

Anton A: I met a female monster today.

Anton B: I also met a female monster today.

Anton A: Really?What a coincidence.

Anton B: Yes, what a coincidence.

Anton A: Hehe, nice to meet you.

Anton B: Hehe, nice to meet you too.

This Nima is crazy!Did you run over just to see a repeater?

After smoking a cigarette to bid farewell to Uncle Liu, Anton received a few more express mails in Chunyang Xili.

I glanced at my phone, it was 4:42 in the afternoon, and there was a delivery car at 5 o'clock every day at their branch, and if I couldn't make it, I had to wait until 9 o'clock in the evening.

Anton doesn't like the backlog of work, and the more work he does, the less work he has. He has no capital to procrastinate.

He always thought that the word "Beijing drift" was specially prepared for him.

Because he is really beautiful, others can go back to their hometown when they can't move anymore, even if they are orphans, there is an orphanage, but Anton doesn't even know where his "source" is.

The boss of the courier outlet said that he lived sloppily.As long as you can eat enough, you can only buy the cheapest clothes.Even his name was chosen hastily. The head of the circus picked him up in the east of Anjia Village, and his name was Anton... It's so lucky that he wasn't picked up in the west of Anjia Village, otherwise he would have rested in peace.

The survival mode of the circus is touring everywhere. Anton has rarely heard from them since he left, and since then he has started his "self-employment" life.

Everything depends on myself, but I don't regret it, because I am free.

So even if you meet a bunch of weird clients, you still have to do the work.

The electric car passed the speed bump at the gate of the community, and the dumbbells clattered angrily, giving them a sense of presence.

Anton showed a dark smile.Take it easy?Bump you!

咣 咣 咣!

咣 咣 咣!

Um?Something seemed wrong... Anton stepped on the brakes.

The speed bump is long gone, why is it still rattling on the asphalt road at the gate of the community?

Jumped out of the car to check the chassis, just bent down, and a small eggplant leather sports car stopped next to it with a creak.The driver was a big white and fat man. He bent over and groped around when he squeezed out of the car, muttering, "Where did the noise come from?"

咣 咣 咣!

咣 咣 咣!

Anton and Fatty raised their heads and looked at each other, and at the same time they found that the rattling sound came from under their feet.

咣 咣 咣!

咣 咣 咣!

The ground began to vibrate slightly, as if a high-speed subway was passing under them.

But there is no subway in Chunyang Xili.

咣 咣 咣!

咣 咣 咣!

"Xiao An, run, there's an earthquake!"

Anton turned his head and saw Uncle Liu running towards the gate of the community with a big broom.Behind him, the building in Chunyang Xili collapsed.It's not the kind of "lou crunchy" that collapsed down the middle, but the whole building "cracked" and disappeared.

At this moment, the ground stopped shaking and the rattling sound disappeared.

The sudden silence was disconcerting.

Anton subconsciously stretched out his hand in the direction of Uncle Liu, as if he wanted to say something, and then he saw that the asphalt road suddenly became as black as ink, and then his feet were empty, and he also "kucked".

At the moment of falling, Anton thought: I'm afraid it will be cold today.
