Zhang Luotuo froze for a moment because of his sudden change of subject. When he understood what he was talking about, he immediately opened his mouth.I come.He wants to say.But before he could say it, Joad was already standing in front of him.

"Me." Joad said, Zhang Luotuo raised his head, he could only see Joad's back, Joad covered his sight like a tower, and the wind and gravel disappeared.Before Zhang Luotuo had time to think about it, he took a step forward and held Joad's hand to block him.

"Me together." He said word by word, non-negotiable, ignoring Joad's gaze staring at him.Joad frowned and shook his head slightly at him, but Zhang Luotuo just pretended not to see it.

Lu Xing looked at them with great interest, did not speak, and did not make a decision on who to let step towards the south wall.Seeing this, Zhang Luotuo walked straight towards the spaceship.Joad noticed his movement and immediately followed his pace, paralleling him.

"Wait, I can consider joining your plan to escape from the city." Lu Xing's voice suddenly sounded behind them, and Zhang Luotuo turned around in surprise.Lu Xing looked extremely small in this wilderness, and his appearance was unpredictable. After he finished speaking, he looked at the reactions of the two of them calmly.

"What's the condition?" Joad asked calmly, he knew Lu Xing well.

Lu Xing laughed, as if amused, he opened his arms and tilted his head: "As long as you can hit the south wall for more than 3 minutes."

He looked at them strangely, squinting his eyes, waiting for their answer.

"Deal." Zhang Luotuo said without thinking about it.

"This is for you." Lu Xing threw a small black cube, and Zhang Luotuo took it from the air. It had a frosted texture, like a miniature intercom.

Lu Xing said provocatively: "If you can't stand it, tell me through this, and then stop the spaceship."

They got into the spaceship.Joad was sitting in the cockpit of the spaceship, Zhang Luotuo was sitting in the co-pilot of the spaceship, the door was closed, the sound was cut off, Lu Xing waved at them, opened his mouth wide, and said something, but Qiaode and Zhang Luotuo could not hear clearly .Zhang Luotuo put the intercom in the middle, through which they could hear Lu Xing's voice and orders, but no one turned it on now.In fact, they turned on nothing, and Joad sat in the driver's seat, ignoring the engine, horsepower, or air regulator, and he just sat sullenly, motionless.Zhang Luotuo knew why he was so angry. He lowered his head and fastened his seat belt without saying a word.

"You shouldn't have come." Joad finally spoke, his voice almost whispering, "You know exactly what he said about the 'South Wall'."

Zhang Luotuo was silent for a while, they all knew what that word meant.south wall.When Lu Xing said that word, he remembered it. Jod mentioned something similar to him when he was at Fan Liu's house. Jod called it a program set by Mars. The program was distributed at the city's exits. This The program is hooked into their brains, and once someone tries to pass through the neurons in their brains, it will feel pain, and if it continues, it will automatically collapse.Judging by Lu Xing's description, maybe this is the south wall he was talking about.

"He's from the management department, doesn't he know this?" Zhang Luotuo said.

"Only I know about this, and you." Joad replied in a low voice, "Mars has some secrets that he only told me because I'm the head of the management department. And this is one of them." He leaned back on the chair , lowered his head, avoiding Lu Xing's sight, pretending to be driving some software on the spaceship, his gray eyes swept over Zhang Luotuo.

"Then do you know that Mars also installed a virus in your brain, so that you can't leave here like us?" Zhang Luotuo whispered.

Joad was silent for a while, Zhang Luotuo thought he was angry for a moment, but soon Joad's voice sounded again: "Actually, I guessed it." He said calmly, "A long time ago, it was impossible for Mars to be red. Chidi put us on the earth, and was not afraid of us escaping. It must have set up some obstacles to guard against us, but then..." He didn't finish, but Zhang Luotuo knew what he was going to say. At that time, Qiao De thought He can return to Mars in four years and see the moon that never sets, so he never thought of running away, and he was never afraid of the virus.

"In this case, why did you come up?" Zhang Luotuo said anxiously, "You know it's dangerous, and you also know that Lu Xing's 'south wall' is actually a program, but you didn't choose to tell him, but came directly to the spaceship Face the danger."

Joad unscrewed the key anxiously, and the spaceship hummed lowly. He explained in a low voice, "I used to be his friend, and this is the only way to make him trust me again. This is what I owe him, and I owe it to you." Ruined his friend, I have no other way, I can only guarantee it with my life."

Zhang Luotuo didn't speak, but it didn't mean he was convinced by this statement, he was still frowning.

Qiao De looked at Zhang Luotuo anxiously, and said with some blame in his tone: "Then why did you come up? You shouldn't come up." He stretched out his hand, trying to unbuckle Zhang Luotuo's seat belt and drive him down, but he couldn't do it. Zhang Luotuo tightly grasped the bond, raised his head, and stared at Joad stubbornly, his hands fought against the hands that Joad wanted to protect him, he felt something beating in his chest, making him try to keep it Firm and angry, bump.bump.That voice made him courageous.

He met Joad's sight and shook his head: "Because you are here." He said word by word.

Joad froze, and for a moment he seemed speechless.Their eyes are intertwined, as if frozen in time and space.A heavy "dong dong" sounded on the left side of the spacecraft.They turned their heads, and Lu Xing stared at them impatiently outside the spaceship, and the stones in his hands hit the spaceship one by one.He pointed to the intercom in his hand.

"Open." He made a mouth gesture.Joad lowered his head, picked up the intercom, stared at it unconsciously, played with it for a while, but didn't turn it on, he seemed to use it as a relaxation device for thinking.Zhang Luotuo looked closely at Qiao De, not daring to breathe.

Joad pressed the switch button of the intercom with a "snap". He sighed, turned his head, and said to Zhang Luotuo, "Fasten your seat belt." His voice was very helpless.

Zhang Luotuo laughed, and he leaned back.Joad gave in and allowed him to stay here.He thought, all the muscles and bones in his body loosened.

"...you can start the spaceship." A messy background sound came from the intercom, like destroyed data, and Lu Xing's voice came out of it, ordering them vaguely.

Joad looked ahead, the red stone beckoning them from afar.He gestured to Zhang Luotuo: "Are you ready?" He still said angrily, his voice a bit gloomy.

"Ready." Zhang Luotuo said, nodded, and replied solemnly.

He heard the engine of the spaceship being started, the horsepower increased, the sound from the fan outlet was like teeth shaking, the current was flowing through the wires of the spaceship, the floor under their feet gradually rose up, and the yellow land turned into yellow in their eyeballs. It looks more and more like a plane, and finally there is only a distant horizon left.The spacecraft stopped in mid-air, and after a second, it flew forward at a moderate speed.

Zhang Luotuo looked at the red stone not far away, they were about to fly there.For a moment, he couldn't help wondering, there seemed to be nothing there, except for the yellow land, what was the south wall like?

The spaceship flew forward slowly, gliding through the invisible air currents and sandstorms.A speck of dust rolls past the window of the spaceship.The red stone was getting closer and closer to them, Zhang Luotuo could clearly see its brick red color, getting closer, getting closer, getting closer.Zhang Luotuo opened his eyes wide and almost held his breath. The surveillance video on the screen showed that they were less than five meters away from the stone. He waited for that moment to come.They glide past the rocks.For a moment, Zhang Luotuo had the illusion that there was nothing in front of him, and he only heard the gentle sound of the wind, but the next second, with a buzzing sound, his ears were suddenly surrounded by a huge noise, and then his teeth began to chatter.

The spaceship seemed to have hit a huge object, the fuselage was violent for a while, and it was hit backwards, and the yellow light in the spaceship followed.

"Hint...hint..." The male voice was high and hollow.Everything in the spaceship began to vibrate, a coin in the drawer of the spaceship rolled into the floor, and the silver flashed past.Zhang Luotuo's vision blurred, the huge impact forced him to be pressed on the spaceship chair, a concussion-like pain hit him hesitantly, and the sharp pain kicked at the root of Zhang Luotuo's thigh.

He raised his eyes with difficulty, and a strange scene appeared in front of him: the spaceship wanted to move forward but couldn't, it swooped towards the transparent sky, but couldn't move half a step forward, it was just a stuck game.The spaceship had no choice but to collide with the invisible "south wall" again and again.It tried to take a step forward and was bounced back again.Boom.Boom.Boom.Everything in the spaceship was shaking.

"Are you feeling okay?" Zhang Luotuo wanted to ask how Joad was doing, but just as he opened his mouth, severe pain rushed into his gums, and he was slammed back into the straight line by the impact force, and the pain was random in his mind fly.The programs apparently kicked in, and they started sending signals into their brains, warning them.

Joad held the steering wheel firmly and stared ahead, but his face was as pale as a camel's.

"How do you feel? Do you want to come down?" A voice suddenly came from the spaceship, cold and ruthless.Zhang Luotuo lowered his head, the voice came from the intercom.It's Lu Xing.Zhang Luotuo tried to speak, but he blinked and found that the function seemed to have disappeared from his body.

Zhang Luotuo looked at the clock amidst tinnitus and severe pain, not even a minute had passed.Lu Xing didn't exaggerate, this feeling was even more painful than what he described.

Joad gritted his teeth, his hands were shaking, maybe because of the pain, Zhang Luotuo clearly saw the veins in his hands stretched out.Without saying a word, he pressed a few buttons, turned on the automatic flight mode, and let the spaceship continue to fly smoothly, hitting the invisible south wall.His hands tremblingly left the steering wheel and gently slid down onto Zhang Luotuo's cheek.

"Are you okay? Do you want to stop?" He whispered, and turned off the intercom to avoid being heard by Lu Xing. In fact, Zhang Luotuo felt that Lu Xing couldn't hear him, and the noise in the spaceship made them listen quickly. No voice of their own was heard.

Zhang Luotuo shook his head, admitting defeat now would be a failure.In order to divert his attention, he looked out the window: "Is this our hallucination or what?" There was a wonderful scene on the spaceship, many uneven black spots flashed in the sky, they crossed between the horizon and the sky, and were captured by the spaceship. Turns color on impact.

"I guess it's because of the program, which is warning us that if we don't stop, our nervous system will be destroyed." Joad tried to keep calm, but his face was very pale, and the program also worked on him.

Zhang Luotuo wanted to nod, but he couldn't do it, the intimidating power of the pain was too great for him, and in just about a minute, he felt the life flow from his body.And Joad is the same, he can see that although he is better than him, he is still holding on.He realized one thing: they couldn't last for 1 minutes at all, either they withdrew or died of pain in these 3 minutes, Lu Xing calculated this, and he felt that they would definitely give in and couldn't last for these 3 minutes.

They must think of something else, or they will end up like this.he thinks.

Knowing that their conversation was over, Joad turned on the intercom, and the sound of electricity flooded in again.

"Hey, hello, hello, are you still there?" In an instant, Lu Xing's anxious voice was immediately released along with the electric current.

"It's still there." Joad said succinctly, "The intercom was accidentally turned off just now."

"I thought you were dead." Hearing his voice, Lu Xing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but immediately, after he knew they were alive, a kind of unscrupulous malice overflowed, and he laughed because of their pain , "Are you having a hard time? Do you want to come down?"

His voice was languid, as usual.

"Lu Xing, how about we make a deal?" Zhang Luotuo intervened in their conversation, resisting the pain that flowed from his body like a knife, he shrugged at the slightly surprised Joad.

"Ah, Zhang Luotuo... imitating people, you sound quite weak." Lu Xing heard his voice, "What deal? Are you going to give in?" His voice was full of expectation.

"Shorten the time to hit the south wall." Zhang Luotuo said firmly.

"What?" Lu Xing sneered at the other end, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Zhang Luotuo shook his head: "I mean, we increased the flight speed to about twice the normal speed, but the time was shortened to 1 minute."

Lu Xing was stunned for a moment, and then his voice sounded again, the feeling of the smile disappeared: "It's impossible for you to do it, the feeling of speeding up will be a hundred times more uncomfortable than now."

"Then what if it's possible?" Zhang Luotuo gasped, clenched his hands into fists, and suppressed the painful feeling. He felt as if an electric current passed through his body.

Lu Xing paused for a while: "You can't do it, and now you sound miserable enough. I tried it, Zhang Luotuo, maybe you don't know. I tried it once with Zheng Zheng, trying to break through the south wall, and it took less than three Seconds we stopped, it felt like we were going to be out of our wits, trying like that would only lead to death—like dying on the endless network..." He rambled, the feeling seemed to cover his body, and from His words gushed out, enveloping the entire spaceship cabin, "You're just looking for death like that——I advise you best not to do that."

"I'll discuss the countermeasures with Qiao De to see how to fly." Zhang Luotuo said quickly, as if he didn't hear Lu Xing's words, he turned off the intercom and raised his head. Before he spoke, Qiao De frowned. Shaking her head at him.

"What are you doing?" Joad said, his voice sounding extraordinarily cold.

"This is the only way, otherwise both of us will be tortured to death for 3 minutes, I can..." Zhang Luotuo explained clumsily.

"There is a parachute in the spaceship. It's in the drawer. You put it on yourself. I'll open the door for you later, and you jump down." Joad said, involuntarily, he pressed a button, the drawer opened automatically, and the white parachute was silent. Lie quietly in it.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Luotuo was stunned, facing everything in front of him at a loss.

"The method is a good method, but it can be done by one person. I will come, and you will go down." Joad said, perhaps noticing Zhang Luotuo's loss, and slowed down his tone.From his eyes, Zhang Luotuo could see himself, his face was pale and he was at a loss.

"No." Zhang Luotuo shook his head firmly.

Joad's face was illuminated and flickered by the light of the spaceship lights, and Zhang Luotuo couldn't see his expression clearly.

Joad's voice was very soft, almost like a request: "I am atonement, but there is no need to pull you."

"Then I will atone with you." Zhang Luotuo interrupted him without blinking his eyes.

Joad didn't answer, the light was still sweeping across his face, covering his thoughts, for a long time, the light gradually dimmed, and then went out, the clear face reappeared in front of Zhang Camel, maybe it was to cover up his thoughts. By himself, Joad turned his head, lowered his head, and looked at the steering wheel.

"What if you die...?" His voice was very soft, feeling powerless for the first time.

Zhang Luotuo lowered his head and looked blankly at his hand. He saw his thumb, which had no nails on it. The scar had not long since scabbed, like a winding white branch.

"I'm an imitation person, I can't die, I can only be considered scrap." He smiled reluctantly, "And..."

He looked out the window, and the gray sky seemed endless.

"We're not alive now," he murmured.

He raised his head and looked at Joad.They looked into each other's eyes and said nothing.Silence spread at this moment.They heard something, the sound was like a distant cry, it came from nowhere, maybe it came from their hearts, themselves.

Joad finally gave in, and he nodded slightly, almost reluctantly.

"But remember to say stop if you feel uncomfortable," he said.

Zhang Luotuo pressed the start button of the intercom, and without waiting for Lu Xing to speak, he said directly: "We are going to speed up, one minute, Lu Xing, watch it."

Joad and him looked at each other, turned their heads, disengaged the automatic flight mode, held the steering wheel with their left hand again, and chose a slow flight speed, but they still felt a vague pain hitting them like a tide .Joad put his right hand on the shifter, but didn't move.He turned his head, glanced at Zhang Luotuo, and then gently pulled down the shift lever.The buzzing of the spaceship suddenly increased, some small sparks burst out in the front of the spaceship, the seat vibrated constantly, Zhang Luotuo's whole body undulated, and the seat belt was the last piece of equipment to prevent him from flying out of the seat.

"Squeak—" and the huge friction sound between the "south wall" rang through the front window of the spaceship.The sharp pain was like a fruit knife cutting a camel's nerve from it. The pain was too obvious, ten times stronger than what they experienced just now. At that moment, his whole body could not help but twitch.He couldn't help biting his lip, but the whimper still escaped through the crack.He closed his eyes and endured the pain, and another pain invaded from the soles of his feet, all the way to every part of his nerves.

"What are you doing?" Lu Xing's voice came from the intercom, trying to be very disdainful, but surprise leaked from that short sentence.

"Accelerate, as you think." Joad said coldly, although his tone was flat, there was still a hint of pain in his voice.

"But I didn't agree with you to do this," Lu Xing said, "Boss, don't try to waste your efforts—"

Joad didn't even wait for him to finish, and pulled the gear lever down again.The flight speed increased again.Zhang Luotuo was thrown on the seat by the impact. Compared with the pain, he felt a loss of consciousness, as if something disintegrated him from the inside, and the windows of the spaceship cabin began to vibrate. The sound was like the glass of a city building being blown by the wind. Agitation, cold and huge.Zhang Luotuo blinked. He saw that they were facing the yellow land and the gray sky. There was nothing in front of them, but the spaceship let out an almost desperate cry. There was something blocking it. What was that?a procedure?An invisible wall?The spaceship itself—flies—flies—and rubs off sparks.

"Are you crazy?——" Lu Xing's voice came from the intercom, sounding stunned and frightened.

The spaceship continued to fly forward—flying, Zhang Luotuo blinked, sporadic black spots appeared in the sky outside the window again, they broke out from the sky, and even began to bite the sky back, surrounding it with black dots, the sparks of the spaceship sporadic The ground is scattered, but the trend cannot be stopped.Zhang Luotuo approached the window, looking at the ground in pain.The yellow land, which begins to be defeated by black receding section by section.

"Wait—" Lu Xing said again. For some reason, the sound from the intercom was very small and weak, and it was light, like a signal sent from a long distance. It was intercepted by something, light and light, like a Colorful dots, he paused, maybe because he was at a loss, "Come down, today I will pretend that you have never looked for me, and from now on we will pretend that nothing happened—""

Zhang Luotuo looked out of the window, the outside had been swallowed up by black spots, and it was black everywhere.The spaceship is still flying forward, but there are no other colors around, but a piece of black, and those blacks are shining, and they will shine again when they are silent.

Zhang Luotuo rubbed his eyes: "Jode..." he said softly, "Can you see the black?"

"I can see it, I think it's because our visual system is damaged by the program, and it's warning us that if we go any further, we'll be finished..." Joad whispered to him, avoiding Lu Xing's hearing.His face was pale, his breath was short of breath, and his gray eyeballs were bloodshot.Zhang Luotuo stretched out his hand, he wanted to touch Qiao De, but just as he stretched out his hand, it fell down feebly, he had no strength, the pain was followed by numbness, and a heavy suffocation oppressed his mind.

Squeak-cheep-a monotonous crash.blue.red.Zhang Luotuo moved his eyes slightly.Fantastic colors glide through the black like flying.

"Did you hear that? As long as you come down, we will write it off. I won't help you, but I won't reveal anything to the management—" He heard Lu Xing's voice, which was so soft that it almost passed his ears disappeared.Zhang Luotuo rubbed his ears, and his hearing seemed to have become abnormal.

"Are you okay?" Joad gave him a look, even though he wasn't doing well himself. "It's too late to stop now."

Zhang Luotuo shook his head.Can't slow down, he knows, once the slowdown is over.He lowered his head, looked at the intercom thoughtfully, and heard Lu Xing's voice starting to panic.

"Can you hear me?" Lu Xing was saying, "Fuck...boss? Imitation man? ... Joad? Zhang Luotuo—"

And not just not being able to slow down.He thought, feeling a hazy moment looming in front of him, that moment, fleeting, and they had to grab that.

They still have to speed up.

Zhang Luotuo took a deep breath, straightened his body with all his strength, and sat up with his teeth gritted.

He kept his hand on the gear lever and looked at Joad. "Can you?" he whispered, ready to let it go.

Joad stared at him as if looking at something rare, those gray eyes that seemed to remember everything for a moment.Suddenly, he raised his hand and replied in a cold but gentle voice: "Go."

"What the hell are you doing—" Lu Xing said impatiently on the intercom, but no one answered him.

Zhang Luotuo pulled down the gear lever in severe pain.

The buzzing of the spaceship suddenly sounded like a ferocious wave, and endless shocks hit Zhang Luotuo at this moment.The impact force of the spaceship suddenly increased, rushing forward at several times the previous speed.Zhang Luotuo heard the "clack" sound of the spaceship, which was the sound of countless parts collapsing.

Lu Xing's words were interrupted, and he was stunned.

Zhang Luotuo was thrown back on the chair, and he looked at the window weakly.Endless colors, numb feeling.Those colors came thousands of times faster than before.Those blacks were like the biggest waterfalls and torrents in the world, springing up and enveloping the entire spaceship. The endless pain was like tens of thousands of needles stuck in his chest, and the spaceship trembled, facing collapse with a righteous attitude.

He felt that he was going to die, on the verge of death, maybe in the next second.Palpitations wrapped around his limbs.

He saw a pure white light, then it flashed back to black.

He heard soft singing, like a whisper.

He closed his eyes, and before he was completely plunged into darkness, an unwilling voice pierced through the gentle singing, and came from a distant place: "Fuck...you fucking won...I agree to form an alliance, come down... ..."
