"Let's reconfirm our specific actions—" At the planning meeting, Zheng Zheng said, she lowered her head and read out the plan she had written, "Next Friday, that is, September 35rd, the action will start at ten o'clock. Eight Invite Lu Xing and I to the company, as usual. At around 45:[-], Lu Xing’s people will appear at the door of Eleven Company, first protesting, and then trying to rush into the company, at [-]:[-] they rushed in— —At that time, most of the people in Chongqing City were awake, even if Mars wanted to hunt us down, he had to find a way not to affect a large group of people because they were so awake in the morning.”

Lu Xing gestured with his left wrist in satisfaction, indicating the time, proudly showing the accuracy with which he can grasp the time.

"Then when Lu Xing feels that it is almost time to notify Mars, he will press the yellow button of the signal light, and I will pull down the siren." Joad said seriously, and he turned his head to face Zhang Luotuo, his tone became a little gentler Some, "I will send a red signal at that time, and you will go out immediately when you receive it, and meet me and Ah Mei at the gate of Feishan Cemetery. Asuka will wait for us in the C-22 area of ​​the cemetery."

Ah Mei let out a satisfied "received".Lu Xing turned his head to look at it with a smile, and Ah Mei officially joined them.Zhang Luotuo didn't know if this decision was wise or not, but it looked pretty good now.Lu Xing said to them jokingly: "This has an obvious advantage. At least we won't be angrily protested against breaking the news when we speak."

"Then it's me." Zheng Zheng continued, she gathered the hair in her hands into a circle, and then spread it out, "I immediately went to smash Q's eyes after receiving the green signal light from Zhang Luotuo, I'm sure that There is a switch inside." She made a loading action, which she had practiced thousands of times these days, and she smiled.

Zhang Luotuo nodded and accepted it seriously. In fact, he has already memorized the contents and the details inside. This is not only because it is very important to them, but because they have been Constantly planning and changing this plan, revisiting it many times, they spend a lot of effort every time they change it. The four-kilometer secret organization, the lone hackers in Nanping, and the sophisticated guns shipped from all over the place are all Including their scope, this is already their No.15 meeting.

He watched Zheng Zheng stand up, yawned, and put the things aside, knowing that the meeting was over, he also stood up relaxedly, walked to the window, and stretched his vision.

Outside the window, he saw that the city was still running at high speed without knowing it, advertising spaceships circled the city in a circular shape, holographic images of "Love You" candy advertisements, holographic boys seductively biting whole hard fruit candies, people wearing Clothes made of fashionable materials flowed into the port, nothing changed, the city never changed anything because of their plans, it was like the earth in the old world rotating, always turning, always turning, until the world was destroyed and the end came.

Will their actions stop the city's closed rotation?He looked at the spaceship passing by in the distance and couldn't help thinking.

Joad walked behind him and looked at the shadow of the city together with him. Zhang Luotuo felt his chest behind him. He leaned back gently and felt Joad catch him. Then, Joad's Hands clung gently to his shoulders.

"We should go," Joad said softly.

Zhang Luotuo nodded, he did not forget what they were going to do.

In the middle of the night, they took the spaceship out, passed through the dark alleys as usual, and arrived at Asuka's residence as usual.

Asuka's virus has been built recently.As the virus gradually matured, the gap became smaller and smaller, and Asuka looked at the virus more and more like a admirer.He told them it would be delivered in a few days.And not long ago, one day when they stepped into the gate in the alley of Nanping, Asuka did as agreed, no longer sat in front of the computer and faced countless programs, but put one hand on the mouse and played poker games .Those multi-colored structures are gone.He noticed them and turned around.

"I'm done," he said triumphantly.

He carefully stored the virus in the chip and handed it over to Zhang Luotuo for safekeeping.

"This virus is perfect as a wall," he said, "but I don't want to hold this thing. As much as I love it, if I'm caught holding it, I'm going to go to jail."

But he agreed to go to Feishan Cemetery with them to help crack the computer. This was also one of the plans they had agreed on at the time: "I'm in charge of cracking the computer. The firewall of the computer program must be difficult to handle." He spoke very fast, as if saying a word would kill him immediately.

But this time they went for this plan. After many days of perfection, their plan had almost reached a relatively complete level. They directly told him the part of the plan that belonged to Asuka, and gave him the signal. After Asuka was picky and appreciative of the signal for a while, they told him the day and plan of the operation-when Asuka saw the red signal light, he would rush to Feishan Cemetery, and they would meet at C-22 area. , try to avoid the possibility of birds being sighted and stay with them.

It's all about safety.As Asuka emphasized.

Asuka nodded in satisfaction: "I shouldn't be shaking my hands with fright." He thought for a while, and added hesitantly, "Even if you are arrested at that time, don't confess to me."

Zhang Luotuo nodded: "We will give you money, and you can hide and leave."

Asuka shrugged at him: "Thank you, I know I'm selfish, but I only live like this once."

Just live this once.His tone was very solemn.Zhang Luotuo couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then he smiled thoughtfully: "Yes, you're right." They said goodbye to Asuka, left the small house of Asuka, and went back to the streets of Nanping late at night.Here, Asuka's room has disappeared. He hid on the watery Internet and took it as his shelter.But it’s unbelievable, Zhang Luotuo thought, that Asuka hid in his small room, but he seemed to see more and more than people outside, and even saw a corner of the city to some extent—maybe Because the end of the Internet is much wider than the end of the city.

Zhang Luotuo walked into the streets of Nanping at night. The streets were filled with blue light, and light pollution covered almost every street and alley.As soon as Zhang Luotuo came out of the alley, he was fascinated by the huge bright billboard and his eyes watered. He blinked uncomfortably and caught up with Qiao De.

Whatever happened to him, this was probably the last few times he'd see the sight.He raised his head, suddenly thinking sadly.He is also going to pursue his life.

These deep streets, the filth and glitz hidden in them, either have no contact with them after the action, or they are buried here forever, but they have closed their eyes.

He couldn't help but slow down a little, Joad noticed, and slowed down with him.They walked straight until they came to an intersection and were about to turn right, to the spaceship.Zhang Luotuo focused his attention on Nanping for the last time, and turned to leave, but suddenly, he found that Qiao De didn't move, but stayed where he was, with his head raised, looking at another place.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Luotuo asked suspiciously, following Qiao De's gaze to see what he was looking at.

He found that Joad was looking at the game square, where the eyes of the God of Dunhuang were slowly opening.Joad used to keep his eyes on this place before, and he walked there, as if walking through a row of noisy cemeteries.

"Do you want to play?" Qiao De didn't know why, but asked Zhang Luotuo with some anxiety.

Zhang Luotuo thought for a while: "I don't really think about it." He shook his head. He has never been interested in games. Even if he would miss this place, he would hardly miss Game Square.

But Joad still stayed where he was: "Don't you really want to?" His facial expression was serious like a machine, but his eyes seemed to glance at the game square: those girls in sailor suits with dancing boats, pixel-level warriors and killer.For a moment he avoided the camel's gaze awkwardly, almost as if running, or fleeing.

Zhang Luotuo suddenly understood.He couldn't help laughing.He immediately felt Joad's eyes glance at him vaguely.He immediately stopped smiling and pretended to be serious and said, "Let's go and see, I really want to play."

The game square is like a large night stall.Amidst the deafening gunfire, the red light interlaced dimly, and the cheap game table exudes the accumulated bonuses all year round.They wandered around in those twists and turns games, mine sweeping, super soldiers, and night restaurants.They walked and stopped, looked at them, and finally chose a shooter.

They put on the VR glasses awkwardly, put the game currency into the box, and heard it jingle, and then the screen heralded the game to start.The endless desert immediately appeared on the screen, and they surged like particles under their feet, like layers of undulating sea water. The cheap game music sounded provocatively, reminding them that they should enter another world.

Zhang Luotuo was defeated in less than 4 minutes of the start. He clumsily grasped the pistol and fell on the desert, annoyed to hear the game coins flowing away.

Joad was much better. He played for the first time and persisted for 10 minutes, until the machine was replaced with drone equipment, and the purgatory mode made him retreat.

Zhang Luotuo reluctantly took off the VR glasses, and smiled brightly at Joad: "I'm not suitable, but you are fine."

Joad put down the vr glasses and sat on the chair. He didn't seem to care about winning or losing.

"Do you still want to play?" Zhang Luotuo asked him, "There are still many games... street games, cartoon games, and team games." Looking at it, he waved his hand deliberately.

Joad shook his head, but he didn't get out of the chair.His expression was very calm.He looked at this street, this game square, those complicated and colorful game colors, and the music that hovered above.

One guy was playing a shooting game, but was quickly lost.

He retracted his gaze and stayed on Zhang Luotuo: "Do you still remember?"

"What?" Zhang Luotuo was stunned for a moment.

Joad thought about it, and said coldly but gently: "A few months ago, the two of us were here. You bumped into a player who played games. He said that you caused him to lose and wanted to blackmail you."

Zhang Luotuo immediately remembered. He squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky: "I remember, of course I remember. You sent him away at that time. He spoke a strange language. In the end, you can also speak—is it Sanskrit?"

Joad nodded.

"So you can speak this language, and Martian taught you?" Zhang Luotuo turned his head and stayed very close to him, asking softly amidst the noisy game sounds, so as not to be heard by others.

Joad thought for a while, then tapped his finger lightly: "That's right. Mars implanted a language chip in us, so that we can understand all the languages ​​of imitation people, including Sanskrit." He didn't know why he frowned, "But I remember that Sanskrit-speaking imitators came a long time ago, almost 30 years ago, when Mars produced a batch of about 10 imitators, but their language function was messed up, and speaking on Mars had already Extinct Sanskrit, no one in the market can understand. So Mars dropped them on the earth and let them fend for themselves."

"So... what he means is that he is the first group of imitators?" Zhang Luotuo rubbed his hands in disbelief. "Then how could he live if he didn't meet other Sanskrit-speaking people in the past 30 years?"

He can't imagine that scene, speaking one language, being discarded in another place, no one can hear him, and no one cares about him, lying in this area of ​​​​the game, relying on blackmail and fake games every day Living, the only thing is just waiting to be scrapped, but 30 years later, nothing has changed, as it always has been.

Joad replied in silence, obviously he didn't know the answer to this question either.

They were quiet again.

Joad looked into the distance again, and this time his gaze was farther away, away from the games, the endless fabricated and complicated lights, to the deeper Nanping Street, where there was nothing but sporadic incandescent lights, But Joad looked there thoughtfully, as if seeing something in it.A light illuminated his face, his eyes, and for a moment he looked radiant.

"...Are you ready?" He suddenly turned his head, his tone was the same as usual, as if he was asking Zhang Luotuo a very common question, although he didn't know what he was ready for at all, he just abruptly and quickly He said the first half of the sentence, as if he expected Zhang Luotuo to have an immediate insight.

Zhang Luotuo was stunned, but immediately, he learned everything from Joad's iris illuminated by the light, and understood what he was talking about.

He put down the vr glasses, pushed away the remaining game coins, and looked at the city, the gray sky, and the endless buildings.

In a few days, they will face it.

"I think..." he said firmly.

"Yes."
