When the law of conservation of isolation is broken

Joad turned on the ship's headlights, illuminating the darkness.Zhang Luotuo rolled down the window, and a gust of wind mixed with the smell of salty wet dust came in.He stretched out his head, and saw the deep and narrow road below the spaceship in the howling wind, and above his head, the arc-shaped roof covered the sky, forming a wall that surrounded the entire road.The sound of the spaceship moving forward echoed here, arousing a resonance.Far away from them, a small semicircular opening was glowing - and, there was a long echo.

They seem to be going through a long tunnel.

Zhang Luotuo returned to the spaceship and rolled up the windows.

"Are you okay?" Zheng Zheng's voice came from the microphone.

Just now, the signal suddenly recovered. According to what Ah Coal said, he suddenly felt a comfortable current in the artificial navigator, and then he found that the network was open to him again, and the signal warmed up.For some reason, the network and signal are fully restored.

And just after he finished speaking, Zheng Zheng's profile picture jumped out from the electronic screen.

"Hey, Zheng Zheng, we're fine—" Zhang Luotuo and Qiao De looked at each other, and said a little excitedly, "Where are you? There used to be a tunnel behind the wall, we are going through it now, what is there outside after passing through?"

He glanced back and saw the dwindling, vanishing yellow field, surrounded by the entrance of the tunnel, and looking like an unreachable place.Not long ago, or twenty minutes ago, they passed there in a near-death state.In the few minutes when he was about to lose consciousness, Zhang Luotuo was lying on the chair with difficulty. Suddenly, he felt the spaceship moving forward, and the obstacle in front of him suddenly disappeared. The spaceship flew forward with a bang, breaking the stillness in front of him. The view, without flow, followed by a tunnel enveloping them and letting them inside.

Joad told him that the tunnel should be the real scene behind the "south wall". What they saw, the seemingly endless real sky and dust behind the "south wall" was nothing but Mars' blindfold, a false virtual scene , behind the south wall is actually a tunnel entrance for them to pass through.

And those drones were stopped by the tunnel entrance. They tried to fly forward, but none of them could fly out of the city. This was the limit set by Mars.When Zhang Luotuo looked into the rearview mirror, if he hadn't heard Ah Coal still screaming and seeing Joad's gray eyes that were also under extreme fatigue, he couldn't even believe that such a fierce battle had happened between them, because In that instant, swipe, all of a sudden, those machines, bullets, and thrilling killing wars disappeared from them, and they entered a tunnel, through the tunnel, and there were no weapons of every kind in the tunnel to hunt them down, only woo It took Zhang Luotuo a while to get used to the flying sound of the spaceship.

And the front is still black as far as the eye can see, only in the far distance, there is a round hole that seems to leave a passage for a mechanical mouse.Above his head, the top of the huge tunnel was like the cover of the sky. They had been moving forward in confusion but excitedly, shuttling through this black tunnel - apprehensive and full of hope, not knowing what was waiting for them ahead.

Zheng Zheng coughed and seemed to choke: "We're fine too, but we haven't flown away yet. We're in the city center now, in mid-air, you know, right next to the Q statue, he seems to dislike me very much, has been Stare at me with your shattered left eye."

Zhang Luotuo wanted to ask how long it took for them to leave the city, but Qiao De answered, "Where is Lu Xing?"

There was a noise from the other end, like the sound of clothes rubbing, and then Lu Xing's voice sounded lazily: "How are you all? Can I lie down for a while after asking this sentence? I'm exhausted." He let out a long voice A long, impatient sigh.

Then Zheng Zheng took the words: "He is a little tired, we just had a fight with the drone."

She briefly told Zhang Luotuo about their story, then she sighed and said, "At that time, both of us almost thought we were going to die, but after I smashed Q's eyes, I made up my mind to press the button. When the red button is on, I'm ready to die because I know I pressed one and I don't know what it's for, I just know it's a button with this city, who knows if that button is What about telling Mars to catch us? But when I pressed it, I was surprised—the moment I pressed it, all of a sudden, those drones that were surrounding us all stopped. , and then they all fell out of the sky, and it looked like a rain of glittering metal."

"Did you also encounter a drone? It was indeed sent by Mars—" Zhang Luotuo said excitedly, he coughed lightly, and the taste of blood climbed out of his throat, "We also encountered— —”

He was talking endlessly, talking about the desert, those drones, and the metal mesh, but for some reason, Zheng Zheng sounded a little absent-minded. She occasionally said "hmm" and didn't express any opinions, as if she was distracted. At the end , only Joad drove the spaceship, occasionally turned to look at Zhang Camel, and listened to him carefully.

"Zheng Zheng?" Zhang Luotuo stopped talking. He talked about the part where they rushed into the net, but Zheng Zheng's absent-mindedness made him a little discouraged.

"Huh?..." Zheng Zheng said.

"Did something happen on your side?" Zhang Luotuo asked in embarrassment, a little disappointed.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Zheng Zheng answered him, and now she came back to her senses, "It's just here..." She thought for a while, stopped, and didn't know what to say, she sounded very happy.

"No matter what it is, it's not a reason not to pay attention to what he said." Joad interrupted her coldly.

Zheng Zheng laughed when he heard his words: "I almost forgot about you! Joad!"

"Where are you now?" She paused and asked abruptly.Her voice sounded ecstatic, as if immersed in another world.

Zhang Luotuo looked around, and he replied hesitantly: "In the tunnel...it's a bit damp here...it's very dark...We're going to the exit not far away, so I don't know what's outside the tunnel."

The front is illuminated by the headlights of the spaceship. It is a dusty road, perhaps because it has not seen light for a long time, and it is covered with strange blue tissues, like a dark version of ivy.

"Then you raise your head." Zheng Zhengwu said decisively.

Zhang Luotuo did so without knowing why. He leaned against the front window of the spaceship and looked up.He saw the black, curved roof of the tunnel, with some old patterns carved on it.

"What did you see?" Zheng Zheng asked him.

"The top of the tunnel." Zhang Luotuo answered honestly.

Zheng Zheng said thoughtfully: "Now our place is similar. It looks like a tunnel. You know that there is no electricity or Internet. There is no bright building in the city center. From the city center to the outside of the city, It's dark everywhere. But we don't have anyone scared here, they're all screaming, or running around like crazy. The people in the building are all running out, the people in the cafe don't drink coffee, they're all Either at the intersection or on the wide street, sitting together or standing, in short, there are people everywhere, and there are many spaceships near us, and they all flew up, and together with us, now the sky is like the sea."

Zhang Luotuo looked at the top of the tunnel in bewilderment, he didn't know what Zheng Zheng was talking about.He still couldn't see what was in the tunnel except for some beautifully carved flowers.

"I don't understand—Zheng Zheng." He said in embarrassment.

Zheng Zheng felt Zhang Luotuo's bewilderment: "Sorry, I should explain it more clearly." She said softly, "Do you remember what Fan Liu said about Q?—"

"Q?" Zhang Luotuo said, he blinked, and felt a sticky wind in the tunnel blowing past him, and he shrank back into the spaceship, "I remember he didn't explain very clearly at that time, if Q is like the first two mechanisms What impact will it have on the city if it is breached."

"Yes." Zheng Zheng affirmed, "Listen to me, so before this, I have always guessed that the statue of Q is the last line of defense of the city. Once it is cracked, the border of the entire city will collapse. We other than that, it has no effect.” Zheng Zheng said on the other end, somehow, her voice was intermittent, Zhang Luotuo lightly patted the artificial navigator, maybe the tunnel let The signal is not good, "That's how I understand it, and then, this was proved to be correct, and you really escaped, didn't you?"

Zhang Luotuo nodded, suddenly realizing that Zheng Zheng couldn't see.

Zheng Zheng didn't mind, and continued to talk: "But I didn't expect that it has other functions besides this function..." Her voice gradually fell, and a piece of noise from the tunnel covered it. She said a word, but Zhang Luotuo didn't hear it clearly, so he swept it away.

Zhang Luotuo's eyes were pressed against the window glass. He blinked, trying to see the tunnel above his head clearly, and understand what Zheng Zheng said, but he didn't see anything, but the tunnel in front of him and Qiao De was about to fly away. When it was over, the whistling wind sounded louder and louder, Zhang Luotuo turned his head, and the arc that represented the exit was not far away, welcoming them, he could already smell a dry, wet and fresh scent.

Zheng Zheng said: "It turns out that the statue of Q is not only the last line of defense of the city... I just pressed the button, but I didn't have time to look into the sky, because those drones attracted my attention. After I pressed the button, they Immediately, it seemed to lose control, and it fell from the sky like metal rain. I was wondering whether Q could control these drones. Once it was damaged, these drones could not escape, but Lu Xing suddenly He stopped me and he lay on the seat and asked me to look up and look at the sky. So I walked over."

She paused for a moment and continued speaking in awe for some unknown reason: "Then, I saw the same gray sky as usual. But the difference is that I found that the gray sky was not as stable as usual, and the gray in the sky The gray is like gray fog flowing in the air. They fall to the ground with the drone, and they also fall downward, like rain. As the gray fog falls faster and faster, the gray sky With the statue of Q as the dividing line, like a curtain, the gray was slowly torn off from the middle, and then, under the gray, a piece of black that I never dared to think of leaked out like a liquid , they spread towards both sides at the speed of light, devouring the gray in the sky, and turning the sky into pure black in a short while."

"Then, when I was marveling at the blackness, I suddenly saw that there were a lot of shining things like raw ore stones mixed in the blackness, and they were shining one by one, densely packed, arranged in an incredible order , Lu Xing told me..."

Zhang Luotuo rolled down the window abruptly, stuck out his head, trying to block the glass barrier, carefully looked at the tunnel, and understood what Zheng Zheng was referring to before exiting.Zheng Zheng's words came intermittently from his ears, blocked by the wind.

"You know... here, I never in my life thought that I would see such a sight, I saw... endless, endless..."

He poked his head out, and the exit of the tunnel was close in front of him, trying to see clearly what was on the tunnel.But a wind mixed with dust and soil suddenly choked his eyes, he rubbed his eyes lightly with his hands, and in an instant, the spaceship flew out of the tunnel.

He turned his head, trying to catch it, but the new scene above his head immediately caught his attention.

That is the view beyond the tunnel.

He ushered in a fresh wind and the boundless land.A white light flashed like a dream.He blinked, raised his head, and looked towards the white light.

He saw an absolutely pure black sky, which Zhang Camel had never seen before, nor dared to think about.

In the sky, tens of thousands of stars gather together to emit dazzling white light. They shine quietly, like an endless jungle rain.

Zheng Zheng paused for a moment, as if trying to control her emotions, her sigh flew over gently: "... the stars."

Zhang Luotuo stared blankly at the sky, he held his breath, it took him a long time to react, and let out a long "wow--".

"Did you see it?" Zheng Zheng heard his voice, "Did you see the camel? Yes...the star. I didn't realize it until the moment I saw it. Apart from being a hidden line of defense for the city, the statue of Q is also used to protect the city. The weapon that covers the sky, the button in its left eye should be a mechanism, that mechanism can continuously create a false sky, that is, a foggy gray, it can cover the real sky, like a ceiling covering The false hologram is the same, but it's bigger and more expansive, and because I turned off the mechanism, the command button that was used to activate the sky cover, the false sky disappeared, the scene created by the mechanism disappeared, and the real sky was exposed out—the black night, the stars, that's the real sky above us—"

"... I discussed with Lu Xing that the end of the world will cause the sky to turn gray forever, the saying that the sun cannot shine is false, the sky is actually closed artificially...Mars closed the sky, because the sky will give people hope and make people feel hopeless." People never give in..."

Zheng Zheng talked incessantly, but her voice gradually became weaker, maybe because the signal gradually weakened, maybe because Zhang Luotuo's ears could no longer accommodate other sounds.

He stared blankly at the sky above his head for a long time, unimaginable, he knew he shouldn't have looked up for so long, they flew out of the tunnel, they should first look at the surrounding situation, the world around them, and any other suspicious things See what the world looks like outside of Chongqing, but he just stared blankly at the black sky above his head without blinking, on which tens of thousands of stars shone like raw ore .

Suddenly, he remembered something, and suddenly withdrew his head back into the spaceship. Because he was too anxious, his head hit the cabin door of the spaceship, but he didn't care so much. He covered his head and looked at Joad, who was also looking at Joad. Gazing at the sky in disbelief, he let go of the steering wheel and let it glide freely.

He felt Zhang Luotuo's gaze and turned his head.

Zhang Luotuo looked at Qiao De, he wanted to speak, but couldn't, so he finally said nothing at all, just looked at Qiao De quietly.

The spaceship glides quietly, swimming in the white rain.

The sharp, vast mountains echoed.

For the first time, Zhang Luotuo noticed so deeply that the color of Joad's eyes was so silent against the black sky.

"Is this the star on the astronomy book when you were chatting with me?" He said cautiously, and found that his voice was completely trembling.

Joad stretched out his hand, and he gently stroked Zhang Camel's cheek.

"...your eyes are like the night I caught the yellow butterfly." He said softly.

They looked at each other, and then, at the same time, they leaned closer for a star-like kiss.
