After the global recovery I crossed

When Wang Xichen heard Zhao Lue calling his brother, he thought: Why are you so obedient?

Wang Xichen and Zhao Lue, one from the Wang family and one from the Zhao family, are family friends of the two families. They played together until they grew up.

Because Wang Xichen was nearly two years older than Zhao Lue, Zhao Lue always called him brother when he was young.Of course, when he got older, Zhao Lue started calling him by his name.

It was rare to hear Zhao Lue call "Brother Xichen", and Wang Xichen felt even more strange.

The last time Zhao Lue was so obedient was when Mr. Zhao got angry.

"Look at that." Zhao Lue patted Wang Xichen on the shoulder, causing his gaze to turn to the yellow card that Zhao Lue had been looking at before.

The words on the yellow card immediately came into view.

It is not the traffic rules in Wang Xichen's imagination, but shocking words.

[-] years... life payment...

After understanding the meaning of those words, Wang Xichen's breathing stopped momentarily.

For a moment, it was as if a piece of ice was stuck in his throat, and his head was deprived of oxygen, and a small gust of cold air rushed straight to his limbs.

His first reaction was actually a prank, but he had to consider the possibility based on the weird situation before.

He would rather he didn't know these words, but the meaning of those words was drilled in his mind over and over again, rendering the font that wasn't scary at first into a terrifying scene.The brand itself seems to have a strange power to make people believe.

"This is real."

And Zhao Lue's words made the suspicion he worked so hard to build collapse.

He, Wang Xichen, would die in such an unknown place.

Just when he was a little dazed and nauseous, his shoulders tightened, and his warm palm pressed heavily through the thin autumn shirt.

Wang Xichen came back to his senses and saw Zhao's slightly lowered eyelashes.

Zhao Lue was focused.

After a while he raised his eyes and showed a bright smile that was different from a chuckle.

"Don't be afraid," he said.

-

More than ten minutes had passed since Zhao Lue was the first to discover the word on the opposite side of the yellow card.

More and more people have discovered the charging rules of the toll booths. In addition to bursting into incredible exclamations, everyone has also tried their own methods other than paying the toll.

Although there are several weird precedents, one cannot be so quick to believe.

Someone went back the same way by car, but it kept spinning.Some people walk through the woods on both sides of the road, but they also come out from the other side helplessly.

Someone forcibly drove through the toll booth, and passed out after being warned by the electronic voice with the reason of "attempting to evade the fee" - just like the father of the woman who died.

Someone tried to attack the tollbooth, the consequences are the same as the previous one.

In short, most people wisely chose to queue as the temptations were all accepted by the tollbooth without injury.

At the front are the driver and passengers of the bus. The driver has been reluctant to step forward, but he dare not.

Because the rules on the sign are not very clear, such as what does "own" mean?

Do nearly one million buses need drivers to pay the toll?Does the driver own the bus?

Zhao Lue was at the end of the line, also waiting for the answer to this question.

Finally, the passenger with a cramp arm came forward impatiently and hesitantly and asked the monitor: "This bus belongs to the company, so the driver shouldn't have to pay the toll?"

Zhao Lue said from a distance: "It is also possible that everyone will bear this car together." Wang Xichen looked at him hesitantly.

Then the monitor issued an electronic tone: "Yes, the owner of the bus is the chairman of Baiyou Travel Co., Ltd., not the driver or the passengers. You don't need to pay for it."

Both the driver and passengers breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, the toll booth said again: "No."

Others were puzzled by the two words at the toll booth, but Zhao Lue knew it was an answer to himself.

And from the question and answer, Zhao Lue also discovered that this monitor or the toll booth itself has a mind, not just an intelligent machine that observes queue jumpers through some technological means.

"The next one, please put your hand through the window." The toll booth urged.

The first payer after the father appeared.A passenger reached in first, and the bachelor said: "I only have a camera on my whole body, and it's worth [-] yuan."

The toll booth asks: "Is the balance calculated?"

After the passenger with the video camera around his neck nods, all eyes are on the monitor.

Everyone wants to see the balance. In the life toll booth, the so-called balance is probably the remaining life?

Does the toll station have a way to know the life span of a person?any solution?

Zhao Lue asked from a distance: "Are you right?"

The toll station immediately replied: "After you put your arm in, the toll station will calculate the maximum natural lifespan you can live according to your current state based on your cell vitality, living habits, etc. The toll station cannot predict whether you will encounter in the future to natural and man-made disasters, so it has nothing to do with any accident."

The explanation of the toll booth is surprisingly scientific.

The photographer's balance is displayed: "41".Not surprisingly, without changing his living habits, he can live up to 41 years.

"Do you want to start paying the fee? After the payment starts, you can't stop it at will."

"let's start."

The button to start payment lit up on the display, and the number "00" also changed to "05".It seems that this passenger is not accurate, what he has to pay is five years.

"How could there be an extra [-]?" The photographer was taken aback.

"One of the batch of jade carvings in your mountaineering bag has a market value of [-] yuan."

The photographer was pleasantly surprised: "There is actually a real product in it!" After speaking, he quickly opened the bag to check.

And when he walked through the toll booth after paying, the number jumped to "00".There was no abnormality on his surface at all, as if he had simply crossed a hurdle.

"This toll station seems to be able to identify the authenticity of antiques." Zhao Lue complained.

The photographer didn't care much about losing five years of his life, but Zhao Lue sensed danger from it.

——The payment cannot be stopped at will, but the amount they have to pay is deducted after the start, which means that if there is a wrong calculation and the balance is not enough, they will die.

When Zhao Lue said this to Wang Xichen, the voice was heard by the person next to him, who immediately called everyone to carefully calculate the value of the items they owned.

So everyone started to count one by one.

Wang Xichen also pulled out all the things in the car, looking at the scattered places, he was a little silent for a while.

"Panamera, I remember the starting price is 100 million?" Zhao Lue touched the surface of the Porsche's volcanic ash.

"I choose a lot." Wang Xichen unconsciously rubbed his forehead with a gloomy expression.

"How much did it land?"

"150 million."

"Where are your clothes?"

Wang Xichen was wearing an oversized jacket of a luxury brand. After thinking about it, he said, "I don't remember, it's estimated to be around [-]. This outfit adds up... the shoes are more expensive, and the total is [-]."

"I didn't have time to wear a watch today. The decoration in the car and the mobile phone cost about... [-]."

152+8+9=169.

Wang Xichen will undoubtedly die.

Zhao Lue looked at the succulent that had been repacked, and he was puzzled that Wang Xichen had time to put the succulent on the car when he didn't have time to wear the watch, but it was a good thing, otherwise a watch would be more expensive than a car.

"What about you?" Wang Xichen sighed, "Your suitcase is full of clothes, right?"

Zhao Lue shook his head: "The box is empty, I didn't want to leave, how could I put something in it."

But the box itself costs [-] yuan, the bodhi string on his left hand is [-] yuan, and the clothes are about [-] yuan. Because the noise-canceling earphones were sent directly by the brand, Zhao Lue remembers them clearly and they haven’t been released yet. The market price is estimated to be [-] yuan. .

4+2+5+2＝13。

He also doesn't wear watches and expensive accessories, so the number is not very large.

"13." He said, looking at the team that was slowly moving forward.

Compared with the hundreds of thousands they often spend on clothing and decorations, most of the others are less than ten thousand.

So a lot of them only have to pay for the car.

Less than 10,000 cars, 10,000+ cars, two 10,000+ cars, and even three [-]+ cars.The balance of their life is enough to pay, and some people are wiped out as passengers without a car and have not paid for a year.

Wang Xichen was tired and squatted down, staring at the cracked potted plant, his eyes lit up suddenly, and said, "Zhao Lue! Tell me, do potted plants count? Like potted plants, if I smash the car..."

——Does that mean there is no need to pay for the car?

He should be able to endure the remaining 17 years...won't it be so miserable that he died young?

If it was that bad, he would burn his clothes.

Zhao Lue patted him on the head and said with a smile, "No, if you don't believe me, look ahead."

Wang Xichen raised his head, stood up from the ground, and saw Zhao Lue walking forward.

A very thin cold light passed over Zhao Lue's fingertips.

Wang Xichen took a closer look and found that Zhao Lue took out a small knife from the inside pocket of his clothes.

The thin blade circled around the slender white fingers, forcing Wang Xichen to swallow all his doubts.

"Someone tried to smash the car before. After all, even if they can afford it, they don't want to lose ten years of life in vain. Unfortunately, the rules are very clear." Wang Xichen heard Zhao Lueyuan's voice.

Wang Xichen was stunned.

The sign says: [Everything you have when you enter this road. ] So destroying after entering is useless.

He just watched Zhao Lue walking forward calmly, like a lithe and elegant cheetah, with the knife spinning in his hand.

He didn't understand what Zhao Lue was going to do, but of course he believed him.

Zhao Lue passed a man holding a mobile phone.

They looked at each other for a moment.

Wang Xichen was startled suddenly, time seemed to slow down.

The moment they passed each other, their eyes collided.

But soon, the man subconsciously lowered his head.

The two lived in peace, one stayed put and the other moved on.

Wang Xichen looked at the man who lowered his head, and noticed that he was the one who called from across the road when Zhao Lue got on the bus.

The man panicked for some reason, and then he raised his phone.

Wang Xichen approached him slowly, and actually heard him on the phone.

Make a call in this place with no signal.

The man said: "Brother Han, I have arrived at No. [-] Lord God Space... No, nothing happened, but there is one person I am a little scared..."

-

The man quickly realized his bewilderment and put down his phone guiltily. At the same time, the line froze because someone finally had insufficient balance.

A person with insufficient balance drives a 10,000+ Audi, but his balance is only 20 years.

His wife was standing beside him, unable to care for a moment that her husband had at most 20 years to live, she only knew that her husband was going to die now, just like the father of the woman beside him in a daze.

The husband trembled, feeling a fear that no one else felt much.

To be honest, this life toll station is not scary, its attitude is very gentle, far inferior to the horror scenes of motels and wild people in some European and American movies, it seems to be just following the rules, and everyone's questions are also It can be said to answer in detail and patiently.

So far, at least as far as everyone has seen, only one person has died.

If you really want to say, this toll station is a bit "hating the rich".

The short-lived husband could only blame himself for his short life.

People who have paid their lives are standing on the other side of the tollbooth, some sympathetic, some indifferent, and some even have veiled schadenfreude.

Oddly enough, only a fraction of them who gave their lives for more than ten years are mourning the lost years.

When life is counted as a cold value, human beings will lose sensitivity, and when these values ​​​​are consumed in advance, it is difficult for human beings to realize what they have really lost.

Not to mention just one year, this year alone is a year with family, a year filled with work and rest, a year consisting of 360 five days, spent every day.

This year may be the hope of a dying patient lingering on his last breath.

Perhaps it was this year that changed the world and all of humanity.

Maybe it's the year...

More than a year.

Zhao Lue clearly knows the sinister intentions hidden in the toll booth. What people lose is the possibility of the future and the precious things that should have been carried by the age.

And when you know how many years you can live, a person's future changes completely.

Zhao Lue also understood that indifference - as if he could only live for the rest of his life.

And besides not caring, what can everyone do.

In modern society, isn’t the cost of buying a car, buying clothes, and buying accessories all the money earned with one’s life?

Year after year, work, work, work, rest.An ordinary person with an average salary spent nearly ten years of savings on an Audi, and worked hard for it for ten years, and then made money and bought it.

When you are young, you trade your life for money, and when you are old, you spend money to buy your life.

This life toll booth, in fact, only magnifies the cost of the former, and what Zhao Lue wants to do is the opposite.

"Everyone." Zhao Lue turned around and faced everyone.

His voice is not loud, but it overwhelms all the noise, and his words make people subconsciously listen quietly.

"I'll pay 200 million and buy everyone for ten years."

——If someone offered 200 million to buy your life for ten years, would you be willing?

The author has something to say: If someone offered 200 million (Vietnamese Dong) to buy your life for ten years, would you be willing?
