Players Please Get In the Car

  Chapter 989 Only Night City

   "What a coincidence." Xu Huo responded dispensably.

   "Thank you for your help yesterday." Liang Yi hesitated before bringing up the old matter again, and said, "You must not trust that Dong Yu. If she invites you to go with her, you must not go with them."

   "Have you been to Area 002?" Xu Huo asked.

"I have a friend in District 002..." Liang Yi paused, "He mentioned that many players in District 002 are engaged in human trafficking, and some players will abduct foreign players on the train. District 002 is not like what they said so good."

  Xu Huo thanked her for her kindness, but didn't say much.

  Liang Yi finished speaking and returned to the room.

There were few people in the VIP room, and players seldom came out to walk around. The next two days passed very peacefully. Thanks to his strong self-healing ability, Xu Huo's injuries have almost recovered, and he walked through the day zone to welcome the night. At that time, the train arrived at the destination area 002.

  As soon as I got out of the car, boundless darkness came from all directions, which was different from the previous nights.

The night in the usual sense is not a complete night. Although the skylight and starlight are weak, in the eyes of players with the ability, they are not much different from the daytime. But the night in Area 002 is different. There is no light source in the pure black sky. The night seemed to block the line of sight, except for the solitary lamp on one side of the street, the buildings around Xu Huo's footsteps, the surrounding streets, and even the whole city were soaked in blackness—this is the fact that there is no day, only night, Area 002, the famous Night City.

  Night City is another name for District 002. As the name suggests, it is a city that only has night. I don’t know whether it was originally like this or it became like this because of some accidents. In short, all the information about this place under the dimension will mention the night here.

  People living in the normal world may find it hard to imagine what kind of environment this is, just do a simple subtraction.

In a normal day and night world, turn a person’s routine upside down, sleep during the day, move around at night, and never see the sun for 24 hours a day—it sounds easy, and then remove most of the natural light at night, such as skylight, starlight, and moonlight Wait, this seems to be acceptable, because in places with high urbanization, human lights are the main theme of the night.

  What if the main theme is removed?

   From small indoor lighting and low light of electrical appliances, to large building lights and urban lighting, there are only small street lights that can be separated by a hundred meters. Do you feel that the world is quiet for a while?

   Not one-third or one-half of a day, but a life like this day after day, year after year.

Since there is no daytime, all the lighting in District 002 relies on human power generation. Although people still live according to a certain schedule, the "daytime" time only accounts for one-third, that is, the power supply time is only eight hours a day at most. However, in special circumstances or when a large city needs a large amount of power supply, some small cities will deduct these eight hours.

In this environment, the government advocates frugality, and there is a limit to the electrical appliances that can be carried by each power supply terminal, which means that people cannot freely use power storage equipment, and must use it in a "frugal and frugal" manner at the stipulated "night". Electricity storage, and the stored electricity can be sold back to the government, which is also a household income.

   Now is the "night" time in Area 002, so most of the places Xu Huo sees are dark. If it weren't for the use of reflective materials on the exterior walls of the buildings, even with night vision capabilities, he wouldn't be able to see too far away.

"This is darkness without light." Xu Huo walked alone on the street for a while, ignoring the two tails following him during the period, and found a place marked "stay". After knocking on the door, the small door on the door The hole opened, revealing a pair of eyes that seemed to be covered with a layer of dust.

  The people in District 002 have degraded eyesight due to long-term living in the dark, and the corresponding eyes have also undergone changes.

  The other party stared at him, "Two thousand bills a night."

  Xu Huo glanced at the price next to him, "Isn't it five hundred?"

   "I can't live in love!" The small hole was about to close as he spoke.

   "Open the door." Xu Huo called to stop him.

  The boss looked out vigilantly for several seconds before he opened the door a crack to let him in, and then closed and locked the door fluently. When Xu Huo turned around, three locks had been fastened on the door.

  The boss was not interested in his identity, he held a shimmering fluorite and said, "You have to leave when it dawns tomorrow morning. The key is on the counter, just take it after you pay."

  Xu Huo changed the key, and asked casually, "Who are those people following me?"

  The boss was shocked when he heard the words, put the money back in his hand, took the key away, turned around and opened the door, and pushed him out: "You find another place to live!"

   After speaking, the door was mercilessly closed.

  Xu Huo had no choice but to take back the money.

  The darkness breeds not only the perfect power cycle system, but also endless criminal groups.

Under the premise that the "light source" can be destroyed at any time, let alone "night", even "daytime" District 002 is not necessarily safe. As Liang Yi said, human trafficking is one of the more common crimes, except in relatively developed metropolises. , Many small and medium-sized cities here are almost under the joint rule of the local government and the local black forces. On the surface, the government has the final say, but in fact the government is not as wide as the black forces.

  So at night, ordinary people basically don't go out.

   But not going out does not mean safety.

   Three places 200 meters, 300 meters, and 350 meters away from him are respectively staged robbery and kidnapping incidents.

  Xu Huo put the map he had just brought from the innkeeper's counter into his pocket, bowed his head and walked into a dark alley.

  The two people following behind saw this, gestured with each other, and blocked the entrance of the alley one after the other, but when they entered, the person who entered the alley first had disappeared.

Simply shaking off the two tails, Xu Huo went to the scene of the kidnapping, and tied the two people who were carrying the sack to the chair, and made a silent gesture to the little girl who crawled out of the sack, and waited until the other party moved He went out quickly and closed the door, and then he carried a chair and sat in front of the two of them, with one side on his crossed legs, and the other hand playing with the strings:

   "I have a few questions I want to ask you, please cooperate."

"Do you know who we are? Don't think that you are a player..." Before the threatening words on the left were finished, he was strangled by the flying strings, and he was half-hanging in the air with the chair. Ignoring the other person's flushed neck, Xu Huo looked at the other person, "What about you?"

  The other person saw his companion whose face was gradually turning purple, nodded hurriedly, and deliberately lowered his voice, "I say, I say, as long as I know!"

   "Very good." Xu Huo raised **** and dropped the body when he heard a crisp cracking sound, and controlled the strings to fly to the man's neck.
