Boom!
A deafening thunder sounded, briefly piercing the night sky, like a horn of invasion, followed by a series of loud crashing rain sounds.
At some point, it started to rain heavily again throughout Wuji City.
Although Brown Tang smelled of alcohol and his face was red, he was obviously not drunk. He quickly closed all the windows to prevent rainwater from entering the room, and then glanced at the message that popped up on his phone, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Heavy raindrops kept beating on the window, making a series of dense sounds, sometimes mixed with thunder, which made people feel heart-stopping.
Bai Mo looked out the window. There were not many people on the street anymore. The mechanical guards had also returned to their places to stand by. Perhaps it was because of the heavy rain. The lights of the street lights seemed a little blurry in the rain curtain, and soon they were completely dim.
Go down.
But soon the yellow light came back on - it was the light that illuminated the stone.
The picture on the TV screen disappeared, leaving only a snowflake.
This was a very rare heavy rain. Both the thunder and the sound of rain were extremely violent, giving people a very scary feeling.
Brown Tang came to Bai Mo quietly and said with a smile: "It's raining so heavily, it seems you can only stay here today..."
"That's what I originally planned."
Bai Mo interrupted her in a completely natural tone.
He originally planned to stay in the library tonight, but unfortunately the library couldn't stay overnight, so when Brown Tang brought him here, he was already prepared to stay here.
It doesn't matter if you can't live there, it doesn't matter if you live on the street.
There was no unnecessary thought like "I'm sorry" in his mind.
During the meal, this woman talked a lot inexplicably. It was definitely not because she was drunk, because this woman was not drunk at all.
Bai Mo will not be easily whetted by others. He is only interested in what he wants to know, and he doesn't bother to ask even if the other person stops talking mid-sentence.
Seeing that Bai Mo's face was calm, Brown Tang was stunned for a moment, and said in a charming and ambiguous tone: "Oh, it turns out that you have been harboring evil intentions towards me for a long time?"
Bai Mo said nothing.
The best way to deal with this kind of guy who plays a lot is to ignore him.
Brown Tang smiled shyly: "You have to know that no man has ever stayed overnight in my house, not even my unlucky husbands... You are the first one."
She put her tied hair back on her back and said while stretching. Her neck was white as snow, and her graceful lines under the red skirt were clearly exposed, making her full of charm.
Bai Mo still didn't speak.
In the past, he might have taken direct action to shut this guy up, but things are different now. Although this woman is weird, she has no hostility towards him so far, so Bai Mo doesn't bother to take action -
He is not such an unreasonable person.
"It seems that you are really determined to stay here. Well, then, I will clean up the room for you."
After a while, Brown Tang sighed, no longer intending to make trouble for himself.
She could see that Bai Mo was different from everyone she had met before. He had no intention of pretending, or it could be said that he was too lazy to pretend.
Human beings always seem to need to wear countless masks to survive in the world. Sometimes it is not because of hypocrisy, but because they have to hide themselves in order to face different people and different things.
It is one thing when facing parents, one thing when facing friends, and another thing when facing strangers... Whether it is to maintain a relationship or to climb oneself, people rarely have the time to release their true selves.
Snakes can only hide their true face behind a mask.
The same goes for brown sugar.
Sometimes even she herself doesn't know what she really is.
And the time when she can truly reveal herself is perhaps when she faces the motionless cherry tree in the city.
People often reveal their true selves in front of pets because they do not think that the other person can understand and see through them, and the two parties cannot even communicate.
And Bai Mo seemed to be thinking this way at the moment.
He faced brown sugar as if he were facing low-dimensional creatures. No, not just brown sugar, he treated many people like this. He had a vague sense of detachment from the world, as if he believed these things from the bottom of his heart.
Guys don't understand themselves, so they don't need any disguise.
Brown Tang's eyes moved slightly, and she felt that the other party looked a bit like the city lord.
Faced with such a guy, she probably shouldn't engage in those fake and real business tricks.
"Forget it, I can stay all night if I want to stay with you."
She suppressed what she wanted to say, looked out the window, and murmured, "It's raining heavily again."
Bai Mo seemed to have guessed something and said calmly: "Is this another heavy rain covering the entire safety zone?"
"Yeah." Brown Tang nodded.
Although the current safe zone has been greatly encroached by the restricted area, the combined area of ​​the entire safe zone is still very large, and there will never be such a thing as raining all over the world——
So there's obviously something wrong with this.
Bai Mo said calmly: "What does your city lord think of this?"
"The city lord didn't say anything, and if he didn't say it on his own initiative, we wouldn't be able to ask casually."
Brown Tang was a little helpless, "But this heavy rain is definitely weird. We sent a special robot to collect data this time. Maybe we can get some results after the rain stops."
"It's best not to go out in heavy rain like this."
Bai Mo didn't pay attention to Brown Tang's expression, and reminded him after thinking about it.
To be honest...he actually likes this weather.
…
"Lord Yama, the communication connection with Huangquan headquarters has been interrupted."
A night of heavy rain.
All life seemed to be hidden, and even the forbidden creatures wandering in the buffer zone suddenly retracted into the forbidden zone for some unknown reason.
The whole wilderness was dead silent.
The air was moist, mixed with the fragrance of earth, and the heavy rain was like the ink of a splash-ink painting. Soon the water surface swelled, and the river began to run wildly.
There was a burst of fire in the cave by the river. Seeing that the rain was so heavy, the flames suddenly rose and illuminated the entire cave.
The fire brought bursts of warmth, and several figures in black robes sat down around the fire. However, although the chill of the heavy rain had been dispelled a lot, they still looked outside the cave with some worry.
It was raining heavily, and the place they chose to stay was close to the river. They were afraid that soon the rain would cause the river level to rise crazily, causing a large amount of river water to flow into the cave.
A flash of lightning flashed in the sky, completely illuminating the faces of several people in the passage - they were the people from the Huangquan organization who had just evacuated from Wuji City.
He Shang looked at the rainwater splashing outside the cave, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Chang Bei, seal the entrance to the cave."
The man named Chang Bei quickly understood and pressed his hands on the ground. He saw a row of earth walls immediately spreading upward from the ground, blocking most of the entrance to the cave like a protective wall.
Seeing this, everyone felt certain that with the shield of this earth wall, the rain would definitely not be able to get in for a while.
Seeing that everyone looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, Li Youji couldn't help but be a little confused. Although it was not good for rainwater to pour into the cave, it shouldn't make everyone so worried, right?
The man with glasses seemed to notice her doubts and planned to explain: "You have been staying in Wuji City before, so you may not be clear about some things... But do you know about the heavy rain that fell at noon today?"
Li Youji shook her head. As a prisoner who committed a serious crime, she had been locked in a closed room before entering the Forest of Steel and was unable to understand the situation outside.
"The heavy rain came and went quickly. It didn't seem like much at first glance, but there is one thing worth paying attention to, that is, the heavy rain actually covered the entire safety zone at the same time."
Li Youji's face hardened. This sounded very problematic. As if she suddenly realized something, she looked outside the cave entrance and said, "Is this rain the same?"
"Not sure yet, but it's very possible."
The masked man looked at the laptop in his hand and said, "In addition to the fact that there was no warning and the rain was heavy, this rain also has the same characteristics as the rain at noon -"
He looked at the no-signal prompt on the screen and said in a more solemn tone, "This time the electronic devices also lost all signals, and communications were completely blocked."
Li Youji was startled.
"More than that."
He Shang took over his words and said, "A Cheng's computer is specially made and can even be used in restricted areas, but ordinary electronic devices, such as the mobile phones we carry, cannot even be turned on when it rains.
"
"...Including the small cameras we brought."
Li Youji's expression changed slightly, and he looked at the others. Seeing that everyone nodded solemnly, he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Isn't this just like..."
To be continued...
