The twilight diffused, shrouded everywhere in front of the eyes.

Even the residential area in front of him became blurred.

There was a slight gnawing sound, and then, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, as if time and space were reversed, and it instantly turned into ruins in front of him.

A long silence.

A crushed calf was lying quietly on the ground.

Countless mosquitoes and flies bite, and the smelly saliva flows.

Obviously, this is the bite mark of the smiling doll.

They start the cycle again.

At this time, Li Rang saw Sun Liang who was alive, and he opened his mouth for a long time to speak, while Chen Shuang was still pulling Zhang Ya'er who looked excited, as if he was talking about something.

Unlike the last round of resurrection in the church, this time Xu Zhuo went directly to the ruins.

"It seems that this belongs to the previous subject..." Lin Cheng looked at the leg bone, "or in other words, it belongs to us."

Xu Zhuo kicked away the hollow board on the other side.

wow-

Countless arms and palms fell out and scattered all over the ground.

Followed by countless blood-stained bracelets, some bone fragments were stuck on them, which were chopped off by sharp weapons.

There was a retching sound from the crowd.

Seeing this, Li Rang took a few steps back and began to scream.

He didn't know how many times the chip had turned red, and he held his head tightly, as if recalling something.

At the same time, Zhang Ya'er's crying came from the side.

"I won't leave this time, let me see you again... She pulled the young boy and talked a lot incoherently, but all she got was a puzzled look from the other side.

Chen Shuang was pulling her, talking to the boy while comforting her.

"Clang clang clang——"

The dull bell rang.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Hearing the familiar bell, Zhang Ya'er's face changed slightly. She looked at the empty ruins with no smiling dolls. She was about to lead the young boys to the church when a smiling doll suddenly appeared from behind them!

Screams sounded.

Even after repeating it twice, everyone panicked subconsciously.

"what should we do?"

"I can't go at all, here are all crying dolls again!"

"Go to the church first! Find something to light—"

Even the sentences are very similar.

After getting the candle oil from the church, everyone worked together to burn the nesting dolls.

The blue-purple flame ignited into a raging fire, and Zhang Ya'er was pounced on the young boy. At this time, most of his face was bitten off by the smiling doll, and he was bleeding out.

"What should we do?" Lin Cheng knocked down a matryoshka with scattered stone slabs, looked at Xu Zhuo, saw him frown slightly, and looked at his arm.

"Brother what happened to you?"

"It's okay." Xu Zhuo said as he wiped away the blood on his arm.

"Then now..."

"Go to the supermarket, there must be something there."

Xu Zhuo's voice was as calm as ever.

Lin Cheng nodded and said, "Then let's go through the back door of the church, get on the train and go directly to—"

"Need not."

Lin Cheng was slightly taken aback.

Xu Zhuo tilted his head: "Follow me."

Everyone hurriedly followed Xu Zhuo into the jungle, and the sound of the doll gradually faded away.

Just when everyone took a breath, the scene in front of them made their pupils shrink, and they all froze in place.

"Damn..." Lin Cheng stared blankly at the residential area in front of him, "What's going on??"

Xu Zhuo glanced at him: "Let's talk later."

Hearing the vague howling sound behind him, Lin Cheng nodded.

At this moment, Qian Cheng and Qian Guanyi followed at some point, and when everyone saw them, they quickly backed away in horror.

Especially Sun Liang, when he saw it, he screamed and ran towards the residential area.

Chen Shuang sighed and shook his head: "It seems that there is indeed a countdown."

Lin Cheng: "What do you mean?"

"A few more rounds, everyone here will probably go crazy."

Qian Cheng looked at them and didn't know what happened, but he could think of something when he saw the reaction.

"The three of us will not follow."

He murmured, "I don't know what's going on, I'm afraid I'll hurt you again."

"No need." Xu Zhuo turned his head and glanced at them, his light-colored eyes remained indifferent, "Follow me."

From the residence to the supermarket, you need to pass through the city square.

At this time, the corpse hanging on the iron frame has completely turned into a skeleton, and the surrounding environment is even more messy than before. The iron plate that says Sunset City has been worn down to the point where only the word "City" remains.

"It seems that I have hanged for a long time." Chen Shuang said, "The bones of the feet are gone."

At this moment, the sycamore trees beside West Street made a rustling sound.

The car at the turning point has already become an empty shell. Besides, the gasoline tank has already dried up, and only a little dark trace can be vaguely seen.

Everyone still didn't dare to stay for a long time, and followed Xu Zhuo into the supermarket.

Kanto cooking is still boiling, the lights on the first floor are bright, and the light sign that says the fresh food area on the second floor is hanging beside the corridor, shining brightly.

But the door of the monitoring room was opened at this moment.

Xu Zhuo walked in with a blank face.

Everyone glanced at each other and followed into the monitoring room.

Along the way, they didn't communicate much, and now seeing Xu Zhuo not saying a word is even more confused, and they don't know what he's selling.

It is still a 48-bit chip parameter.

Xu Zhuo typed quickly.

At this time, someone couldn't sit still and asked, "What's going on?"

Xu Zhuo turned around and said, "Extend the cycle."

Everyone froze in place.

"What does it mean?"

Not to mention the end of time or any necessary triggers, as soon as this new word came out, everyone was completely lost.They watched Xu Zhuo take out the notebook scissors from the drawer and cut them into several long strips.

Then he took the glue, flipped the strip over once, and glued it together.

This is the easiest way to make a Möbius ring.

And Xu Zhuo made a total of two rings.

Before everyone could say anything, he saw him holding scissors and cutting a circle from the middle of the paper tape.Accompanied by the slight sound of scissors, a brand new Mobius ring appeared in front of him——

It was twice as long as before!

Xu Zhuo glanced at the crowd, said nothing, took a pen and wrote down 1-F on the first uncut note.And on the extended note, 2-S was recorded.

"It should be 3-T now." He said with downcast eyes, and made a new Mobius ring.

The paper was cut, and it was cut twice.

Following his movements, Chen Shuang slowly realized: "Could it be that..."

"Every cycle, the Mobius ring has doubled compared to the last time." Xu Zhuo said, "So when we are in the residence, there will be the last time we are experiencing group annihilation, because we are in One-half is exactly their end point. Or to give another example, when the group is destroyed, what we meet should be the future us in the residential area next time."

This is why he was able to meet Li Rang when the group was destroyed last time.

According to the timeline, Li Rang who met that time should be him after this rebirth.

"If you say so..." Chen Shuang was thinking quickly, "Is it possible that in this time and space, there are both the future us and the past us?"

Xu Zhuo hummed.

He put the Mobius ring on the table: "These three cycles can be referred to as the F line, the S line and the current T line. The first cycle is the F line, the second is the S line, and the third cycle is the F line. The time, and now, is the T-line."

"Wait a minute." Lin Cheng interrupted him at this moment, "Why do you deduce that it is the T line?"

"First, Second, and Third."

Xu Zhuo said: "There is also a Z, which is now on the screen in the monitoring room. It can be referred to as the Z line, the zeroth line."

Everyone was stunned again.

They invariably recalled the surveillance footage they saw during the first cycle. At that time, the corpses in the central square hadn't dried yet, and the sign that said Sunset City was brand new——

And the reason for all this should be because this Z line had appeared before them.

"On the first cycle F, the Sun Liang we met came from the Z line." Xu Zhuo said, "Because we were rushing to the supermarket on the train, we happened to meet Sun Liang who was captured on the Z line. "

"But we on the Z line weren't wiped out at that time, right?"

Xu Zhuo nodded.

"Until we reach 1/2 of the residential area on the F line, the Z line will be destroyed in the ruins." He said, "Because every time the Mobius ring will double compared to the last time, that's why the number in the first At the end of the F line, Li Rang said that he had seen me, because he saw me in the ruins of the Z line that was about to be wiped out."

At this moment, the monitor screen was dimly lit.

Chen Shuang finally reacted at this time: "So now, there should be us in other places?"

Xu Zhuo: "I'm not sure about the time of rebirth, but every time when the last group is destroyed, we must be inside the residential area, so we won't meet each other, and there is a so-called time difference."

The Möbius loop doubles each time.

So at the opposite side of the front starting point, that is, halfway through, the last batch of groups will be wiped out, because they have reached the end.

Because the route of the Mobius ring is to start from the front, go forward along the circle, and then go to the opposite side, which is exactly half of the position, then go down, go around the circle to the end, and the front, the front The opposite sides overlap to form a closed loop.

So the two ruins they thought became one when the front and back sides and the final destination converged. From the beginning to the end, they escaped from the train, and they only circled around and returned to the original place.

Xu Zhuo leaned against the table, his face became paler under the light of the screen.

After a few seconds, he turned and looked at the screen time.

3:44 PM.

At this time, the train should have exploded.

"Taking us now as an example, the money journey in the last cycle has not come, because this time we skipped the train and came directly to the supermarket." Chen Shuang said, "So it is safe for the time being."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Sun Liang screaming outside the door.

During the analysis just now, he didn't listen very much, because Qian Cheng and the others were right next to him.

I have to say, it may be that the shadows of the previous few times were too great, and everyone still had lingering fears when they saw Qian Cheng.

And Qian Cheng and Qian Guanyi also have self-knowledge, this time they kept a distance from everyone, because they don't know when they will mutate.

Lin Cheng glanced at Qian Cheng and the others, and murmured, "So the man with the ax that I saw for the first time is actually Qian Cheng from the last cycle..."

Xu Zhuo hummed.

He propped himself up on the table, glanced at Qian Cheng and the others from the corner of his eye, and then turned around to check something on the monitor screen.

At this time, the dispute outside the door continued.

"Don't come here! Don't come to me—"

Sun Liang looked at Qian Guanyi and took a few steps back with a distorted expression.

With a bang, the shelves full of clocks toppled over.

The clock that was knocked down now points to the time point of 4:23.

Sun Liang just took a look, and almost screamed and hid in the corner.He alarmed Li Rang again, and Li Rang immediately stepped back a few steps to kill Sun Liang without any fault of his own.

"It seems that even if the cycle can go on forever, there should be an end." Chen Shuang sighed, "What do you think is the purpose of the organization?"

"It's not like simply collecting emotional points." Lin Cheng shook his head, "I always feel that the difficulty is much higher than before."

In the noisy room, Sun Liang was still screaming in terror.

Lin Cheng called brother, and then asked: "Then what should we do now?"

Xu Zhuo lowered his eyes and said, "Cut off half of the connection point."

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"If it's an ordinary ring, the inside and the outside won't intersect." His voice suddenly softened, "But the Mobius ring is a circular loop, and the twisted side is destined to let us go to the outside first. One line, and then reverse to the inner two roads."

Lin Cheng scratched his head: "Then what does this have to do with our customs clearance?"

"Dolls."

Xu Zhuo's answer was quite short.

Lin Cheng suddenly recalled the previous analysis in the residential area.

Smiley Matryoshka appears at the beginning and can bite.

If you count the smiling ax man, it only appeared in the first half, while the crying doll came out in the middle of the half, crying and screaming when seeing them.

But... it doesn't seem to have any real bite to them.

If you think about it this way, these nesting dolls are more like a pusher to push them to the end.

So if the connection point can be cut off as Xu Zhuo said, then the ring will become a plane.

It is positive and negative is negative.

There won't be any loops inside, and if they're right on the back of the loop, it's equivalent to restarting a reverse start - and the front will never connect.

But is it really that easy to cut off the ring?

Also, how to cut it off?

"It seems that we are going to the residential area." Chen Shuang said, "There must be some connection point there, it should be the exit."

Lin Cheng quickly agreed.

Just as he was about to get up, he heard another loud noise from outside the monitor.

Sun Liang was holding on to a clock firmly, looking at Qian Shuai and the others, yelling in horror: "Don't come here!!"

Qian Shuai waved his hand: "We just saw you wrestling, so we wanted to ask if it's okay."

Sun Liang roared loudly, but still shouted not to come over.

The next moment, he directly smashed the clock in his hand.

Seeing this, Qian Cheng quickly blocked Qian Shuai.

There was a crash.

Qian Cheng's arm was bleeding.

At this moment, everyone realized that their clothes were clean this time.

There was no blood from the previous two at all.

"I woke up in the church this time, and there is really no wound on my body." Qian Cheng said, taking off his coat, "I know that the infection is now suspected to have occurred in the ruins, so this time Qian Guanyi and I are very careful. Matryoshka , slate, and even the ruins have never been visited.”

While talking, he winked at Qian Shuai and the others.

All three took off their coats.

It was really clean, without any traces.

After coming out of the church, they followed all the way to the city square, and then went to the supermarket, and they didn't fall behind at all.

This does seem to be safe.

"But... won't there be time to finish it?" Chen Shuang asked suddenly.

If the three of them have no wounds now, then someone must be infected at this time.

Lin Cheng thought for a while.

After a while, he scratched his head, and suddenly remembered that Xu Zhuo once said that triggering is necessary and triggering is not necessary.

"Brother." Lin Cheng shouted, then turned to look at Xu Zhuo, "Is this infection necessary—"

Before the words fell, he suddenly fell silent.

I saw Xu Zhuo leaning there quietly.

He lowered his eyes and covered his arms, his expression was still cold and unwavering under his cold brown hair.

But under the dim light, something seemed to emerge quietly.

It slowly extended from the wound on the arm, as if it had been lurking for a long time, and after swimming for a while, it appeared at the collar of the shirt.

In the end, it climbed onto Xu Zhuo's fair neck——

It was the familiar red and blue pattern.

The author has something to say: Thanks for reading.
