Human dimension reduction

The puppet kicked its feet in turn, sat down on the table, and turned its face with blood-red smiling lips towards Qiao Zhou. Although there was no expression or superfluous words, the aura around it was full of "take me away" desire to survive.

Qiao Zhou gave it a meaningful look, and didn't remind the puppet that it should be considered a member of the monster, and there was no need to be so sympathetic and frightened.

But the urgent task is not this, but...

"Huh? What is this?"

The puppet lay on the gap between the long case and the wall, stretched its head and looked around the gap. There were two wooden boxes under the long case. It didn't know what it saw. After looking at it for a long time, it waved to Qiao Zhou: " There seems to be something there."

Qiao Zhou glanced at the gap, and didn't intend to walk over to probe together at all. He picked up the puppet, straightened it into a long strip, and hung it over the gap. When he loosened his fingers, the puppet smashed with a bang. into the gap between the box and the wall.

"??? Qiao Zhou, you—"

The puppet's cursing was kept in its mouth, and then there was a muffled sound as it smashed into the crack of the wall.

"What did you find?" Qiao Zhou knelt down and knocked on the wooden box as if he hadn't heard what the puppet had said.

The puppet rustled behind for a while, and slowly crawled out from the gap. The log-colored body was covered with thick dust, and even the blood-red smile was dimmed a lot.

It is holding a few pieces of worn-out paper stacked together that can no longer see its original appearance, and these papers are stacked higher than one of its dolls, which makes the picture look a bit funny.

Qiao Zhou stretched out two fingers to pick up a small corner of the paper, glanced at the dirty puppet, and casually took a piece of white silk for a shroud belt from Lan Yin's table, wrapped the puppet around its head, and kneaded it in the cloth. After a few handfuls, let go of your hand and let it clean itself.

The paper seemed to have fallen in the cracks of the wall for a long, long time. It was damaged by moisture and mildew in many places and dried in the shade. The edge was so brittle that Qiao Zhou shook it and a piece of paper fell off.

Qiao Zhou carefully placed this thing on the table, and fiddled with it for a long time before unfolding it. The paper was the most common kind of yellow paper, with vertical red lines printed on it, like a letter... It might also be possible. Is it a diary letter?

The words on the header could not be read clearly, the ink was blurred, and most of the top one was blurred into a ball. It took Qiao Zhou a long time to read it clearly before he could see clearly the words "serious drought", "daoyou starved to death", "starved people" Cannibalism" and "sick disease again".

Looking at the content above, it should be Lan Yin's father who wrote these words, and the story is about the chaotic years of Lan Yin's childhood in the capital city.

The three sheets of paper were glued together, Qiao Zhou separated them carefully, and placed the first sheet at the bottom after reading it. The second sheet had only a few words, except for the year and month on the header, there was only a short line of words.

"Lan Yin was not as good as he was, and saw a fierce epidemic again. The youngest son, He Gu, was in a difficult situation of life and death."

The writing was weak, and the tone was sad and helpless. Apart from the pain of facing the child's death, there was a strange anger in his tone, as if he was questioning something.

The third piece of paper has fewer words, but it has a little joyful life.

"The weather is fine, and Lan is ecstatic because she has recovered from her illness."

He was going to keep flipping through, when footsteps came from outside the door, Qiao Zhou grabbed the puppet with one hand and folded up the paper with the other hand and stuffed it all into his sleeve pocket, Lan Yin pushed the door abruptly the next second.

Seeing that Qiao Zhou had already changed his clothes, Lan Yin's face clearly showed regret and disappointment, which was just right, not too sticky but also a little ambiguous.

Qiao Zhou ignored his expression, and walked past him holding the cane, "I'll return it to you after I wash it."

Seeing him wrapping his wet clothes in his arms and looking like he was about to walk towards the courtyard gate, Lan Yin suddenly said from behind him: "You want to go back?"

Qiao Zhou looked at the sky, and then at him, with an expression of knowingly asking.

The fire in Wan's house happened in the middle of the night. They stood outside to watch for a long time, and then came back to rest for a while. It was already bright, and a new day had begun. He was not a vagrant, and he had to go back to the clinic for consultation.

Lan Yin smiled at him: "I don't know what's going on outside, it's so noisy, don't go back, sleep here tonight?"

Qiao Zhou's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Very noisy?

Monsters started hunting outsiders?

Nalan...why didn't she intend to kill him?What Lan Yin said obviously meant that he had already discovered that he was not an aborigine.

It can't be said that it was because of some ridiculous love at first sight, let alone Lan Yin, even Qiao Zhou would laugh when he heard it.

Regardless of other things, non-human monsters... can they really understand what human emotions are?

Is this racial segregation?

Qiao Zhou thought wildly for a moment, his face remained calm, and he took a step back as if he was in deep thought. Lan Yin waited patiently for him to consider, and saw the young doctor shook his head, politely nodded and rejected him: "No need, there are still patients in the clinic waiting for me to go back and change his medicine. See you tomorrow, Lan."

Seeing that he refused, Lan Yin didn't persuade him any more. She still stood there, holding the door frame with one hand, looked at him with a slight smile, and said softly, "If you want, you can come back anytime, and I will leave the light for you."

Qiao Zhou looked at him for a while, then suddenly laughed, "Thank you, but there's no need."

He pushed open the courtyard door and went out, and closed the door behind his back, completely blocking Lan Yin's sight.

Lan Yin didn't lie to him, the whole magic capital has gone crazy, like a pot of boiling soup with countless bubbles, countless monsters poured out of the house like a tide, and the curly-haired and slender beauty's face was cracked across the face There are huge gaps in the ears, the gecko-like tongue pops out, sniffing the air, the man in the suit and leather shoes is on all fours, swimming along the wall to the roof as if his bones were broken, digging three feet to search for the unhidden alien. By.

Qiao Zhou stood on the tall bell tower, and poked a long-clothed monster that was swimming up the wall of the bell tower and tried to sneak up on him with his cane. The monster with a human body and a face that had already begun to dissimilate hissed and roared, seeing through him The cane on his chest was nothing, and he was frantically swinging his limbs trying to break free. The yellow vertical pupils unique to reptiles stared fixedly at Qiao Zhou's face, full of the desire to take a bite.

The puppet sat on Qiao Zhou's shoulders. Lan Yin's clothes were all exquisitely crafted, embroidered with lush branches and leaves from chest to shoulders, and it could just catch the protrusions at the corners of the branches and leaves, and sit comfortably on them.

"There are two more." The puppet turned its head 180 degrees, turned to look behind Qiao Zhou, and reminded.

Qiao Zhou pulled out the cane that pierced through the chest of the long-clothed monster, and shook the sticky green liquid on it. Before the thing could pounce on him and bite him, his figure disappeared in place, and immediately appeared in front of the two newly climbed things. Kicked them off the bell tower one by one.

The bell tower is not for people to stand and watch the scenery. The corners are very narrow. The monster with a hole in its chest pierced by a cane screamed and rushed forward. Throwing the cane, he poked the unlucky thing into the dial of the clock tower again along the original opening, kicking with his feet hanging in the air like dried bacon.

"Wow, are you showing kindness to save people? Then why didn't you save the two just now?" The puppet turned its head from behind again and asked curiously.

Qiao Zhou was speechless slightly: "I didn't intend to save him."

He tiptoed lightly like a white bird, stepped on the decorative relief of the bell tower which was less than a palm wide, and took two steps forward, his eyes fixed on the street below.

The puppet followed his line of sight and looked down. A thrilling escape from the temple was going on below. A young man in commoner clothes was running wildly in front, followed by a mighty army of monsters. Under such a thrilling environment, the young man tossed and turned Moving around like a fox, he used the terrain to do some tricks from time to time, walking around the monsters that were chasing after him, and he was able to make a way out for himself without being caught by any monsters. caught.

The puppet looked at the action guide, which was comparable to a maze royale textbook, and was amazed: "Does he have any special powers? Hey, hey, hey! Awesome, he escaped! Wow! This is not bad, and he can still pass from above? "

It yelled in Qiao Zhou's ear as if it was watching a show, and watched it with relish. Qiao Zhou frowned impatiently. The puppet didn't notice his dislike. : "Huh? Have I seen this person before?"

Although the puppet pays great attention to hiding itself when there are outsiders, it can't hold back its curiosity and sneaks half of its head out of its pocket to look outside. The person below... it seems to have seen it?

Qiao Zhou said "Well", "It's the outpost that came in for rescue, and he is the leading captain."

"Tsk tsk tsk, is it a captain? Can it still be discovered?" The puppet gloated and laughed.

Qiao Zhou didn't speak, and looked down at Zhou Jianqing who ran around the clock tower twice, throwing off a few monsters who were about to touch the hem of his clothes, and was trying to escape by another route.

But he searched and searched and couldn't find a safer way. Millions of monsters rioted in the whole magic city, and the streets were full of things waiting to catch outsiders for tooth sacrifice. The crowd tactics are the most difficult to crack, without hot weapons. No matter how powerful he is in fighting alone, he can't escape from death.

And Zhou Jianqing was very anxious at the moment, his team members, and those survivors who survived all kinds of hardships... Will they all die today?The more than 500 million people trapped in the black hole are going to die like this? !

In the distance, the members of the Sharp Knife Squad that Zhou Jianqing was hanging on were also running for their lives. Zhou Jianqing still knew the cause and effect. They didn't even know what happened. The person suddenly stopped, mumbling something in his mouth, and then changed his face when he turned his face!

There was a long tongue sticking out of his face, and his hands and feet were twisted like twists and turns. Looking at them, a cold air rushed to the sky, and the next second, those things started chasing them like crazy.

Fortunately, it was early in the morning when the mutation happened, and there were not many team members who went out to search for survivors. The rest were at the stronghold to protect the people, so as not to fall into the ocean of this...monster war.

But to be honest, the survivors who stayed in the stronghold... were not particularly lucky.

Zhou Jianqing and his team were still weak in manpower. They only found 130 or 13 survivors, including [-] injured people. After meeting Yao Li, they transferred the [-] people to the clinic for care. At least they had medical support. Two players are left for protection.

The problem is that in this clinic...

There is also a former clinic director who is now a vegetative patient who was overwhelmed by Qiao Zhou.

So when everyone was unprepared, this thing suddenly went berserk.

The two team members took a lot of effort to tie the man up and stuff them into the storage room, but six survivors ran out of the clinic in a panic, and were dragged into the crowd of monsters on the street, which also attracted monsters Curious about this clinic.

Nearly 20 people, including Yao Li and Zhong Qi, were forced to flee in all directions. Whether they can survive depends on their own abilities.

Seeing that Zhou Jianqing was about to be caught by a cheongsam monster, Qiao Zhou pulled out the cane stuck on the wall of the clock tower with one hand, and the monster on it was also pulled out. It opened its mouth wide and let out a few loud grunts before being thrown away by Qiao Zhou Like a cake, it flew out in the air, hitting the cheongsam monster right on the head, and with the rest of its strength, it drifted out ten meters away, overturning a series of pursuers.

Rescue from Heaven stunned Zhou Jianqing for a moment. He immediately judged the direction of the person and looked up at the bell tower. The man who was used to carrying a sniper rifle had a good look. The scarlet pattern on the hem of the gown can be clearly seen, and at the same time, the memory of passing by a few hours ago flashed back quickly——

—Is that the foreigner? !How could he be there?He is also an outsider?His posture seems to be easy to do, do you know something?He... wait, is he a colleague?Or a spy?After all, what he showed just now is not something that ordinary people without training can do, but to be honest, if he is really a spy, if someone who grows up like this is allowed to be a spy, will his chief's mind be stuffed? Soak shit?

Zhou Jianqing's thoughts were chaotic, but the monster behind him did not stop, but this time their attention had been drawn to the people on the clock tower by the sudden disaster.

They rushed towards the bell tower like a tide, Zhou Jianqing's instinct to protect the people made him subconsciously turn around and go to the direction of the bell tower to meet his temporary teammates, but the condescending gaze above the bell tower floated over coldly, as if he was disgusted with him Mind your own business.

Zhou Jianqing was stunned for a moment, and quickly judged the situation. Seeing the foreign friend standing on top with a calm expression, he immediately made an internationally accepted gesture of thanks to him, and at the same time asked if he needed help. His eyes returned, so he no longer hesitated, and ran to the temporary stronghold.

"...You also think he is very interesting, so you want to save him?" The puppet asked while grabbing Qiao Zhou's clothes.

Qiao Zhou shook off the sticky green blood on the cane, looked down at the wriggling and climbing things around the bell tower, and frowned: "It has nothing to do with him, I just hate this kind of thing that hasn't played well yet. If you want to experience the experience of being forced to delete files and start over again, if the internal test is not done well, don’t release it to attract players. Now because players have taken an unexpected route, they say that the game has crashed and all accounts must be cleared and restarted. The plan for this game is ten yuan. Did you buy it in a package from three stalls? If there is a problem, turn off the server?"

Qiao Zhou reprimanded in dissatisfaction: "No professional ethics! Low professional standards! Could it be that you can't learn how to patch or pay lines?! Haven't you heard the saying that you can make a lot of money by spending lines?!"

The puppet was stunned, and after a while he stammered and asked, "Then, what are you going to do?"

Qiao Zhou glanced at him and sneered, "Why does it shut down the server when it says shut down? I haven't played this plot to the end, and cheating consumption is bad."

One hand touched the relief of the clock tower, without lifting his eyelids, Qiao Zhou stretched out his cane to push it down, his figure flashed, and disappeared into the air, leaving a group of monsters who were about to climb to the top blankly facing the huge The clock is in a daze.
