Chapter 199 Acting Alone
The pedestrian street area has a relatively large flow of people in the city, making it very suitable for setting up stalls and doing business.
Feng Ling remembered that there was a similar place in Qingjiang City. Before the alien creatures appeared, Qingjiang's snack streets were connected one after another, brightly lit and very lively.
Some neighborhoods can even be lively until 2 a.m.
Later, Qingjiang City was listed as a high-risk area and a curfew was imposed in the urban area. Shops closed one after another at 8 o'clock in the evening, and there was no one on the streets at 9 o'clock.
Of course, it doesn’t mean you are absolutely forbidden to go out at night.
For example, if you suddenly fall ill or work overtime and are still wandering outside late at night, you will be discovered by the patrol team and questioned as a suspicious person. At this time, you can only cooperate with the patrol police.
The citizens of Guangshan City seem to be different from those of Qingjiang City, and their cooperation is relatively poor.
The patrol car stopped here for more than 20 minutes, but there were still many vendors lingering and unwilling to leave, and there were also many people wandering around. They took the opportunity to buy some jelly or fried yogurt and ate while watching the fun.
The police officers seemed to have experience in this and had mastered a certain rhythm. In the first twenty minutes, they used loudspeakers to urge everyone to leave. After twenty minutes, their attitudes became tougher and they started to take action, involving physical dragging.
Xu Yiming was worried about them when he saw them in the car.
Seeing an old man slowly packing up his stall, and obviously wanting to delay time, he couldn't help but persuade him: "Uncle! Go back quickly, you won't make much money even if you continue to dawdle. It's so comfortable to go home and rest. Alas, you are really not afraid of death..."
The old man tied the plastic stool to the cart and said nonchalantly, "I burn incense and pray for blessings every year. If the City God refuses to bless me, there is nothing I can do."
Xu Yiming was speechless.
Feng Ling heard the conversation between the two in the carriage and turned back to Li Qing and said, "It seems that people here have the habit of worshipping gods. This morning, the proprietress worshipped the God of Wealth, and this old man worshipped the God of City."
Li Qing nodded in a speechless manner, "Yes, the culture of gods and Buddhas here is very complicated..."
He studied it for three days but still couldn't figure it out. Almost every household here worships gods, and their ways are different.
Feng Ling asked him: "Which god is the most powerful?"
Li Qing thought that you had hit the point. According to the idea of conquering the maze, the Lord of the Maze is likely to be the most powerful god, but...
"There is no most powerful god. Different gods are worshipped on different festivals. Families worship family gods, villages worship village gods, and temples worship temple gods. Each god is in charge of his own affairs." Li Qing replied.
This is the result of his three days of research.
Feng Ling was impressed: "The gods have all been arranged clearly here."
She turned her head and looked at Huangfu Miaomiao, "It's almost time, get ready to get off the car, find a crack in the wall to hide, and let's go back to the construction site first, otherwise a large truck parked on the road will be too eye-catching."
Huangfu Miaomiao nodded seriously, took a deep breath, and quickly turned into a ghost.
A ghost figure emerged from a pile of clothes, completely black. It was as if a shadow had appeared in the car for no reason. The only way to identify it as Huangfu Miaomiao was by a butterfly hairpin in the shadow.
Feng Ling said, "Why don't you wear the hairpin? It's a bit of a hindrance. Just wear a camera."
She reached out to take away the butterfly hairpin, but Huangfu Miaomiao was still unwilling and shrank back.
Feng Ling sighed helplessly, "Okay, whatever you want."
Xu Yiming came to the back of the car to look for Feng Ling: "There's almost no one on the street, let's go too."
"Yeah." Feng Ling nodded.
Xu Yiming hurried to the front to start the truck, and Huangfu Miaomiao also prepared to find a place to hide.
A black shadow slid down the carriage and moved on the street with a small hairpin on top.
Feng Ling looked at her sneaky appearance, and his calm heart couldn't help but feel some ripples.
"If we are discovered, run faster when you escape." Feng Ling said to the shadows and then closed the carriage door.
The truck's headlights turned on, and it slowly drove away, avoiding the tricycles and various carts that were packing up their stalls.
Huangfu Miaomiao moved along the wall, feeling empty and panicky.
The first time she acted alone...
Ah, not the first time either.
When she first logged in, she always acted alone... Now it feels like she has gone back to the old days, alone, with only herself to rely on.
Huangfu Miaomiao felt a little uncomfortable. She moved in the darkness, looking for a suitable hiding place.
The streets were cleared of people.
The lights in nearby shops also went out.
The red lights on the patrol car kept flashing, and the police officer returned to the car and left the street a few moments later.
The street, which was bustling just a moment ago, suddenly became silent and dead.
Huangfu Miaomiao carefully hid herself in a gauze window, blending into the darkness, and observed the situation on the street with bated breath.
She didn't have a watch on her, so she didn't know the exact time, but she guessed it was probably less than nine o'clock.
The players will definitely arrive early, right?
Just now there was a patrol car, so the player might not dare to get too close to this street, but now the patrol car has gone away. Where is the player she contacted on the forum...
There was a string in her heart that was taut.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Huangfu Miaomiao waited in agony, encouraging herself in her heart: You can do it, you will be fine.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no one on the street, but there was new news on the virtual screen.
She opened the message nervously, only to see the other party asking: "Have you arrived? I don't see you."
arrive?
where is it???
Huangfu Miaomiao looked towards the door of the breakfast shop in panic, but there was no one there!
The other party sent another message: You are not kidding me, are you?
Huangfu Miaomiao felt a heart-pounding tremor.
How to do?How to do?
What should she do now? Should she reply to the message? It seems that she has been suspected by the other party!
Feng Ling rarely assigns her a mission, so she won’t mess it up, right?
Huangfu Miaomiao tried to calm down.
The other person must be nearby, and her vision can see the location of the breakfast shop, so she knows that she is not at the door.
How to find each other...
She racked her brains, trying to think, and then couldn't help looking up.
The buildings here are not tall, only four or five stories high, and there are terraces on the roofs for drying clothes.
If you are on the roof, you can not only clearly observe the situation on the street, but also avoid the road cameras along the street.
Let’s take a look at it above…
Huangfu Miaomiao adjusted her breathing and controlled her body to move upstairs, moving carefully and slowly.
Sure enough, she spotted a dark figure on the rooftop across the street.
She was a very tall and thin woman.
He was so thin that he looked almost like a skeleton, and because he was tall, his limbs looked particularly thin and long. He stood there motionless, looking extremely eerie and terrifying.
Huangfu Miaomiao was frightened, and her shadow against the wall couldn't help but shrink, and even her bow hairpin trembled slightly.
The woman's dark eyes were staring straight downstairs, and she didn't notice Huangfu Miaomiao's presence.
Huangfu Miaomiao opened the virtual screen timidly and replied: I was held up by the patrol and can't come. Let's make an appointment tomorrow.
Ahhhh it's too late again! There's one more chapter that will be posted later!
