Chapter 8 Barrier At 5:15 in the morning, thick smog enveloped the entire city. Fengzi curled up in the cart, wearing only a thin piece of tattered felt picked up from the garbage dump. Her brows were furrowed in her sleep, and it was obvious that she was having some nightmare. It was not until Levi woke her up that she sat up from the car with a dazed look on her face. It took her a moment to wake up from her hazy and blank state. "626, didn't you get any rest at night?" "I slept for a while, but then I found out that the police were still searching in the middle of the night, so I didn't sleep anymore." After hearing his words, Fengzi realized that the alley they were in was no longer the familiar place. In order to avoid being hunted down at night, Levi had pushed her to move several times while she was sleeping. Seeing Fengzi's eager eyes and moved expression, Levi simply grabbed her collar and lifted her out of the stroller. His physique is superior to that of ordinary people. He doesn't feel very sleepy even if he just takes a short nap at night. Feng Zi simply wiped her face with the wet clothes soaked by the mist, and seemed to have recovered her spirits. Levi took her with him without stopping for anywhere. Both of them did not eat dinner or breakfast last night, but neither of them mentioned being hungry. They obviously don't have the energy to think about this now.
Before and after arriving at the designated train platform, Levi could see through the thick fog that it was already full of people. These were obviously laborers heading to the factory. There were men, women, young and old, all wearing worn linen clothes. It was unclear whether it was because they got up early or because the heavy work was depressing them, but there was almost no one talking in front of the platform. It was completely quiet. Levi walked over with grace, but did not attract anyone's attention. They were wearing the same linen clothes, and were not noticeable in the fog and the crowd. About 10 minutes later, in the distance, in the white space shrouded by haze, several sudden sounds came from far away and gradually got closer. "Mr. Zhang, why don't you pay compensation? My father is not an illegal resident. He signed a contract with the casino when he entered the casino. Now that he is dead, the casino should compensate according to the amount in the contract, right?" "My husband is the same. We all put our fingerprints on this contract. How can you just not give the compensation?" "My brother has been working in the field for 16 years. His wife and children all depend on him. Now that he has died, his family can't blame anyone else. But if not a penny is compensated, what will happen to his children and wife?" "." In the white fog, Zhang Ling, who was smoking a cigarette, was surrounded by a dozen men and women. Among them was even a child who looked no older than ten years old. Their faces did not look good, and could even be described as sad. Of course, the noise was also heard by the people around the station. They looked at the group of people in silence. Although they did not say anything, their eyes clearly revealed sympathy. "This is indeed a problem at the company, but you came to me, and I didn't issue the compensation. I can only take you to see the site manager to see if you can get the compensation. You can discuss it yourself when we get there." Leader Zhang seemed happy to see them causing trouble in the field, but he was unwilling to be the leader. After arriving at the station, he put out his cigarette, separated from the families of the workers who were demanding compensation, and searched among the crowd. He easily found Levi, who was almost a head taller than the others. Walking up to Levi, he took out a magnetic card and a contract from his pocket. "Sign here and write your name as Zhao Zihong. If you can't write, just use your fingerprint. This card is your identity card. It also states that you can bring one family member with you." Levi wrote down an unfamiliar name on the contract with a smile on his face, and then he took the card. This was obviously a means for the foreman to arrange for illegal residents to enter the site and directly give them a real identity. As for who the real Zhao Zihong was, that was not something Levi needed to consider. Her demeanor remained the same as yesterday. As long as there were outsiders around, she would always hold Levi's arm and lower her head. It wasn't that Levi asked her to do this, but the lame girl looked a bit socially anxious. It wasn't obvious when she was alone with Levi, but as long as there were unfamiliar people, her mouth would be like being sewn shut, and she would purse her lips and become mute. The train pierced through the white haze at six o'clock on time, and with a harsh noise, it slowly stopped in front of the platform.
The carriage doors opened and uniformed station attendants came out of each carriage. The workers lined up and boarded the train one by one holding the magnetic cards in their hands. However, today's ticket checking process has become obviously more complicated than in the past. The station attendants have two photos in their hands and verify the appearance of every person getting on the train. Fengzi held Li Wei's hand even tighter, and when it was their turn to get on the bus, the station attendant also casually compared it with the photo in his hand. Levi also glanced at the photo in his hand at this time. Obviously, the people in the photo are Fengzi and him. It’s just that the difference between her previous appearance of wearing a white lab coat, sitting in a wheelchair, with her silver hair meticulously groomed and looking at the camera with cold eyes and her current appearance of a non-mainstream ghost fire little girl is like that of a lone wolf and a Husky! The same goes for Levi. In the photo, he's wearing formal clothes and his hair is sprayed with hairspray. He looks more like a fashion model than a fashion model. There's no trace of his previous appearance at all. In addition, the station attendant was very perfunctory in the inspection. After confirming the information on the magnetic card, the two of them boarded the train. There were no seats on the train and everyone was standing, but even so it seemed extremely crowded. Levi stood in a corner with grace. They did not communicate, just watched the train slowly move forward. The speed of the train was not slow. Levi felt that it was about 100 kilometers per hour. It ran non-stop for more than two hours and they finally reached their destination. As you get off the carriage, you can clearly see the barrier that is so high that it connects the sky and the ground. Last night from Fengzi, Levi roughly learned some information about this world. The city they are in is called [Sun], an underground city. In other words, the sky that can be seen at this time is actually fake, the glowing clouds are purely man-made products, and the barrier that wraps the entire city is actually the hollowed-out earth's crust! When Levi first heard about this, he had no idea what level of scientific and technological capabilities the humans in this game had to accomplish this. However, the buildings, transportation and weapons displayed in the workers' community did not seem advanced, giving people a strange sense of incongruity. After walking down from the train with the crowd of workers, Fengzi asked quietly. "How do we leave?" Levi glanced around. There were factories spewing black smoke everywhere, and after getting off the bus, the workers went to their respective sites. The entire site seemed extremely large, like a small village, but there was no lack of security, and uniformed security guards could be seen patrolling from time to time. But these people only held a black stick in their hands and did not carry a gun. "How far is it from here where we are going?" " kilometers." Feng Zi said this number extremely accurately. Before she escaped, she had already memorized the map of the entire city. "Let's wait until night. It's hard to move during the day. Besides, we haven't eaten for almost a day, so we can at least get a meal at noon." (End of this chapter)
