The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 168 Online dating
"City A doesn't exist at all," Ronnie answered as expected.

"I don't think that's accurate."

Xiran pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose seriously: "It can only be said that City A cannot go to the foggy world that we awakeners are currently exploring, but it does not mean that it does not exist. No one knows what is in the fog."

"There may be nothing in the fog," Ronnie said.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" cans can can can can can's tugged on the hair and shouted: "you two, stop talking about this topic, my ears are about to get calluses! Let’s talk about online dating, isn’t online dating fun!"

As soon as this can was mentioned, he became angry and puffed up his face: "I'm so angry that my last roommate is also single! Tonight he actually went on a date with a guy without telling me!"

Gao Yang smiled faintly: "I'm also more interested in online dating."

Actually not, but the atmosphere should not be too solemn before performing the task.

The topic of worldview is still too serious.

Xi Ran was stunned for a moment and looked at Gao Yang, as if hesitating whether to say anything.

"Say it." Gao Yang encouraged him.

"Then I said it." Xi Ran smiled shyly.

"That's right!" Can Gu patted Xi Ran's shoulder hard: "Speak out boldly! We will help you solve your problems!"

"When I was in elementary school, I wrote an essay called my mother." Xi Ran licked his lips and looked down at his clasped hands: "I have been dependent on my mother since I was a child. Life is not easy. Sorry, I am off topic. Already..."

"Anyway, that essay won an award and was published in a monthly magazine for primary school students."

Xiran glanced at everyone and continued: "Not long after, I received a letter from a pen pal in City A. Her name is Lin Mengjuan, she is the same age as me. She said in the letter that after reading my composition I was very touched. She also grew up with her mother. When she saw the address of our school at the bottom of the essay, she wrote me a letter."

The car drove smoothly, the cabin was very quiet, and everyone listened intently.

"That's how we became pen pals. At that time, I had not yet awakened and had no idea that City A did not exist."

Xi Ran smiled as he recalled happy things: "We wrote letters every month, shared our lives, and sent photos to each other. Later, when the Internet developed, we chatted online. She didn't video chat with me, but she did. We’ll talk on the phone sometimes.”

"This continued until I was in my senior year of high school. I originally planned to go to City A to find Lin Mengjuan during the summer vacation of my senior year of high school. She was also very happy and said she was looking forward to meeting me."

Xi Ran didn't say any more.

"Then you woke up." Gao Yang guessed.

"Yes, my math teacher is also an awakened person. He learned about my plan to go to City A during the summer vacation. He confirmed through testing that I was a human being and told me the truth about the world. Soon I realized my talent and awakened."

"It can be said that the math teacher saved my life." A trace of sadness flashed in Xiran's eyes: "But he died not long after, maybe he was exposed, I don't know. Later, I was dug up by people from the Qilin Union, Joined the union.”

"Xi Ran, are you still chatting with that girl now?" Gao Yang asked.

Xiran nodded: "Yes, although I have given up the idea of ​​seeing her, I still share my life with her like a friend, but I will definitely not tell her about the awakened ones."

"Have you ever thought about what she is?" Gao Yang continued to ask.

Xi Ran nodded: "I must have thought about it. It might be a program, a string of codes, an AI, or some kind of mysterious and unknown existence."

"It can't be human anyway," Ronnie said firmly.

"Probably I will never know what Lin Mengjuan is in this life."

Xi Ran smiled dejectedly: "But sometimes I think, it's not bad like this. My mother died when I was a freshman in high school, and I had the idea of ​​​​suicide. She kept encouraging me, and I got through it. Regardless of her Whatever it is, I’m very grateful to her.”

Gao Yang was silent. Comforting and enlightening were not his strengths.

Suddenly, he remembered Officer Huang's philosophy of life.

"Someone once told me." Gao Yang repeated calmly: "This world is false, but love is real."

Xi Ran was startled slightly, and a complicated light flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, a grateful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Thank you, captain, I think I understand."

"Wow, it's so profound. I feel like I understand it, but I feel like I don't." Can Can frowned and thought hard for a while, and finally sighed: "Forget it, I'll just play my game."

"Captain, your friend is alive and well." The gray hero driving the car was quite approving.

Ronnie was also lost in thought.

Manshe was not interested in this kind of topic. He looked out the car window with cold eyes and played with his throwing knife in his hand. …

At one o'clock in the morning, cars from groups 4 and 5 parked outside the gate of No. 11 Middle School.

Group 4 arrived first. After getting off the bus, the group went straight into No. 11 without waiting for Group 5, completely pretending they didn't exist.

After the people in Group 5 got off the bus, Hui Xiong stretched out his hand: "Come on, come on!"

Gao Yang was stunned: I'm going, I almost forgot, Hui Xiong, why are you more active than me?

Everyone formed a circle and put their palms on top of each other.

After investigation, it seemed that there was no need for any talent, so Gao Yang decided not to copy it for the time being.

"Everything goes well." Gao Yang shouted.

"Everything goes well." Everyone replied in unison and each withdrew their hands.

People from Group 5 walked to the gate of 11th Middle School, and Gao Yang began to make arrangements: "Xi Ran, Ronnie, you two guard the gate of the school to ensure that no unrelated people break in. If there is any situation, contact me immediately and don't act without authorization. The others will follow me. Walk."

"Yes."

"Understood."

Gao Yang, Hui Xiong, Manshe and Can Can climbed through the window and entered the guard room, and then came to the campus.

They walked on the tree-lined avenue and soon spotted four groups.

The people in Group 4 are very confident and every member is spread out.

Black Bird wandered around the playground with a flashlight and walked towards the flag-raising platform.

The light of Xiangdie's flashlight appeared in the corridor on the third floor of the teaching building.

The remaining three male team members went to the canteen, student dormitory and staff building respectively.

Jiuhan, the captain of Group 4, was sitting in the auditorium on the concrete platform of the open-air basketball court with a serious look on his face, like a general sitting in a military tent.

Gao Yang had experienced too many emergencies and acted more cautiously. He did not let the team members investigate separately, but acted together.

They first went to the teaching building and checked classroom by classroom.

Every classroom is similar, nothing more than abandoned desks, broken windows, thick dust and cobwebs.

Can Can wears a glass bracelet on her hand. This is the level 3 empowering equipment she received. This bracelet contains black metal and has been empowered by perception talents. Once it encounters a powerful creature, the light will be even stronger. , can be regarded as half a "radar".

Can Can was nervous throughout the whole process and kept staring at the glass beads in his hand, startled every now and then.

"I lost it! Look! The bracelet seems to be a little brighter!"

"No, it's psychological."

"I'm dii diu diu! It's really brighter this time! Look!"

"It's the moonlight that's coming in."

……

Soon, the three of them had checked all the classrooms.

Gao Yang thought for a while, but there was still one place he hadn't gone to: the rooftop.

Judging from Gao Yang Yuefan’s countless experiences, the rooftop has always been a high-risk accident spot and must not be missed.

Four people came to the rooftop with flashlights.

The lock on the door leading to the rooftop was broken, and the rusty iron door was ajar.

As the tank in the team, Gray Hero walked at the front very consciously and took the initiative to open the door.

After confirming that there was no danger, he waved to his teammates behind him, and the others followed him to the rooftop.

As soon as Gao Yang stood still, a figure appeared in the corner of his eye.
