I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 846 Entering the Dream City
The underlying logic of DreamNet must be "stable", and it will not be startled by various trivial matters, nor will it react violently due to unfounded inferences.

The most important thing for a data network that manages an entire city is to "get it right".

Therefore, it will ignore reports of "bowing and serving the powerful".

Faced with such unprocessable reports, Mengwang's choice is to shelve them indefinitely until a real problem arises, at which point it will use the existing experience in the database to resolve the problem.

"But no one knows what problems will arise. Once these problems arise, even DreamNet may not be able to solve them..."

"My uncle's research notes say that dream gas is a very dangerous substance. We must be 100% vigilant and must scrap expired robots at the appropriate time. But now the deadline is approaching and DreamNet is still shelving the issue."

"The team that was researching robots was gone, and no one took this matter seriously, so it would just keep dragging on."

The other party kept complaining to Li Luo, and Li Luo didn't know how to respond. In the end, he could only comfort him: "If I see the Terrorist Army again, I will help you."

After replying, Li Luo patted the block beside him and said softly, "Thank you for your help."

This is certainly not a problem for Mo Ling. Since the Terrorist troops are everywhere in Mengdu, he will definitely encounter them again. When the time comes, he will just have to observe them carefully.

Thinking of this, Mo Ling's control block trembled and agreed to Li Luo's request.

On the other side of the screen, the other party realized that he might have said too much, so he thanked Li Luo and didn't reply again.

Perhaps he can't find anyone to talk to, so he vents all his troubles on the Internet. If what he said is true, it is easy to understand his behavior.

"After all, this can be considered as an explanation to my missing uncle..."

Li Luo sighed and closed the dialog box. She had more important things to do.

She opened the search bar and began searching for a way to reach the sixth level of the Abyss.

But when she clicked on the search button, a prompt box popped up that she had never expected.

"Controlled content, cannot be searched."

Regulated content?

Li Luo was stunned for a moment, then opened the Zhuang Zhou Forum again and started searching for the same content.

This time, the same prompt box popped up again.

Both searches showed the same prompt box, with the edge of the prompt box wrapped in a layer of colorful bubble film, which was exactly the same style as the icons on the Mengwang homepage, which was very special.

"Did DreamNet directly intervene in my search?" Li Luo quickly realized what was happening, but she was also even more confused.

"Is the information leading to the sixth floor confidential and not allowed to be disclosed?"

On the Zhuang Zhou forum, which is so free that it is a bit chaotic, even searching is not allowed. How confidential is this information?
Li Luo tried other methods but was unable to obtain any useful information.

It was not until she opened the "Guide" interface of DreamNet that she found an instruction to "go to the lower level".

When I clicked on this guide, there was no information at all, only a simple sentence: Please go to Mengdu Research Institute.

"Do I have to be so careful even with the guidance information?" Li Luo was stunned and closed the guidance interface.

She really couldn't imagine what kind of way of getting there would require such strict secrecy. But now at least she knew the direction, so she wasn't completely in the dark.

"Mengdu Research Institute, what a coincidence..."

Before going to Mengdu Research Institute, Li Luo had to buy some supplies, so she opened the map and began searching for nearby shops.

As soon as the search results came out, Li Luo was dazzled.

"So many? The resources in Mengdu are surprisingly rich."

She randomly picked a nearby one and walked over.

The ground was covered with a black hard surface. It was hard to tell whether it was stone or metal. There was no sound when one stepped on it. Perhaps it was some kind of special material.

Passing through a low entrance, Li Luo officially arrived in the city. When he saw the mountains of "black blocks" under the neon lights, Li Luo, like Mo Ling, was deeply shocked.

Those black building block houses should be made of the same material as the road under Li Luo's feet, with a dull matte finish. When the neon lights all over the city shine on them, a soft halo will appear. Lights of various colors converge together, giving people a dizzy feeling.

Although it reflects colorful light, you can still see that the essence of the material is black, and the surface is between smooth and rough. At some angles, you can see very bright reflections, while at other angles it will absorb the neon shining on it.

Li Luo speculated that those materials might have some kind of "multidirectionality", with completely different properties in different directions.

When you first enter the isolation bubble, you should be just on the outskirts of the city, which is still an ordinary "flat" surface. After passing through the entrance, the entire city immediately becomes "three-dimensional".

There are various paths between the stacked building blocks, some of which lead upwards, some lead downwards, and some are winding and no one knows where they lead to.

Those messy building blocks also do not follow the orientation rules at all. They can be at any angle, causing the roads between them to be wide or narrow. Many of them are crooked and even the direction is uncertain.

Not only that, these building blocks of different sizes are not only used as "buildings". Some of them are hollow, some are solid, and the tops of some building blocks are also used as roads. In some places, a huge space is forcibly created by a pile of solid building blocks, which is then divided into many small areas.

"It's so messy." Li Luo couldn't help but complain.

After observing for a while and checking the map, she walked towards the stacked buildings.

Not long after walking, Li Luo deeply felt the three-dimensionality of the city.

Even though I was looking at the map, I almost went the wrong way several times.

The two similar forks lead to very different places. Some roads take a long way around and end up back at the original route.

Some passages are hidden behind buildings and can only be found by going around under the buildings.

The map of Mengdu has been made very detailed, and it will change in real time according to Li Luo's location, but she still often stops to study the map in comparison with the surrounding environment.

Those shining neon lights and the same old building blocks are quite counterproductive when it comes to finding your way around. You’ll often end up in places that seem “familiar,” but they appear to be two completely different places on the map.

Although the map showed it was very close, it still took Li Luo a long time to find the store that sold supplies.

There was no one in the shop. The small store was unusually bright under the colorful lights. Several surveillance cameras were hung on the ceiling, and the goods were piled up on the shelves without any protection. There was an electronic sign that was always on in a conspicuous position in the shop.

"Self-service shopping, payment through Mengwang."
