Chapter 109 Meeting
"You actually guessed it right."

CC was very surprised when he saw dozens of hafnium alloy safes piled up in front of him.

She did have some doubts about Lin Xian's judgment, but facts speak louder than words:

"How did you do it? I've studied it... The places where these garbage trucks dump garbage are really calculated in real time. Sometimes the same truck has to unload at two places. Can you predict this?"

"It's hard to explain, but it's not important."

Lin Xian glanced at the monitoring room in the distance. The new supervisor was still looking at the air in front of him and grinning. If he was careful, there shouldn't be any risk:
"Hurry, find Lin Xian's safe. We don't have much time left. We only have 14 minutes."

"Why? Why only 14 minutes?"

CC was full of questions.

"This is also hard to explain...just listen to me."

Lin Xian quickly rushed out with his back bent.

Time is precious these days, so how can we have the time to explain CC's worldview? Besides, even if we explain it, he will forget it tomorrow, which is a waste of time.

"You go look over there, I'll look over here. Be careful when you look, keep your body low, and don't let the supervisor see you."

"it is good."

After showing these two tricks just now, CC obviously trusted Lin Xian more. He listened to Lin Xian's words and hid to the other side. The two of them searched for the safe separately.

Wei Shengjin...

Wang Shuo...

Among the messy and tilted hafnium alloy safes, Lin Xian saw two familiar names.

In the bank warehouse in the first dream, all the safes were embedded in the walls, and the safes of these two people were right next to him.

Especially Wei Shengjin’s safe, which is just to the right of his own safe.

When CC used the oxyacetylene torch to cut the safe, he was afraid of damaging the things inside...he started with Wei Shengjin's safe.

But the reality went against one's wishes. In front of the powerful aerospace material new hafnium alloy, the 3000-degree high-temperature spray gun was like tickling and could not do any harm to Wei Shengjin.

Finding the safe was much easier than Lin Xian thought. After all, if the name was wrong, he could just glance over it and forget about it.

And I have to say, they were lucky that none of the safes were close to the ground with the nameplate facing down, which made their search much easier. The only two safes facing down were placed on top of other safes, so they could just squat and see the names on the nameplates.

I looked at all kinds of names.

But Lin Xian just couldn't find his safe.

He looked at CC, who was crouching over and walking towards him:

"did you find it?"

CC shook his head:
"No, I've checked everything. Lin Xian's safe is not here."

"what happened."

Lin Xian looked around at the number of safes, and then compared them with the bank warehouse in his memory:
"The number is wrong. There shouldn't be so few safes. There should be at least over a hundred, maybe even two hundred."

"That means the remaining safes have not been shipped out yet."

Unlike Lin Xian, CC's tone was very calm, as if this result had been expected:
"The next batch of garbage trucks will arrive at 00:57. The remaining safes should be loaded on that batch of garbage trucks. Lin Xian's safe should be on one of the trucks."

"No, how do you know so clearly?"

Lin Xian was very strange.

In fact, he had been feeling strange for a long time. Why did CC know accurately that the hafnium alloy safes would be unloaded here today?
But I was busy opening the safe, so I didn't ask her about it.

But now...

CC must have her own unique source of intelligence and may know a lot of information about Xindonghai City!
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to know exactly what time the garbage truck will arrive at the garbage disposal plant.

"How do you know this information?"

Lin Xian took off the Rhine Cat mask on his face and looked directly at CC:

"And how do you know so much about it? You even know the time when the garbage truck will come. That's too much. Even the workers at the garbage disposal plant may not have such accurate information, right?"

"It's because of this."

CC took out a small object from his pocket and opened his palm for Lin Xian to see.

It was a thing that hung on the ear, like a Bluetooth headset.

Very familiar.

Lin Xian turned his head to look at the monitoring room in the middle of the garbage disposal plant, and stared at the monitor in front of him who was grinning at the air.

He wore the same thing on his ears.

"What is this?"

"I don't know what this thing is called either." CC held the thing that looked like a Bluetooth headset and examined it:
"But this is a device that every garbage treatment plant worker wears. When you wear it on your ear, a TV-like screen will appear in front of your eyes, and you can operate it with your eyes. It's very advanced."

Lin Xian understood.

It seems that there is something similar in 2023 when he lives.

Google Glass, VR glasses, holographic glasses...the products are called all kinds of names, but at their core they are all the same thing.

The lenses of these glasses are actually a special display that can display electronic information. In addition, there are small devices on the frames and lenses that can sense the line of sight and pupil focal length to determine the user's operating purpose.

This stuff is still very advanced in 2023.

Lin Xian had only briefly learned about the product and watched the product's PPT and press conference, so he wasn't sure if the actual experience was as good as what was demonstrated in the PPT...

But in reality, it is rare to see anyone wearing this kind of thing, almost none.

From this point of view, the technology is not yet mature.

But the thing CC is holding... looks very advanced and technological.

Its size is about the same as that of ordinary ear-hook Bluetooth headphones, with a semi-circular shape, which can be just hooked on the ear.

Lin Xian had no idea how this thing could emit the "light curtain in front of his eyes", but since CC said so, it must be true.

It seems that the technology in the New Donghai City in the second dream is still very advanced.

Although it did not meet Lin Xian’s expectations, compared to 2023, some incomprehensible high-tech products have appeared.

"How did you get this?"

"I stole it from other garbage disposal plants a long time ago." CC replied calmly:

"This thing looks very advanced to us, but to the people in New Donghai City, it's very backward. They just use it as a general work communication device to send and receive notifications."

"Doesn't this thing recognize identities? Can we just steal it and use it?" Lin Xian asked.

"There was a password, but I cracked it." CC answered easily.

Okay. Lin Xian nodded.

CC's attributes as a cryptographer are still there, but I don't know whether the skill of cracking codes was learned in the second dream or directly inherited from those memory fragments.

"I understand."

Lin Xian looked at the little gadget in CC's hand:

"This thing is a communication device for the workers at the garbage disposal plant. Through this device, you can check the location, route, and even specific tasks of each garbage truck, right?"

"So you knew that a bunch of hafnium alloy safes would be delivered to this garbage dump tonight, and then you tried to sneak in here."

"It's not as exaggerated as you think."

CC pinch the "Bluetooth Headset" with two fingers and rotate it:
"After I cracked the password, many functions were actually unusable. But I could indeed see the mission routes of each garbage truck, the time it left and came from the factory, and some other information related to garbage disposal."

"In the memory fragment, the long-haired and bearded man told me that the safe he left for me was stored in the [Tyme Bank]. He was supposed to tell me the password, but in the end he didn't say it for some reason... I don't know if it's because of my incomplete memory."

"There is no such bank in the old Donghai, so it must be in the new Donghai City, but I can't get into the new Donghai. I have been waiting for an opportunity here for a long time. I have thought of many ways. Every day I look through newspapers and materials in the garbage disposal plant to see if I can find some useful information."

"Later, I saw a bankruptcy notice published by [Tyme Bank] and a safe deposit claim form in a newspaper. It stated a deadline: if the safe deposit box is not claimed by August 8, it will be treated as garbage."

"This might be my only chance, so I found a way to steal the ear-hook device of a garbage plant supervisor. This is it. After cracking the password, I can see the working information of all garbage treatment plants in Xindonghai City, as well as the recycling routes and entry times of garbage trucks."

"The garbage transportation in the area where the Tam Bank is located is now handled by this garbage disposal plant. And the garbage trucks responsible for recycling the Tam Bank enter the plant at 00:25 or 00:57. Only these two fleets pass through the Tam Bank."

"So, if Lin Xian's safe is not in the garbage truck that arrived at 00:25, it must be in the garbage truck that arrived at 00:57."

CC was completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation and stared at the steel gate not far away:

"We just need to continue hiding here and wait for the garbage trucks to arrive at the factory at 00:57. Lin Xian's safe must be on that garbage truck."

……

CC looks confident and relaxed.

Lin Xian didn't say anything.

The next batch of garbage trucks will arrive at the garbage plant at 00:57...which is no different from coming 2 years later.

Because they couldn’t come either.

This dream and future world will be destroyed by white light at 00:42 in a few minutes, and then this day will be repeated endlessly, and everything will start over again.

There is no tomorrow here...

Never.

The minute 00:57 that CC was looking forward to would never come.

"Um...that..."

Lin Xian hesitated to speak:

"Forget it, let's talk about something else."

He looked at CC:

"Since you've been in this area for a long time, can you provide me with some clues to sneak into New Donghai City? Any clues will do, as long as they can help me enter New Donghai City... It doesn't matter even if it's dangerous, just tell me."

"You want to enter New Donghai City?"

"That's right." Lin Xian nodded:

"I want to go to New Donghai City to find two books and some information. I don't think I can find these things in the garbage factory. They can only be found in New Donghai City, so I have to go there."

"Looking for two books?"

CC blinked and looked at Lin Xian in disbelief:

"Just for two books, you sneaked into New Donghai City... Are you trying to save your life?"

"Same here, your behavior seems to me to be similar. Besides, what's the difference between New Donghai City and here? Why are you all so afraid to go in?"

Lin Xian changed his posture and leaned against the stacked safes:

"Is the security in New Donghai City very tight? Or are there identification devices everywhere that can immediately identify outsiders and eliminate them?"

"do not know."

CC shook his head, sat on a hafnium alloy safe, and looked up at Lin Xian:

"No one has ever successfully sneaked into this new type of city. Or maybe someone... just went in and couldn't get out, and died inside. No one knows these things, at least I don't know, and I've never heard of them."

"It may be as you said, the security inside is tight. But it may be unexpected that the new Donghai City is just a facade. But... who dares to bet?"

CC chuckled and turned to look at the steel wall that seemed to have no top. It was like a vertical abyss.
"Everyone has only one life, and no one dares to gamble."

"I think you are quite willing to gamble." Lin Xian complained.

"That's because I have a reason that's more important than life, so I have to gamble."

CC turned back and looked at Lin Xian:

"But it's obviously not worth it just to find two books."

"Not necessarily."

Lin Xian smiled and looked up at the vast and boundless steel wall:
"My life is worthless, but I can afford the gamble."

"How about two books?"

"It's better than a piece of paper."

puff-

CC was amused, and laughed, with the eyes behind the mask curved into shallow crescents:

"You're such a joker."

"But...to be honest, it's a bit of a pity. If you had met me earlier today, you wouldn't have to think about sneaking into New Donghai City to find those two books."

?

"What did you say?"

Lin Xian left the safe he was leaning against and stood up straight:
"[What would have happened if I had met you earlier?]"

CC took out the small "Bluetooth headset", weighed it in his hand, and smiled:

"If it had been earlier, I could have told you... A large number of soaked books will be shipped to Garbage Treatment Plant No. 314 tonight. Can't you just look for the books there?"

"Unfortunately... it's definitely too late now."

"It has already been burned to ashes."
