Chapter 847: Small Shop in the City
It seems that life in Mengdu is quite comfortable, and the presence of the Vigilantes also gives residents a great sense of security.
Staring at the electronic signboard of "Self-service Shopping", Li Luo's pupils flickered.
"It seems that I haven't seen such a sign since I left Dawn City..."
The Abyss is too dangerous, and Li Luo actually felt the long-lost comfort in this small shop.
The scene of life in Dawn City overlapped with everything in front of her in a trance, and her past life flashed by. It was not until she caught a glimpse of the block squeezed into the shop that Li Luo came back to her senses.
"I was distracted..."
Li Luo did not expect that this small shop she found by chance could actually arouse her memories.
"Unknowingly, have I reached the fifth floor of the Abyss?"
She shook her head and walked towards the unmanned shop.
She took a few cans from the shelf and looked at the packaging carefully. There was a mark of Mengdu on it.
"Is it produced in Mengdu?"
Li Luo was a little curious about how Mengdu produced these materials.
The supplies here are not only sufficient, but also very complete. Li Luo even saw things like hand sanitizer on the shelves, which were also labeled as Mengdu.
In the abyss, it is already difficult to ensure normal physiological needs. These cleaning products are not necessary, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to transport and manage them. No one will make these things.
But in the small shops in Mengdu, they are just placed on the shelves like this. No wonder she feels familiar.
"There is no difference from the supermarket in Dawn City."
Although some rare categories are still missing, it is already very complete.
For a city in the abyss, it is even a bit too "luxurious".
"Mengdu has developed to this extent."
It was not until now that Li Luo realized the prosperity of Mengdu.
Thinking of the human strongholds in the abyss that he had passed by before, Li Luo couldn't help but raise a question in his heart:
"Is it really better to manage the city by data than by humans?"
At the same time, Li Luo also thought of the posts he saw in the Zhuang Zhou forum, and suddenly felt that it was understandable.
After all, only when materials are abundant can thoughts flourish. Although the direction of the flourishing thoughts in Zhuang Zhou Forum is a bit problematic, it also reflects from the side that the supply of materials in Mengdu is "excessive".
Only when "people are full and bored" can there be so many bored netizens.
Such a colorful network environment must have a good material foundation. If people can't even eat enough and can't even guarantee safety, they will definitely not have the mind to surf the Internet recklessly.
Except for the strange architectural style and the isolation bubble on the periphery, this city is almost the same as the human city above the abyss, and some places are even better than the cities on the surface.
At least, the residents here are happy...
While sighing, Li Luo looked for the materials he lacked.
After wandering around the store for a while, after taking the materials he needed, Li Luo connected to Mengwang and planned to pay.
What she didn't expect was that Mengwang actually directly connected to several accounts she often used, and she could also pay directly with these accounts.
Li Luo looked at the ceiling and couldn't help but be a little confused. How did Mengwang connect to the surface network?
How did they manage to ensure signal connection and sufficient supplies even though they were so far from Dawn City?
Perhaps, it was achieved with the help of some kind of relic or confidential technology.
Thinking about it, Li Luo completed the payment, stuffed the purchased supplies into her bag, and walked out.
She didn't need much. When she was in Hongguang City, Lan Xin's supplies had already filled her backpack to the brim. This time, she just needed to replenish them a little.
After leaving the store, Li Luo opened the Dream Network map again and searched for the location of the Dream City Research Institute.
At this time, in the cube, Mo Ling also had the same feeling as Li Luo.
Looking at the goods on the shelves, he remembered his ordinary life before being trapped in the cube.
Those street vendors are very similar to this shop.
However, the shops in Dream City are still different from those in his memory.
"I always feel something is strange, but I can't tell why."
Ever since he entered this shop, he felt something was wrong, but after observing for a long time, he didn't know what went wrong.
"Is it the placement of the goods? Is it the layout of the store? Or is it a problem with the decoration? It seems that none of them are right..."
Mo Ling vaguely felt that there was some subtle difference between this place and a normal store. There was a big gap in some details, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
It was not until he followed Li Luo out of the store that he suddenly realized where the problem was.
He quickly looked into the store again, found the shelf where the hand sanitizer was placed, and carefully observed the liquid level of each bottle of hand sanitizer.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"They are all the same!"
But this didn't mean anything, so he quickly searched in the store again.
Soon, he found the shelf selling food.
"That's it...Sesame biscuits, this should be able to be compared."
He stopped the cube in place, looked into the biscuit packaging, and began to carefully count the number of sesame seeds on the sesame biscuits.
"Thirty-three!"
"Thirty-three!"
"There are thirty-three sesame seeds on each sesame biscuit!"
Not only that, the arrangement of these sesame seeds is the same.
"These biscuits are exactly the same!"
Mo Ling came to a terrible conclusion.
If the consistent liquid level of those hand sanitizers can be explained by excellent product control, then there is no way to explain these biscuits, right?
He finally knew where his weird feeling came from.
When his vision passed through those products, he saw the same products as if they were copied and pasted, so he subconsciously felt that this small shop was wrong!
In normal shops, even if they are the same kind of products, there will be various differences between each other, but this small shop is different.
The products on the shelves of the small shop, as long as they are the same, look exactly the same:
The number of sesame seeds on the biscuits is the same, and the arrangement is the same.
The number of chips in the potato chip package is the same, and the degree of curvature is the same.
The liquid level of various liquids, including beverages, toiletries, fuel...is the same, without any difference.
Various vacuum-packed meat products, chicken legs, beef jerky, squid shreds...the shapes of the food inside are exactly the same.
…
This can no longer be completely explained by "quality control".
There are many such cases in this small shop. Mo Ling does not have time to identify them one by one, and some categories of goods cannot be identified, but this is enough for him to make a judgment:
"These goods are indeed "copied" in some way."
