Chapter 323 A Time of Fish in Water

This thought appeared in Chen Ling's mind and could not be shaken off. He finally realized what this USB flash drive in his hand represented...

This meant that he had the qualifications to investigate the origin of the "Great Cataclysm".

"A Ling! A Ling!!!"

Just as Chen Ling was thinking, an excited voice suddenly sounded from a distance. A woman rushed downstairs, shouting with tears on her face.

"Mom saw you... Mom saw you just now!!"

"Those workers who moved the wreaths also said they saw you downstairs! Mom knows you've been back!"

"Whether you're a soul or a ghost... Can you come back and talk to me? Do you know how your father and I have been through this day..."

"I'm sorry for you... I pushed you too hard, I shouldn't have been so anxious to let you go out into the world to gain experience... Your death is my fault, I know I was wrong..."

"Come back and let us take a look... Just one look would be good..."

The woman cried heartbreakingly, her red eyes had dried up, she sat down on the ground powerlessly, patting the ground with her hands again and again, as if venting her regret and pain.

The access control on the first floor was opened, and a group of relatives followed out and helped her up from the ground.

"Oh, Caiyun...what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Yeah...the child died in an accident, how can it be your fault...ok,ok, get up quickly, stop crying."

"Just now, maybe the child came back to see you and put his mind at ease. Now he's gone...no matter how much you cry, he can't come back..."

"Caiyun...let's let Ah Ling rest in peace, okay?"

Chen Ling watched this scene from a distance in the corner, his eyes were extremely complicated...He put one hand gently on his chest, like a silent sculpture.

Even though he had no heart, even though the twisted Shinto suppressed his emotions, he could still feel the sadness and reluctance that surged from the depths of his soul, stimulating him like a needle.

His empty chest was aching.

"…As of 5:45 p.m., the military has sealed off the area around Shennongjia. A research team led by an astrophysicist is expected to arrive within five hours…"

"…Our reporters will continue to report for you."

The sound of the news echoed behind Chen Ling. He knew that he didn't have much time. After a moment of silence, he gently tore his chin with his fingertips and walked straight to the door of the unit.

Perhaps because Caiyun's voice was too loud just now, the movement has attracted several people to watch. They looked at the woman sitting down at the door of the unit and the many wreaths behind her, and pity appeared in their eyes…But more people just looked at her from a distance and hurriedly avoided her, as if they were afraid that the bad luck of the dead would touch them.

The relatives supported Caiyun and moved from the ground with difficulty. Before she could stand firmly, she stumbled and fell forward.

As everyone exclaimed, a pair of hands held her body steadily.

Caiyun was startled for a moment, then looked up. It was a young man wearing a brown coat and half-frame glasses, with the silver glasses chain shining in the sun.

He looked at her and asked with concern:

"How are you? Are you okay?"

"... I'm fine." Caiyun stood up with pale lips, and a smile squeezed out of the corner of her mouth, "Thank you... young man."

"You're welcome." The young man smiled slightly, and he glanced at the wreath at the door of the unit, "Don't be too sad, since he came back to see you, it means he is thinking about you... It's a good thing to be able to leave peacefully, isn't it?"

Caiyun stared at him in a daze. For some reason, she felt that the young man in front of her had an inexplicable sense of affinity.

"Young man... you are not from here, right?"

"No, I came back from far away." The young man paused,

"Maybe one day, your son will come back from far away... Then, everything will start all over again."

A trace of doubt flashed across Caiyun's face. Before she could ask anything else, the young man let go of her hand, smiled, turned around and left... The brown coat left the gate of the community alone and walked straight ahead...

He disappeared in the hustle and bustle of traffic.

Chen Ling finally did not recognize her, not only because of the lack of time, but more importantly, he knew clearly that everything here was just archived.

At this moment, he was no longer the naive urban youth who had just crossed into the Aurora Realm. His reason told him that everything was meaningless before the "restart" was truly completed... He was willing to bet everything just to go home in the real world.

After leaving the community, Chen Ling walked straight to the nearest subway station.

To go from this city to Shennongjia, you need to take a plane to transfer to the high-speed rail. Chen Ling is not sure about the specific time, but five or six hours should be quite tight, and he must set off immediately.

After walking to the entrance and passing the security check, Chen Ling suddenly stopped in front of the entrance gate... He realized a serious problem.

Perhaps because he had been in the Aurora Realm for too long, Chen Ling had forgotten that he had to pay for the subway. Now he was not only penniless, but he didn't even have a cell phone. Not to mention taking a plane or a high-speed train, he couldn't even get into the subway station!

Go buy one now? But he had no money... Steal it directly from passers-by? Although he knew that this was an archive of the times, if there was another choice, Chen Ling really didn't want to do this.

After a brief thought, Chen Ling set his eyes on the ticket gate.

As pedestrians took their mobile phone QR codes or subway tickets and swiped them on the sensor belt of the gate, they passed through the gate smoothly. Chen Ling's mind suddenly emerged with some theoretical knowledge about electromagnetic induction, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

He walked straight to a gate in the corner and tentatively tapped the sensor belt with his hand.

Snap!

The next moment, the entire subway station was plunged into darkness.

Not only the subway station, but also several residential buildings in the surrounding communities suddenly lost power. Chen Ling heard the exclamations from all over the subway station and knew that something bad was going to happen.

It was the first time he used this skill. In the case of insufficient control, it seemed that he used too much force... In the dark, Chen Ling tapped the gate again.

"Please pass."

A loud voice sounded from the gate, and a conspicuous green arrow jumped out from the screen next to Chen Ling's hand. In the dark subway station, the only screen light was extremely conspicuous, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

At this moment, both pedestrians and staff who were rushing to repair the circuit were dumbfounded... The entire subway station was out of power, how could this gate still be used? ?

Chen Ling's mouth twitched slightly, and he immediately walked through the open gate and entered the subway station with power outage. Four or five seconds after he left, the circuit automatically recovered, and the entire subway station returned to light again... and at this moment, Chen Ling had disappeared from everyone's sight.

Chen Ling, who had changed his face, stood in front of the subway glass door with his hands in his pockets, looking at the ubiquitous electronic screens and communication equipment around him, with a glimmer in his eyes.

The next moment, all the screen surfaces began to flicker alternately between light and dark, and he stood in the reflection of the crazy flickering screen, like a ghost.

Chen Ling's mouth corners slightly raised.

He knew that in this era, Aurora Jun's skills... he was right.
