Doomsday Wonderland

In the dream, everything seemed to have become elusive; Lin Sanjiu ran forward one foot at a time, her body was erratic, and in the blink of an eye, she had already passed the corner - not even herself. I know how I suddenly ran across the road behind me.

She was lucky. There were several people walking to the town hall on this road. She followed those people for a while, and the door of the town hall, illuminated by a few beams of light, appeared without warning. End of street. At this time, there was a river of cars and people between her and the white building.

People got out of their cars and hurried towards the town hall; looking from a distance, they saw that the steps leading to the hall were already packed to the brim. People who couldn't squeeze in blocked the door one after another and blocked the street. A chaotic crowd that couldn't be called a procession occupied half of the street.

There are still cars joining in continuously, with piercing horns, sudden braking sounds, shouts... Peanuts Town seems to have suddenly been wiped out of all order, chaotic and crowded; in the distance, several people dressed as town police are To maintain order, shout at the top of your lungs to ask people to line up one by one.

Lin Sanjiu relied on her sporadic strength to squeeze her way into the crowd. As people pushed forward, they raised their wrists to look at their watches from time to time. As the crowd slowly moved forward for a while, she finally heard the town policeman's shout clearly: "Everyone, don't make a mess! Come one by one!"

When she squeezed in next to a girl who looked like a high school student, the high school student looked back at her and smiled kindly.

"Why are you all stuck here?"

The girl seemed a little surprised. "Today is the first day. Didn't you listen to the radio?" She asked back and looked at Lin Sanjiu briefly: "I've never seen you. You're not..."

"I'm not from this town. I just got here today." Lin Sanjiu admitted, "What's the first day?"

"Oh, the day Mayor Ouye's first law came into effect." The high school girl shrugged, "He just took office and is a very good person."

"What decree?"

The high school girl was much friendlier than the people she met during the day, and answered patiently: "Everyone in the town must bring their legal documents, home address and other supporting documents, and come to the town hall after nine o'clock tonight to re- Conduct a town citizen registration. The registration time is only two hours. Anyone who has not registered after 11 o'clock will no longer be a legal citizen of Peanut Town and will not be eligible to enjoy our benefits."

This is a really strange law.

"The town hall already has these citizen information, so why bother to register again?" Lin Sanjiu asked with a frown, "Besides, what if someone fails to catch up due to an accident? Isn’t it unfair?”

"After Mr. Oye took office, the previous registration documents will no longer count. What if there are errors in those documents? The situation outside is so tense now. Although it is a bit troublesome, he is also responsible for us." The girl also frowned. The lower lip slightly protruded forward: "There is nothing unfair. The rules are clearly told to you. If you can't do it yourself, you can't blame others, right?"

Even after she explained, Lin Sanjiu still didn't understand why she had to pull everyone from home to register on a cold night. But she didn't want to argue with the high school girl, so she just nodded silently; the girl also stopped talking and said no more.

It was very hot in the crowd, and the night wind was bitingly cold. Having just been pushed to the point of sweating, and then the cold wind blowing several degrees below zero, everyone started to get nervous.

When the group of them rushed to the door of the town hall, the bell tower struck ten o'clock exactly. When Lin Sanjiu looked back, there were still a lot of heads behind her. The long and loud bells pierced the night far away, and the crowd suddenly became restless - the whispers suddenly became louder, and there was a faint commotion.

"Don't be chaotic!" shouted a town policeman with a long gun on his waist. "Maintain order and save time! Don't worry, as long as registration is carried out normally, two hours is enough for everyone in our town!"

Along with his drinking, Lin Sanjiu finally arrived at the small square at the entrance. A row of registration points was set up in front of them, there were twenty or thirty registration points, and a thick stack of documents was piled on each table, rustling in the cold wind. Of course she didn't want to register, and she didn't have any identification information; she just wanted to follow and see what was going on.

Unexpectedly, she had just taken a step forward when someone behind her suddenly shouted loudly: "Ah, that woman is not from our town, she cannot register!"

Lin Sanjiu suddenly twisted around and saw the high school girl hurriedly walking towards a registration point; while she took off her backpack from her shoulders, she said to the official in charge of registration: "She just told me that she just arrived today. From the town.”

"It doesn't matter." The female civil servant looked at Lin Sanjiu for a few times, then turned to smile at the girl: "Peanut Town is safe and rich, and we are also willing to accept immigrants."

"Isn't welfare also——"

As soon as the high school girl got started, another male official in charge of registration greeted Lin Sanjiu in a friendly manner: "You want to register? Come here!"

She obviously didn't want to register, but she had to register after being yelled at by the girl - Lin Sanjiu didn't attract much attention; so when she got out of the registration point in a state of laughter and laughter, she had already become Peanut Town. Last new townie.

"We will not tolerate homeless people in Peanut Town," the male official said to her before dealing with the next person: "It doesn't matter if you don't have a house, Mr. Oye will help everyone. Just wait aside."

Lin Sanjiu has no talent and the registration process is very fast; but for an original resident, the registration process is very cumbersome: in addition to identity certificate, occupation, place of residence and kinship registration, a series of property and bank account numbers need to be submitted. , real estate certificate and other procedures.

It is said that "this is necessary information in order to be able to issue benefits".

What makes Lin Sanjiu feel strange is that she has already arrived at the square, but she has never been connected to the dream script of another evolver - logically speaking, that prompt is unmistakable.

When the eleven o'clock bell rang, registration finally came to an end. All the townspeople left quickly, leaving no trace behind except some trash. In the end, a total of 794 people, including Lin Sanjiu, were registered.

Originally, there were 7 people in this town who had not completed registration; but the small square was already empty, and I don't know where those six people went. Lin Sanjiu took a house address assigned to her and when she was looking for it all the way back, she found that her car was missing. There were only some traces of gasoline spilled on the spot, as if someone had refueled it and driven it away. She groped for half an hour in the dark and cold night, and finally found the house.

The house is at the end of Peanut Town, almost at the foot of the mountain. Orange light shone through the windows, the door was ajar, and there was a name written on the mailbox, "Pang Bell."

When she pushed the door open and walked in, she found some photos hanging on the wall, most of which were of a young woman and her relatives and friends. There was a half-drunk cup of coffee on the kitchen table, which was already cold to the touch. The TV was on and showed "no signal"; she picked up the remote control and found that she could only receive one station, which was broadcasting a report about a serious robbery and shooting outside.

Pang Beier was obviously the owner here, but Lin Sanjiu waited for a long time and she never came back.

Lin Sanjiu felt like a thief breaking into a house. Sitting on the sofa, she felt like she had nowhere to put her hands and feet. The night was getting deeper and colder. She sat there for a while, wondering what direction this dream script would lead to, but she was so cold that even though her consciousness was clear, she still couldn't control it in the dream. own physical fitness.

She felt that her bones were shrinking from the cold, so she stood up shakily and went up to the second floor.

As soon as she entered the master bedroom, she immediately groped on the wall and turned on the light switch and heating switch at the same time. UUReadingwww.uukanshu.netThe light suddenly filled the room, dyeing everything clearly; a nightgown was thrown randomly on the bed, and facing the door was a row of windows, and outside the window was the dark hills outside the town. shadow--

"Tip," a soft female voice suddenly sounded, "You are now connected to another evolver's dream script, please pay attention."

Lin Sanjiu stared out the window, almost unable to believe her eyes.

That pitch-black mountain became an undulating shadow in the dark night; at this moment, I seemed to feel the light that suddenly came on here, and it moved slowly, undulatingly, little by little - a rumbling tremor in the earth In the middle, the chandelier was shaken, and the broken light flickered erratically, making the unreal behemoth outside the window almost look like a nightmare.

By the way, it could very well be someone's nightmare.

When this thought appeared in Lin Sanjiu's mind, the mountain had completely blocked the scene outside the window; in the dimness, faint grass and rocks were rolling down from the mountain in clusters, causing countless muffled sounds.

Next, the mountain bent down and looked through the window.
