Chapter 97: Safe (Additional chapter for leader Sunrise Blaze!)
hum hum...

The surveillance drone in the distance is approaching along its patrol route.

All in all, the blank time of the monitoring blind spot will soon be over.

Before climbing over the wall, Lin Xian had already noticed through the change in scent that the girl wearing the Ultraman mask was not Li Ningning.

He thought back.

While running through the woods, Li Ningning fell behind for a while, but then quickly caught up.

In fact, given Li Ningning's agile skills, how could she fall behind?
Or if his shoelaces really came undone or there was something that needed to be resolved, he would tell Big Face Cat and the others in advance. He would never fall behind without saying a word.

She doesn't seem to be that disorganized and undisciplined.

So……

There is only one possibility!
[Li Ningning was ambushed in the woods, and the woman who ambushed her put on Li Ningning's mask and disguised herself as her! ]

This familiar routine is exactly the same as when he disguised himself as a big-faced cat.

But the woman who ambushed Li Ningning was obviously well prepared.

She and Li Ningning have similar figures, slim and slender, and about the same height. Plus, they both wear black tights and have their hair tied up... It's really not difficult for them to disguise themselves.

What's more, his face is covered by the Ultraman mask, and in such a dim environment, it cannot be seen without careful observation.

And the man who ambushed her was very careful.

She didn't say anything, nor did she run to the front of the line. She just stayed at the back.

At that time, Big Face Cat and the others were paying attention to their watches and the route of the drone, and did not notice that Li Ningning had been replaced without them noticing.

Judging from this series of "coming prepared"...

The purpose of this woman pretending to be Li Ningning is very simple -

[It is to use Big Face Cat and his friends as a human wall and take the opportunity to climb into this garbage disposal plant. ]

Lin Xian has witnessed this familiar plot and familiar routine too many times in his "First Dream".

Considering the familiar figure and skills, it is very likely that the woman who ambushed and impersonated Li Ningning...

It’s most likely CC!

therefore.

Under the urging of Big Face Cat, Lin Xian did not hesitate any longer.

He sprinted straight up and climbed in.

This answer still needs to be verified.

The worst possible outcome is death.

In this endlessly repetitive dream, the least valuable thing is life.

……

but.

The moment he jumped off the wall, the woman behind him immediately put a gun to the back of his head.

Apparently, the other party had heard his questioning voice when he was climbing over the wall, and realized that his identity had been exposed.

Even if she is CC.

In my opinion, CC is indeed a very familiar acquaintance, a person with whom I have collaborated countless times, and even a "friend" with whom I once chatted while leaning against a safe.

But this is not the case for CC.

To her, Lin Xian was just a complete stranger and also Li Ningning's accomplice. Now that Lin Xian discovered that her identity was exposed, she was in a very dangerous situation.

perhaps……

Shooting could happen at any time.

"Don't be nervous." Lin Xian said friendly:
"I--"

Swish!
Before he could finish his words, the person behind him dropped his gun and jumped away like a rabbit. When Lin Xian turned around... he was nowhere to be seen, and no one knew where he had gone.

Buzz buzz! !
The sound of the drone propellers overhead was getting louder and louder, approaching rapidly.

Big Face Cat said that all the robots and equipment vehicles in this garbage disposal plant are blind and can only work according to procedures.

But drones have monitoring and alarm functions. Their patrol range is about 20 meters inside and outside the wall, so you must not be discovered by them.

The person behind him was obviously also familiar with patrol drones.

Lin Xian also hurriedly ran into the garbage disposal plant, jumped and rolled a few times, hid under an upside-down sofa, and successfully avoided the detection of the patrol drone.

He looked at his watch.

00:05
There are still 12 minutes left before the evacuation time agreed with Big Face Cat.

Of course, he cared a lot about whether the "switched woman" was CC, but right now... he had many more important things to worry about.

Introduction to the Cosmological Constant

《Historical Data of MX Corporation》

《Information about the President of MX Company in the Newspaper》

Although trying to find this information in the garbage disposal plant is like looking for a needle in a haystack, there is no possibility of sneaking into Xindonghai City in a short period of time, so we still have to give it a try.

Lin Xian looked at the location of the drone and ran forward a few steps.

Successfully escaped from the surveillance area 20 meters away from the high wall.

He turned his head and looked at the monitoring room in the middle of the garbage treatment plant...

There was no one inside. The uniformed supervisor had probably gone to take over. The new supervisor would arrive at 00:20, so we had to cherish this short time.

Even if he didn't want to live and didn't consider climbing over the wall, he would only have 20 minutes to rummage through the garbage dump.

Although the supervisor may not have weapons on him, Big Face Cat said that the weapons on the drone are enough to kill people, not to mention that there are special security robots on standby at all times.

"Set off."

Now that we are out of the surveillance blind spot and the supervisor is not around, we can act freely and without worries.

Several robots and vehicles passed by Lin Xian, busy with their work.

Sure enough, they are all blind.

The garbage plant is very large, but it processes garbage very quickly, so the amount of accumulated garbage is not that large. Lin Xian immediately climbed onto the garbage and began to rummage through it.

There are all kinds of garbage...

It's smelly, sticky and disgusting.

But I can’t care about that now.

Looking around, all I saw was garbage, food, construction waste and other useless items.

I didn't see any newspapers or books.

"Hey……"

Lin Xian sighed.

Perhaps as I guessed, people in Xindonghai City no longer read books or buy newspapers. They must have a more advanced way of reading.

He went to look in another garbage dump.

While searching, he also looked in the direction where the woman in black disappeared, but he didn't see any signs of activity. It seems...

Her target is not trash.

She entered this garbage dump for another purpose!
What could it be?

Lin Xian felt that after entering the new dream this time, he was in a state of "information explosion" and he had to sort it out later.

"Found a book."

Lin Xian was very much looking forward to it. Although the surroundings were dirty and smelly, the thrill of digging for treasure was so simple and unpretentious.

Open it up...

It's a recipe.

Keep turning.

Lin Xian didn't consider looking for other valuable things, including the electronic products that Big Face Cat asked him to find. He did see them, but didn't care.

This world will be destroyed at 00:42 anyway, so there is no point in throwing it away to Big Face Cat and the others.

Whoosh————whoosh————

Suddenly, there was a hurried bird call outside the wall. Lin Xian could hear it clearly. It was the sound of the whistle that Big Face Cat had given him before.

But... isn't the time coming yet?
Lin Xian looked down at his watch. It was only 00:13.

There are still 4 minutes left until the agreed escape time.

Recalling what Big Face Cat said:
"Remember, whenever you hear this sound, retreat immediately, climb over the wall, don't worry about anything else, just run, run to this hilltop and gather. Don't hesitate!"

It seems...

There is an emergency outside.

Maybe there is danger.

Maybe... it was the real Li Ningning who ran over. Big Face Cat and the others discovered that Li Ningning was impersonated and reminded Lin Xian that he was in danger and to retreat as soon as possible!

Lin Xian picked up the whistle and blew a long note.

The representative received it and asked them to withdraw first.

He did not plan to retreat now. The white light that would destroy the world was about to arrive, so he might as well search here for a while longer.

I searched through several more garbage dumps, but still found nothing.

really.

It is too unrealistic to try your luck and find the information you want in a garbage dump.

It seems...

Only by breaking into the New East Sea City can you find the information you want in bookstores or other novel equipment, find the history of MX Company and the name of the current president, and find the book "Introduction to Cosmological Constants" by Big Face Cat's father.

the other side.

A uniformed supervisor came over yawning, sat down in the monitoring room, and began to stare straight ahead with an expressionless face, occasionally laughing.

Lin Xian noticed that he was wearing something similar to a Bluetooth headset on his ear... and his eyes were wandering, as if he was looking at the air about a few dozen centimeters away from him.

It should be some high-tech gadget, a holographic projection or something? Anyway, this guy is definitely not concentrating on his work.

boom----

On the other side of the steel wall, a huge steel gate rose up, with a deafening rumble. One by one, vehicles loaded with garbage drove out of the gate and dumped the garbage in different areas.

boom----

The steel door fell down with a loud bang.

Lin Xian looked over there.

Those garbage trucks load the garbage in Xindonghai City from the city’s garbage transfer stations and transport it to the garbage treatment plants outside the city for processing.

Lin Xian watched the garbage trucks unloading. The various types of garbage dumped out were no different from the garbage dump in front of him, with everything in it.

even--

"what?"

Lin Xian saw a bunch of extremely familiar things.

It is square, shiny, thick and solid, just like it was just made...

[It’s the safes with names written on them in the bank warehouse in the first dream! ]

“Why is it on a garbage truck?”

Lin Xian was very surprised.

He was so familiar with these safes.

In the first dream, he tried to crack the code countless times, but never succeeded; and later when he was about to use brute force to cut it, he shot himself in the foot due to the uncontrollable changes in time and space, and the material of these steel safes was changed into a super aviation material with invincible hardness - a new type of hafnium alloy.

He scurried carefully, changed cover, and continued to watch.

Different from other garbage trucks...In the garbage truck that was dumping a large pile of hafnium alloy safes, there was very little other domestic garbage, and basically all that was dumped were hafnium alloy safes.

Keep getting closer...

Lin Xian saw more clearly.

My previous guess was correct!
Those hafnium alloy safes have eight combination wheels!

"I have been searching for a long time but I still can't find it..."

Lin Xian seized the opportunity, bent down and ran quickly, running behind the shelter closer to the garbage truck.

He was very curious, would his name be on the safe this time?

If I still have my own name...

That might be enough to show that the things inside must be extraordinary! Even with such a huge change in time and space in the future world, this safe has not disappeared.

Keep going.

He was like a mouse with a motor, using parkour techniques, not afraid of getting dirty or smelly, and he could hide himself by various tricks of diving and jumping.

at last!

Came to the bunker closest to the garbage truck and the pile of unloaded safes -

Click.

A small pistol stretched out from behind the bunker and pressed against Lin Xian's forehead!

The familiar scent of camellia, the familiar Ultraman mask, the familiar dark brown bun, the familiar graceful figure under the black tights, and... the familiar voice:

"do not move."

A sweet voice like that of a bird came from behind the mask.

A delicate and smooth little hand lifted the Rhine Cat mask on Lin Xian's chin and opened it directly...

"Ah."

The woman behind the Ultraman mask chuckled:
"It's really you!"
