Void Jigsaw Puzzle

Curious, Guo Ling found a middle-aged woman at the edge of the crowd and asked, "Miss, what are they protesting about?"

The woman was watching the excitement with great interest. When Guo Ling interrupted her, she was about to complain. But when she saw Guo Ling's face, her attitude immediately changed. Her whole face broke into a smile, and her voice became extremely gentle: "Oh... Can't you take a closer look at the signs? They're protesting being used as experimental subjects."

As he spoke, he kept looking Guo Ling up and down, as if he was ready to pounce on him at any time.

Guo Ling got goosebumps and took a half step back, but he still asked patiently, "I saw it, but I didn't quite understand it. What are the hydrogen and helium tribes? What kind of experimental products are they?"

He remembered that the embodied experiments with stimulants and sedatives were something the Hydrogen and Helium tribes had hoped to keep secret. Otherwise, Hou Chang wouldn't have been hiding in that tree hole to evade capture. But how did it become so widely publicized here? What had happened in just a few days? If this matter had been declassified, did it mean Hou Chang could no longer hide and return to the open air?

Damn, why is he concerned about Hou Chang again...Shouldn't this be Xie Cun's business?

The woman had already focused all her attention on Guo Ling, her eyes almost wanting to devour him. To leave a good impression on Guo Ling, she tried to keep her tone less agitated. "Handsome man, you're definitely not from Houkun City, are you? This has been a big event for the past two days. The Hydrogen Clan and the Helium Clan are two races in the universe, just like us Carbon Clan, except that we have physical forms, while they only have digital forms. However, they have two unique products, stimulants and sedatives, which have always been very popular among the digital races in the universe. Now they want to promote these two products to the wider universe, especially to races like us who have physical forms..."

At this point, the woman made no secret of her infatuation: "The physical form is so wonderful. The collision of flesh is the most ultimate experience in the universe. Don't you agree, handsome?"

Guo Ling gasped and took another half step back. "Uh... So, before they roll it out here, they want to do some experiments to see how effective these two things are on the flesh-formed race?"

"You're so smart..." The woman reached out and touched Guo Ling's left chest unexpectedly: "Your muscles are quite strong..."

Guo Ling finally couldn't hold on any longer and had to flee.

The people in this place are really too fierce.

After running for a while, Guo Ling looked back to make sure he was out of the woman's sight. He then found another young man on the side of the road and found out the remaining half of the truth.

Indeed, for reasons unknown, the Hydrogen and Helium Tribes suddenly announced their intention to conduct trials on the promotion of stimulants and sedatives to embodied groups, to verify that both drugs were equally effective for them and had no side effects. Therefore, they proposed collaborating with the Carbon Tribe and recruiting a large number of volunteers to participate in the trial.

The leader of the Tan tribe, Tan Guan, agreed to their agreement without hesitation and immediately began to assign tasks to others. So the people of the Tan tribe were not happy: Why should we be guinea pigs?

Protest marches ensued.

Although he found out the truth, Guo Ling still couldn't figure out the reason for this 180-degree turn.

He walked away from the crowd, lowering his head and thinking.

Suddenly, an urgent voice came from the front: "Make way..."

Before he could even look up, he felt a sharp collision with his body. He stumbled back several times, and although he didn't fall, he was still hurt.

The fire in his belly rose up, and he clenched his fists and was about to see who had hit him, but he saw that figure had already rushed away from his side.

But the man still turned around and said "sorry" to him!

Then he accelerated and rushed out.

At this moment, Guo Ling realized that this was a young man with a handsome appearance. It seemed that like him, he was not from Houkun City.

Hesitating, he did not chase after him, but just stared at his receding back in a daze.

At this moment, chaotic footsteps came from behind him, and several hideous-looking people ran over and surrounded him: "You still want to run..."

One of the one-eyed dragons laughed grimly.

"Boss, this person is not him!" The tall and thin man next to the one-eyed dragon exclaimed after looking at Guo Ling carefully.

"Damn it!" The one-eyed dragon also realized that Guo Ling was not the person they were looking for. "Keep chasing!"

The few of them ignored Guo Ling and ran in the same direction again.

Guo Ling shook his head: "These guys must be locals, all of them are ugly..."

He suddenly became more interested in Houkun City: Why are people so ugly in a place with such a high level of technological development?

After a few days of leisurely life, Guo Ling had just gotten rid of the ups and downs of losing and regaining in Kunlun City, and then losing again in an instant, when he felt the development of the situation coming at him again, leaving him no chance to breathe.

Because a large group of things appeared on the horizon, almost covering a corner of the sky. At first glance, he thought it was a flock of birds, but he heard a faint roar in his ears.

He was very familiar with this roar. Back then, in the final stage of the "Reunification" game, the heavy armored vehicles that Pierce and Pu Yue had built in the underground factory seemed to make a similar sound.

But unlike heavy armored vehicles, the sound made by these things didn't seem as rough and bold, but rather a bit sharp.

So, these things weren't natural birds at all, but man-made artifacts. And they could fly, so they were undoubtedly airplanes! Guo Ling began to recall the introductions and images he had seen about airplanes.

Obviously, they are not large fixed-wing aircraft, but small aircraft powered by many distributed rotors. And judging from the size of each aircraft, it is highly likely that there is no pilot operating them.

Soon, they flew over the central avenue of Houkun City, and the roar became clear. Although the overall volume was not high, it was as dense as an invisible and impenetrable net, covering the ground directly, causing the panic that people were beginning to feel to constantly collide and echo in it.

Guo Ling looked up, and for a moment, he forgot to move. He had experienced the despair of Wuming City before, and now, the swarm of planes that obscured the sky seemed to leave him even more bewildered. Crucially, he had no idea what their purpose was or what consequences they would bring.
