I deliver food in a bizarre world

The group moved forward slowly, and after walking less than a hundred meters, they finally arrived at the courtyard wall of the first house at the entrance of the village.

Su Yifan suddenly squatted down. His major was trace evidence inspection, and he was more meticulous than the average person. Otherwise, he would not have been able to enter the Municipal Bureau after his internship.

Although the grass felt real, he still felt something was off.

He picked up a bit of soil with his fingers and touched a clump of seemingly dry wild grass by the roadside.

He pinched a blade of grass with his fingernail, but the tactile feedback from his fingertip was not the supple feeling of a plant.

This discovery caused him to furrow his brow deeply.

Ahead, the group continued walking, unaware of Su Yifan's movements. Only Lin Xiao, who was trailing behind, stopped and stared at him in bewilderment.

"What's wrong?"

Su Yifan remained silent. The soil beneath his feet was unusually hard and dry, making almost no sound when he stepped on it, as if he were walking on compacted ashes.

This unusual sight made him frown even more deeply.

Li Wenjing noticed the silence behind her, turned around, and saw Su Yifan squatting on the ground. She asked, "What did you find?"

"This isn't right." He said in a low voice, with a hint of unease.

"Tell me something I don't know!" Lin Xiao stood beside him, his face darkening.

"This soil...it's not damp at all, and it doesn't have any of the earthy smell that soil should have, and these grasses..."

He pulled out his tactical dagger and gently sliced ​​the tip of the blade against the base of a clump of grass.

He easily peeled off a layer of turf, along with a layer of soil, and held it in his palm.

The green grass showed no signs of moisture because what was exposed beneath the turf was not soil at all, but a layer of paper used to simulate it!

Unlike draft paper, toilet paper, or calligraphy paper, this paper is dark and thick, like crumpled corrugated paper particles, with a very rough texture to the touch.

Just by looking at its appearance, it looks exactly like ordinary soil, and it's impossible to tell what it's made of!

"This..." Li Haojie leaned closer, utterly astonished, "Not only the buildings and people, but even the grass is made of paper? The ground is paper too?"

Su Yifan stood up, his expression grave as he looked around: "I'm afraid it's more than that... This entire area is probably made of paper..."

After his reminder, everyone looked carefully ahead.

Although they were mentally prepared, the scene before them still shocked them.

The colors and textures of these houses are too uniform, with a base color of grayish-white, unlike any known building material, completely lacking the texture that brick or wood should have.

Those white walls so close by, though they looked mottled and dilapidated, seemed deliberately aged, without any trace of the passage of time.

"The whole world... is made of paper?" Li Wenjing was startled by these words, her voice trembling slightly.

But she quickly adjusted her mindset and wrote down this information.

Zhou Mingyu raised the camera equipped with night vision, adjusted the focus, and aimed it at the nearest house.

This is one of the few pieces of equipment that are still in good working order.

The image in the lens is relatively clear, but a fine snowflake flashes by from time to time, and there are occasional slight ghosting.

It's like the flickering of an old-fashioned television set from decades ago when the signal is bad.

"Well, the filming was disrupted, but it's still usable... thankfully."

After testing the camera, he tried to start the small drone he had brought.

The drone buzzed as it rose, but just three to five meters off the ground, the control screen began to shake violently, the signal became intermittent, and it could only hover at low altitude with difficulty.

The crowd gathered around to watch the transmitted footage and found that the scene was severely distorted.

"No, the drone simply can't fly up there." Zhou Mingyu helplessly recalled the drone.

This image quality is almost unusable for reconnaissance.

This thing is really expensive. Even though Chen Mo bought it, he'll still feel bad if it breaks.

Chen Xing said, "I think the limitation is the height of the entire space. The drones can't fly up because the total height here is limited; it's already reached its limit..."

Lin Xiao nodded, confirming this statement: "Yes, what Xingdi said makes some sense. It's just like when we encountered the white mist before; we've reached the end..."

"Whether we go further forward or fly higher, it might trigger some unknown consequences, so it's best not to try."

"Can you see yin energy?" Chen Mo asked his younger brother.

Chen Xing shook his head: "There is no yin energy around, including in the village in front... As far as the eye can see, the environment is all the same, so you can't tell."

Chen Xing couldn't tell either that the papers had a shielding effect, or that the yin energy and mist had merged into one...

"Start a live stream," Chen Mo suddenly said.

Zhou Mingyu was taken aback, then he understood.

Although we cannot locate it now, the signal booster is working, and the network can remain very stable!

In such a completely unfamiliar and desperate situation, maintaining an open connection with the outside world can bring unexpected benefits, whether it is gathering information or relieving psychological stress.

Jiang Mingyang muttered under his breath, "How come there's internet in this godforsaken place..."

Chen Mo said, "Supernatural events are fine if you can't figure them out. If they were completely logical, so many people wouldn't be afraid. Horror movie protagonists wouldn't die either. If theology could explain them, then it would be science!"

Zhou Mingyu quickly adjusted the backup satellite network signal booster.

He had prepared this to cope with extreme environments, but he never expected it to come in handy now.

Jiang Mingyang logged into Chen Mo's account and started the live stream.

Although the video occasionally shows flashes of snow, the fact that it can maintain a stable connection is already quite good.

Even though it's 2 a.m., a large number of night owls have already flocked in.

Apart from a few service industry workers or night shift workers, most wage earners work weekend shifts, so it's not a big deal to stay up late occasionally. Besides, it's normal for young people to stay up until 2 or 3 a.m. these days, right?

[Live stream at midnight? Trying to ambush me, huh?!]

[This background... it's so dark, where is this place?]

It looks like a film set, but it also has a creepy feel to it.

Wait, didn't you guys notice the title is "Secret Realm Adventure"?

[Really? Wasn't Brother Mo out on a team-building trip? He's already moved on to another location?]

The surrounding scenery is so strange, am I still in the mortal realm?

Jiang Mingyang briefly explained the current situation, but omitted the specific details of the secret realm, only saying that they were trapped in an abnormal area due to an accident.

He held the phone steady in front of his chest so that the camera could roughly cover the scene in front of him.

Everyone turned their attention to the streets on both sides.

The courtyard wall was low, with a thick, grayish-white paper-like texture, which looked extremely eerie. The gate was ajar, and through the crack, one could see that it was pitch black inside.

Li Haojie glanced at it, but for some reason, he felt a momentary daze, as if he were being controlled, and his body moved involuntarily.

"Don't move!" Lin Xiao and Chen Mo shouted almost simultaneously.
