That night, Woyu slept soundly. His bed was as comfortable as a baby's cradle. When he left the bed reluctantly and groped his way to the bathroom, he realized this.
'I shouldn't have drunk the fourth cocktail … 'He unzipped his pants and aimed it at the toilet.
Suddenly, he staggered, and yellow urine splashed onto the toilet seat and the floor. Woyu quickly grabbed the shower curtain with one hand and steadied himself.
Although the cocktails were sweet, they were quite strong.
The combination of alcohol and drowsiness muddled his mind. When he pulled up his pants again and bent down to wipe the toilet bowl with a paper towel, he staggered again. This time, he hit his forehead hard on the sink. Amidst the pain, he finally realized that the room was shaking slightly.
'Why is the room shaking?
Did he drink too much? Or is it an earthquake? '
He held the wall and walked toward the door. Fortunately, the door was within reach. His bedroom was small, about the size of a cheap hotel room. Silas would only assign a suite like Yu Yuan's to those who had the right to register in the system. Woyu grumbled as he opened the door. The light from the corridor and Silas's voice poured into the room.
"Climbing," it was the first time he heard Silas announce something in another language since he moved in. It was one of the languages he knew, but he could not understand what it meant at the moment. "Continue to climb," the female voice continued to echo in the corridor. Her voice lingered at the end of the corridor, "Everyone, please pay attention to your balance."
"Silas!" Woyu raised his head and shouted, "Hey! What's going on? "
The female voice did not respond to him at all. Woyu cursed under his breath. He picked up his slippers from behind the door, put them on, and dragged himself out of the room. He did not know why, but Silas would only respond to his requests in certain places, such as the dining room, the bar, and the walking path.
As soon as he reached the end of the corridor, he heard footsteps pounding on the metal floor.
'Are the two of them coming back? ' Woyu immediately remembered that Lin Sanjiu wanted to register him, so he quickened his pace. The footsteps were coming his way, echoing heavily in the corridor. Just when he was about to come face to face with the owner of the footsteps, Woyu was startled. He twisted his body and dove into a fork in the road beside him, quickly crouching on the ground.
A man's figure hurried over from the fork in the road ahead — it wasn't Yu Yuan.
Woyu lay prone on the rubber floor. His eyes were wide open, but his breathing was controlled to be light and thin.
Since the man did not sit in the cockpit like Lin Sanjiu did, it meant that his target was too close to him to use the cockpit. On Woyu's left, which was the direction the man was heading to, was a residential area that included his bedroom.
He vaguely felt that the other party was not a new tenant.
"Silas!" Just as Woyu was hesitating, the man's voice rang out in the corridor. It was in the same language as the one the system had used just now. "Tell me who is left here."
His tone was natural and casual, as if he was the owner of the house.
"There is a prisoner in the prison, and there is a pet in the living area."
It took Woyu a long time to realize who his pet was, raising his eyebrows.
"Prisoner?" The man did not seem to care about the pet at all. He paused for a few seconds and smiled, "Fine. Let the prisoner live a little longer. I will deal with him after I find a new place to land. Take this as a token of appreciation for the woman who bought the house. "
Even though Woyu had no idea what the man meant by "land", he crawled backward slowly.
"It seems like I won't be needing this anymore," the man muttered to himself. Woyu had no idea what he meant by "this". Then, he ordered, "Lock all the rooms," and walked back the way he came. By then, Woyu had already retreated from the fork in the road and was now sticking close to the wall at the corner. When the man walked past him, Woyu looked around and followed him quietly.
His slippers made a soft clicking sound on the floor. Woyu quickly left them behind and walked into the main corridor barefooted.
The heavy and unfamiliar footsteps in front of him had already gone far away. Only the faint echoes in the corridor pointed him in the right direction. Every time Woyu passed through a door, he would look around, but other than the slight tremors under his feet, everything seemed to be normal.
There was no doubt that Silas knew where he was going, but she did not warn the man. Woyu was glad about that, but he was also a little angry.
Even though he was jogging, the footsteps in the distance were getting weaker and weaker. Eventually, he could no longer hear them. Woyu lost his target halfway, and he looked around in confusion. He knew that he had arrived at the inner edge of Exodus because the corridor was like a bow, drawing an arc on the right-hand side and disappearing into the distance.
Exodus was a ring. The inner edge of the ring was connected to an open-air garden, a walking path, a martial arts field, and other areas that required a large space. These areas occupied the center of the ring. 'Did the man decide to take a stroll in the garden on a whim? 'Woyu thought as he walked to the connecting bridge and pressed a few buttons on the wall.
The metal deck that sealed the connecting bridge slowly opened with a buzzing sound. It split into several irregular pieces and retracted into the wall. Woyu ran across the connecting bridge as quickly and silently as he could. His body was tense, and he was ready to jump aside and hide as soon as he saw the man's shadow. However, he did not see anyone even when he was close to the open-air garden.
Woyu hesitated for a moment before he turned around and opened the door that led to the garden.
The open-air garden was actually not exposed to the sun. There was a semi-circular transparent cover made of an unknown material above the garden. 'If they didn't build their house in the middle of a windy and sandy canyon, they wouldn't have spent so much money to build this broken cover. I really don't understand what's wrong with these rich people. '
The second half of the thought froze in Woyu's mind like a block of ice.
The sky was still pitch-black, dotted with stars. Apart from the occasional sandstorm, the scenery was no different from that of the Grand Canyon. But what really made him unable to move or say a word was the scenery below the transparent dome.
The canyon was gone.
Looking out from the garden, there was only darkness. Even the rocks that were used to support Exodus were nowhere to be seen. Outside the translucent shield, wisps of white smoke were being blown away by the strong wind. Far away in the distance, Woyu could see something of the same color. He knew very well that it was a layer of clouds.
"Why … Why is the house flying?!" He could not help but let out a cry from his throat. He had already rushed to the edge of the garden and looked down through the transparent cover. In the darkness, except for more clouds, he could not even see the light in the Heaven Underworld.
Just when he was at a loss of what to do, a few flashes of light suddenly appeared out of nowhere, dazzling him. He squinted his eyes and looked around. Just when he was wondering what was going on, he saw another flash of light above his head, and then it was all dark again.
But this time, in the brief flash of light, he saw a strange silhouette in the dark. It was an aircraft. He immediately realized that there was a pure black aircraft in the sky above Exodus, and it was closely following the flying house.
He didn't know what the flashes of light meant, so he just shielded his eyes with his hands and squinted his eyes again. After seeing it once, he had a rough idea of what he was looking for, and he could just barely make out the silhouette of the aircraft in the dark.
Just when Woyu was lost in thought, the mantis-like aircraft suddenly lowered its nose and plunged straight toward him. Woyu was so frightened that he screamed. Just when he took half a step back, he saw the aircraft jerk upward just as it was about to hit the transparent cover, making a sharp turn in the dark. At the same time, a small beam of light suddenly poured out of the aircraft.
It was not until he saw a familiar figure in the light that Woyu realized that the cabin door of the aircraft had been opened.
Half of Lin Sanjiu's body was exposed in the air, and one of her hands was not behind the door. She must be holding on to something. In the blink of an eye, she raised her other hand to her ear and made a gesture that indicated that she was making a phone call.
Then, she disappeared into the dark together with the aircraft.
Everything happened so fast that Woyu almost thought that he was hallucinating. When he was blinked twice by the light of the aircraft, he suddenly snapped out of his trance. He glanced at the sky, turned around, and ran toward the connecting bridge.
The communication device that Lin Sanjiu had left behind was on the dining table in the living quarters. He had to get back to the dining hall as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, not long after he rushed into the curved corridor, he once again heard the heavy footsteps coming from behind him, blocking his way to the connecting bridge.
'Where did this man come from? '
Woyu did not misunderstand his combat prowess, so he quickly looked around, trying to find a place to hide. However, the curved corridor was empty. There was not even a corner or a fork in the corridor. The footsteps behind him were getting louder and louder. In desperation, Woyu held his breath, stood on his tiptoes, and ran as fast as he could with his meaty toes.
He could only hope that he was fast enough and that the curved corridor would shield him from the eyes of the people behind him.
"Silas," the man seemed to be very happy. His voice was a lot louder than before, "I need you to cruise Exodus to the new position I have designated. Also, send me a levitating pod."
Woyu's vision darkened. Just as he was about to cry out for God, Silas replied softly, "Okay."
However, his bad luck was not over yet.
