"A city from more than forty years ago? No wonder. I just wandered around an alley that I don't know the name of for a long time, and I almost got dizzy." Rabbit finally breathed a sigh of relief after meeting Zhang Heng. "But what's worse is that I was trapped on the roof for most of the day by the sea breeze. I saved a guy who fell into the water, and he wanted to kick me down. Damn it."
"Do you know why we came here from the tsunami?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Well, many people think that people only have one dream a night. This is because most people only remember the last dream before they wake up. But in fact, this idea is wrong. In the study of sleep, most researchers are used to dividing the sleep cycle into two phases — rapid eye movement sleep (REM) and non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM). They alternate throughout the night. Early studies showed that people only dream when they are in REM, but later studies overturned this theory. So, in theory, we may have a lot of dreams in one night. Based on the current situation, we should have entered the second dream from Han Lu's previous dream. But it's not clear whether this transition between dreams is a natural transition between different stages or a special effect brought about by the Dreamland of Death," Rabbit said quickly.
"Do you have any plans?"
"Uhh … Improvise and plan?" Rabbit shrugged. "We got this item to enter the dreamland not long ago. It doesn't have a limit on the number of times it can be used, but we have to use up one flower each time. The thing is, there are only three flower buds, and after using them, we have to wait for them to grow again. And only one of them has bloomed. Because we were worried that someone might fall for it during this period, we didn't experiment in advance.
We can only take one step at a time. "Rabbit then looked at the popsicle cart not far away." Wow, this popsicle looks delicious. It's only five cents, and you don't have to worry about the calories. Wait for me to have one. " As she spoke, she took out her wallet and handed over ten yuan. Generously, she said, "Keep the change, Grandpa."
The old man did not reach out for the money. Instead, he stared at the ten yuan and frowned. "Little girl, is this … a fake note?"
Rabbit looked embarrassed, unable to defend herself.
In the end, under the old man's suspicious gaze, she fled and returned to Zhang Heng. "Oh no, they don't recognize the new RMB."
…
There were no more useful clues in the square, so Zhang Heng and Rabbit could only continue to look for their next target. Every once in a while, Zhang Heng would look at his watch.
Seeing this, Rabbit interrupted, "It's useless. The flow of time in the dream world is different from the flow of time outside."
Zhang Heng nodded and looked at the time recorded on his phone twice, memorizing all the time in his mind. "I know. I'm just trying to see if I can find any connection."
"Connection? What connection?"
"I don't know yet. It's better to be prepared," Zhang Heng said.
Along the way, the two of them managed to piece together a lot of information about Han Lu's childhood from the passersby. However, there was nothing that could lead them to Han Lu. That was until the two of them met Han Lu's mother. She was a translator, and she looked serious and serious.
It could be seen that Han Lu's feelings for her mother were very complicated. The nature of her job required her to travel frequently, and she missed most of Han Lu's childhood. At the same time, her poker face made her look a little mean.
However, Zhang Heng also found some similarities between the two. For example, they frowned when they were impatient. They were almost carved from the same mold. There was also a certain kind of hidden perseverance in their personalities. Zhang Heng finally knew where Han Lu's rhinitis came from.
Zhang Heng and Rabbit quietly followed Han Lu's mother, trying to find Han Lu's childhood residence through her.
After a while, Zhang Heng noticed the abnormality in the clouds above his head again.
It was exactly the same as before the tsunami, like some kind of omen before a disaster.
Immediately after that, Rabbit also raised her head and muttered, "No way. They're playing this trick? What should we do? Should we continue to follow them? Or should we find a higher place to observe the situation? "
Zhang Heng thought for a while and said to Rabbit, "You find a safe place first. I'll continue to follow them. Tell me where you want to go. I'll look for you when there's news or when the tsunami passes."
Rabbit hesitated. "In that case, I'd better stay a little longer. Anyway, according to the previous pattern, it will take about half an hour for the tsunami to arrive. I can safely retreat as long as I arrive five minutes earlier."
Zhang Heng did not try to persuade her.
But this time, the two guessed completely wrong. A quarter of an hour later, Rabbit looked at the thing that poked its head out of the clouds. Her eyes widened. "Really?! I thought the inland tsunami was bullsh * t. I didn't expect there to be a fantasy species! "
Three huge black shadows were flying over the city, like the Grim Reaper, looking down on the people.
"Uhh … I just hope they don't spit fire everywhere like Quan You did."
As soon as Rabbit's voice fell, she saw a giant dragon open its mouth, and its fiery breath accurately hit a metal bus on the road. As a result, the people on the bus did not even have a chance to escape. They were directly swallowed by the sea of fire, and the amazing heat even melted the bus.
After that, the giant dragon did not stop. The tongue of fire quickly swept the entire street, and in just a few breaths, the originally lively and cheerful street quickly turned into a purgatory. Unlike the previous tsunami, the people who were engulfed by the tongue of fire did not even leave their bones behind.
"Air-raid shelters," Zhang Heng quickly spat out three words when he saw the situation.
Air-raid shelters were very rare nowadays, but in the early 1970s, because of the Sino-Soviet relationship, coupled with the threat of the United States, the shadow of nuclear war had always shrouded everyone's hearts. So during that special period, almost all major universities, factories, and government agencies across the country were frantically digging air-raid shelters.
An underground city was dug directly under the capital, extending in all directions. One could drill all the way from Wangfujing to the train station. There were even cafeterias and barbershops.
Fortunately, these air-raid shelters were not put to use in the end, and they gradually withdrew from the stage of history. But with the appearance of the giant dragon, they could now play a role in another way.
Less than 400 meters away from the two, there was an entrance to an air-raid shelter, and a frightened crowd was rushing towards it.
In fact, there was no need for Zhang Heng to say anything. Rabbit had already been swept up by the crowd and rushed over. But after taking two steps, she found that Zhang Heng was not beside her.
