Chapter 858 Abnormal!

"One cup of coffee, one serving. No, just one cup of coffee is enough." Tang Ji walked into a familiar street coffee shop in a daze and ordered a cup of coffee.

Seeing the specious clerk handing him a cup of steaming coffee, Tang Ji frowned and took a sip, only to find that the taste of the coffee was almost the same as the coffee he had bought during his mental patrol as a law enforcer.

This is the City of Night, the City of Night that only exists in dreams.

Tang Ji had lived in this illusory city for a long time, long enough for him to watch Tang Anran grow from a baby to a person who could go to school on his own.

But it was clear that the city was now more real than what he had seen in his dream.

There are countless vehicles on the street, and the grumpy drivers are honking their horns impatiently, greeting every driver who passes them cordially, classifying them as short-lived ghosts who are anxious to reincarnate, and then greeting them again in the same cordial tone. Every driver who is overtaken by him feels that if they are too old to drive, they should be thrown into a coffin.

The familiar exhaust fumes and curses reminded Tang Ji all the time that this was the City of Night.

Perhaps the only difference is that in this night city, there is no Tangji and no Angelina.

He was now standing on the street where the cozy little home once stood. The familiar coffee shop and the ramen stall on the corner proved that he was in the right place.

But the original slightly dilapidated apartment building disappeared and was replaced by a larger slum building with hundreds of floors but exuding the same smell.

Tang Ji is very familiar with such buildings. He used to feel a headache every time he came to such a place, because the physics of such buildings are often very good at harboring dirt and evil. At least half of the sixteen elevators used to go up and down are The other half is in Schrödinger's state and can break at any time.

Especially when the law enforcement officers arrive, these elevators will break down just in time every time. If there are law enforcement officers who are willing to expend their energy to climb dozens of floors, they might be surprised to find that there is a stairwell in the stairwell. It's already clogged with debris.

Each such building is more like a sealed small society. It has its own ecological environment and has nothing to do with the world outside the building.

Tang Ji would rather spend an extra eight hundred yuan a month to find a low-rise apartment to live in just to avoid such an environment, so this is definitely not his home.

This is Tang Anran's dream, but this dream is a bit too real. Everyone on the street has their own joys, sorrows, and joys, which are lifelike.

"It's not bad, isn't it? Although I always think it's a bit annoying to restore it like this." Edward didn't know when he walked up to Tang Ji and snapped his fingers at the barista, who showed a familiar smile like seeing an old customer. , there was no need to say anything else, and a cup of mixed coffee that suited Edward's preference was quickly served.

"Aren't you tired of living here for most of your life?" Tang Ji and Edward clinked glasses and asked.

"I'm used to the stench of this city. I cough when I change places." Edward laughed and gave his answer: "He said this is the Night City without superhumans. What do you think?"

"The only conclusion I can draw is that superhumans are not the source of all evil in this city." Tang Ji took another sip of coffee. Although Shelter Zero also provided coffee, for some reason, he always felt that it was Night City. The street coffee is better.

"That kid said it's not convenient for him to see you right now. It seems that some organization on the player side is targeting him." Edward basically lives in the dreamland Night City now, and his body in the real world has moved into the dormant warehouse again. Not cool enough.

In fact, Tang Anran has made a lot of preparations secretly. Currently, there are at least 20,000 people in the City of Night whom he has lured from the dormant warehouses in various shelters in the City of Night.

On the one hand, it is to alleviate the dispersion of the soul caused by long-term dormancy, and on the other hand, it is also to give Tang Anran a sense of belonging. After all, he is a stranger in a foreign land, but if he is not alone, he is not a stranger, right?

He can immigrate more than 20,000 people today, and 200,000 people tomorrow!

This is the city of dreams. Tang Anran doesn’t need so many full-time souls working here to anchor the world for him. These Night City people who work hard in the wasteland during the day are also serious Night City people, even if they don’t Having seen the former glory of Night City, I’m afraid I don’t mind living a little more casually in my dreams.

Anyway, the Night City in the dream is big enough. It is a super city with a population of nearly 10 million. The tens of thousands of confused souls here are like a drop in the ocean, not worth mentioning.

"That kid wants you to see the escape path he has prepared for this world." Edward pointed with some pride at the busy traffic on the street and the irritable pedestrians. Someone just raised their middle finger because of his eye contact. , and cursed and planned to come over to cause trouble, but happened to see Tang Ji who turned to look over, and immediately became honest.

"Seriously, do you think my education for him is lacking? The world is so big, can't he think of a better place?" Tang Ji's brows furrowed deeper. Who is he? He is the law enforcer of Night City, and he has witnessed the evil in every alley of the city.

"Don't forget that just like you, he was also born here. No matter whether it is good or bad, this is your home." Edward is very tolerant. After experiencing so much at his age, he has learned everything. If you look at it, life and death are just a threshold.

If it weren't for this 'son' who loves to take advantage of others, Edward would really like to just leave, just like his old buddy John Fleming, who just leaves without causing any trouble to others.

Edward only learned about the death of John Fleming three days ago. He was awakened because of the new policy of the Valentinians. It was nominally to teach the new generation survival experience, but the actual reason was that Valentinians The Lendinos are currently in short supply of dormant warehouses and no longer allow 'elderly people' over the age of eighty to continue occupying resources.

However, John Fleming was very open-minded. After confirming that his physical condition was getting weaker, one sunny morning, he asked his invisible servant to break his neck.

The death of John Fleming made Edward feel a lot. He always thought that John was the most ambitious among them to survive. After all, in this world where superhumans emerge in large numbers, as long as you are alive, there is hope for everything.

However, it was such an ambitious old guy who so calmly chose to end his life and end with the times. This even made Edward a little envious.

But Edward couldn't be so selfish. He still had a responsibility to the world, which was to make Tang Ji not feel so lonely. Sometimes the old man thought about it if Tang Ji slept for a few more decades during the big storm. When he woke up, he found that the world he was familiar with had been destroyed by his own hands. Everyone he knew, even those who knew him, had left this world. What kind of blow would it be to Tang Ji?

Although he was not deeply involved in the entire plan, Edward still relied on his special status to obtain some information about the Seven Deadly Sins of the previous generation from Tang Ji's team and Dr. Wu Qianying himself.

He knew the fate of the previous Fury and his ending. Edward never wanted Tangji to end up like this, so he enjoyed every day of his life, even if he only lived for others. "Drink less coffee, don't die suddenly." Tang Ji reached out and took the coffee from Edward's hand, then turned around and disappeared from this world.

"One more cup of coffee, boss." Edward smiled helplessly and pointed to his table.

Tang Ji opened his eyes suddenly, not knowing when he actually fell asleep. Only Tang Anran in the world could do this, and his spiritual world was the only one who had no defense against Tang Anran.

At other times, even Wolfgang, who had some of the power over Jealousy, did not dare to project his psychic abilities onto Tanguy.

"You slept for a total of 7 minutes and 54 seconds. How did it feel? I heard that that brat rebuilt a night city in his dream?" Wu Qianying asked curiously.

As one of the smartest people in the world, Wu Qianying was so smart that Tang Anran had to avoid Wu Qianying's sight from the beginning.

Compared to Tang Anran, who is hidden behind the world line, and Tang Ji, the most special of the Seven Deadly Sins, although Wu Qianying is smart, she cannot hide too many secrets in the eyes of the planning department, and even the senior officials of the mother world behind the planning department.

The counterattack plan planned by Dr. Wu Qianying was not exposed to the planning department because Tang Anran covered Vault Zero with a layer of 'fog of war'.

But if Wu Qianying sees too many things other than 'mundane things', then she will be like the elephant in the room, and Tang Anran can't hide it even if he wants to.

"It's just like the city you could see every day before the Apocalypse. It's very real, and the time is almost the same, but it's just the opposite." Tang Zimmer counted the time he spent in the Dream Night City, and found that it was the same as him. The sleep times are almost the same.

"I suspect that city is not just a dream, but I no longer have the energy to pursue these things." Wu Qianying sighed, but immediately cheered up: "Wang Zhengdao has almost recovered, while you were sleeping He has completed the initial mastery of the dimensional gate ability, and you have also mastered the dimensional gate ability. Do you want to go and see it together?"

"Okay." During this period, Tang Ji was very obedient and gentle towards Wu Qianying, which made Dr. Wu feel a little uncomfortable.

After all, although the relationship between the two of them was close before, they were both career-oriented and had lived separately for a long time. Their lives were completely independent of each other. To put it simply, they were not compatible with each other.

So during this period, Tang Ji's compensating tenderness made Wu Qianying a little bit too much.

Wang Zhengdao is currently practicing the ability to use the 'Dimension Gate'. This ability first appeared in the hands of the pioneers. The original body of the original ability user has died in the war, but its ability itself has become the player's in this war. logo.

When dimensional gates open in droves on the battlefield, death comes.

Players rely on leap-frog tactics using dimensional gates, leaving humans with almost no safe rear area. If humans had not become accustomed to decentralized warfare in previous corporate wars, the outcome of the war would have been even more tragic.

The power of the greedy blood potion injected by Wang Zhengdao comes from Mikkelsen's inventory.

In fact, the superhuman who has mastered the ability of [Dimension Gate] is dormant in Vault Zero, but there is no relevant record in any information.

Those were 'strategic supplies' that Mikkelsen had stored in advance, but due to the impact of the big storm, they had never been put to use. Now they can be considered to be fully utilized.

The [Dimensional Gate] ability is as handy as a child's toy to Wang Zhengdao, the world's strongest space superhuman.

Almost as soon as he mastered this ability, he reached the edge of promotion. If the ability level obtained by using the blood potion of others was not locked, Wang Zhengdao might be able to do what Paulina did back then. Let the dimensional gate exist independently from control.

Even now, Wang Zhengdao still makes full use of this ability.

When Dr. Wu Qianying and Tang Ji walked into Wang Zhengdao's ward, they saw Wang Zhengdao slowly moving the dimension door. Although Wang Zhengdao was moving very slowly, he seemed to be overcoming great resistance.

As we all know, the ability of dimensional gate is capable of killing. Tang Ji has seen many times that players in the gate team consciously cause damage through the cutting effect of space rupture.

Wang Zhengdao is doing something even scarier now. The other side of the dimensional door he opened is obviously a wasteland in the wasteland. Some hot wind is blowing through the dimensional door into his hospital room.

This period of time is the window time specially approved by Dr. Wu Qianying, and the huge source of interference under Shelter Zero has been closed.

As Wang Zhengdao moved, Wu Qianying and Tang Ji both saw a small sand dune on the other side of the space where the dimensional gate opened. As the dimensional gate cut off the dune itself from the middle, the gravel that lost its support fully reflected three or four Seconds later, it flowed into the ward with a splash.

"Do you know that all this sand contains trace amounts of radioactivity?" Wu Qianying clenched her fists: "Do you know how much effort we need to put into cleaning these sand grains?"

Wang Zhengdao turned around and saw Dr. Wu Qianying and Tang Ji. He immediately waved his hand and canceled the dimensional gate: "I have made all preparations and can start the second test at any time."

"You need to rest more. The last thing we want to see is you teleporting half a person over again." Wu Qianying persuaded, but the next second, Surte suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Doctor! The space channel is shrinking!"
