War Paradise

Five minutes later, when Lin Chi put on a "warm suit" and returned to the living room sweating profusely, the teenager leaning on the sofa raised his head and made a surprised voice:

"Aren't you hot like this?"

"There is no way, go to the countryside and follow the customs." Lin Chi looked at the boy in front of him and said, "You'd better put on a coat as well. There are a few more in the bedroom."

As a "fugitive", he naturally wanted to keep a low profile first. Dressing up the streets in Jane's current clothes will undoubtedly become the focus of attention, if it attracts the attention of the patrolman, it will not be good.

"It's too hot, forget it..." The young man shook his head, his voice full of reluctance.

"Well, you stay here and don't move, I'll go out to see the situation." Lin Chi said as he lowered the brim of the peaked cap, matched with the white mask on his face, almost covering the entire face, only two eyes were exposed.

After the disguise, he opened the green metal door of the living room and walked onto the streets of the "Hell Capital".

The scorching sun sprinkled on Lin Chi, who was wearing a thick coat, made Lin Chi feel like a sauna. As for how the pedestrians on the street feel at this time, just look at the red and black inside of their exposed hands. The skin tone is clear.

Lin Chi stood silently on the side of the street. Two patrolmen with AK-47s passed by him. These soldiers did not recognize that the person in front of him was a wanted criminal, and still patrolled the sidewalk without saying a word.

Seeing that the ordinary patrolmen failed to recognize him, Lin Chi finally settled down and began to observe the conditions of passers-by on the street.

Then, he immediately discovered the strangeness again:

These pedestrians, who are holding their military coats and sweating with heat, look painful, but in their voices there is joy from the heart:

"Did you watch yesterday's TV?"

"Ahhh, did you mean the second season of "The Murder Case"? It was actually replayed, so beautiful!"

A man and a woman wrapped in overcoats passed by Lin Chi, and a low voice sounded from the mask, with undisguised excitement. After the two passed by, a few people walked out from the nearby restaurant, and said with satisfaction:

"The dishes in this restaurant are so good, we will come next time!"

"Yeah, it's paradise here!"

Listening to the exaggerated tone of these people, Lin Chi narrowed his eyes without saying anything, and walked along the sidewalk to the west of the street, continuing to listen to the words of passers-by along the way.

"It's weird..." he murmured.

Under the circumstances that he became such a ghost, even if he had always been calm, he had a vague urge to swear. But the passers-by on the street are full of "positive energy", and there is not even a single complaint.

——What is going on with these guys?

While Lin Chi was guessing, he saw a thin woman in a black coat walking towards herself.

Her body was swaying, as if she might fall down at any time, the eyes exposed under the wide brimmed hat were swollen, the eyes were bloodshot, and there were obvious tears underneath.

Realizing that the other party seemed very sad, Lin Chi stopped, stared at the woman, and looked at the other party's appearance:

A sad person finally appeared on this street?

Lin Chi was guessing when he saw the other party taking out a brick-shaped old-fashioned mobile phone from his pocket, putting the bulky microphone to his mouth, laughing tremblingly, and said:

"Don't worry, haha, my son's funeral is over! Let's go home and have a good meal, hahahaha..."

Even though the woman was laughing, there was an unconcealable sadness in her voice, but even so, she was still smiling and passing by Lin Chi without looking back.

"..."

Looking at the back of the other party leaving, Lin Chi couldn't help being silent, then bent down to pick up the purse that had fallen out of the other party's pocket, hurriedly followed the woman, and patted her on the shoulder:

"Your wallet has dropped."

"what!"

The middle-aged woman who had just put down the phone was frightened and shook her head in a panic, grabbed the wallet in Lin Chi's hand, and smiled: "Thank you..."

"Well, if you want to cry, you might as well cry out?" Lin Chi asked tentatively.

Upon hearing this, the woman shook her head with furrowed brows, and suddenly lowered her voice and said, "This is a prohibited matter." Then she turned and left.

--what's the situation?

Lin Chi stared confusedly at the other's back, as if an ellipsis was slowly floating above his head.

He originally planned to go to the streets to investigate the situation here, but he became even more confused, completely unable to figure out what the routines of this city called the "Hell Capital" were.

It seems that the residents here are all wrapped up tightly, as if they are in laughter all the time, even if they have just attended the funeral of their son, they must be forced to laugh.

The patrols on the street are fully armed and look like they are facing the enemy. I don’t know what they are guarding against. The buildings on the roadside look very solid. They are not so much residential, but more like they are used in war. Bunker.

In addition, there is a very strange feature on this street: there are no street lights.

Lin Chi walked to the crossroad in front and stood at the intersection and looked around. He didn't even see a street light. There was no light fixture installed on the outside of the building on the roadside.

In other words, do the residents here need no street lights at night?

Realizing this, thinking of the small reminder "Please be careful when going out at night" when entering the game, Lin Chi turned around suspiciously and walked to the bulletin board on the street.

Perhaps a curfew has been implemented here to prohibit citizens from going out at night. But even so, not installing street lights is really weird.

Has this city been under curfew since its establishment?

Lin Chi stood in front of the bulletin board on the side of the road and stared at the several flyers posted on the sign. The imaginary advertisement did not appear. What appeared on the bulletin board was all official propaganda content:

"Keep smiling and don't be sad!"

"We need smiles, Holomansk needs positive energy!"

"So that's why everyone on the street is laughing?" Lin Chi raised his head in surprise.

Two young men walked behind him laughing and chatting about homework for the weekend. Although the whole street was filled with laughter and laughter, there was a burst of icy cold from his back.

——The residents here are not really happy, they just keep smiling under the orders of the ruler. Everyone seems to wear masks, like brainwashed dolls.

Realizing this, he suddenly looked back at the soldiers on patrol: these soldiers did not show a slight smile at all, but walked around the sidewalk indifferently with their guns, observing the pedestrians on the side of the road.

"What the **** is this...?" Lin Chi cursed in a low voice.
