Chapter 7 Exploration and Mutation

At first glance, the canal with a long history canal runs through the magnificent city from east to west in the middle, dividing the city into north and south.

The city police officers on the street were wandering and patrolling according to specific routes. There were sometimes harsh roars on the live tracks above the city, and then the dark tram cars rushed past.

This is definitely a magnificent city with a unique style.

Moreover, the spacious coast can be seen at the pier in the distance, with heavy steel ships on the sea level, and the sound of whistles lasted for a long time, and the sea water was dyed in shocking red for some reason.

As for the other side of the dock, it seems to be a market area, or it may be an area of ​​a slaughterhouse.

Because Mo Chen smelled a strong smell of blood before he got close, he could see the corpses of some huge sea beasts piled up like mountains from afar...

"Are those... whales?"

Thanks to this body's vision, he was unable to identify the body of those giant beasts from afar without myopia.

In this world, no, at least the whaling industry in this city seems to be very developed? Only a moment could flash through my mind, and Mo Chen, who had attracted the attention of some city police officers, changed direction and walked away without a trace.

Maybe it's because of some important place there, or maybe it's because of his current dressing level.

Mo Chen still couldn't figure out whether the world or city is in the steam era or the electricity era, but he was able to determine whether the hierarchy here was definitely the mainstream of the feudal era.

Everyone cares about their identity and class. Although ordinary people are not as good as nobles, middle-level people will definitely not easily get involved with the lower-level people.

Mo Chen is like a middle-class person now. If he dressed up like this, he walked towards the other side of the pier that was suspected to be a slaughterhouse, which would naturally attract people's suspicious eyes.

It was absolutely abnormal, just as the nobles walked into the slums, and it was enough to attract some attention.

In this way, he carefully concealed his unusualness, and walked around the city with a very shocking and novel feeling.

Just like traveling to some famous places, ancient cities and historical sites, everything is so novel and full of interest in exploring more.

So he is very curious now and wants to know more about this city and this world.

The city is magnificent and huge, with tall buildings and towering buildings, the stone roads are flat and spacious, with complete sewers and a system for conveying tap water...

It is clean and neat, grand and grand, with a long history of civilization, majestic and magnificent.

However, no trees, flowers and plants were planted in the city, and the greening project seemed to be completely ignored. Moreover, the live air rails above the city and the trams that roared by each other every once in a while made the living environment in the city not very good.

But overall, Mo Chen felt that it exceeded his expectations.

In his impression, this Western-style ancient city similar to the ancient European city, no matter how grand, cannot be concealed by the dirty and messy aspects of hygiene.

Not to mention the scene of littering everywhere, it is even more common to urinate and defecate anywhere.

A living habit that has existed since the Roman era has been spread throughout Europe for thousands of years. After people have excreted at home, they will pour it down from the window. Walking on the streets of medieval European cities, if you are not careful, you will "disasters come from the sky."

Although the greening project is not very good and the noise disturbs the public is quite serious, it is enough for the whole city to be so neat and exquisite, which makes him overjoyed.

However, even so, he still felt something was wrong.

This city has always given him some sense of déjà vu, and it feels like he was there and when he had seen it.

But I just can't remember it. After all, it's really magical to say that "sense of déjà vu" is true, and it's really not rare. No one will be unfamiliar with it.

It is precisely because I feel familiar but I can’t remember it, which is called “sense of déjà vu”.

If you feel familiar and can remember it, it is "memory".

Mo Chen thought hard for a long time but did not get any results, so he naturally gave up. And the most important thing is that this city is not only huge, but also has various streets and alleys that are simply complicated.

His exploration process was not very fast, because it needed to be disguised naturally and not be discovered by others. At the same time, he also needed to record easy-to-identify features along the way so that he could find the route and return in the original way.

This is absolutely necessary.

He didn't want him to be so stupid and happy all day, and then finds that he has lost his direction and can't find the route back at all, so he will be cheating.

Because I am not familiar with the place, I have to rely on myself for everything.

...

...

Unconsciously, more than an hour passed and nothing special happened. Mo Chen's originally vigilant heart gradually relaxed and began to go further.

During this period he also noticed a phenomenon-

The streets around were always crowded, extremely lively and noisy, and they all seemed very excited, and they were discussing some topics.

In addition, soldiers on the streets frequently patrol, and a serious atmosphere faintly reveals in the air. It seems that what is the important day today? Or is there any major incident happening today?

But the language they used was very strange and strange, and Mo Chen couldn't understand it at all, so he could only guess like this, but he didn't understand what it was.

Because he does not have much language talent, his English is only at the level where he can just pass the fourth level of college.

Moreover, the language used by the people in this city does not seem to be any language on the earth, and this is the real focus. This also made Mo Chen somewhat confused because this situation was too bad.

Language barriers are the most troublesome problem. If you don’t solve this problem first, no matter what your plans and plans you have, you will not be able to proceed smoothly.

This made Mo Chen quite troubled and distressed. He couldn't think of any good way to solve this problem for the time being.

It is very difficult to learn a foreign language from scratch, but as long as you have that thought, it is not a difficult problem that cannot be solved. But Mo Chen does not feel that he has such conditions-

He now needs to hide himself, how should he learn the language of this world and who should he learn from?

Sure enough, after traveling through time, or if the whole universe uses a language, such a thing is simply impossible to happen in reality.

"Clang"! "Clang"! "Clang"! "Clang"!...

At this time, another harsh roar came from the air rail above the head. For a moment, the noise covered the voices of the people around him. Mo Chen stopped and looked up at the air rail tram in the air.

This scene seems to be really familiar, but where have I seen it...

A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he felt that a sense of déjà vu seemed to have become stronger.

Time passed minute by minute, but he still didn't remember it because-

At this moment, the crowd on the street suddenly became turbulent.

Suddenly, the sound of gunfire, the sound of screams, and the sound of shouting sounds were heard one after another, all of which were hidden in the roar of the tram.

By the time Mo Chen discovered the commotion around him, the chaos had already begun to spread without any warning.

“…”

“…”

What's going on? I just looked up for a while and got distracted for a while. Why... Is this a joke?

I was still worried just now. If I couldn’t speak, how could I communicate with locals to get information? What’s going on now? Such a city suddenly became a battlefield in the Middle East?

His pupils contracted slightly. Although he still couldn't figure out what was going on, there were fighting, gunfire, and explosions coming from all directions from afar and running away with people screaming and fleeing.

This extremely chaotic scene was enough to make him realize what he should do now.

The flock of sheep is a very scattered organization. Usually, they blindly rush left and right together. However, once a sheep moves, the other sheep will rush up without thinking, completely ignoring the wolves next to them and better grass not far away.

This blind obedience phenomenon is the so-called "herd effect". In this case, animals may not be more intelligent.

People have herd mentality, just like there is a person running on the street during the day, and everyone may run with him, but except for the first person, no one knows the reason for running.

Of course, anything that exists always has its rationality, and the herd effect is not necessarily useless. This is the preferred law of nature. Under the conditions of information asymmetry and uncertain expectations, it is indeed relatively low to see what others do.

Mo Chen is the same now. He doesn't understand what happened, but he also knows that he should have run away.

Running along may not necessarily lead to escape from danger, but staying there is definitely a conspicuous way, and you may be impacted by crowds and have a stampede accident... This is simply a multiple-choice question that is so simple that you don't need to consider.

Moreover, he did not run away in a panic like the people around him, but turned around and chose to return "the original way".

At this time, no matter what kind of terrible unrest occurs in this city, it is good. As long as he successfully returns to the place where the "door" is opened, escapes back to the real world, and returns the Rubik's Cube to its position and closes the light film.

Then even if it is ten minutes later, the city will be wiped out directly under the baptism of nuclear weapons or other natural disasters, and it will not affect him in another world.

Mo Chen ran quickly, but there were crowds of disturbing people everywhere on the street, so he couldn't run out in one breath.

Instead, we need to crowd, fight against the crowd, and walk through the gaps between the crowd with difficulty.

It was really difficult, just like in a surging river, trying to fight against the strong and rapid water. Mo Chen spent a lot of time on this.

By the time he successfully confirmed the "characteristics" along the way and found the route, but before halfway through, the crowd on the street had already dispersed-

It seems that they all ran home or went to shelter to some nearby buildings, which was really fast.

It was very crowded just now, but now there were only a few people, and the screams and shouts no longer resounded in all directions.

Mo Chen complained secretly, but there was no way. He also considered whether to follow the crowd to avoid the limelight, but he still didn't do so in the end.

If such a big thing happens, the city blockade will be inevitable. Even if you can escape for a while, you will not be able to escape the rigorous search afterwards. If you have no language, you will not be able to do so. No matter how you look at your own fate.

Only by taking this time and quickly returning to the "door" is your only way out.

Although he forced himself to make such a judgment calmly, Mo Chen still felt sorry for himself. Why did he have problems as soon as he came here? Why is this?

It's so unlucky, I feel like I've been targeted.

"Huh, wait--"

At this time, there were fierce and urgent quarrels coming from the corner of the street ahead, as if someone was angry and arguing.
