Shen Mo finished his words. Tan Xiao, Cheng Wei Cai, and even Bai You Wei, none of the three spoke.
Shen Mo's gaze swept over their faces one by one, and he spoke again: "Based on my experience, there are only two possibilities for the rescue boat not returning--
One, something happened to the rescue boat, and it can't save itself;
Two, nothing happened to the rescue boat, but the number of people it can accommodate is limited, so the rest were abandoned.
No matter which of the above is the case, there's no need for us to wait any longer.
And I also heard at Yangzhou Port that this kind of fog is not only in Yangzhou, but also in Shanghai and Hangzhou. We might as well make a bold assumption, will cities with large populations experience white fog? Yangzhou didn't have a large population originally, but recently a large number of foreigners have gathered, so white fog has also appeared?
If this assumption is true, and the white fog is constantly expanding, instead of being passively forced into a corner, it is better to take the initiative and go in and have a look."
Shen Mo's words contained too much information, and everyone was speechless for a long time.
He was not in a hurry, he turned his head to look at Bai You Wei, for some reason, he was inexplicably certain that she would agree with his suggestion.
"What do you think is in the fog?" Shen Mo asked Bai You Wei.
Bai You Wei's eyes rolled around, imitating his tone: "Based on my experience, there are two possibilities--
One, the game map expands, we are all in a game, and the existence of the white fog has a similar effect to that frog, death upon touch;
Two, the game map is divided, the white fog is a real game instance, which is somewhat different from the game we encountered on the road."
Shen Mo smiled.
Tan Xiao asked her, seemingly understanding but not understanding, "So… we have a 50% chance of dying?"
Bai You Wei glanced at him: "Considering that the first one violates the principle of fairness in the game, I think the second possibility is more likely."
"Oh…" Tan Xiao nodded.
He was a person with no idea, and habitually thought that Shen Mo and Bai You Wei's words made sense, so he asked hesitantly, "Then, when shall we go?"
Shen Mo looked at Teacher Cheng: "You stay here and wait for us…"
"I'm going too." Teacher Cheng's expression was sad, but his tone was very firm, "I'm an old bone, it's useless to stay here, I might as well go into the fog and see if I can see my old parents again."
Bai You Wei was silent for a while, and said, "If you really want to go… it's best to do it early and come out before dark."
Shen Mo made the final decision: "Let's go after dinner."
If Tu Dan was still here, she would probably vomit blood to death. She had been struggling for several days and hadn't made up her mind, but as a result, they were about to set off after just a few words…
…
White fog, dense and thick.
From a distance, it looked like a spider web that couldn't be pulled apart, but when it got closer, it looked like frost and snow evaporating.
With such a thick fog, there was no way to drive, so the four of them lined up and walked forward. Shen Mo pushed the wheelchair.
It was quiet in the fog.
It was a very thorough silence.
There was no birdsong, no insects chirping, even the wind stopped here.
They walked for about three to five minutes in this situation where they could neither see the way ahead nor hear any sound, and then, the fog began to thin.
The sun shone through the white fog, illuminating everything brightly--
The four people who came through the fog widened their eyes almost at the same time and were stunned.
All the buildings were combined and superimposed in bizarre shapes, piled up in front of them into huge high walls, forming countless winding passages!
The city has become a giant maze!
Tan Xiao walked forward a few steps with his mouth wide open in shock, reached out and touched the "wall" made of utility poles, trees, steel bars, bungalow tiles and vending machines, turned his head back dumbfounded, and said to Cheng Wei Cai: "Old Cheng… I'm afraid you won't find your way home."
