My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 310 You Are Not Zhuang Xiao (Together)
"What the hell?! Cyberpunk 2077!" Dong Zeyu exclaimed in the headset.

Zhuang Xiao curled his lips and said, "Indeed, I didn't expect that it would develop so dramatically after a few decades."

"It's just the tip of the iceberg." Gu Shiyue reminded, "Don't forget that Luoyang is not a big city, and the 'shadow world' is not even as good as the real Luoyang."

Zhuang Xiao and Dong Zeyu fell silent.

After a while, Dong Zeyu sighed with emotion, "I originally thought that living to 50 or 60 years old would be enough, but seeing this situation, I really want to live to be a hundred years old to see what the future holds."

Zhuang Xiao smiled, "It won't be long actually. We were both born in 99. We can see it as long as we live to be . Now we have already lived one third of our life."

"Well, who said it wasn't?" Dong Zeyu envied for a moment, then returned to the topic, "Then Brother Zhuang, how are you going to get in?"

He has played "Cyberpunk 2077" and watched the derivative animation.

It is not easy to enter this kind of city. The fact that the ID is fully connected to the Internet makes it difficult to fake.

Not to mention that there are no hackers among them, even if there are, they don’t have such high technology.

"Don't be too pessimistic." Gu Shiyue said: "After all, it's just a 'shadow world', it can't be that perfect."

"That's right." Zhuang Xiao nodded, then said with a click of the tongue, "I should have asked An Lan for more information earlier."

An Lan has experienced the future more than fifty years later, and she has probably also been to this "shadow world".

She must have a lot of information there.

Pity.

But there's still time.

Anyway, this is not the last time to go back in time. The most important thing is to find out the situation of this "shadow world", and then find out who the person behind the scenes is and why she wants to kill Shu Die in the real world.

Is it really to occupy the other person’s identity in the real world?

Then why did she call so many Shu Dies?
Could it be possible that all Shudies could be bewitched by her?
"Okay, let's get ready to go."

Zhuang Xiao turned over and rode on Kunlun. "Anyway, let's get closer to the city. We can see the city wall from this far away. The wall must be at least a hundred meters high."

"Of course." Dong Zeyu added, "And judging from the appearance, it is probably made of metal. What a big deal."

"Let's not talk about those useless things. Let's talk about it when we get there."

As he spoke, Zhuang Xiao controlled the four robot dogs and drove towards the brightly lit urban area. In addition to the "Kunlun" he was riding, another large robot dog "Haotian" led the way, and the other two medium-sized robot dogs guarded on both sides.

After running for about ten minutes, the man and four dogs suddenly stopped.

"Brother Zhuang, what's going on?"

Zhuang Xiao did not respond to Dong Zeyu's doubts in the headset, but directly let the robot dog's electronic eyes look forward.

There were lights everywhere, but it was a place similar to the shantytowns in the urban village that Zhuang Xiao had only seen ten years ago.

As the ultra-high-pixel images in the electronic eyes magnified, they could clearly see that some Shu Dies of various ages, who were dressed simply or even in patched clothes, were all staring blankly with numb expressions.

Zhuang Xiao and the other end of the headset were silent.

After a while, Dong Zeyu was quite impressed, "It's really cyberpunk."

He was joking.

After all, this is something that people in China could do fifty years ago. There is no reason why things would go backwards after fifty years, unless something major happened.

But he didn't expect the reality to be so outrageous.

Just looking at that shantytown, it looks like a small city in China in the 1980s and 1990s.

Then look up at the countless skyscrapers not far away and the countless neon lights illuminating the sky. This is too cyberpunk.

"It shouldn't be that outrageous."

Zhuang Xiao sighed, "After all, the 'Shadow World' only has fixed supplies. Although there is no time limit, they are gone once they are used up. They probably don't have enough resources. No wonder they have to rob everywhere."

"What should we do, Brother Zhuang, do we want to contact him?" Dong Zeyu asked.

Zhuang Xiao asked back, "What do you think?"

Gu Shiyue was not an expert in this area, so he didn't say anything.

Dong Zeyu was also worried, "I can't say either."

As a community policeman, he is quite professional in checking tenants and doing daily mediation. It's really not appropriate for him to do this.

"Weirui, what do you think?" Zhuang Xiao asked Dong Weirui who had been silent.

But he knew Dong Weirui was listening.

I didn't say anything before, probably because Shu Die was right next to me.

"Let me confirm one thing first. Are you sure you can go back in time this time?" Dong Weirui said softly.

Perhaps because Shu Die was not far away, she spoke in a low voice.

But this made her tone seem less serious.

"Ninety-five percent."

Zhuang Xiao said: "I think I understand what's going on."

He shared his speculation about this "story line" and how he confirmed it.

"Well, so you think that the death of the elderly version of Xiaodie caused the time to go back, and she dies every time, right?" Dong Weirui confirmed again.

"Yes, she should have died of illness." Zhuang Xiao replied.

"Have you had similar experiences in the past?" Dong Weirui continued to ask.

"Yeah." Zhuang Xiao thought of Xu Guoping.

This happened once before, too, and when he went back in time, the time would change.

At the beginning, he kept looking for clues and finally located Xu Guoping.

Because of different conditions, the time of Xu Guoping's death from cancer was different, which also resulted in a difference of a few days when the time was traced back.

"Now I understand." Dong Weirui said: "My suggestion is to contact him."

"Oh? How do you mean?" Zhuang Xiao asked.

"First of all, since they live outside the city, there are obviously several possibilities."

Dong Weirui speculated, "Either they don't agree with the Shudie Alliance, or they were squeezed out of the core circle because they are not important.

"But either way is good for you."

Dong Zeyu disagreed, "What if it's not like that? Wouldn't Zhuang be in trouble?"

Zhuang Xiao explained for Dong Weirui: "It's not a big problem. I roughly understand what Weirui means. What I lack most now is information, no matter what kind of information.

"And I can go back in time, so I can alert the enemy and get more information. Even if I am caught, they won't do anything to me, at least they won't kill me right now.

"So even if I'm imprisoned, I can get more information, and tomorrow, the 'mastermind' will die, and I will immediately go back to this morning."

After a pause, Zhuang Xiao asked, "Wei Rui, this is what you mean, right?"

Dong Weirui responded calmly, "Yeah."

"Is this really reliable?" Dong Zeyu always felt that it was not safe enough.

"Grandmaster, there is nothing perfect in this world. The more you want perfection, the more likely you are to fail. And it is even worse to be hesitant. Time waits for no one."

Zhuang Xiao stretched his body and then took off his helmet.

"So just do your best and leave the rest to fate. The most important thing is that you won't regret it in the future."

He clenched his fist and then laughed, "And I have the 'regret medicine' that others dream of.'" At first he regarded it as a curse.

But now, he was especially grateful for this ability that had appeared out of nowhere.

"Okay, I'm going."

After saying that, he hung the helmet on the robot dog, and then walked towards the shantytown with the robot dogs.

Shu Die, wearing an old pink sportswear, was squatting on the barren muddy ground beside the road digging grass roots. Suddenly, she heard a man's voice behind her, "Xiao Die."

She was stunned for a moment, thinking she was hallucinating.

This voice. Why is it so familiar and yet so strange?
The last time I heard this sound was probably five or six years ago.

Although sometimes I feel that so much time has passed, the memories of my normal life in the past have become blurred.

But the man's voice was the same as always.

But how come he is here?
It's really an illusion.

A bitter smile appeared on her numb face. Perhaps she missed her carefree life too much.

Compared to those, my stomach is more important today.

She touched her hungry belly and continued to look for grass roots.

Until someone tapped her on the shoulder.
"Xiaodie, don't you recognize me?"

Zhuang Xiao looked in astonishment at Shu Die who suddenly jumped up and retreated in front of him, his right hand awkwardly fixed in mid-air.

What's going on?

A bad start?

And why is Shu Die looking at me as if I were an alien?

Zhuang Xiao was thinking about how to approach the girl when Shu Die suddenly walked up to him and looked at him.

Then she suddenly raised her hand and pinched his face.

Zhuang Xiao let her do what she wanted, and when he was about to ask something, he suddenly heard some noise coming from the corner not far away.

Shu Die's expression suddenly changed. She then grabbed his hand and went into a nearby board house. The four robot dogs quickly followed.

The house looked like it only had one room, and there wasn't even a toilet. The room was empty except for a rusty, broken wire bed without a mattress or sheets.

"you"

Zhuang Xiao was about to speak, but her mouth was suddenly covered by her.

"shush"

She raised the index finger of her other hand and placed it on her cracked lips, frowning and asking him to be quiet.

Zhuang Xiaoneng could resist, but this was not the right time, so he had to shut up.

Shu Die put her ear against the leaky wooden door and listened to the footsteps gradually fading away. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and released her hand that was covering Zhuang Xiao's mouth.

Before Zhuang Xiao could ask, she frowned and looked at him worriedly, "Did you escape from the city?"

Zhuang Xiao was stunned for a moment.

At this time, Gu Shiyue's voice sounded in the headset, "The clothes look like high-tech, I misunderstood."

Zhuang Xiao suddenly realized.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, this simple Shudie looked at him with some sympathy in her starry eyes, "Yes, a failed work like yours would normally be destroyed, but you just ran out like this without the support of nutrient solution. I'm afraid you won't survive for a few days."

WTF?

Nutrient solution?
A failure?

Not many days left to live?
This is the new information!
"No, what does she mean by that—"

"Shut up."

As soon as Dong Zeyu asked the question through the headset, he was scolded back by his sister.

Dong Zeyu was silent instantly.

Zhuang Xiao frowned, "I don't understand what you mean."

"I knew it." Shu Die held her forehead helplessly.

Then she put down her hands and folded them, looking at Zhuang Xiao calmly, "Let me introduce myself. I used to be the head of the cloning department. I voluntarily left the inner city because I couldn't stand the 'boss's' behavior."

clone
Zhuang Xiao felt as if he had heard something extraordinary.

But you have to admit, this simply dressed Shu Die really does look like a female scientist when she gets serious.

"Sure enough, they did it after all. Alas."

Pu Su Shu Die sighed helplessly, "You won't understand even if I tell you this."

Zhuang Xiao frowned, "How would I know if you don't tell me, but I want to live."

As expected, as soon as he said this, Pu Su Shu Die's expression softened immediately.

Then came another bout of irritability.

She ruffled her already unkempt long hair, "It's so annoying! It's such a big hassle."

Zhuang Xiao was puzzled, "What trouble?"

"Of course it's your trouble!" Pu Su Shu Die tapped his chest with her slender index finger. "Do you know how much trouble this place will get into because of you?"

Zhuang Xiao was afraid of losing her hand, "What does it have to do with me?"

"Of course it has something to do with you!" Shu Die continued to poke at his chest, "By the way, how did you get out?"

Zhuang Xiao was stunned and said nonsense, "I don't know either. Anyway, after I woke up, I found myself here. Next to me were the equipment I was wearing and the four robot dogs. I put them on and ran out."

"Did you encounter any obstacles on the road?" Pu Su Shudie looked suspicious.

"No, everything went smoothly along the way." Zhuang Xiao told part of the truth.

"That's weird," Pu Su Shudie said with a sigh, "It seems there is indeed a traitor. I didn't expect that they would specially prepare this antique without an electronic lock for you."

She raised her eyes and glanced at Zhuang Xiao's face, then pinched his cheek hard, "You damn male succubus!"

Zhuang Xiao slapped her hand away again and said unhappily, "It's none of my business. What is this place? Why is it so weird?"

Pu Su Shu Die asked him back, "What about your memory? Do you remember what year it is now?"

Zhuang Xiao was startled, then followed his intuition and blurted out, "December 2024, 12, it's my birthday. I remember we were eating cake at my house that night, and then I can't remember clearly, it seems that I fell asleep after everyone went back?

"Anyway, I opened my eyes and found myself in a hospital bed, so I ripped the needle out and ran away."

“It turned out to be successful.”

Pu Su Shu Die muttered to herself in a daze.

But after looking at Zhuang Xiao, she shook her head again, "It seems that it is only half successful. If it is ripened so quickly, it will definitely age too quickly, but this is the first one with memory and consciousness."

Zhuang Xiao frowned, "What do you mean, Xiaodie, is there something wrong with your brain?"

"You are the one with the problem!" Pu Su Shudie rolled her eyes and continued, "Do you know what is going on with you?"

Zhuang Xiao was puzzled. "I am Zhuang Xiao, what can happen? What are those tall buildings like? Is this still Luoyang? Where are they?"

"Zhuang Xiao? Haha. You are not Brother Xiao." Pu Su Shudie crossed her arms and sneered, "You are just a clone of Brother Xiao."
