My girlfriend died in the past

Chapter 312: Zhuang Xiao Enters the City

Soon another Shudie came over.

Zhuang Xiao followed Pu Su Shu Die out of the car, and looked up and down at the new Shu Die.

She had a high ponytail, no makeup, a tanned skin, and was wearing a black military uniform and a tactical vest. At first glance, she looked like a cool and capable professional soldier.

When she saw Zhuang Xiao, she was stunned for a moment. Maybe because he was wearing a helmet, she mistook him for Shu Die.

Let's call her Special Operations Shudie.

She looked at Pu Su Shu Die expressionlessly and coldly, "What are you doing here?"

"Of course I have something to talk to you about."

"impossible."

Pu Su Shu Die was interrupted halfway through her words.

"I can't help you get into the city. You're already a 'wanderer'." Special Forces Shu Die responded coldly.

"Is our relationship not okay?" Pu Su Shudie smiled and went over to put his arm around her shoulders, but she slapped him away.

But Pu Su Shu Die was already trying to get close to her with a smile, "We were brought here together three years ago, and we helped each other back then. Why, you're turning your back on me now that I'm in such a bad state?"

"This is the 'rule'." Special Operations Shudie was very cold, "It's good enough for a worthless individual to be alive. We shouldn't expect more."

"Is it worth it?" Pu Su Shu Die stroked her smooth chin, "Then if I can make your dream come true, you can let me in in exchange."

Special Operations Shu Die glanced at Zhuang Xiao with cold eyes, "You mean her? Is she new? Are you going to introduce her to the 'boss'? What abilities does she have?"

"He is indeed special, and he is indeed from the 'outside', but not from other 'shadow worlds'." Pu Su Shudie kept it a secret, "But he can make your dream come true."

Special Operations Officer Shu Die frowned slightly, "Are you from the real world?"

She was asking about Zhuang Xiao.

At this time, Pu Su Shu Die gave Zhuang Xiao a look.

So Zhuang Xiao said calmly, "Yes."

It's time for him to "perform".

What is needed at this time is to act in your true colors.

I played myself.

Hearing the obvious male voice, Special Forces Shu Die was stunned for a moment.

"You used a voice changer." Her voice, which had always been cold, began to tremble.

"No."

Zhuang Xiao took off his helmet and smiled widely, "Long time no see, Xiaodie."

Special Operations Shu Die stared at him blankly, then suddenly lowered her eyes, "I would rather you call me"

She bit her lower lip slightly, "Mr. Xiao Shu."

Zhuang Xiao was stunned, and a picture suddenly appeared in his mind.

"I'm not here for a blind date with you, I hope you don't think too much about it."

"That day you went to find Gu Shiyue, not me."

"There is nothing between you and me."

"."

Zhuang Xiao already recognized who she was.

She is Shu Die from that original timeline.

She was the Lengdan Shudie in that timeline who chose to save Gu Shiyue on that day in 2012 instead of going to the park to find her.

So after that time travel, she has been in the "Shadow World" for three years?
No, she has been in this "shadow world" for three years.

And before that, I don’t know how much time had passed.

Thinking of this, Zhuang Xiao's eyes softened immediately, "I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye to you properly then."

"Twice already."

Special Operations Commander Shu Die or Xiao Zong Shu.

Mr. Shu's starry eyes drooped slightly.

The confusion she felt after arriving in the "shadow world", the ignorance and helplessness she felt after coming here, and now that she has gotten used to it, she thought that this was probably how her life would be like for the rest of her life.

Unexpectedly, I saw him again.

"So. Have you finished your previous work?"

At that time, she felt that he was not as ordinary as he seemed.

He always has something on his mind, and although he has an ordinary background, he is very powerful. He seems to be able to predict many things in advance and has saved her life.
She knew then that he seemed to be up to something.

Now she wouldn't ask what it was, she just wanted to know whether he had achieved what he wanted.

"It has been achieved, but now there are new problems." Zhuang Xiao smiled carefreely, "But overall it is stable and improving."

"So do we need to go into the city this time?" Mr. Shu asked.

Xiao nodded, "Yes, I am worried about this."

"Come with me." Xiao Shu always avoided looking at his face, "Put on your helmet and don't talk."

She didn't ask Zhuang Xiao what he was going to do this time.

There was no mention of what the consequences would be if she were exposed.

She was as capable as usual and left as soon as she said she would.

Zhuang Xiao put on his helmet silently.
-
Cars are coming and going on the wide roads in the city.

Through the rearview mirror of the Jinbei, Zhuang Xiao watched the slender figure getting farther and farther away, and finally withdrew his gaze.

"Hey." Pu Su Shudie raised her elbow and touched him, "You acted well. I almost thought that I would be out of the game. I didn't expect it would be so easy to get in.

"I originally thought you should talk to her more, or give her a hug or something."

Zhuang Xiao didn't respond, but said, "I don't think she would fantasize about me or anything like that. I don't think she is that kind of person."

Besides, his relationship with Mr. Xiao Shu had not actually reached that stage at the beginning.

"Don't worry about such a small matter. Besides, how could she let us in if it wasn't for this?" Pu Su Shu Die didn't care much. "Okay, sit tight. I don't want any more problems on the road."

Zhuang Xiao didn't say anything, but just leaned back in the seat with his hand on the helmet and stared out the window in a trance.

"Shadow World".
To be honest, he is not sure whether the analysis by everyone about the "shadow world" not being the fragments of the broken world after he went back in time is true or not.

It's possible that this is just something they say to comfort themselves, or maybe they're just afraid that he'll feel guilty.

But... forget it, it’s better to find out what the “boss” is thinking as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the matter of Xiaodie is always a thorn hanging over your head, so there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Looking at the bright neon lights outside the window, Zhuang Xiao unexpectedly felt a sense of alienation.

It was just like when he traveled to Beijing and Shanghai before.

The tall buildings are brightly lit.

But I feel like I don't belong here.

He slowly closed his eyes.

Forget it, thinking so much is just asking for trouble. Let’s just solve the problem at hand first.

After about ten minutes, the car stopped.

He heard Pu Su Shudie, who was driving next to him, say "We're here", so he opened his eyes. But after opening his eyes, he was stunned for a moment.

"Is this place Dongfang No. 1 Middle School?"

"Huh? You know?" Pu Su Shudie was confused at first, then suddenly realized, "Oh yes, you have Xiao Ge's memory."

Then she opened the car door and got out. "Yes, this was Dongfang No. 1 Middle School a long time ago. It is said that the 'Boss' bought this school when he was about to abandon it in the real world, and then transformed it into a cloning research center after coming to the 'shadow world'."

The two got out of the car and looked at the cloning center in the distance, where there were many Shudies patrolling.

Zhuang Xiao couldn't help but ask: "So how do you plan to get in?"

"Indeed, this place is like a dragnet, and normally you can't get in." Pu Su Shudie snapped her fingers, "But don't forget, I used to be the supervisor here."

"Well, so what?" Zhuang Xiao raised his eyebrows.

But because I was wearing a helmet, the other party couldn't see it.

"I know a secret passage that leads directly in. Not many people know about that secret passage. Including me, there are less than ten people." Pu Su Shudie turned around and said, "Follow me."

Zhuang Xiao followed her to a residential area.

There was no one in the neighborhood, and the two of them climbed in easily.

Seeing Zhuang Xiao looking around, Pu Su Shu Die was calm and said, "Don't worry, there's no one here."

Seeing that Zhuang Xiao didn't say anything, she smiled and said, "Do you find it strange? Other places look so high-tech, but this is an old-fashioned residential building."

Zhuang Xiao nodded, "Really? Do you know the reason?"

"Of course I know. It's just that the 'big brother' is nostalgic." Pu Su Shudie walked into the community with Zhuang Xiao and headed for an apartment building. "It's like this when people get old. She is most obsessed with Xiao Ge, so she bought all the places she went to with Xiao Ge in the past, and asked that they not be rebuilt. At least the appearance should remain the same as in the past. So many places in this city remain the same as they were more than 50 years ago."

Zhuang Xiao was silent for a moment, then asked, "Could this community be the house she rented when she was in junior high school? The one where we had lunch and took a nap at noon?"

"I almost forgot that you have Xiao Ge's memory." Pu Su Shudie glanced at him, "Yes, it's there."

Zhuang Xiao was puzzled, "So the secret passage is here?"

"Yes, it's in that building. There's a basement underneath, and the secret passage leads directly to the cloning research center."

Pu Su Shudie raised her eyes and said, "We are here, follow me."

Zhuang Xiao followed her advice and entered the unit door with the four robot dogs following her.

The house looked normal on the outside, but had obviously been remodeled on the inside.

Take the elevator for example. The elevators here are obviously much larger, almost as big as the large elevators in hospitals that can accommodate stretchers.

After entering the elevator, Pu Su Shudie raised her hand, pierced her finger in a place similar to a needle, dripped a drop of blood, and then pressed the button for the underground floor.

Seeing that Zhuang Xiao seemed to be looking at her, she explained: "After all, I used to be the supervisor here, and not many people know about this secret passage, so no one deleted the information I entered."

Zhuang Xiao was puzzled. "The problem is that your blood type and DNA are the same. Doesn't that mean all of you can use this elevator?"

"It's normal for an old antique in 2024 not to understand new technology." After saying this again, Pu Su Shu Die continued to explain, "Although our blood type and DNA are the same, the 'world information' in each of us is different. We just need to find the corresponding 'pheromone' and enter it."

"Pheromone?" Zhuang Xiao was puzzled. "What is that?"

"It's just like a coordinate system or something like that." Pu Su Shu Die explained casually, "For example, my pheromone is '2024.09.06.00.32'. You don't need to know more. It's useless anyway."

Zhuang Xiao silently kept this information in mind.

This so-called "pheromone" is probably the same thing as the coordinate system analyzed by the moon in ancient times.

Unexpectedly, the people from the Shudie Alliance in the "Shadow World" had already cracked this.

So they collected the blood of Shudie from other different "shadow worlds", not only to steal supplies, but also to collect "pheromones"?

Zhuang Xiao remained silent afterwards, and the elevator continued to go down for several minutes before it stopped.

At this time, Gu Shiyue's voice rang out in his earphone, "Based on the speed of the elevator and the time for comprehensive analysis, you should be about 300 to 400 meters below the surface now."

Zhuang Xiaowei nodded helplessly.

He made note of this.

If we go back in time and find that what Pu Su Shudie said about "pheromones" was wrong, then we will have to start thinking of solutions in this regard.

"Okay, let's go."

Zhuang Xiao looked up.

As the elevator door opened, a place similar to a hospital corridor appeared in front of him.

The passage is square in shape, inlaid with unknown alloys on all sides, and above the head there is a row of dark white lights inlaid on the alloy ceiling.

One man and four dogs followed Pu Su Shudie and walked several hundred meters to the end, which was still an elevator room.

Pu Su Shu Die gave another blood transfusion to open the door.

Zhuang Xiao silently remembered that the elevators on both sides of the secret passage required "pheromones" to be used.

Then the two of them and four dogs took the elevator all the way up.

A few minutes later, the elevator stopped.

Gu Shiyue's voice rang out in the headset, "Be careful, the elevator here is about five meters shorter than the entrance."

Zhuang Xiao asked calmly, "Is this the time?"

"I guess so. This is just a basement."

Pu Su Shu Die opened the door and asked him to leave.

After Zhuang Xiao followed her out, he looked around.

The surroundings were as bright as day. The room was about 10 to 20 square meters in size, but it had no windows.

It looks like it is indeed a basement.

The room was empty and contained nothing, except for a staircase leading upwards at the end.

When Zhuang Xiao looked at the basement, he always had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, "This...could it be the underground secret room of the Logistics Office in the Administration Building?"

"Hmm? You know this place?" Pu Su Shudie looked back curiously, "Brother Xiao still remembers this place?"

"Yes, but I forgot when and where I learned it." Zhuang Xiao raised his hand to adjust his helmet. "Strange. Why can't I remember it?"

Pu Su Shu Die immediately withdrew her inquiring gaze.

Then she understood.

Obviously something went wrong when injecting the memory, which caused the memory of this adult clone to become confused, so he couldn't remember when and where he had this memory.

Quite normal.

Hmm. Could it be that injecting all of Xiaoge’s memories is the way to generate thinking?
But it has been tested before, and that would only cause the clone to die instantly.

Or is it that the bodies of infants, toddlers and adolescents cannot withstand the allergic backlash, while the bodies of adults can?
Humph, maybe this way I can slowly figure out the boss's secret.

Pu Su Shu Die took Zhuang Xiao all the way up and left the basement.

The first thing Zhuang Xiao did after coming up was to look around.

This was originally supposed to be the logistics office, but at this moment it has clearly become a laboratory-like place, and its area has more than tripled.

At the same time, the lights here became much dimmer, or even completely devoid of light.

The source of the light comes from the surrounding cylindrical orange-yellow tempered glass columns.

These glass pillars emitted a faint orange light and seemed to be filled with unknown liquid.

The reason why Zhuang Xiao stood there motionless was because of the children floating in the liquid in the glass column, ranging from a few months old to three or four years old.

They all look exactly like Zhuang Xiao when he was a child.
