Chapter 45 USB Drive

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Ling finally calmed down. He said coldly:

"Captain Han Meng, if your questioning is over... please leave my house."

Han Meng did not speak again. He stood up silently and walked out the door.

He pushed open the door, and the flying snow drifted into the house. The black windbreaker with four patterns fluttered slightly... He stopped for a moment and looked back at Chen Ling.

"Whether you believe me or not, I have been fulfilling my duties... If you really think that this world lacks justice, you might as well become it yourself."

"You passed the martial arts test as the first in the reserve seat. Now you are a formal law enforcer and can report to the headquarters tomorrow."

"And..."

"The qualification to enter the Bingdao Ancient Collection is also yours."

After saying this, he stepped into the heavy snow, and the black windbreaker gradually disappeared at the end of the street.

Chen Ling's eyes swept across the empty room, with a complicated expression... When Han Meng walked away, he also left the house and walked towards the back mountain.

...

Mass grave.

Chen Ling carried the uncut cake and slowly sat down in the snow.

"Ayan, I'm here." He looked at the pit he had dug in front of him and spoke softly.

The broken snow stuck to the boy's temples, like white hair. He took off the candles on the cake one by one and stuck them in the snow.

"You have already made a wish before, so I won't light the candles... I'll cut the cake for you."

Chen Ling took out a plastic knife from the box and cut the cake into two pieces bit by bit. One of them was neatly placed in front of the pit, and he took his own piece from the box.

The ice and snow covered the surface of the cake with the wind. Chen Ling took a bite and didn't know whether it was cream or ice chips.

While chewing, he spoke vaguely:

"Ayan, do you know?"

"This world is really ruined... This cake is so bad, but it costs two hundred copper coins. In my original world, the cake I bought for two hundred yuan is bigger than this one, and it tastes much better."

"If I have the chance, I really want to take you back. Although I am also a social animal, the money I earn is enough for you to have food and drink."

"But then again, if you go back with me, you will definitely live better than me... You are beautiful, and you sing well. If you become a short video blogger, you will have hundreds of millions of fans. You are definitely the inheritor of the traditional Chinese style."

Chen Ling's face was red from the cold wind. He took a few bites of the cake and looked up at the sky.

"But there are also good things here..."

"The aurora here is beautiful, whether it's day or night."

"But what's the use of being beautiful?"

"I have to do my best just to survive..."

"The path you gave me seems very powerful, but it seems to affect my mind... Is this what you call a bumpy road?"

"Han Meng asked me to join the law enforcers, but the "world-destroying" disaster in my body is a time bomb. Once it explodes, I will become the target of public criticism... So, does joining that club count as a one-step solution?"

"Instead of letting them find me and arrest me, why not go to the opposite side of them from the beginning?"

"Ayan... what do you think the next path should be?"

Chen Ling muttered to himself facing the pit.

Snap——

Just then, something slipped out of his pocket and fell into the snow.

Chen Ling picked up the thing. It was the small silver cube that Chu Muyun had given him before. In the cold wind, it was icy cold to the bone.

Chen Ling remembered that Chu Muyun said that through this thing, he might be able to understand them better... But how to use this thing?

He fiddled with the small silver cube in his hand for a long time, and with a light push of his fingertips, a silver slide cover separated from the main body, revealing a section of silver metal with some square holes, which looked like a standard...

"U disk?!"

Chen Ling looked at the USB flash drive in his hand in astonishment, his heart full of confusion.

Since coming to this world, Chen Ling has always thought that its technological level is probably stuck in the Republic of China in the last world, with kerosene lamps, rickshaws, salting to melt snow, old-fashioned pistols... But when he saw this USB flash drive, Chen Ling suddenly became confused.

Is this thing... supposed to appear in this world?

Where do computers come from in this world?

Without computers, where should this USB flash drive be plugged in?

Questions flashed through Chen Ling's mind one after another, and he picked up the USB flash drive and inserted it into the snow under him...

The next moment, a string of dark green codes automatically appeared on the snow!

[No. 129439]

Chen Ling rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot.

…

“Hua——”

The sound of rushing water rang in his ears.

Chen Ling suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare, and cold sweat soaked his back.

At some point, he had left the mass grave and came to a small square space. The sound of the toilet flushing gradually disappeared, replaced by a series of compact knocks on the door.

"Brother, are you done? I can't hold it anymore..."

Chen Ling came back to his senses and quickly looked around...

"...Toilet?"

Chen Ling's eyes widened in surprise.

It was not the shabby toilet in the house on Hanshuang Street, but a clean, bright modern toilet. Whether it was the sensor light above the head or the "TOTO" toilet behind him, Chen Ling felt a strong sense of familiarity.

"I... put it back on?" Chen Ling's eyes were full of confusion.

"Brother, if you want to wear pants, put them on quickly. If you don't, I really can't hold it anymore..." The man at the door was full of anxiety.

Chen Ling immediately pushed open the toilet door. A man in a polo shirt at the door was overjoyed. He stepped into the cubicle sideways and closed the door with a bang, followed by a comfortable groan...

Chen Ling looked around, subconsciously quickened his pace, and walked out of the toilet.

The first thing that caught his eye was "Hey Tea".

Next to it, there are KFC, MUJI, Zhou Hei Ya, Auntie Dumplings...

Looking at these familiar brands and the pedestrians walking around in the mall, Chen Ling's pupils shrank slightly... He seemed to have thought of something, and took crazy steps, walked through the crowd, and rushed out of the mall in countless weird eyes!

The moment he saw the high-rise building with his own eyes, there was only one thought left in Chen Ling's mind...

He is really back.

"I...did I have a dream?" Chen Ling held her head in her hands and muttered to herself, "No, if it was a dream...why did I wake up in the toilet?"

"Just now I was at the mass grave, talking to A Yan...and then I inserted the USB drive into the snow, and then..."

"Is it that USB drive??"

Just as Chen Ling was talking to herself, the big screen of the building opposite suddenly flashed,

"

"At nine o'clock this morning, a red meteor passed by the earth. At the same time, earthquakes broke out in very small areas across the country..."

"In just three minutes, hundreds of buildings split and collapsed, including the Meishang Hotel, Jiangkou Football Stadium, and Jingcheng Grand Theater...According to incomplete statistics, the current death toll exceeds two thousand..."
