Chapter 510: The Grappling Hook Falling from the Sky
Pu Huai pulled the zipper of her clothes as high as possible.
"Is everything settled over there?"
"Well, I put the puppet in the pit and tied it to the vines. If you don't look carefully, you can't find it."
Anjiu didn't think anyone would pass by there.
Her puppets were absolutely safe.
"What's going on here? Why are all the people gathered here?"
"I don't know yet," Pu Huai shook his head, "Everyone was here when I came. Some people tried to get out from upstairs, but failed."
All they could see was the fenced-in area and the blue sky.
The place seemed to expand as the number of people increased, and since they never truly touched the four walls, there was no way to truly escape.
This was the first time Anjiu had encountered such a situation. They had been here for so long but hadn't even seen the outside world or the indigenous people.
But as everyone's attempts to test the wall intensified, it seemed like some kind of mechanism had been triggered.
With a gust of sharp wind, a grappling hook dragging a yellow elastic rope fell from the sky.
It grabbed a man's shoulder with great precision and suddenly pulled him up into the air.
The man was instantly frightened out of his wits and let out a sharp scream, but his body was unable to make any movement to resist.
Everyone looked up at this horrifying scene. When the man's figure quickly disappeared from their sight, they could not help but run around holding their heads.
Terror and despair echoed and overlapped in this small space, and everyone wanted to escape from this shackles.
They rushed to the corner like headless flies, their bodies bumped into each other, and they either staggered or fell directly to be stepped on by the people behind them.
His arms were flailing in pain and his legs were kicking frantically.
Screams rang out one after another, but failed to tear apart the space, and instead attracted more grappling hooks.
They dragged long yellow elastic ropes and swooped down towards the crowd with a clear purpose.
Grabbing someone's shoulders mercilessly, and with a new wave of desperate screams, quickly lifting them up and taking them back.
The scream went from a high-decibel volume around me to the air, then weakened and disappeared. This process only took a few seconds.
As the grappling hooks grabbed accurately again and again, everyone's panic reached its peak. They fled in all directions, but found that there was no way to escape. They could only watch the people around them being grabbed one by one.
In the chaos, I was also picked up by the grappling hook and lifted into the air.
An Jiu looked at the grappling hook that was reaching out to him without moving, and just said, "Go back to the space first."
The moment the grappling hook grabbed her shoulder, her body seemed to be electrified, and she felt numb and out of control.
As she rose higher, she saw the scene outside.
This is a world of highly developed technology.
The following is divided into four areas.
One is a residential area with tall buildings, one is a leisure area covered with glass and containing many entertainment equipments, and another is an industrial area with many processing plants. The last area is occupied by a silver-white reflective high-rise building that looks like a broken sword.
But there was no sign of any indigenous people in any area.
The grappling hook behind him was still moving, and Anjiu didn't know where it was going to take him.
As the grappling hook's elastic rope shortened and lowered, she finally saw the person who had been taken away earlier.
They were now locked in transparent rooms of different colors, with nothing inside except their own luggage.
They looked at the people who were brought in one after another with red and swollen eyes, and finally their eyes were no longer so frightened.
Anjiu was placed in a light blue room.
The grappling hook detached from her shoulder, changed direction, and grabbed back the way it came.
She looked around.
This is a house of about 20 square meters in size. The walls are icy light blue, there is no roof, and the walls are three meters high. It is not impossible to climb out if you try hard.
——I guess no one dares to turn it over because this house is built in the air.
The bottom is made up of only four glass pillars supported by the corners, plus a hollow glass tube inserted in a strange position.
Anjiu walked over to take a look. The pipe was connected to the ground, but its width was only as wide as a palm. Even the thinnest and smallest person could not get in.
It is completely impossible to escape from here.
The whole room was completely empty, without even a bed, it was a completely bare room.
Anjiu kept his eyes outside.
First of all, there are many such houses, and they are arranged in order of color transition.
All the houses form a huge circle, with each one ten meters apart.
At the top in the middle is the location of the grappling hook used to catch them.
A long elastic rope was being extended to send people into the house one by one.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one knew what was going on.
Because there were too many houses and there were blind spots in her vision, she only found one grandma and couldn't see Aling and the others at all.
As the last person was sent into the room and the grappling hook was retracted, everyone couldn't help but become nervous and guess what would happen next.
Just at this moment, a very conspicuous large number suddenly appeared on the wall of the room.
The house of Anjiu says "27".
The person on the left has room "28", the person on the right has room "26", and so on.
How is this going?
Why are they numbered like commodities?
Being high in the sky, everyone was afraid to smash or hit things, and due to their previous experiences they were afraid to shout, for fear of breaking taboos and causing the grappling hook to activate again, grabbing them and sending them to a deserted place.
Anjiu's gaze inadvertently slid downwards, and in an instant, a scene so strange that it made his hair stand on end came into view.
I saw a group of big-headed men gathering quietly below.
Their heads are totally disproportionate to their limbs; their arms are thin and weak, their leg muscles are atrophied, but their stomachs are as round as a balloon.
The hair on his head was sparse, his eyes and ears were very large, his mouth was very small, and he was wearing a loose, soft silk dress. The exposed skin looked as if it had never been exposed to the sun, and had an unnatural whiteness.
They all wore a strange-looking device that looked like headphones on their heads.
There was no sign of their lips moving, and not a single word was uttered. Their gazes, as if real, were directed straight at the people in the glass house above their heads. Their eyes were so focused that they were filled with creepy greed and desire.
It was as if in their eyes, the people above them were not of the same kind, but delicacies waiting to be devoured, rare things that could satisfy some of their evil desires.
This gaze was like a thorn in the back, causing the air in the glass room to freeze instantly, and a bone-chilling chill filled everyone's heart.
Just at this moment, the house numbered "6" suddenly dropped downwards.
Everyone was startled and listened to the unfortunate guy inside crying and screaming all the way until a mechanical grappling hook forced a helmet with an antenna on his head.
