Today, I Have Yet to Become a Doll

According to their previous deductions, mazes and games liked to appear in densely populated areas.

Chongqing, Bejing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other cities were the first areas where dolls appeared. Logically speaking, they should also be the first areas where mazes appeared. Why was there no fog in Shanghai?

They looked ahead. In the distance, high-rise buildings stood in rows, and elevated roads looped around, full of the prosperity of a modern metropolis, as if the city was safe and sound in this catastrophe.

Shen Mo said, "Shanghai has a large population, so naturally there are many capable people. As long as three groups of people clear the maze separately, the maze will disappear."

Just like Hangzhou.

In the Hangzhou maze, Shen Mo's group was the third to clear it, Yan Qingwen's group was the second, but they didn't know who the first group was, or where they went.

This was also why Shen Mo initially arranged for the destination to be Jiaxing and Shaoxing.

If they wanted to compete for the puzzle pieces, the second and third-tier cities surrounding the first-tier cities would offer more opportunities than the first-tier cities themselves.

The group set off again.

One vehicle was a mighty modified jeep, and the other was a large, dusty off-road vehicle.

The vehicles had been driving for no more than ten minutes when roadblocks suddenly appeared on the road ahead. Two people in uniform stopped them—

"Dispersed passage! The distance between vehicles should be at least one minute!" the uniformed person said. "This is the regulation!"

Dispersed passage was of course no problem, they could cooperate, but they had to find out why they had to be dispersed.

Yan Qingwen got out of the car to negotiate: "The road signs show that the number of people triggering games nearby is over 20. Our number should be within the safe range."

The other party's attitude was fairly polite, and he explained: "This is a regulation from above! In order to avoid excessive concentration of population within a square kilometer, which could attract new game instances, all vehicles entering the city must pass separately! We hope you will cooperate!"

Shen Mo, who was in the car, frowned slightly when he heard this, and leaned out his head to ask: "Who is your superior? I am the Special Operations Director of the National Security Headquarters. I am currently looking for a professor named Song Mingchuan. If possible, I hope you can assist me."

As he spoke, he showed his credentials to the other party.

The two people in uniform were stunned. Their expressions and postures didn't look like they had been trained, and they were obviously temporarily promoted. Seeing Shen Mo, this "official representative," they were a little nervous.

They turned Shen Mo's credentials back and forth and looked at them several times, looking at each other.

"We are from the traffic team, we don't know very well…" One of them returned the credentials to Shen Mo and said, "You can go to People's Square and ask, the people from headquarters are all there."

"Thank you." Shen Mo took back his credentials and glanced at Yan Qingwen.

Yan Qingwen smiled faintly and waved to Shen Mo and Bai Youwei in the off-road vehicle, "It seems that the city is very safe, then let's meet at People's Square later."

The jeep set off first.

One minute later, Shen Mo started the car.

The road was smooth all the way, and occasionally they would encounter pedestrians. Although the number was not large, averaging one or two people every kilometer, it was much better than the situation in Hangzhou, because these pedestrians looked very ordinary when they saw the vehicles on the road.

This at least shows that the current situation in Shanghai is stable, and there is sufficient food and water, so people here do not need to be too nervous.

Turning from Jiujiang Road into People's Square, they found that the number of people had increased.

About twenty people were gathered in front of a large announcement board outside People's Square, and several men wearing baseball caps were maintaining order.

Shen Mo was about to get out of the car to take a look when one of the men suddenly raised the brim of his baseball cap and shouted in surprise, "Brother Mo!!!"
