Johnny made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Xiaofan, but he was the first to step onto the zebra crossing to lead the way. It was safe and there was no problem.
He trotted a few steps and crossed the zebra crossing without a hitch before the green light turned green. Zhang Xiaofan looked at the panting Johnny and said with a smile, "Mr. Shi's current body is really a bit weak. You should polish it up when you have time. After all, this world is very dangerous."
Johnny felt that he had brought shame to the people on Earth. Having stayed in the library all year round, his physical fitness was still a long way from that of a normal person, let alone this world full of power.
He smiled awkwardly and said, "Please give me more guidance, Mr. Zhang."
He looked around. The mall entrance was a little further west. There were no people or cars in sight, just an empty road and a solitary building, which was a bit creepy. He felt relieved when he saw Zhang Xiaofan still standing beside him.
A hundred meters only takes a short time. The entrance of the mall is no different from the day I traveled through time. There are two signs at the door, one saying [Please show your health code] and the other saying [Please wear a mask for your and everyone's safety].
Johnny stood in front of the automatic revolving doors on both wings, but the sensor doors did not respond at all.
Zhang Xiaofan said, "This place might be protected by a powerful barrier, making it difficult for us to break it with brute force. There are several entrances like this around here, all with similar layouts."
Johnny touched his trouser pocket and took out everything inside: a check, a pair of keys, a cell phone, and two masks.
Fortunately, everything was there, so I could try out some of my ideas. I took the phone in my hand and flipped through it, but there were no obvious signs of damage. I turned on the screen, and the battery was still sufficient. I tried to call my mentor, and the sweet voice of the mobile girl came from the phone.
"Hello, the number you dialed is out of service area. Please call again later. Sorry, the number you dialed is not reachable. Please call again later." After repeating it twice, the phone was automatically hung up.
As expected, he couldn't contact anyone. Then, to his surprise, Johnny discovered a Wi-Fi signal. He checked it and saw it was connected to the Joy Hotel. There's always a way out, so he logged into WeChat and tried to send a message to his mentor.
On WeChat, his friend list was completely empty, not a single person in it. Johnny felt this was normal. How could he have traveled to another world and still maintained contact with his original one?
As the saying goes, one says one thing but does another, and one's words are not what one means. Johnny tried QQ, Drift Bottle, WeChat Shake, and private messages on Tieba, but all fell on deaf ears.
Just at this moment, Douyin pushed a message that the anchor you follow, Lanterns and Dungeons, is live streaming.
"Holy crap, TikTok actually works." With my excited heart and trembling hands, I clicked on TikTok. To my great disappointment, TikTok was empty, with no friends at all.
After a careful look, I found that the messages pushed in Douyin were also from a previous time. They might have been pushed out as the network became smoother.
Zhang Xiaofan smiled at Johnny and said, "How about it, do you have any ideas?"
Johnny nodded and replied, "I have some ideas. It's clearly stated here. To enter the mall, you need to show your health code and wear a mask. Let me try the health code. Look, this is a mask. Just wear it like me."
He took the mask handed to him by Johnny, put it on with his hands, and said in surprise: "Can this purify spiritual energy?"
"What? Masks are for preventing COVID-19. Well, let's put it this way, they prevent viruses in the air from entering the body through the mouth and nose, causing illness. They can't purify spiritual energy or anything like that. At only two cents a piece, they're worthless."
"It should have some effect. After I put it on, I felt that the spiritual energy was a little more refined." Zhang Xiaofan took off the mask, held it in his hand and looked at it repeatedly. He didn't feel anything special, so he put it on again.
Johnny scanned the QR code, and an interface popped up immediately, and a crisp voice rang out, "Green code!"
Johnny stood in front of the revolving automatic doors on both wings again and displayed the green code in front of him.
The automatic door started to open slowly. Johnny quickly pulled Zhang Xiaofan up and stood on it. As the automatic door rotated, they slowly walked into the mall.
