Chapter 97
Highway 404 (17)
There was a thin layer of haze over Smile Town. The polluted lights were filling the air and the buildings in the town had lost their outlines. From a distance, they looked like watchtowers melting in the mist.
There was a sense of desolation despite the bright lights. Unlike ZI City, Smile Town wasn’t cold.
The streets and alleys were full of pedestrians and there was an endless flow on the roads.
Chi Nan leaned against the car window and looked out. He found that these pedestrians were walking alone or in groups, but they had the same smiles on their faces as the posters.
Their smiles seemed to have been carved out of a mold.
“This is too horrifying…” Pei Mo, who was sitting in the back row, looked at the smiling group of people and shivered.
Chi Nan had already rolled up the car window to avoid eye contact with these strangely smiling pedestrians.
He also noticed that in addition to the neat smiles of everyone in the town, the walls of the buildings were mostly made with glass. The pedestrians passed by and inadvertently looked in the mirrors, so countless lines of sight overlapped in the glass walls.
