According to their previous conjectures, the mazes and games tend to appear in densely populated areas.

Cities like Chongqing, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, were the first places where the dolls appeared, so logically, they should also be the first places where mazes appear. So why is there no fog in Shanghai?

They gazed ahead, the towering buildings in the distance were densely packed, and the interweaving elevated highways gave a sense of the prosperity of a modern metropolis, as if the city was unscathed in the disaster.

Shen Mo said, “Shanghai has a large population, and there are naturally many capable people. If three groups pass through the maze, the maze will disappear.”

Just like in Hangzhou.

In Hangzhou’s maze, Shen Mo’s group was the third to get through, Yan Qingwen’s group was the second, and they had no idea who completed it first and where they went.

This was also why Shen Mo initially arranged their destination in Jiaxing and Shaoxing.

If they want to compete for puzzles, they will have more opportunities in secondary and tertiary cities surrounding major cities than in major cities themselves.

The group set off again.

One was a powerful modified jeep, the other was a rugged large off-road vehicle.

After driving for less than ten minutes, a roadblock suddenly appeared in front of them, and two uniformed men stopped them –

“Spread out! Keep a gap of at least one minute between each car!” the man in the uniform said, “Those are the rules!”

They had no problem with the dispersion; they can cooperate. However, they needed to understand why it was necessary.

Yan Qingwen got out of the car to negotiate: “The signs show that the number of game triggers nearby is over 20. We should be within a safe range.”

The other party was relatively polite and explained, “This is a regulation from our superiors! To avoid a high concentration of people within a square kilometer and attract new game instances, all vehicles entering the city need to disperse! We hope for your cooperation!”

Shen Mo heard this in the car, frowned slightly, and leaned out to ask, “Which higher-ups are you referring to? I am an action director for the National Security Administration. I am currently looking for a professor named Song Mingchuan. If possible, I hope you can assist.”

With that, he showed them his identification.

The two uniformed men were stunned. They both looked and behaved untrained, clearly hastily promoted. They became somewhat nervous at the sight of an “official representative” like Shen Mo.

They turned Shen Mo’s ID over and over several times, looking at each other.

“We’re in traffic control; we’re not sure…” One of them returned Shen Mo’s ID and said, “You can ask around People’s Square. The people from the headquarters are there.”

“Thank you.” Shen Mo retrieved his ID and looked at Yan Qingwen.

Yan Qingwen gave a faint smile, waved at Shen Mo and Bai Youwei in the off-road vehicle, and said, “It seems like it’s very safe in the city. See you at People’s Square later.”

The jeep took off first.

Only after a minute did Shen Mo’s party start their vehicle.

The road was smooth, with occasional pedestrians. Although there weren’t many, about one or two every kilometer, it was still much better than in Hangzhou because these pedestrians reacted normally when they saw the vehicles on the road.

At least it indicated that the current situation in Shanghai was stable, with sufficient food and water, so the people here did not need to be overly tense.

As they turned from Ninth River Road into People’s Square, they noticed an increase in the number of people.

About twenty people were crowding around a large public notice board outside People’s Square, with a few men in duckbill caps maintaining order.

Just as Shen Mo was about to get out of the car to take a look, one of the men suddenly lifted the brim of his duckbill cap and shouted in surprise, “Brother Mo!!!”
