Chapter 442 Returning to Metropolis

After asking Ye Sangeng to make a portable disguise mask for himself, Lin Guiyao quietly left City of Hope, while Gui Xingchao made his avatar Lin Guiyao appear in the city at the right time, creating his own identity in the city. illusion.

As for the reason for the disguise, firstly, it was because of safety reasons, and secondly, because Lin Guiyao's first stop was Metropolis.

Strange to say, on the second day after Lin Guiyao set off, the torrential rain that had lasted for nearly eight months suddenly stopped, but before the people had time to cheer, they found that another disaster had begun.

This time, it was a thunderstorm.

The dark clouds gathered due to the torrential rain did not leave with the rain, but instead gathered heavier and heavier, and finally caused the light to be as dark as night even in the daytime.

apart from,

The rumbling thunder and lightning.

Lightning of unknown thickness and geometry kept flashing in the dark clouds, pulling out bright arcs, like a silver dragon shuttle.

But the dense frequency was really terrifying, and it took a long time for Lin Guiyao to get used to the roar in his ears.

"Maybe the book of promises has turned another page..." Lin Guiyao sighed.

He still remembers what Quan Mou said, but to say that he is the savior is a bit difficult for others.

Lin Guiyao just wants to live his own life and protect the people around him.

"So, the next core must be obtained!"

Coming to the city gate of the metropolis again, Lin Guiyao entered this super city that he hadn't been to for a long time after paying the entrance fee to the guards familiarly.

Due to the need to conceal his identity, Lin Guiyao lacked a pass to enter the Fifth Ring Road, so he could only wander around the Seventh Ring Road and Sixth Ring Road, looking for opportunities.

The original Kagura Street at the Seventh Ring Road has been widened into a goods warehouse, and there are only a few inns left, but the Kagura main store is still there, which surprised Lin Guiyao.

Lin Guiyao made Lin Hai abandon the management of Kagura Street because of the possibility of incurring hostility from the metropolis, and even dismissed the employees, and as far as he knew, his partner Roger seemed to have disappeared for a long time .

And during this period of time, it is a miracle that this place has not been completely eaten away by the forces in the metropolis.

"anyone there?"

Lin Guiyao glanced at the faded red signboard, shook his head, chose a corner table and sat down.

The tables are very clean, and the floor is also cleaned very hygienically. It can be seen that the guys have put in some effort, but there is not a single customer in the store, which is really strange.

"Hey, here we come!"

A childish voice came from the back kitchen. Before the curtain was opened, the sound of drinking was heard from afar. It sounded faintly happy.

"Little Lizi?" Lin Guiyao couldn't help asking strangely when he saw the person coming.

This thin boy, about fifteen or sixteen years old, was a poor boy that Lin Hai recruited in the metropolis before. Because he was diligent and flexible, he became Lin Hai's deputy, but he had obviously been dismissed. Why? Are you still operating here?

"The guest recognizes me?"

Xiao Lizi glanced up and down at Lin Guiyao, but naturally he couldn't recognize him.

"Oh, I came to City of Hope a long time ago and met you once. Why, has the owner of this shop changed now? Why is there no customer left?" Lin Guiyao said.

Xiao Lizi nodded with a wry smile: "It's been almost a year. If you still want to eat our store's signature Kagura fries, jade white jade and worry-free bread, I'm afraid you will be disappointed."

"Changed? Who is the current boss?"

Lin Guiyao said strangely, and then saw Xiao Lizi pointing his finger at himself.

"The current boss is me for the time being..."

"You? Oh, sorry, because I really miss the taste of Kagura fries, so I just..."

Xiao Lizi waved his hand and sat down.

"Understood. When I first closed the store, I was asked this question every day, but it has been a long time since no one asked me this question. Seeing that the customers came before the meal time, I guess they are not really hungry, right?"

Lin Guiyao nodded: "Can you elaborate?"

Xiao Lizi glanced at the back kitchen, then turned around and nodded, "Actually, there's nothing to say..."

It turned out that after Lin Hai withdrew, some forces soon discovered the abnormality of Kagura Street, especially letting them know that Roger had disappeared for a long time. Combined with the previous battle between the metropolis and the rebel army, they speculated that Luo Jie Jie had already died in battle, and without Roger, Kagura Street would have lost its backstage.

Kagura Street, which has lost the backstage, is naturally a big sweet pastry. The leaders of the slightly more active forces in the seventh, sixth, and even fourth rings all cast their sights on Kagura Street. The supply of ingredients in Kagura Street is It was inexplicably blocked at that time.

However, a plan issued by the third ring made their plan come to nothing: Kagura Street will be transformed into a warehouse and re-planned as a material distribution center.

Almost all the original clothing stores, gift shops, inns, and food markets were demolished, leaving only a few inns that were taken over and used as dormitories for workers.

The Kagura main store was also in the process of demolition, but it was temporarily stopped because no one was connected with the demolition funds. It was only after the publicity period expired that the engineering team came in again.

At this time, under the persuasion of Xiao Lizi, the dismissed employees of the Kagura main store raised funds to take down the Kagura main store on the grounds that they provided catering services for the workers in the warehouse.

Fortunately, they managed to take down the Kagura main store, and now their business is to make a large number of box lunches for the workers before lunch every day.

Unfortunately, the profit of making box lunches is too low, especially after the metropolitan city started the food rationing system during the rainstorm, let alone making box lunches, even feeding themselves has almost become a problem.

If the greenhouse production in Metropolis hadn't suddenly increased, and they could buy ingredients after the food rationing system was lifted, they really wouldn't have been able to survive.

"So, you would rather not make money every day, but also keep this shop?" Lin Guiyao asked, staring into Xiao Lizi's eyes.

Xiao Lizi nodded: "Although I don't know what trouble the boss got into, but Manager Lin gave us a large compensation salary when he left, plus the usual salary that even the elders of the fifth ring would envy. , we really owe the boss too much, so what is it to do such a little thing for him?"

"Moreover, maintaining this store doesn't take much effort. Everyone has other jobs, so we just need to take turns to come over and help out every day."

"Is this what you're planning?" Lin Guiyao asked.

Xiao Lizi shook his head: "I think everyone should be thinking the same as me. People like Boss Lin will definitely come back again. Even if they don't come back, we will remember that this store is still there. Just think about how you became a dignified person."
