long night fire

Shang Jianyao clapped his hands dutifully.

Unfortunately, no one cooperated with him.

Jiang Baimian looked around and said:

"Our main task is to find Maximian, the descendant of Ole from the 'Original City', and see what clues he has left behind.

"According to the information collected so far, Ole's surviving direct descendants are only one granddaughter Avia and one grandson Marcus, who live at 14 Round Hill Street, Golden Apple District and 57 Crown Street, Golden Apple District respectively. No.

"Our plan is very simple, find opportunities to contact them, let Shang Jianyao make friends with them.

"The most important thing to note about this plan is that there may be a great danger lurking in the dark, and there may be forces that are erasing all efforts to investigate the cause of the destruction of the old world or the origin of the 'innocent disease'.

"So, we have to be very cautious, very careful, and would rather miss than take a risk."

Hearing this, Gnawa scholar Jian Yao raised his hand:

"I have a question."

"What?" Jiang Baimian asked kindly.

"Since there are forces preventing all investigations into the cause of the destruction of the old world, why don't they just kill Avia, Marcus or someone else, so that the clues are completely interrupted?" This is the last analysis Gnava analyzed Reasonable development.

"Indeed, the laboratory in the ruins of Swamp No. 1 was blown up by Qiao Chu." Jiang Baimian nodded.

Slap, Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and punched his left palm:

"I know why!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he said calmly:

"Olei didn't leave any clues at all, and Avia and Marcus didn't know anything."

Then what are we doing in the original city?Long Yuehong slandered.

Bai Chen thought about it and said:

"Maybe Avia and Marcus have been closely protected by the 'Original City', and that force can't succeed."

Jiang Baimian nodded lightly:

"This may be relatively higher. In any case, the 'Original City' is the largest force in Huitu, and it would be too embarrassing if it can't even protect two people.

"This also reminds us to be more careful. Our enemies not only have hidden destroyers, but also protectors of the 'Original City'."

Having said that, she smiled wryly:

"Let's take a step and look at it first, the information we have is still too little.

"Okay, the second thing we need to do is to contact the Zhao family's liaison officer, go to the manor on the outskirts of the city to investigate, and strive to raise a sum of money within this week.

"The third thing is to go to the local hunter's guild and sell them the information that the giant white wolf may have other abilities."

This will be accompanied by Qiao Chu's various performances at the time as evidence, which is full of gold.

"The fourth thing is to contact the company's intelligence agents in the initial city. The fifth thing is to find Han Wanghuo, we still have to observe him. The sixth thing is to visit Bai Xiao and Lin Tong's team, they still owe us a meal Dinner..." Shang Jianyao helped Jiang Baimian make up the rest of the arrangements.

Jiang Baimian let out a "huh":

"You are right!"

At this moment, there was a sudden noise from somewhere.

Shang Jian Yao leaned over to the window and looked outside, but because this is the second floor, blocked by many buildings and obstacles, he could only see people coming and going on the street.

As for vehicles, there are not too many, mainly bicycles.

"Go down and ask." Jiang Baimian said after a few seconds of deliberation.

The five members of the "Old Tune Group" quickly returned to the lobby of the "Ugo Hotel", and found that the boss was also standing at the door, looking into the distance.

"What happened?" Bai Chen stepped forward and asked.

Ugo said with a slightly complicated expression:

"In the past week, these few streets, the third 'no heart disease'."

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from the loudspeaker on the telegraph pole outside:

"Due to the shortage of water resources, the water will be cut off after [-] o'clock tonight, and come at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning."

Chapter 27 Unique Landscapes

The news of the third "unintentional person", the solemn expression of the hotel owner Ugo and the broadcast announcement that the water will be cut off at night are mixed together, forming an indescribably wonderful atmosphere, which makes the four carbon-based people in the "Old Tune Group" They all kept silent, and no one spoke for a while.

Ugo raised his hand to touch his golden hair, his expression returned to normal, and he said to Jiang Baimian and the others in a slightly complaining and hasty tone:

"Hurry up and fill up the basins and buckets in the bathroom, and those who need to take a bath should do so quickly."

He walked towards the back of the hall on the first floor as he spoke, as if he was about to make some preparations for the water cut off.

He acted so normally, he seemed used to things like that.

This made Jiang Baimian and the others, who planned to ask about the recent "no-heart disease" situation, a little overwhelmed.

They finally decided to listen to the boss and reserve the necessary water sources to wash away the dirt and fatigue accumulated along the way.

By the time the "Old Tune Group" finished all this work, the sun was already slanting to the west, and it was about to fall to the horizon.

"Let's not do business tonight, go out to find something to eat, then come back to sleep, take a good rest, recharge the battery, and maintain the system." Jiang Baimian said the last half of the sentence while looking at Gnawa.

Every room here has its own electric meter, new or old or patchwork.

When the others nodded, Shang Jianyao was the first to walk towards the door.

Then, he was caught back by Jiang Baimian.

"Wait first." Jiang Baimian said angrily, "Xiaobai and I have to put on makeup first, no, make a disguise."

Of course, they don't put on makeup to make themselves look better and more glamorous, but to make themselves look ordinary and less eye-catching.

Bai Chen shook her head:

"I don't have to."

She had lived in the "Original City", and she knew that a gray earthen woman like herself, who was born as a wanderer in the wilderness, was a relatively common type.

Jiang Baimian looked at her, smiled and said:

"Do you want to be recognized at a glance?"

Bai Chen was silent for a few seconds, then nodded.

"Me too!" Shang Jianyao followed suit.

Jiang Baimian glanced at him, but ignored him.

She knew that if she refuted it, Shang Jianyao would definitely come up with a theoretical response of "boys should protect themselves when they go out", or give a strange "reason" from another angle.

They settled these things quickly and found a restaurant at random in the Green Olive District in a place called Rabe Street.

The name of the restaurant is very plain, called "Aksen", which is an ancient name for a region in the Red River Valley.

It is said that among those who established the "Original City", those from Akson occupy the mainstream.

The boss worked part-time as a waiter, wearing a linen shirt, with a relatively burly figure and strong arms.

He looks about 40 years old, black hair and blue eyes.

"Is there a menu?" Jiang Baimian scanned around and asked.

The boss shook his head:

"This is not in the red giant wolf area.

"Today only beet soup, black bread, pork sausages and potatoes."

He only mentioned potatoes, not the specific dish, because there are several ways to do it.

"All come." Shang Jian Yao made a choice with a serious expression.

When Jiang Baimian touched his already shy pockets, Bai Chen asked the price clearly: a full meal would almost empty the rest of the group's Ole.

Tomorrow, I have to earn money seriously. Uh, I need to get a sum of money from the company's intelligence agent first... Jiang Baimian sat down and began to order food.

During this process, Long Yuehong asked again without giving up:

"Is there no fresh meat?"

"I can only get a little bit of it every day, and it's sold out by noon." The restaurant owner explained simply, "This is not in the Red Giant Wolf District."

Since the beet soup was already prepared and prepared, the pork sausages only needed a little work, and only the mashed potatoes required some work, the "Old Tune Group" had dinner in no time.

At this time, the sky was not yet completely dark, and the sun was still hanging on the horizon, swaying the afterglow.

"This mixed beet soup feels a bit strange." Long Yuehong picked up the spoon and took a mouthful of the soup first.

This is not the same as the eating habits inside the "Pangaea", thick and sweet.

Shang Jianyao didn't agree with him, and concentrated on dealing with the sliced ​​pork sausage.

While none of this is particularly tasty, it's still pretty good for the carbon-based four of the "Old Tune Squad" tired of canned food, crackers and energy bars.

While they were feasting, there was a burst of sound from a distance:

"We want land!"

"We're going to work!"

"We want to live!"

Long Yuehong turned her body curiously, and cast her gaze outside the restaurant.

Not long after, a mighty group of people passed by on the street, some holding wooden signs, some pulling paper, on which were written "We want land", "We want to work", "We want to live" and so on in Honghe language. content.

These people are typical Honghe people, with blond hair, chestnut hair, blue eyes, or green eyes.

Their shirts and coats are very old, but they are still clean with starch, and their faces are more or less disheveled.

"What are these people doing?" Long Yuehong asked in a daze.

Seems to be asking for something?

Because there were only guests at their table in the Akson restaurant, the burly owner answered his question casually:

"Those people are marching."

"Parade?" Jiang Baimian had only read this word in books.

The original city was indeed different.

"Parade?" Shang Jianyao seemed to think this was a very interesting thing.

The restaurant owner said with a little disdain:

"These are the descendants of those old citizens. They didn't work hard, lost the farmland outside the city, and didn't want to work in the western suburbs. They only wanted to let the Senate start a war, or go to the wasteland to build new settlements, so that They get land, or they get public office."

There was a big problem with the layout of the city at the beginning. The factory area was actually on the west side of the upper reaches of the Red River, so that the waste water flowed through the city.

This also has its practical factors-in the beginning, the east and north of the city were full of heavily polluted and deformed creatures, and it was impossible to build factories, while there were a lot of fertile farmland in the southeast and south.

At the same time, affected by the destruction of the old world, the local climate is slightly chaotic, and the wind direction is from east to west all the year round. The Golden Apple District in the southeast of the city and other places rely on the water source of the Taiwei River, a tributary of the Red River, so the layout has continued in this way. .

After listening to the restaurant owner's answer, Long Yuehong suddenly realized:

"I'm lazy and don't want to suffer..."

At this time, Shang Jianyao asked doubtfully:

"Why do so many people lose their fields because they don't work hard at the same time?"

After they said so many words, the parade had not yet come to an end.

The restaurant owner was silent for a moment and said:

"With so many citizens, there will always be parts that are lazy and don't work hard."

Jiang Baimian winked at Shang Jianyao and told him not to ask any more.

To silence the guy, she forked a few slices of pork sausage onto his plate.

Long Yuehong glanced left and right, and finally decided to concentrate on eating.

The voices of "we want land" and "we want work" gradually faded away, as if entering the red giant wolf area.

Maybe they were all hungry, but it didn't take long for the "Old Tune Group" to finish dinner like a storm.
