Chapter 30: City No. 40

City 40 does not have the youthful vitality of City 4, nor does it have the simplicity of City 13. As soon as Wu Yu entered City 40, he felt a kind of commercial atmosphere lingering.

The streets and alleys are full of shops of all kinds, and generally speaking, the outskirts of the city are rarely inhabited, and most of them are garrisoned here to guard against threats from outside the city.

But City 40 is different, Wu Yu has discovered the special here since he even got started.

Wu Yu has been to two cities, but even a large modern city like City 4 may not have such a huge flow of people as City 40.

Before entering the city, Wu Yu had already watched the busy trucks and pedestrians lining up outside the city to enter the city.

In other cities, going out of the city is a word that is closely tied to death. And here, it's like a very common thing, like eating and drinking...... Wu Yu even saw that several groups of people were ready to start camping outside......

"You guys here...... Are the folk customs so simple?" Wu Yu was really stunned.

Li Ruiyao couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Wu Yu's appearance.

Hmph, so you have times when you are dumbfounded!

"Due to the geographical relationship on our side, the closest to the xenomorph gathering place is separated by two cities, so there is not much security threat. And there are not too many mutant creatures around, compared to other cities, the mutated creatures on our side are already pitiful. ”

"Then it's not just outside the city to lay the floor!" Wu Yu pointed to a group of people who had already lit a fire and laid out blankets not far away, maybe four or five hundred meters away from the city gate...... It's like I'm going to spend the night outside the city gates!

"What's the matter? I don't need money for the powder and purifier, and I have a mine at home?" Wu Yu pouted, he had never seen such arrogance.

"Because there are often merchants in and out of City 40, and goods need to be transported frequently, in order to ensure the circulation of transactions and goods, the purification and breathing devices of City 40 are not only in the city, but also outside the city within two kilometers in diameter. ”

"This is also to avoid, because there are too many goods, it is too late to transport from the city, or it is already inconvenient to travel in the middle of the night after transportation. After the expansion of the coverage, some merchants can transport all their goods outside the city in advance, rest and adjust before setting off for delivery. Li Ruiyao explained.

Wu Yu realized that he once thought that the purification and breath elimination devices in the city could only work in the city, but he didn't expect that it could extend the coverage.

"If it can spread out, why don't other cities do it, so that people can also ensure a certain amount of safety outside the city. ”

Li Ruiyao immediately shook her head, "First of all, if this kind of device wants to increase the diffusion range, it needs an amplifier, and the amplifier is only to increase the outer diameter by two kilometers like City 40, and the price required is astronomical. Many small towns simply can't afford it. ”

"And some big cities simply don't have the volume of goods in circulation like City 40. Setting up such a thing is neither good nor a waste of money. ”

I see.

Li Ruiyao, as the daughter of the Li Group, naturally had a special passage to enter City 40, and the two did not follow the team to queue up outside the city.

After entering the city, Li Ruiyao took out two masks from her bag, one handed to Wu Yu, and the other put on herself.

This is to cover up his identity, the current situation of the Li group is very dangerous, if it is found that the daughter of the Li family is wandering around the street, it is likely to bring some unnecessary trouble.

The prosperity of Castle 40 is completely different from Castle 4, and compared to Castle 4, where there are many skyscrapers, people are only running about their own lives, and there is a little indifference to Castle 4. The prosperity of City 40 is obviously a little more incense.

As soon as he entered the city, Wu Yu was stunned by the excitement in front of him. Large and small semi-open tents are neatly supported on the ground, and the goods are dazzling. Some don't even have tents, just a piece of cloth spread on the ground, filled with all kinds of strange knick-knacks.

The streets were jammed with people, and the clamor of hawkers was heard everywhere.

Wu Yu's eyes widened, and he quickly scanned the things around him that he had never seen before. Wu Yu's heart has long been filled with curiosity and excitement.

It was the first time for Li Ruiyao to see Wu Yu like this, just like a child, curious about everything unknown, and a little cautious.

It's not the freak who can fly the black tiger with his bare hands as an ordinary person in the Warrior Academy.

Li Ruiyao gently pulled Wu Yu's sleeve.

"Whatever you like, I'll buy it for you. Li Ruiyao's smile is like a newly blooming gardenia, her already beautiful face, coupled with the half-covered mask, adds a bit of mystery to this newly blooming gardenia.

Wu Yu scratched his head a little embarrassedly, he seemed to be a little out of shape just now.

This is not to blame Wu Yu, even if he is already an eighteen-year-old boy, but a month ago, he was just an ordinary person who grew up in a small city like City 13. There is no modern technology, no special food, and no good milk tea.

All the novelties he learned about were through reading. Whether it's knowledge, it's the world.

Just when Wu Yu had just seen these things that he had never seen before, the first thought in Wu Yu's mind at that time was to bring some back to the mayor and the little fat man.

People are like this, and there are some people that you may not always think about in your heart, and you will not often talk about them. However, when you are wandering in a foreign land, you always want to share the new things you have discovered with the other person, as if this will allow the other person to temporarily join you in this undulating and lonely life.

Wu Yu pulled Li Ruiyao and quickly walked through the night market street. Didn't buy anything. His top priority now is to quickly finish the task on Li Ruiyao's side, and then hurry back to the Warrior Academy to receive special training from Han Liangshi.

There is only one and a half months left before the mob eradication plan, and if he doesn't hurry up, maybe City 88 will be his burial ground. Sentimentality, at least wait until you can survive smoothly! Your parents are still waiting for you in Longtan Tiger's Den!

And it's not a safe place!

Speaking of which, Wu Yu just knew that the task was to protect Li Ruiyao, and he was still confused about what the situation of this mission was. I should have asked in the car before, but I was busy drinking milk tea......

Outside the city, because it was inconvenient for others to ask, Wu Yu has been delaying until now.

"By the way, you haven't told me why you should protect you. What are the causes and consequences of this mission?" Wu Yu said to Li Ruiyao. Only by understanding the cause of the task can we know how to solve it. Otherwise, is it really just a matter of protection, to kill one by one? to kill a pair of pairs? really what Wu Yu is, Batman?

"I don't know the specifics, I have to go and see my dad, and he will tell you. Li Ruiyao was also very confused.

"Don't you even know who the enemy is?" Wu Yu was a little helpless.

Li Ruiyao suddenly retracted her voice and said in a volume that was almost only audible to Wu Yu and her.

"Have you ever heard of the cloud?"

"Ah, cloud, I remember that Shen Heng used a mobile phone software called BaiD Cloud before, which seems to mention the word "cloud", it seems to be a software used to watch videos, Shen Heng always complained to me that there was an eight-second Jedi ......."

"......" Li Ruiyao's face was full of black lines.

"I'm talking about an organization, called Cloud!" Li Ruiyao was annoyed.

Wu Yu shook his head, he hadn't heard of it.

"This is a killer organization that still exists in the sphere of human activity today. Nowadays, human beings are basically limited to land warfare because they are restricted. Its name "cloud" means that it is intended to be above all human beings and to become an existence beyond the clouds. ”

"This organization is arguably the most mysterious and powerful organization in the world. It is said that there are also S-class arbiters inside. Every killer in this organization has extremely high killing skills, and the mission success rate is extremely high. ”

Someone even said, "When your name appears on the hunting list in the clouds, Hades is already sending someone to pick you up." ””

"This organization has been around for nearly five hundred years, and its history even predates the xenomorph invasion!"

"To date, countless A-level arbiters have died under their hands. There have even been B-level killers who crossed the ranks to kill A-level powerhouses. ”

"There, as long as the money is enough, you can kill whoever you want! As long as the money is in place, you can even declare that you will deprive the S-class arbiter of his life. ”

Wu Yu's mouth was open, and Li Ruiyao thought he was shocked.

There was silence for a few seconds before Wu Yu muttered.

"Kill...... If they can't kill it, will they return the money?"

......

Li Ruiyao scolded secretly in her heart, she was really a stupid pig, why did she think that such a heartless guy would worry about the strength of the enemy.

It's not that Wu Yu's heart is really so big, it's just that Wu Yu simply feels that if they were really so powerful and there are no false examples, then he should have known Li Ruiyao's black and white photos from the newspaper a long time ago. Instead of having the leisure to hang around with her here.

And I heard Li Ruiyao say that his father is also an ordinary person, and since he can still live a good life now, it means that this organization has not yet reached the point where it can reach the sky. At least you have to have some scruples, don't dare to send a master, otherwise, just call an S-level arbiter over, and killing people is like killing a little chick.

Li Ruiyao didn't want to pay attention to this guy whose mind was full of strange thoughts, and walked fast all the way.

However, for Wu Yu, Li Ruiyao is a little stronger than ordinary people, and the speed is really not good. Even Wu Yu wanted to urge her to hurry up.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Ruiyao had already started to walk a little out of breath and sweating profusely, he might really be cheap.

Along the way, Wu Yu noticed that many buildings were marked with the words Li Shi Group, and there were even shopping malls named after Li Shi Group......

How rich is this...... No wonder this little girl spends money like tearing paper, and she is not distressed at all.

However, Wu Yu also secretly admired, just looking at the scale of City 40, you can know that the business here is developed enough, and it can even be said that it is the most developed area in the human world. On the other hand, it is far more difficult to gain a foothold here than in other cities.

Even, some of the city's so-called business tycoons are one thing whether they can get ahead or not when they come here. Maybe he grabbed a random vendor from a stall, and his business acumen surpassed that of the commercial overlords of those small areas.

The bigger the market, the greater the relative competitiveness, even in the No. 4 city is not too much milk tea shop, here Wu Yu can almost walk ten steps to see one, you can imagine how fierce the competition is.

Being able to get ahead in such a place, and even become an almost top-notch existence here, the image of Li Ruiyao's father became tall in Wu Yu's heart in an instant.

Unexpectedly, Li Ruiyao did not take Wu Yu to the kind of giant building standing in the center of the city that Wu Yu imagined, which is the most arrogant and eye-catching building, which makes people see at a glance that people are superior to others.

In this way, it is in line with the image of the big money.

Instead, he took Wu Yu to a relatively remote outskirts of the city, and spared a few small roads and mountain roads. Finally stopped in front of a small bungalow.

This house looks no different from the house where Wu Yu lives, but it is a little bigger, but it doesn't look like a place where rich people live.

After all, it's hard to go from luxury to frugality!

Li Ruiyao rang the doorbell, and after a while, an old man in a housekeeper's uniform came to open the door.

Wow! I know!

Wu Yu secretly said in his heart that he guessed correctly, even if he lived in this kind of place, he still couldn't change the habit of living in luxury.

Even in this kind of small place, the housekeeper has arranged it.

Seeing the old man housekeeper come to open the door, Li Ruiyao took off her mask and said with a smile: "Uncle Liang!

Uncle Liang?!Wu Yu's eyelids jumped, do you call the person in front of you who looks like he is in his early seventies Uncle ......? Could it be that the lady next to him should be called Aunt ......?

As soon as he saw that it was Li Ruiyao, the old housekeeper's face full of ravines smiled, and he pulled Li Ruiyao to the house, although he was dressed like a housekeeper, he did not show the etiquette of a housekeeper at all, and he seemed to be very close to Li Ruiyao.

I don't know if it was intentional or because I was too happy to see Li Ruiyao, Wu Yu was left out of the door alone.

But soon Wu Yu knew that it was deliberate! The old housekeeper, who originally looked kind and kind, the moment Wu Yu stepped into the door, Wu Yu felt the murderous aura in his body tremble that he had not captured!

Then an overwhelming sense of oppression came from the old butler!

What an old butler, A-grade...... No, even half a step is already an S-level arbiter! The sense of oppression is already approaching the power that Yang Zhumin brings to him!

The old housekeeper who pulled Li Ruiyao into the room turned his head sideways to look at Wu Yu at this time. The eyes are gloomy.

Wu Yu had seen this kind of look, and the last time he mentioned Yang Yue to Yang Zhumin in the ward, he also had this kind of look......
