Chapter 5 is Wanted

In the southwest of Noah, there is an area where the buildings are very unique. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info they are no more than three stories high, but the foundation is unusually deep.

These low-rise buildings are arranged in a haphazard manner along a long, curved strip of cracks.

They were built by Noah's government, and the style and structure are very simple, the only special feature is that the chassis of the building has a compound load-bearing chassis with sliding shafts to cushion the impact of vibration.

Because earthquakes happen here every day.

The impact of the earthquake was extremely small and limited to the southwest region of Noah. Once far enough away from the source, the aftermath of the earthquake will be suppressed by Noah's core of the earth.

The source of the earthquake, the culprit behind this harsh geography, was a large fissure that ran from the south to the west of Noah.

This fissure, which is several kilometers long, is five meters wide at its widest point and less than half a meter at its narrowest point.

On both sides of the crack, the government not only built a barrier to prevent citizens from approaching, but also set up various monitoring and defense machinery to prevent others from using the crack to enter and exit Noah City.

The entire people of the New Apocalypse knew that as long as they entered this crack and descended more than a thousand meters, they could follow the underground river to the stratum space outside the city and enter the underground transportation road.

The geological environment here is not suitable for the construction of warehouses and factories, let alone high-tech industries. So much so that although Noah is known as a large underground factory, there is no trace of industry in this area.

In order to maintain the economic development of the region, many industries that cannot be moved to the table are flourishing here. For the sake of the livelihood of the residents, the government has turned a blind eye to this.

This is the gray area with the most lax jurisdiction, and it is also the entrance for Yuan to leave Noah happily.

The thick curtain was automatically lifted when sensing the presence of the guests, and the heavy polymer plastic curtain a few steps away was rolled up, and the last beautifully carved bamboo door slowly opened to both sides.

Yuan happily stepped through the three doors, stepped on the crimson wooden floor, and walked to the front desk. She took off her hat and sunglasses and tapped the table twice with her knuckles.

"I'm going to take a shower." After speaking, there were three more taps.

At the front desk was a somewhat chubby girl, who was playing a handheld game, and did not look up, her voice was lukewarm.

"Take a bath and pay for it first, in cash, in full."

Yuan happily took out a stack of money and put it on the table and pushed it over.

The fat girl picked up the money, and then looked up.

She took a closer look at Yuan Xinran, and then began to count the coins.

It is a hot spring inn that has been around for some years, and the second and third floors of the building are used for accommodation, and the lower floor is used for bathing business.

Affected by the earthquake, the water supply system of the residents here often failed, and the water supply was cut off at every three days, and residents who wanted to take a comfortable bath had to pay for the purchase and sale of their own water reservoirs. Therefore, at least one of the ten shops on one street is related to the bath industry.

This hot spring hotel with simple decoration and bathing service is not very special here, the decoration and price are not attractive, and it is now the time for dinner, and there is only one guest in the store at this time.

The fat girl at the front desk finished counting the money, looked up and glanced at Yuan Xinran again.

"There are three types of baths, magma, red soup, and mud, please choose one."

"Stone stalactites, seventy percent water, no ginger soup."

"Wait a minute."

The female receptionist took out an ordinary key from the counter and handed it to Yuan Xinran.

"The herbs for bathing are ready."

Yuan Xinran nodded, this code word means going to the trading room, and there are no guests in front of her who need her to wait.

She accepted the key and walked through the front desk to the inside.

After the fat girl saw Yuan Xinran walking away, she muttered to herself, "I really want to have a lot of money, but I really don't want to work." ”

Yuan happily went down a small staircase into the basement floor, found a compartment, went down another staircase, turned a few corners, and walked to an ordinary cubicle.

She checked the key engraving and the door number pattern, made sure it was this one, and opened the door.

There were already people in the room, and the trader who negotiated business with Yuan Xinran was waiting here.

Yuan Xinran was very surprised to see the people inside, what was waiting for her was not the business director who received her in the past, but a person in charge with a higher level.

A woman about forty years old, sitting at a tea table boiling tea. She was well maintained, dressed luxuriously and decently, covering up a bit of a merchant's philistine, and when she saw Yuan Xinran coming in, she bowed slightly.

"This pot of water has just boiled, we need to wait a little longer, please take a seat."

Yuan happily looked at the layout of the room, pulled the stool out a little, and sat opposite the female manager.

"Long time no see, is there anything special that requires you to come over in person?"

Yuan Xinran had very little contact with this lady, and as the business manager of the underground business of this hot spring hotel, she would only come out to discuss business with the most important customers and special events.

Yuan Xinran knew that he did not belong to the former.

The female manager washed the teacup and smiled to bring out the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

"You are still directly impressive, there are indeed some things, drink tea first, and we will talk slowly."

Yuan happily looked at the time and took out a sandwich from his bag.

"In that case, let's wait for me to have dinner first, I've been in a hurry before. Don't mind? ”

The female manager smiled, "Feel free, please." ”

Yuan happily tore open the wrapping paper and observed the female manager while chewing.

The female manager quietly and skillfully divides the tea, washes the tea, and irons the teacups.

Nothing out of the ordinary looks like.

Yuan Xinran finished dinner in a few bites and wiped his mouth with a tissue.

"By the way, in addition to borrowing this time, I also need 30 oxygen packs, and I have already paid for the money just now."

The female manager's movements of making tea did not stop, and her tone was calm, "Oxygen pack? I don't know if the inventory on my side is enough, and the recent batch of goods is not very convenient. ”

Yuan Xinran raised his eyebrows, "Your side is also affected by the control of the Logistics Association?" I thought it was going to hold up. Give me as much as you want. ”

The female manager smiled but did not answer, she made tea and gestured.

"You've just finished eating, and you're just moistening your throat. The taste of this tea is unique and beneficial for women to drink. ”

Yuan Xinran picked up the teacup with both hands, put it to his lips and moistened his lips slightly, and poured all the tea into his cuffs under the cover of his palms. The tea is instantly drained.

"I don't know much about tea, it's a waste to give me good tea, one cup is enough."

Yuan happily put down the teacup and pointed to the side cabinet in the corner of the room, "Is the oxygen bag still in the old place?" I'll get it myself. ”

The female manager poured herself another cup of tea, smiling, "You are very familiar with this place, and you know where to put things." ”

Yuan Xinran snorted, "After all, he is also an old customer." Ah, I paid for 30 oxygen packets, and I used water packets to make up for the shortages. ”

She walked over to the cabinet and opened the door.

It was full of supplies.

Yuan Xinran quickly selected the supplies, and said seemingly casually: "I don't like to go around in circles, this time you specially invited me to tea, what is the matter?" ”

After a few seconds, Yuan Xinran heard the voice of the female manager.

"Do you recognize this man?"

As the words fell, a virtual image appeared in the room.

Yuan Xinran turned around and looked up to see that the bag of clear water in his hand had almost fallen.

That person was Zhong Shang who was knocked unconscious by her and was now carrying it with her.

"I haven't seen it. He's famous here? ”

Yuan happily turned around and continued to move his hands, his face remained silent.

She had a faint sense of foreboding in her heart.

The female manager pursed her lips and smiled, as if she was talking about an ordinary little thing.

"Originally, an hour ago, this man was not famous, but now he is Noah's No. 1 most wanted criminal."

“……… Oh, that's right. ”

The three bright words "Wanted" were like three boulders, crackling and smashing on Yuan Xinran's head.

It's been a long time since I've had such shocking news.

Wanted? Or number 1?

Hehe.

Yuan shrugged his shoulders happily, as if he was not interested in the news.

"I'm so busy that I don't have time to eat, but I don't have time to worry about this. It's a pity that I don't know each other, otherwise I could have earned a bonus. There's a bounty, right. ”

The female manager didn't continue to make tea, she kept staring at Yuan Xinran.

"An urgent wanted warrant for him spread 40 minutes ago to the personal terminals of all Noah's citizens, including me. You must not have seen the news in this time. ”

Yuan Xinran maintained his composure on the surface, but secretly vigilant in his heart.

"What dangerous thing did this man do? So exciting. ”

The female manager blinked, "There are a few charges that I remember more clearly, it seems that there are murders of officials, attacks on government offices, damage to more than a dozen cyborgs, and so on." Of course, these are not the main points, the most heinous crime is that he tried to steal the core of the earth, and although he did not succeed, he destroyed the building that we protected the miracle. ”

"Ah, so, no wonder ......"

Yuan Xinran had a feeling of wanting to vomit blood.

"This man is such a despicable and shameless villain. It's a pity that I haven't met him, otherwise I would have caught him and beaten him up and handed him over to the government. ”

The female manager smiled at Yuan Xinran's words and said nothing, holding the teacup and playing left and right, without answering.

Yuan Xinran took a deep breath, stopped packing, and sat opposite the female manager again.

"If you just ask me if I have seen this person, you won't come in person, and you have other questions, just say it."

The female manager nodded, pressed the instrument, and pointed to the changing imaging.

"You know where he is, but you're not telling the truth. Someone sees you with that man. ”

A new projection image appeared in the space, this time a young woman, with a willow-eyed star temperament like jade, and a kind of atmosphere that transcends gender.

That face Yuan Xinran is very familiar with, and she sees it almost every day, it is her own face.

Yuan Xinran felt as if a row of garbled characters had been swept through his brain.

The female manager was very satisfied to see the stunned expression on Yuan Xinran's face, "You are also Noah's wanted criminal now, but you are just an accomplice, and you can't rank anything." She smiled and said, "Now I'll ask you again, do you know where that man is?" ”
