Chapter 1: The City of a Thousand Sails
Taxi tires run over pools of water on the ground, braving heavy rain and weaving between tall buildings.
Road edges on both sides...... No, there's no difference between a driveway and a sidewalk, there's just one road, barely separated by metal fences, and the left and right sides are full of pedestrians with cheap umbrellas or raincoats.
Above them are hundreds of meters tall buildings, sky corridors and higher up the city's upward tracks, and the brilliant colorful light of neon signs that can be seen at all heights scatters into the rain, and finally reflects on these people, as if the rain is colored.
And further out of these two sections, under the feet of these pedestrians, there are even more gloomy places, where even the neon lights are difficult to reach, and in the daytime, you can still only see some shadows wandering in them.
Zhu Jue left the taxi, holding an umbrella in one hand and a wind chime in the other, and the brand-name windbreaker on his body had been changed into a special product of the Yimeng before he came, and on the surface it looked like an inferior beige gray coat that could be bought at a roadside stall for more than a hundred federal dollars.
01:00PM, temperature 16Β°C.
At this time, Thousand Sails City is much colder than Dawn City.
"Our shop is just around the corner in front. β
After settling the bill, Suzi took out the luggage of the two from the trunk of the taxi, walked to Zhu Jue's side and whispered.
The Yimeng agreed to her application to participate in the mission, on the one hand, because of Zhu Jue's request, and on the other hand, Suzi herself also submitted an application, with her special status in the Yimeng, the accumulation of credit over the years made it difficult for the Yimeng high-level to refute her opinion.
The reason given by Suzi is also very straightforward, in addition to finding the intelligent race in this monster of spiritual pollution, she directly said in the application that the world is so wide that she wants to see it.
It can be said that it is quite capricious.
In order to conform to the state of the neighborhood here, she specially dyed part of her hair into lilac, and Zhu Jue was also asked to dye her hair, but he decisively refused, so he finally chose a tattoo, or a special tattoo made with the help of a scavenger that can change at any time.
A black snake with a long knife cut off in the middle!
"Our current location is in the middle and low-rise urban area of the lower city of Thousand Sails City, about the 20th to 35th floors, and the place has been purchased in advance by our local members of the Volunteer Alliance in our name, and we are going to meet with the people there to sign the contract first. β
As he spoke, the two walked through a gray metal arch built above the road, and there were lights flashing in the rain on it, Zhu Jue subconsciously looked up, and a wide black metal elevated highway was moving in a rumbling sound, splicing to a house on the other side, Suzi continued on the side,
"We're now passing through the Hue Gate, and everyone who passes through it will be detected, and if there is an anomaly, they will be locked by the local community patrol...... That's them. β
Raising his finger and pointing above his head, Zhu Jue looked up along his fingertips, and saw a black armed airship printed with the iconic big gear of Yuanfan Machinery Group, and the warning light on the top of the airboat kept flashing, and he didn't know where he was going to perform the mission.
Crossing an intersection and walking along the right side of the street, the two soon saw their shop.
A private clinic with a closed door, the faΓ§ade is not big, but it is not as small as imagined, the left and right ends are connected about 10 meters, Zhu Jue has seen the information of this private clinic on the plane before he came.
Because the original owner was running a good business and making enough money, he was ready to look to the lower urban area to move higher and replace his customers with people with higher consumption, so the store was also vacant, listed for sale and indicated that if necessary, the equipment in the clinic could be sold at a low price.
Of course, they are all "old guys" who have been used for a few years.
Zhu Jue naturally didn't care about this, after all, he didn't come to be a doctor, and the old equipment was good, which could reduce a lot of passenger flow.
Suzi contacted the seller at the door, and it didn't take long for a middle-aged man to come out of the clinic.
"Bernard, I'm the seller's agent, it's nice to meet both, I've only arrived a long time ago, and they're very punctual. β
With a bunch of keys in his hand and a suit and leather shoes, according to the process, he naturally had to introduce the entire clinic to these two customers first.
In order not to arouse suspicion, the two who had already known the situation in advance did not refuse.
The whole private clinic is divided into two floors, the second floor is the living area, two bedrooms, one living room and two bathrooms, which is nothing to say, the previous one moved away and was specially taken care of by a cleaning company, empty.
The first floor is the main body of the clinic, because it is just a general clinic, so there is no intensive care unit, only a general ward, which is rudely arranged with ten beds, in addition to a testing room for physical examination, a small operating room, a treatment room, a pharmacy, an office, etc.
Because Zhu Jue was bought in full, and the seller did not plan to pit Zhu Jue in these places, the equipment in the entire clinic was maintained at a certain level, and the medicines in the pharmacy were also available.
Walking back and forth, Zhu Jue didn't ask any more questions, and settled the balance cleanly, which was only more than half of the monthly income of the Shuojin platform, and there was no pressure on him.
When the agent left, only Zhu Jue and Suzi were left in the entire clinic.
Zhu Jue slowly made himself a cup of tea and sat in the office, holding a manual for the basic introduction of physicians in his hand, flipping through it, and waiting for Suzi behind the desk to start "performing".
"The purchase of daily necessities has been completed, the medical equipment of the whole clinic has been tested, the operation status is normal, the number of drugs has been tested, and there is no expired drug ......"
In just about ten minutes, Suzi was already in control of the clinic.
"We need staff, and we need medical documents. β
The flow of data in his eyes gradually dissipated, and Suzi looked up at Zhu Jue and said.
After testing the hardware of the clinic, there is no problem, and the rest is the "software".
Olivia said before that Zhu Jue couldn't be a doctor, and Zhu Jue knew this clearly, so he didn't plan to be in charge of the clinic alone, but was going to recruit a few doctors and nurses to help share the burden, he just needed to pretend to see some patients with the help of Suzi every day, and put on the appearance of a doctor.
After receiving Zhu Jue's signal, Suzi posted the employment information on the Internet, two doctors, three nurses, this is a reasonable number, after all, this is only a private clinic in the middle community of Xiacheng, and if you really want to get too high-end, it will cause trouble.
As for the medical documents, Zhu Jue has asked Chu Yun to entrust the federal government office to handle it, and they happen to have a certain amount of power in these departments, not to mention that applying for documents for a well-equipped clinic is one of the few jobs they have.
Of course, they are only responsible for the middle and lower class clinics in the lower city, and as for the big hospitals, it is not their turn.
By the time the clinic had a preliminary plan for all aspects of the clinic, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, because they had to wait for the daily necessities to be delivered to the door, and the two of them couldn't leave.
Then it's time to get down to business.
Suzi turned on the audio-visual stick, and after connecting to the Internet, opened the street map of their location.
The entire Thousand Sails City is a three-dimensional city, and the streets are no longer limited to the plane, and the situation of staggering up and down is more common.
Take Dawning City as an example, although there are quite a few high-rise buildings in its urban structure, there are not many aerial corridors, and more aerial suspended tracks are used as means of transportation, and in the city center, even these aerial suspended tracks are abandoned.
This is because the top floors of the high-rise buildings in Dawning City often belong to the middle class and the upper class, who travel by empty boats, and the construction of these horizontal corridors will only spoil the aesthetics of the building, which is the kind of architecture in the deep port area of Heywood.
Due to the existence of the city, there are a large number of poor people living in the middle and bottom communities of the lower city, and the height of the buildings is generally very exaggerated.
The cost of building such a high-altitude street is not a joke, so instead of taking great pains to build such a thankless high-altitude street, it is better to change it to a small area of up and down circulation roads, in addition, there are also movable streets installed in some locations, which are probably a bit like the corridors in Harry Potter, except that the latter is magic, and the former is pure technology.
As for going to the farther urban area, you have to take an empty boat or some public transportation, and in the entire Thousand Sails City, you can see the air railway around the city built by the Wu family everywhere.
There are pros and cons to these buildings and vehicles, and no one can say why, but this situation makes the entire street network very complicated, and the slightest mistake can be disoriented, so it is natural to communicate some things in advance in order to take the next action.
And the first priority of the two at the moment is naturally to find out the driver named Sean who appeared in the killing game.
"In order to cooperate with the investigation, our clinic is located as close as possible to the street where the parade took place three years ago, this is Parrot Street, which belongs to the 26th neighborhood, and the place where Sean appeared at the parade is in the nearby No. 32 neighborhood, given the state of the city's community, I have reason to believe that Sean must have lived in this neighborhood three years ago, and there must have been people who knew him in the march. β
In the past three years, the circulation of the residents of Qianfan City is extremely low, as long as you follow the video of the parade, you will definitely be able to find other people who participated in the parade at that time, and the first part of Suzi's plan is ready to start here.
"I'm going to start the operation in three days, you go to the reporter who covered the Sean incident, and I'll go to the patrol of Community 11 to find out the residents. β
Why three days later?
The two who have just moved here will definitely have to focus on running a private practice...... At the very least, they have to think that their energy is in this area, rather than leaving the clinic alone and looking around for information.
"Also, I didn't have the convenience to ask on the plane before, did you find any new information about the Ouroboros logo on that box?"
In addition to Sean, Zhu Jue has other things to care about.
