Chapter 92: Kyoto
Even in the Xiaoice Age, which is said to have frozen the world and interrupted the progress of civilization, Kyoto was not buried by deep ice and snow as usual. From a distance, even the most eye-catching supernatural people can't be sure whether under the vast expanse of snow white and icicles is a human city or a primeval forest with strange peaks.
As soon as the morning dawned, the ice and snow earth was already glowing with clear fluorescence, bright to the extreme, and cruelly beautiful.
Hua Junpeng shook the body that seemed to be a clumsy bear wrapped in cotton clothes, no matter how tightly he wrapped it, he couldn't stop the cold that was to be engraved into his bones. Therefore, he must hurry to work, unclog the frozen pipes, and if he is fined a bonus, his life will be even more embarrassing this month. Although he is now eating a big pot of rice, he has not yet let go of the petty bourgeoisie of the local residents of Kyoto in the past, and it would be a shame to be reduced to just trying to make a living like those foreign hillbillies.
Hua Junpeng is a native of old Kyoto, and one of his distant relatives has a lot of power in the public service, so he got a cleaning job outside the academy at a young age. The salary is not low, the house of the ancestors is not small, the parents have a pension, and he is only in his twenties. Who knows, providence has made people, just recovered from the catastrophe, and caught up with such ghost weather, and now it has blocked all the sewage pipes that no one had to worry about before. Okay, his position used to be really idle, at most one establishment, and now he doesn't even have a helper.
When you are done with today's business, hurry up and report it, thinking that he has provided more employment opportunities for those poor outsiders. Many envoys call the younger brother, and that sense of superiority returns.
Fantasy and Spiritual Victory can indeed burn human adrenaline, and Hua Junpeng finally felt that he was not so cold. Walking through the road cleared by the snow plow, or flattening the road that the snow walked out, and then bypassing a few snowdrifts, Hua Junpeng checked the position again, and then picked up the small snow digger, aimed at the foot, the rumbling motor sounded, raising a hazy snow fog.
Luckily, the snow stopped. The wind is also not strong. Hua Junpeng found that he had a problem with the operation, spit out a few mouthfuls of snowflakes, scolded a few words casually, and changed the angle of labor-saving. Get out of the way. The machine qƬ continues to work.
It's only half an hour smaller. The sound made by the machine has changed. Hua Junpeng feels that he is really a good employee of Huaxia, although he is a peripheral cleaner, he knows the environment of the entire Academy of Sciences well. Look at the present. How accurate is it to find the location of the sewage pipe? How can he know the right location before he looks at it? Of course, it is because most of the garbage of the Academy of Sciences is chemicals, and after the weather changes, plus the residue of some biochemical tests, these things are somewhat different from the domestic garbage of residents, and they are prone to chemical reactions and high heat. In the summer, the place where the sewage is discharged is the most hot and smelly, and in the winter, it is also the warmest place.
As for how such a pipe is still frozen, it is also unlucky to drink cold water and stuff your teeth, I don't know what kind of reputation those research maniacs have made, anyway, they are clamoring for someone to clean it up. Well, he doesn't have enough education, so he can only be obedient.
Hua Junpeng waited calmly for a while, and estimated that it was almost over, so he stepped forward and closed the machine, planning to see if he was ready to remove the exhaust cover.
Suddenly, a burst of water vapor rose from the side of the big pit dug by Hua Junpeng, and before he could react, the red fire dragon erupted from the snow, and the exploding snowflakes crushed Hua Junpeng to the ground, and he couldn't even exclaim.
"Hey, it's cold!" A delicate female voice came from afar.
Hua Junpeng's paste-like brain finally eased up from the frightened conjectures such as "biochemical explosion" and "monster", wiped the snow off his face, and looked at the place where the sound came from.
I saw that in the snow cave that was blown open, the first thing that came out was a green vine, and when it came into contact with the snow at the entrance of the cave, it plunged into the ice and snow at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a few more minutes, a strong man in a thick coat emerged from the cave grabbing vines.
Black Carbon took a deep breath of the cold and fresh air and nodded with satisfaction. The underground cavern was warm enough, but the air was really strange, except for the foul smell of the polluted underground river water, and the excrement of those strange and dark creatures, it was not a place for people to stay at all.
He looked around, probably too early, icy and snowy, and a stupid guy was clubbed in front of him. A whistle came out of his mouth, and he received a response from the cave, and he walked over to the only living mouth.
When Hua Junpeng was picked up, he saw that in addition to the first big man, one person after another came out of the snow cave, almost more than 20 people, all dressed warmly, but the style was really hurtful to the eyes, even the strong and strong spirit could not make people ignore this visual dissonance. What baffles him the most is why they have girls who let men wear neutral clothes, but women wear men's clothes.
Probably because Hua Junpeng's disconnection was too obvious, Hei Tan found that the person in his hand was not scared stupid, but a little fugue, and the good mood of seeing the sun made him amused, and he asked unconsciously: "Not afraid?" ā
"What's so scary about that?" This kind of deranged aesthetics, the momentum is gone, okay? Hua Junpeng blurted out the first half of the sentence, but fortunately, the cold air was enough, so that he reacted in time, and the last two sentences were blocked back in his throat. This is not the usual chatting and fart, no matter how aesthetically confused, the person in front of him is also a strong group of people with abilities.
But he didn't say it, it doesn't mean that people like black charcoal have guessed the meaning somewhat, he looked back at the warm equipment that his companions grabbed at random, and he didn't know why the clothes that fit were with some femininity, and it was really funny, it was obviously a famous brand, and it was actually a pseudo-mother's clothes, how to match it was very strange, what happened to the current aesthetics?
Maybe it was this strange love that made Hua Junpeng confirm that there were people in front of him, and he was a person with no clear malice, and he quickly relaxed. Even if he was called by the poisonous wolf and looked for a place to rest and question, he felt that it was compared to facing monsters when the sky changed. There's nothing to be afraid of, just know the times.
Hua Junpeng is looking for a relatively remote storage house of the Academy of Sciences, which is usually used to store large equipment, although there are few people coming, but in order to maintain the equipment, the air conditioning and heating in it have not been broken, which can be said to be a natural good "hospitality". Don't look at him as a proper Beijing dick, he is also a person who has watched spy movies and various magical web novels, and his mind is smart. He doesn't have any great talent, but he has a lot of affection for people. Otherwise, you won't be able to mix it with easy work with oil and water. The group of people in front of me is quite powerful. But it's clear that there are some special channels of defectors. A local snake like himself is the best partner to work with. Look at the fact that their supernatural ones can release that kind of sensational fire dragon, and hug their thighs in time.
So the whole process of "compulsory counseling" is extremely smooth.
"Name?"
"Hua Junpeng, cleaning of the Academy of Sciences. Twenty-seven years old. Unmarried. No bad habits, good at inquiring about news, locals. There are relatives with acquaintances in houses and institutions. ā
āā¦ā¦ Ahem, what about Kyoto? "I almost thought I was hiring.
Unexpectedly, Hua Junpeng really glanced at He Xichen in front of him with some resentment, why can't you see the dog-legged temperament on me, the little brother is willing to follow you, there is strength, there are girls, there are not many such good units now, join as soon as possible, and the salary of the new recruit is enough.
"Kyoto now has an official population of 15 million, and more than 10 million have poured in after the weather changes, so there is a special reception center to enter the Kyoto safe zone. The reception process includes physical examination and registration, in addition to seeing if they are infected with a serious disease, that is, filtering out the supernatural. Exceptions can enter special units, have combat obligations, and enjoy a living allowance. Ordinary people can participate in the production sector according to the situation, as long as there is labor, there are collective dormitories and canteen meals, and special physical labor and the army, there are additional subsidies. ā
He Xichen was really impressed. It's not that he is deliberately embarrassed, and the general question is just a temptation, he is trying to encourage the people in front of him to say how much or how much, and the analysis of the situation naturally has his own, but he didn't expect that the young man in front of him, who is obviously mixed in Kyoto, has some overall view, and the things are all on the point, although because the level is not enough, he did not tell the distribution of power in Kyoto, this simple introduction is enough for normal people to intuitively understand the situation.
He Xiaowan and He Xiaokun, who had been silent, did not speak, and did not express dissatisfaction with the obvious cross-examination of the poisonous wolf and others, so that the poisonous wolf who had left a little attention to her glanced at this little girl. The little girl from the big family is indeed not to be underestimated, no matter whether the reason she said that she was killed is true or not, now this attitude is at least a smart person who can talk about cooperation well, the He family, the current intelligence is not enough, I don't know what the situation is, but the background of the top family is enough, no matter how bad it is, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.
"We're coming out of an underground cavern, can we go through the normal hospitality process?" He Xichen then asked, this question can be called difficult.
Hua Junpeng paused for a moment, but did not notice the other party's scrutinizing gaze, and thought seriously for a moment, then raised his head and said: "If you don't care about this road being exposed, there will definitely be no problem to report normally, because they will definitely investigate, and it is possible to plug this hole, or they may take over." If you want to keep this as your hole card, try going over the wall and going outside, and then pretend to be from afar. The latter is more troublesome at first, but it will be more reliable and there will be fewer problems in the future. As he spoke, he also looked back at the location of the hole, and the sewage outlet was a natural hole? Are the infrastructure people so messy?
"Shall we go over the wall?" He Xichen raised his eyebrows, his eyes were full of interest, he hadn't dealt with ordinary people for a long time, and he almost forgot the feeling of encountering the hidden dragon and crouching tiger, first Qingdai, and then Hua Junpeng in front of him, tsk, there must be more and more fun in the future.
Hua Junpeng listened to it in his ears, his heart jumped, and he felt the momentum unconsciously released by the person in front of him, which was contempt and freedom for life, which made people fearful, but yearning. Gritting his teeth, he said: "I don't mean to lie to you, if, if you want, I can take you there, I am very familiar with Kyoto, the locals are not joking, and my body is not very good, it is not easy to run away." ā
The poisonous wolf smiled, Yu He Xichen glanced at each other, then looked at He Xiaowan and He Xiaokun, who were completely obedient, and said, "Then I'll trouble you." ā
Two hours later, the sun rose, and many people began to appear in Kyoto's road-like area. No matter how bad the situation is, the operation of the city cannot be stopped, especially now that Kyoto is a place of great faith, the population is almost as good as before the natural change, and the congestion has not changed, and the biggest trouble is that there are not so many means of transportation, and most people work and stay nearby.
The continuous influx of people from other places also made passers-by pay no attention to other people, and when Hua Junpeng took the poisonous wolf Qingdai who had slightly modified his clothes, he was very smoothly mixed in the flow of people, and walked to the reception area, also known as the building of the safety zone filter.
Hua Junpeng walked in front as if he had nothing to do, but his mouth seemed to be chatting with an explanation: "This is the biggest checkpoint, and there are also other directions, but this one is facing south, with the largest number of people and the best management, unlike other places where there is chaos, it is more suitable for foreign populations without special circumstances." I built yƬ is also for you to take this entrance. ā
Qing Dai and a few people also looked curiously, the weather was bad, and people had to look for big cities to get a chance to survive, so in such a cold and snowy place, the waiting area for outsiders who went one after another was still crowded.
Hua Junpeng signaled, and continued to walk forward with everyone.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Qing Dai looked at a white dragon that gradually appeared in sight, compared to those houses that were still exposed outside the snow, the long dragon also had a height of more than 80 meters, and there was no tail in sight, and the boundless extension reminded people of the Great Wall on behalf of China.
Hua Junpeng said at the right time: "That is the city wall of the security zone, which began to be built after the sky changed, with a height of nearly 100 meters, covering basically the entire urban area of Kyoto, and it is said that the internal structure is top-notch technology, which can not only sense the situation in the outside world, but also launch counterattacks." ā
Qing Dai nodded, according to her perception, Hua Junpeng did not have too much exaggeration, the modern city wall will naturally not be solid, and the steel mechanism inside is fused with too many wisdom crystals, I am afraid that it is not a zombie, even if you come to the zombie animal tide in City C, plus mutant animals, you may not be able to break through such a fortress.
So, with such a tight wall surveillance, can they really sneak out of the city?
Thinking like this, Hua Junpeng stopped, raised his hand and pointed to a place, and said with some pride: "The house in front, because it is a product of a special era, was not pushed off during the construction of the city wall, and it was also lost later, although it has been unused, it has been retained." The magic of this place lies in the fact that it just blocks part of the surveillance cameras, and climbs the city wall from its back, as long as it does not hurt the city wall itself, there is no possibility of being discovered. And the surveillance will be able to see everything around the house. After the above people studied it, they thought that the prevention was to come in, and there would be no out, so this is a small loophole that our locals all know, and it can go out, but it can't be used in it. ā
After Hua Junpeng finished speaking, he was very proud of his news, and glanced at the poisonous wolf and the others a little forgetfully, but he was frightened by the cold gaze. He looked at these people's well-behaved expressions along the way, and completely forgot about their danger and fear, but fortunately did not anger anyone.
The poisonous wolf didn't doubt Hua Junpeng's intentions, he thought that he could still be sure that he would be able to retreat under the current situation. The cold eyes were actually serious, and they forgot about the gentle disguise. Discovering the tight security of Kyoto and such a peculiar blind spot, the mercenary's habit came to him, and he began to reassess the value of the underground cavern and the path out of the city.
Although Qingdai and the others were a little eager to try, they all knew very well that the person with the most power and ability to speak now was the poisonous wolf, so they silently waited for the other party's order.
At this time, a voice popped up behind everyone: "Hey! What do you do? (To be continued......)
