Chapter 31 C13
"Arriving at the C13 site...... Light to moderate rain, temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, slippery ground with thin ice, please pay attention to travel safety......"
There is a small gray screen hanging from the roof in the middle of the bus, and there is no virtual projection or a beautiful weather forecaster, just a series of pale green data and cold and hard voices.
Zhu Jue, who came back from Songmu Mountain, stayed in Yecheng for another two days before embarking on a journey to shoot the next video, as for the things in the ruins, some of them have been transported back to Yecheng by Auguste, saying that they will carry out restoration work in Yecheng first, and wait for the follow-up excavation results of the ruins by the way.
Whoop~purr~
The wind chime leaned into Zhu Jue's arms, holding a baby bottle in his mouth and sucking it in his two paws, making some comfortable snoring sounds from time to time.
Zhu Jue's position was leaning against the window on the right, wearing a long gray-brown trench coat, a black bowler hat also made of leather, and a pair of leather boots with a short heel of 1 cm on his feet.
This set is the latest model of the Qili brand, dedicated to outdoor travel, or tailored to Zhu Jue's figure, and it is very comfortable to wear.
Changing into this outfit is not because Zhu Jue suddenly began to care about his image, but because of the long-term rainfall, the environment is humid, and the ground is slippery.
Now the long trench coat is completely waterproof, even if you wear it to walk in the rain, you can walk without any problem, and the edge of the hat on the top of the head is designed to be wider than the normal sun hat, and the rain will automatically slide down the sides and fall on the clothes, not the neck.
"C13, don't even have a name?"
The eyes swept over the passengers in the car, there were not many people, most of them were carrying luggage, old and young, everyone had a worried expression on their faces, and a few young people kept swiping their mobile phones, as if they were looking at some information, and their faces were also solemn.
"The news said that the old town had been set aside temporarily to house the people who had migrated, so there was no name. ”
In the grotesque studio in Yecheng, the three people, including Olivia, were gathering in front of the computer, because it was Li Qinglian who had the local information, so now she was the real-time communicator of Zhu Jue, and looked at the content on the light screen extended by the audio-visual stick on the side, and continued,
"The Qili brand is now our potential sponsor, this clothing brand is a relatively high-end category, this time it is best to show it in the video, maybe you can win it, how is the situation over there?"
"What's going on here......"
Zhu Jue turned his head sideways and looked at the environment outside the car, the road on which the bus traveled was quite regular because of the times, just the barren forests on both sides of the road, the iron houses that could occasionally be seen on the side of the road, the rain slapping on the car window and the dark clouds that looked depressing in the distance, pursed his lips,
"Have you ever seen a horror movie? I think that's the best opening environment. ”
"Well, the first thing you have to do now is go to C13 to find a fisherman from Jeffrey Taros, according to reports from two months ago, it seems that he caught that strange fish, and now that the town is flooded, he should follow the transfer troops to C13 as a victim, sorry, I can't give you the exact location. ”
Originally, the town where the strange fish was found was originally on a small island, due to the heavy rain for months and the storm some time ago has been surrounded by the sea, although the town is in a higher position, not to be flooded, but there are some signs, so the local government decided to evacuate urgently, and all residents will be transferred to the nearby old town on the edge of the city, which has been abandoned for a period of time.
Squeak~
The bus stop on the side of the road stopped, and the people on the bus were either wearing raincoats and hats or holding up umbrellas and waiting near the door.
"It's okay, it's detailed enough, I'll just leave the rest to me. ”
Zhu Jue opened the backpack and rubbed the head of the wind chime, the latter obediently got into the backpack, the road outside was full of rain, and the wind chime went out to run back and forth, and it was estimated that he would be soaked, so he could only let Zhu Jue take it.
Thundered~
Zhu Jue stepped on the pedal of the bus and landed, and it happened that there was a muffled thunder in the dark clouds in the distance, he was not frightened, but a middle-aged man wearing a raincoat and holding a foam box in his arms next to him shook subconsciously, and the box in his hand fell to the ground, and the things inside spilled on the ground.
There were a few flat sea fish, as well as three lobsters and a bunch of live octopuses waving their tentacles along the road.
Hurriedly put down the box and began to pick up the seafood, the people next to him just hurried by, and occasionally someone glanced at it and just pretended that nothing had happened and left.
The middle-aged man was so distracted by the accident that he had to pick up lobsters and take care of the octopuses crawling in the wasteland next to him.
Just then, someone burst through the crowd and came to his side and began to help pick up things on the ground.
"Thank you. ”
The middle-aged man looked up at the young man who was helping, and said with some gratitude.
"It's just a gesture, no thanks. ”
Naturally, it was Zhu Jue who helped, and the two of them picked it up for a while, and finally packed all the seafood goods into the box.
"Friend, you're not from here, are you, why did you get off here?"
Picking up the box again, the man looked at the set of clothes on Zhu Jue's body and asked.
"I'm ...... Reporter, I'm going to go to C13 for an interview. ”
said that it was inconvenient to communicate by shooting videos, but Zhu Jue thought about it and it was easier to speak as a reporter.
"You're going to the old town, too? I've got a little restaurant there, and these are the new goods, and I'm going to send them back, and I've got a little van of my own, and if you don't mind, I'll take you there, and it's going to take you half an hour on foot." ”
"Thank you very much. ”
Zhu Jue glanced at the gray pickup truck not far away, in fact, before he came over to help, he had already seen the foam boxes in the back compartment that were exactly the same as the man's hand.
Smoothly hitched a ride and chatted in the car for a while, Zhu Jue also knew that this man's name was Wood Walker, not the person who migrated from the island as Zhu Jue thought, but a person from the nearby city, who originally opened a seafood restaurant in the city, because of the recent situation on the island, he found a business opportunity in it, and spent some money to open a restaurant in the C13 area, that is, the old town in his mouth, which is specially supplied to those who have migrated from the island for refuge.
Ten minutes later, arriving at District C13, Zhu Jue looked at this dark cloud-shrouded urban area, compared to here, the old town of Yecheng where he once lived suddenly became a high-level living community.
There was a lot of garbage scattered on the cramped and narrow streets, the speed of the pickup truck slowed down repeatedly, the crowd shuttled through it, and if you were not careful, you would step on something strange, and a sour smell of wet weather couldn't stop drilling into Zhu Jue's nostrils, although Wood next to him didn't react, he couldn't help but cover his nose.
On both sides of the street are close residential buildings, at a glance you know that they are in disrepair, some people are leaning against the railing, holding pipe-like glassware in their hands to swallow clouds and spitting smoke, some people are holding bowls of steaming pasta, dripping oil residue while eating, waiting for the truck to go further, Zhu Jue also saw a few women with heavy makeup leaning against the entrance of the lane, soliciting men to come and go.
Perhaps the only thing that embodies the technology of the future is the virtual projection advertisements that rotate on the large light signs that stand on the main road outside the old town.
Follow Wood to his restaurant, in the end it was from the city ready to make money, the style is indeed a lot higher, at least the restaurant is clean and bright, and there is an electronic screen hanging inside, constantly pushing the price of seafood.
Two benches, one with a charcoal stove in the middle, with an iron net on the charcoal stove, and red-hot charcoal in it, and in a short time the heat will be steaming up.
Charcoal-grilled seafood, the main specialty of this restaurant.
Combined with the gloomy sky and humid environment outside, this kind of dining is undoubtedly scratching the itch in the hearts of customers, and it's no wonder that Wood thinks there is a business opportunity.
"These are all freshly caught from the sea, lobster, octopus, and this fish and oysters, although they are a little more expensive, but they are absolutely fresh!"
The store hadn't opened yet, Wood took two bottles of drinks to Zhu Jue opposite, and by the way, he also pulled a waitress from the store over, which was Zhu Jue's request...... Don't get me wrong, he didn't want someone to accompany him, but because the waitress was from the island and knew the situation over there very well.
Pouring minced garlic into the oyster shells on the barbed wire, Zhu Jue's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his gaze was hard to pull back from the lobster meat with sweet and spicy sauce next to him.
Eat and eat, and you can't leave things behind.
"I've heard a strange rumor about the recent prolonged rain on the island, and some people say that this disaster was caused by a fisherman catching a strange fish with a human hand?"
did not directly mention the name of Jeffrey Taros, Zhu Jue arched his hand as he asked, signaling that the girl could also use chopsticks to eat together.
"There is indeed such a saying, because the weather is so strange, there has never been such a long rainy day before, and some people say that it is because Jeffrey offended the god of the sea that he became like this...... Some people also said that they dreamed that a giant octopus tentacle appeared in the sea......"
The waitress pinched her apron a little nervously, on the one hand, Zhu Jue's dress was obviously not ordinary, and on the other hand, it was because the iron net in front of her was the best ingredients in the store and the freshest ingredients, not to mention now, even if she hadn't been affected before, she hadn't been normal.
"Where is that Jeffrey now, you know?"
"I know his daughter, do you need me to take you there?"
The waitress's answer was beyond Zhu Jue's expectations.
"Don't worry, let's eat first. ”
found Jeffrey Taros so smoothly, which Zhu Jue didn't expect.
