Chapter 48: No pie in the sky
Cheng Sheng couldn't help but laugh out loud in front of him: "Brother, I'm sorry, I can't help laughing." ”
"Hmph, it's okay, I made it all up, if you want to make me unhappy, I'll format you!"
After Pangu heard Wang Chongke's words, the air cushion motorcycle suddenly accelerated, and Wang Chongke almost fell off the motorcycle, but fortunately Cheng Sheng grabbed him with one hand, which made Wang Chongke stabilize his figure.
Wang Chongke glanced at his computer viciously, turned off the computer with a "snap", and threw it into the schoolbag behind him.
Cheng Sheng sat in front of him, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
......
In Solga, the joint capital of the nations, a building that connects the top of the underground world to the ground. The exterior of the building is like a pyramid, slowly narrowing from bottom to top, with only a small house on the top floor, and the unique reflective glass makes it impossible for outsiders to see everything inside.
At this time, there were two men talking in the middle floor.
"The tricksters failed on their own, and Cheng Hua and Aden also lost their traces after infiltrating Snier. The man who spoke had a golden ball head, was wearing a black suit, had a scar at the corner of his right eye, and his lips were chapped from lack of moisture.
"I see, do they want to make a comeback?"
The other man was wearing a white mask, and his voice was clearly masked and unrecognizable.
After hearing the feedback from the man in the suit, he just sat on the sofa and stared at the "sky" outside, letting out a sneer.
The remnants of the escort team still want to make a comeback, and the familiar names of Cheng Hua and Aden are trying to appear in history again.
He will never allow the convoy to be revived again, and the surface convoy should perish with the fall of the surface.
It's kind enough to let them live underground for so many years, but I didn't expect these guys to have the strength to resist.
"There should be no such intention, according to the information fed back by our intelligence network, our three strangulation operations against the escort team have failed, so these vigilant guys have been out of our sight. The man in the suit continued to report on the information he had so far, although their intelligence network had basically covered the entire underground world, but the people of the escort team were so cunning that they didn't even catch the dog.
"It doesn't matter, even if they do, they won't be able to set off any storms, and it's not the era of heroes for a long time. "The voice after the mask is processed is full of hoarseness.
"Find out the whereabouts of those people as soon as possible, let the jackal lead the team this time, destroy them, and Cheng Hua and Lin Zisheng's cubs can't stay. ”
"Yes. ”
The man in the suit didn't dare to guess the thoughts of the person in front of him, he only needed to complete the tasks assigned by the other party, and he couldn't ask anything else, this was the rule of the haze, and it was also the code of life.
He felt the slightest bit wrong, since the news of the death of the trickster reached his ears, he felt that things might be getting more and more complicated, after all, the opponent was the escort team, if this group of people were brought together again, the dark haze was expected to be in big trouble, but he didn't dare to tell the man in front of him.
......
Cheng Sheng and Wang Chongke, led by Pangu, arrived outside Xiayan Town, a town about the size of Qiluo Town, with no guards outside the town.
The town of Xiayan is the power center of Uma City, with open-pit underground magma, and the largest power plant in Uma City is built directly above the lava, using the thermal energy of the underground magma to produce electricity.
Just standing on the periphery of Xia Yan Town, you can feel that the temperature here is a few degrees higher than other places, and it is really a little unaccustomed to coming here suddenly.
When the two arrived in Xia Yan Town, it was almost dark, and the artificial sun also needed to be recharged, and at night, it was time to replace the energy for the artificial sun.
"Where are we staying tonight?" When he arrived in the town, Wang Chongke ran out of ideas.
"Let's see if anyone is willing to take us in, and stay one night. Cheng Sheng couldn't make up his mind, he used to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and he only needed to follow behind Aden and Cheng Hua.
And at this time, a man walked towards Cheng Sheng.
"Young man, transform people. The man glanced at Cheng Sheng's arm and handed over a cigarette.
"What are you doing?" Cheng Sheng was a little vigilant, and instead of taking the cigarette handed by the other party, he took a step back to protect Wang Chongke.
"I heard just now that you don't seem to have a place to live, my hotel's hotel is still vacant, and we are receiving reformers. The man handed Cheng Sheng a business card.
The above price is very acceptable to ordinary people, but Cheng Sheng doesn't have a penny on him, and his bracelet has no role other than basic functions.
"We don't have any money. Cheng Sheng said helplessly.
"Then you are kind enough to take us in for one night?" Wang Chongke added later.
"No money?" After hearing Cheng Sheng's words, the man laughed, a trace of conspiracy flashed in his eyes, but neither Cheng Sheng nor Wang Chongke noticed, "If you don't have money, you can go to the power plant, where you are recruiting workers and providing accommodation, you are a reformer, your ability should be much stronger than others, and your workload should be able to earn three or two hundred a day." ”
"I'll introduce you to the past, and I can get 100 yuan, do you want to go. ”
"Hey, Brother Sheng can buy a lot of rations for 200 yuan. Wang Chongke looked at Cheng Sheng with some excitement.
This kid, he doesn't have to work and enjoys his achievements, but Cheng Sheng is still thinking about it.
After all, he himself is an illegal survival unit, and his bracelet has no trading function, if the other party asks him to provide the bracelet information to pay his salary, it will be troublesome.
"I think about it. Cheng Sheng still rejected the man's invitation, he felt that it was always inappropriate to do this, and if he was found out once, the danger would be greater, and he couldn't take risks like this.
"Brother Sheng, what else are you thinking about? We don't have much rations. Wang Chongke simply said, "That car also has to replenish energy, and it also costs some money, Brother Sheng, you will leave after two days." ”
If you want to live, you can't starve first, if you can't eat enough, how can you have the strength to run, you have to use transportation to run, look at how thoughtful Wang Chongke thinks.
"Can you settle cash then?" Cheng Sheng asked the man.
"No problem, these are not a problem, there is a shortage of people in the factory now, so I will share 50 of my 100, see that you are also a poor person, and you will come out with your younger brother. As he spoke, the man took out a brand-new 50 from his pocket and handed it to Cheng Sheng.
Before Cheng Sheng could reach out his hand, Wang Chongke took it down and put it in his backpack: "Thank you, uncle." ”
This kid is not polite, he got 50 yuan in his hand, and after taking 50 yuan, Xun Si quickly sold Cheng Sheng.
"Then the two of you will go to my store to rest first, and I will take you to the factory to report early tomorrow morning. ”
"Thank you, what is this gentleman's name. Cheng Sheng didn't doubt this, but felt that there were always well-wishers.
"Li Huai. The man chuckled and took the lead in front, "It's quite rare to see a victim as young as you, there are still a lot of people who have just been underground for a few years, but now many people have stabilized, and there is a foreman in the factory who was also a victim before, and now the children are 7 years old." ”
Li Huai walked in front with Cheng Sheng and Wang Chongke, he was quite happy in his heart, and today was a big deal.
100 yuan for the introduction fee? If you throw this victim into the power plant as a worker, you can get 30,000 yuan, because now the power plant is doing a secret experiment, and it needs the power of transforming people, and one transformed person is 30,000 yuan.
Sell Cheng Sheng to the people in the factory early tomorrow morning, Li Huai thought about the value that Cheng Sheng could bring him, as for Wang Chongke, who was following him, he would casually sell it as a child laborer, and it would be worth thousands of yuan, and this one would make a lot of money.
Li Huai walked in front with a ghost in his heart, Cheng Sheng and Wang Chongke thought they had met a good person, and followed behind Li Huai stupidly.
Li Huai took Cheng Sheng and Wang Chongke to slowly move forward in Xia Yan Town, and although the artificial sun had set, the temperature here still made people sweat.
Soon Li Huai took the two of them to the outside of his hotel, Li Huai knew that the two behind him had fallen into his trap, and he was waiting for tomorrow to withdraw money.
He put away his greedy eyes, turned back to Cheng Sheng and Wang Chongke and showed a smile, his eyes were full of sincerity: "It's too late tonight, you guys will rest in my shop first, and I'll send you to the power plant early tomorrow morning." ”
"Thank you then, uncle, we will repay you. Before Cheng Sheng could speak, Wang Chongke thanked him first.
"Here, the digital key is for you. Li Huai held an item similar to a sticker in his hand, "The room is in the middle of the third floor 303"
"I, me, me!" Wang Chongke immediately stretched out his hand, this kind of reusable electronic sticker key has become very common in the 25th century.
Li Huai saw that Cheng Sheng seemed to be indifferent, but he muttered in his heart, this transformed person looks quite wooden, this kind of person will become a victim of the most likely because he is not clever enough, this kind of person is most suitable for working as a coolie in a power plant.
Cheng Sheng and Wang Chongke didn't know what Li Huai was thinking, and after taking the key, the two went to the room on the third floor.
"Brother Sheng, I'm hungry, I want to have some snacks. As soon as he stepped into the door, Wang Chongke looked at Cheng Sheng with a blank look.
"No, I'll see if I can buy some when I settle my salary tomorrow, I still have something to send to Nanhuyue." Cheng Sheng did not forget the request he had promised the old man before, "Let's get the money, buy some dry food, and then let's continue to set off." ”
"Brother Sheng, I want to eat now. Wang Chongke searched every corner of the room, trying to find some substitutes for dim sum, "I used to prepare some snacks in the room where I lived with my parents, why not here?" ”
"It was nice to be able to stay in the room. Cheng Sheng remembered that when he followed Cheng Hua before, he had slept in all kinds of places except the bed, and now he was finally able to spend the whole night in bed one day, which was really a luxury.
Wang Chongke ignored Cheng Sheng, he continued to rummage through the cabinets in the room, and finally he sat on the floor next to a standing cabinet, helplessly tilting his head back, his eyes on Cheng Sheng's face.
"Brother Sheng, there's nothing in here, and sure enough, pies can't fall from the sky. "Wang Chongke has completely lost motivation.
