Beihu was once the fashion center of the world, and modern fashion tycoon Ed Qin spent 32.6 billion yuan in joint credits to build Lakeview Park in the northern suburbs of Rongcheng into a fashion capital.

Before the disaster, there were nearly 500,000 residents here, elite designers from all over the world, top models of all body types, fashion concept consultants, media practitioners, fashionistas from all walks of life, and North (Lake) drifters who are determined to devote themselves to the fashion career gathered here. The five-square-kilometre business district is occupied by some of the world's most prestigious luxury stores, top fashion studios, high-end restaurants and hotels. On the periphery of the commercial district, there are rows of fully automated garment factories, black technology factories that produce magic holographic garments, and related downstream supporting industry factories. In fact, these mass production factories are here to gain fame, because of the name of Beihu, their products are very popular on the Internet. But the real fashion is only in the North Lakes business district.

Although it is called a satellite city of Rongcheng, Beihu's popularity and influence in the world far exceed that of its mother city. The annual "North Lake Show" is a feast for beauty lovers from all over the world. The concept of the North Lake Show is to "let everyone who comes to North Lake find their own fashion" - no matter age, race, beauty or ugliness, tall or short, fat or thin, everyone has the potential to become the most dazzling one on the North Lake Ω stage. There is only the most suitable beauty for yourself, and there is no "buyer's show" of thunder.

"Lao Guang, are you familiar with this place?" When the system Guangxu introduced Beihu to Luo Youcheng, Luo Youcheng threw out such a question.

"The information of North Lake is available on the internal website of the Black Box. Of course, it's all pre-disaster information. Su Yuanqing is also one of the major shareholders of Beihu, and he has a 20% stake in the technical services of the black box. ”

Luo Youcheng's eyes lit up: "So, this Beihu base has one-fifth of me?" ”

System Guangxu snorted: "If you can take them down when you can do it, Su Yuanqing's legal heir is a good excuse." Now, just think about it in your head. ”

The North Lake base occupies the commercial area centered on North Lake, and the factories on the periphery are abandoned by them.

It's ten o'clock in the evening, but the lights in the Beihu base are still bright, and on the curtain wall of the towering buildings, from time to time, tall, short, fat and thin men and women come out to show their individual clothes; The shops under the curtain wall have no intention of closing. When people walk by the door, the holographic intelligence in the store will jump out to promote their products or ideas. On the south side of the square, a row of snack vans is parked, and an advertising screen on the roof of the car displays a variety of delicacies.

Being here is like stepping back in time to the pre-disaster era. But if you look closely at the people coming and going in the square, you have a sense of the alien world.

Two young men and a stout man walked towards the vending cart. Seeing the arrival of a customer, one of the owners of the car immediately got up to greet him. The boss was smiling, but one of the hands on his chin seemed to have ADHD and kept moving. The boss had to stretch out his right hand and scratch it in the palm of the hand on his chin to soothe.

"What do you want to do?" When the boss spoke, his right hand was put back in place, and the small hand on his chin was turned up in front of his mouth as a mask. "I have the best printed ingredients here. The steak was designed by Master Corneri borrowing the texture of Kobe beef and commissioned to be bioprinted by Umatelle. The fat and lean parts are evenly divided, and they dissolve in the mouth, which is the 'phantom wing' in beef. Would you like to try it? ”

Seeing that the three guests were unmoved, the boss introduced: "Why don't you try this foie gras?" Produced by Hu Luoji, ten for one fake. ”

"All fresh?" A young man with a pigtail on his right face finally spoke up.

"Freshness guaranteed. They were all printed today. The boss pulled down a flat scanning pin from the peripheral interface above his head, and the scanning beam shone on the food, showing the date of printing of the food, the designer, and the printing company.

"It's very fresh." The dreadlocked-faced youth nodded, "But I'm looking for a canned food with a food packaging pattern that turns into." ”

The boss was startled, and the hand on his chin suddenly stretched out from the elder, covering the mouth of the young man with a dirty pigtailed face. The boss looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, so he lowered his voice and said, "Do you want to go to jail?" Dare to say this here. ”

As soon as the hand on the chin was removed, without the protection of the "mask", the defects of the boss's teeth were exposed, his teeth were very uneven, long and short, leaving large and small holes between the teeth. As soon as he spoke, the spittle star flew out of the hole and flew onto the steak, foie gras, caviar, and chocolate truffles......

The young man with three meat tubes on his forehead and the stout man with the tip of his nose raised high couldn't help frowning.

The boss looked vigilantly at the dreadlocked-faced youth: "New wanderer? ”

The dreadlocked-faced youth froze for a moment, then nodded.

"Did you report it?" The boss's tone became more and more like that of a policeman.

The young man in the meat tube suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and said with a smile: "This is my distant cousin who has been separated for many years, and it has not been a few days since he came from the city of freedom. It has already been declared, and the approval process will take a few more days. ”

"It turned out to be from that garbage dump, no wonder I had a meat poison addiction at such a young age." The boss said disgustedly.

The young man sneered twice, got up and said to the two companions: "Don't eat it, the spitting stars are flying everywhere, it's too unsophisticated." ”

The boss was startled, and the hand on his chin retracted. He hurriedly scanned the ingredients with a scanning needle, and the beam of light emitted a dazzling red light: "The ingredients are contaminated and inedible." ”

The boss covered his mouth and cried: "It's all your fault, you have to accompany me." ”

The young man frowned, and after a moment, he took out a palm-sized round box from his arms and threw it to the boss. "This fancy cutter should be enough to compensate you. The yellow button is the instruction for use, see for yourself. ”

The boss hurriedly checked the instructions, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. Looking up to speak, several people had already left.

When the three of them walked to the penultimate vending car, the owner of the vending car waved to the young man with a dirty pigtailed face, and when the young man with a pigtailed face approached, he didn't speak, but just quietly stuffed a note into his palm, and then ignored it. The young man in the meat tube gave the boss a strange look, did not speak, and pulled his companion away.

On the road, the young man with a dirty pigtail face wanted to open his mouth several times, but he was stopped by the young man with a look in the meat tube.

The three entered an apartment building, took the levital ladder to the 62nd floor, and entered an apartment. The apartment is not large, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, which is the standard configuration of low-level salarymen before the disaster era. There was a man in the living room, tightly wrapped in a mummy with a bondage belt, still unconscious.

The three of them sat down on the couch and dipped a beaker in a liquid and wiped it from the base of the ear to the jaw.

The young man in the meat tube said to the young man with a dirty pigtailed face: "Don't talk when you go out in the future, you will be exposed when you speak." Fortunately, Shi Yin inquired about some news in advance, otherwise I don't know how to complete that sentence. ”

The dreadlocked young man laughed awkwardly twice, but did not refute. The fingers lifted a thin film at the base of the ear and slowly tore it off, and it turned out to be Shiyan Mountain.

Wang Zejun also removed the disguise from his face and asked, "Why is Yanshan looking for that kind of expired and spoiled food?" ”

Luo Youcheng threw the meat tube mask on the coffee table and said: "I've been used to eating, and he's looking for the taste of his childhood." ”

Shi Yanshan muttered: "I just like this taste, what's the matter?" His hands kept rubbing his cheeks.

This bionic gel mask is found in this apartment, it is a performative decorative prop, which can be worn to be fake, but the breathability is not very good, and the skin will become wooden after wearing it for a long time.

Wang Zejun also rubbed his face and asked, "What should that guy do?" ”

Luo Youcheng glanced at the guy who was tied into a dumpling, "Let's do this first, feed him something to eat every once in a while, and just don't die." ”

The owner of the apartment is called Lu Rongsheng, who belongs to the Beipiao family, has average fashion talent, and was a miscellaneous guy before the disaster era. After the disaster, the talent withered, and he had a day to come out. I used to work in a good design studio, and I was fired two days ago because I got the wrong size of the client, and I was a poor person. If it weren't for seeing him go crazy with alcohol and beating a different hostess at the door of the bar, he wouldn't have been knifed.

"The people at this base are living well, and it's a little different from what you said." Wang Zejun said.

"yes." Luo Youcheng covered up his embarrassment by rubbing his face, this place was indeed much better than he imagined, and even the lowest aliens could find a job. In the past seventeen years, his knowledge of the world has been limited to the places in Zizai City and the surrounding areas for a mile or two, and the most familiar is the sewers of Zizai City, where did he know that there is such a good place near Rongcheng? Compared with here, it would be polite to say that Zizai City is a garbage dump.

Of course, it's not bad, it's still very wary of outsiders, and even a little hostile to outsiders. The cars and people who came to the base had to be reported in advance, and Shang Shiyin's flying wings were directly destroyed without any warning. Outsiders are subjected to strict interrogation at the gates of the base, and those who do not have relatives to guarantee them in the base are turned away.

Luo Youcheng and when they came in, they naturally didn't go through the formal channels, they came in from the most familiar channel - the sewer system.
