Chapter 43: The Beginning
Gao Ning knew that the child would definitely sell him if he turned his head.
But it didn't matter, he was just looking for a temporary place to stay.
It's a good place, with food, weapons, and beds to rest on.
What's more important is that there is a change of clothes.
When he started just now, Gao Ning suddenly found that the time currency was dropping at twice the speed.
Obviously, the tuxedo was unconsciously summoned by Gao Ning using time currency.
Existence requires one serving of time, and the use of the tuxedo function requires the consumption of another serving.
The Mystery Train has strict rules and cannot carry anything other than the quest items you turn in.
Similarly, creating items in a carriage cannot be carried into the quest world.
The only way to do this is to temporarily summon by consuming double Time Credit.
Although not fully understood, time currency is much more precious in terms of quest rewards.
To use it in such a place is completely wasteful.
It's no wonder that in the last world, Grandma Liu and Liang Bing didn't show anything abnormal.
If you're not careful, you'll fall into a trap, like a mysterious train trying to recover time currency.
Something quirky.
Gao Ning found a set of denim clothes in the wardrobe.
Eighty percent new, a little big, you can see that the owner is very precious to this dress, and it is carefully preserved.
Or even put it in a separate compartment.
Gao Ning took off his tuxedo, changed into this denim suit, and found another hat to wear on his head.
After scouring the room, he stuffed a small bag of canned bullets and some banknotes he found, removed all rifle magazines, and pushed the door open with a large-caliber pistol and walked out.
By this time the sky had darkened, and the shanty town was gradually lit up with soft lights.
The narrow streets are no longer empty and barren during the day, but there are many more people wandering.
The tone is strange and the language is complex, like being in the slums of a war zone in Africa.
Gao Ning glanced up, and sure enough, he found more than a dozen big men, who were rushing towards this side under the leadership of several children.
The corners of Gao Ning's mouth curled, pressed the brim of his hat, and turned his head to merge into the crowd.
After a while, there was an angry shout from behind.
The area of this shantytown is amazingly large, Gao Ning is in a daze on various forks in the road, if it is not for the small map, which has been marked in the right direction, he would have wondered if he is blocked by ghosts.
Everywhere you look, it's the same dilapidated, garbage flying everywhere, and every distance you come across a few restaurants like food stalls.
The decoration is shabby, and the chef and the food sold have a miserable feeling, but in this way, there are many children standing on the sidelines drooling, and can only watch the adults bury their heads in eating and drinking.
It's even messier than the dirtiest streets in New Delhi.
Maybe it was because of the change of clothes, coupled with the cover of the night, Gao Ning was not as conspicuous as during the day, and he didn't attract anyone's attention all the way.
Checking the minimap to confirm that the pursuers did not follow, Gao Ning turned directly out of the lively street, walked to a girl standing at the intersection and smoked, and pulled out a banknote.
The girl smiled, picked up the banknote and stuffed it into her chest and said something.
Seeing that Gao Ning didn't understand, he changed to English again: "Go to your house?"
Gao Ning smiled: "To do this kind of thing, you have to have some fun."
The girl nodded, flicked the cigarette butt away, made a follow me gesture, turned her head and left.
Gao Ning followed her, directly into the small low house next to her, through a few doors, to cross two courtyards, and then came to a bright and hazy villa.
Gao Ning was a little surprised, he didn't expect that there was a villa here.
Architecturally, it is clear that it was rebuilt by demolishing the nearby shantytown.
It seems that no matter when you do the leather and meat business, it is the most profitable.
The girl gestured to the strong black man guarding the door, pointed at Gao Ning, and then walked in.
The interior decoration is good, knowing that at this time, Gao Ning can be regarded as seeing some traces of modern society.
I asked an old woman with curly hair at the front desk for a key, and the two entered a room on the second floor.
As soon as the door closed, the girl threw herself on the wide Simmons with a cheer, and then undressed herself consciously.
"Wait!" Gao Ning hurriedly stopped.
If you don't stop a little more, the book will go into the little dark room.
The girl looked up: "What's wrong?" I had my first time today and it was very clean. If you want to take a bath, the price will be doubled! ”
Gao Ning took out all the banknotes on his body and threw them directly to her.
"There's something I want to ask you!"
The girl glanced at Gao Ning and said, "Understand, ask for news, I occasionally meet people like you."
What excuses are you going to use as an excuse to do research or news material? ”
Gao Ning thought for a moment and said, "Save the world?"
The girl laughed: "I like this!" ”
She grabbed the money and gathered it back, "Okay, for your generous sake, I'll be yours tonight!" ”
Gao Ning smiled, this is exactly what I wanted.
He casually poured out the cans from his backpack and opened them one by one amid the cheers of the girls.
So it successfully turned a colored exchange between men and women into a normal invitation full of protective colors.
Gao Ning took the spoon and ate a can of stuffed soybeans or stewed soybeans with pig's trotters, and said, "What kind of place is this?"
"Mexico border, only 30 kilometers from the United States. If you want to go, you can go straight to the bus. ”
The girl replied indifferently, grabbing a piece of meat in her hand and biting hard.
I could tell she liked the taste.
Gao Ning then remembered that in this world, due to population explosion and pollution, the national class has existed in name only.
The struggle between countries, in the miraculous evolution of the political system, has long since completed the global unity.
Unfortunately, the United Nations is still a piece of ornament and has not yet turned over.
The global parliament led by the five major powers and composed of dozens of developed countries has successfully seized power, and the current president does not only represent the supreme ruler of the United States.
It is a puppet pushed by the world's wealthy class.
According to common sense, such a situation is basically impossible, not to mention the differences in cultural backgrounds of different countries, and to say that capitalism and communism are naturally hostile.
There is no such thing as a global parliament.
But in this alternate future space, this situation has just appeared.
With the emergence of the global parliament, the contradiction of the entire human society has evolved from the relationship between different countries to the contradiction between the rich and the poor.
It is also in this context that the original plot of Elysium will be produced.
For the sake of money, the girl answered very cheerfully, basically answering whatever she asked.
In addition to complaining about the violent enforcement of the mechanical police and the so-called zero-tolerance law and order management regulations previously issued by the government.
The most left is the yearning for Elysium.
It was clear from the girl's eyes that she had made it a paradise.
