Chapter 44: The Snitch (2)
In various literatures, the Maori of the early years of IC is almost the closest thing to heaven in that world. Social democracy, political clarity, affluence, creative flair and fearless optimism. However, even the brightest sun can have flares, and the Maori flare is the Tasmanian D9-D12 zone. In the initial planning of the Māori Island, there were no four zones: D9-D12, and Tasmania was characterized as a commercial, financial and cultural centre, with the main precinct being the commercial district, D1 financial centre, D2 Māori business school, D3 museum and exhibition hall area, D4 sports and arts centre, D5 entertainment industry zone, D6 media centre, and D7-D8 as supplementary living areas. The plan ignores the extensive expansion, maintenance and repair manpower required to design anthills, which are low, dirty, dangerous and unrewarding for noble Maori who disdain to hire outside workers. By IC30, the number of Māori workers had reached 7.2 million, close to 50% of the total Māori population at that time. The influx of large numbers of migrants has led to a sharp deterioration in living conditions, starting with the D7 and D8 supplementary living areas. In order to solve the problem, Tasmania urgently expanded the four sub-districts D9-D12, which have a single area of 400 square kilometres and a sub-sub-sub-zone of 70 square kilometres. Therefore, D9-D12 only provides a minimum of public services, and even the LCD canopy of the dome is not equipped. Since its inception, an average of 8 million people have lived in these four harsh sub-districts, competing for 5 million base-wage jobs serving Māori, and more than 1,000 people die each year due to accidents and lack of treatment, with the promise of Māori citizenship for the first child born in Māori in each family; Second, each family that has served Māori for a total of 15 years is automatically granted Māori citizenship.
- "People Living in the Early Years of IC", IC 67, Tyron. Goran
IC62 November 62, the day before the opening of the Maori Island 60th Anniversary Comprehensive Exhibition, Tasmanian D10-4.
This is a Maori slum, where the hedgehog's high-rise apartments, narrow roads, dense population, and blue-grey domes combine to make up this crypt that looks like a sanctuary more than a green island, and the artificial sun hangs like a giant light bulb over the dome tracks, unadorned, and if you hear better, you can even hear the squeak of the orbital movement.
This is a hell for human habitation and a paradise for lawbreakers.
Let a few pedestrians, Hu Pei. Bella couldn't help but cover her nose to resist the sour body odor formed by not taking a shower for many days. She knew that this was impolite, but she really couldn't do it like Qin Feng, biting the pancakes she bought on the roadside, greeting everyone who came by, and pretending to hug others with the etiquette of the prairie people.
That's right, they also wore the full dress of the steppe people, which is really shocking here, and everyone knows that the residents of D9-D12 can't afford to buy cattle and sheep from the grassland, so the steppe people hardly haunt here.
"Brother Feng, do we have to set the meeting point here?"
"Questions?" Qin Feng smiled and bowed to an aunt, took a bite of the pancake heroically, and swallowed, "Wearing grassland costumes really has to be heroic to taste." ”
"I mean, we could have met in Tasman, or the main part of Tasmania."
"Oh, those places are very tightly regulated."
"How do I think it's just your bad taste."
"How can it be considered a bad taste, it is rare to come to Maori, and of course none of the three places with the most distinctive characteristics of Maori are eco-regions, agricultural areas and slums."
"Yes, yes, we went to the eco-zone and the Tasman area for half a year, but Xiaoyu had to stay in this kind of place for a few months, which is really ...... Did you do that, brother? ”
"This was chosen by Xiao Yu herself." Qin Feng shrugged, "Who made her the commander of this operation." ”
"And without losing contact, you actually have the opportunity to talk to her about the situation in the Tasmanian slums."
"How can you say that, life lies in exploration, the ancients all said, it is better to believe in a brother than to have no brother." Qin Feng smiled evilly. The two turned into the alley, took a few more detours, and came to a seven-story flat-roofed building.
The Tasmanian International Hotel, the legendary top hotel in D10, was originally a public swimming pool planned by the government 17 years ago, but unfortunately in D10, public facilities represent corruption and collusion between officials and businessmen.
Under the operation of some people, the public swimming pool has become an upscale hotel with pool facilities, where the cost of a night exceeds the average monthly income of D10 residents, and after 17 years of construction, there are few guests, and after several changes of hands, the hotel is becoming more and more dilapidated and less configured. Today, it has been transformed into a hotel-level youth hostel.
"Xiao Yu has lived in this kind of place for a month?" Hu Pei. Bella covered her mouth incredulously.
"I'm not sure." Qin Feng was also a little stunned, he had read the online introduction of the Tasmanian International Hotel, although he also thought that it would be more dilapidated than in the photos, but the dilapidated like this, it really exceeded the limit of human imagination for fraud, those broken windows, those black and white mottled exterior walls, those rusty fences and mossy swimming pools, all of them were scenes from horror novels.
"Brother Feng, don't you think your hairs stand up a little?"
"No, it's not really ......" Before the word ghost building could be spoken, Qin Feng suddenly thought of a possibility, "Discharge phenomenon!" He knelt down on one knee, his fingers wide open, and slapped his entire palm on the ground, "Haze!" ”
A thick yellow haze rises around the hotel, enveloping the entire main building. At the same time, countless electric snakes scurried out through the building's broken windows and doors, dispersed by the dust floating in mid-air, absorbed, and finally burrowed into the earth to dissipate.
The haze suddenly cleared, and to the surrounding people, it was just like a gust of wind hanging dust. Although there is a little more dust, everyone knows how dirty the Tasmanian International Hotel is.
"Luriel, don't pull me, Miss Ben is going to demolish this broken hotel!" Hu Pei helped Qin Feng, who was a little soft-footed, into the lobby, and immediately heard the eldest lady's energetic scolding.
Just near the Chinese restaurant in the lobby, a strong man with a height of two meters held the arms of a short-haired girl from behind, with blonde hair on his head standing on end, and his eyes were still a little straight. Kerry, the Snitch Ability, Level 7 of the Second Order, Codename, Armory.
The short-haired girl is a purebred Han Chinese, a very beautiful girl, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and her appearance is three or four points similar to Qin Feng, which makes her facial features a little heroic. As far as the yellow race is concerned, she is very tall, more than 168 centimeters, her hands and feet are slender and not plump, she is the eldest lady of everyone in the Snitch Group, Qin Yu, 16 years old this year, is already a second-order 7th level ability, code name, Thunder.
Hu Pei looked around, the hotel was very quiet, except for Qin Yu and Lu Lier, there was only a middle-aged man who was so frightened that he peed his pants and was paralyzed in front of Qin Yu.
"Where's Cangzhe?"
Qin Feng pointed to the top of his head with a stinky face, and a man in his 30s was floating against the roof of the lobby, with a worried expression on his face. He is of the yellow race, but his facial features are very distinct, his eye sockets are sunken, the bridge of his nose is straight, and he has a heavy Central Asian ancestry. Cang Zhe, second-order level 8, 34 years old, deputy head of the Snitch Regiment, code name, Tengyun.
"Get down!"
"Captain!" Cang Zhe floated down slowly and stopped beside Qin Feng, and the head of the regiment shouted very loudly.
"Let you take a fancy to the two of them, that's what you see?"
"Commander, you don't know, except for Luliel, the fool who even has his head stuffed with muscles, who can block the unconscious discharge of the eldest lady's anger."
"Then you're going to let them play like this?" Qin Feng clutched his head in pain, "If I hadn't happened to come over just now, it is estimated that in half an hour, your position would have been passed to the Spider Queen's desk." ”
"There's no way around it, I can only wait for Xiao Yu to calm down and transfer."
"I'm not transferring! Zhang Aijia dares to come, I will help her make a new hairstyle! The eldest lady seemed to calm down a little, she pulled out of Luliel's strong arm and kicked the lobby manager, and then walked in front of Qin Feng, Luliel didn't react at all, it seemed that he had been electrocuted.
"Brother, you help me get revenge." Qin Yu ran over angrily, hugged Qin Feng's arm, and didn't forget to smile at Hu Pei, "Hello sister-in-law." ”
"Revenge for whom?" Qin Feng looked at the middle-aged man who was lying on the urine, holding his stomach and panting, and then looked at the bulging sister with angry cheeks, with a black line on his head.
"Your favorite sister, me!" The eldest lady had a natural expression, "You don't know, he made false publicity, I endured it, 2000 yuan a night, I endured it, there was no pool, there was no hot water, I endured it, but today I actually ate Xiaoqiang in fried rice!" ”
"Wow, he's so hateful." Qin Feng was very perfunctory.
"That's right! Fortunately, as the first operational base under the auspices of Miss Ben, he is not grateful, and he actually provides this kind of logistics service, which is a stain on Miss Ben's snitch career! ”
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Brother, are you perfunctory to me?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
……
Room 602, one of the two presidential suites at the Tasmanian International Hotel, is also the command centre for the Snits' Māori operations.
Qin Feng looked at the wall ash all over the ground and was speechless. The eldest lady was still angry, sitting on the chair sulking, Hu Pei wanted to make a cup of coffee to ease the atmosphere, but unfortunately glanced at the teacups delivered in the room, and decided very wisely to let the little thief continue to be angry.
"Sister Bella, don't you comfort me?"
"Trust me, you won't like the comfort coffee here."
Qin Yu has lived here for a month, of course she understands what Hu Pei meant, she thought about it carefully, and shuddered: "That...... I'm not angry anymore. ”
"Cangzhe, has the manager taken care of it?" Qin Feng propped his hands and stood in front of the only table, with a map of Tasmania D3 spread out in front of him.
"I threatened him to go to the Brotherhood of the Sky to complain, and given the attitude of an underworld organization to the able-bodied, I guess he would keep it a secret until he saw our suspense on the news."
"What a gratifying integrity." Qin Feng clasped the icon representing the exhibition hall with his fingers, "Good sister, if you are really not angry, let's talk about your arrangements." ”
"Oh." Qin Yu came to the table in a flash, and the wall powder fell with a pop. The little thief woman was gray-headed, coughing and clicking on the map: "A month ago, the three of us entered Maori as tourists and visited 7 exhibition halls, 22 museums and 17 large venues in D3, which are the venues of the comprehensive exhibition. ”
"It's really going to make trouble for us practitioners."
"That's right." Qin Yu pouted, "Combined with the layout of the venue and the information collected on the Internet, our three target items are exhibited in the main venue, D3-5 Science and Technology Hall 1 and D3-2 Ecological Hall 4 respectively, especially the science and technology museum has a strong security force, which will bring some trouble to our actions." ”
"You've got a solution." Qin Feng understands his sister's habits best, and when she says that things are troublesome, she just came to praise me.
"Brother still understands me." The little girl smiled, "Yesterday I sent a letter to Prime Minister Oren, in order to make the competition of the world's number one thief group more memorable, I urge them to strengthen the security of the venue. ”
"Then the Wheel of Fortune will know what we're aiming for, and I guess there's probably a change in the distribution of support forces now." Hu Pei smiled.
"The last time I surveyed the site this morning, I saw Zhang Aijia and Luo Chuan at the main venue, as well as Luo Ji. Banninger's grumpy dwarf. Cang Zhe made a flying posture.
"Brother, do you still have the confidence to be the boss of the world's No. 1 thief group?"
"If you really want to grab that painting, it's a bit of a problem." Qin Feng said lightly, "But putting aside the terrorists of the Truth Society, if the thieves are disbanded, won't we be the first?" ”
"If the mercenaries from the Foreign Affairs Department of Agency R don't make a move, it will be difficult for Black Widow to disband the Rogue Clan, right?"
"We can love each other."
