Chapter 1: Gulan Bar

Su Sheng put down the brief history of the Federation that he had obtained from the black market in his hand, and shook his head, except for the fact that he was convinced that time was the part of currency, a brief history was like predicting the future in a computer, and if you believe it, you don't believe it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Rolled up his sleeves and looked at the blue time beating on the skin of his arm, 24:40:00, there were still twenty-six hours, and there were less than twenty-five hours left, and it took an hour to buy a brief history of the Federation from the black market, plus the reading time, it had already taken an hour and twenty minutes, it was too extravagant, it was really curiosity that killed the cat.

For hundreds of years, time has been accepted by human beings as currency, and the only criticism is that if you don't charge time in time after the time you have is consumed, then the federal intelligence mastermind will judge you as untrustworthy and immediately deprive you of the right to live according to the regulations of survival of the fittest.

For the Guding people who have been abandoned by the Federation, the most important thing every day is to earn enough time to live, and the surplus can buy some daily necessities to improve their lives, and at night, there are still twenty-five hours left.

Looking at the sky, Su Sheng decided to go to Xiaolan for a drink, Su Sheng's family came to Guding eighteen years ago, it is hard for people to imagine that there are people who are willing to run to Guding from outside to live, and the vigilance in their bones makes people reluctant to contact this family, except for Weilan, an orphan.

Just over the age of eighteen and five days, Su Sheng has been trying things that only adults can do, such as drinking, but the taste of tequila is really not very good.

"Aunt Yan, I'll go out" Su Sheng opened the door next door.

"There seems to be a problem with the formula for calculating the hydraulic load you gave me during the day, are you sure that this will reduce the load on the mech's legs?" Aunt Yan was noncommittal, but questioned Su Sheng's completed task.

Aunt Yan is not because she has a cigarette in her mouth, but because her name is Liu Ruyan, Su Sheng has always thought that such an ethereal name should not appear on the body of a science and engineering overlord, at least in his opinion, Aunt Yan is a science and engineering overlord, and in the past eighteen years, she has relied on her black market to sell her whimsical modified mecha theory to feed a family.

"I have already made a reverse calculation, it is valid, Uncle Long came back and told him, the meal will be heated by himself and then eaten, his stomach is not good." After speaking, he pushed the door and walked out, and the slender figure disappeared into the night.

At night, it takes a long time for a dilapidated street to have a white energy-saving lamp, like the old black-and-white movie, lifeless, mottled and nostalgic.

Gooding is a mining area, once produced what is said to be the only crystal that can continue to provide mecha energy, after being frantically mined, in the eyes of the bigwigs of the Federal Parliament, it has become a chicken rib, in the constant protests continue to reduce the supply, power outages have become the norm, fresh vegetables and meat will only occasionally arrive, and it is divided between some of Gooding's only bigwigs and government departments.

Su Sheng hadn't eaten fresh beef for almost a year, and he was already very content to taste expired frozen pork.

The flickering neon lights resemble prostitutes who stand on the side of the road scratching their heads in order to earn a few hours, provoking the fragile nerves of the Guding people after a busy day, and perhaps only under the anesthesia of alcohol can they forget the stress of life, so the Gulan Bar across the door from the police station has a good business, and it has become the only pastime for the Guding people.

Su Sheng helped the black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, walked into the bar, and looked up when he passed by the retired mecha at the door, the boss of the Gulan bar must be a character who can get a retired mecha to decorate the façade, the boss is very mysterious, I heard that it is from the capital.

Su Sheng spent a lot of time on this mecha, as long as you pay enough time, then you can enter the mecha to control, of course, it is just a simulation, no one in Guding can take out an energy crystal that can start the engine.

The noise in the bar was mixed with the smell of low-quality liquor, stimulating a group of male animals that had been squeezed by life and only had skin bags, and Veran in front of the bar held a hand from afar.

"Hey, Su Sheng, here, you can count it, just wait for you, the rich man, wow, beautiful young lady, please give me two cups of tequila, thank you" Greeting Su Sheng, Wei Lan turned his head to the bar waiter and said.

"Pay the bill, you must know that I have had enough waiting for you for half a day, this girl has seen through that I have no time to pay, and I have been despised all night" Veran said angrily to Su Sheng, who had already sat down.

Su Sheng put his hand into the arc-shaped payment device, and with a click, the voice of electronic synthesis came, "Two cups of agave, you have successfully paid for one hour and thirty minutes, Yunkai Bank reminds you that your time balance is less than twenty-four hours, please replenish it as soon as possible"

It's always like this, when the two are together, Su Sheng listens quietly, and Wei Lan keeps making noise, so Su Sheng calls him Xiaolan, just like a woman.

"I said do you want my brother to take you to find a sister tonight, you know that the price is very fair now, don't keep a straight face, you are already an adult"

"Shut up"

"And won't let me say it? Well, for agave's sake. ”

That feeling came again, since he was brought into the Gulan bar by Veran as an adult, Su Sheng felt that every time he came in, he was stared at, and that feeling of not being sure Su Sheng didn't like it very much, and even made him hairy.

Turning his head to look at the dim corner of the corner, he frowned, since he felt that he was being targeted, Su Sheng paid attention, most of the people who came in Gulan were regulars or alcoholics, and after observing for a few days, he found that only this middle-aged man, every time he came, he could be seen sitting alone in the corner, his close-fitting suit and temperament were obviously not Guding, and it was even more obvious that every time he called for Martell wine, Guding ordinary people couldn't afford to drink it at all, and that glass would take six hours.

Wei Lan also saw it, Su Sheng told him about it, and touched the alloy knife that Su Sheng made for him behind him, "I'm going to explore the way?" ”

There are always a lot of people in the world, and when Su Sheng wanted to go over, the door of the bar was slammed open, and a group of mermaids rushed in.

"How dare the people of the Time Gang enter the Gulan Bar to run errands? This is across the door from the police station. Veran paused.

"For life, for that crazy and damn time" Su Sheng's eyes narrowed, and sure enough, the Time Gang, which specializes in robbing time, went straight to the middle-aged man.

This is a big fish, Ye Liu, the leader of the Time Gang, synthesized the information collected by his subordinates for a few days, drank expensive wine every day, lived in the best room of the only hotel in Guding, how long has it been since he met such a good goods, a huge Guding, who would care if he killed a foreigner? Not to mention that the sheriff is still waiting to share the spoils.

"Make a friend?" Ye Liu stretched out his left hand and smiled evilly, in Weilan Star, time can be adjusted with each other, and the time can be transferred by holding each other's hands, so the Federal Intelligence Mastermind arranges the time setting on the left arm, and the right hand often needs to shake hands.

The middle-aged man was obviously stunned, not committal, but stared at Su Sheng's eyes through the gap in the crowd. The information revealed in the eyes is clear, do me a favor.

Su Sheng's eyes narrowed even more, for no reason, inexplicably, why?

"I said, can we make friends?" Seeing that the middle-aged man did not react, Ye Liu increased his tone, it would be best if he didn't do it in Gu Lan, Gu Lan's boss was too mysterious, no one could touch the depths, and even the police station was a little jealous.

The middle-aged man still didn't say anything, looked at Su Sheng and suddenly smiled, took a sip of the wine in front of him, and then put his hand into the suit.

With a snort, Ye Liu quickly took out a gun and put it on the middle-aged man's head, "You'd better take it out slowly, if it's a pack of cigarettes in your hand, I think we'll all be very happy."

Seeing Ye Liu take out his gun, the bar quieted down, and the waiter even turned off the music.

"Calm down," the middle-aged man spoke, his hand slowly reaching out from his suit, and dangling an ornament on his finger.

At this moment, the lights in the bar suddenly went out, "Damn the Federation, there is a power outage again, don't move" Ye Liu's voice was full of anxiety.

Wei Lan suddenly felt that the alloy knife behind him was withdrawn, and immediately stood up and walked towards the door, Su Sheng was quietly wandering in the dark, and suddenly Ye Liu's scream was heard, and the bar was in chaos, and the middle-aged man rushed out of the Gulan bar with the crowd.

"Quick, this way" Wei Lan, who was standing in the shadow of the corner, saw Su Sheng hurriedly greeted, Su Sheng pulled up the middle-aged man and ran into the shadows, without any communication, Su Sheng threw the alloy knife to Wei Lan.

Su Sheng ran away with the middle-aged man, and there was not a single street, and there was a sound of fighting behind him, and there were bursts of screams.

After running for fifteen minutes, the middle-aged man was panting, and grabbed Su Sheng, "Don't run, you should be safe, the years are unforgiving."

Su Sheng stopped and looked around, he was almost at the mine, he should be safe, and Su Sheng looked at the middle-aged man silently under the dim light of the miner's lamp in the distance.

The middle-aged man calmed down and looked at Su Sheng and smiled, Su Sheng's eyes habitually narrowed, only Wei Lan knew, Su Sheng would squint when he was thinking about a problem or angry.

"Take off your flat glasses, I want to see the real you, Su Sheng" the middle-aged man said kindly, "When you see this, you should know that I have no hostility, my name is Wei Kev" Wei Kev finished speaking, took out the ornament and handed it to Su Sheng, to be exact, it was an eagle-shaped silver badge or something.

Su Sheng's hand rubbed on the badge, and when he saw this thing in the bar just now, he set off a storm in his heart, because this thing was the same as the tattoo on his left shoulder blade, but this one was smooth, but there were all kinds of lines in the tattoo.

"My task is to give you a few things when you are eighteen, and this is just a token," Weikov opened a box that he had taken out of his pocket.

A chip the size of a grain of rice lay quietly in the box.

"Why?" Su Sheng asked with a squint.
