Chapter 564: The Night of Transition (2)

Here, merchants can buy these high-value belongings at very low prices in the hands of frightened newcomers, and sell them for tens or even hundreds of times higher prices on their return. Newcomers can also buy some supplies from them that they don't actually need, and relieve their inner insecurity. Looks like a win-win situation.

It was midnight when Stuka walked into the grocery market, but it was still brightly lit and crowded. A large number of people in a similar situation to him walked into and out of the market, which was much more lively than rushing to the market.

At first glance, it looks like an ordinary flea market, with long queues of merchants setting up their stalls and displaying their products with loudspeakers and holograms.

But the merchants' stalls were filled with not antiques and jewelry, but food, clothing, drinks and even cosmetics. This is where you can see the latest needs of the newcomers who have just settled.

People's means of payment are also strange, and it is normal to use clothes and jewelry. After strolling around for a while, Stuart was even quite sure that he had seen a young woman trying to use her flesh as a means of payment, just to get a vanity case from a merchant.

In such an atmosphere, Situ Ka didn't know whether to cry or laugh. When he was in the police station, he was worried at first, afraid that the police in the new world would bully him as an "outsider", but in the end, the police finally made a very good impression on him.

Now, he has developed a little sense of identification with the plane council that saved him. When he came out, he was going to see if his compatriots were starting to adapt to the new world like himself, but it turned out to be difficult for him to accept.

People are indeed adapting to this new world, but it seems that many of the old world customs and even dross have been inherited. In this way, he was in a bad mood and was ready to leave the grocery market. Take a stroll around the rest of the city.

But just as he was about to leave, a small new stall in the corner of the market caught his attention. The stall, like most of the other vendors, was set up on a pickup truck as a platform, and they were selling bouquets of flowers!

He suddenly remembered Sarah, who had been admitted to the hospital a few hours earlier, and he still didn't know where the Theron people came from and why anyone hated her so much. But when I was taking notes at the police station. But there are police officers who tell him the hospital where he is now.

Before he came, he had checked the public electronic map of a nearby station, the hospital seemed to be not far from here, and now that he had regained his freedom, he should go to the hospital to see the other party, and maybe bring some bouquets or something to condole.

Of course, this was only his superficial thoughts. In fact, after experiencing the previous incident, he had a liking for the female Theron he only met today, which any adult would understand, and he subconsciously wanted to take this opportunity to test whether the other party had a good impression of him.

There was no such thought before because he had not yet settled down. None of the problems of survival have been solved. Now that he not only has a place to live, but also a prize money to splurge, why not take the opportunity to try his luck?

The war had taught him to seize the opportunity to enjoy life, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his impulse was actually very reliable. As soon as he thought of it, he bought some bouquets suitable for the sick at the shop that sold flowers, and planned to rent a car for a while.

When he bought the flowers, he realized that the prize money he had received had made him a small one. Although he can't support himself to live a lavish life, it has made him much richer than most people in this city.

He also learned that there were private car rentals and trades in the city. Not all of them are public transport systems arranged by the Council. Although there are taxis in the city, those cars are always booked by others, and it is not possible to grab the right to use them if you have the money.

The number of businessmen who can come to the private car business at this stage is relatively small, after all, this business requires some licenses and the cost of transportation is also high. The space required to do business is large, and the relative profit is relatively low.

At this stage, the main focus of the merchants is still on the most profitable reselling business, and only a few far-sighted companies under the Plane Reconstruction Committee are willing to occupy the market first and make a name for themselves among the huge group of new immigrants with their products and services.

Even so. There are still very few people who have enough money and are willing to rent or buy a family car. So, after spending some time contacting merchants on the fringes of the city and paying an unbelievably high deposit through Guò online payment, Stuka quickly got the car he needed.

He rented a private car of a fairly new model. It can be regarded as a test of the waters, starting with the resettlement areas of new immigrants, so that they can improve and enter the mature markets in other regions after they collect the trial reports.

The car has a sleek shape, much like a concept car that an early 21st-century car designer would have designed. Like most new family cars, this one is equipped with an autonomous driving system.

As long as it is in autonomous mode, even if the person sitting in the driver's seat does not have a driver's license or is drunk, it is not illegal under the new law. This is the main reason why Stuka chose to rent this car.

He also didn't know if the government here would recognize the few special driver's licenses he relied on in the UNSC military, so in order not to inadvertently do anything illegal, he still chose this car with autonomous driving mode.

After getting into the car, he set it up according to what he had learned from Sara before, and sure enough, after confirming the finish line, the private car drove smoothly and quickly onto the street like the previous smart bus.

Even with the best route planned by the autopilot, it took him an hour and a half to get out of the main city. After all, there are just too many cars and pedestrians on the road. As he was about to reach his settlement, there was an explosion in the city, which made Stuka, who had just felt calm, smart, and quickly took over the driving manually.

A few minutes later, upon arriving at his settlement, he learned from the radio news that the explosion had occurred. According to the news, it was an explosion that occurred during the process of exterminating a group of armed robbers by the parliamentary forces, killing all the robbers who resisted.

It was also mentioned in the news that yesterday the parliamentary army carried out a number of major operations, and most of the organized crime organizations that have suddenly appeared in recent days have been eliminated, and the police will continue to investigate the source of the weapons and the previous connections of the bandits...... Of course, the truth is a little more colorful than in this report.

As early as a few hours ago, the arrest of Lola. Roslyn was persuaded by her fiancé to cooperate. She confessed to all the senior leaders of the parliamentary opposition that she knew, and promised to continue to pretend to be normal and keep in touch with her upline for a while until NCI investigators found all the plotters.

And to do that, they have to work together. Laura. Although Roslyn could identify some of the opposition's top leaders, she didn't know everyone and wasn't sure who was planning it.

Without enough pressure, the plotters of the inciting riots would not have come forward. Too much pressure, and the planners are likely to be frightened and hide from the blow. The purpose of this round of NCI investigations is to eradicate the parliamentary opposition once and for all, not to hit it hard.

In order to create the right amount of pressure, they orchestrated a false encirclement operation. Blockaded an entire city and blew up a building that used to be a supermarket. In this way forged before and Lola. Roslyn was arrested along with the deaths of others.

The captives had already been taken into custody and would not be killed at will, but most of them could not complete the complex disguise, so they could only arrange their fake death. In order to create the illusion that the parliamentary army is approaching layer by layer, attacking the opposition from below, and the Sydney branch of the opposition is already in danger.

As the protagonist of this big drama, Laura. Roslyn was put in the most dangerous position. She will act as the savior of the remnants of the opposition in Sydney, leading them to escape from the encirclement of the Parliamentary forces in the city before dawn, and finally to join up with their other branches.

This was a risky arrangement, because the officers and soldiers in charge of the encirclement and suppression did not know that they were cooperating with the intelligence services and their undercover agents. And all the action will take place tonight, and these loyal and reliable soldiers will carry out their orders without compromise, killing any suspects who disobey their arrest warrants.

In such a situation, one does not play well. Laura. Roslyn was about to lose his life. If it weren't for the fact that her own freedom depended on a new deal with the NCI, she wouldn't have been willing to take that risk.

Gibbs, the director of the NCI, gave her a simple condition, either to take them to all the top echelons of the opposition, or to go to a cell to reflect. All in all, the more members of the opposition leadership are found, the less punishment she will receive.

If you can catch all the top echelons of the opposition, Lola. Roslyn was able to escape most of the punishment, and a very light sentence of two years of house arrest in a home would offset the guilt. To be honest, this condition is already more than Rolla. Roslyn's psychological expectations were much better. This is especially true when she is quite sure that she still has an important hole card that has not been leaked. She thinks highly of herself and is not prepared to give up her freedom for anyone else, so she finally agrees to this condition. (To be continued......)
