Chapter 3: The Keeper of the Ranks!
After walking on the sidewalk for nearly two hours, passing countless factories and dormitories, Zorro gradually unfolded in his vision of a super-tech city that he could not imagine.
The rows of high-rise buildings, the appearance of the material that cannot be explained, the three-dimensional sense is presented at the same time, towering into the sky.
The skybridge rises from the ground, connecting the buildings and streets, connecting the whole city into one, so that the air does not seem so empty.
In the display screen of the square, an online singer resembling Hatsune Miku is beating the beat, her feet wrapped in black stockings jumping from side to side, while the cherry mouth grows and emits a melodious and graceful singing voice.
The square-shaped airship holding the banner moved smoothly from mid-air, and at the same time, several small float ships with a sense of science and technology flew in all directions from time to time, tearing the air and disappearing from view in the blink of an eye.
Through the visual bonus, Zorro vaguely saw the font on the banner, "Gun King Competition, who is the King of Guns!" ”...
On the smooth and clean streets, all kinds of people passed by him.
There are young men and women in pure white overalls carrying briefcases, countless high-end and luxurious shops, clowns performing on the streets, hovercar drivers waiting on the hovercar tracks, and watchmen with electric batons patrolling the joints.......
In order, everything was like his ideal perfect life.
But it is not for nothing that this harmonious city can be labeled as bloody and violent. However, even if he witnessed the city with his own eyes, for Zorro, the sleepless city under the hazy veil was still an unsolved mystery.
Before that, though, maybe he should have eaten something first, his stomach was empty.
What to eat?
In this world, food is really expensive.
Contaminated food, pet food, this is something that can fill the stomach that can be obtained by the predecessor, and even there is no meal, which has developed a good anti-hunger ability for this body.
Zorro had never experienced the taste of food personally, but when he read the senses in the memories of his predecessor, an indescribable feeling came over him.
Bad!
This is also inevitable.
However, Zorro is ready to treat himself and solve the mortal crisis, and it is impossible to eat pet food for the first meal after the crossing.
I'm afraid I'll have to enter the top 10 of the starting point competition!
Thinking like this, the flow of people around him has gradually become denser, and a relatively crowded, high-traffic block appears in his eyes.
The storefronts on both sides are dominated by high-end entertainment venues.
Under the flyover, there are a few street vendors offering a variety of delicacies.
"Put the noodles, put the noodles!! You can add pork bones, lamb rolls, fat beef rolls, jellyfish shreds, black balls, black eggs, braised paws, and pour a spoonful of beef broth! ”
"Mazz, Mazz! Mazi rice balls, hot mazz sticks, and grilled mazzi are all available! ”
"Mashed potatoes, chips, fried chicken, cold beer."
"Kebabs, skewers!!" .......
Countless street stalls seem to converge into a food street, offering some hot food that is available on earth or not.
Most of these are synthetic foods that are not rich in nutrients, but they taste basically the same.
Looking closer, the food is good, and the color is purer than the street food on the earth, and the thick aroma of meat and chives spreads along the air.
Zorro swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked around, and his hungry stomach made him finally choose a street stall with vegetables that served food.
"Guest! Fragrant white rice with fresh ingredients! The chef's hat vendor greeted Zorro with a smile on his face.
Three of the four seats in front of the stall have been occupied, and two black men and a girl dressed in a somewhat revealing dress sit respectively.
Zorro had already set his sights on the price list posted between the two support columns, and began to quickly filter the categories and prices.
Good guys, so expensive!
Stir-fried vegetables for 6 fama! The rice is even more outrageous, asking for a bowl of 9 fama, but the amount is okay.
Zorro looked at the price of the food painfully, and reluctantly ordered today's meal,
"Stir-fried greens, dry pot chicken...... Forget it, I can't afford it, sweet potato vermicelli, Luyin... What is this, also give me a copy. ”
Sweet potato vermicelli and luyi should be synthetic foods, and the price is very low, while the price of dry pot chicken is 15 fatama, and Zorro, who is strapped for cash, really can't get his hands on it.
There is a shortage of money, Zorro can't help but sigh.
If he spent so much money on every meal, he would have to eat nearly 10 livres a month, and he only had more than 20 livres on him in total, which he still picked from the old ghost.
After ordering, he sat down on one of the remaining chairs in front of the street stall table, "Boss, eat here." ”
"Good guest, a total of 1 farr plus 7 fama!"
"Yes."
Zorro nodded, painedly pulled 2 Farr out of his pocket and handed 2 Farr over. Recovered 3 Fama.
I saw the vendor wearing a white chef's hat neatly filling the plate with three bowls of dishes, then filling a large bowl with a full bowl of rice, and finally introducing a small spoonful of hot beef broth in the center.
Of course, the soup is free.
Perhaps because of the extreme lack of food, the world's food culture seems to be particularly fond of soup, and after making a dispensable discovery, Zorro first took two mouthfuls of the rice.
Lu Wing is not the chicken wing food that Zorro imagined, but a synthetic fish food, which is very chewy when dried and cooked, and with the sauce, Zorro finally came to a conclusion - barely qualified.
..............
On the sidewalk, Zorro reads a roadside electronic display.
Not long ago, he had stumbled upon several electronic displays in the area. A blue-haired woman in a cargo uniform selects content on one of the touchscreens.
Because of his shabby dress, Zorro, who made up his mind to ask women in uniform, was successfully ignored.
He had no choice but to stand quietly aside, familiar with the function of this touch screen through the operation of the young woman, while revealing a sudden appearance.
This feeling was like a dirt bun entering the city, and everything was fresh, and Zorro even keenly observed a look of disgust on the face of the blue-haired woman.
Such a discovery left Zorro speechless for a while.
Waiting for the blue-haired woman to leave, with no one in front of him, Zorro walked over to the touchscreen after reviewing the steps in his mind.
"Fortunately, there was a literacy enlightenment."
Zorro couldn't help but sigh, if he couldn't read the text after crossing, he would still reason with someone.
The LCD screen is draped in pure white walls, as if as thin as a piece of paper, and it is impossible to tell whether it is embedded or wall-mounted.
On the projection with an area of half a square, more than a dozen functional patterns are neatly arranged, and the Hebrew text corresponds to the bottom.
"Recruitment of talents, apartment rental, office rental, factory rental, taxi, suspension train ticket purchase, float boat ticket purchase, hospital registration, genetic modification, criminal bounty network ......"
The further back you look, the more you can't understand it.
However, this did not affect his operation, he stretched out his right thumb and pressed it on the rightmost fingerprint.
And then........
"Can't be identified, can't be identified."
"Alarm, alarm. Drip, drip, drip. ”
???
Zorrolen in place.
Just twenty seconds later, a guard of the order, who had been standing on the side of the street, armed with a stun baton, arrived.
"You are suspected of violating the law, now come with me to the police station."
The black rank-keeper, who was 1.9 meters tall, looked at him condescendingly, and then tied Zorro with a pair of stainless steel handcuffs.
Just five minutes later, Zorro was sent into a five-seater maglev police car.
Soon, the police car started up, carrying the nervous Zorro, and began to drag along the line of the police car paved with magnet devices.
The speed of the car is fast, countless high-rise buildings pass by, and the scenery on both sides is changing rapidly, and Zorro is expected to drive at around 300km/h, but it is quite steady.
I don't know what will happen.
Although it should only be a matter of identity, Zorro is anxious, and he still carries a gun in his underwear pocket, and it is unclear if there will be other problems.
The orderkeepers of this world always give him the impression of being insecure. This is the memory of the predecessor, the understanding of the world.
The process didn't last long, and when the hovering police car began to slow down until it came to a standstill, another man in police uniform in the back seat ceremoniously stepped out of the car, opened his door at the same time, and ordered Zorro to get out of the car.
Then, the man in the police uniform took the lead in walking towards the police station with the LCD face of "Baowei District Police Station".
People have to bow their heads under the eaves.
Zorro honestly got out of the car and followed the man in the police uniform into the not-so-spacious Orderkeeper's Hall.
The hall was quiet, and there were four police officers, two of whom were supposed to be civilians, and the other two, who were sitting relatively idle.
The man in the police uniform walked over briskly and saluted one of the women in the police uniform who was sipping hot coffee.
"That's it, Sister Anna."
"Okay, let's leave it at that."
The female officer nodded, placing the coffee tray in her hand on the work table, her lips open red.
Blonde hair and gray eyes, plump figure, convex and backward, there seem to be lumpy muscles faintly exposed under the open clothes, and the height after standing up is estimated to be one meter eight, just like a King Kong Barbie.
Sexy!
It was Zorro's first thought, but he quickly became honest.
Because when he glanced in front of the latter, an inexplicable premonition of death filled his brain again, instantly extinguishing the fire in his heart.
"Just put the backpack here, come with me."
Anna's face flashed with a hint of danger, and she turned around, twisting her round buttocks that could not be concealed by her meticulous police uniform, and paced in front of the closed wall.
This is?
Zorro noticed the tiny dividing lines in the center of the metal wall, as well as an LCD screen the size of a human face on the right.
Anna walked up to the LCD screen and aimed her face at the outline of the face in the center of the screen.
"Face check complete."
"Didi Di √."
Soon, a mechanical and cold sound sounded from inside the screen, and blue lines of lightning began to flicker and connect on the lines of the metal wall.
Then, with a "snort", a gap suddenly tore open in the center of the wall, extending to both sides without delay, and soon a two-meter-wide interior space appeared.
After looking through the transparent glass on both sides, Zorro deduced that this should be an interrogation and torture room.
"Boom," he swallowed.
Isn't it a bit of a fuss to just involve the issue of identity?
He quickly lowered his head and obediently followed Anna, acting as if he was fully cooperating with the investigation.
Anna walked over to one of the interrogation rooms and repeated the same gesture.
Soon, the mechanical door next to the glass window also responded, revealing a square passage that was one person high and two people wide.
"Take it easy, kid, it's not too much of a problem."
Anna turned around and said to Zorro, whose face was unnaturally restrained, "Your identity chip can't be used in Sleepless City, just re-record a message and you're good to go." ”
"I'll cooperate, officer."
Zorro nodded and hurriedly followed, sitting on a stool that rose automatically at Anna's instructions.
"Well, you're supposed to be new here, and you have a nice face."
Anna stretched a little idlely, her pale gray eyes lingering on Zorro's face for a while, "There are a lot of people who come to Sleepless City every year, and there are just as many people like you who don't have the identity of Sleepless City, so these procedures can also be handled in the police department." ”
I see, Zorro nodded abruptly, relaxed his somewhat tense spirit, and stretched his legs.
"Okay, just answer truthfully." Anna was impatient to select the touch panel on the interrogation table, and a green light curtain popped up on the table.
"Name."
"Zorro Diop."
"Gender."
"Male ......."
With such obvious facial features, can it still be a woman? Zorro couldn't help but complain.
"Don't get distracted, next question, date of birth."
"311 Hebrew New Calendar, February 23."
"Okay, the filing is complete. Turn your face over and press your thumb here to change the identity on the chip. ”
Zorro followed the instructions and put his head on the light curtain, his thumb close to the fingerprint pattern on the interrogation table, and soon, the system made a "Didi" sound, and a green tick appeared above the light curtain.
"After the identity registration is completed, no other problems have been found, you can go."
Anna turned the system off and quickly got up.
It's that simple?
Zorro was rejoicing when Anna suddenly leaned into Zorro's ear, and a wave of heat gushed out.
"That's right."
She poked the mechanical pistol in the inner pocket with her hand, "A word of caution, don't try to make trouble in the Nightless City, it will leave you dead with no scum left." ”
Almost the moment she finished speaking, a trace of cold sweat broke out on Zorro's forehead, and a storm surged in his heart.
After coming out of the hidden inner room, Anna gracefully returned to her seat, picked up the coffee plate by herself, and ignored Zorro, who was keeping a certain distance from her.
Of course, Zorro didn't want to stay in the police station for a long time, so he picked up his bag and hurriedly walked out.
