Chapter 5 Residence

Zorro observed the direction of the two, gradually moving away from the dense cluster of high-rise buildings, walking along the block, traffic lights, and overpasses, and after about 20 minutes, the surrounding environment began to become relatively chaotic.

In the dirty streets, the order of the day seems to be less chaotic, but it is subtle, and further west, the high-rise buildings become more and more scarce, showing obvious polarization.

Countless bare rubber cables, trash cans everywhere and garbage rolling nearby, chaotic and crowded houses, abandoned old vehicles, accompanied by noisy noise. On both sides of the street, there are grocery stores, low-quality cosmetics stores, cheap thrift stores, bars, dance halls, rock discotheques, night clubs, hotels and other distinctly marked storefronts.

scantily clad girls wink at men on the side of the road; crowded street stalls, vendors vying for positions; a wandering singer who plays and sings the guitar; Two drunken men scuffle together; There were a few tattooed red-haired and green-haired thugs smoking cigarettes in the light, and Zorro could easily catch a glimpse of what they were talking about.

"Czech, did you get the Fite motorcycle?"

"Odenam, that guy shot too. I guess it's in the soup. ”

"What's that guy doing? Originally, I wanted to borrow it to go to the Black Name Mountain to play. Forget it, it's really disappointing. ”

"Forget it, you can play with those deadly guys?" ...

After two blocks, Zorro made a startling discovery.

The narrow, crisscrossed alleys are filled with grocery stores, shoddy cosmetics stores and cheap thrift stores, all decorated with Chinese lanterns and flashing neon signs, and inhabited by mostly yellow and black people.

At this time, Amy looked around cautiously, "Mr. Zorro, speed up a bit, there are often robberies in this area." ”

Zorro frowned.

The feeling this brought him was just one word, chaos.

"Where is the residential area?" Zorro asked idly.

"Look, look at the housing area of Haugen..... Mr. Zorro, there's an underground passage from where you can access the housing area of Haugen. ”

Following Amy's fingers, he noticed an underground passage covered with tempered glass film marked with the word "D" in a street alleyway.

The residential area of Haugen, underground?

Well, it seems that with his current economic strength, it can only be so.

Zorro's expression was mixed.

At night, it seems that there is no qualification for even a breath of fresh air.

It's ironic that this society has reached this level of inequality between rich and poor.

The two quickly entered the passage.

Inside the passage was a stepped ramp that sloped downward, and the lights in it were a little dim and eerie, and from time to time one or two gangster-looking men passed by, and Zorro used his body to protect Amy.

After walking inward for about a minute, the field of view widens and stretches all the way to form an intricate, narrow passage area.

Nearly 100 meters deeper, Amy stopped in front of an unfinished building, turned inside, and took him to an elevator.

"This is Unit 6 in Hoogen's residential area, and further inside is Unit 5." Amy explained.

"What about your original tenants?" According to Amy's previous statement, their house was vacant for two months, and there should have been tenants before that.

He casually asked questions as he observed.

This elevator is wrapped in iron fences on the front and rear sides, and the other four sides are sealed alloy surfaces, which are full of texture and shape, but it is impossible to find its data access point with the naked eye.

On the right side of the iron fence, there is a red display, with 6 units - 1 layer displayed in the center, and dense digital buttons below.

"Mom said Uncle Kate had something to do and moved out temporarily. Speaking of which, that playful uncle didn't say goodbye to me, he was very nice to me. ”

"Click."

While speaking, Amy was a little sullen, and her little hand pressed on the mechanical button of -20, and the sound of gear clipping sounded inside. The fence closed instantly, and the elevator began to accelerate towards the ground, and the display began to read the current floor.

It didn't take long to get to the designated floor, and the elevator was fast and surprisingly smooth.

"Drip."

When the number jumped to -20, the iron fence of the elevator quickly opened, and Zorro suddenly saw some gray, misty, and chaotic horizontal space inside, extending all the way to the left and into the depths.

Follow Amy out of the elevator, and the sound lights in the corridor instantly turn on. Zorro noticed the drink machine placed in the blind corner on the right, and the dazzling drinks were neatly arranged in a square on the drink holder.

Next to the discarded beverage machine, there are bags of garbage that have been discarded everywhere, and there is a faint stench, as if waiting for the cleaner to clean it up, but it looks like it has been piled up for some time.

"Kick, kick, kick."

The sound of two footsteps, one large and one small, was muffled in the quiet aisle, accompanied by a less obvious echo.

The ground is pitted, and the doors are lined with dense rows, each of which is spaced about 3 meters apart.

In the middle of the door, there are some crooked job advertisements.

For example, a fixed-wage waiter earns about seven farks per hour and has an unstable job. Bar resident singer, bartender without specifying a specific salary. In general, bar residencies are related to technology. As for the bartender, it has little to do with technology, only with charisma.

Maybe..... Can I apply for a job to sing in a bar?

Brother Xun has a saying...

Pretending to be like the wind, always with me.

Isn't it common for time-travelers to steal the lyrics of songs on Earth?

Zorro was seriously thinking about it when Amy suddenly spoke, "Here you go, Mr. Zorro." ”

In front of the door of the room that reads Unit 6 2037, Amy sticks out her right thumb and presses it against the fingerprint unlocker on the doorknob.

"Check complete, door unlocked."

"Didi Di √."

Inside the rusty iron door, the bearings flipped, the gears connected, and then bounced inside with a "click".

In the living room, facing the door of the room, the environment is dark, the thumb-thick all-black fiber optic cable is exposed on the outside of the wall, and some mechanical parts and pipes should have been in disrepair for many years, showing signs of cracking and wear.

With the faint light of the tube, Zorro quickly noticed a dark-skinned middle-aged woman reclining on the living room sofa watching TV.

The woman is white-skinned, and the mother is dark-skinned, so the father should be white-skinned, right?

While Zorro was guessing, Amy had already returned to the room, trotting to the couch, with a small face and a hint of reassurance in her tone, "Mom! ”

"Amy, you're back!" The middle-aged woman seemed to have some inconvenience in her legs and feet, so she propped herself up with her hands and hugged Amy, who rushed over.

"This is Mr. Zorro, and he's here to see the house." Amy Dao.

"Hello, ma'am." Zorro stepped through the door, his eyes met those of the middle-aged woman, and he nodded in politeness.

Inside the room, the air was a little cloudy.

Perhaps because he was underground, there was a hint of coldness on Zorro's elbows and neck, which made him shrink back.

"Sorry, but my legs are inconvenient."

The middle-aged woman smiled apologetically, and her voice was a little dry, "Amy, you can take Mr. Zorro upstairs to have a look." ”

"Uh-huh! Mr. Zorro, please come with me. ”

Zorro nodded, followed Amy, and quickly noticed the stairs in the apartment and went up to the second floor.

"It's a dashboard with all sorts of features enabled."

Amy fumbled around the dimly lit space, pressing the leftmost mechanical button on a control panel-style template. Suddenly, the power was delivered, and the light in the corner of the wall flickered and gradually brightened.

In the rooms on the second floor, beds, sofas, small round tables, toilets, TVs, etc., and simple daily necessities are also provided. The overall structure of the apartment is similar to the loft style, so it is no wonder that he feels that the height of the first floor is a bit low, but this design structure can increase the overall area.

The area of the second floor, according to his eyesight, is about 50 square meters, although the height is shorter, but the usable area is indeed much larger than that of a private apartment at the same price, the space is relatively loose, and the furniture is not too crowded.

How to say it.

Although the surroundings are a bit chaotic, relatively speaking, the room is really good value for money. Don't worry too much about privacy. In addition, judging from Amy's behavior, their family may be having some trouble making ends meet.

This damn sympathy is flooding again.

Zorro had two villains fighting in his mind, and after hesitating for a while to no avail, he turned sideways to notice Amy's pitiful gaze, and his eyes were rippling.

Pinch!

It's about to sprout!

"Okay, I'll talk to your mom first."

"Okay!"

Ground floor living room.

The middle-aged woman had turned off the TV and offered Zorro a cup of hot water,

"Mr. Zorro, if you are interested, the rent is paid from three months for a total of 2 livres, no contract, but no deposit is required. The kitchen is communal, and of course, the gas bill needs to be calculated separately. As for utility bills, both rooms have separate energy meters and are easy to distinguish. ”

Rentals of a private nature should be.... Won't be deceived?

Zorro pinched his chin with his hand, thought about it carefully, and after a moment, he came up with the answer, "Rent for three months first." ”
