Under the cover of their new identities and new costumes, Zhu Ping'an, Laura, and the three spirits took the official route and took the plane of the World Airlines, and finally arrived at the destination of their trip, the capital of the ancient oriental kingdom of Hua, which has a long history.

After the plane landed, Zhu Ping'an realized how serious the air pollution in the capital was. Although it was just past the afternoon, the surrounding smog and dust had already reached the point of obscuring the sky, making the day as dark as the evening.

Under the guidance of ground staff, many passengers disembarking from the plane wear special anti-smog helmets, pass through the safe passage, go down to the waiting room of the underground airport, and then be transported by the unified subway to the node of the safe underground transportation network.

According to the arrangement of the airport, they took the subway to the convergence of the underground transportation network, successfully passed the security check, and after returning the anti-smog helmet, they officially set foot on the land of the capital, no, strictly speaking, they stepped on the underground of the capital...... It's kind of ground.

I wish them peace and they came out of the underground traffic convergence station of the airport and went straight onto the street, which is very different from the sparsely populated situation on the ground, and it is completely a prosperous scene with brilliant lights.

"This is the true appearance of the city of Beijing," Xuanwu explained to Zhu Ping'an on the side: "Because the air pollution in the capital has been serious enough to affect people's normal study, work and travel, Huaguo has established a huge commercial distribution area and traffic control area under the capital, so that those already hopeless industrial, chemical, mechanical, electronic, On the other hand, a series of facilities and industries that affect people's normal food, clothing, housing and transportation are fully rolled out in this underground city. ”

"Why doesn't the Chinese government try to clean up the pollution, and let some of the actions that exacerbate the pollution continue?" asked Suzaku.

"The Chinese government has never stopped tackling pollution, but there are some things that are far beyond human control. Xuanwu replied: "On the one hand, the rapid growth of economic construction and development and the urgent need for people's happiness, on the other hand, the aggravation and deterioration of the natural environment and people's inflated ambition to pursue profits, the whole country is eager for quick success, and the control and investment in pollution are a drop in the bucket, far from stopping the frenzy brought to the country and the people by the rise in GDP indicators." As a result, the people are rich and the country is rich, but the capital of the country is almost gone. This capital is one of the 10 most inhospitable cities in the world announced by the world coalition government last year. Xuanwu said the mystery of the capital.

"Then did they end up with a fish or a bear's paw?" Listening to Xuanwu's words, Zhu Ping'an looked at the bustling flow of people on the street and muttered in his mouth.

"In this underground city, private transport is not allowed because of the smog on the ground, so there are only two regular ways of transportation, one is the subway with the transportation network, and the other is the human scooter, and other than that, you have to walk. Xuanwu told everyone.

"The two you mentioned are not as fast as I am!" exclaimed the White Tiger.

"There's no way, follow the customs, besides, we dressed up in disguise this time and changed our identities to finally come here, but we can't lose a big one because of a small thing, things that are too eye-catching and eye-catching are absolutely forbidden. Xuanwu glanced around at everyone present, Ping An and Laura nodded in understanding, Suzaku did not express an opinion, and Baihu glanced at it.

"It's not an option to stand like this, let's find a place to sit down and think about it in the long run. Zhu Ping'an suggested, and everyone agreed. So, everyone walked some distance forward, came to a nearby café, and found a more secluded and soundproof place to sit down. After ordering a few random things, everyone sat together and discussed the next trip.

"But, Lord Xuanwu, how can we find Lord Qinglong, is he really in this capital?" asked Laura first.

"Laura, are you questioning Xuanwu's technological means and intelligence network?" said White Tiger smiled.

"No, how dare I question Lord Xuanwu, it's just that it's hard to imagine that Lord Qinglong would actually live in such an environment with a child. Laura said, looking at the underground city outside the glass.

"It's called the big hidden in the city. Suzaku interjected.

Listening to everyone's words, Xuanwu smiled slightly: "Actually, I don't know the exact location of the green dragon. ”

"What?" the crowd was amazed.

"Hey, Xuanwu, are you mistaken, run away with us!"

"Mr. White Tiger, I believe that Mr. Xuanwu must have brought us here for a reason. Zhu Ping'an persuaded and looked back at Xuanwu.

Xuanwu smiled again: "Don't worry, everyone, although I don't know the whereabouts of Qinglong yet, I know where to find Qinglong?"

"Do you remember that Qinglong has a son named Qilin?" asked Xuanwu everyone, and everyone nodded.

"The child had a disease that caused the body to lose sensation little by little, become stiff and weak, until finally the cells and tissues of the whole body failed and died. Xuanwu said.

"ALS?" Suzaku knew about the disease.

"Hmm," Xuanwu replied. "That's right, it's ALS. ”

"But how do you know that Qinglong's son has ALS?" asked Baihu in surprise.

"Actually, I knew it for a long time. When his son was born, the child's mother died due to an accident, in order to ensure his son's health, I asked my subordinates to do a comprehensive physical health test for his son, and found this latent lesion in the genetic spectrum, Qinglong himself knew about it at that time. "Xuanwu told the truth. "Therefore, I can easily tell that Qinglong, in order to treat his son's illness and prolong his life, will definitely come to the capital every year to buy a medicine called Yu Lan liquid, which cannot completely cure his child's illness, but it can also slow down to a great extent. ”

"Do you want to come here to buy medicine for the sake of your son?" Suzaku pondered.

"This kind of drug, which is a high-end controlled drug exclusive to the state, is only sold to a small number of people every year, and it will only be bought and sold through the black market during this time period. Xuanwu continued.

"In other words, as long as we find a black market merchant who sells this medicine, we will have a chance to meet the Qinglong who came to buy the medicine!" Zhu Ping'an finally figured it out.

"Yes. Xuanwu nodded and replied: "I have lived and worked in this city for a while, and I have some eyeliner and acquaintances, and I hope to find clues through them." ”

"You work here? You haven't told us before. Suzaku looked at Xuanwu and asked.

"That was a long time ago, and I didn't want to talk about it for a long time. Xuanwu said to Suzaku with a smile.

Suzaku also smiled after hearing this, put his hands behind his head, leaned back in the chair and leaned back, and said with words: "Understood!"

"What are you talking about?" Bai Hu was very unhappy when he saw the mysterious appearance of these two people.

"Now, let's get to work. "I don't want to waste time.

"Okay, let's do a little bit about it. Xuanwu said the plan he had already thought of in his heart: "I'll go to some acquaintances I know who are wandering the black market to see if I can get some clues through this path; Suzaku will use your stealth and mobility skills to go to the government and relevant departments to find out about the shipment of medicines; as for Ping'an, the three of you will go and find a place to stay first, and then we will return here before dinner to meet." ”

"Why don't you let me go with you, but leave me here to standby?" Baihu was very dissatisfied with Xuanwu's arrangement.

"Because I know that you are a white tiger, and the place I am going to is not suitable for you, according to your stinky temper, if you make a fuss, our plans will be all in vain!" Xuanwu knew the white tiger's fiery temper very well.

Although Baihu was very angry when he heard this, he reluctantly accepted this possibility, his face was crooked, and he said very unhappily: "Okay, okay, I'll stay." ”

"Mr. Xuanwu, then let me go with you. Zhu Ping'an asked.

Xuanwu glanced at Zhu Ping'an and nodded: "Okay, but everything has to listen to me when you get there." ”

"Hmm. Zhu Ping'an nodded in understanding.

"Peace, I'll go with you. Laura said, taking Ping'an's hand.

"Ahem!" White Tiger coughed a few times on the side, and Laura quickly blushed and let go of her hand embarrassedly.

Ping An smiled at her: "Laura, you better stay, I'm just an acquaintance who went to meet Mr. Xuanwu, you don't have to worry about me." Besides, if Mr. Baihu is here alone, I don't think you will be at ease. The implication is that I am afraid that the character of the white tiger will cause trouble.

"Master, don't worry, I, White Tiger, promise to be safe and secure. The white tiger tied his arms, pulled out his posture, clenched his fists, and hurriedly expressed his attitude to Ping'an.

Ping'an and Laura looked back at the image of the white tiger, and Laura turned her head and said to Ping'an: "I understand, I will take care of the white tiger, but you must be careful." ”

"Well, I'll take care of myself. Ping An comforted Laura.

"Hey, Laura, what do you mean by that?" the white tiger seemed to react a little, and said dissatisfiedly to Laura, who turned back and smiled at him.

"Let's hurry up and get started now. Zhu Ping'an suggested.

Everyone looked at each other, nodded, and started their respective trips in batches as planned. After everyone left, only Laura and White Tiger were left in the café.

"Then, Lord White Tiger, let's also find a place to stay. Laura said to the White Tiger.

The white tiger pursed his mouth and had a gloomy face: "I'm very angry, and my heart is not happy." ”

Laura smiled at him and said, like a child, "And what do you want?"

The white tiger held back for a long time, pulled his neck and suddenly shouted: "Waiter, I want a king-sized ice cream!" ......

Xuanwu and Ping'an all the way, the two took the subway to the edge of the underground city, and Suzaku took the subway in the opposite direction towards the city center.

Let's talk about Xuanwu and Ping'an first, they quickly reached the edge of the underground city by subway, which is the end of the subway transportation network. After Zhu Ping'an got off the bus, he found that this area was still different from the bustling area in the city center.

It was like a dilapidated slum, and in the damp and dark narrow aisles, there were many people lying on the walls on either side, all of them with mud-stained, skinny, sickly yellow faces, and frighteningly sunken eyes. When Xuanwu and Ping'an walked past them, some people stared at them with helpless eyes, some stretched out their hands like beggars, and even hugged their legs, so frightened that Zhu Ping'an hurriedly trotted all the way through the crowd.

Zhu Ping'an ran a long way, and when he turned around, he found that no one was coming, so he stopped, he looked at those poor people, and asked Xuanwu: "How can this place be so depressed, just like a refugee camp and a disaster area?"

"People with jobs and money live in bustling dungeons, but people without jobs and money have to survive. Xuanwu told Ping'an: "These people are all victims of pollution, most of them used to live in other cities adjacent to the capital, because of the pollution had to leave their homes, rich and powerful people live in underground cities or distant cities where pollution cannot spread, the government can't bear to let them die on it, so they are all taken in the underground city, but there is no way to properly resettle them, because the city is already overcrowded." Therefore, these people who do not have the identity of the capital are arranged to live on the edge of the dungeon. They have no money, no jobs, they dare not go to the ground, they can't go to the city, they struggle with hunger, disease and crime every day, and they stay here just to survive. ”

"It turns out that there is such a decaying side behind the seemingly prosperous underground capital. Zhu Ping'an sighed, and there were more feelings in his life.

At this moment, a figure popped out of another alley, it was a child about six or seven years old, not tall, but fast. He was dressed in tattered mud-stained clothes, with a bun in his mouth, and a bun in his left and right hands, and ran forward desperately, and the mud on his messy hair was splashed in all directions. And behind him, a tall fat man, with a scruffy beard and a meaty face, strode after him, holding a wooden stick in his hand, and shouted: "Stinky thief, stop me!"

When the boy heard the shouting, he ran a few steps, stopped and turned around and grimaced at the fat man behind him, and when he turned around again, the bottom of the shoe on his foot was suddenly broken, and he stepped on the mud floor, and one slipped and fell with a "plop" and a dog gnawed on the mud. The fat man took advantage of this opportunity to run a few steps, rushed forward, stepped on the boy's back, and smashed the wooden stick in his hand towards the boy's head, scolding in his mouth: "Stinky thief, I'll let you steal my buns!"
