153 Crystal Palace is extraordinary
In the huge glass building of the undersea store, Lupin is browsing the online mall.
"Measured by the most basic food, the price of daily necessities here is significantly higher than that of Dream Weaving City, which should be due to the higher production costs of various cities under the sea......
"However, the price of special products at the transcendent level, such as some underwater mechanical prostheses or genetic potions, is similar to that of Spark Mall! Most of the genetic potions are also 1 million copies, and they also come with technical support for the rollback serum. However, there seem to be more types of sea creatures in the genetic potions here. ”
Lupin had already seen several genetic potions, which made him a little excited.
But he looked at his electronic account and was a little helpless, and the balance of his crystal coins was -500.
When I came here, I didn't make a penny, so I rented a wetsuit on credit in advance and became a negative equity!
"A set of diving suits is about tens of thousands of yuan, even if Ge Xu's scuba suit is better, it will be worth sixty or seventy thousand yuan if it is sold." Lupin thought to himself, "I want to buy a bottle of genetic potion, even if I sell Ge Xu's diving suit, it won't be useful......
"I have some valuable things on me, such as Lingxi alloy, and a protective force field for ultra-high-power large-scale equipment...... It's just that it's still useful for me to keep these things for myself! And even if you don't use it, it's too eye-catching for an ordinary person to sell this kind of thing. ”
According to the description of the "Life Handbook", as long as an ordinary person works hard in the Crystal Palace, then food and clothing are not a problem, but it is difficult to buy extraordinary goods to arm himself, I am afraid that at least save money for more than ten years.
Lupin was thinking about whether to simply take on the form of a fishman and re-register as a resident of the Crystal Palace in the form of a transcendent.
After all, as a transcendent, hunt the undead and so on...... The speed of making money is much faster than ordinary people doing ordinary jobs such as mining.
Lupin was thinking.
Suddenly, I saw the street outside change color.
It's not just the streets...... In fact, the lighting system of the entire Crystal Palace has changed from a blue-green hue to a flickering red!
Even if the seabed cannot sound the alarm that rings through the sky like a city on the ground, just this change in ambient lighting has also caused a suppressed and tense atmosphere to envelop the entire underwater city in an instant.
The large screen projected by the virtual suddenly appeared in the sea above the entire city, prompting all citizens who were swimming to immediately return to the nearest building.
"What's going on?"
"Why is there a sudden city-wide alarm?"
"My family is still outside...... This way! This way! Come on in! ”
The glass mall, where Lupin is located, is one of the larger buildings in the neighborhood, and many pedestrians who are leisurely "strolling" on the nearby underwater streets are rushing to this side in panic.
"This star really wants to retire"
They swam to the huge circular doorway at the bottom of the mall, and then crawled into the mall dripping with water, like a pool of boiling frogs!
People who were already in the mall hurriedly stepped back to make room for the newcomers to stand.
At this time, Lu Ping had also woken up Chu Zixue and asked silently in his heart.
"Is this a common occurrence?"
Chu Zixue looked left and right like a ghost, and his expression became solemn: "No, it's not common at all...... This is the highest level of alert, and is only triggered when there is a situation that threatens the security of the entire city, such as an undersea volcanic eruption, an attack by the undead, or something else. ”
"The police are coming." Lupin squinted his eyes and saw a pitch-black submersible shaped like a crab on the street corner not far away, which seemed to turn out slowly.
The submersible actually drove straight towards this mall.
Soon stopped, a team of heavily armed Crystal Palace policemen jumped out of it, and the leader shouted: "Who is Lupin!" Who is Ge Xu?! ”
Lupin was stunned!
"Looking for the two of us?"
The policemen, who had some kind of instrument in their hands, quickly located Lupin's location through the identity chip, directly separated the crowd, grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back, and handcuffed him with metal hands.
"Come with us." So said the cops.
Lupin was a little baffled, but fortunately, as long as he wanted to, he could easily break free at any time, and at this time he was more curious about what was going on, so he didn't resist, and was escorted into the crab-shaped submersible by several policemen.
A moment later.
The Crab submersible made its way to a taller glass building, and Lupin and Ge Xu were escorted out of the small door at the top to a bright and clean hall.
"How many of them are there?" Lupin saw at a glance that there were several other shipwreck survivors who had registered with him as new residents of the Crystal Palace!
The old man Bai Bin, who fired the flare gun, was also handcuffed with a stunned face.
Lupin also noticed that there were also some figures standing in the hall whose bodies were obviously different from ordinary people, some with metal fins or mechanical chelicera, and some with fish scales, tentacles, suction cups and other features.
Apparently transcendent!
At the head of them was a woman in a red suit, with delicate facial features and a bumpy figure, but she was dressed in a more androgynous style, looking at these new Crystal Palace residents seriously.
She held a black box in her hand and shook it.
"Who is this thing?" The woman in red said coldly.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Soon after you arrived, this was discovered somewhere on the ocean floor at the edge of the Crystal Palace, and this thing is a precision sonar that transmits enough signals to penetrate nearly a thousand meters of water and reach the surface...... At the same time, the patrol team also found a signal converter in the wreckage of the fishing boat on the sea!
"The sonar signal, after being received by the converter, is obviously converted into a radio signal and transmitted to a further place...... The content is also very simple, it is to broadcast the location of the Crystal Palace! ”
On the system interface...... Chu Zixue's face changed.
"Broadcast the location of the Crystal Palace?" He muttered, "Among these people...... I'm afraid there are spies sent by Sea King City. ”
Lupin silently asked in his heart: "Is it troublesome that the location of the Crystal Palace is exposed?" ”
"The Crystal Palace has existed on the seabed of the East China Sea for so many years, and naturally has a unique way of surviving, and it is not a particularly serious problem for the location to be exposed...... Because the Crystal Palace is not a fixed underwater city, but a very convenient place to move!
"If there is a crisis, it is natural to move, and even if there is no crisis, the Crystal Palace will move every once in a while, so the coordinates are constantly changing.
"Regular migrations follow certain patterns, but this pattern can only be mastered by the members of the remnant organization...... But now the emergency migration caused by this sudden crisis does not follow the law...... However, after the fact, it will return to the regular route as soon as possible. ”
"So now the whole city is on the alert, is it about to move?" Lupin asked.
"Possibly." Chu Zixue nodded, "But now you are all regarded as potential spies, if you can't prove your innocence, I'm afraid you won't be brought together ......"
At this time, the outside world.
The woman in red really didn't look good.
"The person who placed the black box, who are you working for? To whom is the signal transmitted, and what are your plans? Tell it honestly, otherwise, we won't have no way. She motioned for a girl with jellyfish's tentacle-like hair behind her to step forward.
The girl came up humming a song and walking up with her eyes closed, her hair began to shimmer with dreamy colors, and her fibrous tentacles floated as if in the water.
