In the final analysis, Meng Lei and his entourage entered the city this time, and they were actually smuggled in.

In the face of a total lockdown, it was possible to sneak in, all thanks to the release of the two security officers who had accepted bribes.

Although, such an act does not constitute any crime.

But after all, it is on the land of the Moken family, and once it is found, there will inevitably be some trouble.

Therefore, if everyone gathers together to act together, in Meng Lei's view, it will be a bit too ostentatious.

In order to keep a low profile, it is better to act separately.

"If you're looking for a guide......

In the face of Meng Lei's inquiry, Hans scratched his head, and after a little muttering, he said:

"When I came here with the bounty fleet before, I was always a guide that the captain had contacted in advance, and I rarely looked for ready-made ones in the local area, and I didn't know where the guides who were familiar with the route were hiding, but ......"

Speaking of this, Hans changed his words and continued:

"However, the bars in Modo City are usually the most well-informed places, and it should be rewarding to ask there."

"Bar ......"

Hearing this, Meng Lei nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that not only Blue Star's bar is an important source of information for the local intelligence network, but also on Alien.

Especially in this chaotic place, the bar is the center of all kinds of information.

"So, what's the biggest bar in Modo City?"

Modo City can be called the Little Demon Capital, in addition to the chaos, it is also a drunken gold cave, and it is a well-known extravagant place in the 66671 channel.

There must be more than one place like a bar.

Since you want to inquire about the news, it is naturally the best one to go to the largest business.

"The biggest bar......" Hans didn't hesitate this time, obviously very familiar with the bars here, and almost blurted out: "That's Soho Bar, of course!" ”

"Soho bar?"

Hearing this, Meng Lei was suddenly stunned.

He was no stranger to the name, having heard it not long ago, when the middle-aged security officer had invited him over for a drink after the changing of the guard.

"Yes, the Soho Bar at the intersection of Dwight Avenue and Wendoco Avenue is the largest bar in Modo, and it is not much different from the Coco Bar in Syre City, most of the pirates and bounty hunters will go there to spend some money after making money, if you want to ask for information, the Soho Bar is definitely a good place to go."

Talking about the Soho Bar, Hans seemed a little excited, as if he was full of yearning and a sense of aftertaste.

Meng Lei smiled slightly, waved his hand and said:

"Okay, since you've said so, let's start with Soho Bar and see if we can find the right person."

As he spoke, Meng Lei turned to look at Zhang Chao on the side and explained:

"You take a team of people to the shipyard to consult about submarine maintenance and other matters, we will go our separate ways, and after we have negotiated, we will come to the bar to meet and discuss the next step."

"Yes!"

Zhang Chao nodded emphatically and asked Hans carefully about the specific route to the shipyard.

Subsequently, the team that had just entered the city was divided into two groups.

One team, led by Zhang Chao, walked briskly in the direction of the shipyard, while the other team followed Meng Lei and continued along the deserted metal corridor towards the Soho Bar.

The personnel who entered the city this time, including Meng Lei, were a total of sixteen people, most of whom were core members of the Chongming fleet and had a high combat quality.

Even if you encounter an emergency, you can deal with it calmly.

However, before separating, out of safety considerations, Meng Lei made another special admonition.

If you encounter a strange phenomenon that you can't handle, don't panic, and on the premise of ensuring the safety of the team, rush to the bar as soon as possible to join the large army.

Eventually, at the gate of the large gate leading to the inner city area, the two groups parted ways.

Meng Lei led Hans and Huo Ye and his party to turn around from the outer passage, and finally came to the interior of Modo City.

As soon as you enter, the smell of the sea mixed with the stench of decay is like smoke.

Obviously, the air quality in the city is not much better than that of the dockyard, so it can be inferred that the environment in the city is not necessarily much better.

Meng Lei called on everyone to be vigilant, and under the guidance of Hans, led the crowd into the city.

When you get here, the number of pedestrians gradually increases, and finally it is no longer as deserted as the outer area.

It's just that the passers-by I saw along the way didn't seem to be in a very good mental state.

Not only is his face extremely bad, but his movements are like the walking dead, very stiff and slow, and he is also extremely numb to the external environment, like a psychopath living in his own imaginary world, and is not interested in anything other than himself.

Along the way, Meng Lei saw a lot of such people.

Under the tall and precise metal dome, there seemed to be a thick cloud of melancholy, enveloping every corner of Modo City, making the whole city seem lifeless and seriously lacking in vitality.

"It's so much worse than I imagined, it's like the slums in the lower part of Ciel City."

Walking on a damp, muddy metal floor.

Withered seaweed mixed with gravel, and rotting fish that occasionally appear in the field of vision, are scattered all around the city.

Meng Lei frowned slightly, and due to the environment, even his mood was much worse.

"It used to be very clean, and it was cleaned regularly every day to prevent bacteria from breeding and causing hidden health hazards to the residents, and the reason why it became like this ......"

Hans sighed, looked at the metal sky dozens of meters above his head, and said in a deep voice:

"This must have been caused by the earthquake, coupled with the influence of hallucinations, and the lack of manpower in the city for reconstruction work, which caused the former little devils to become like this.

However, after all, it is still in the outer area, and even before the flood, it was a place where the low-level residents lived.

By the time we get to the inner center, things should get a little better. ”

Meng Lei shook his head helplessly, did not answer, and continued to move towards the depths of the city in silence.

The architectural environment and style of Modo City were different from any other city Meng Lei had visited before, such as Sil City and even the Molten Outpost.

The cities stand in the cavities of the vast rock formations, which belong to the integrated architectural style, and from the heights, the whole city can be seen at a glance.

The city of Modo, on the other hand, is made up of scattered domes and angular Fauvist grandiose buildings.

Each other is connected by numerous large metal channels.

These passages are the main transportation routes of the city, and no matter which area you go to, you have to pass through one gate after another.

The most important thoroughfares, like ordinary streets, have been given special names.

Examples include Dwight Avenue and Wendoko Avenue, as well as Arthur Avenue and Holiness Avenue.

Hans and the others walked all the way through the passages, passing through Carpenter Street and Wenry, and walked from east to west for no less than twenty minutes.

Finally, after passing through the gate at the end of the passage of Wensi, I came to the central area of Modo City.

The moment the floodgates opened, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up.

Gone are the domed ceilings of various sizes, replaced by a colorful neon sky.

Tall cylindrical buildings line the center of the city, interspersed with complex and dense air corridors, among which a large number of figures can be seen shaking.

Chaotic and noisy shouts are endless, and all kinds of advertising slogans and deafening music fill every corner.

Nestled in the heart of the hydrothermal wasteland, this city of magic finally shows its vibrant side, which is dazzling.

It's just that you can find it when you look up at the sky.

Behind the neon-lit metal sky, there were plenty of obvious signs of repair, and in some places, you could even see columns of water dripping like hanging fountains.

The various billboards on the top of those buildings also show varying degrees of damage.

Yes, there are still flashing dazzling electric sparks, like fireworks.

The deck floor here is also tidal, but much cleaner than in the outer areas.

At least on the surface, there are no stinking rotting corpses and rotting seaweed.

But in the corners of the city, the shadows of these debris can still be vaguely seen, obviously not cleaned up.

"The aged tea salvaged from the wreck is sold cheaply, it is genuine, and you want to buy it as soon as possible!"

"If you want to go to the Barona Colony to participate in the Swift Dragon Competition, come and see, the fresh dragon eggs have arrived, and they will not wait!"

……

There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the business scope is very extensive, and the merchants are enthusiastic to greet passers-by.

Here, you can see a lot of guys in strange costumes, dressed very rough and unusual, wandering the streets in groups of three or five, constantly going in and out of various shops.

These people, apparently either bounty hunters or pirates, are the main group that roams the area.

Meng Lei took a deep breath and was slightly shocked.

The gloomy clouds on the periphery of the city, as if they had not penetrated here, were a prosperous and lively scene.

"Little Demon Capital, worthy of its name, even if it has just experienced an earthquake and flood, it is still so prosperous, even if the lockdown has not affected the economic development of the core area."

Huo Ye looked around blankly, and couldn't help but sigh in his mouth.

The rest of the group was also bright-eyed, amazed by the sight of the city center, and full of desire to explore.

Meng Lei was the first to react, although he was very curious about the things sold in the street shops and wanted to patronize them, but he kept in mind the tasks and goals of this trip and did not want to waste precious time.

At that moment, Meng Lei turned sideways slightly and whispered to a few people:

"When we're done with business, let's take a good walk around the city, and now, let's go to the bar to find out the situation."

"Yes!"

Hearing this, everyone put away their emotions and nodded in agreement.

"Captain, come, come this way!"

As a living map of everyone, Hans has been leading the way in the front, and at the same time does not forget to introduce Meng Lei.

"The gate in front is the entrance to Dwight Avenue, and further north of Dwight Avenue is Wendoko Street, and the Soho Bar is just around the corner from the entrance to Wendoke Street, and you can see it when you go out."

Meng Lei nodded silently, recalled the route in his heart repeatedly, made a plan, and formed a map engraved in his mind, so as not to lose his way when needed.

Continuing towards their destination, the crowd walked through a variety of different crowds.

Along the way, although they were dressed in uniform and looked very unusual in the crowd, they only attracted some side eyes, and no one took the initiative to find fault or talk to them.

At the same time, the hallucination phenomenon mentioned by the middle-aged security officer does not seem to occur in the crowd.

Everything here seems to be very normal, not like the weird and frequent situation that the middle-aged security officer said.

This made Meng Lei feel a little puzzled.

Could it be that the source of spiritual pollution in the nearby sea has disappeared and will no longer affect Modo City?

With doubts, Meng Lei followed the team and kept advancing.

At a certain moment, when everyone came to the gate near the entrance of Dwight Avenue, Meng Lei, who was thinking about it, was suddenly awakened by a scream.

The voice sounded not far ahead, grim and hoarse.

It was as if a person was enduring torture, and there was a hint of hysteria in his despair.

Meng Lei came back to his senses and hurriedly fixed his eyes.

Outside the gate at the entrance to Dwight Avenue, there was a young man in an electrician's uniform with a tool bag on his shoulder, half-kneeling on the ground and crying, slamming his head frantically against the ground deck.

His expression was painful, as if he had suddenly become ill, and he became desperate and crazy in the stunned eyes of everyone around him.

At the same time, his mouth was still yelling.

"Don't come here, don't come here, get out of here, get out of here!"

Shouting, the man struggled to his feet and rushed desperately towards the floodgates at the entrance to Dwight Avenue.

He walked extremely fast, but staggered, as if something terrible was chasing him behind him.

This sudden scene immediately interrupted everyone's progress.

Meng Lei and his entourage were stunned for a moment, looking at each other, no one knew what was going on.

At this time, in the crowd of people passing around, someone suddenly shouted:

"That guy is hallucinating, he's cursed, there's pollution here, everyone run!"

When the words fell, the crowd that was still bustling at the previous moment suddenly seemed to have a rotten egg erupting, and they scattered in all directions.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the bustling streets were empty, and the crowd of onlookers ran clean.

"I ...... Go...... What's going on?! ”

Meng Lei and the others were also shocked, and they were a little confused for a while.

Meng Lei reacted the fastest, immediately realized something, and immediately pulled everyone out of this area.

At this moment, Meng Lei suddenly felt a trance in front of him, and the surrounding scene was distorted for a moment.

When he looked around again, he suddenly found that the young electrician who had just left had walked out of the gate at the entrance of Dwight Avenue again.

It's just that at this moment, there are some strange changes around him......
