Half past seven in the evening.

The entrance to the Soho Bar in the heart of Modo City.

Under the neon glimmer of light, the dark streets are endless, and all kinds of people wander aimlessly on the metal avenue.

Among them, the vast majority of them exuded a strong smell of alcohol all over their bodies, and they fell drunk in the corner.

These people are all drunks who have just come out of the bar.

After the carnival of drunken gold fans, you can experience the emptiness and loneliness that come from the deeper layers of body and mind.

And among these people, it is obvious that there is a group of alternative beings dressed in uniform black uniforms, which is Meng Lei and his party.

In order to save money for Meng Lei, Jia Quan drank a full 5,000 beers in ten minutes according to the rules of Soho Bar, and finally won the information of a guide who is currently stranded in the city and has not gone out.

In fact, people like Jia Quan, Xu Hui, and Huo Ye, these veteran members who had followed Meng Lei since the beginning of the fleet's establishment.

It stands to reason that it will never be worse in terms of treatment.

At the very least, the monthly salary would be at least as high as the commission of Hans and Simon, who hired the crew.

As for the treatment, Meng Lei did discuss with Chen Yu how to divide the treatment of members at all levels of the fleet.

However, the fleet is currently just getting started, everywhere there is money to spend, and the reserve funds are extremely limited.

Huo Ye, Jia Quan and the others naturally knew the current situation of the fleet, and in order to help the fleet reduce its burden, they never took the initiative to ask Meng Lei for anything.

After all, under normal circumstances, they have been on the Sea Locust all the time, and they can be described as eating and drinking.

Even if you have money, you have nowhere to spend it.

In this case, in the end, it was Meng Lei who arranged for Wang Qi, who was in charge of personnel and finance, to transfer some funds to their account in case of emergency, so that they could be regarded as having some spare money on hand.

And this spare money is not enough to pay for the high introduction fee of Soho bars.

Therefore, there was a scene of Rijia fighting wine in the bar just now, which is indeed a bit heart-wrenching.

The dignified 66671 channel is the first fleet veteran composed of Blue Star players, in order to save money, he actually drank his belly like a ball, which also proves from the side how difficult the initial entrepreneurial road was.

In the dim corner of the street and alley, Jia Quan was supported by Huo Ye and others, propped up the graffiti-covered wall with one hand, and squatted in the corner of the wall and vomited wildly.

After a while, the state finally eased up.

He gasped and took out the note that the bartender handed him just now from his pocket, and put it into Meng Lei's hand weakly, gasping:

"Commander, fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, and I got the thing......

Meng Lei raised his hand to take it, took a deep breath, patted Jia Quan's shoulder, and said in a deep voice:

"Good work."

After drinking ten bottles of beer in ten minutes, the intake content of the stomach pouch has almost reached the physiological tolerance limit of most people, and the body has no time to excrete and digest it.

If it weren't for Jia Quan's current appearance, he would just have a simple stomach bloating.

Meng Lei planned to rush him to the hospital in the city as soon as possible, so as not to have physical problems.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Gina, the doctor of the wine Mengzi ship. ….

"It would be nice if Gina was there at this time, she likes to drink or something, and she can definitely enjoy it all at once!"

While thinking, Meng Lei held the note handed over by Jia Quan in his hand, and his eyes subconsciously stared at the past.

Before he could react, distorted pale gold text emerged.

(A slip of paper with an address on it may be helpful.) ）

Seeing this, Meng Lei's expression was stunned.

"The upgraded Goldfinger is really ...... Wonderful...... Whether it's useful or not, anything can give information, and it's extreme enough......

Silently complained, Meng Lei opened the crumpled note.

By holographic projection all around

and the hazy glimmer cast by the neon sign, and looked fixedly.

I saw a line of words written on the slip of paper with messy notes.

"Eastern End, 703 Glenfingley Laneway, 17 Glenfingley Lane, Serge."

The first half is apparently an address, pointing to an alley called Glenflili in the eastern living area of Modo City.

The last two words are obviously a person's name.

Looks like the guide the bartender said.

"Serge ......"

Meng Lei whispered softly, keeping the name firmly in his heart, and at the same time silently remembering the address.

Then, he took out the lighter he usually used to light a cigarette from his pocket, lit the fire, and put the note on it.

A burst of fireworks rose in the dimness of the street, and the note with the guide's home address turned into ashes in an instant, drifting away in the puddle of filth that Jia Quan vomited out.

Some things just need to be remembered, and there is no need to keep any records.

This is important information that Jia Quan has worked hard to get, and if it is stolen for nothing, it will be too much of a loss.

This scenario is not out of the question.

After leaving the bar, Meng Lei felt like he was being targeted, and there seemed to be several pairs of eyes silently watching in the dark.

And a member of the fleet who was a soldier in the entourage also quietly reminded Meng Lei that several guys dressed as pirates had been following them with unknown intentions.

When Meng Lei and his party first arrived in Moduo City, they did not leak money or grudge with others.

If there's one thing that others can covet, it's the guide information that usually requires a lot of money to buy.

Meng Lei and the others did not know much about the situation in Modo City, and they could not rule out the possibility that someone would try to rob the information and resell it.

Therefore, it is better to be on the safe side and burn the note directly and cut off the thoughts of these people.

"Commander, now that the guide's information is available, what should we do next? Negotiate directly with the door or ......"

At this time, Jia Quan's situation has improved, and he no longer needs to be supported.

Huo Ye walked over from the side and asked Meng Lei about his next plans.

Meng Lei leaned against the corner of the street, silently lit a cigarette, and after a moment of silence, he spoke:

"Now the situation on Zhang Chao's side is unknown, and he hasn't come to contact us yet, and I don't know what the specific situation is.

Hallucinations are frequenting in Modo City, and I'm worried that it won't be safe if we continue to split up.

We'd better wait until we're all together, and then we'd better act in unison." ….

The sudden hallucination in the afternoon made Meng Lei vigilant.

If Huo Ye and the others were not followed by him at that time, I am afraid that his fate would not be much better.

At worst, he fell into a severe coma, or at worst, he was swallowed by the cage of illusions and directly became dementia.

Therefore, it is better for all these people who enter the city to stay together, so as not to cause a sudden accident and cannot be rescued in time, which will be a bit troublesome.

You know, it's not hard to see from those previous handbook records.

The occurrence of hallucination phenomena is irregular, and it is possible to be unaware of the hallucinations in any street in the city.

This phenomenon of mental pollution, which has a strong random nature, will bring serious security risks to the troops entering the city.

Meng Lei didn't want to wait for the time to leave, there were a few more dementias in the fleet.

Now the fleet is already understaffed, and any further attrition will be a problem for the return trip.

As for recruiting new crew members, at least he hadn't thought about it at all.

Although Modo City is also an outpost under the jurisdiction of the Alliance, there are also places to recruit crew such as the Talent Market.

But here is a mixture of fish and dragons, and all forces gather together, and it is chaotic.

No one can guarantee that there will be some unknown guys on the ship.

Eugene's front car

The lesson is memorable, and now he does not dare to let his guard down in the matter of crew recruitment.

"Zhang Chao, they have been away for more than four hours, it stands to reason that they should have come out of the shipyard to meet us a long time ago, and now they are delayed, there should be no accidents, right?"

The eternal climate and environment of the city under the sea often make people lose the concept of time.

There are no seasons, no day or night.

As a result, almost every outpost and gathering place has a special sign that uses an electronic clock to remind people of the passage of time.

Looking at the white clock on a black background hanging under a neon sign not far away, the time has become 7:40 p.m.

Huo Ye couldn't help but have a trace of worry on his face, not knowing what had happened to the other team.

Meng Lei also frowned slightly, judging from the time, Zhang Chao and the others should have come over to meet a long time ago.

Although Modo City is extremely vast, and the scale of its buildings is comparable to that of Sil City, it is a flat city after all, and there are no three-dimensional buildings buried deep in the ground.

Even if you go around the city, it will take less than four or five hours.

So, it's hard not to wonder if the other team is in trouble on the road.

"Wait a little longer......

However, since the agreed meeting place is the Soho Bar, it is easier to get separated from the other party if you leave rashly.

Meng Lei finally decided to wait for another twenty minutes.

If Zhang Chao has no news after eight o'clock in the evening, he will leave for the shipyard to investigate.

And through this incident, Meng Lei also realized a little.

It is time to equip some important members of the team with a few more handheld tablets, so as not to encounter this situation again, and the departments cannot communicate in time, thus delaying the big event.

Soon, time passed minute by minute, and twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye. ….

Meng Lei and the others stood in the alley outside the gate of the Soho Bar, watching the crowd of people coming in and out of the bar door one after another, but they never waited for Zhang Chao and others to act separately.

During this period, Meng Lei's handheld tablet rang a total of four times.

Two of the messages were sent by Chen Yu, and the other two were Roger.

Through the content of the reply, Meng Lei finally confirmed his previous guess.

Sure enough, An Ran, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Underworld Fleet, the heroic short-haired strong woman, was indeed trapped in a newly unearthed alien ruin.

According to the latest investigation by the Alliance, it is in another uncharted sea area that is not particularly far from the city of Sil, but it has left the safe passage.

There is a large-scale spiritual pollution relic that has been rare throughout the history of the Alliance.

At that time, on the way back from the North Underworld Fleet, Enron received the shipwreck investigation mission, which happened to be located in that sea area.

It can be seen that Enron's loss of contact must be related to that large alien ruin.

In addition, in order to assist the Northern Underworld Fleet in investigating Enron's accidental disappearance, Chen Yu secretly sent two teams to drive the player's initial wasteland boat to the sea area to search.

Although smuggling has now become a norm, the alliance is also entangled in various things, and there is no time to strictly rectify this phenomenon.

After all, the Chongming Fleet is the largest fleet in the 66671 Channel, and it belongs to the key monitoring objects of the alliance.

On some issues, it is still necessary to pay more attention so as not to stimulate the bottom line of the alliance.

In addition, Meng Lei's voyage this time took away all the ordinary submarines authorized by the alliance of the entire fleet in one fell swoop, and almost emptied the development funds of the fleet.

Therefore, this friendly support investigation mission can only be carried out in a low-key manner in the form of smuggling.

However, the two investigation teams entrusted with the task include the North Fleet itself's own search and rescue force.

Since entering that sea area, it has also sunk into the sea, and no news has come.

At that time, the Coalition's investigative team had not yet arrived in that area, and they were unaware of the excavation of large ruins.

When all the truth is revealed, the number of lost submarines lost in that uncharted sea area has reached hundreds!

Among them, most of them are Blue Star players who are keen to explore and succeed in smuggling.

This incident has caused a huge sensation in the 66671 channel in the past two days, and the top management of the Sil City Alliance had no choice but to urgently issue a blockade order, making that sea area a forbidden area and strictly prohibiting the passage of any ships.

In addition, the alliance also dispatched a group of professional investigation teams from nearby scientific research outposts to carry out search and rescue and exploration missions in the sea area.

Try to uncover the secrets of this ruin and try to search for and rescue the missing ship.

Because the impact of this incident is too huge, it has gone viral in the Blue Star player group, and the alliance can't force the situation down, and they can't cover it up if they want to.

Eventually, news of the existence of an unknown ruin was leaked.

A large number of bounty hunters and large pirate groups from the waterways around Sil City have taken huge risks and frantically gathered at the 66671 waterway, intending to get a piece of the pie before the alliance fully explores the ruins, and realize their dream of getting rich overnight.

It can be said that during the period of Meng Lei's departure, the sea area near the 66671 channel was unprecedentedly lively, and major incidents occurred frequently.

The alien relic that caused the loss of contact with Enron is one of the many major events that has attracted much attention.

After reading these messages, Meng Lei couldn't calm down for a long time.

Putting aside the condition of rescuing Enron, now even the members of the heavy fleet are implicated in it.

How could he, the commander-in-chief of the fleet, sit idly by?

"Looks like this ruin has to go......

Dogs that don't stray
