Chapter 12 Rafting Zone
At the top of the tall building, a black and white figure holds a scepter in his hand, looking down on the landing clouds condescendingly.
Lu Yun was the only one left, and the eyeballs that could be turned were always staring at him.
It's also magical, I don't know why, although through a layer of pure black mask, Lu Yun can still feel that the figure of King's Landing here is looking at him.
Lu Yun was no longer able to do anything other than stare at him, and even thinking had stopped the moment he looked at him.
The stop of time seemed to spread to the only two people left in this world, and Lu Yun and him did not make any other movements to each other except for looking at each other.
I don't know how long it took, but after a long time or an instant, the figure in the white dress suddenly moved.
He took off the exaggerated white top hat on his head, bowed slightly, and gave a hat salute to Lu Yun.
Then he put his hat back on.
In the next moment, he vanished, as without warning as he had appeared.
It's like a jump in time.
The lost color of the world returned, Lu Yun once again had control of his body, and everything around him had returned to their original orbit.
Only then did Lu Yun feel the frantic beating of his heart and the fine cold sweat oozing from his back, everything that had just happened made him incomprehensible.
He jerked his head back at Lin Guang and Yang Tianxia, and found that they, like the others, were completely unaware of what had just happened.
Lin Guang still waved his hand at him, and Yang Tianxia's face was still smiling with no emotion, and there was a slight doubt in his eyes about Lu Yun's sudden turn back.
Lu Yun turned his head back, forcibly suppressed the violent fluctuations in his heart, and continued to move in his intended direction.
He didn't know if if he was showing something unusual now, and if the black and white figure would appear around the next corner, erasing himself for the sake of eliminating the uncertain factor.
What is that thing?
Why is it that only you are aware of it?
These two questions are like two giant drums, constantly shaking Lu Yun's heart.
Suddenly, Lu Yun thought of a possibility, a possibility that he would only realize after experiencing everything last night.
Post-war anomalies?
Recalling all the incredibleness that George brought to him last night, Lu Yun gradually confirmed his conjecture.
It was a post-war anomaly, one far more terrifying than George, as powerful as the post-war anomaly he had ever heard of that had killed millions of people in the South.
Is it because of your own qualifications that you are able to carry out some thoughts and activities just now?
Lu Yun didn't dare to be sure, because he subconsciously felt that the black and white figure just now was definitely far beyond the level that Feng Ran had told him before, ignoring the impact of qualifications on people.
Thankfully, he doesn't seem to want to do anything for now.
Lu Yun planned to tell Feng Ran about this later, he knew that his current ability would never be able to investigate the black and white figure alone.
Therefore, Lu Yun decided to ignore him for the time being, after all, no matter whether he was frightened or not, he probably couldn't affect the post-war anomaly.
The main thing now is to complete the task assigned to him by Feng Ran, and then place his mother in the city as soon as possible.
Although there are few post-war anomalies in the North District, the appearance of black and white figures and George has proved that even the N District, which is closest to the city, is by no means safe.
In the hundred years since the establishment of the residential area, there has never been any news of an anomaly in the urban area after the war, and Lu Yun believes that the anomaly will be no exception, and his mother will have absolute safety in the urban area.
Only then can he go to the ruins to find his father.
……
After passing through Area P, Lu Yun finally came to the end of the trip, No. 3 Street in Q (17) District, but the scene here was very different from what Lu Yun imagined.
Lu Yun originally thought that the 13 suburban areas from N (14) to Z (26) should be no different except for the environmental level and governance organization, at most with the T area as the boundary, and the north and south districts would be different.
Fang Cai's N (14) to P (16) districts all confirm Lu Yun's conjecture, ordinary houses, ordinary factories, ordinary schools, except that the further you go, the more dilapidated they become, at least the 2nd Street in N(14) District and the 2nd Street in P(16) District look no different.
Therefore, Lu Yun takes it for granted that there is not much difference between organizational management or mutual aid association management.
But...
"Uh... Lad, give way, lad. ”
Two middle-aged people full of alcohol passed by Lu Yun side by side, and the smell of inferior alcohol mixed with various flavors made him a little sick to his stomach.
Although Lu Yun had seen some uncles gather and drink in his neighborhood, he had hardly seen anyone drink like this, let alone during the day.
Women wearing heavy makeup and wearing thin clothes, strong men in full armor with guns in their hands, thin men with sinister eyebrows and rat eyes looking left and right at passers-by...
All sorts of people stood and walked in the streets, their voices loud and disorderly, and the occasional few people wearing mutual aid badges passed through the crowd and ignored their actions.
Lu Yun suddenly remembered that most of his friends who had joined the mutual aid association also belonged to this branch, and had told him at the class reunion that the rafting area managed by the mutual aid association was very different from other places.
Now it seems that Lu Yun feels that his "differentness" is still too conservative.
"No wonder they get more and more fond of drinking every time they come back..."
Lu Yun couldn't help but think of the scene when they picked up those inferior liquors made of industrial alcohol and water and drank them with relish, and couldn't help but sigh that the environment does affect people's behavior.
Liquor made from fermented grain is a rare high-end product in the suburbs, and even if it is in circulation, ordinary people cannot afford it.
But even so, there are still many people who love to drink, and Lu Yun even heard that there were workers who secretly drank coolant when resources were in short supply.
"But... Where are the mutual aid associations? ”
Only then did Lu Yun realize that he had fallen into a small predicament.
He didn't know the way.
The chaotic layout of the building made Lu Yun not know where to start, and he estimated that if he really searched the corners one by one, then probably his mother was already living in the city, and he hadn't found it yet.
At this time, Lu Yun regretted a little, he shouldn't have just stopped accepting Yang Tianxia's bag of money for the sake of face.
After giving all the money for lunch to the hungry gentleman, he was penniless and could no longer find a guide.
He had heard from his classmates that the rafting area under the jurisdiction of the mutual aid association was very lax.
Whether it's a wanted criminal or a crowd of people who worship some strange faith, the Drift Zone will take you in, under one premise.
That's money.
In the rafting area, if you have enough money to buy any of the services of mutual aid associations and local residents, guides are no longer a problem.
However, they are not without principles except for money, at least until the end of the previous commission, they cannot give up the commission and serve others because others add money.
Therefore, many wealthy people in the suburbs will come to the rafting area, and many people who go to the city to save money will work here.
What's more, mutual aid associations are called suburban ether companies.
"This little brother, are you from further north?"
Just when Lu Yun didn't know where to go, a thin man walked out from the side, and a smile showed a few missing teeth on his sallow face.
"How do you know?"
Nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, Lu Yun was sure that this person had some intentions, but after having a certain understanding of his physical ability after what had just happened, Lu Yun didn't have such scruples.
He is now roughly equivalent to a strong adult male with good motor nerves, although he is still vulnerable in the eyes of those who have strengthened his body with ether, but even if he can't beat himself in front of ordinary people, he can still run.
"Little brother, what you said, you don't look like you're wandering around in this place, the group of people further south, they don't dress as decently as you, do you say?"
Lu Yun nodded, although the clothes he was wearing were not essentially different from the drifting area here, did they really look too clean, and the further south side would not spend too many resources on clothes because of material problems.
"So, what are you looking for me?"
"Eh, look at what you said, I see you're looking around, maybe it's just the first time you come and can't get through, don't I want to help you, villain?"
Lu Yun was numb when he heard him, thinking that the eloquence of the people in this drifting area was so good?
But it just so happened that he really needed someone to lead the way.
"Do you know the way to the Mutual Aid Society?"
"Of course, little brother, the villain's name is Tang Wu, I was born and raised here, and I have peed in every alley, not to mention that it is the most well-known place in this drifting area?"
The man who called himself Tang Wu said with a fluttering eyebrow, which made Lu Yun have to believe in his level of leadership.
"Okay, take me there."
"No problem, little brother, a total of 50."
Tang Wu maintained a smile and spread his hand in front of Lu Yun.
Faced with this scene, Lu Yun looked at Tang Wu and was silent.
"Little, little brother, why don't we make it cheaper? Is 40 OK? ”
Tang Wu suddenly felt that people should not be good-looking, this Lu Yun was not a master who could be dominated casually.
I saw that after Lu Yun was silent for a long time, he finally said a sentence:
"Can I get credit?"
