Chapter 1: Destroying the Gate
In the 106th year of the extradimensional cataclysm, Wasteland, Northwest Province.
In the northern suburbs of Yuanhe City, the gray-white shelters are like mushroom communities after rain, high and low, densely packed together, fragile and full of vitality.
The above-ground dome of each Vault is covered with a special metal layer that can be charged to form an ionosphere when a Pure Energy Storm comes, thus preventing it from being purified by a Pure Energy Storm.
Bang bang bang!
A bald policeman in a red uniform and sunglasses held an electronic record book in his left hand, a cigarette between his pale yellow fingers, and slammed his right fist on the alloy door in front of him three times, and the shelter was shaken slightly.
"Residents of number 56918, please accept routine inquiries!"
Backbite! ......
A crisp electronic sound sounds, and the door opens.
A young man in a suit and leather shoes appeared at the door wearing an old-fashioned black windbreaker, the gun lapel of the windbreaker was full of hairballs, and the boyish temperament was clear and sunny, and he was handsome.
"Name?!" The tall and majestic bald policeman impatiently initiated a routine questioning.
"Mr. Officer! I have a doorbell at home! "The young man is neither humble nor arrogant, smiling, as tall as the bald policeman, and his momentum is not lost at all.
"Fang Mo! You are registered at our police station, be careful that you can't get in and out next time! The bald policeman's tone was menacing.
"What does smoking count as a cigarette under the Police Officers Duty Ordinance? And ......" Fang Mo said in a tone, and his nose twitched hard, "You still drank wine, more than half a catty, right?" ”
The corner of the bald policeman's eyes twitched, and the originally murderous gaze suddenly softened, and he said softly: "At three o'clock in the morning last night, there was a homicide in the shelter number 40256, what were you doing at that time?" ”
"Sleep!" Fang Mo replied crisply and neatly, and always smiled.
Seeing the bald policeman who had no choice but to leave, several neighbors who were watching nearby gave Fang Mo a thumbs up.
Fang Mo put away his smile, just shook his head slightly, turned around and went back to the house, and closed the door, he usually interacted with
"Brother Mo! Star Entertainment's new game "Shenmu Galaxy" is about to be tested on the whole network, let's do it again? A thin teenager sat in front of the computer, wrapped in a shabby cotton coat, his childish little face was frozen red, his hands were frantically tapping on the keyboard, and he asked casually.
Fang Mo frowned, and said slowly: "Little Carl, pay the electricity bill first." ”
The thin boy turned the computer swivel chair, spread his hands, showed a helpless expression, and said stupidly: "Brother Mo! My pocket is cleaner than my face, and I don't have a white card overdraft, so spare me! ”
"The countdown to the Pure Energy Storm is about to begin, and the extreme low temperature period is coming, and to survive this winter, you need at least 3 30-inch Titan Energy Balls. A year's ration, 12,000 crystals! Fang Mo sat down in front of another computer, his brows furrowed, and glanced at the indoor temperature control display, which showed 0 degrees.
Fang Mo rubbed his hands, as if he had made up some kind of determination, the computer chair turned to Carl and asked, "Did you hear any movement outside last night?" ”
Carl Jr. replied nonchalantly as he tapped on the keyboard: "I heard someone singing last night!" ”
"I'm talking about three o'clock in the morning..... Fang Mo added in surprise.
"Yes, ...... at three o'clock in the morning," Carl Jr. replied with certainty.
"Singing at three in the morning? Have there ever been before? Fang Mo continued to ask.
"Brother Mo! You wouldn't really be interested in murder! Carl stopped with his hands, his expression serious.
"No way, in another fifteen days, if you don't turn on the temperature control system, just wait to become a popsicle! Seize? Still not fighting? Depends on it! Fang Mo tossed a silver antique coin into the air.
The coin flipped quickly dozens of times in the air, and landed steadily on Fang Mo's right palm, revealing the digital side.
Carl knew that the flip of a coin was not a matter of probability, but of necessity, because there were numbers on both sides of his coin, so he asked, "Brother Mo! What do I need to do? And also! How much is the bounty? ”
"Tell me more about last night!" Fang Mo opened the notebook on the computer.
"It's easy! The song is the first theme song "Freedom" of "Shenmu Galaxy", and "Shenmu Galaxy" will be open beta three days later! It's ten years ......of Star Entertainment," Carl gushed about "Shenmu Galaxy".
"Please tell me about last night, don't divert from the topic! Thank you! Fang Mo was a little impatient and interrupted Carl.
"Yes! The first theme song of "Shenmu Galaxy"! Other...... It's gone. Karl's expression was very well-behaved, and he didn't say a word more.
"Is it playing on the sound equipment, or is it humming by a real person!" Fang Mo asked the key point.
"HD lossless original...... Belch...... It is a sound equipment play! Little Carl instinctively covered his mouth, instinctively realizing that he had said more.
"Well, you're right! It's all key! Fang Mo gave an affirmative reply while snapping! The original high-definition lossless playback link of "Freedom" was searched.
Fang Mo pressed the play button with anticipation.
Boom!
A prompt pops up –
This song is requested by the copyright owner, please pay a star sky coin to enjoy the full version, and click to continue after 30 seconds of audition.
Fang Mo clicked on continue without hesitation.
The song sounded, and a magnificent and majestic battlefield picture naturally appeared in Fang Mo's mind.
A heroic spirit of "the bones of the faithful are buried everywhere in the green mountains, why should the horse leather shroud be returned" spontaneously.
After 30 seconds, I listened quickly, and Fang Mo was still unsatisfied. So I had no choice but to open another website: HD uncensored free massive audio resource network.
Start enjoying the full piracy of Liberty.
Fang Mo carefully studied the game introduction and first CG of "Shenmu Galaxy", which is also exciting and full of mystery!
Fang Mo let out a sigh of relief, got up and took off his windbreaker and suit, changed into comfortable casual clothes, and put on a wide black windbreaker again, walked to the two-meter-high mirror at the door, straightened his windbreaker, and said seriously: "Your brother Mo goes out to do big things, strangers don't open the door, there are leftovers in the refrigerator, make do with yourself!" ”
"Well, the child is home alone, I will be careful!" Little Carl replied very well-behaved.
"Cut! You're a kid, you've been in the game with me a dozen times, hell! Fang Mochong sighed with hot breath with both hands, put aside his noncommittal words, and went straight out of the room.
Seeing Fang Mo leaving, Carl said indignantly: "Entered the bureau more than a dozen times? Isn't it all because of unevenness! This homicide isn't just about money, right? ”
Fang Mo braved the sub-zero temperature outside, and walked around the murder scene for two hours in a radius of three kilometers, this is not a simple murder, but an annihilation!
Fang Mo glanced at his watch, at three o'clock, a full twelve hours had passed since the murder, and said secretly: "It's almost time!" ”
The central road of the shelter leads directly to the city, where the temperature has reached minus 7 degrees Celsius, and the streets are sparsely populated with withered pine cones.
In the extreme weather of pure energy storm and scorching heat and cold, only this kind of coniferous dragon scale pine can survive, and its vitality is extremely tenacious, and the pine cone is made into pine cone tea by people, and the pine cone wine is of good quality and low price.
Fang Mo faced the north wind, with white air in his mouth, jogged, and roughly estimated that it would take about 3 hours to jog from the northern area of the shelter to the central police district, and it would take 56 crystals to take a taxi.
Hiking and jogging can not only exercise the body, but also save money, killing two birds with one stone, Fang Mo has always attached importance to the improvement of physical fitness.
Participate in the awakening training next year, the physical fitness assessment is very critical, and it will also affect the direction of awakening, after becoming an awakened person, making money will be much faster, Fang Mo has been looking forward to what kind of ability he will awaken.
At six o'clock in the evening, Fang Mo arrived in front of the Central Police Station of the police district on time.
The quality of the doorman of the police station is very high, he should be a newcomer, and he doesn't know Fang Mo.
Swish!
The doorman gave a military salute to Fang Mo and asked angrily, "Sir!" How can you help? ”
Fang Mo smiled slightly, and replied politely: "Dear Mr. Police Officer, I'm looking for William Li of the Criminal Division!" ”
"William Lee? I'm sorry! No one in the Criminal Division is named William Lee! The doorman smiled.
"Oh! It's Officer Li Dayong! Fang Mo added.
"Okay! Wait! The doorman raised his watch and called a number, and after talking to the other party for a few words, he let Fang Mo go directly to the police station.
Fang Mo was familiar with the road and went straight to the criminal department on the third floor.
A tall, bald policeman wearing sunglasses was standing at the top of the stairs.
"Fang Mo! Here again so soon? Li Dayong put his hands behind his back, with a vigilant look, and glanced at Fang Mo up and down, as if he wanted to see him through thoroughly, he didn't expect this kid to chase him to the police station so quickly, did he want to report himself?
"Officer Lee! Don't look at it, I have clues about the homicide. Fang Mo's tone was relaxed and relaxed, full of kindness, and directly expressed his intentions.
"Good! Please come to the inquiry room! Li Dayong made a gesture of please with his right hand.
"Officer Lee! It's boring to say it, 7 o'clock! I'm waiting for you at the Far River Tavern? Fang Mo's face was sincere, after all, he had not been less troubled by these police officers before, Fang Mo knew the law and was extremely alert, and he could get out of it every time.
"Good!" Li Dayong wanted to see what tricks this kid could use.
In Yuanhe City, at 7 o'clock in winter, the sky is already dark, and the dim street lights are sparsely lit.
There were only a few people in the Far River Tavern.
The tragedy in the northern part of the shelter had a great negative impact on society and caused panic throughout the urban area of Yuanhe.
The widely circulated version in society is that the whole family was bloodily beheaded, and there seem to be traces of some kind of ritual sacrifice at the scene, plus the temperature is getting lower and lower, and if you can curl up at home, you will never go out.
In the Far River Tavern, Fang Mo prepared the best dragon scale pine cone wine, blood yak meat, and a plate of mutated salted shrimp shells, all of which were excellent appetizers, costing 160 crystal coins.
There was a sharp sound of brakes, and a police car stopped firmly in front of the tavern, with no siren on.
Under the dim street lamp, Li Dayong's bald head is still shining, he is still wearing sunglasses in the dark, and his face is full of "I am the best, I am the coolest".
"Officer Lee! Please sit inside! Fang Mo went out to welcome Li Dayong into the tavern.
"Tell me about the homicide!" Li Dayong went straight to the point, sat upright, did not drink, and did not move the tableware.
Fang Mo smiled secretly in his heart, and whispered a few words to Li Dayong, and the two talked to each other for about ten minutes, Li Dayong finally let down his guard and started eating and drinking.
Li Dayong's genetic awakening ability is strength enhancement, and Fang Mo's refuge can't withstand his punch, but the negative feedback of awakening is alcoholism, and in a drunken state, the strength can be doubled.
"Brother Mo! Your analysis has basically locked up the murderer, how long is your brain? Why can't I think of it? Li Dayong picked up the wine glass, shook his head and drank a glass of pine cone wine.
"Officer Lee! The reason why I didn't go to the inquiry room just now is because I want to give you all the credit, and you can write the closing report casually, I only need four 30-inch titan energy balls. Fang Mo used the strength of the wine to add another firewood to Li Dayong.
Originally, Li Dayong thought that it was already very good to be able to solve the case, but in the post-cataclysmic era, due to genetic awakening, the homicide case solving rate was only 40%.
In order to maintain social order and stability and rapidly promote reconstruction, each city has taken the homicide detection rate as a key indicator for promotion evaluation.
Li Dayong really didn't expect Fang Mo to give him such a big benefit.
"Oops! Brother Fang Mo, you will be my brother in the future, you have something to find me in Yuanhe, this is my number. Li Dayong was overjoyed, his tone was very bold, his excited bald head was sweating, and he passed his number directly to Fang Mo through infinite transmission matching technology as he spoke.
The deputy captain of the criminal police team of the police station has been vacant, as the most qualified veteran police officer in the team, he is so close to the door, and the captain of the criminal police, Pete Zhu, has been ordered to solve the case within a week, but there is no clue, so he is so anxious.
"Also...... Brother Fang Mo, the reward for providing clues this time is not cheap, and you are equivalent to solving the case directly, and you deserve a higher bonus, I promise to give you six 30-inch titanium energy balls, four brand new and two depreciated. Li Dayong is a little clever, but in order to make himself feel at ease, he added two more depreciated energy balls.
"Well, big brother, no problem, do as you say!" Fang Mo's tone was not at all lifeless, as if Li Dayong was already his own brother.
"Brother, big brother asks one last question! Why do you have to catch someone within two days?" Li Dayong touched his bald head and looked questioning.
"Because ...... "Shenmu Galaxy" will be open beta in three days! Wealthy miners don't use old-fashioned keyboard computers to experience games. Fang Mo smiled mysteriously and drank all the wine in the cup, "Big brother, it's not too early, it's time for me to go back, the temperature is still dropping, and I'll explain other questions to you after you catch the murderer!" ”
Li Dayong was still full of question marks, there were some things that he really couldn't explain, so he directly said that he wanted to leave, and his intuition told Fang Mo that if he didn't leave, some uncontrollable events would happen, after all, in the era of genetic awakening, there were all kinds of freaks.
"Brother! I'll send you! Li Dayong got up and was about to walk out.
"Big brother, no, it's too late, the road is not easy to walk, and now your focus is on the case!" Fang Mo smiled meaningfully, stuffed Li Dayong into the police car first, and sent him away.
"Uncle Hua! Borrow your clothes and use them in the car! Fang Mo quickly returned to the tavern, said hello to the ordinary middle-aged man in the corner of the tavern, and walked straight to the back hall of the tavern.
"Good! I'm going to get it from the old place! You're safe for now. The middle-aged man fiddled with the tea set in his hand without raising his head, and let Fang Mo walk into the back hall.
A few minutes later, a black sedan drove out of the garage in the back street of the tavern, and Fang Mo stepped on the accelerator a few times and disappeared completely into the night.
Ten minutes later, two mysterious men in large black trench coats and tightly wrapped up walked into the tavern and stopped at the table where Fang Mo was drinking.
"We're late! You'll be locked five minutes earlier! The two men said as they walked, quickly left the tavern, and drove to the mining area in the east of the city in a car.
