Chapter 30: Frontier Identity
After finalizing the name and other details, Heywood collected the money and promised to help Sumo complete his identity by 6 p.m. tomorrow.
This local snake is quite righteous, and seeing that Su Mo has no place to stay, he easily arranged a single room for him to spend the night.
The reason is that most of them think that Su Mo is acting mysteriously, and he looks at the two brushes and pulls them together as soon as possible.
If you look away, you don't have much to lose anyway.
But if the bet is won, you may not know how much you will get in return for your help in the early stage.
The next morning, Su Mo slept until he woke up naturally.
He turned on the TV and brushed his teeth while watching the news to pass the time.
At this time, the TV screen suddenly changed.
At the bottom left of the screen appears the logo for Morning of the Crescent, Crescent City's most famous morning news show.
The reporter was standing in front of a villa and announced: "Now insert a breaking news!" The Crescent City Public Security Bureau found a male corpse in a villa in the "Tranquility New District", and the deceased was identified as a well-known mercenary middleman, Tang Lao. β
"Donald has a high reputation as a mercenary in Crescent City, having worked closely with government departments and many businesses, and it's hard to imagine that such a well-known figure would suddenly die at home."
"Mr. Sheriff, can you tell us about the scene?"
The camera showed a sheriff, who said solemnly: "After the identification of the traces at the scene, we determined that the deceased was killed by him." The murder weapon is highly suspected to be a sharp blade, and it was killed by a professional. β
The reporter couldn't wait to ask: "May I ask if the Public Security Bureau has locked on the suspect target, or has it had a preliminary suspicion?" β
The sheriff shook his head: "We can only say that with the deceased's usual work experience, the possibility of being sought revenge by the enemy is very high. We are not authorized to disclose any other information, so please be patient and wait for further investigation by the Sheriff's Office. β
Su Mo smiled slightly after reading the news.
He knew that this was the hand of Nuobai.
Yesterday, he reported to Nuobai the name of Donald.
In fact, at this point in time, Donald has not betrayed Nuobai.
Someone made an intelligence deal with the company, and someone leaked her identity, all of which Su Mo made up in order to get out at that time.
But Su Mo has played the plot behind and knows what kind of scum Donald is in his bones.
Killing this kind of garbage middleman early is good for Nuo Bai and good for the other mercenaries in Crescent City.
As for whether Nuo Bai would be arrested, Su Mo was not worried at all.
Just the gang of dry food in the Public Security Bureau, who want to catch the famous Silent Death? Pipe dream.
...
In the evening of the same day, Heywood came with the news as promised, and the identity was done.
The technological level of the Dawning World is higher than in previous lives, and the identity of citizens is no longer identified by documents, but stored in implantable microchips.
This kind of chip integrates multiple functions such as identity recognition, electronic payment, public equipment leasing and lending, etc., and various livelihood services can be scanned, which is more convenient than QR codes.
Heywood brought back the microchip and inserted it directly into Sumer's wrist through the original syringe to complete the implantation.
Then he threw Su Mo a black nameplate pendant and said, "Remember to wear a dog tag when you enter the city, otherwise you will be caught by the sheriff, and you will be punished." β
This black nameplate is a prop used by the Crescent City authorities to distinguish between "border people" and "inner city people".
According to the "Crescent City Public Security Management Regulations", if legal citizens in the border areas want to enter the inner city, they must wear this black nameplate at all times to distinguish themselves from the citizens of the inner city, otherwise they will be punished by public security.
Because the nameplate is hung around the neck, it is very similar to that used for dogs, so everyone gave it a joking name - dog tags.
It's not that Heywood deliberately cheated Sumer, but that his little money can only be used as a "frontier citizen".
If you want to get an identity as an "inner city citizen" from the Public Security Bureau, it will cost millions of monthly coins just to get up and down, not counting the intermediary fee, Su Mo's 150,000 yuan is at most a fraction.
After completing the identity, there was still 50,000 yuan in the card given by Nuobai, and Su Mo took out 8,900 and bought a second-hand motorcycle on the black market to travel.
He filled up his motorcycle and drove to the inner city.
Passing through the ruined frontier, a huge wall stretches to the horizon at the end of the road.
The huge wall is about 100 meters high, and its entire body is made of alloy metal, and because of the long-term wind and rain, its surface is covered with dark red rust, and it looks lifeless.
This is the "rusty wall" used by the Crescent City authorities to separate the border from the inner city after the enactment of the Frontier Isolation Act.
The Rusty Wall has 27 entry and exit levels, and the sentinels check the identity of each person entering the city.
Legal citizens of Crescent City and other cities can enter and exit normally.
And the kind of black households without legal identity can only operate in the border areas outside the rusty walls.
Su Mo came to a checkpoint, and the explosion-proof gate made of special alloy in front of him was tightly closed.
He got out of the car and tapped on the glass of the duty room.
The sentry on duty was leaning back in his chair to watch a short video, he glanced at the black nameplate hanging around Su Mo's neck, and deliberately ignored it, showing arrogance and laziness.
Su Mo took the initiative to open the window, put a small box on the table, and said with a smile: "Sir, you have a familiar face." β
The sentry looked at Su Mo, put down his phone, opened the box and looked inside.
There were 12 canned fruits in the box, all of which were of ordinary grade.
The Sentinel, a little annoyed, was about to push the box out, when he suddenly saw one of the cans opened.
He removed the lid and saw five 1,000 monthly coins stuffed into the empty can.
The sentry's eyes became playful, and he quietly stuffed the banknotes into his shoes, then returned the cans and boxes, and said with a straight face: "There are rules, you can't accept them." β
He scanned the microchip on Su Mo's wrist, confirmed his identity, and called the main control room.
Soon, the blast door slowly opened.
"Su Mo, I remember you, you will pass from our side in the future." The sentry waved his hand and continued to watch the short video.
He also reminded quite kindly: "Remember to wear dog tags when you enter the city, the sheriffs in the city are all cubs, and they like to trouble the border people the most." β
"Thank you, sir!" Summer put the can back in the trunk of his motorcycle and started the engine into the city.
It's already night when you enter the city, and the scenery of the inner city is completely different from the border, and the rusty walls are in ruins, but here is full of a dreamlike sense of prosperity.
It was drizzling tonight, and Su Mo was driving on the viaduct on his motorcycle, the speeding scenery constantly passing by him.
Under the hazy rain curtain, neon lights in blue and red colors shine on the towers and skyscrapers, outlining the outline of the building's faΓ§ade and forming a blurred world of light and shadow.
The mottled headlights on the viaduct complement the city lights, and a variety of state-of-the-art luxury cars speed together in a neat and uniform formation under the fully autonomous driving system.
From time to time, there are black shadows shuttling overhead, which are legally flying floating vehicles, which are occupied by rich and powerful people, and the vast airspace avoids ground congestion for them, saving precious life time.
Pedestrians on the street wear fashionable costumes with electronic light-emitting elements and LED strips embedded in them, forming beating lines and patterns as they walk, and raindrops fall on them, splashing the ripples of water that reflect the brilliant light and shadow.
Countless pictures full of science and technology are intertwined to form this city full of lights.
