Chapter 28: The Fog in the Middle of the Night
After freshening up, Autumn lay down in the capsule bed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although the area of Baiyun City is larger than that of Hot Spring City, the population is also more than several times, and as the capital of the Federation, every inch of land is valuable. Naturally, the college's funds could not be wasted on accommodation, so I stayed in the most affordable capsule hotel in Baiyun City.
In fact, each compartment is so spacious that an adult man can sit and lie in it without looking cramped at all. Warm yellow lights illuminated the entire district, shining on the smooth skin of autumn, and the light and shadow of each slightly raised muscle overlapped.
He had several hedrons in his hands. When you arrive in Forest City, you will completely enter the uninhabited primeval forest, full of predators and rat ants, and according to federal law, humans cannot harm these beasts. Each beast is equipped with a chip that records its activity and can be traced back to its killer in the event of an accidental death. Therefore, it doesn't matter if the beasts living in the big forest kill each other, it is an ecological law, but if they are killed, they will face legal sanctions.
In the early years of the new era, due to the scarcity of natural ingredients, some people were armed to poach in the great forest, and all of them disappeared inside. Later, it was rumored that the Warrior Alliance organized experts to snipe at these poachers, and the methods were very cruel. Since then, no one has dared to sneak into the Great Forest.
This time, the martial arts academy was approved. Forest City will have someone to lead them into the forest, following the path that is theoretically safe and familiar. In advance, the academy also prepared some necessities for them, a few spars, and synthetic compressed food. Hedrons can be used to avoid danger, as well as to rest in trees and deal with emergencies. Food is in a long cylinder, the volume is very small, each time you take out one capsule, it will break down in the stomach and intestines to produce the energy needed by the human body.
Autumn familiarized himself with the properties of a few spars, and then took out the black hedron given by the old shovel, and gave it a name called "Little Black Carbon". In fact, the civil spars are all black, and the more impurities, the worse the performance, and the darker the color. But this little black charcoal is obviously not like this. Its surface is smooth, and although it is also black, it has a faint shine on the inside, just like the radiation of light.
That's right, it's light. But this light is the other way around. The bright light shines outward, but the bead shines inward, creating a phenomenon where the center is dark and then gradually brightens outward. If this is a work of art, then the old shovel has indeed made a big guy out this time. This old man has been talking about supporting himself and making his own spars, but he can't imagine that he will really make one for him.
But he was not a warrior after all, and the spar he made failed to meet its practical value. A spar that drains its own mental strength will be laughed at when it is spoken.
After all, it is a meaningful item, and Autumn took out a cloth bag and put a small black charcoal in it. This cloth bag was sewn by my grandmother, and it is not worth much, but the material used is the silk thread of the old era, which is very commemorative. There are also some objects from my childhood, all of which are childhood memories.
Even in the middle of the night, the dense fog in Baiyun City is still very thick, and the special street lamps can only emit a dim bright light, like halos, hanging high in the sky, many halos one after another, a bit like fireflies shining in the sky. It's just that fireflies may have been extinct long ago, and they can't adapt to the high-altitude environment.
Footsteps sounded on the road, and three or five figures swayed through the darkness, walking in the dim spot. Then they went to a corner and talked to each other.
"Did you see clearly? It's someone from the Martial Arts Academy outside?"
"100% sure, it's just a bunch of students. Right on the third floor of this hostel. If you think about it, the people in the Martial Arts Academy must be martial artists, and they must have a lot of spars on their bodies......"
"But they're all warriors......"
"It's not for you to rob it, do you still sleep with the hedron when you sleep?"
"How could you not carry something as small as a spar...... In case ......"
"Don't think about it, come with me......"
Several people shuttled through the darkness and came to the downstairs of the hotel.
The hotel is located near the airport, on a corner of the street, facing the street on both sides. Artificially cultivated trees are planted around, and two lights are lit at the entrance.
A man walked in in a big way, and four or five figures followed secretly.
The front desk staff of the hotel, a middle-aged uncle with a slightly bent back, greeted the man: "Hello sir, welcome to the hotel! There are still many rooms to choose from. "His so-called rooms are actually capsule compartments.
Out of the thick fog came a huge fat man and stood at the front desk of the hotel, blocking his view. Four or five dark shadows had quickly passed through the room following the shadows behind him, without the sound of footsteps.
It is not uncommon to encounter such lodgers in the middle of the night. The hotel staff talked to him very patiently, and the fat man was very good at talking, from the geographical location of the hotel, to the weather and climate, and to the federal environmental protection policy, to continue to talk about the new pension policy, and finally to the grand occasion of the construction of the federal building, before ending the conversation.
The fat man rubbed his palms against each other, and then said, "I suddenly forgot something, and I have to go and get it quickly." My hovercar is parked outside. ā
The hostess of the hotel not only exclaimed: "Ah, you have a car, there is an open space behind our hotel where you can park, completely free......" He thought to himself that there must be a big man opposite, and he couldn't see his dignity clearly in the dark, but he could be sure that he was of good birth by looking at his conversation.
The fat man said, "Ah? Yes." I lost one of my hedrons in my car, which I bought recently, but it cost a lot of money. In the Federation, the merchants who bought and sold the spars were the most shrewd, and the government unified the price when collecting the spars, but when they sold them, they had to carefully inspect the grade, for fear of picking a bargain for others. I asked someone to test my spar, and when I bought it, I bought it at the price of level three, but when I bought it, I found that it was only level four. It's so black-hearted. If the government does this business, it is better to go to the black market and buy it. ā
The middle-aged staff member's eyes widened, "Oh, the third-level spar, how much should it cost?, and if you can control the third-level spar, what level of martial artist should it be?"
The fat man muttered, tugged at the collar of his trench coat, and turned into the fog again.
Then the staff waited for a long time, but only saw a slender young man coming out of it, he recognized that this person came to stay in the afternoon, and it was said that he came from the Martial Arts Academy in Hot Spring City.
"Customer, you're going out? It's two o'clock in the night. ā
Autumn looked at the direction in which the fat man and a few men in black had disappeared, and said casually, "Well, I can't sleep and go out for a walk." ā
Tsk, young people are energetic.
The hostess of the hotel couldn't help but sigh secretly, and rubbed his hand on his sore shoulders that had been sitting all night. Back then, I also dreamed of entering the Martial Arts Academy. Now, as the years go by, I feel more and more that my waist is not straight.
"But beware of the 'rats', that is the most annoying gang in Baiyun City, stealing and robbing are all evil, they come out at night to do evil, but they disappear without a trace during the day. ā
When the autumn went out, the receptionist sat down again, thinking that when the big man came in again, he would have to pick a good compartment for the other party. Maybe the other party will be happy and enjoy something......
