Chapter 338 Things to Do
"The biggest advantage of this hotel is that the boss doesn't ask anything." Bai Chen stepped on the brakes and pointed to the "Ugo Hotel" and said, "And he has a good relationship with the sheriff in charge of these streets, so we don't have to worry about being kicked open and searched."
Long Yuehong subconsciously wanted to say that we wouldn't do anything bad in the room, but thinking of the two military exoskeleton devices, he closed his mouth again.
As long as the sheriff finds those two items, even if they do nothing, they won't be able to clear the suspicion.
Of course, the most likely situation at that time is that the sheriff and his men hold their heads at the same time, squatting on the floor, not daring to say anything or ask anything.
As he spoke, Bai Chen released the brakes and drove the jeep to the parking area on the side of the "Ugo Hotel".
"I thought the parking lot here would be underground." Shang Jianyao looked disappointed.
Jiang Baimian understands his feelings very well, because in the old world entertainment materials watched by the "old tune team" during this period, the parking lots in big cities are often underground, and most of the red stone collection in ruins is like this.
But in the beginning, the largest city in the gray soil was still so simple.
Bai Chen parked the car and pointed to the east:
"There are underground parking lots in places like the Golden Apple District and the Red Giant Wolf District.
"When the original city was established, part of it was based on the original building, and part of it was built by the citizens themselves on the allocated land, and there was no unified plan."
"No wonder the road conditions are not good, there are all kinds of house styles." Jiang Baimian suddenly realized and sighed.
The Golden Apple District is located in the southeast corner of the original city, near the suburbs, and is the area where the nobles lived; The Red Giant Wolf District is located in the center of the city, with the Senate, the Government Affairs Department, the Supervisory Yuan, the Governor's Office, the Money Printing Factory, the Mint, the Energy Supply Center and other institutions, which is the core of the original city.
Entering the "Ugo Hotel", Jiang Baimian saw the boss sitting at the front desk having breakfast and dinner.
He looked like he was in his thirties and early forties, his skin was a little tanned, and there were some wrinkles around the corners of his eyes, forehead, and mouth, but he was not so old overall, and his blonde hair was still shiny, without a trace of paleness.
His dinner was simple, a plate of simmered beans and a coarse piece of brown bread.
"Three rooms." Bai Chen expressed his needs in fluent Honghe dialect.
"If there is such a thing, it is that kind." Shang Jianyao suddenly showed a twisted look, "Five people can live together, how many small suites are there?"
What is there to be shy about...... Long Yuehong muttered silently.
This is also his idea.
It's safest for everyone to live together!
The boss named Ugo shook his head and glanced at the five members of the "Old Tune Group" with his light blue eyes:
"Only big hotels have suites."
Tarnan's proprietress Aino really has business minds...... Jiang Baimian sighed secretly and said with a smile:
"Then three rooms next to each other."
"Each room is 1 ore per night, and there is also a deposit of 5 ore." Ugo replied calmly.
"Stay for a week first." Jiang Baimian took out a stack of banknotes and counted 26 olei.
The money left by the "Old Tune Team" was used up in Weeds City, and now all the money from Shang Jianyao's good brother Xu Liyan was a gift, but there was not much.
Ugo counted the banknotes, checked the authenticity, and took out three silver-white keys with labels from the drawer:
「202，203，204。」
This hotel did not have an elevator, and after Long Yuehong and others took the key, they went up the stairs to the second floor and opened the corresponding room.
"It's pretty clean." Jiang Baimian nodded in satisfaction.
The layout of the house is the same as most hotels, with two beds filling most of the space, and the rest of the space is placed with tables, chairs, and sofas, and a small toilet is also attached.
After a short rest, Bai Chen, Long Yuehong and Gnawa gathered in room 202, which is where Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao lived.
"That boss eats so badly, is the city opening hotel so unprofitable in the first place?" Long Yuehong pulled away the chair and sat down, asking casually.
That is still a person who has a friendship with the sheriff.
Bai Chen shook his head:
"Even if he can't eat meat every day, it's not a problem to eat two or three times a week, but he is very frugal, to the point of being a little masochistic."
For her, who was born as a wilderness wanderer, this frugality is also almost perverted.
"What psychological trauma may have occurred...... Jiang Baimian touched his metal cochlear implant and made a simple guess.
She then clapped her hands:
"Let's hold a group meeting to unify our understanding of future actions."
Shang Jianyao clapped his hands dutifully.
Unfortunately, no one cooperated with him.
Jiang Baimian looked around and said:
"Our main task is to find Maximian, the descendant of Ore in the 'First City', to see what clues he has left.
"According to the information collected so far, the only immediate descendants who are still alive are a granddaughter, Avia, and a grandson, Marcus, who live at 14 Round Hill Street in the Golden Apple District and 57 Crown Street in the Golden Apple District.
"Our plan is very simple, find opportunities to contact them and let Shang Jianyao make friends with them.
"The most important thing to note about this plan is that there may be great dangers lurking in the dark, and there may be forces that are erasing all efforts to investigate the cause of the destruction of the Old World or the origin of the 'heartless disease'.
"So, we have to be very careful, very careful, and rather miss out than take risks."
Hearing this, Gnawa Scholar Jianyao raised his hand:
"I have a problem."
"What?" Jiang Baimian asked kindly.
"Since there are forces blocking all investigations into the causes of the destruction of the Old World, why don't they just kill Avia, Marcus or someone else and completely interrupt the clues?" This is the most reasonable development that Gnava analyzed.
"Indeed, the laboratory in the ruins of Swamp No. 1 was blown up by Qiao Chu." Jiang Baimian nodded.
Snap, Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and slapped his left palm:
"I know why!"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he said calmly:
"Ore didn't leave any clues at all, Avia and Marcus didn't know anything."
So what are we doing in the original city? Long Yue scolded with a red belly.
Bai Chen said after consideration:
"Maybe Avia and Marcus have been closely protected by the 'First City', and that force will not be able to succeed."
Jiang Baimian nodded slightly:
"This may be relatively higher. In any case, the 'First City' is the largest force in the gray soil, and it would be too embarrassing if even two people couldn't protect it.
"This also reminds us to be more careful, our enemies are not only the destroyers lurking in the dark, but also the protectors of the 'First City'."
Speaking of this, she smiled bitterly:
"Now let's take a step by step, we still have too little information.
"Okay, the second thing that needs to be done is to contact the liaison officer of the Zhao family, go to the manor on the outskirts of the city to investigate, and try to raise a sum of money within this week.
"The third thing is to go to the local hunter guild and sell them information that the white giant wolf may have other abilities."
This will be supported by Qiao Chu's various performances at that time, which is full of gold content.
"The fourth thing is to contact the company's intelligence officer in the original city. The fifth thing is to find Han Wanghuo, and we have to observe him. The sixth thing is to visit Bai Xiao and Lin Tong's team, they still owe us a big meal......" Shang Jianyao helped Jiang Baimian supplement the rest of the arrangements.
Jiang Baimian said "heh":
"You're right!"
At this moment, there was a sudden noise from somewhere.
Shang saw Yao lying down at the window and looked outside, but because it was on the second floor and was blocked by many buildings and obstacles, he could only see people coming and going on the street.
As for vehicles, there are not too many, mainly bicycles.
"Go down and ask." Jiang Baimian thought for a few seconds.
The "Old Tune Team" and a group of five people quickly returned to the lobby of the "Ugo Hotel" and found that the boss was also standing at the door, looking into the distance.
"What happened?" Bai Chen stepped forward and asked.
Ugo said with a slightly complicated expression:
"In the past week, the third 'heartless disease' in these streets has been."
As soon as he finished speaking, a loudspeaker on the telephone pole outside suddenly came out:
"Due to the shortage of water resources, the water will be cut off after 7 o'clock tonight, and I will come at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."
