Chapter 339 Unique Scenery
The news of the third "heartless", the solemn expression of the hotel owner Ugo, and the announcement that the water would be cut off at night were mixed together, forming an indescribable and wonderful atmosphere, which made the four carbon-based people of the "Old Tune Group" remain silent for a while.
Ugo raised his hand and touched his golden hair, his expression returned to normal, and his tone was slightly complaining and hurriedly saying to Jiang Baimian and the others:
"Go and fill the basins and buckets in the bathroom, and wash the ones you want to take a bath quickly."
As he spoke, he walked to the back of the hall on the first floor, as if he wanted to make some preparations for the water outage.
He behaved so ordinary, it seemed that he had already adapted to something similar.
This made Jiang Baimian and others who planned to ask about the recent "heartless disease" situation a little unable to react.
They finally decided to listen to their boss, stockpile the necessary water sources, and wash away the dirt and fatigue accumulated along the way.
By the time the "Old Tune Group" was busy with all this, the sun was already setting in the west, and it was about to set on the horizon.
"Let's not do business tonight, go out to find something to eat, then come back to sleep, have a good rest, charge a battery, and maintain the system." Jiang Baimian's last half of the sentence was said by looking at Gnawa.
Each room here has a separate meter, new or old or patchwork.
While the others nodded, Shang Jianyao had already taken the lead in walking to the door.
Then, he was arrested by Jiang Baimian.
"Wait a minute." Jiang Baimian said angrily, "Xiaobai and I have to put on makeup first, no, make a disguise."
Of course, they wear makeup not to make themselves look better and more glamorous, but to make themselves look ordinary and less eye-catching.
Bai Chen shook his head:
"I don't need it."
She lived in the "First City" and knew that a gray woman like herself from the wilderness wanderer belonged to the relatively common type.
Jiang Baimian looked at her and said with a smile:
"Do you want to be recognized at a glance?"
Bai Chen was silent for a few seconds and nodded.
"I want it too!" Shang Jianyao followed.
Jiang Baimian glanced at him and ignored him.
She knew that if she refuted it, Shang Jianyao would definitely come up with a theoretical response that "boys should protect themselves when they go out", or give a strange "reason" from another perspective.
They quickly got these things done and casually found a restaurant in the Green Olive District, a place called Rabe Street.
The name of the restaurant is very simple, called "Axon", which is the ancient name of a region in the Red River Basin.
It is said that among those who founded the "original city", the mainstream was from Axon.
The boss works part-time as a waiter, wearing a linen shirt, with a burly figure and strong arms.
He looked about forty years old, with black hair and blue eyes.
"Is there a menu?" Jiang Baimian swept around and asked.
The boss shook his head:
"This is not in the Red Giant Wolf Area.
"Today, it was just beet soup, brown bread, pork sausage, and potatoes."
He only mentioned potatoes and did not mention specific dishes, because there are several ways to do this.
"Come on." Shang Jianyao made a choice with a serious expression.
When Jiang Baimian touched his already shy pocket, Bai Chen asked the price: A full meal would almost empty the rest of the group.
I have to make money seriously tomorrow, uh, first find the company's intelligence officer to get a sum of money...... Jiang Baimian sat down and started ordering.
During this process, Long Yuehong asked again without giving up:
"No fresh meat?"
"I can only get that little every day, and it will be sold out at noon." The restaurant owner explained simply, "This is not in the Red Giant Wolf District."
Because the beet soup was made and prepared a long time ago, and the pork sausage only needed to be processed, only the mashed potatoes took some time, so the "old mix team" quickly used dinner.
At this time, it was not completely dark, and the sun was still hanging on the horizon, casting its afterglow.
"This beet soup feels a bit strange." Long Yuehong picked up the soup and took a sip of the soup first.
This is different from the eating habits inside "Pangu Bio", it is thick and sweet.
Shang Jianyao did not agree with him, focusing on the cut pork sausage.
Although these are not very delicious, they are still quite good for the four carbon-based people of the "old mix group" who are tired of eating canned food, compressed cookies, and energy bars.
While they were feasting, there were bursts of noise in the distance:
"We want land!"
"We want to work!"
"We want to live!"
Long Yuehong turned her body curiously and turned her gaze to the outside of the restaurant.
Not long after, a huge group of people passed by the street, some holding wooden signs, some pulling paper, on which words such as "we want land", "we want to work", "we want to live" and so on in Honghe words.
These people are typical Red River people, or blonde, or chestnut hair, or blue eyes, or green eyes.
Their shirts and coats are very old, but the paste is quite clean, and their faces are more or less dishy.
"What are these people doing?" Long Yuehong asked a little blankly.
It seems like you're asking for something?
Because they were the only guests at the Axon restaurant, the burly boss answered his question casually:
"Those people are marching."
"Parade?" Jiang Baimian has only seen this word in books.
The original city was indeed different.
"Parade?" Shang Jianyao seemed to think this was a very interesting thing.
The restaurateur said with a slight disdain:
"These are the descendants of those old citizens who have not worked hard, lost their farmland outside the city, and are unwilling to go to the western suburbs to work, and only want to let the Senate start a war, or go to the wasteland to establish a new settlement, so that they can get a share of the land, or get public office."
There was a big problem with the layout of the city at first, and the factory area was actually further west of the Red River, so that wastewater flowed through the city.
This also has its practical factors - initially, the east to the north of the city were places with severe pollution and many aberrant organisms, and factories could not be built, while there were a large amount of fertile farmland in the southeast and due south.
At the same time, affected by the destruction of the old world, the local climate is slightly chaotic, the wind direction is from east to west all year round, and places such as the Golden Apple District in the southeast of the city rely on the water source of the Taiwei River, a tributary of the Red River, so the layout continues.
After listening to the restaurant owner's answer, Long Yuehong suddenly realized:
"I'm lazy and don't want to endure hardship......"
At this time, Shang Jianyao asked suspiciously:
"Why do so many people lose their fields at the same time because they don't work hard?"
They said a few words, but the parade was not over yet.
The restaurateur was silent for a moment and said:
"With so many citizens, there will always be some lazy people who don't work hard."
Jiang Baimian winked at Shang Jianyao and asked him not to ask again.
In order to block the guy's mouth, she forked a few slices of pork sausage into the other party's dinner plate.
Long Yuehong glanced left and right, and finally decided to concentrate on eating.
The voices of "we want land" and "we want work" gradually faded away, as if they had entered the Red Giant Wolf District.
Maybe they were all hungry, but it didn't take long for the "old tune group" to solve the dinner like a storm.
After looking at the environment with visibility, Jiang Baimian thought for a moment:
"Let's take a walk around."
It's time for the team leader's favorite part of observing the environment and familiarizing himself with the terrain...... Long Yuehong was not surprised by this at all.
"Okay!" The well-fed and well-fed Shang saw Yao in high spirits, and Gnawa imitated his reaction.
Bai Chen didn't say that she had already been familiar with this area, because she hadn't been here for a long time, and she wasn't sure if there had been any changes, so she had to measure it on the spot to feel at ease.
In this way, a group of five people from the "Old Tune Team" strolled along Rabe Street in the direction of the Red Giant Wolf District in the posture of eating after a meal.
In the dim sky, they saw many people coming and going in a hurry, looking very busy, but their expressions were quite numb.
From time to time, there were fierce expressions or groups of people looking at them, but they looked away when they saw Gnava with "red light" in his eyes.
Seeing the third avenue separating the green olive area and the red giant wolf area in sight, Jiang Baimian and others heard another noise.
They then looked over and found a figure standing on top of a small building.
His body was quite rickety, and he was guarding against the other side who didn't know who was.
Bang!
After a gunshot, the figure fell backwards, fell from the roof, and hit the ground heavily.
When the blood spilled out quickly, Long Yuehong heard someone sigh behind her:
"Fourth ......"
At this time, the sun completely sank into the horizon, and initially a large number of lights lit up all over the city.
The Milky Way on the other side of Third Avenue is reflected, and this side is dotted with stars.
