Because he didn't know when the drunkard was going to attack the organization he was investigating, Lu Xin decided to come over earlier to discuss countermeasures with her. That night, he asked Han Bing to book a ticket for him to Satellite City No. 4 and set off early the next morning.
The subway went higher and higher, and finally climbed to an elevated track dozens of meters above the ground, passing through the sky above the city.
Boom!
When the high train drove out of the high wall of Satellite City No. 2, I felt the sunshine from outside suddenly pouring in.
Lu Xin looked out of the car window and saw a refreshing sight.
I saw that between the huge high walls, there were large tracts of green vegetation, and the vegetation covered some dilapidated buildings.
The layout of Qinggang City is the most common form in the world after Crimson Moon incident.
Inside is the Qinggang City Main City with the best architecture and the most modern flavor.
And around Main City, there are five Satellite City in the east, south, west, north and observatory, which are like a huge palm spread out on the ground. The distant Main City, which seems to be emitting silver reflection, is the palm of the palm, and Satellite City is the fingers.
Between Satellite City and Main City are large areas of farmland, orchards, pastures, greenhouses, as well as some lakes and rivers.
Looking further outside, there is an endless wilderness.
There are elevated railway networks all over the six cities. When there were still a lot of madmen in the wilderness, Qinggang City relied on these high trains that were nearly 100 meters above the ground to transport goods and prevent madmen from attacking. However, now that there are fewer and fewer madmen, ground transportation has also flourished, and this kind of elevated railway that spans between cities has become a feature.
Nowadays, mainly people traveling between cities choose this mode of travel.
After all, because we are on the elevated road, even if we leave High Wall City, we are not leaving the city.
On the ground, even if you go from one Satellite City to another, the system will judge it as leaving the city.
When Gao Lie stopped at the Satellite City No. 4 station, Lu Xin followed the people out of the carriage, and then went to the last carriage to pick up his motorcycle. After observing it carefully for a while, he felt relieved when he saw that the motorcycle had not been pushed around by the rough staff and had no scratches. Then he rode it through the underground passage to the exit on the ground.
The phone call had already been made on the high column, and the drunkard should be waiting for him here at this time.
Lu Xin glanced a few times, then fixed his gaze and saw a little girl in school uniform waving to him.
"Hello..."
Lu Xin pushed the cart over and said hello with a smile.
When the words came to her mouth, she paused slightly. She didn't know how to call her: Mr. Drunkard? Miss? Little sister?
"Haha, you are Little Soldier, right?"
Before Lu Xin could think of a suitable title, the ponytailed drunkard was already looking at him with a kind face.
Smiling, he stretched out his hand and said, "We have met before, but it was too chaotic at that time and we didn't bother to talk more..."
"Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to support my work."
"Originally, I wanted to find that Xie Le Hu Zi, but he said he had a stomachache..."
"..."
"Xie Le Hu Zi..."
Lu Xin reacted for a moment before understanding what she was referring to. He smiled quickly and said, "Yes, I will do my best to cooperate."
The little girl in front of her looks pure and clean. She is full of collagen and invincible youthfulness. However, the kindness on her face really makes Lu Xin feel a little weird. When talking to her, she subconsciously feels that she is half shorter...
... Mainly because I am half shorter in terms of seniority.
"Haha, okay, the young man is in good spirits..."
The drunkard gave a thumbs up, unscrewed the thermos cup, took a sip, and said, "Don't be stunned. Let's go. I'll take you to dinner."
"Oh, okay..."
Lu Xin Smelling the smell of wine in the thermos cup, he suddenly felt a little in awe.
He was waiting here, and the drunkard quickly drove her car over, Lu Xin's eyes became a little straight.
It was a tricycle without a hood, with a pocket on the back, the paint was peeling off in many places, and it was rusty... It was a farm-type tricycle. The drunkard wore a school uniform, sneakers, and a ponytail. He drove the tricycle in a hurry, attracting countless eyes.
He pulled the brakes, patted the back pocket with a smile, and said, "Get in the car, young man, what are you waiting for?"
"Just throw your motorcycle up..."
"..."
"Um... How about I follow you..."
Lu Xin agreed, but finally couldn't hold it back and said, "Is this your car?"
"Yes..."
The drunkard unscrewed the thermos cup again and took a sip, and said, "This car is good, and there is no investigation for drunk driving..."
"?"
Lu Xin Suddenly felt that what she said made sense.
So, the drunkard rolled up his sleeves, revealing two white and tender arms, holding the handlebars, and drove steadily ahead to lead the way.
Lu Xin rode his motorcycle and followed behind at a snail-like speed. The tricycle didn't seem to be burning oil very well, and black smoke kept coming out. Halfway through, Lu Xin stopped and took a look, and found that the silver bumper was blackened...
I have no choice but to stay away from her and follow her.
Anyway, the drunkard's car drove so steadily, he felt like he could keep up even while walking.
The drunkard said he was going to eat. Lu Xin was not hungry at first, but after following him all the way, he delayed until he was hungry.
I originally thought that the drunkard would treat me to a meal, even if he didn't go to a big hotel, he would go to a small restaurant that made meat rice. After all, they were on a business trip and could be reimbursed, and Han Bing had told himself before that the drunkard was a very generous person.
But after following the drunkard and driving into a community in the center of the city, Lu Xin was a little surprised.
"This is..."
After stopping the car and looking at the rows of residential buildings around him, Lu Xin was a little confused.
"This is my home..."
"Let's go upstairs and eat, and then we'll discuss the mission."
The drunkard got out of the car, parked the tricycle, and walked upstairs with his hands behind his back.
"You actually came to our house for dinner?"
Lu Xin was a little surprised, but seeing that the drunkard had already entered the building, he hurriedly locked the car, took a closer look, and quickly followed.
"Wu Gege is back?"
This community looks grand and clean, and the corridors are more lively than other places. It's the weekend, and it's dinner time again. There are a lot of people coming and going. When waiting for the elevator, I see the neighbors greeting each other cordially. There is an old man with a kind face, looking at the drunkard with a smile, and secretly glances at Lu Xin, smiling, and said with a smile, "Is this young man your friend?"
"It's my colleague, Grandma Wang, are you buying something delicious again?"
When the drunkard answered, his voice was clear and crisp, like a curious and cute girl.
With such an answer and performance that suited her identity, Lu Xin clearly felt that she was pretending to be young...
"Oh, you just have a sharp nose and bought some small yellow flowers..."
The kind old man opened the basket, gave the drunkard a look, and said with a smile, "I'll send some to your house when I'm done frying it!"
"I want to..."
A couple holding hands next to them also started joking. The man raised his hand and said, "My wife loves eating the little yellow flowers made by Grandma Wang."
"You know I like it, so why don't you buy it for me?"
The girl next to him looked at him angrily, then smiled and took out a box of cherry beads from the convenience bag, stuffed it into the old man, and said with a smile, "I have eaten Grandma Wang's delicious food so many times before that I am embarrassed. You can take this fruit back to your grandson..."
"Oh, no, it's expensive..."
"There's nothing expensive, but it can't be as delicious as the little yellow flowers made..."
"..."
During the process, the elevator door opened, and a fat woman pushed an old man in a wheelchair down. With a friendly and polite smile on her face, she greeted the neighbors, "Aunt Wang, Xiao Sun, and Princess, are you all back?"
All the neighbors stepped aside. "Sister Liu pushed my father-in-law to go for a walk again?"
After entering the elevator, everyone was still discussing. "Sister Liu is really good. My husband died while running transportation outside, and my father-in-law broke his leg. Not only did he not send his father-in-law back, but he also took care of him. In this world, there are not many such good people..."
Lu Xin stood among them, listening quietly, and felt that these neighbors of drunkards were actually pretty good.
It's good to have such neighbors to take care of you in your daily life.
It's a pity that few people live in the old building where I live.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back."
The house the drunkard lives in is also quite spacious, it seems to be 140 to 50 square meters.
The decoration is classic and heavy, filled with exquisite small potted plants and books, giving it a very intellectual feel.
As soon as he entered the door, a middle-aged man and woman rushed to greet him.
They are all in their forties. The man wears glasses, and the woman wears a blue home-style cheongsam. They look very good-looking. From the photos displayed in their living room, you can see photos with students. Are they all teachers?
"Oh, sit down quickly..."
The drunkard's parents looked at Lu Xin who came in with her, their faces were a little surprised, and they looked at Lu Xin very enthusiastically.
"Has Princess finally made friends?"
"..."
"This is my colleague. You sit with him first while I go cook."
The drunkard greeted Lu Xin: "Young man, don't be polite. Peel an apple and eat it."
As he spoke, he took an apron and went into the kitchen.
"Okay, okay..."
Faced with the enthusiasm of this family, Lu Xin had no choice but to sit down on the sofa. On one side were his parents who were drunkards. They looked at Lu Xin, looking particularly happy. They exchanged glances secretly, and they seemed to feel relieved.
"The young man is really nice..."
The drunkard Mom looked at Lu Xin with concern. "What's your name and how old are you?"
"Well, I'm twenty-three, my name is..."
Lu Xin hesitated, not sure whether he should tell his real name. According to their regulations, communication should be done by code names.
In fact, he didn't know the drunkard's real name.
Moreover, logically speaking, he should not come into contact with an alcoholic's family...
... The drunkard brought him home for dinner, which was not in line with the habits of a person with abilities.
"Twenty-three, very good, very good..."
The drunkard's father did not put Lu Xin in trouble, and nodded with a smile, "My Gege is also over 18 years old. Although she has a bit of a weird temper, she is actually quite nice. Originally we planned to wait until she graduates from high school to let her enter college, but she is not very interested, so we let her go. Now she is more concerned about her big things. Where are you two... where are you now?"
"Poof"
Lu Xin almost spit out the tea, and suddenly felt something was wrong. Did the alcoholic parents misunderstand something?
"What are you thinking about?"
At this time, the drunkard stuck his head out from the kitchen, frowned, and said, "This is my colleague, Little Soldier, who came to help me with my work. This is the second time we have met... I asked you two, you are young, can you have a higher level of ideological consciousness?"
"Don't think about these things every day. Wouldn't it be better to focus more on your career?"
"..."
"This..."
The drunkard's parents suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
After a while, the drunkard Mom pushed the fruit towards Lu Xin and said awkwardly, "You eat, I will help her cook..."
Lu Xin was sitting in the living room with his alcoholic father, staring at each other.
The drunkard's helpless voice soon came from the kitchen. "Xiao Wang... oh, no, mom..."
"You are such a big man, but you are still clumsy. Can that fish scrape its scales like this?"
"You have to pick it sideways with the knife... what's wrong?"
"I'm not happy even if I say a few words to you. You young people really don't know what you're thinking."
"You're still a university professor. How can you teach those children like this?"
