When the team was Central City Satellite City No. 7, night had begun to fall.
Like Qinggang City, Central City Satellite City No. 7, the investigation is not as strict as Main City. The team will come to deliver goods every once in a while, so they collectively have passes. Now they have more passes than they have.
Lu Xin also holds a formal Qinggang identity, and it is a special identity certificate with a steel seal.
Forget about entering the city, you can apply for a small loan at Central City.
However, before entering the city, just like Qinggang, you must go through a special link, which is to hand over your weapons.
No matter Qinggang or Central City, no matter Main City or Satellite City, it is absolutely not allowed to enter the high wall with firearms. However, as people who sell large goods all year round, Gao Ting naturally understands these rules. Long before entering the city, motorcycles have come over and collected all the firearms. These firearms will be sent to a storage point outside the city and will be picked up when leaving the city.
Some storage locations with good services are even responsible for replenishing ammunition and maintaining firearms.
This can be regarded as a new type of service industry that emerged after Crimson Moon.
Lu Xin felt distressed, and then handed over his gun and put it together with the firearms of Gao Ting and others. However, he only handed over the gun and ordinary bullets. Those special bullets were carefully stored and hidden secretly...
This thing was too expensive, and he was still a little worried about handing it over to others.
When the convoy entered Satellite City No. 7 one by one, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Gao Ting led the team, and a line of trucks went straight to a familiar motel in the city. This was specially prepared for convoys like them running wilderness transportation. It has a large parking lot, various types of guest rooms, meals and hot water are provided, and there are also various large and small massage and shampoo shops nearby.
This is to provide regular head massage and psychological counseling and comfort services for veteran drivers who are nervous and tired from the journey.
A group of veteran drivers had not slept for two days and one night, and were already very sleepy.
As soon as the car stopped, some people were lying on the steering wheel and taking a nap.
Only Gao Ting, Old Zhou, Sun Gouzi and others still kept their bloodshot eyes open and went over to register, ask for rooms and food.
Old Zhou glanced disdainfully at the old drivers who were too tired to move. "These people just have weak bodies..."
"Look at us, we are almost fifty, how energetic are we?"
"..."
In the world after the wilderness, there are no such complicated procedures, everything is simple, and the room is quickly booked.
Sun Gouzi blew a loud whistle to wake up the sleepy old drivers:
"Everyone get up first. The driver said we should all eat something, wash our feet, and then go back to the room to sleep."
Motels have limited rooms, and the fleet needs to save money, so they don't need many rooms.
Most of them have to sleep together in Datong Shop, and those with higher status can sleep in standard rooms with bathrooms. Lu Xin was assigned a relatively high-end standard room, but he slept with Old Zhou and his nephew Uncle Zhou. There was nothing we could do about it. If we didn't sleep with these two, we would have to share a room with the front of the car. After weighing it, Lu Xin thought it would be safer to share a room with them.
"Uncle, I don't want to sleep with you..."
Little Zhou is a young man and is in good spirits. He hasn't slept for two days and one night. He is quite energetic at this time. He ate a small pot of cabbage and pork stewed vermicelli provided by the hotel, plus four steamed buns, and drank two bottles of beer.
When it was time to go to bed, he looked at his uncle with disgust and said, "I can't sleep in the same bed with you. If I sleep on the same side with you, you will grind your teeth and snore at night. If I don't sleep on the other side with you, you won't wash your feet, which will make me dizzy..."
As he said that, he looked at Lu Xin expectantly and said, "Little Lu Brother, can I share a bed with you?"
Lu Xin, who had just eaten a pot of pork stewed vermicelli, was coming out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and looked embarrassed when he heard this.
"Not good."
He declined Little Zhou politely, and then came out with his bag.
Although it was only eight or nine o'clock, the motel was already very quiet.
The veteran drivers checked in here. Either they had already eaten, washed their hair to relieve their fatigue, or they had already gone to bed.
After making sure there was no one around, Lu Xin dialed a phone number that Han Bing had told him before.
"Hello, Blue Kite Pet Shop..."
A man's voice soon sounded from the other party, very calm and magnetic.
Lu Xin followed the code given by Han Bing when he left Qinggang and lowered his voice. "Do you have cats there? The kind that don't shed."
The other party was silent for a moment and said, "How can a serious cat not shed its hair?"
Lu Xin said, "Who is a serious person to raise a cat that sheds its hair?"
The other party said, "The more serious a cat is, the more it sheds."
Lu Xin said, "Is that because I'm not serious enough?"
"..."
The voice on the other end of the phone paused for a while and then changed his tone. "Is this Mr. Single Soldier?"
Lu Xin smiled and nodded quickly, "It's me, it's me."
The person on the other end of the phone said, "Qinggang has already called me before... In addition, Mr. Shansheng, you can just call me on another phone. I am a serious Central City Liaison Officer, not a spy. That code is only used in emergencies."
"..."
Lu Xin was slightly embarrassed. "It's mainly because I haven't tried using passwords when making phone calls..."
"Now that you've tried it..."
The other party said, "Has Mr. Shanbing arrived at Central City now?"
"Yes."
Lu Xin said, "I am now living in a hotel in Satellite City No. 7."
"Okay."
The other party said, "Qinggang has given me a notice. I will be responsible for helping you take care of the city in the center, and receive the document you picked up on the road... and make a preliminary assessment of the document and the Forbidden Experiment incident you encountered. However, the intercity high-speed train has been suspended, and I will not be able to go to you until tomorrow. What you need to pay attention to now is that you must be careful at night."
Lu Xin was slightly curious. "Will someone really come here?"
"Not sure."
The other party said, "But what I need to tell you is that you notified the White Tower Town experimental base in Qinggang before. When our Qinggang special condemnation team went to collect evidence, we found that the entire White Tower Town had been destroyed by a wildfire, and there was no evidence..."
"Huh?"
Lu Xin was slightly wary.
From the time the team and I left White Tower Town to Central City, only one day and one night had passed.
In such a short period of time, the other party has already cleaned White Tower Town?
The movements are very fast and the strength is very strong...
He thought for a while and said, "I know, I will be careful."
With that said, he gave the other party the name of the hotel and the room number, and hung up the phone.
"The person who designed the secret code system in the office must be a mastermind at heart, right?"
When he returned to his room, he was still muttering to himself.
Through the window, I could see that Old Zhou, who was sleeping on the bed, and Little Zhou, who was sleeping on the floor, were already asleep at this time. Both of them were snoring loudly. Only Sun Gouzi was still in the corridor at this time, sitting on the bench and patrolling. Their team is used to being cautious, and they encountered such a strange thing, so even when they arrive at Satellite City, they will arrange for people to be awake in case there is any movement.
Seeing Lu Xin, Sun Gouzi, who was sitting on the broken recliner, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He leaned forward but didn't know what to say.
When he was at White Tower Town before, he had doubts about Lu Xin, but he hadn't talked about it yet.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Lu Xin nodded to him, looked up at the ceiling, and said, "Be sure to watch carefully tonight..."
"Something might happen, so I can rest assured that you are watching over me!"
"..."
"Huh?"
Sun Gouzi looked a little stunned after hearing this, then showed an excited and excited expression, and stood up hurriedly.
"Lu... Brother Lu, don't worry, with me guarding you, everyone can sleep peacefully!"
"Huh?"
Lu Xin glanced at him and nodded. "Oh."
Men are so easily moved.
He was obviously talking to his sister on the ceiling, but he looked so excited that he was about to cry.
"Okay, please."
Lu Xin nodded to him, glanced at his sister hanging on the roof with a smile, turned around and walked back to the room.
The bed was a hard bed and the quilt still smelled a bit rancid, but for Lu Xin who had been on the road for several days, it felt good.
I slept until seven o'clock the next day, and Lu Xin woke up on time, with crackling sounds all over my body.
When I walked out of the room, I saw that all the experienced drivers were already having breakfast in high spirits. As soon as Little Zhou saw Lu Xin, he ran over diligently with a bowl of porridge and four or five meat buns wrapped in old newspapers, and said with a smile, "Little Lu Brother, did you sleep well yesterday?"
"I slept normally the first half of the night."
Lu Xin answered honestly, the uncle and nephew have been competing in a snoring competition.
One is like a big river, rising and falling, and the other is flowing like a river, suddenly rising up...
It was so intense that it was hard to decide the winner. In the end, both players won, and only Lu Xin lost.
"So you slept well the rest of the night?"
Little Zhou said happily, "Hurry up and eat, we will go to deliver the goods later."
"Delivery?"
Lu Xin was startled for a moment.
This happened and they were still in a hurry to deliver...
Xuanji reacted.
For this team, maybe no matter what happens, it is not as important as delivery...
The biggest thing in their eyes is to hand over the goods quickly, complete the mission, and get the payment.
After all, they made this trip and worked hard to earn this money, and they also pointed out that they relied on this to support their families.
In addition, the more than 20 people who died in the convoy also needed this money to provide pensions and resettlement expenses.
To take a step back, even if something happens, after delivering the goods, you can concentrate on dealing with it.
Everyone sees the world differently...
Lu Xin thought about it, nodded, took the buns and porridge, and said, "Then I will go with you later."
Hehe, I wouldn't know if I didn't take the photo, but it turns out that I wear gothic women's clothing, which is quite... hehe
