Indescribable cyberpunk

The taxi's tires ran over puddles on the ground, and it shuttled between tall buildings in the heavy rain.

The road edges on both sides. No, there is no difference between lanes and sidewalks here. There is only one road. It is just separated into three sections by some metal fences. The left and right sides are full of people holding cheap transparent umbrellas or Pedestrians wearing raincoats of various colors.

Above their heads are hundreds of meters high buildings, sky corridors and urban upward tracks that can be seen everywhere. The brilliant colored light of neon signs that can be seen at all heights scatters into the rain, and finally reflects on these people. , as if this rain is inherently colored.

And further outside these two areas, at the feet of these pedestrians, there is an even gloomier place. It is a place where even the neon lights are difficult to shine. Even in the daytime, you can still only see some vague figures. Just wandering in it.

Zhu Jue left the taxi, holding an umbrella in one hand and holding a wind chime in the other. The brand-name windbreaker on his body had been replaced by a special product of Yimeng before he arrived. On the surface, it looked like a piece of clothing that was sold on the roadside for more than 100 yuan. A low-quality beige coat that can be purchased with federal currency.

01:00PM, temperature 16℃.

At this time of year, Thousand Sails City is much colder than Dawn City.

“Our store is on the corner out front.”

After Suzi paid the bill, he took out their luggage from the trunk of the taxi, walked to Zhu Jue and whispered.

The Yi League agreed to her application to participate in the mission. On the one hand, it was because of Zhu Jue's request, and on the other hand, Suzi herself also submitted the application. With her special status in the Yi League, her accumulated achievements over the years allowed Yi Meng to It would be difficult for league leaders to refute her opinion.

The reasons given by Suzi were also very straightforward. In addition to finding the intelligent race among the monsters that caused mental pollution, she directly stated in the application that the world was so vast and she wanted to see it.

It can be said to be quite willful.

In order to match the status of the neighborhood, she specially dyed part of her hair lavender. Zhu Jue was originally asked to dye his hair, but he decisively refused, so he finally chose a tattoo, which was made with the help of a scavenger. A special tattoo that can be changed at any time.

A black snake with its middle section cut off by a long knife!

"Our current location is in the middle and low-rise urban area of ​​​​Qianfan City. It is about the 20th to 35th floors. The place has been purchased in advance by our local members of the Yi League in our name. Now we have to go and talk to the people over there first. People meet to sign contracts.”

Just as they were talking, the two passed through a gray metal arch built above the road. There were lights on it flickering in the rain. Zhu Jue subconsciously looked up and saw that a wide black metal elevated road was being transferred and spliced ​​amidst the rumbling sound. Somewhere in the building on the other side, Suzi continued to say,

"What we are passing through now is the Hue Value Monitoring Gate. All people passing through will be detected. If there is any abnormality, they will be targeted by the patrol force of the local community. That's them."

Raising his finger to the top of his head, Zhu Jue looked up along his fingertips. What he saw was a black armed airship with the Yuanfan Machinery Group's iconic gear. At this time, the warning light on the top of the airship kept flashing. Know where you are going to perform your mission.

After crossing an intersection and walking along the right side of the street, the two soon saw their shop.

It was a closed private clinic. It was not big, but it was not as small as expected. The left and right ends were about 10 meters together. Zhu Jue had seen information about this private clinic on the plane before he came.

Because the original owner was doing well and had made enough money, he was planning to move to a higher urban area and replace his customers with people with higher spending power, so the store was vacated and the store was listed. For sale and indicate that if needed, the instruments in the clinic can be sold at a low price.

Of course, they are all "old guys" who have been using them for several years.

Zhu Jue naturally didn't care about this. After all, he was not here to be a doctor. Old equipment was better, as it could reduce a lot of customer flow.

Suzi contacted the seller at the door, and soon a middle-aged man came out of the clinic.

"Bernard, I'm the seller's agent. It's nice to meet you two. I've only arrived not long ago. You two were very punctual."

Holding a bunch of keys in his hand, wearing a suit and leather shoes, according to the procedure, he naturally had to introduce the entire clinic to these two guests.

In order not to arouse suspicion, the two people who had already known the situation in advance did not refuse.

The entire private clinic is divided into two floors. The second floor is the living area, with two bedrooms, one living room and two bathrooms. There is nothing to say about this. When the previous ex moved out, he hired a cleaning company to take care of it, and it was empty.

The first floor is the main body of the clinic. Because it is just a general clinic, there is no intensive care unit. There is only an ordinary ward with ten crude beds. In addition, it is a testing room for physical examination. Small operating rooms, treatment rooms, pharmacies, offices, etc.

Because Zhu Jue bought it in full, and the seller had no intention of cheating Zhu Jue in these places, the equipment in the entire clinic was maintained at a certain level, and the medicines in the pharmacy were all available.

After walking back and forth, Zhu Jue didn't ask any more questions and settled the balance neatly. It was only more than half of the monthly income of Shuojin Platform, so there was no pressure on him.

After the agent left, only Zhu Jue and Suzi were left in the entire clinic.

Zhu Jue slowly made himself a cup of tea and sat in the office. He held a basic manual for doctors in his hand and flipped through it while waiting for Mozi behind the desk to start "performing".

"Daily necessities have been purchased, all medical equipment in the clinic has been tested, and the operating status is normal. The quantity of medicines has been tested, and there are no expired medicines."

In just ten minutes or so, Suzi had truly taken control of the clinic.

"We need employees, and we need medical certificates."

The data flow in his eyes gradually dissipated, Suzi raised his head and looked at Zhu Jue and said.

After testing the clinic’s hardware, there is no problem, and the rest is the “software”.

Olivia said before that Zhu Jue couldn't be a doctor, and Zhu Jue knew this very well, so he didn't plan to be responsible for the clinic alone. Instead, he planned to recruit several doctors and nurses to help share the burden. He just had to pretend. I see some patients every day with Suzi's help and just pretend to be a doctor.

After receiving Zhu Jue's signal, Suzi posted the employment information online. There were two doctors and three nurses. This was a reasonable number of people. After all, this was just a private clinic in a medium-sized community in Xiacheng District. If it was too high-end, it would cause trouble.

As for the medical certificates, Zhu Jue has asked Chu Yun to entrust the federal government's office to handle it. They happen to have certain powers in these departments, not to mention that applying for certificates for a well-equipped clinic is one of their few jobs. .

Of course, they are actually only responsible for the clinics in the middle and lower classes of Xiacheng District. As for the big hospitals, it is not their turn yet.

By the time all aspects of the clinic had made preliminary plans, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and they couldn't leave because they had to wait for daily necessities to be delivered to their door.

Then it’s time to get down to business.

Suzi turned on the audio-visual stick and opened the street map of their location after connecting to the Internet.

The entire Thousand Sail City is a three-dimensional city. The streets are no longer limited to planes, and it is more common to be staggered up and down.

Take Shuguang City as an example. Although there are quite a few high-rise buildings in its urban structure, there are not many aerial corridors. Most of them are suspended rails as means of transportation. In the city center, these suspended rails are connected. The tracks were abandoned.

This is because in Dawn City, the top floors of high-rise buildings often belong to the middle class and the upper class. They use airboats to travel. Building these random corridors will only destroy the beauty of the building, which is the case in the Shenzhen Port District in Heywood. There is this kind of building.

The urban situation of Qianfan City can be said to be completely different from that of Shuguang City. Due to the existence of Qianfan City, a large number of poor people live in the middle-class and lower-class communities of Xiacheng District. The height of the buildings is generally very exaggerated, and the layers are layered. The traditional structure means that urban areas are often in a state of overlapping, and it is naturally impossible for streets to continue to be distributed in a plane.

The cost of building such a high-altitude street, which can easily reach hundreds of meters, is no joke. Therefore, instead of spending a lot of time to build such a thankless high-altitude street, it is better to change it to a small-scale up and down circulation road. In addition, In addition, movable streets are also installed in certain locations, which are roughly like the corridors in Harry Potter, except that the latter is magic and the former is pure technology.

As for going to further urban areas, you have to take an airboat or some public transportation. Throughout Qianfan City, you can see the city-circling sky railway built by the Wu family everywhere.

There are pros and cons brought by these buildings and means of transportation. No one can tell why. However, this situation makes the entire street network very complicated. If you are not careful, you will lose your way. Therefore, in order to take the next action, some Things naturally need to be communicated in advance.

The first priority for the two of them right now is to find out the driver named Sean who appeared in the killing game.

"In order to cooperate with the investigation, our clinic is located as close as possible to the street where the parade was held three years ago. This is Parrot Street, which belongs to Community No. 26, and the parade location where Sean appeared is in nearby Community No. 32. Given that The community situation in this city, I have reason to believe that Sean must have lived in this neighborhood three years ago, and there must be people in the parade who knew him.”

In three years, the circulation of residents in Qianfan City has been extremely low. As long as you rely on the parade video, you will definitely be able to find other people who participated in the parade at that time. The first step of Motoko's plan is to start from here.

"I'm going to start taking action in three days. You go find the reporter who reported on Sean's incident, and I'll go to the patrol department of Community No. 11 to find out the residents' information."

Why three days later?

The two people who just moved here must put their energy into running a private clinic. At least they must let others think that their energy is in this area, instead of leaving the clinic alone and looking for information everywhere.

"Also, it was inconvenient for me to ask on the plane before. Did you find any new information about the Ouroboros logo on the box?"

Besides Sean, Zhu Jue has other things he cares about.
