Chapter 565 The spreading obscurity

Kara~

A corner of the electronic screen hit a small piece of glass on the ground and made a crisp sound. The middle-aged man wearing white labor protection gloves and gray overalls was startled. He looked down in a panic and found that the glass was broken. He couldn't help but feel shocked. Take a breath.

"Lao He, just wash it here."

The young man wearing the same clothes as him said in a muffled voice.

"Okay, I'll put the water on and you can wipe it."

Drag the electronic screen to the entrance of the alley, take the store owner's electronic card and slide it over the water outlet at the base of the wall.

Balance: 16

Please select mode: cold, hot.

The water supply in the high-rise communities of Qianfan City is not sufficient. Coupled with the unique vertical urban structure, in addition to the upper-class communities, the outdoor water supply devices in the middle and lower-level communities in the entire city require special water cards to activate.

For poor families, the daily water bill is a headache.

A column of water as thick as a thumb came out of the external leather tube. Old He held it carefully. The young man's little finger and ring finger held a curved wire. The other three fingers used a sponge pad to wipe and clean the outer hanging of the electronic screen. Some "holiday remnants".

During the Ghost Festival, all major shops will be decorated, and because of the continuous snow in the past few days, many devices are stuck to the edges of the devices. Now that the Ghost Festival is over, it is natural to find a way to clean it up, otherwise it will be hung on the facade. It always makes people feel embarrassed.

What Lao He and this young man did was help people clean up. This was not their main job. It was a job for extra money. Normally, it was not very profitable, but Xu had just made a lot of money during the Ghost Festival. Shopkeepers are generally in a good mood during this period, and even if they don't get a salary increase, they will give some other gifts as a top-up.

"I have to go home after washing this. I have been working for ten hours today and my waist is almost broken. What about you, aren't you tired? I see that you haven't stopped since early this morning. It's almost 20 hours. Making money is It's a good thing, but you can't risk your own body."

The young man glanced at the man next to him. He had deep-set eye frames and thick bags under his eyes. Coupled with his pale complexion, he looked not only tired, but even mentally weak.

"Of course I know that, but I can only make some extra money these days, so I have to try to do more. After I finish this, I plan to go home and rest."

He was very aware of how overwhelmed his body was. He touched his temples with water on both sides of his fingers, trying to keep himself awake and continue working.

Fortunately, it doesn't take long to clean an electronic screen. In about ten minutes, the two of them put it back on the front door and packed up their things to go home.

The traffic and noise on the street made people irritated. Lao He, who was already tired, simply turned into the alley and prepared to go home through the outer streets.

"Hi~hoo~"

After taking a sip of hot water, I felt soreness in every part of my body after being separated from work, and the scene in front of me also had a vague double image.

He decided to sit down and rest for a while before going on the road.

Putting his backpack on the ground, he leaned against the wall, took another sip of hot water, and looked at the gorgeous neon lights outside the fence, where the holographic projections were wandering around the city.

This is a unique beauty that belongs to Thousand Sails City, but it does not belong to him, an old resident of Thousand Sails City.

"Let's go!"

Cheer yourself up and put your hands on the wall to get up.

Suddenly there was a foreign object floating in front of his eyes, and he followed it subconsciously. What he saw was a black and purple ball the size of a fist. It looked like a bubble. No, the bubble should be translucent, but this ball was filled with something that made him feel If something is uncomfortable, follow its floating trajectory and look upward.

The trembling sensation made his body tremble uncontrollably.

what is that?

In an unintentional glance, he saw that in the center of the city, countless disgusting black and purple bubbles were gathering again.

Just when he wanted to take a closer look at what it was.

In the blink of an eye again, it disappeared into the central void.

Brilliant neon light filled the place again.

Is this an illusion?

It must be an illusion!

As a human being, his reason is trying his best to convince him that all this is an illusion he produced in a state of extreme fatigue, because he cannot think too much, even if it is just a moment of memory.

At the same time, on the second floor of a private clinic a few blocks away, Zhu Jue was also looking at the night scene outside the window.

He had to admit that the night view of Thousand Sail City was undoubtedly more beautiful than that of Dawn City. However, if his eyes drifted occasionally, he would eventually land in the center of the void layer. Although the predicted scene had not appeared in his dreams recently, Zhu Jue always felt it in his heart. There's a weird sense of urgency.

It seemed that everything was happening in a dark corner that he didn't know about.

Rona and his family had been put on a plane to Dawn City two hours ago. Lisanna would be there to meet him, and the benefits promised before would not be less. This was in addition to Zhu Jue's share. Guilt.

After deceiving others for so long, this compensation would probably satisfy Rona.

"Are you going to a press conference?"

Suzi sat on the sofa behind Zhu Jue, and Gu Yinxing was also beside her.

Half an hour ago, Newcastle contacted Zhu Jue. He thought it was just a routine communication, but who would have thought that the former actually expressed that he wanted Zhu Jue. No, to be precise, Hannibal Lecter should be their scavenger this time. Those who were commended for their actions received awards from the Qianfan City government.

The reasons are quite good. On the one hand, Zhu Jue can take this opportunity to stay in the government team legitimately. The communication with Newcastle can be completely covered by publicity. Following the lessons learned from Rhone, Newcastle is completely blocked this time. He was the only one who knew that Rona had left a replacement.

On the other hand, this is actually a measure to protect Zhu Jue. The most dangerous place is the safest place. Maintaining a high degree of exposure will make most people with ill intentions give up attacking Zhu Jue, not to mention that he only needs to participate in the press conference , accepts the government's commendation, if others want to touch him, they must consider the reaction of the Thousand Sail City government.

The most important thing is that this suggestion is reasonable and will not arouse suspicion.

In order to stabilize the mood of the people at the bottom, the Qianfan City government has proposed a total of ten places, five of which are for employed doctors and police personnel, and the remaining five are for medical staff working in the bottom communities.

After Newcastle returned to the epidemic prevention center to check the name of Hannibal Lecter, he found that he was one of the few doctors among all employees who stayed in the lower-class communities after the blackout, and he was also the only one with a private clinic. Director, no one can blame such a person for receiving a place of commendation.

"Of course, this is a good opportunity to contact the Thousand Sails City government. Regardless of whether we can find the mole planted by the Ouroboros organization in the government, at least it will allow me to get some latest information through Newcastle."

Zhu Jue did not intend to wait for the Ouroboros organization to implement its next plan. He planned to take the initiative to look for opportunities.

"Is there anything we can do to help?"

After leaving the lower-class community, Gu Yinxing couldn't wait to continue tracking down the Ouroboros organization. She wanted to play a big enough role in destroying these cult organizations, so as to comfort those who stood in front of her when the crisis came. companion.

"Of course, Ginkgo, I need you to continue to search for traces of the Ouroboros organization in the lower city and be responsible for liaison with the Ranger organization. You are the only one among the three of us who knows something about the Ranger organization. Apart from you, No one else can do it.”

He looked back at the two of them and continued,

"Motoko, please help me edit the video as soon as possible. It only needs the battle part in the contaminated area, including my aerial bombing of the Bone Tree and the subsequent battle with the monster. I think this is enough for the Qianfan City government to take action against the Ouroboros organization. Maintaining a higher vigilance may also make the Ouroboros organization less able to restrain its desire to kill me. We still can't figure out their real plan, and any method that can delay time is worth trying."

"No problem, I'll get it done as soon as possible."

Motoko responded.

"Okay, you two continue to stay in the clinic, I have to go out."

After finishing what should be explained, Zhu Jue was ready to go out again.

"Now? Is there anything urgent?"

"What's important to me, specifically, is the after-sales service and personal medication experience."

The previous conversation with the ancient man was not enough for Zhu Jue to fully understand his changes. He needed a more comprehensive answer in order to better understand his body!
