Overturned Tower

Chapter 226 Your hunch is quite accurate

Considering that four people were riding in the floating car, it was a bit crowded... So in the end, Ye Mao drove an ordinary car.

The space inside the float vehicle is actually not that small, but it did not consider the issue of carrying multiple people and carrying weight from the beginning of its design.

Its back seat has a small table for placing drinks, and a cabinet that combines a refrigerator and a water bar.

Whether it's refrigerated wine or cola, or coffee and tea that require hot water, they can be accessed at any time.

But that's about it.

The oil storage capacity of the float vehicle is not too strong, which is also because the float vehicle does not need to travel too far.

The time when it consumes the most fuel is when it rises and falls.

It is also at this time that people are most likely to get dizzy, and the price of the aerial vehicle is most tested... The higher the price, the better the experience of the aerial vehicle, but it will also consume more fuel.

When it is normally driven, because it flies in a straight line and the speed is very fast, it does not need to store too much fuel - at least it is enough to fly from one end of the floating island to the other. Because the flying distance is high enough, the trajectory can be changed at any time, and the speed is so fast that it cannot be targeted at all, let alone locked by psychic energy, there is no need to consider too much bulletproof performance.

Based on this design for daily use, the weight and volume of the floating vehicle must be reduced as much as possible, which will naturally reduce the load.

Therefore, the floating car has no co-pilot and no trunk.

The front row of the float car is as sharp and streamlined as the nose of an airplane... The back row is relatively wide, like a sofa, but if it is decent, it can only seat two people at most.

In fact, if three people are squeezed together, they can sit. After all, Russell and Ice Water are not very big.

But Symbol of Autumn Leaves still strongly rejected the floating car.

It wasn't that she was shy about being squeezed together with Russell... the reason she mentioned was that she had some psychological shadow over the floating car.

But Russell felt that she was still worried about damaging Delphinium's floating car.

Autumn leaves symbolize this type of prosthetic person who has undergone ultra-high-strength modifications. Because his weight is completely excessive, he is usually not allowed to board the airship, let alone use the elevator. Even sky trains and buses are not allowed to be used... because they will not only cause a lot of wear and tear on public facilities, but also cause unnecessary dangers.

Unless it is "necessary to perform official duties", you are not even allowed to run at full speed on the street. The speed is usually limited... because running at full speed will break the road and may cause damage like a humanoid dump truck. Dead man.

If she rides on an official float, she may damage the group's float; if she rides on Delphinium's private car, she may damage her private car.

Even if it is a car that runs on land, it is still difficult to select one that can be used by the symbol of autumn leaves. After all, among the heavily modified prosthetics, Akiba Symbol is also the heaviest.

They finally chose the one with the strongest bulletproof performance and the strongest load-bearing capacity - that is, the director's escort car.

When human directors travel and cannot use floating vehicles, they need bodyguards to protect them. But after all, the number of people who can sit in the car is limited... so there will be this kind of escort car, one behind the other, responsible for opening the road and accompanying everyone.

——It’s not so much an escort vehicle as it is a better-looking personnel carrier.

Because the seats inside are not comfortable at all, they are quite hard seats. Fortunately, it's spacious enough, so at least we don't have to squeeze together. This is also prepared to bear the weight of the prosthetic body.

"Speaking of which, Ultramarine."

The symbol of autumn leaves sitting next to Russell said to him enthusiastically: "You haven't been in an escort car yet, right?"

"really."

Russell nodded: "When I travel, I usually use a floating car. Because I want to pursue speed... If I don't pursue speed, I usually take public transportation."

"Then I'll show you something interesting."

With that said, the symbol of autumn leaves opened the box in front of Russell.

Russell's eyes widened in shock - because he saw a pistol inside.

"The matching bullets inside are tranquilizer bullets," Qiuye said briskly, reaching out and tapping another small hidden compartment under it, "There are real bullets here."

"Having a gun is against company law, right?"

Bing Shui also came over from the other side of Russell's body, his eyes a little bright: "Can I touch it?"

"Please, Miss Bingshui."

Qiuye Symbol said with a smile: "Company law also depends on the target.

"Of course it is illegal to hold a gun, but who is responsible for enforcing the law? It is not our enforcement department."

"But I think Minister Delphinium's own weapon is just a Taser."

Bing Shui was a little surprised: "And when you go to Xiacheng District to perform tasks, don't you always carry non-lethal weapons?"

Speaking of which, the symbolic expression of autumn leaves is a bit subtle.

She did not answer immediately, but looked at Russell.

The meaning is obvious. It's not suitable for her to say when the leader is present... If you want to say something, just ask Russell directly.

As a member of the Special Execution Department, Russell, whose job title is roughly equivalent to the deputy director of the Execution Department, nodded.

"That's it," Russell said softly, "Going to clean up the uncensored people in the lower city and guarding the directors... these are completely different concepts.

“The former is about showing justice and maintaining law and order, while the latter just needs to complete the task.

"If you fail to protect the director, something will happen. If you successfully kill the assassin, you will get a salary increase and promotion."

"But isn't that killing people?"

The reporter asked stubbornly: "This violates the First Consensus Act."

"At most, it's just death in a social sense."

Russell shook his head: "This identity is sentenced to murder and guilty. Then what?"

"Then……?"

"Then, the prisoner can be transferred back to the execution department according to the process. If he doesn't want to follow this trick, or doesn't want to work in the execution department, he can also have his whole body transformed into a prosthetic body and change his identity.

"These days, whether it's plastic surgery or gender reassignment, it's easy. In the end, it's just another ID... At most, it's just a chip change.

"Uncoded people can't change the chip, but the head office certainly can."

When he said this, he couldn't help but think of Xiao Liuli.

His expression suddenly became a little complicated: "Even a branch office is fine."

When he first came to Happy Island three months ago, he still knew nothing about it... He was as naive as Miss Bingshui.

But now, he has gradually become more proficient.

The price paid is to witness tragedy again and again.

"You also said, [Company Law]. The company law is set by the head office, and it is also implemented by the head office and even supervised by the head office."

He said and glanced at the ice water: "Isn't this what Tian'en Daily does.

"The content of your reports is probably often restricted.

"Miss Bai Xue is obviously much more cautious than Xiao Liuli in her reporting. I don't believe this is due to her personality... This must be the request of the leaders of your Tian'en Daily."

Bing Shui was silent about this.

Obviously, Russell was right.

Although the reporting and interview process itself is uploaded to the Internet simultaneously, cannot be deleted, and will be permanently preserved by the Cyber Church.

But the part before the interview can be interfered with. For the same thing, the direction of the reporter's questions during the interview, the timing of ending the topic, and even the inducements and hints in emotions and words can all be decided in advance.

If a reporter is paid, they can maliciously control the content of the interview.

That's why Xiao Liuli was followed by her "bodyguards" around the clock, and even had a gun pointed at her head during interviews.

They are nominally bodyguards to protect them, but as long as their interviews exceed a certain limit... some bodyguards will immediately "turn into assassins who sneak in."

"Now that Miss Bingshui has become the chief reporter, she will probably be exposed to this kind of thing soon."

Russell said softly: "Actually...'hero' has roughly the same meaning."

Bing Shui didn't reply.

She turned her head slightly, obviously feeling a little depressed.

"There are people unloading goods at the intersection ahead."

Night Owl suddenly said casually: "What's in that big box?"

"Um?"

This is a T-intersection, and they are going straight.

Because there were people unloading goods in front, blocking most of the intersection, the car could only slow down.

The next moment, Russell suddenly felt a sense of crisis, and his tail immediately stood up.

He looked sideways at the window on the side of the ice water——

——I saw a large, fully loaded truck crashing towards them without any sound!
