Chapter 3472: Chosen Wilderman
The personnel outside have been driven away, and roadblocks have been set up on both sides of the bridge... Engineering aircraft are flying through the bridge piers.
Ximen Ka, who was holding a tablet and watching the real-time images at any time, couldn't help but look solemn.
"Each bridge pier is made of raw wood piles. It's really outrageous."
Like Ximen Ka, Liu Jinghe also had a solemn look on his face. Once the matter was exposed, it would probably cause an unprecedented round of fierce criticism, which would particularly affect the image of the city government - after all, this was an infrastructure project and it would ultimately be officially accepted.
It's just that this Huoyun Bridge has been built for many years. If we want to hold the original builder responsible...
Ximen Ka suddenly asked: "Secretary Liu, do you want to report this matter to your boss?"
Liu Jinghe said calmly: "The mayor knew about it immediately."
Ximenka shrugged: "I'm talking about another boss."
Liu Jinghe frowned, "What do you mean? The contractor for Huoyun Bridge was... did you think it was Pingtian Group?"
"What's going on?" Ximen Ka was stunned and carefully checked the construction information of the Huoyun Bridge... This is a very qualified construction company. It not only built the Huoyun Bridge, but also undertook part of the construction project of [Infinite City] that year.
The previous parent company of this construction company was not the Pingtian Group, but... Huowang - it became one of the subsidiaries of the Pingtian Group only after the Pingtian Group took over the Huowang Group.
Ximen Ka knew that he was being empirical this time...but he realized that it also meant how terrifying the control of the [Pingtian] Group over [Huoyun City] was.
"Secretary Liu!" Xiang Shaoyu came over in a hurry. "Director Ximen... We checked the surveillance video outside and found this. Please take a look."
The camera was located in a rather hidden corner. This was part of the Skynet Project, promoted by the city government and jointly implemented by the Pingtian Group and the Huoyun General Administration. A surveillance system was implanted in every corner of all urban areas.
At this time, the video shows that at around four in the morning, a shadow area suddenly appeared near the river.
Liu Jinghe and Ximenka frowned at the same time.
Xiang Shaoyu said in a deep voice: "And similar places appeared seven in total on both sides of the river bank, almost at the same time."
Ximenka checked it out and said, "This location is the closest. Let's go over there and take a look first."
It didn't take long for the three of them to arrive at the place where one of the shadows appeared... It was in a public toilet on the greenway along the river bank.
When the three arrived, they saw a homeless man with a particularly pale face carrying a snakeskin bag and walking out.
His eyes were empty, numb, and lifeless... The appearance of the homeless man completely matched people's impression of this group - he seemed not to have noticed the three brightly dressed people coming at this time, he lowered his head and walked towards the path.
"stop."
The homeless man pretended not to hear anything and walked forward to Shaoyu, put his hand on the other's shoulder. The homeless man suddenly turned around, opened his mouth and rushed out like a madman - but was knocked to the ground in an instant.
"Passive!" Xiang Shaoyu suppressed the homeless man with one hand, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you and what are you doing here!"
“Ah…Ah…Ah!! Ah!!” The homeless man struggled frantically, as if he had completely lost his mind.
Seeing this, Ximen Ka knocked the homeless man unconscious directly, while Liu Jinghe pondered for a moment and opened the snakeskin bag that the homeless man had dropped on the ground... Soon, he pulled out an unnamed spirit tablet made of black wood from the bag.
On the back of the nameless spirit tablet, there is a blood-colored word "Prison".
The three of them stared at each other, "This is..."
……
Soon, through the function of Skynet, Simon Ka sent out law enforcement officers to arrest a homeless man in another shady place, and found an unknown spirit tablet from the homeless man's hand.
There are seven of them in total, placed together, exuding a sinister aura.
"These homeless people seem to be controlled by someone." Xiang Shaoyu pondered, "Who could be collecting these things?"
"It's not collection, it's retrieval." Ximenka thought for a moment and said, "Someone should have deliberately placed this thing here in the early morning... Look at the positions of all the shadows, this is a [Seven Stars] sequence. If I'm not mistaken, this seems to be something from the [Ninth Prison]... Secretary Liu."
Liu Jinghe said: "When we eradicated the Ninth Prison branch in Huoyun City, we seized a lot of information about the branch... The word "prison" did appear many times."
"Could it really be those remnants who attacked the mission this time?" Xiang Shaoyu asked in surprise, "These guys are doomed, and after their branch was wiped out, they were like rats crossing the street. How dare they come out and cause trouble?"
Ximen Ka said calmly: "Perhaps there are not many remnants in [Fire Cloud City], but all over the world, in the major continents, and in many of their branches, even if they are all wiped out, there are still many remnants who escaped. I heard that after the division of the six realms, the [Netherworld] clan has lost its homeland, and even the [Underworld] doesn't want them anymore, so they can only wander in the [Human World]..."
"Anyway, the general direction is known." Liu Jinghe thought for a moment and said, "I will communicate with the senior management of the General Administration about this matter... Director Ximen, your first priority at the moment is to protect the delegation."
Simon Ka shrugged. He would rather investigate the truth of the attack than do security work - but who made it possible for the security work to be done by the Holy Lord of the Luoshen Holy Land himself?
He couldn't refuse.
Liu Jinghe quickly led his men away and took away seven nameless memorial tablets... The director of the South City District was in charge of the follow-up investigation of the bridge attack site, so Ximen Ka had to drive to the meeting site.
Xiang Shaoyu was in the same car with him.
"By the way, how is Tudu's injury?"
"I heard from the rescue team that the cut on his arm is very smooth, and the chances of him fully recovering after it's reattached are very high." Xiang Shaoyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Just think of it as a vacation."
Ximenka nodded and said, "Let me tell you what happened at that time."
……
……
The river was rushing... In the upper reaches of the river, the water suddenly shook, and in a belt of reeds, a figure was seen breaking out of the water and walking towards the shore in an extremely embarrassed manner - the enchanting "old sister-in-law".
The left side of the "sister-in-law's" waist and abdomen looked like a piece had been dug out directly, and through the horrific wound, one could see the beating of her internal organs.
Recalling the moment when the black meteor fell, the "old sister-in-law" was still in shock - even though she had escaped death, she was still directly cut off part of her body by being hit by the black meteor.
"Old sister-in-law" didn't dare to imagine, if the black meteor pierced his chest... he would probably be reincarnated.
"These damn rats didn't even tell me that the other party had such a horrible killing weapon..." The "old sister-in-law" fell exhausted directly on the river bank and turned over with difficulty. At this time, any movement would cause terrible pain.
If it weren't for the ability of [Forbidden Gear - Crown of the Spider Queen], he wouldn't have been able to swim upstream with such injuries and avoid the search.
"Found it, Master Buu! Here it is!"
"Old sister-in-law" suddenly felt that all the pores on his body stood up... A ball of devil fire with a terrifying aura suddenly gathered around him - gathered into a figure wrapped in a black robe.
The person who came looked quite excited, and looked at him as if he had found prey.
The “old sister-in-law” was horrified. From the other party’s aura, it was not difficult to judge that this was a powerful emperor with terrifying strength - and such a terrifying person, who she would have to temporarily retreat when she met him in all her strength, actually mentioned a "master"?
Then, under the horrified gaze of the "old sister-in-law", a fat, pink weirdo slowly walked over... drooling.
"Don't come over here...Don't come over here!!"
Ah...swallow.
[Magic Stomach Buu] succeeded in jungle again.
……
……
……
……
In an open-air cafe on a busy street corner, Lin SIR placed his phone on the table, took a sip of tea, and sighed, "I've asked, and the Holy Land delegation has safely arrived at the city hall, but the meeting will be postponed to the afternoon... As for the attack, it's still under investigation, and there won't be any news in the short term."
Lin SIR’s intelligence network is naturally...Captain Miyuki.
However, Captain Miyuki only learned the information from the internal network and her knowledge was limited.
He glanced at Xiao Luo SIR and hesitated, "Idol, do you think we should go back to the headquarters?"
Driven by the sense of justice in his heart, Lin SIR was obviously a little restless at this moment.
Xiao Luo said, "The defense force of [Huoyun City] is sufficient. Wasn't this attack resolved quickly? They should be very busy now. If you show up, I'm afraid they will think too much."
Lin SIR was quite upset. He envied the stars, became a star, and was tired of being a star.
"...Have you forgotten what you came out for today?" The immortal suddenly said with his eyes slanted.
"Okay, [Infinite City]." Lin SIR nodded, then took the initiative to pay the bill... Are you kidding me? It's not right for an idol to treat you to tea.
"Hello sir, thank you for the 75 yuan."
Looking at the young lady with a sweet smile at the front desk, Lin SIR couldn't help but be stunned... Mainly because he saw many traces of joints on the young lady's body... Puppet shape?
He gave Zhang a hundred yuan in spiritual notes and subconsciously took a look around the teahouse. He found that the level of automation was quite high, and even the one serving the food was a small rectangular robot.
His divine sense quietly swept over the cashier lady's body and discovered that her body was full of metal and circuits... She was not a puppet made by [Yunzhongliao] in the traditional sense.
...Yes, what kind of background would allow an ordinary teahouse to use a puppet? But even if it is a machine, the degree of simulation is very high, right?
"Sir, here is your change. Welcome to come next time."
"You're welcome."
……
This time, she did not continue to use the public transportation system. Instead, she directly chartered a private car. Obviously, although she had seen all the prosperity in the world, she still liked to enjoy it and did not intend to endure hardship.
"It seems that your idol has been to [Infinite City] several times with Ma Sir before?" Lin Sir suddenly asked.
Xiao Luo SIR said: "I've been here a few times, it's really an interesting place."
The immortal squinted his eyes… What you said is interesting, it’d be better if it’s really interesting.
The special car did not dare to drive into the [Infinite City] and only dared to stop at one of the entrances to the lower city area... and even gave a discount before leaving in a hurry.
The three got off the car, but at the entrance, they saw a young man squatting in the corner, playing with his mobile phone - Li Bai.
Mr. Lin smiled and said, "I looked for him this morning. He was very happy to hear that your idol was back, so he said he would come too."
"Brother Feng!" Li Bai had obviously seen him, and he trotted over and said with a smile, "Mr. Luo, nice to meet again. I thought it would be difficult to meet again after we parted in Kunlun."
"I'm also surprised to meet you here." Xiao Luo SIR smiled slightly, "Perhaps we should thank fate for our meeting."
Li Bai immediately covered his chest exaggeratedly, "Oops, this is actually the feeling of being moved!"
As if sensing a sense of crisis, Mr. Lin hurriedly said, "Okay, let's go in first. I don't want to stop here and let the people inside watch me all day."
Many eyes were fixed on this place at this moment...There was obviously more than one set of eyes at this entrance.
The bosses in the city always know who enters and leaves [Infinite City] every day.
"By the way, Li Bai, the General Administration's law enforcement didn't make things difficult for you yesterday, did it?" Lin SIR thought for a while and asked - he was afraid of trouble, so he left early, so Li Bai should have left a little later.
"I'm just a law-abiding citizen, what can possibly happen to me?" Li Bai shrugged. "But the news about the spiritual club has spread, and the bosses in the lower districts are all asking about it. I heard that the lower district security team dealt with a high-ranking official today because this guy seemed to have provided assistance to the spiritual club before."
Today, Daxian came to [Infinite City] to buy materials. With Li Bai's recommendation, he quickly found a materials market in the lower area.
"Cloud Vine, Fallen Cherry Stone... Thousand-Year Mica Essence... What else?" Lin SIR, who was carrying a lot of bags, looked at the list, "It's really amazing that [Infinite City] can find almost all these materials."
"We are still short of one material for the main formation." The immortal withdrew his gaze from a street stall, "It seems that there is no more around here...Apart from here, are there any other markets?"
Li Bai thought for a moment and said, "This is the best market in the lower area. If you can't find it here, you can only look in the middle area. There is also a high-end market there... The other one is [Room 8]. In addition to high-end materials, there are also many things of unknown origin, but you need to have access qualifications."
"Room 8?" Lin was stunned. "I've heard of such a place in Infinite City before... I heard that it's guarded by the king of Infinite City himself. There's nothing you can't find inside."
"It's not that magical." Li Bai smiled and said, "But sometimes you can find something special. If you are interested..."
"You're not going to say that you just happened to have an admission ticket or something?" Lin SIR asked suspiciously.
"How can that be possible? I mean, we can buy some admission permits." Li Bai shook his head and said, "Because of the special nature of Room 8, many people want to get in but don't have a way, so people with resources have come up with a way to leak out some permits... I heard that they can be bought on the black market in the lower levels."
"This spell is actually quite good."
As they were walking and talking, the immortal suddenly stopped in front of a small shop whose storefront was less than two meters wide... She directly picked up a talisman on display and began to examine it carefully.
Mr. Lin looked inside the counter and saw a man in shorts and a T-shirt, dozing off... With a palm-leaf fan covering his face, he looked like an old man.
"Boss, how much is this talisman?" Tan Tai asked calmly and directly.
The palm-leaf fan was moved aside. The shop owner, who was now bleary-eyed with messy hair, subconsciously looked at the people coming to the stall... His eyes fell on Xiao Luo SIR, and he was obviously stunned for a long time.
"You seem to be..." The owner of the talisman shop opened his mouth.
Xiao Luo SIR smiled and said, "Hello, long time no see, Mr. Yun Xinghe."
Lin SIR also slapped his head at this time, "Yun Xinghe... I remember now, you were from the previous [Ji Lei Shan] incident..."
……
"...Do you want to go to [Room 8]?" Yun Xinghe...Axing looked at the three people suspiciously at this time.
He was invited in to the living room behind the shop... and we briefly reminisced about the past.
The Immortal was now examining Yun Xinghe's products with great interest, his gaze lingering from time to time... He had not expected to see a talisman maker with superb talisman skills in a lower continent.
"Yes, I wanted to find some materials, so I searched the lower area." Mr. Lin nodded.
Yun Xinghe thought for a moment and said, "If you really want to go to [Room 8], I might be able to provide some help. I know someone who sells admission qualifications, but there is one condition. You have to prepare an extra spot for me."
"Mr. Yun also wants to go in?" Xiao Luo SIR asked curiously.
Yun Xinghe pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I also need to find something, and I know that there are some in [Room 8], but you also saw that... with my financial resources, it is difficult for me to have the opportunity to enter. Of course, even if I am not there, it should not be difficult for you to find someone who is qualified to sell it if you ask around a little bit."
"No need. I agree to your request. Go ahead and contact them." Tan Tai said calmly, "I don't want to waste time on this kind of thing... Also, your talisman-making skills are very good, not much worse than Huoyun's [Yu Family]. Why do you want to waste time on this kind of thing?"
Yun Xinghe didn't answer, but shrugged, "Wait a minute, I'll go contact someone."
He went out directly. Li Bai picked up a talisman and studied it carefully. He said in amazement: "Don't mention it, this method is really interesting. I didn't realize that there are such talents in the lower district."
At this time, Xiao Luo SIR briefly talked about Yun Xinghe's personal experiences, and mentioned that Yun Xinghe had competed with [Jade Festival] a few years ago...
Speaking of the [Jade Festival], Lin SIR gossiped to the Immortal about her and Niu Daguang... the legend of the most powerful mistress in [Huoyun City].
