Walk through the structure of the Ark and wander on the continent of Terra

"Chase!" Alpha blinked, and a strange light appeared in her eyes. Whether it was tracking the items she had noticed or retracing the movements of any person, it was easy for her.

After learning that Xu Yu's stolen wallet was used by her to collect movie tickets, Seria and Hemo also firmly believed that they should pursue it to the end.The four of them didn't care about eating, and quickly followed the direction in which the thief left.

At first, the little thief didn't notice that he was being chased, and he walked at a relatively relaxed pace. After going around in circles a few times, the little thief walked towards the old town of Longmen.

The old city of Longmen is one of the earliest urban areas in Longmen. It is also the slum area of ​​Longmen. It is an area where people of all kinds hide together. The structure here is between a village in the city and an old city. The streets are narrow and numerous. The buildings are complex and complex.But let alone ordinary urban villages, not even the roads of Kowloon Walled City can stop Alpha's tracking ability like cheating.

Entering the old city, the little thief had obviously discovered that someone was following him. He quickened his pace, trying to get rid of the pursuer.

But facing Alpha who uses God's perspective to lock and track, let alone ordinary thieves, even if Terra's strongest stealth master comes, he will have to see through the trajectory of his actions and have nowhere to hide.

Alpha took out a tactical communicator and threw it to Ceria, and the two quickly tested the device's communication. "Let's divide our troops into two groups. The alley 200 meters ahead will flank him from both sides. We can force him into a dead end."

"no problem."

……

An Suo is a habitual thief. In the old city of Longmen, this is a very common livelihood. For a child like her who was forced to leave home to support herself before she reached adulthood because her family was poor and unable to support her, she did not have any skills and If you don't want to sell your body, you can only rely on petty theft to get money for daily survival...

Walking through the busy traffic in the core city and the alleys in the old city, Ansuo lamented that today was really unlucky. There were no targets in the old city, so he was forced to go to Dagu Square and finally saw a few wealthy families who were unprepared. Miss, I randomly picked someone to attack, and the wallet I stole only contained two worthless small denominations of foreign currency, and the rest were all used movie ticket stubs...

She still had to find a target. Just when she was about to look for a new target, she found that she was being followed. This time the idea was a bit tricky!Those four rich ladies couldn't be plainclothes officers of the Longmen Guard Bureau. It was impossible. I had never made any mistakes in this regard!

The other party's footsteps are getting closer and closer, and the complex terrain of the old city cannot stop the other party's footsteps. Who is the other party, and why is he so familiar with the roads in the old city?While she was thinking about it, she suddenly realized that she was surrounded. The enemy's soldiers divided into two groups and surrounded her in an alley. The only way left was a dead end!

"Officers, spare your life! I won't dare to do it anymore!" I tried all the escape skills I had learned all my life but still couldn't get rid of the pursuit. I was afraid that I might have offended the Special Supervision Team of the Guards Bureau. At this time, I Even if you run over the wall, you might be caught when you land.

At the entrance of the dead-end alley, Ansuo finally chose to kneel down and surrender. He raised the stolen wallet high and expressed his willingness to return it and that he did not want to run away anymore.

"We are not police officers." Alpha took back Xu Yu's wallet from the little purple-haired Custer girl who was holding up the French military salute. She recognized the little thief in front of her, the main operator who persecuted the regicide in the game era. , the first hook operator of the Young Swordsman Tower, who steals the secret clue of the Swordsman Tower's rice card every day. "We are just ordinary tourists chasing after us to get our things back."

Alpha didn't say those kind of words to persuade people not to continue stealing. As the saying goes, don't persuade others to do good without suffering others' suffering.Alpha saw the Origin Stone crystal on Ansuo's leg. Even in Longmen, which is relatively open-minded in management, the living environment of infected people is very difficult, not to mention that she is still an infected child who was born in a slum.

"Sisters, please leave quickly. This is Gambino's territory..." Seeing that the person in front of him didn't intend to continue to make things difficult for him, Ansuo hesitated and said this.But at this time, noisy footsteps sounded in the surrounding streets and alleys.

Seria immediately realized that something was wrong, and she immediately protected Hemo and Xu Yu behind her. "Alpha, there are about twenty gangsters and we are surrounded."

"I know," Alpha, who originally didn't want to cause trouble, put on a cold expression and looked at the habitual thief girl in front of him, "If you are willing to give me an explanation, I won't embarrass you."

The sudden rise of murderous aura in Alpha's body frightened An Suo, who was already at a loss. He collapsed on the ground with a plop, tears bursting out of his eyes, "I was forced too..."

Xiao Ansuo told her story in tears. Some time ago, she met two infected children under the age of ten in a slum. Just like her own experience, they were abandoned by their families for various reasons and had to wander. Begging for a living.Ansuo felt sorry for their plight, so he took the two children in his little hiding place.But not long after, a group of mafia from Syracuse entered this area. They seemed to have received the approval of a certain underground power boss in the old city, and this area was brought under their command.

All the people who are engaged in illegal business in this neighborhood have to pay higher protection fees every month than before. They found out about themselves and threatened to kill the two infected children if they could not pay the protection fees on time. Begging on the streets again.

"How dare a plainclothes man enter my Gambino territory? Beat me to death!" Everyone heard shouts from behind a group of thugs.

43.Calm days part.10

"Alfa, it seems we have to move around." Ceria untied her windbreaker and handed it to Hermer, who was standing behind her. "Do you have any good ideas?"

"I don't like to swallow my anger. If the worst happens, I'll have a fight." Alpha also took off his knitted jacket and gave it to Xu Yu. The knitted jacket didn't need to be ruined, but the T-shirt he wore underneath didn't hurt.

"How do you plan to fight?" Ceria asked Alpha beside her in a relaxed tone while flexing her muscles.

"Capture the thief first. Capture the king first. I'm faster than you. You hold the line. I'll kill the leader hiding behind first, then turn around and attack from a pincer. How about we take care of all these scum in one go?"

"Yeah." Ceria nodded. She admired Alpha's straight-to-the-point style.

There are a lot of debris in the streets and alleys of the old city. Ceria can easily mobilize a huge amount of calcium. She directly puts up a posture and signals the gangsters to come up and kill them, while she is secretly brewing the launch of calcium. , she wants to wait for Alpha to move behind the opponent's large army, then activate her Origin Stone skills to trap all the gangsters in place, so that she can have a lot of energy left to deal with them.

The gangsters saw that the woman in front of them not only did not panic at all, but instead put on a confident posture, preparing to challenge the twenty or so people on their side alone. They also murmured in their hearts, who is this woman and why? How can you be so confident?But at this time, it was impossible for them not to go up, otherwise if they tell the truth then, more than 20 people would be scared away by a woman, and they would not have to hang out.

So the 20 or so gangsters armed with sticks and daggers rushed up, shouting and waving their weapons.

Alpha jumped up from the position farthest away from the gangsters. When they entered the city, no one was carrying weapons and equipment. Naturally, she did not bring her own thrusters, but now is not a situation that requires high-speed maneuvers. The Feiyao body Enough to accomplish what she was about to do.

Ceria instantly judged Alpha's speed, and she knew she didn't need to wait anymore.Four or five thugs had already rushed forward. She waved her hands, and a huge field of white dust suddenly descended on this inconspicuous street.

The thugs who had raised their weapons suddenly felt that their bodies had suffered huge resistance. White crystals spread on their bodies, forming a shell that restricted movement. Even if they tried their best, they could not swing the weapons in their hands.

At this time, Alpha, who was leaping in the air, flashed with dazzling electric light. She released the appropriate energy to prevent the thunder drop she released with her bare hands from actually taking the lives of these minions.

The whole battle was over within a minute. Alpha released a lightning strike with his bare hands and knocked the gang leader to the ground. He kept twitching. When he couldn't do it, the aftermath spread to three or four minions on this side. To be on the safe side, she stepped on and broke the two calves of the wolf-headed man from the Luper tribe who called himself Gambino. He would have to lie in bed for at least three months before he could go to the ground to continue his work.The remaining gangsters were in tears. They were trapped deeply in the calcified field and could not escape even if they wanted to. They were all punched by Alpha and Seria like sandbags.

Surprisingly, the police from the Longmen Guards Bureau arrived at the scene shortly after this small fight. They arrested dozens of gangsters who were lying on the ground and groaning. Four of them served as witnesses. The police officers from the Guards Bureau hoped that they could cooperate with their work and make a record. Of course, Ansuo, who was still holding his head and squatting in defense at this time, was also taken away.

……

In an office in the Longmen Guards Bureau building, a female police superintendent with a golden scroll received four people. Since all four of them were Rhode Island agents and none of them carried weapons, the situation at the scene was also clear. You can clearly see that the Guards Bureau will certainly not make things difficult for the four tourists who just spent more than [-] Longmen coins in Longmen.

"Let's get to know each other. My name is Shihuaiya. You don't need to call me police officer or anything like that. I'm already off work and I was dragged here to receive you." Jin Juanjuan Feilin smiled and shook hands with the four of them, "You guys are really awesome. Yes, I have seen many gang fights, and I have also seen powerful warlocks and warriors, but four against twenty, the battle ended without any injuries in such a short period of time. To be honest, I have never seen this kind of situation. How many times? This lady is very skilled."

"You are exaggerating." Alpha, who was observing Officer Shuaiya's tiger tail, laughed.

Afterwards, Officer Shi Huaiya recorded the testimonies of the four people according to the process. During the conversation, she revealed the situation. Originally, the Guards Bureau seldom directly interfered with the issues in the old city. The underground of the old city had its own set of rules to maintain stable order. However, The group of gangsters who were trapped in Syracuse have been acting recklessly recently, causing more than one dangerous incident in other urban areas. The Guards Bureau is currently preparing for encirclement and suppression, and who knows that this will happen.

"It's a pity that you are not citizens of Longmen, otherwise Wei would definitely have to give you trophies."

During the conversation, Shi Huaiya learned that the four of them had not had dinner yet. The police officer delivering water said that the instant pork chop rice in the station was still in stock, but Shi Huaiya said that he would personally reward him for his contribution to the security of Longmen. Four friends who have made outstanding contributions.

She took out a card from her handbag and handed it to Alpha. It was a black gold-gilded business card with her name written on it, "Beatrix Shihuai".

"You have made great contributions, how can I let you squat in the bureau and eat pork chop rice? Xiao Wang over there, you drive the special service car to drive the four ladies to the Longmen Bank Building. Take my business card, lobby manager Four will be accommodated.”

Longmen Bank Building is a landmark building in Longmen, adjacent to the Central Control Tower of Longmen Core City, facing the Dagu Square a street away, and located on the central axis of Longmen.Just looking at its location and height second only to the central control tower, you know that it symbolizes the core of Longmen's finance and business. Alpha, who has learned about Longmen in advance, knows that it is the most high-end consumption place in the entire Longmen.

"A little thought is not a sign of respect. If it's convenient for you four, please do appreciate it. If my father hadn't been busy today, I should have accompanied you. Please forgive me."

The Shihuai Yapai's car is very thoughtful. It is a luxury extended car, used for disguised reconnaissance or to receive important guests. There is a partition in the middle of the vehicle, leaving a private space for the four people. Officer Xiao Wang also has For those who have an eye for price, both the attitude when picking up the car and the driving skills are very good.

"I have a little question." Sitting in the car, Xu Yu looked at the interior of the high-end car and asked curiously, "defeating twenty gangsters is definitely not a small matter, but it is not a big deal. "Why did Officer Shi Huaiya receive us with such high standards?" She had seen the Longmen Bank Building in the movie. The splendid decoration and elegant style, coupled with the level of the banquet the protagonist attended there, all reflected the It's of extremely high quality there.

"Don't underestimate Seria's face," Alpha smiled and poked Seria's arm, "The co-founder of Rheinland Life is well-known in both political and business circles."

Seria waved her hands noncommittally, "Before you praise me, Ms. Alpha first takes a good look at what she has done. She has an official strategic partnership with Rhode Island. She just registered a medical technology company, but the first thing she did was... It sold high-purity laboratory-grade synthetic jade worth 1000 million Longmen coins in three batches on the Longmen energy trading market, and owned an advanced land-ship and a vehicle with a groundbreaking structure and extremely high commercial value. You are currently parked at the vehicle inspection agency of the relevant department, so my contact value cannot be compared to yours."

Then the two looked at each other awkwardly, smiled, and decided to treat Officer Shi Huaiya's treat as her hero.

44.Calm days-end

"Ladies, Longyin Building has arrived." As he spoke, Xiao Wang had already parked the car firmly at the front door, got out of the car and opened the door for the four of them.

"Excuse me." Alpha, who got out of the car last, gave the police officer who had to work as a driver for his group after work stuffed high-end cigarettes bought by Casimir. Xiao Wang did not refuse, but wrote just The card with the mobile phone number was handed to Alpha.

"Chief Shi Huaiya said that if a few ladies need cars these two days, please contact me at any time."

The lobby manager on duty at the Longyin Building was already waiting here, using perfect welcome etiquette to guide everyone to take the elevator to the music restaurant located on the upper floor of the building.

Alpha asked Disel to check the basic information of Longyin Building.It was discovered that this building was specially invested and constructed by Dagu Group of Shihuaiya Family as an important partner of Wei Yanwu because of certain important cooperation matters.

The people walking through the splendid hall are the most respectable people in Longmen, the powerful people sitting at the top of the pyramid and the wealthy old merchants.

Alpha and Seria were the calmest. After all, they had seen this kind of scene a lot. Alpha was chatting and laughing with the leaders of all parties and gave a passionate speech at the Konghua Council. Chief Faos had never seen anything like this before.

Xu Yu, who had never been to such a place in his memory, was a little nervous, worried that he would embarrass Alpha by behaving inappropriately in such a place.In the end, she simply took Alpha's arm and regarded herself as a female companion.

Alpha ruffled her soft hair, "Don't be nervous, just relax, just treat it like eating in your own cafeteria."

……

“What an interesting contrast,” Alpha said to Seria with a smile while tasting the appetizer, holding a goblet of aperitif. “Two hours ago, standing next to us was a man who was forced to become a thief. I didn’t know if I would be able to have a meal tomorrow, and I had to support two poor girls with children younger than myself. But two hours later, we were sitting in the most luxurious restaurant in Longmen, eating a plate of appetizers. The price can allow the three of them to eat high-end dinners for a month with balanced nutrition. This huge restaurant is full of guests pushing cups and cups, and the hungry children in the streets of the old city are also crying at this time."

Ceria listened to Alpha's words very seriously, and then she looked through the floor-to-ceiling windows beside her, across the prosperous lights in the core city of Longmen, and looked at this prosperous city that had just entered nightfall. The old city of Longmen was like a river of lights. A quiet wilderness, with only a few lonely street lamps outlining the streets and lanes, and scattered house lights swaying in the sparse grid outlined.

"How ironic..." Hemo put down the knife and fork in his hand and sighed softly. Alpha's words made the kind-hearted woman feel a little hard to swallow when facing the exquisite dishes in front of her.

"It's ironic, no, it's not ironic. At least the fruits and vegetables cultivated in Chengxi Farm on our plates are the high-grade tumor meat sent from the mainland of Dayan." Alpha turned around, "It's not like what's on the plate of some things. , truly containing the flesh and blood of the 'untouchables'."

"So we shouldn't feel guilty," Alpha waved to the waiter to change the glasses for dinner wine for Hemo and Xu Yu. "On the contrary, we should eat freely here. Every time we eat For every dish of salad thrown away, farmers on suburban farms may get an extra penny in wages. For every piece of tummy steak eaten, there may be an extra piece of meat on the table of the wife and children of a truck driver who braves the dangers of crossing the wilderness. Put more dumplings, that’s what luxury consumption means.”

"I have never thought about a problem from such a perspective." Ceria raised the wine glass, which contained 15-year-old pure wine from Victoria. The crystal wine was shaking slightly, exuding a fragrant aroma. Fragrance, "Does consumption promote the flow of wealth in society..."

"Accurate analysis, okay, let's eat. The quality of this restaurant's dishes definitely matches its brand and price."

The first main course has been served on the table. This Victoria restaurant, located in the heart of Longmen, has made many localized improvements to its dishes to fit local eating habits. The chef boldly blends Yanguo’s cuisine into the dishes of the Victorian aristocracy. The cooking techniques cleverly combine tradition and innovation.

"Let's have a toast." Alpha proposed with a toast.

"Well, to commemorate this wonderful day." Xu Yu made an ingenious suggestion for clinking glasses.

"Cheers to commemorate this wonderful day."*4

……

When the dessert of poplar twig nectar and chocolate ice cream cake was served to the table, Hemo and Xu Yu were already lying on the table, feeling dizzy.Knowing that they were not good drinkers, they deliberately chose low-alcohol red wine and champagne when ordering, but they fell down without even having two glasses of wine?Hemo looked a little better, but he was spinning a little and couldn't speak clearly. Xu Yu simply stretched himself out and fell asleep on the table.

Alpha and Seria looked at each other helplessly. It seemed that they could only spend the night at Longmen tonight.

"The fifteenth floor below the Longyin Building Music Restaurant is a hotel. Why don't you just rest here for the night."

After recruiting a waiter, Alpha asked him to help contact the hotel to book two rooms. This was not a treat for Shuaiya, but the price of the suite here was not affordable.Taking two drunk girls back to the Star of Life in the car at this time was really a hassle.

Alpha and Seria, who were not in the mood to continue eating, finished the dessert in a hurry, and asked the waiter to pack the uneaten dessert for them to relieve their hangover. Alpha picked up Xu Yu, and helped Hemo Seria left the restaurant together, attracting some attention along the way.

……

"Silly girl, you can't even drink a sip of wine. You just drank two glasses of wine in a daze, but you will feel uncomfortable." Alpha finally gave up the plan to change Xu Yu's pajamas, and just put his body on her He took off the carrying equipment and put it aside, then took off her high heels.This silly girl got herself very drunk, and Alpha didn't want to take advantage of her while others were in danger.

He went to the bathroom to wash up briefly. Alpha was now at a loss. The waiter must have realized something was wrong. Originally, Ceria mentioned two double suites, but it turned out that both suites had only one large bed.

"Forget it, that's it. If you don't go to bed, you should be called a hypocrite." Alpha was upset and found an excuse to talk to his salesgirl. He changed into pajamas and walked to the bed. She had just climbed onto the bed, and... Before she could lie down, Xu Yu, who was muttering something unknown, grabbed her arm. Looking at her slightly frowning eyes, she couldn't have had a nightmare...

There was no words all night. When the early morning sunlight shined on the bedside through the translucent curtains the next day, Xu Yu woke up from her sleep. Her head still hurt after being drunk. She felt that she was leaning on her short memory. On top of the softness and warmth I have never felt before.She was holding Alpha, her forehead resting on her shoulder, lying in Alpha's strong arms.

Seeing the smile on Xu Yu's lips after waking up from a dream, Alpha felt that he had been plotted this time.

45.The banks of Devon are quiet part.1

"Good morning." He raised his head and wanted to take a sneak peek at Alpha's sleeping face, but found that she was looking at him tenderly. Xu Yu snickered and gently leaned her head on Alpha's chest. Surprisingly, She didn't hear a heartbeat.

"Good morning, did you sleep well last night?" Seeing her cautious look, Alpha couldn't help but rub her soft hair.

"Well... Alpha, I'm fine, my heartbeat is steady, my breathing is normal, but why can't I hear your heartbeat..."

"Silly girl, you know." Of course, the energy core of the structure does not have the heartbeat of a biological body. "You can't drink. Don't drink randomly in the future. Alcohol is not good for your health."

Alpha, who was about to have breakfast, took Xu Yu out of the door and saw Seria and Hermer coming out. Alpha noticed that Seria had put on Hermer's silk scarf for some reason.The ear feathers on Helmer's head were fluttering one by one, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Without asking about the little secret between them, after eating a high-end but ordinary breakfast, Alpha contacted Xiao Wang and drove them to the dock where the Life Star was parked, as agreed before.In order to obtain the inspection permit, Alfa's electric vehicles will have to stay at the Gantry Administration Bureau for a period of time, but this will not have much impact.

On the hangar deck of the Life Star, the Rhode Island operators who had stayed behind for an extra night were eating takeaway breakfast ordered by Alpha. Compared with field missions where they had to sleep in various wilderness areas, there was room for them to rest. cabin, as well as the Rhode Island bread and takeaway breakfast she brought yesterday, as well as the extra overtime wages that Kelsey was responsible for settling...
