Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark

After just a few words, Angelica couldn't stop talking, just like the submachine gun she was, she kept talking non-stop.

They talked about everything from colleagues at the company to some current affairs in Longmen, and then to some dessert shops in the streets. They had a great time chatting, as if the atmosphere would never be dull as long as the Angel was there.

Just then, Xiyue noticed Texas who had fallen behind, and turned around to ask what was the matter.

However, it seemed that the other party had over-imagined it. Xiyue touched her hair. This was not her intention.

Just like that, the three of them came to the hall.

"This is a newcomer, right?" The staff looked at the Xiyue trio who came in, "Two for one, but the stuff this time seems to be more expensive."

"It's okay. With Texas and I here, how could anything go wrong?"

The staff shrugged: "That's true, the guest is in the reception room."

"OK, let's go, Xiyue."

The three of them came to the reception room, where a man was already waiting.

Texas took the initiative to step forward, while Angel of Power came to Xiyue's side and said, "Generally speaking, there is no need to discuss the remuneration. The staff will discuss it with the guests first, and we will get the share when the time comes. Now we just want to explain some other things and reconfirm the items to be delivered."

"Hello, where is the cargo we are delivering?"

The man patted a box next to him and said, "Here."

Texas took one look at the box and nodded, then looked down at the tablet that the staff had just handed her. On it was the destination and method of delivery.

"Let me confirm with you again. This box of items was placed in the Jielan District on the outer ring of the East City Slums. It was placed in the abandoned warehouse in the same district. Enter from the second floor and place it in the fourth room on the left, right? Is that right?"

Xiyue's eyes twitched. What the hell is this shipping address and delivery method? What's in this?

Since becoming a courier, Xiyue, who has only been responsible for delivering letters and at most small packages, said that she was not familiar with this method.

"Yes."

Texas nodded. He was used to this method of delivery. After putting the tablet down, he looked at the box.

"Although I have a rough guess, I'm still asking as a routine question. Can you let us see what's in the box?"

"No."

Texas nodded, reaching over and pushing back the tablet that had been placed on the table.

"Okay, the staff should have told you that if you don't want us to check the items in the box, then Penguin Logistics will not be responsible if the items in the box are damaged or not what you wanted to send."

"Sign it. Once you've signed it, we'll officially start working on your commission."

After the man signed, he stood up and left. Texas walked over, picked up the box and put it on the table.

Xiyue watched the man leave. Angel went over and sat down, put his legs on the table, and took out his cell phone.

Angel opened the food delivery app and asked casually, "What does Xiyue want to eat?"

"It's up to you. I'm not picky as long as it's delicious. But I think I know why you guys always say it's easy to get into trouble."

Xiyue came over, sat on the sofa, and pointed at the box on the table.

"Strange delivery method, not allowing me to see the contents of the box. I finally understand why Sora just said that I might have a bad record."

"Well~ Xiyue, you have to get used to it. We often encounter indecent guys. Not asking or looking is also a kind of protection." Angel pointed to the camera in the corner of the living room.

"Even if we are really caught by the Guards, with that thing, as long as they insist that we haven't seen it, haven't asked, and don't know what it is, we can be fished out quickly."

The Angel of Power stretched out her hand and gave Xiyue a thumbs-up. The smile on her lips and her white teeth revealed seemed to flash a ray of light.

“………”Xiyue looked at the smile of the Angel and had a bad feeling in her heart.

"It feels like I'm on a huge pirate ship."

————The dividing line for lunch————

After lunch, the three of them carried the boxes onto the truck.

If Texas, the only one of the four members of Penguin Logistics who still has a driver's license, sits directly in the driver's seat.

"Texas, you drank quite a bit last night, is that okay?"

"After taking your medicine and such a long time, the hangover is almost gone. Besides, Angel's driver's license was just revoked not long ago, and he is taking a make-up test. Do you have any, Xiyue?"

As someone who travels around the world, is often undocumented, and rarely stays in the city for a long time, Xiyue naturally has no time to get a driver's license. She can drive, but she has never taken a driver's license test.

Seeing Xiyue was silent, Texas nodded and said, "When you have time, just go to the Transportation Bureau to register. Remember to bring your Penguin Logistics badge to speed up the exam."

"Speeded exam, what's the principle behind this?"

"You will be given the test paper on the spot, and you don't need to wait for others to take the test. Sometimes you don't even need to take the actual driving test directly, and you just need to pass it."

"Did the boss go through the back door?"

Texas was silent for a moment and then replied, "The longest record of driver's licenses we have is two months. Generally, they can be revoked within half a month to a month, and in some cases, even within a week."

Xiyue was silent for a while after hearing this: "So I'm used to it and can't stand it anymore, so I'm giving you a crash test?"

Both Exia and Texas nodded.

It is obvious that Penguin Logistics does not not understand traffic rules, nor does it mean that they do not know how to drive. It is just that in most cases, they cannot abide by traffic rules, which makes the driver's license generally a consumable in their hands.

Sometimes, it is not uncommon for several people to go to take the exam in a group. I guess the people in the Transportation Bureau are really annoyed by them.

I thought that it was not like they didn't understand the traffic rules, so you just had to go through the test process and then quickly put it into practice. Of course, the emperor probably also made some efforts.

“It’s sad in a way.”

The Angel sitting in the back seat leaned forward and put his head on Xiyue's shoulder, saying nonchalantly, "You have to get used to it. Xiyue, you will be assimilated by us sooner or later."

"Exiac, do you feel that this sentence is actually very much like what a villain would say?"

The Angel of Energy smiled and followed Xiyue's complaints and said, "When did Xiyue appear? We are not the illusion of the villains~"

However, Exia saw Texas's gradually raised fist from the corner of his eye, and quickly said: "Of course, we are not really villains. We have cooperated with the Guard Bureau. We are a legal enterprise."

Hearing what Angel said, Xiyue looked back at the carriage: "Is it a legal company? Which legal company would accept the transportation of such goods with unknown origin, unknown destination, and even more unknown contents?"

"Oh, by the way, speaking of transporting secret cargo like this, it shouldn't be opened. What should I say? An ordinary car?"

The Angel patted Xiyue's shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous. This is your first time, and there's no need to be nervous."

Texas, who was driving, explained to Xiyue seriously, "That's a slum. Cars generally can't go in. We can only park our cars wherever we can. We also have to move our things over there. If we drive a normal car, it might be stolen by someone with dirty hands and feet."

Angel nodded and added, "We'll have to look for it when the time comes, but that takes time. If we find it, the car has been torn into pieces and we have to pay the boss for it. It's better to drive the marked car from the beginning, at least people will know who it belongs to."

Xiyue nodded in understanding: "To put it simply, Penguin Logistics is notorious in the slums, so it's not easy for the car to be tampered with, right?"

"Yes, you understand it quickly~"

Chapter 25: Chen

"Well, after all, I have conducted medical activities in the slums of other mobile cities for a long time. In most cases, I still have a certain understanding of the ecology of the slums."

Hearing this, the Angel of Power looked thoughtful: "Believe in medicine, believe in medicine, the medical activities in various cities, I always feel like I have heard about it from someone."

Texas saw through the rearview mirror that the Archangel sitting in the back seat looked thoughtful and sighed: "Haven't you remembered it yet?"

"Hey, does Texas know?"

"In a previous party, Kong once mentioned that a blue-feathered Liberi was willing to provide free medical treatment in the slums of major mobile cities, or to provide medical treatment at a very low cost."

As he spoke, Texas pointed at Xiyue who was standing beside him and said, "And the code name of that doctor is..."

Xiyue also spoke at the right time: "The doctor's code name is Xin Yi, that is me."

Hearing what the two said, Angel of Power slapped his thigh and said, "I heard that somewhere before."

Xiyue looked back through the rearview mirror and saw that although the Archangel had a look of sudden enlightenment on his face, his eyes were still filled with clarity.

'It seems you still haven't remembered.'

Xiyue shook her head and decided not to expose the truth. After all, the other person had already acted as if he remembered it, so it was better to let him go.

————Slums————

"Let's park here. It's not convenient to drive ahead." Texas parked the car next to a tree and pointed to the alley ahead.

"That's true." Xiyue looked at the street ahead and nodded.

If we only look at the original width of the street in front of us, there will be no problem even if three cars pass side by side, provided that the street is the original width.

The various tin huts in front of us were obviously privately built, occupying the street, leaving only a small path in the middle. Forget cars, even three people walking side by side might cause a traffic jam.

Not to mention the trucks driven by Penguin Logistics, they definitely cannot get in.

"The environment looks good, and it seems that the gangs here are clearly managed."

Xiyue walked in the alley and looked at the surrounding environment. Although they were all illegal buildings and felt like just a thin layer of iron sheet, it was at least enough to block the wind and rain.

What was installed was just a simple door made of iron sheets laid on an iron frame, but it didn't look like there was any damage.

Compared to other slums Xiyue had visited before, the environment and order here were much better.

At least there is no garbage scattered on the ground and dirty water flowing everywhere, and the people living here at least have iron sheds to shelter from the wind and rain.

"What's wrong?" Texas turned his head and looked at Xiyue who was touching the iron sheet of the house next to him.

"No, nothing, I just think this place is much better than other places." Xiyue smiled. This time it was not a habitual smile, but a smile that really came from the heart.

There are no disgusting gangsters who smash the doors of the residents here at any time and rob them of the little food they have collected with great difficulty.

If most of the houses here were not in a dilapidated state, it would be hard to tell that this is a slum or something like that.

"Is that so?"

"You two stop chatting, can you please let me push the cart by myself?" The Archangel who was pushing the cart looked at the two people behind him unhappily.

The Archangel turned around and saw something that the other two hadn't noticed: "Huh? That's weird. It didn't rain today, so how come there's a rainbow?"

Xiyue smiled and looked back at the beautiful rainbow across the sky: "Maybe the sky is in a good mood today, or maybe we are lucky enough today."

"Are you feeling...good?" Texas looked at Xiyue with a strange expression.

Xiyue followed the Angel and patted Texas on the shoulder: "Yeah, I'm in a good mood."

"I always feel like you guys are talking about something I don't know." Archangel scratched his head, looking at the two people who seemed to be in a puzzle.

"No, Exia, it's time to go. The commission is more important, isn't it? As for the rainbow, if you want to enjoy it, there will be many opportunities later."

Xiyue walked over and took the cart from Angel of Exorcism: "I still need you to lead the way. I am not familiar with Longmen."

Seeing that Xiyue didn't seem to be going to explain, the curious Angel turned his gaze to Texas: "Texas?"

“Focus on your work.”

"Oh, really!" Angel looked at the two people in front of him speechlessly, "You two have become close so quickly, did you two know each other before?"

"I guess we know each other~" Xiyue smiled and thought of Lappland, who she didn't know whether she had come in or not.

"It would be more lively if she were here."

———Slums, Jerlan District————

"We're here~" Exiah said with a relaxed look, "To be honest, we should find a road that is barely passable. It's too far."

"It's good to walk." Xiyue glanced at the Angel, "And I have to remind you that we have to walk back again later."

"How could such an evil thing happen?"

"Okay, Exiah, stop playing around. That should be the abandoned warehouse we are looking for." Texas pointed to the abandoned warehouse on the corner of the street.

"Looks like it is."

"Oh, then hurry up and step on the gas!" The Archangel, who originally looked half dead, pushed the car and started running.

"A funny guy." Xiyue looked at the Archangel who was running at full speed, "I guess you have never known boredom, after all, there is such a funny guy here."

"Yes."

"But slums are places where land is in short supply, and this warehouse doesn't look so dilapidated that it's uninhabitable. Why did it become an abandoned warehouse?"

Texas said as he walked, "Because the local gangs need him as a discard."

"I see. Waste is just a sign. A warehouse is still a warehouse."

"You walk so slowly. Aren't you in a hurry to go back?" Angelus stared at the two people who were walking slowly towards them.

"It will only take a moment. It won't take much time. I'll go up and keep a close eye on it." Texas came over, picked up the box on the cart, used the wall to jump directly to the second floor, and climbed in through the window.

"Really? We can only be on guard." Angelica took out her submachine gun from her waist, saw Xiyue looking into the distance, and raised her hand to say hello.

"Xiyue?" The Angel of Power raised his gun towards that side, "Is there anyone there?"
