Chapter 15 We Encountered a Little Trouble
Under normal circumstances, the only two ways to go to other floors are to take the tower's circular train and the "elevator" that runs through each floor, and permission is required to go to the upper floors.
But when the train was out of service, Shu Mo could only go to the central elevator by riding a floating car. He had thought that the upper level would send someone to pick him up, but he didn't expect that Xi would arrange for someone to come.
Xi's arrangements were really thoughtful and attentive, showing concern at every turn. Shu Mo couldn't figure out why he was so kind to her even if he wanted to, and in the end he could only choose to thank him silently in his heart.
"The documents and certificates to go to the upper level have been arranged." Nadu said. He was driving while chatting with Shu Mo in the back seat. After the initial frightening fluctuations, the hover car was now flying. The speed has returned to normal, and the scenery outside the window flashes by. The journey to the elevator was very long, and Shu Mo was ready to stay in the car for half a day. He didn't feel bored because Nadu and Maya talked a lot.
Nadu said: "Master Xi cares about you very much. He asked us to send you out of the lower floor as soon as possible."
Maya, who was sitting next to him, silently turned a page of the newspaper.
Shu Mo replied: "I'm very grateful to him, but to be honest, the notice to go to the upper level seems a bit urgent this time."
Shu Mo said: "I just received the news today..."
Na Du said: "It's not urgent. Yes, actually last night we..." As he said this, Maya suddenly hit his waist with her elbow, twisted to the side uncomfortably, and then coughed lightly: "We only received the news in the morning. , and then he rushed over."
Shu Mo narrowed his eyes and looked at him, then looked away and replied: "Oh..." The
red-haired man saw this scene through the rearview mirror and suddenly felt a little sweaty. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't be like this, but the person sitting in the back was the person their boss named to be escorted to the laboratory unscathed.
The point is: unscathed.
In other words, if Shu Mo had any problems on the road, the two of them could just get out.
The red hunter who received such an order for the first time in his life was stunned. After leaving the office, he did not hold back the doubts in his heart and quietly asked the black hunter brothers. The black hunters who followed Zai Xi and experienced what happened last night actually They didn't quite understand what happened, but when they saw Nadu's confused look, they suddenly became interested. After looking at each other, the two of them grinned, and then, under Nadu's longing eyes, The black hunter suddenly sighed: Forget it, you don't understand.
Nadu: ...
There was no other way. He had no choice but to go find Maya. The white hunter did not hide it from him, but took out a newspaper, and then furtively opened a page, only to see what was written on the tabloid Here's the news: Shocked! Rizhu actually had a bizarre scandal at the lower level!
Red Hunter took it, looked at it, and was stunned. But the most terrifying thing was that Xi's order, combined with the current scandal, was almost a fatal blow. The shock lasted until he saw Shu Mo. He was still a little confused, so he couldn't help but look in the rearview mirror. He secretly observed the young man sitting in the back seat and made Shu Mo, who was taking breakfast from the space ring, move.
"Do you want to eat?"
Shu Mo had an extra pie in his hand, which was the stock he plundered from home. The man lives alone and has developed good cooking skills over time. This pie looks very big and meaty, and it is still warm because it was placed in a crisper: it smells particularly delicious.
Maya, who had been reading the newspaper, raised his head, sniffed the aroma that instantly filled the car, and his red eyes suddenly lit up.
"Driving is very hard..." Shu Mo said tentatively, while stuffing a mouthful of juice into his mouth. The fragrance of the juice bursting in his mouth made him couldn't help but squint his eyes. Maya and Nadu looked at each other. , the two of them couldn't help but beg for two pies in the end.
So the three of them had a delicious breakfast in the car. As soon as Nadu finished wiping his mouth, he suddenly heard someone from behind the car say:
"Actually," Shu Mo said, "Master Xi asked you to come here in such a hurry. Is it because the higher-ups need me to do something?"
This sentence seemed to have been brewing for a long time, and the young man said it in a very calm tone, as if he did not expect Shu Mo to say this, and to do so. Asking directly, Maya, who was sitting in the passenger seat, made a movement and almost choked herself.
"This, this..."
Nadu tried hard to organize his words. When he was thinking about how to respond, he heard the young man in the back seat continue to say: "Let me think about it, is it my ability... can I do something?"
The red-haired man raised his face and looked at the young man's expression through the rearview mirror. He saw a young man with black hair and green eyes smiling and said, "Actually, that's okay."
Shu Mo said, "If I can help him, , I will also feel very happy."
Nadu stared at him, and after a moment, the man scratched his head. Maya was still looking down at the newspaper and couldn't see clearly the other person's expression at this time.
The car still continued to move forward. Nadu raised his head and looked into the distance, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his speed slowed down. The man said: "This matter should not have been hidden from you. There is a mentally ill old man in the upper-level laboratory. The man has encountered obstacles in his research recently. If he can no longer obtain any research results, then one of his pollutants will be transferred to another research institute, and just then, Mr. Xi recommended you to him..."
Shu Mo pondered for a moment. Just when Nadu thought he would say something, Shu Mo asked, "Is this matter very difficult?"
Nadu said, "It is very difficult."
Shu Mo lowered his eyes and clicked. nod.
After that, he had no other reaction. Nadu continued to drive the car. He couldn't help but look in the rearview mirror frequently. Seeing the calm expression of the black-haired young man, he felt a little panicked. Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Shu Mo's expression Weird, he said, "What's wrong with you?"
"Don't you think Mr. Xi didn't, ahem, ask you for your opinion?"
Shu Mo blinked and said, "I am a cleaner at the lower level, and now because of the leader's Why do you need to ask my opinion when you are promoted?"
Nadu frowned, suddenly feeling that something was wrong. It seemed that the relationship between Shu Mo and Xi was not what he thought.
"Besides," Shu Mo said, "Didn't I say it? I feel very happy to be able to help Xi."
As soon as he said this, a strange look flashed across Nadu's face. He seemed to want to He wanted to say something, but ended up saying nothing.
The blazing fire of Bagua jumped in his heart. Shu Mo rubbed his eyes and felt a little sleepy. He was actually still a little tired. However, the hover car suddenly stopped at this moment. Nadu stared at the front. , suddenly opened the door and got out of the car.
"What's wrong?" Shu Mo said.
Nadu didn't even look back: "Urgent urination!"
Shu Mo: "..."
Maya and Shu Mo were the only two people left in the car. The sound of reading newspapers stopped at some point. Shu Mo looked up and said, I found that the white-haired man had closed his eyes and fell asleep at some point. It was difficult for him to sleep so quietly in the passenger seat.
A few minutes later, the red-haired man hurried back and continued driving. The drive was very long. Shu Mo felt a little sleepy, so he lay down in the back seat and slept for a while. He slept like this until the hover car suddenly stopped. The movement below woke him up. The black-haired young man raised his face in confusion. There was a light red mark on the side of his face. He found that the hover car was traveling to an unknown place, and the man in the driver's seat had disappeared.
In Shu Mo's somewhat confused eyes, Maya, who woke up at some point, lowered her head and fiddled with her suitcase, explaining: "He has an urgent need to urinate."
Shu Mo: "..."
Shu Mo: "Where are we now? "
His reaction was still a little slow, but Maya answered whatever she asked: "Area B."
Shu Mo regained his energy and woke up completely: "But isn't the area closest to the elevator
the border of Area A ? It's blocked, and the hunters are hunting at the border." Maya said, lowering her head and twisting the button on the suitcase. He didn't know what treasures were inside: "We can only take a detour."
The border in Area A is blocked. Already?
Shu Mo frowned, feeling something was not right. He was thoughtful. At this time, Nadu came back with a frown. The hover car started again. Nadu turned the car around and suddenly changed direction: "The border of Area B also seems to be blocked."
Shu Mo: "Then what should we do?"
"We have to drive through the intersection of Area C and Area B..." Nadu clicked on the map. That area was a whole border forest, and there were almost no people there at ordinary times. visit, but now they must pass.
The hover car continued to drive. Along the way, the vehicles continued to stop and go. Without exception, Nadu said that he had to urinate and got out of the car. He didn't know that the eyes Shu Mo looked at him had a hint of concern for his kidneys. At lunch time, Shu Mo took out a bowl of noodles from his ring. This time he looked at him warily. Shu Mo opened the box and asked,
"Are you hungry?"
Nadu said: "I'm not hungry."
Maya next to him raised her face and said: "It smells so good. Mr. Shu Mo, give me a bowl too."
"Okay." Shu Mo suppressed a smile and did not look. With his suddenly widened eyes, he looked at Maya with a very painful and sad look: You traitor!
Shu Mo and Maya lowered their heads and ate together. Shu Mo's cooking skills were very good. I don't know what was added to the noodles. After taking a sip of the soup, it was so fragrant that the skin was about to stretch out. Because of the role of the warming box, it was still It's as fragrant and hot as when it comes out of the pan.
"Suck, suck, suck." In Nadu's unbelievable eyes, Maya said while eating: "It's so delicious..."
Nadu's stomach rumbled, and the man gritted his teeth and continued to drive, right here At that moment, he heard Maya drink up the soup in one gulp, and then she actually wanted to have another bowl!
"No more." Shu Mo replied helplessly. He really didn't do much. The man looked up and found Nadu in the driver's seat grinding his teeth unconsciously.
Maya seemed a little regretful, but Nadu was in a worse mood. After the three of them drove for some distance, the hovercar suddenly stopped. Nadu got off the car again. When he left, Shu Mo looked worried.
"Don't worry," Maya said suddenly. "He will be fine."
Shu Mo then reacted and said, "What do you mean?"
Maya turned back to look at him and heard Shu Mo say: "I just feel... he has an urgent need to urinate. Are you not feeling well?" Nadu
, who just came back and heard this: "..."
Maya couldn't help laughing in a low voice, and Nadu couldn't help but glared at him. The hover car started driving again. After driving for a while, Nadu got off the car again. This time Shu Mo didn't say anything. When the man came back again, he wiped his face. As if it was an illusion, the red-haired hunter raised his head On his hand, a string of blood beads dripped down from his crimson hair, and quickly disappeared.
The gloomy look on Nadu's face flashed away, and Shu Mo looked up at him. They had now reached the edge of the forest. In front of them was a deserted forest. There were no traces of pedestrians here, not even traces of birds and animals. It also disappeared at the edge of the forest, and the trees gathered together, completely trapping the area in front. If you want to get to the elevator, you can only enter it, or go back the same way.
Both Nadu and Maya felt a strong sense of danger from it, but the way back was not so easy. Such a predicament made Nadu feel bad.
"Damn Life Factory..."
Nadu raised his hand, blood dripping from his bandage. Shu Mo saw all this and suddenly said: "Are we going to turn back now?"
Nadu turned his face. Looking at him, he continued: "We may have encountered a little trouble."
"If we turn back now, it will be too late, but the forest ahead seems to be a little dangerous."
Shu Mo suddenly raised his face and looked at the vibrant, but distant place. There was no sound in the dark forest. The traces of wild beasts and the sounds of birds were completely cut off here. The green seemed to swallow up everything, even the sight of it.
but.
Shu Mo said: "Since there is no time, let's go through here."
Nadu was stunned, and he said: "But it is very dangerous ahead."
"No." Under Nadu's surprised gaze, the man sitting behind A pair of green eyes slowly widened, and the green seemed to swallow up the forest in front of him completely. Then, a bit of pure white loomed in his eyes: "It's very, very safe in front..."
Under his gaze, Shu Mo's expression was blurred, He raised his lips and said, "Let's go, it's almost too late."
