The First Mist Chapter 35 Life
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. The mission is over now. The next mission will be scheduled at least two months later. During this time, you should rest well and don't waste your training."
Zhou Ye glanced at the few people and said, "I'll treat you tonight. Let's go to the Mona Hotel."
Seeing this, everyone realized that it was useless to worry about the new team member's condition, as they would know the situation when the time came.
"Boss, you are so generous." Cao Fei patted his belly: "Fortunately, I didn't eat much at noon."
Zhou Ye rolled his eyes at him and said to Su Shuang and Xu Shen, "You guys should get ready too. Go downstairs right away. I've already booked it."
Xu Shen nodded, went upstairs and stuffed 30 Luca coins into the deck under his bed. As for the five bottles of purifier, he was not in a hurry and would inject them when he came back. They were also put at the bottom of a cabinet in the room.
After doing all this, Xu Shen went downstairs to gather.
"You're just wearing this?" Zhou Ye saw Xu Shen in a black combat uniform and couldn't help but feel angry and amused: "We're going to have a meal together, not to carry out a mission."
"Well, I'm afraid that in case I encounter Xu..." Xu Shen explained with a blush.
"You worry too much. If we really encounter it, we will just run away."
Zhou Ye smiled and said, "It's not our mission period. If we do encounter it, so what? We don't have to solve it. The bureau will arrange other teams to deal with it."
Xu Shen was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "I still think this is safer ."
Zhou Ye was a little speechless. Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, he turned to the back seat of his car, grabbed a brown coat and threw it to Xu Shen: "Put this on, at least it won't look so conspicuous."
Xu Shen hesitated for a moment, but still put it on.
If something goes wrong, the coat will most likely be torn when drawing the sword. Fortunately, such "ifs" should not happen often. If it is torn, I can just compensate the captain with another one... Anyway, I have plenty of money now.
Soon, Su Shuang and Cao Fei also came downstairs.
Su Shuang wore a white casual dress, while Cao Fei wore a well-tailored suit, looking like a wealthy lady and a mature person.
Xu Shen was stunned for a moment, then looked at his coat and suddenly felt that he should really change his clothes... Never mind, safety is more important.
The two of them also saw Xu Shen's outfit and were stunned. Cao Fei laughed on the spot.
Su Shuang shook her head slightly and said nothing more, and they both got in the car.
Zhou Ye drove all the way to the central urban area of Dicheng.
The Mona Hotel is a well-known and iconic hotel in Dicheng, and is also the designated hotel for some inner-city residents to stay when they come to Dicheng.
People in the inner city think other places are dirty, so only the Mona Hotel is worth staying at.
Since he was not going out on a mission this time, Xu Shen was in a more relaxed mood. Looking out the window along the way, he saw green copper rail cars passing by from time to time, loaded with fog people, shuttling through the thick fog.
On both sides of the road, except for the clean areas where the guide ropes are used, the rest of the road is covered with dirty garbage blown by the wind.
Some of these garbage were dropped by the Fog People and cannot be found, and some were discarded by other people.
Dirt piles up in every corner of the block, with no one to clean it up. This kind of work is usually done by the fog dwellers, but if the fog dwellers do it, they have to use guide ropes, and these projects require funds from the City Health Bureau... The phenomenon of garbage piling up has become the norm in the city.
The people of Wu have long been accustomed to the faint stench of decay and urine emanating from the garbage and can hardly distinguish it.
Xu Shen did not find this dirty and messy environment annoying. On the contrary, being in it and smelling these smells that he had smelled since he was a child, he felt particularly relaxed.
Not long after, the vehicle left the black light area and arrived at the central urban area of the bottom city.
Xu Shen discovered that the scenes he saw along the way had obviously changed a lot. As the vehicle moved forward, the streets he saw on the roadside became cleaner and cleaner, the number of guide ropes decreased, and he even saw many normal people with their eyes open on the streets here.
Buildings that look like villas and manors are lined up on both sides of the road.
The red brick pointed roof has a simple and solemn style.
On the shops on both sides of the street, there are neon-like signs that are extremely conspicuous, selling all kinds of things. Some shops also have small loudspeaker broadcasts, which are specially prepared for the fog dwellers.
However, the people of Wu will only go to the supermarket where they are led by their guide ropes to shop.
"Boss, your home seems to be in this city, right?" Cao Fei looked left and right along the way. Although it was not his first time here, he still felt excited and amazed.
There's such a huge difference between here and the outskirts of the city, it's like two different worlds.
"Yeah." Zhou Ye smiled slightly and said, "After we finish eating, I'll take you to my house for a visit."
"OK."
Soon, the vehicle arrived at the entrance of a tall hotel full of lights and nightlife.
The area was extremely clean. Zhou Ye parked his car in front of the hotel. Immediately, a waiter in a tuxedo came up to him and took the key.
The waiter was obviously familiar with this black armored vehicle. He nodded and bowed when he took the key, showing great respect, knowing that this was an exclusive vehicle for some high-level departments in the city.
Xu Shen looked up at the hotel and found that he could not see the top.
It was all shrouded in thick fog.
"This is not an ancient building, there is no need to worship it." Zhou Ye smiled and led a few people in.
Soon a waiter came over, asked for the reservation number and name, and led Zhou Ye and others through the magnificent lobby to the elevator.
Xu Shen saw that the highest button on the elevator was for the 27th floor.
He could only imagine such a tall building before, but now he is in it.
The outside of the elevator is open, and you can see the entire hotel clearly. The lobby on the ground floor becomes smaller and smaller, and most of the guests walking in the lobby are dressed extremely luxuriously.
Soon, the elevator stopped on the 25th floor.
The elevator door opened behind them. Except for Xu Shen, Su Shuang, Cao Fei and others had turned around and were waiting for the elevator door to open. Soon, a melodious music floated in, quiet and distant, refreshing.
It's relatively quiet here, with only very low chatter.
Zhou Ye led everyone to a dining table by the window. What surprised Xu Shen was that there was no thick fog in the sky. Looking down from the window, the thick fog was more than ten floors below, blocking the buildings and streets below. Everyone seemed to be eating in a building in the clouds.
"Order whatever you want to eat." Zhou Ye said with a smile.
"Then I won't be polite." Cao Fei smiled, took the menu and started to look through it.
Zhou Ye handed another copy to Xu Shen.
When Xu Shen saw the various exquisite pictures above, he couldn't help but swallow his water secretly, but when he saw the prices at the back, he was a little shocked. The price of one dish was equivalent to half a month's salary for Wu Min.
If this continues, the 30,000 Luka Coins he just received will not be useful here for long.
Is money so wasteful...Xu Shen sighed secretly.
"Xiao Xu, when you have saved enough money and want to buy a house, you can come to me and I can help you avoid pitfalls." Zhou Ye said to Xu Shen with a smile.
Xu Shen nodded repeatedly and asked, "Captain, where do you think we should buy a house?"
"Of course it's the city!" Zhou Ye said without thinking: "You just saw the environment in the city. Even if you don't pursue the environment, there are many advantages to living in the city. For example, there are fewer beast incidents here."
"Why?" Xu Shen was curious.
"First of all, the environment that Xu beasts like to stay in is dark places. Look at the city, it is brightly lit even at night. Secondly, in various places in the city, the people in the patrol office will search more If a death occurs, it will be handled immediately, and they will not wait until Xu comes to deal with it.
In addition, our Xumi Bureau will also install Xumi beast sensors here."
"If there are any traces of ruins, they will basically be discovered at the first time, and the team in our bureau will be dispatched as soon as possible."
"If there are two places where incidents break out at the same time, the first place to be dealt with will definitely be the urban area."
Zhou Ye said with a smile.
Xu Shen looked out the window and thought about the street scenes along the way. He felt a little sudden and at the same time, his mood was a little complicated.
"Although this is realistic, it is also fair." Zhou Ye said with a smile: "We can't protect every dark corner, so we just move into the light ourselves."
But it is not so fair to those who are trapped in darkness and unable to escape...Xu Shen said silently in his heart.
Unless, those who like to stay in the dark are driven into such light.
"Captain, are houses in this city expensive?" Cao Fei asked.
"It's a little expensive, but we can still afford it." Zhou Ye smiled and said, "Generally speaking, 300,000 yuan for a small house is enough for one person. If you want to live in a better place, 500,000 to 800,000 yuan will be enough."
"So expensive!" Cao Fei exclaimed.
Xu Shen also felt a little suffocated. 300,000 yuan was enough for the fog people to live frugally for a hundred years.
"With our salaries, we can save enough in three to five years." Zhou Ye comforted the two.
Xu Shen smiled bitterly. Compared with this, the 30,000 reward he had just received seemed nothing.
Soon, the delicacies were served one by one.
"Eat whatever you want, you're welcome." Zhou Ye said generously.
Xu Shen didn't bother to be polite and started eating quickly.
The aroma of these ingredients whetted his appetite. It was the first time that Xu Shen tasted something so delicious.
The food at “Mom” is only slightly inferior.
It’s so good to be rich... Xu Shen felt full of emotion. He felt that after tonight, he seemed to be truly living.
