Chapter 1088: Cyan Mist (1/2)
Qingyuan City is a famous refining base for the federal magic weapon. As early as more than three hundred years ago, there were more than a dozen sects refining dozens of brands of shuttles here, and it was once the federal shuttle center.
However, the technology of these sects was too old, and they were quickly defeated in the fierce market competition. Today, many sects rely on the old to survive, and Qingyuan City has also become a dying old man. An old city with vitality, many unemployed, and chaotic public security.
Looking across the city, a light blue haze is shrouded in the sky above the city, and the dim tall buildings are looming in the fog, like a faint behemoth.
This kind of smog is a sequelae caused by the massive use of backward technology to refine the power talismanic array, which has long been integrated into the bone marrow of Qingyuan City and cannot be changed overnight.
Li Yao twisted his hips and walked into the smog.
Just now, at the service desk of the Crystal Rail train station, he inquired about the address of the nearest car rental company.
For the convenience of tourists from other places, this car rental company is right next to the Crystal Rail train station, a five-minute walk away.
At the car rental company, Li Yao used the ID card of the stout woman to rent a half-old ”Flying Pigeon” brand shuttle car.
This brand of shuttle car is a magic weapon made locally in Qingyuan City. The largest factory is here, so it can be seen everywhere on the street, mixed with traffic, and it is inconspicuous at all.
Li Yao drove the ”flying pigeon” and wandered between the streets and alleys of Qingyuan City, his sharp eyes piercing the depths of the mist.
Li Yao was born in the magic tomb. Before he could appreciate the bright side of the federation, he saw all the darkness of the federation transparently. He knew that even in the most prosperous big city of the federation, outside of the feasting and flamboyant, all It is inevitable that there will be some corners with pus and stinking odor.
What's more, Qingyuan City is an old magic weapon refining base that is in a period of recession and has a high unemployment rate.
Soon, he found the place he wanted.
This is a slum in the eastern outskirts of Qingyuan City. Not far away is an abandoned factory like a tomb. There are mountains of scrap iron and garbage piles beside it.
Perhaps hundreds of years ago, when Qingyuan City was the most beautiful city, it used to be the largest refining center of a certain big sect.
But now, this kind of place has only one name, Magic Tomb.
Li Yao is familiar with this kind of place, and familiar with people living in this kind of place, is like familiar with his own toes.
The shuttle car provided by the car rental company will install a locator in a conspicuous place for the co-pilot to prevent the renter from escaping in the car.
Without damaging the positioning magic, Li Yao removed the positioner and stuffed it under the back seat.
He drove the ”Flying Pigeon” to the side of the magic treasure tomb, rolled down the car window, opened half of the car door, and plunged into the smelly, messy magic treasure tomb.
Ten minutes later, he stole a set of garbage bug clothes from the tomb of the magic weapon, and changed his face again, just like a craftsman can be seen everywhere in Qingyuan City.
When he returned to the original place, the ”Flying Pigeon” was gone.
An unlocked, sixty to seventy percent new shuttle car, placed next to the magic treasure grave, is tantamount to placing a piece of blood still dripping into the mouth of a group of piranhas.
God knows where this ”Flying Pigeon” has been driven.
Li Yao smiled slightly, and walked back to the city without hesitation.
It was the meal right now, and the few high-quality and inexpensive chain restaurants in Qingyuan City were all overcrowded with long queues.
In order to alleviate the anxiety of diners in line, some crystal brains will be placed in the lobby of some restaurants for free use by diners in the line.
However, there are not many people who usually use these crystal brains, because most people bring their portable crystal brains. The short waiting time and basic leisure functions can satisfy the needs of the portable crystal brains.
Li Yao easily found a crystal brain, quickly browsed the latest information for three minutes, turned around and left the hotel.
Next, his goal is the largest old residential community in Qingyuan City.
In the new-style communities built in recent decades, there are often well-equipped underground parking lots and three-dimensional garages to alleviate the parking difficulties of residents, as well as all-weather monitoring and serious and responsible security.
However, in the old community with hundreds of years of history, most of the shuttle cars are parked on the ground, the parking spaces are very tight, the security work is also pretending, and there are not many monitoring eyes.
With his hands in his pockets, Li Yao walked on a bumpy road in an old community, his eyes swept from the shuttle cars on both sides.
He is not looking for the fastest shuttle, nor is he looking for the most popular and least likely to be locked.
After scanning the third old community, Li Yao found his goal.
This is a shuttle car parked in the corner of the garden of the community. Judging from the thin dust on the car shell and the rust on the corners of the power symbol array, it has not been driven for at least three or four months.
Li Yao grinned. He didn't know why. There are always shuttle cars like this in many old communities. They stop for a year or a half for some reason, occupying a precious parking space, but no one drives away.
For such a shuttle car, the community property is of course a headache, but it is absolutely impossible to find the owner.
No one cares if such a car is driven away, and no one will report it.
Li Yao whistled softly, snapped his fingers, and the car door opened in response, making a ”creak”.
In the garden of the old community, there are only a few old grandmothers basking in the sun and a few little girls who jump rubber bands.
