The First Evolution - Chapter 541: Big Surprise
The function of 6th District was more similar to that of the dump period.
When unloading/transport changing, bulky goods were often put here and then transported away by underground trains. Most of the storage boxes here were in disrepair.
However, thanks to the local smugglers, they liked to trade some illegal goods here, so some areas were still maintained to charge a small fee.
Previously on the aerocars, Fang Linyan and the others looked down from a high position and discovered that explosions and even raging flames were rising from time to time in this originally peaceful and beautiful city.
Obviously, this was a phenomenon that would inevitably occur when the main missions of contractors overlapped, that was, the survival of the fittest.
As for Fang Linyan and the others, they received the hidden main mission, so their competition wasn’t that big.
After entering the 6th District, they found that there were leaks and rust everywhere. There was an unpleasant musty smell in the air. Even the light bulbs used for lighting were flickering. The ground was unusually slippery.
This is also because the smugglers didn’t want this place to be bright, which would greatly increase the chance of being recognized/shot by a gun. Some violent people would even shoot at the light bulbs on the ceiling. As a result, the maintenance staff here were inattentive to repair.
After Fang Linyan and the others walked 30 meters into the 6th District, an old man appeared in front like a ghost. He looked at the three of them with an indifferent look and said,
“First time? 300 star currency per person.”
Goat glanced at him, then threw a 1,000 star currency and said,
“You can go now.”
Fang Linyan suddenly said,
“Where is Cabinet No. 99?”
The old man glanced at him and pointed to the passage on the right,
“Go forward 30 meters.”
Fang Linyan asked,
“What about Cabinet No. 200?”
The old man said,
“Keep walking 50 meters.”
Fang Linyan continued,
“What about Cabinet No. 400?”
The old man said disdainfully,
“There is no Cabinet No. 400, idiot. Cabinet No. 370 to 510 are all in the same room, and that damn place collapsed 3 years ago.”
After hearing this, Fang Linyan said,
“Great, that’s the answer I want.”
They walked in through the stagnant water. Seeing them leave, the old man suddenly whispered into the intercom on his collar,
“There are 3 new people coming in. I think they are new into the industry. Do we want to eat them?”
“What? Wait? No, we can’t wait. I just pointed them in the wrong direction, but I can only fool them for a few minutes at most. Listen, if you want to take action, it can only be within 5 minutes. “
The 3 of them didn’t know that someone had treated them as gold mines. The humid environment caused them a big trouble because the nameplates of more than half of the cabinets were corroded.
To be honest, rather than patiently looking at the vague words, it would be easier to smash the cabinet open.
However, while the three of them were busy, [Mechanical Gyrfalcon] suddenly sent a warning that 6 people were approaching with weapons.
Fang Linyan took a look and said,
“They are probably here to black eat black. Vulture, bring back 2 alive and kill the rest.”
“By the way, don’t rule out that they are just cannon fodders sent by other contractors, so be careful.”
Vulture nodded,
“No problem.”
Soon, the small team that came to raid collapsed. The main reason was that the leader Poca collapsed to the ground… It took about 10 seconds for the rest to discover a flying knife on his forehead.
This guy Polka had been to jail, and he had also committed a felony of injuring and maiming others. He was cruel and rampant. The entire temporary team was formed entirely under his “prestige”.
After discovering that he had died inexplicably, the morale of the others dropped sharply. When Vulture emerged from the darkness, he easily captured 2 alive.
Fang Linyan asked them,
“Your names.”
The 2 survivors looked very frightened and said honestly,
“My name is Mudo.”
“My name is Shado.”
Fang Linyan nodded and said,
“Mr. Mudo, Mr. Shado, I am a very reasonable person. You guys obviously plan to attack us and take our wealth.”
“So, I am happy to repay you in the same way. You can choose whether to be stabbed in your forehead or your head.”
Both screamed at the same time,
“Sir, please no!”
“Sir, please, we just heard that there were newcomers, so we came to take a look.”
“My Martha is still waiting for me to bring her gifts ——- even though she is just a dog!”
“….”
Fang Linyan looked cold-hearted. He waved his hand and said,
“I’ll give you 30 seconds to pray and think about your last words.”
Goat said at this moment,
“Boss, wait, aren’t we short of manpower now? If they can help, we can still consider letting them live first?”
“Hey! You 2, are you familiar with this place?”
After hearing Goat’s words, they seemed to have met their savior and immediately shouted,
“I can’t be more familiar with this place. I’ve been playing here since I was 3 years old!”
“Sir, this damn place is like my home!”
Goat said,
“Okay, if you can help us find Cabinet No. 279, then I will ask Boss to let you go.”
The 2 immediately shouted,
“No problem!”
3 minutes later, the 2 led them into a dark, damp, and dirty large room. It was similar to a swimming pool or a gym locker room. There were a large number of cabinets placed against the wall. They were opened with an access card.
However, they soon discovered that a corner of this large room collapsed due to disrepair and water leakage. Unfortunately, Cabinet No. 279 happened to be buried by the landslide.
So the next step was to do the physical work. Mudo and Shado dismantled the cabinet door next to them to make tools. They were so tired that they were sweating and panting.
Fortunately, they also knew one fact very well. The harder and harder they worked now, the greater the chance of survival, so they had no complaints.
It took more than 20 minutes for them to get out the buried cabinets. Many of the cabinets were rusty. Slag would rustle down when touched, and they would flatten when stepped on.
Finally, Cabinet No. 279 was found, and it was intact because it was buried in the dry area. After the 2 dragged it out, they wiped off the dirt on it and looked at it with expectant eyes.
However, they realized that the 3 people who could decide their life and death no longer cared about them. They took out an old access card and swiped it at the scanning area of the cabinet.
There was no doubt that the cabinet did not react. In this environment, it would be an absolute miracle if it could be opened like this.
After they discussed it, they decided to break open the cabinet. Among them, Fang Linyan had the highest strength. He grabbed the iron plate on one side and slowly tore it open, revealing the contents of the cabinet.
These items were really jaw-dropping and mind-blowing!
It turned out to be a pair of moldy women’s lace underwear, 2 curly and yellowed C-cups, and a pack of sanitary napkins.
Looking at the things, the 3 were petrified at the same time…
After a long time, Goat smiled bitterly and said,
“Seriously, I don’t see what these things have to do with the mission.”
Vulture didn’t speak, but his expression was saying ‘agree’.
Fang Linyan sighed, found a small wooden stick from the side, and fiddled with the pile of moldy things, then … he still didn’t find any clues.
After thinking for a while, he stood up and said to Mudo and Shado,
“There should be multiple related storage areas here, right? There must be more than one Cabinet No. 279.”
Mudo immediately shook his head and said,
“No, it won’t, because when there was still money to be made here, Maggie was in charge of it.”
“This woman is extremely shrewd. She integrated resources and took control of the safe deposit box business by herself. She did not allow others to take a share of the pie. Then she launched timely services such as pole dancing and salsa to meet the customer flow here. Her business was booming”
“So the only area where the safe deposit box business is opened is here. If it is opened in other places, the vortex effect generated here will be weakened, and Maggie will shut it almost the next day.”
After hearing the salsa dance, Goat said with beaming eyes,
“So where is Maggie now?”
