Chapter 488: Everyone
As the support frame was completely lowered, the shuttle slowly stopped on the open-air platform.
The cabin door opened, the stairs fell, and a stern-looking man in a suit and ties walked out first. Behind him was a young man in a coat and a ball-shaped omnic.
"——Everyone, you have worked hard at noon."
Song Shi waved his hand to the crowd below.
Compared with the Wuzong, Haita Trading and other forces, the Salmon Rhodes clan's pomp is much larger, with docking personnel, armed security, special reporters, etc., there are dozens of people in total, and the shutter sound never stops.
However, this platform is large enough, and these people have obviously received strict training, so it is not noisy.
“Salute to you, Your Excellency, Patrol Supervisor!”
Seeing the rightful owner appear, a strong middle-aged man laughed and stepped forward to greet him: “I’m also saying Let’s say hello to the clan leader!”
Song Shi read the docking file in advance and knew that this person’s name is “Odo Rhodes” and he is one of the supervisors stationed in the [Salmon Rhodes] clan’s base. .
"I will bring it to you. The clan leader always cares about his clan members." So Song Shi also laughed and shook hands with the other party warmly.
"You are the patrol inspector personally appointed by the clan leader, so you are half a member of our clan." Odo was extremely talkative, smiling constantly and patting his chest hard: "If you ask me, that's us. Half of my family!”
“My family doesn’t dare to take it seriously.” Song Shi remained calm. He let go of his hand and smiled slightly: "I'm just doing what I can for Yanan."
"I understand!"
Odo laughed loudly: "Don't worry! I will It’s been arranged for you! It will never disappoint you and chill the patriarch!”
Song Shi noticed that during the conversation between the two, Anthony was also talking to a contact person. Judging from the other person's attire, he was probably the secretary of a powerful person. After a brief exchange, the two sides gestured to each other, which should be some kind of etiquette.
“This is the etiquette of a wanderer. Of course, I prefer to call it a little skill.”
Under the majestic appearance, Odo’s observation is unexpectedly sharp, and his head is also He didn't reply, but said in a relaxed tone: "Most people have misunderstandings about the 'Wanderer Clan'. They think that we have the same family every day, so we all look the same - how is that possible?"
“Even a family of ten people A small company can have seven or eight chat groups, not to mention tens of thousands of large clans? Within a large clan, there will inevitably be more subdivided groups."
Odo pressed his thumb. , his hands are not prosthetic, they are dark and rough: "For the purpose of recognition, ahem, cohesion, these communities basically have their own unique rules, such as the etiquette when meeting, so you can tell at once whether you are real or not. Family.”
As he spoke, he smiled at Anthony behind him.
Immediately, Odo looked back at Song Shi and seemed to be quite emotional: "The community that Anlaqie belonged to was not big at first. Until now, there are only a few people left. This subordinate of yours is still here You know their etiquette, they are really thoughtful.”
The building where the shuttle is parked is not very high, only about twenty floors.
Song Shi followed Odo for a few minutes and stopped at the middle floor.
"Canteen?" Song Shi looked at the tables and chairs in front of him.
"It's already noon, shouldn't the most important thing be to eat?" Otto showed a row of white teeth and said matter-of-factly: "I will cook myself! Or do you have no time to even have a meal?"
"That's stated in advance. "Song Shi walked into the cafeteria, pulled up a chair, and leaned on it: "I won't help you."
"Of course!" Otto was obviously ready and immediately took the arm. He rolled up his sleeves, picked up the freezer next to him, and went into the back kitchen. Yes, the two-meter-high freezer was easily carried. This local supervisor was clearly a third-level psyker.
It’s normal. Although [Supervision] has the endorsement of the First Court, if you can do it yourself, you can still significantly improve the efficiency of handling many things.
After entering the canteen, the pick-up staff just disappeared without a trace. In the huge canteen, only Song Shi and Odo, who was humming, were left - Lapis Lazuli and Anthony were both there to take care of matters. .
In other words, deliberately giving up space.
Song Shi listened for a while and realized that what the other person was humming must be some kind of wanderer's ballad, with a strong local accent.
To be honest, his singing was actually a little out of tune, but his natural and confident posture made people subconsciously ignore these out of tune. Song Shi listened quietly and couldn't help but think of the scene in his previous life.
The Internet charges in the wasteland area are too high to be abused. When wanderers are running around, the most common entertainment activity at night is for a group of people to sing around a campfire and roast some red maggots, lizards and snakes. Beetles and cactus.
Then a pot of random stew was slapped on the table.
Odo took off his apron with both hands, piled up a stack of plates, bowls, spoons and chopsticks, and sat down.
“Try it!”
Song Shi stared at the colorful things in the iron pot for a while, took a bite, and commented: “It’s edible, but there are too many spices and it’s a bit too strong. . ”
“Really or not? I even tone it down a little.”
Otto grabbed the spoon in surprise and poured himself a bowl: "Isn't this quite bland? Okay, I'll pay attention next time."
"Ask me in advance, do you mind talking while eating? I heard that Donglu people have a tradition of not talking while eating, which is called "eating without speaking," right?"
After receiving Song Shi's reply of shaking his chopsticks, Odo put down his spoon sarcastically.
"Then let me think about it, how do you say it? You know our, um, tradition, right?"
"You say."
Otto put the data tablet on the table. It was equipped with a projection module, and a map that was half the size of the table suddenly appeared. But it's not a three-dimensional model, but a floor plan.
Song Shi recognized it. This was the basic map of the [Samen Rhodes Clan], the map of the three major provinces. Immediately afterwards, the map zoomed in, leaving only the "Lachodi Province", one of the three major provinces where it is now.
“The members of our two clans back then were all destitute people who had lost their homes and graves. A large part of them were victims of oppression by the corporate alliance. Of course, they were not called them at that time. The corporate alliance is disguised as a coalition government."
"The army of companies has usurped our water and land, sifted the people above through sieves over and over again, and threw them into a blender in an attempt to squeeze out the red color. profit. The old traditions and habits were torn to pieces in front of the trend of consumerism, and no one remembers that a few decades ago, what everyone pursued was true love, not some ghostly virtual anchor. "
"At that time, many people fled their homes occupied by the company, joined the clan and became our family, but many people have never forgotten the memories of the company's cruel rule."
Otto tapped his index finger a few times and pulled out a graphic briefing, which was a reference for the development analysis of the "Lachodi Province" in the past five years.
Quite green.
“This also causes us to be more resistant to things involving money.”
