Chapter 219 Moon City
【Larth-Moon Orbit (LTO)】
This is a straight tunnel connecting the capital to the Moon City, and uses a very rare maglev train for transportation (trains are basically not used for transportation nationwide).
If you look down at the earth city and the moon city from high altitude,
Both cities are circular, and this tunnel is the shortest straight line connecting the two "circles".
The total length of the tunnel of about 50km takes less than ten minutes by car.
It’s just that
It's easy to get to Moon City, but it's troublesome to get back.
The safety factors and management models of the two cities are very different.
Any tourist* (regular tourists only) who wants to return to the capital from the moon needs to undergo a very cumbersome physical examination, and the approval rate is extremely low.
Therefore, many people refer to the earth-moon orbit as a "one-way orbit", which can only be passed but cannot come back.
≮The train bound for Moon City has arrived at the station. Residents and passengers who have completed their identity registration are asked to board the train within ten minutes≯
The time now is two o'clock in the morning.
Considering that few people would go to Moon City, and it was late now.
Roddy originally thought he would rent a car, but who knew that there were actually many people on the platform heading to Moon City at this time, and the expressions of these people looked gloomy and gloomy, and even a few of them had despair flashing in their eyes.
Everyone scanned their wristbands one after another and boarded the train.
It was also the first time for Roddy to ride this kind of transportation. Since there was no concept of the last row, he sat in the corner as much as possible.
Each carriage is equipped with a fully armed security personnel, equipped with firearms, power knives and portable restraint equipment. Both the armor and the weapons have the logo of [Atomic Military Industry] printed on them.
Everyone who got on the bus was silent and looked confused.
It's more like a prisoner escort than a transportation transfer between cities.
The security personnel's electronic goggles can directly view the "information" of each passenger.
But when he looked at Roddy in the corner, completely different personal information immediately appeared, most of which was hidden as secrets.
The security personnel were extremely surprised. Generally speaking, "big shots" with such special status would not appear in ordinary carriages when going to Moon City. This was the first time that this happened.
Moreover, the other party looked like a young man in his early twenties, and even his name was hidden as a secret.
Although he was curious, he did not step forward to ask.
At this moment,
Perhaps feeling the gaze, the young man in the corner suddenly turned his eyes and looked into the security guard's eyes through the goggles.
After just a moment of looking at each other, the security guard broke out in cold sweat and subconsciously nodded slightly to the other party.
≮Moon City has arrived, residents and passengers please go to the right exit, passengers please go to the left exit≯
Roddy's identity was identified as [Passenger].
He was the only one heading to the exit on the left.
The rest of the passengers were labeled "residents" and headed to the right side. Roddy also roughly guessed what was going on.
Passengers do not need to undergo any inspection and officially arrive at Moon City through the empty exit passage.
There is no bright light like other cities, but a "normal night". The scattered street lights only provide weak light, not even as good as the moonlight.
All the street buildings that can be seen in front of us are less than ten stories tall, and the buildings are all quite old. I don’t know if they are deliberately made old.
Although it's only less than ten minutes' drive, it feels like I've gone from a prosperous capital to a small town on the 18th tier. The gap is huge.
But Roddy liked it here better.
Quiet, sparse and suitable for a person's life, it is also more suitable for... hunting.
Perhaps due to his pituitary gland, Roddy now prefers a darker environment.
Roddy stood at the exit of the station, pausing for a moment to check the map information on his bracelet... In the side corridor of the exit, something seemed to come out of it, silently.
This thing was originally very slow, but gradually accelerated after seeing Rody.
The ceiling lights in the corridor seemed to have not been repaired for a long time. Many of them were completely broken, or were filled with mosquito corpses, limiting the already limited light.
In the dim passage,
The unknown is approaching quickly
By the time this thing completely emerged from the darkness, it was already very close.
She is an old woman with gray hair,
Standing next to Roddy wearing a pair of old cloth shoes that have been patched many times,
The slightly raised corners of his mouth tugged at the dry and wrinkled skin, and the light only illuminated the lower half of his face.
Although Rody did not feel threatened, he was still ready to kill.
One of the old woman's hands reached into her pocket, searching for something.
The other hand grabbed towards Rody... seemingly slowly, but then suddenly accelerated and grabbed his arm. Snap!
Just as Luo Di was about to take action, he saw the old woman take out a piece of advertising paper from her pocket.
There are four big characters written on it in bright red.
【Taxi for Accommodation】
There are four more such pieces of paper, corresponding to the characters of different countries.
"Master, we are from the same country! Do you need a place to live? The price is affordable and there is wifi. If you need it, I can introduce you to a girl, the price is easy to talk about.
If you want to take a taxi, my old man’s car is right outside the station. Chinese people don’t lie to Chinese people. ”
"Can I take a taxi? No need to place an order online?"
This was the first time that Luo Di encountered such a situation of soliciting customers. He needed a taxi anyway, so he agreed to the other party's request.
"No need to place an order, come with me! How much will it cost depending on the distance?"
The old woman grabbed Roddy's suitcase and dragged it towards a black car not far away, her body was in good shape.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Luo Di followed the other party awkwardly, looking at the old woman from different angles. He didn't see any pseudo-human qualities, nor did he smell any malicious aura.
"The old man is still sleeping! We have a visitor, get up quickly!"
The old woman kicked the car, which already had a lot of scratches on it. It could be seen that the car was quite old, and it was also a very rare gasoline car.
The old man, who had almost lost all his hair, quickly lit the engine and looked at Roddy, his hard-won guest, with a smile on his face.
"Where are you going, handsome guy?"
"Go..."
Roddy looked at the private residence arranged by the headquarters in the bracelet information room, paused briefly, and looked at the old woman outside the car window.
"You also provide accommodation services, right? Can you stay for a long time?"
"We usually rent on a daily basis. Of course, if you want to rent for a long time, it's no problem. It's cheaper for you... How long will you stay for?"
"Let's stay for a week first, and then extend if necessary."
"Good!"
When the old woman heard that the business was getting big, she immediately got into the car.
Townhouse apartment, right next to the train station.
It is only seven floors tall and has no elevator.
It is somewhat similar to the resettlement community where Roddy once lived, except that this apartment looks older.
"Young man, do you want a single room or a suite? For a single person, the daily rent is 60 yuan, and for a suite it is 100 yuan. If you rent it for a week, I will give you a 30% discount."
"Let's have a suite."
Luo Di transferred the money without saying a word and even gave an extra 20% tip. The main reason is that Luo Di has a lot of doubts about Moon City, and he can use this to question the old couple later.
Moreover, this kind of consumption is too low for Roddy. You must know that a paid item on the resort island costs thousands of yuan.
After receiving this huge transfer, the old couple thanked Roddy repeatedly.
"Young man, do you want to live lower down or up above?"
"Are there any more on the top floor?"
"There are some. Generally, people who come to stay in the hotel don't like to climb stairs. The top floor is always empty. But don't worry, we will clean it once a week. It won't be dirty.
Take the key, but don't drop it. ”
"Key?"
An old key with peeling paint was placed in Rody's hand, with the room number [701] taped on it with tape and white paper. This method of opening the door usually only exists in retro movies, and now it is basically electronic locks.
Declined the old couple's farewell.
Roddy carried his suitcase and walked to the top floor alone. It really felt like going home.
The so-called suite is one room and one living room. The furnishings in the house are quite old, as if they were products of the last century.
Roddy had very low requirements for the environment. He deliberately did not live in the room arranged by the headquarters because he wanted to remain "independent" and integrate into this special city as an ordinary person so that he could pry out more secrets about the city.
After sorting out the things in the suitcase, he took out the diary at the bottom. He would not go out hunting for the rest of the night, but would fill in all the diaries that he had not had time to record during this period.
In my spare time, I also visit the horror website of [4hs].
Surprisingly,
When Roddy's landing address was identified as [Moon City], the website page seemed to have undergone some changes. There was an inconspicuous "Moon Zone" in the lower right corner.
