Chapter 189 Entering the Canyon (first update to congratulate Meng Zhu Taizhong)
Qu Jianlei and Qu Jianlei stayed in the safe house for three full months before Qu Jianlei successfully calculated the first mental spell.
The two of them thought it over and decided not to leave the orchard at all and continue to stay in the safe house.
More than two months later, Qu Jianlei calculated the second spiritual spell.
They can go out at this time. It will be almost a year since they last went to Central City.
Before the two went to Central City, they quietly went to the orchard.
Qu Jianlei disguised himself as a single traveler and when passing by an orchard on his motorcycle, he stopped and pretended to ask about buying oil.
Because he has practiced spiritual techniques and maintained them deliberately, he can invisibly give people a feeling of relaxation.
The person he was looking for was also a former employee in the orchard, an older man who worked more practically.
The old man enthusiastically pointed out to him the place to buy oil, and he tried to buy some food.
After going back and forth, he learned about the current situation of the orchard.
Since he and Xiao Moshan left, several groups of people came to search.
At first, the searchers did not pay attention to the contractor's departure. Later, when they could not see the two men for a long time, they suspected that they were wanted criminals.
But they did not confirm that these two people were Jian Lei and Mo Huaitian. The reason was very simple. No one knew that Mo Huaitian was lame.
Anyway, there has been a massive search in the canyon recently, and many suspects on the wanted list have been affected and have run away.
So they thought that these two men either had criminal records or were murdered on the way out.
After the orchard owner heard the news, he subcontracted the orchard, but the price was not very good.
However, there is nothing that can be done, the two are gone forever, and the orchard is incurring expenses every day.
The owner wanted to rent out the original price, but when others heard this, they shook their heads: Are you renting out an orchard or a gold mine?
The owner struggled for more than two months and finally rented it out at a 30% discount. He felt extremely depressed.
The new contractor was not only very tight on paying rent, but also significantly reduced the wages of employees.
This decision made the employees extremely dissatisfied, but the new contractor was justified.
"This is what I call a contract. The prices of the two fugitives in front are nonsense."
Some employees were so angry that they left the orchard directly, while those who stayed couldn't help but complain secretly.
Qu Jianlei could intuitively feel that the other party was telling the truth, and felt slightly relieved: It seems that the canyon is not omnipotent.
He doesn't plan to come back, but the traces are not exposed, which means that the two of them are relatively safe.
He went back to talk to Xiao Moshan about the situation, and the two decided to take action.
In the lofty mountains more than 100 kilometers southwest of the central city, there is a place that is "an important military area that outsiders are not allowed to enter."
Surrounded by a barbed wire fence with trenches inside, the defenders could not be seen, but the air of killing was rushing towards them.
The gatekeepers of the level are people from Central City's military. There are not many of them, most of them are transformation warriors and ultimate warriors.
Qu Jianlei drove his car to the checkpoint and pushed Xiao Moshan out of the car, who was in a wheelchair.
Several guards looked at them expressionlessly. They only authenticated documents and did not recognize people.
Qu Jianlei took out two documents and handed them over, and a guard took them over for inspection.
He vaguely felt that something was wrong, and then his mind fell into a trance for a moment, and he felt that there was nothing wrong.
So he handed the ID to another guard, "It should be fine, just take a look."
The rule here is double inspection, but triple inspection is also normal.
This person took the certificate and took a look at it. He also felt that something was inappropriate and felt that it was okay, so he handed it to the third person.
The third person took a look and raised his eyebrows. Before he could say anything, an ultimate warrior came over.
He took the certificate and turned it over, feeling...a little weird, "What do you think?"
The third person thought there was no problem and "didn't see the problem."
"Well," the ultimate warrior handed the two certificates back to Qu Jianlei, changing his seriousness from before, and actually looked a little scared.
Because he knew the identity of the other party in his heart - he was the man from the canyon.
No matter how the people in Central City felt about the canyon, as the guardian of the canyon entrance, he knew very well that the people in the canyon were scary.
Qu Jianlei took the certificate, pushed Xiao Moshan, and walked towards an off-road vehicle in the checkpoint with an indifferent expression.
He has long understood these rules and regulations, and he does them very calmly.
There are not many cars in the central city, mainly motorcycles and bicycles.
But here, there are a lot of idle vehicles, and you can just drive them casually. It can be seen that...the gap exists objectively.
Moreover, the vehicles here are all customized, and vehicles from outside cannot enter.
Vehicles inside can get out, but it is basically impossible to get out because there is no need - this is the arrogance of the canyon.
Qu Jianlei drove the car steadily for more than ten kilometers without anyone blocking him on the road.
When the car reached the foot of the mountain, two mechas appeared in front of them, "IDs!"
These two mechas belong to the canyon. Just looking at their appearance and thickness, they feel more upscale than those in Central City.
A mecha warrior took the certificate and inserted it directly into the card slot on his arm.
The next moment, a red light kept turning on, and Xiao Moshan's face suddenly changed slightly, the secret was not good.
Qu Jianlei was already ready to make a final decision - the forged document failed!
The documents must be forged. They killed many people in the canyon and obtained many documents for reference.
It's not difficult to fake the appearance, Xiao Moshan can do it by himself, but the core... it's very difficult.
After all, Qu Jianlei's mechanical manufacturing level was not low, and he also had many tools, so he tried his best to imitate them.
The card slots on the arms of these two mecha warriors are used to read the core and will alert the police when encountering fake documents.
There are three types of alarms. The low-level ones are light and sound alarms, and the high-level ones are where the mecha warriors actively trigger the alarm to the base.
However, with only sound and light warnings, these defensive soldiers were able to take action.
The red light flashed a few times and there was no movement. Qu Jianlei felt relieved: Finally, there was no sound.
Xiao Moshan knew this process clearly, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The two mecha warriors exchanged glances, "Why did it seem to be red light just now...and then it turned green?"
"Use my detector," another mecha warrior took off the ID from the opponent's arm.
This certificate is not a general certificate for the canyon, but a pass for entering and exiting the central city.
When people from the canyon come to Central City, they sometimes lie in wait for many years or even generations, and they may also experience battles.
The document may be worn or even damaged, so the detector's alarm... is not unacceptable.
There is no sound alarm, which means that the damage to the document is not serious, but if the red color turns green, it still needs to be rechecked.
This time Qu Jianlei was more confident. One of the spiritual arts he mastered was blindness.
Strictly speaking, blinding is a type of illusion, and most illusions require A level to cast.
B-level spiritual warriors can only master a few illusion techniques, and blinding techniques are not something that ordinary B-levels can master.
Xiao Moshan strongly suggested that Qu Jianlei practice this technique, but Qu Jianlei didn't need his reminder.
Now a soldier inserts his ID into the detector on his arm, and what he sees is a steady green light.
"Well, it's green," another soldier snorted and looked at the two people opposite him, "keep your documents safe next time."
Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, but Xiao Moshan rolled his eyes, "Isn't it obvious that he is disabled? It would be nice to have a certificate."
The two soldiers ignored him, took out a hand-held instrument, scanned the wheelchair up and down, and waved to let him go.
Qu Jianlei pushed his wheelchair forward and walked for almost half a kilometer. Then he turned and saw an alloy gate appearing at the foot of the mountain in front of him.
The turning point is about half a kilometer away from the gate.
Xiao Moshan couldn't help but sigh, and whispered expressionlessly, "I'm almost scared to death... You're still not good at this level."
"You don't even understand the detection mechanism, otherwise, why would I bother so much?"
"I am a warrior!" Xiao Moshan replied calmly, "If it is a weapon, I can still maintain it to some extent."
"As long as I know how to use these daily equipment, why should I understand the principles? Do you really think I am as free as you?"
"Is this what I call leisure?" Qu Jianlei argued helplessly, not interested in defending.
"Okay," Xiao Moshan said without moving his lips, "Don't talk, we need a recording device."
Haven't you been saying that? Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes helplessly.
Walking to the alloy door, the two of them put their IDs on the door's card slot.
Fortunately, the door's identification system was a bit cruder than the Mecha Warrior's detector, and the door slid to both sides silently.
Inside the door is a spacious hall with bright lights and a very hard and flat floor.
At the end of the hall was another door, and the two of them swiped their cards to enter again.
After entering, there is a sealed space, about four meters high, three meters wide, and five meters long.
The door slowly closed behind them, and Xiao Moshan raised his hand to swipe the card again.
The closed space begins to move, from slow to fast, the acceleration is not very large, and people inside do not feel it clearly.
Qu Jianlei felt like taking an elevator in Blue Star, but there was a monitoring system in this space, so there was no way to discuss anything.
The two of them stayed in the space bored, not even bothering to talk.
After almost twenty minutes, the space stopped, and another door appeared on the opposite side.
The door opened, revealing another spacious hall, with the door wide open.
Fifty or sixty meters away from the door, two ordinary people, a man and a woman, were sitting.
Yes, they are ordinary people, and their appearance is just that—even by the standards of the wasteland, they can only be considered average.
Qu Jianlei had heard Xiao Moshan say this a long time ago, but he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
They say same people have different fates, but in fact some people have already won at birth.
Just as Xiao Moshan said, the two men and women checked their documents and let them go directly.
Qu Jianlei looked around calmly. Sure enough, there were seven or eight similar doors.
However, the door the two of them came out of was obviously different from other doors.
(First update, He Mengzhu "Prime Minister Chen Taizhong's Belly".)——————
Chapter 190 High Technology (Second update congratulating the cute master Fei Hu)
Qu Jianlei looked around, it seemed that it was just a subconscious behavior, neither the man nor the woman cared about it.
The two of them walked out of the door. Two men who had transformed into warriors at the door took their passes and stamped them with a metal stamp.
In short, the most difficult level was finally over, and the two of them successfully blended into the canyon.
After stamping, Qu Jianlei pushed Xiao Moshan out of the last door.
There are rows of cars parked in the spacious parking lot outside the door, and most cars have uniform signs.
These have a unified logo and are public taxis - Qu Jianlei couldn't help but think of Blue Star's "shared bikes".
He first pushed Xiao Moshan to a closed pavilion at the door. There was a middle-aged woman sitting in the pavilion.
He spoke aloud, "The identity card was damaged in the battle. Please use the energy block banknote to apply for a universal card."
The woman glanced at him, then at Xiao Moshan who was sitting in the wheelchair, and nodded slightly, "How much?"
In the canyon, personal identity and wealth cards are bound, and almost no one uses cash.
Many trading places are so smart that cash cannot be used, and the use of cash in large amounts is strictly prohibited.
But universal cards also exist, which are equivalent to Blue Star’s bearer cards.
After all, if the ID card is lost, it will take a while to replace it. If it happens to be in an inconvenient place, people cannot starve to death.
Ordinarily, if you want to redeem a general card, if you are not using silver dollars or canyon coins, you still need to go through the procedures.
But the middle-aged woman also understands that this place is connected to Central City. Looking at the other side, there is another disability.
These two people must have experienced battles, and energy block banknotes are also hard currency with stable value in the canyon.
All she did was skip the formalities and exchange it directly - someone else would do the same thing.
Qu Jianlei took out ten banknotes worth one thousand yuan and handed them over.
The woman took the banknote and looked at him in surprise, "Why are there so many?"
Even in the canyon, this kind of banknote can be exchanged for one hundred yuan for one energy block.
A 10,000 yuan bank note can be exchanged for 100 energy blocks, which is not a small amount in the canyon.
To use Blue Star's words to describe it, such a large cash flow is already suspected of money laundering.
Qu Jianlei pointed to the public taxi in the distance, "I can't keep pushing my comrades. Renting a car requires a deposit."
Of course, there is no deposit required when renting a car with an ID card, but with a general card, a deposit is really required.
The woman nodded, agreed with his words, and took out ten general cards worth one thousand yuan.
Qu Jianlei took out some small-denomination energy block banknotes and exchanged them for some small-denomination universal cards and canyon coins.
The middle-aged woman couldn't help but sigh, "You two have gained a lot this time..."
Xiao Moshan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, replied expressionlessly, "It's still far from the price of regenerating a severed limb!"
Didn't you just see that I gained something, but didn't you see that I'm disabled?
The woman smiled coquettishly and said no more.
Under Xiao Moshan's guidance, Qu Jianlei chose a car and inserted four thousand-yuan cards directly, and the car automatically unlocked.
Although it is a public rental, the deposit is so high, the grade is not low, and the level of intelligence is very high.
I found a wheelchair, the body was lowered directly, and a board was extended. Although it was a bit angled, it was considered barrier-free.
Seats and other items in the car are also very smart and slide open automatically to make room for the wheelchair.
Xiao Moshan rolled his wheelchair, got into the car, and then said, "Let's drive automatically."
Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes at him, "I don't even have my ID card, so I don't want to drive autonomously."
He read a place with his voice, and a touch screen automatically rose up on the driver's seat to let him confirm whether the location was correct.
"I'm sure it's correct," Qu Jianlei muttered and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Now he really believes that Canyon has inherited the technology from before the end of the world, and it feels much better than Blue Star.
Even the quality of shared cars is so high, the cars in Central City are really incomparable to those here.
The buildings in the canyon are generally not very low, and are all about ten stories high, but the tallest ones are about thirty or forty stories high.
The speed of the shared car is not low, it can reach 70 or 80 kilometers per hour, and it is weaving through the traffic.
It took more than thirty minutes to reach the destination and ran almost forty kilometers.
After getting off the car, Qu Jianlei put in coins, took the deposit, and then said, "Return the car."
The shared car drove away automatically, and Xiao Moshan sighed softly, "The price has increased."
Qu Jianlei moved his mouth and couldn't help but ask, "How many people are here?"
"Only 20 to 30 million," Xiao Moshan replied casually, "Try to say this in public as little as possible."
Qu Jianlei pushed Xiao Moshan to a sports goods store and bought a highly intelligent automatic wheelchair.
The price of the wheelchair is very affordable, less than 800 yuan.
This is a self-propelled wheelchair that accepts various commands and can hold up a folding awning when it rains.
Qu Jianlei asked the store if it would recycle old wheelchairs, but the store owner gave him ten silver dollars.
However, when he was about to leave, the shopkeeper stopped him and said, "Take your garbage away quickly!"
He pointed at the old wheelchair with a look of disgust on his face.
Qu Jianlei was a little surprised when he heard this, "Isn't this... a discount of ten yuan?"
"Just think that I'm paying the freight for your garbage," the shop owner waved his hand impatiently, "Let's go quickly."
Garbage removal freight? Qu Jianlei thought it was a bit ridiculous. I am already a B-level soldier, but I still can't escape the fate of garbage transportation?
He suppressed the confusion in his heart and pushed the old wheelchair away.
In Central City, the cost of this wheelchair will not be less than one hundred silver dollars, and the material cost will not be less than forty dollars.
But in the canyon, he was regarded as trash by others.
Soon, Qu Jianlei discovered that what the shop owner said was true - littering was prohibited on the street.
And if you want to throw such a big wheelchair anywhere...that's impossible, because there are cameras everywhere.
The cameras in Central City are already quite dense, but there are still many blind spots, but in the canyon... Xiao Moshan said there are no blind spots.
Of course, it is only relative that there is no such thing as public restrooms... it is absolutely impossible to have them.
Qu Jianlei pushed his wheelchair for two blocks before encountering a garbage truck.
Even this kind of car is self-driving, and it intelligently displays subtitles, "Do you want to remove the abandoned wheelchairs?"
In order to throw away the wheelchair, Qu Jianlei threw in three silver dollars. He didn't know how to calculate this.
After the two left, they planned to buy some new clothes - the clothes they wore were incompatible with the canyon.
While walking on the road, Qu Jianlei asked curiously, "The garbage dump in Hongzi District...is where the garbage in the canyon is dumped?"
"There are also pre-apocalyptic ones," Xiao Moshan replied expressionlessly, "How much garbage can the canyon alone produce?"
The Hongzi District should be a garbage dump? Qu Jianlei curled his lips helplessly, "Why not throw it into the Huangzi District?"
"Why didn't you throw it away?" There was no emotion in Xiao Moshan's voice, "The garbage in Hongzi District is not the most harmful!"
Qu Jianlei didn't like to quarrel, but he couldn't help but say, "This is such a waste of transportation capacity. Can't it be digested locally?"
Xiao Moshan was silent for a long time before answering, "I'm not the decision-maker."
The two of them went into a hypermarket and bought some clothes and shoes without spending much money, less than 300 yuan.
Seriously, it was their old clothes... they couldn't just throw them away if they wanted to, so they ended up throwing them to the merchant.
After going out, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but mutter, "The concept of consumption is really abnormal."
In the settlement area of the wasteland, there are too many people with no clothes on, and countless people freeze to death every winter.
His predecessor was so distraught that he traveled through time.
Here, the clothes I changed were thrown away to the merchants. The merchants all looked helpless, but they dared not speak out in anger.
Xiao Moshan was silent. He had stayed in Central City for so long and could deeply feel the difference.
"The material is extremely rich..." Qu Jianlei muttered in a low voice and curled his lips.
Then the two bought some daily necessities, but they didn't use much money.
Next, it was time to find a place to stay. Xiao Moshan led the way and found a group of low buildings.
The building complex looks inconspicuous, but the environment is very good, and the room layout is quite luxurious, but... the price is also very beautiful.
The most important thing is that as long as you have money to stay here, your identity will not be checked.
Qu Jianlei thought of the folk houses in Blue Star's holiday villa.
After entering the house, the two of them took a look and found that there was no obvious abnormality around them.
Qu Jianlei took out his tools again and scanned the house for any surveillance or listening equipment.
Just as Xiao Moshan said, there were no such things in the room, and his caution did not yield any results.
Qu Jianlei didn't mind either, but asked aloud, "Why hasn't anyone in the canyon checked our identities all day?"
"It's been a long time since peace broke out," Xiao Moshan replied indifferently, "You may not understand this situation."
How can I not understand this situation? Qu Jianlei looked at him speechlessly, "What if something bad happens unexpectedly?"
"The processing mechanism of the canyon is very comprehensive," Xiao Moshan replied nonchalantly, "the mobilization ability is very strong."
In the next few days, the two of them went out for a walk from time to time.
Qu Jianlei observed carefully and found that the people here lived quite peaceful and orderly lives.
Most people looked relaxed and spoke and acted casually.
Qu Jianlei even saw two fights, both of which were fights between ordinary people.
This is the life that normal people should live, he couldn't help but sigh.
But such days ended on the morning of the sixth day.
Xiao Moshan said seriously, "It's time to find a place to camp. We are not really here for a vacation."
Who is going on vacation with a grown man like you? Qu Jianlei nodded, "Then let's stay outdoors for four days."
The canyon has an automatic review mechanism. Deliberate supervision will be canceled and the alert level will be lowered nine days after entering the city.
Even ordinary people in the canyon don't know this statement, but Xiao Moshan said with great certainty: That's it.
