If there is anything in this world that I cannot get used to, it is the slow and painful traffic.
Even professionals, even if they are as strong as the regular level, still have to adapt to the expensive and inefficient means of transportation of this era if they don't want to travel on their own two legs.
First the train, then the bus, then the minibus. Lu Pingping was shaken awake and fell asleep again. Even he was exhausted after dozens of hours of traveling.
Why not build an airship? As a young man with an astronomical bounty hanging on his body, taking an airship probably disrespects his own life and the lives of other passengers.
The reality of traveling alone, in a sense, also gives "bounty hunters" an opportunity to take action.
But the result was quite smooth. In addition to some forces canceling the bounty on him due to various reasons, more importantly, Lu Ping An's "performance" has exceeded the risk of the bounty.
Therefore, despite the fatigue of traveling and riding, Lu Pingping returned successfully.
"finally arrived at home"
The familiar buildings of the past, the familiar gray sky, and the "filter" world unique to old industrial areas that seem to be covered with a layer of dust will probably take more than ten years of treatment before they can be transformed again.
of clarity.
As soon as he got off the station, Lu Pingan took two deep breaths and almost choked.
He is a little unaccustomed to it.
Not only because of the smell of heavy industry here, but also because of the countless "odours" in the nasal cavity.
"One, two, three, four, five, forget it, no need to count."
The names that Lu Pingping counted were the names of alien species. They also came here to hitchhike.
Under normal circumstances, individuals rarely travel across the world. A species often means a group, or at least a migrating tribe.
"Should I say it's thriving? But it feels quite subtle."
Even though it is a transportation hub, the number of overflow foreigners still aroused Lu Ping'an's vigilance.
"Is it about the development zone?"
Some things are subtle. When a region has a special autonomous zone or even preferential policies for foreigners, of course outsiders will gather together.
In order to attract "foreign resources", the ancient city's new development zone provided excellent treatment, which naturally attracted an overflow of outsiders.
They may become a resource for the city, but before that, they must first integrate into the city
"Boss, would you like a bunch?"
And when he just walked out of the station and saw the tentacle monster waving meat skewers and hawking it, even Lu Pingping was stunned for a moment.
The street in front of the station is basically the upper limit of the flow of people, and in many cases, it is also the lower limit of security. But now the originally noisy street is more complicated, with a bunch of strange races and strange stalls.
Most of them sell various style dishes, and the one selling barbecue is relatively easy to accept. The "cooking" that uses ingredients directly from your own body also attracts lots of applause.
Most people watch a lot and buy little. Occasionally, a few try the taste and basically squirt it into their mouths.
In the pavilion on the side, there is a pair of special service teams watching eagerly.
"Unfamiliar faces, it looks like the enrollment has been expanded again, hey, there are also foreigners."
As expected, figures of foreign races also appeared in the official uniforms of the special service team.
It was a tall, six-armed man with a strange majesty on his triangular head. He held his hands in an imposing manner and stared at the entrance, as if to remind some people to stop thinking.
"interesting."
So, Lu Ping'an "opened" his eyes.
The snow-white pupils slowly opened, and everything around them was reflected in them. In Lu Ping'an's eyes, all existence turned into "waves".
Some are strong, some are weak, some are vaguely linked to certain existences, and some are fragile but exude vitality.
The next moment, everything in front of him returned to normal and turned into a black and white "sketch" again, and Lu Ping'an also got what he wanted.
"It's actually a powerful biological species with almost fifth-level strength. No wonder I was admitted under the exception."
Lu Ping'an smiled. It seemed that his hometown was pretty good. At least such individuals were willing to patrol the streets. The social order and security should be relatively stable.
But when he passed by, he found that the big man was pale and trembling all over. The "macho" appearance before had now become like a little shrimp.
"Oh, it turns out I'm still the sensitive type, sorry, sorry."
As he spoke, Lu Pingan said hello and patted the other party on the shoulder.
Amid the disbelieving looks in the eyes of the other special service members, the team's previously unruly "team leader" did not dare to move at all at this time. Then he dropped his hands and sat down directly on the ground.
His six limbs immediately bent down, and his biological instinct made him give up resistance and give priority to survival.
At that moment, he felt like he was being targeted by some kind of monster, swallowing too sensitive a perception, which sometimes might not be a good thing.
However, such a big man suddenly knelt down, which naturally attracted too many eyes.
"what have you done?"
"Don't move! Put down your weapon!"
The strongest man in the team knelt down before he could resist. The other SWAT teams were immediately frightened, but they also took action immediately.
The people were besieged and surrounded, and those who were ready to call people had already started talking on their cell phones.
"Well"
This would be a bit troublesome.
Facing the security guards who gathered around him, Lu Pingan sighed and took out his ID.
"We, Zion District Special Service Team 3, are safe on the road."
"Hello, road team." They received a unanimous salute. Although they were good in strength, judging from their uniforms and epaulettes, it seemed that their internal rank was not high.
"Uh, okay. Sorry, I saw that he was pretty good, so I took a look. I didn't expect him to be quite sensitive."
The small episode passed by in a flash. It was originally a misunderstanding. Lu Ping'an made it clear after a little explanation.
But judging from the subtle looks in the eyes of the surrounding security officers, I am afraid that soon the news of someone's return will spread among the secret service circles.
“It’s a safe journey”
In many ways, Lu Ping An has become a legend in this city.
After all, reputation shaped by the bones of strong men is often the easiest to be recognized. There are countless people who have died directly or indirectly at the hands of Lu Ping'an.
"This is the city you were born in. It seems pretty ordinary."
But Eve, who couldn't wait any longer and hurriedly jumped out, felt a little disgusted after the initial excitement.
The little girl can't speak, so she tells the truth.
Compared with the cities in her memory, the third-tier industrial city in front of her was too ordinary.
The gray city has rather unpleasant air, and coupled with the recent launch of a new round of industrialization, it appears overcrowded and chaotic in every aspect.
With her sensitive senses, she hated the smell of this air, and even more hated the obvious dust on the buildings in this city.
"But since it is your hometown, I will try my best to like it."
The little girl's efforts to clench her fists, even though she knew she probably couldn't do it, made Lu Ping'an laugh.
"If you like it, you just like it. It doesn't require effort. If you like it, it's mostly fake."
After touching the little girl's head, Lu Ping'an also called the person who picked up the car under her unhappy complaints.
But this time, he did not successfully return to his headquarters and home in Zion District.
"My police chief, why don't you come and report this once?"
Wang Xier, the deputy district chief of the Alien Development Zone, caught him directly.
