Zhongjing Resource Recycling Site.
K parked the car among the colorful abandoned taxis, opened the door and said with a smile: "We're here, boss."
Leaving Zhizhi in the car, Li Liang got out of the car and looked around.
It turns out that there is a place for recycling abandoned vehicles and airships behind the resource recycling yard.
The so-called resource recycling site is actually a garbage dump.
Uptown discharges all processed recyclable garbage here, and it was here that Massey found the liquid nitrogen freezing equipment with ancient technology, and picked up his cheap labor force from it.
That set of equipment contained no valuable information, so it was later dismantled for parts and sold, replacing it with a bracelet and a set of sheets and quilts.
The area where the garbage dump is located is very remote, close to the edge of the southwest canopy.
Li Liang remembered that when he and Mesai came here for the first time, the old man claimed to be here to load goods, but in fact he just took him to pick up rags.
They climbed up the huge garbage pile like a hill and looked south. The green fields spread to the end of the earth, and they could vaguely see the skyline of the city.
At that time, he simply did not believe that the city would be shrouded in a screen. When he saw that scene, he rushed down the garbage dump crazily and ran south until he was exhausted, and then he saw the truth of the world for the first time.
The sky, fields, and distant cities are all fake.
He felt the high temperature emitted by the movement of the sky, saw the flickering pixels, and saw virtual birds suddenly appearing and soaring in the virtual sky.
Of course, he was knocked over by the robot next and stayed in the Zhongjing Detention Center for more than ten years before being fished out by Messi. He also learned the knowledge that if you approach the sky without permission, you will be beaten.
"Let's go, boss," K greeted and walked towards a dilapidated building in the center of the scrapyard.
Li Liang came to his senses and followed him leisurely.
As he walked through the scrapped vehicles parked haphazardly or stacked together, he saw the logos of about a dozen companies.
These companies carve up the global market in the transportation field. They have different names, but have a unified suffix, SoftBank.
The longer Li Liang lives in this era, the more he will find that Xi'an is undoubtedly violent, cold, and hard. At the same time, Xi'an is also like water, slowly seeping and wrapping the whole world.
Like the ancient emperors, it led the emperor's ministers to the shores of the land, and Shunchang rebelled. At the same time, it also allowed outsourcing companies and private enterprises to exist, even encouraged consumption, and actively promoted currency circulation.
People living under the canopy still have the motivation to "make money" and reap the joy of spending money. People have emotions, work, and entertainment. Life, old age, illness, and death are not fundamentally different from what they have been for thousands of years. Even in Xi'an, the extremely stingy technology monopoly Today, life is still more convenient than before.
However, on the other hand, everyone can clearly feel the huge shadow overlooking all living beings.
To this day, mankind still does not have a formal, government-like organization. The "New Order Joint Conference" was originally a temporary organization established after the war. It has a simple structure and chaotic functions, but it continues to this day.
Currently, there are seven decision-making seats in the joint meeting, including one seat for Xi'an, four seats for the Four Gates, one seat for the Alliance of Humanity's Destiny, and one seat for the Federation of Trade Unions.
All decisions are ostensibly decided by voting at the joint meeting, but in fact most of the time they are decided through discussion by the four gatekeepers.
When Li Liang just woke up, he asked Mesai that the four great clans were also made up of human beings. Didn't they think about overthrowing Xi'an?
Massey told him that the early gatekeepers had not only tried it, but more than once.
At one point, the New Order Joint Conference passed by six votes to prepare for universal suffrage for all mankind and establish a fully functional and formal joint body.
Then……
Xi'an vetoed the resolution with one vote, armed with robot troops and a veto.
Li Liang, who spans a thousand years and has lived in both the past and the future, gradually understands that mankind is moving forward in twists and turns, inspired by two thoughts: "Why?" and "It's almost done."
It took Xi'an hundreds of years to finally find the balance point.
It hides its true history behind the symbol of "divine right of kings", creates new beliefs, and then through strict selection of education, generalized entertainment, and strict rules, successfully makes the most difficult-to-control upright carbon-based monkeys Staying in the cage obediently, and consciously living a happy life.
Wow.
Li Liang opened the door curtain made of beads and came to his senses. It turned out that this dilapidated building was actually a small bar.
"Hey, two Kirin beers," K casually sat down in front of the bar and shouted to the bartender.
Li Liang looked around. The interior decoration was as shabby as the exterior. Probably because it was daytime, there was not a single customer.
The bartender at the bar was a fat man, wearing a leather waistcoat with his arms open. He stretched out his metallic-glossy mechanical hand, took down the cigar from his mouth, and asked casually: "What's the Kirin?"
K smiled: "Add some gypsy bitch saliva."
Li Liang was stunned for a moment. Didn't he realize that this middleman who looked like Aaron Kwok had such strong taste?
The bartender grinned, took out a cigar from the drawer and threw it over: "Spades, what, big business?"
Obviously "add saliva" is a secret code and can also be used to identify one's identity.
"Yes, this is my boss," K said with his thumb, "I'm here to take a look at the new products and change my car on the way."
The bartender glanced at Li Liang and hummed: "Who are you targeting? The policeman? If it's a wealthy person, I can't handle it here."
"Don't worry," K lit the cigar and bit it in his mouth, "It has nothing to do with the family, it's a personal grudge."
"That's good," the bartender slowly squeezed out from the bar, walked to the corner of the side of the bar with his body swaying, and pressed his hand against the wall.
moment.
A small door opened in the wall, allowing only one person to pass sideways.
K signaled with his eyes and led Li Liang through the small door and down the stairs.
A few minutes later, the two walked into a dark basement.
The air was stuffy and filled with a dizzying smell of engine oil.
Translucent plastic sheets were hung everywhere on the low roof, separating areas from each other, revealing equipment of unknown shape and shaking figures.
A skinny man stood in the distance and waved to Li Liang and K.
Li Liang frowned and rubbed his nose. Fortunately, he had eaten one dumpling today, otherwise he would have had to spit it out. The smell of engine oil was too strong.
When he walked over and saw the entire wall of glass cabinets, he realized that the smell in the air was not machine oil, but gun oil.
An entire wall was covered with guns.
"Not bad," K nodded with satisfaction, "Those, yes, those ones, are the butts of those guns real wood?"
The thin man smiled and said: "Yes, beech wood, some are handmade, AK, Beretta, Kar98K, antiques, works of art."
Even if he didn't understand guns, Li Liang knew that those guns were expensive because the wood with the carved patterns was valuable in itself.
He thought for a while and said, "Let's take a look at the AK."
"Tasteful," the thin man pulled a ladder and took down the AK.
After taking the gun, Li Liang couldn't help but think of the tattered equipment of Yuan Zhen's team. UZI was still wrapped with tape. When the gun would explode was entirely up to God.
And this AK... is a real work of art.
The barrel and body of the gun are dark gold in color, and the smooth butt is engraved with complex patterns. The sound of the gun being loaded is crisp and healing.
After feeling satisfied, Li Liang was ready to return the gun. After all, with his financial resources, he could not even buy a few bullets, let alone this gun.
However, when he looked up, he saw K giving him a thumbs up.
"Boss, this gun suits your temperament very well,"
"..."
K turned to the skinny man and said, "My boss wants this one and puts it on the spades account. You can get me a few more light and compact ones."
Li Liang was stunned for a moment, then took the opportunity when the thin man left to get the gun, and whispered: "Spade is..."
"A gang secretly funded by the Presbyterian Church, specializes in dealing with some matters that are inconvenient for Mayfly to come forward," K smiled and added thoughtfully, "A place like this can have debts. The Presbyterian Council told me that we should use 10 to 20 million in funds. No need to report.”
"Oh," Li Liang said thoughtfully, then asked, "Is there any Gatling here?"
The corner of K's mouth twitched: "...No..."
"Where's the bazooka?"
"This really doesn't exist."
Li Liang sighed, what a pity.
——————————
"grass!"
Brother Shui roared angrily and kicked the taxi door, but he forgot that his broken leg had just had a bionic fixator, and he was immediately sweating profusely in pain.
The dozen or so psychics around him all looked annoyed.
Got played again.
Although many people had a hunch that Li Liang would not reveal his location so easily, when they actually discovered that Li Liang had stuffed his bracelet under the passenger seat of a taxi, they had to run to Dongjiang Port like fools. , everyone felt shame.
This is not a conspiracy, just a naked joke.
Even if they guessed it in advance, they would have to be fools for once.
At this time, the team leader's voice sounded in everyone's earphones: "The Lingtan found the place where the bracelet was turned on. It was at the northwest corner square. Li Liang also put the bracelet into the taxi at the northwest corner square. It was there for him. It must have a special meaning. Now, the five-person group from Dongjiang Port stayed behind, and the others were divided into three groups. One group went to the northwest corner square, one group went to the 'Friendship Department Store', and the other group went to the scrap car yard behind the garbage dump, especially the last one. Team attention, Li Liang is likely to change transportation there, so be vigilant."
Brother Shui was assigned to the first group. Before setting off, he stared blankly at the taxi he had just searched, and suddenly thought: "Li Liang is going to the northwest corner square... It's not like he just faked his shot again..."
