Black Rock City.
It is 7 a.m. on March 4, Year 5 of the New Calendar.
As the city bells rang, the tall city gate slowly opened.
Outside the door, a large number of people who wanted to enter the city had already gathered.
"Back off, back off!"
The city guards held guns and kept shouting, pushing the chaotic crowd back several meters.
After a lot of twists and turns, people entering the city finally formed a long queue.
"If you want to enter the city, come here first to exchange for black stone coins. The entrance fee is 100 yuan..."
Beside the city gate, several people wearing Black Rock City uniforms were already on duty and placed an exchange list in front of the table.
The prices for exchanging various materials for black stone coins are stated, but generally few people will exchange them here because the prices are on the high side, and only a few uninformed outsiders will exchange them here.
Most of the people who entered the city had privately exchanged black stone coins in various camps before entering the city.
Meng Xian was currently in the queue entering the city, and she followed the queue for nearly half an hour before it was finally her turn.
After paying one hundred black stone coins, he was told that he could only stay in the city for one day, and then he successfully entered the city.
"Beauty, do you want to buy a house?"
"Beauty, do you want to be a resident of Black Rock City?"
After just a few steps, many agents came up and asked about their needs.
Meng Xian dismissed these people one by one and walked towards the Luwei Group's headquarters.
Luwei Group's headquarters is very large and occupies a large area in the city. There is a magnificent building with many people coming and going.
"Hello, my name is Meng Xian, and I'm here to see Manager Huang..."
"Looking for management Huang?!"
A staff member was startled for a moment and looked Meng Xian up and down. Seeing that she was quite pretty, he believed her and asked her to wait.
After a while, a middle-aged man ran over excitedly.
Manager Huang said excitedly: "Meng Xian, have you finally figured it out?!"
There was a trace of disgust deep in Meng Xian's eyes, but thinking that she had something to ask for, she still kept her temper, glanced left and right, and said, "Can we talk somewhere else?"
"No, come with me and go to my office!"
Manager Huang couldn't hide his joy and quickly led the way, guiding Meng Xian towards a passage.
The office is not small, about ten square meters, with a desk and many documents on the table. At this moment, a young woman wearing a black silk uniform is sorting documents beside the table.
"She is my secretary, don't get me wrong!" Manager Huang quickly explained and waved the secretary out.
The female secretary glanced at him with some resentment, and then turned her attention to Meng Xian. When she saw the scar on her eye, she couldn't help but be stunned, and then showed disdain.
But in his heart, he didn't understand why Manager Huang was so interested in such a wild woman.
Meng Xian had no expression on her face and chose to turn a blind eye.
"Hey, close the door!" When the female secretary went out, she deliberately left the door open, which immediately aroused dissatisfaction from Manager Huang. Seeing that the female secretary did not come back, he could only run over and glare at the female secretary standing outside the door. Then he quickly closed the door.
After doing this, his heartbeat accelerated for a while. When he came back to his senses, he looked at the dreamy figure, swallowed his saliva, and said excitedly: "Meng Xian, if you have any requests, just ask..."
"Our wedding can be as big or small as you want. I will make it beautiful for you..."
"As well as the identity of the resident, I can help you get it done tomorrow..."
"Besides, when we get married, I will give you my salary card and you can buy whatever you want..."
Manager Huang talked a lot, for fear that Meng Xian would regret it.
"I came to you because I have something to ask for your help..." Meng Xian turned around and said with some embarrassment.
This man helped her a lot, but the age difference between the two was indeed too big. The most important thing was that this manager Huang was once her father's driver, so it was not suitable.
"..."
Manager Huang's face froze for a moment, looking a little stiff and a little disappointed, but he soon changed to a look that was willing to help, and said with a smile: "Meng Xian, just ask, if I can do it, I will definitely help you do it. …”
When the end of the world comes, some people will be happy and some will be sad. He is the luckier one.
Before the end of the world, he could not reach someone as fair and beautiful as Meng Xian, and he did not even dare to look at her, so he could only take a sneak peek.
Seeing such an attentive look, Meng Xian was a little tangled. As the saying goes, a man who takes advantage of others has short hands and a man who eats others has a short mouth. "Manager Huang, our age difference is too big, it is not suitable..."
"Not big, not big. Don't look at how old I am. I'm only three years older than you. Really, a copy of my original ID card is in your father's office..."
Manager Huang was also helpless. He had been very precocious since he was a child. When he was in elementary school, he was often regarded as a bad uncle and stopped him from entering the school. When he first entered high school, his classmates mistakenly thought he was a teacher.
Meng Xian was stunned, wondering if he was lying. After thinking about it, she said, "No, I think love is about heartbeat. I don't have feelings for you now..."
"Well...I understand, I understand, I will slowly change myself, and sooner or later I will be worthy of you..."
Manager Huang smiled and had a long time of silly fun.
Although his status is now extraordinary, Meng Xian is no longer the white, rich and beautiful person he once was.
But in his heart, Meng Xian was always the Bai Yueguang in his heart.
Meng Xian simply stopped worrying about this topic and said, "I came to you to ask you for a favor..."
Seeing her entering the group, Manager Huang also became serious, "Say it!"
"There is a photovoltaic power plant over there, which was recently occupied by a foreign force, claiming to be someone from the Rizhao Group..."
"The leader is called Zhao Yu. He has the rank of centurion and has more than 20 soldiers under his command..."
"I want to know if he is from the Rizhao Group and what is their purpose here..."
After listening to the description, Manager Huang frowned slightly, "Rizhao Group seems to have no activities here..."
"There's none?!"
Seeing the disappointment on Meng Xian's face, Manager Huang quickly said: "Don't worry, I'll go find the deacon and ask..."
"Ah, looking for the deacon, shouldn't such a trivial matter alarm him?!" Meng Xian was a little uneasy.
The deacon is a big shot. The entire Black Rock City Luwei Group branch is managed by a deacon named Zhang.
"It's not a small matter, it's your matter, it's a big matter!" Manager Huang patted his chest, "Leave it to me. You can drink tea and sit here for a while. I'll go find the deacon now to help you clarify the matter. …”
After saying that, Manager Huang left in a hurry.
On the way to Deacon Zhang's office, he thought of an excuse.
"Enter!"
"Master Deacon, I have something important to report!"
Deacon Zhang glanced at Manager Huang, nodded and said, "Speak!"
"My informant found people claiming to be from the Rizhao Group a hundred kilometers east of Black Rock City. They were all wearing military uniforms and there were about 20 people..."
"People from Rizhao Group?!"
Deacon Zhang frowned and asked in confusion: "Why do people from Rizhao Group come here?!"
After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said, "The people from Rizhao Group have nothing to do with us..."
Seeing this, Steward Huang quickly said: "Master Deacon, a team that went out in the city recently reported that they encountered strange monsters in the wilderness..."
"Several outdoor gathering places have been destroyed..."
"New monster?!"
"Well, some teams that have fought against this new type of monster said that this monster is extremely good at assassination and cannot be captured by infrared equipment. Its strength is equivalent to that of a third-order and three-series enhancer. It is very difficult to deal with..."
"Third-level monster?!" Is it that one?
Deacon Zhang secretly had some conjectures in his mind.
"Yes, many people speculate that this monster may be related to the Rizhao Group, and it is suspected that it is the product of their new research..."
"Combined with the Rizhao soldiers who recently appeared in the eastern suburbs, I am worried that they are planning some conspiracy. If it is something bad, it will be detrimental to our Black Rock City..."
Deacon Zhang touched his chin, weighed the pros and cons, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll contact the people from Rizhao Group..."
After saying that, he stood up, opened the secret room and walked in.
There were a lot of high-tech products in the secret room. After some manipulation, the projection of Chen Xiao from Rizhao Group appeared in the secret room.
"Deacon Zhang, you are from Luwei Group. Do you have anything to do with me?"
"I heard from my subordinates that your people are operating in the east of Black Rock City. I wonder what they are doing?!"
"Yes?!" Chen Xiao was stunned and shook his head: "No, my people haven't been out at all recently..."
"Yeah?"
Deacon Zhang smiled lightly and said: "Your people claim to be from Rizhao Group. According to our agreement, you seem to have crossed the line..."
"Calling yourself?!"
Chen Xiao thought he was talking about people from the chemical plant being discovered, but now it seems that is not the case.
"That's right, a centurion named Zhao Yu has more than twenty soldiers under his command..."
Zhao Yu? !
Chen Xiao frowned slightly, shook his head and denied, "He's not one of ours!"
"Is it possible that they were sent by other departments of your group?!" Deacon Zhang probed.
"Impossible!" Chen Xiao directly denied it. The group sent people to the south. There was no way they didn't know what to do, otherwise the supplies wouldn't be enough.
"Hmph, if that's the case, then we will kill these people!" Deacon Zhang sneered a few times.
"Whatever you want, we didn't send anyone there anyway, he must be an imposter. If you want to kill him, just kill him!"
After saying that, Chen Xiao hung up the communication directly.
Looking at the disappearing projection, he leaned on his chair and muttered, "Zhao Yu?!"
This was not the first time he heard this name.
I heard this name from the administrator of Vault 12988 before.
It is said that he lived near the chemical plant. Later, his subordinates reported that experimental items in a building of the chemical plant were missing, and traces of fighting were found at the scene.
Combined with the fact that many hidden cameras in the chemical plant were unplugged, it was probably Zhao Yu who did it.
"Should we send someone to kill him?"
Chen Xiao quickly shook his head, "Forget it, he is just a little person, not worth wasting energy..."
…
"It seems like that group of people really has nothing to do with the Rizhao Group!"
Deacon Zhang touched his chin and basically judged the truth from Chen Xiao's reaction.
He walked out of the secret room, glanced at Manager Huang, and said, "That Zhao Yu has nothing to do with the Rizhao Group. You can do whatever you want with him..."
"That thing about the monster..."
"Don't worry about this, it's not your responsibility!"
"Yes!" After getting the answer he wanted, Manager Huang left quickly without leaving a trace.
Soon, he returned to his office and told Meng Xian the information he had obtained.
"Not from Rizhao Group?!" Meng Xian was overjoyed, but unsure: "Is the news accurate?"
"There should be no problem. Deacon Zhang has asked the deacons of Rizhao Group. He is not one of their people..."
Manager Huang smiled slightly and said: "In the past, people often pretended to be people from the three major groups and pulled out a tiger skin, but a fake is a fake and will be exposed sooner or later..."
"Thank you..." Meng Xian thanked her quickly, but she was thinking that with Zhao Yu's few manpower, she would wipe them out in minutes when she returned.
By then, the entire power plant will be theirs!
"Do you and I still need to say thank you? Do you want my help? I have a team under my command that can help you clean it up..."
"No, thank you, I am a third-level dual-system enhancer after all..."
"Okay..." Manager Huang suddenly showed a regretful expression.
After leaving the Luwei Group Building, Meng Xian was filled with excitement and felt that she had solved a problem on her mind.
"Hmph, Zhao Yu, you are really good at pulling off tiger skins. Let's see what you say when I come back!"
She understood that there might be a force behind Zhao Yu, but it was definitely not a big force like the Rizhao Group.
Even if they are stretched to death, they are just a small force in Black Rock City. If this kind of force leaves Black Rock City and enters the wilderness, they can have a try and see who is stronger!
At the very least, the initiative must be exchanged.
After all, when she let Zhao Yu go, she was also afraid of the Rizhao Group behind him. As for the more than 20 ordinary soldiers under him, she could slowly assassinate them even if she did it herself.
Now that it is certain that Zhao Yu does not have such a big backer, there is nothing to say. The power plant must be theirs. If Zhao Yu wants to stay, they will have to pay for the electricity and even protection fees!
If he refuses, let him understand why the flowers are so red!
Thanks to ordinary GarpeDiem for the reward of 200, and thanks to book friend 20230114102756511 for the reward of 100.
