Chapter 8, Disclosure
Manager Song, I would like to find a gentleman who can communicate well at school, as well as a customer who can help me with some daily necessities
Since the path taken is not illegal and the goods sold are useful to the entire region and even the surrounding areas, this situation has persisted under the principle that the people do not report and the authorities do not investigate
The infrastructure within the dungeon is, in fact, quite comprehensive
He rummaged through these items, and his expression suddenly became somewhat serious. Only then did he carefully put them away, picking up the bag and walking into the room.
This style, reminiscent of wasteland punk, is actually the everyday life of the entire Wandering Earth
This is precisely the purpose of Zhuang Quan; what he needs is a stable source of income, a place where he can make his voice heard, rather than a brief transaction.
Zhuang Quan walked past two streets under maintenance and a bustling mahjong parlor before arriving at a somewhat dimly lit area
Song Yang nodded and opened the computer beside him. In this era, he was using a computer that was decades old, which seemed somewhat out of place
He also considered this aspect, and it is difficult to ensure that these individuals will not have any unfounded associations
Song Yang raised his head and said, "Do you know the rules?"
Our boss said that in both life and work, one must have a conscience! Song Yang raised his head and said, "The rescue team members are risking their lives to save others, and they even have to spend their own money to support orphans. If they were to charge for their services, would they still be considered human?"
Thank you! Zhuang Quan nodded, "As for what the merchant said..."
The intermediary office was dimly lit, yet there were hardly any people present. The seats that were supposed to be occupied for discussions were all empty. However, in front of the central counter sat a middle-aged man who was engrossed in his mobile phone.
Zhuang Quan nodded, and he naturally understood this point. It is said that here, one has connections that reach the heavens. Before he had grown up, he would not make such a basic mistake.
"Alright!" Song Yang said with a smile as he took it over, "You need to be clear about what specific content you require!"
He handed a list in his hand to Zhuang Quan, "Take this to No. 13 Heijie, find Old Zhao, and just say that Song Yang introduced you; he will understand naturally"
Zhuang Quan received the nameplate, and after confirming that he had not overlooked anything, he finally shouldered his bag and walked into the dark and deep street
Welcome to the Black Street Agency, I am the manager, Song Yang! The man immediately said, since you are here to find someone, you naturally know the rules here, which means you are his guest
It is important to note that although we are still in the era of brakes and * maps * for vehicles, there are only five years left until the timeline of the acceleration era, when the Earth will completely leave its orbit and fly out of the solar system
This is the Black Street, as the name suggests, a special street that cannot activate high-power electricity due to equipment reasons, which has now naturally become the preferred area for gray market transactions
However, the personnel here are mixed, and the area is chaotic. If someone were to steal it and use it to open a few doors, and something went wrong, you, as the owner of this badge, would also bear joint responsibility
So many daily chemicals are products from the era before the construction of planetary engines. After all, this era does not use plastic for packaging, but rather utilizes silicate compounds extracted from stones
The matter of time travel is difficult to uncover, but if one were to speculate that he has a warehouse address from several decades ago, and then during his travels, a black market deal goes awry, it would indeed be quite troublesome
Forget it, let's not enter the dungeon until we have the ability to protect ourselves
"We do not accept items here, sir!" the middle-aged man reminded upon seeing Zhuang Quan's appearance
The place is still bustling with voices, yet there is an added sense of caution and conservatism. Some shops remain open, but their doors are closed, waiting for certain individuals to pass by and knock directly on the door
However, Zhuang Quan is also aware that a large number of advanced technologies and high-tech equipment related to *maps* are now utilized in dungeons and planetary engines, while the items they use themselves are merely outdated goods that were eliminated many years ago
Although the underground city of Hangzhou is still in a stage of great underdevelopment, the surface has already been plagued by continuous disasters, making it uninhabitable except in a few locations
Zhuang Quan nodded: "I understand, I am here to find someone!"
Zhuang Quan was not seeking these things, so he did not examine them closely. He continued along the road, passing through the shop area and the street vendor area, and arrived at a place that was even darker.
A four or five-year-old little girl, I hope to find a school for her, after all, you know how busy we are these days, the only place she can stay is at school
In addition to these organizations that are recruiting newcomers, there are also quite a number of residents who are wandering around here
Zhuang Quan nodded in understanding, carefully putting away the badge nameplate, "Thank you for the reminder"
Zhuang Quan tightened the straps of his backpack and walked into No. 13 Black Street
Liu Qi and Han Duoduo in The Wandering Earth 1 also left the underground city using a similar method, but that era was more advanced, with the technology for forging identity tags.
Song Yang gazed at his back, his expression curious, "In this day and age, it is not easy to find a plastic bag, https://www.hetushu.com.com!"
This is your share! He packed a prepared bundle of items into a plastic bag and handed it to the other party
Why is this?" Zhuang Quan was taken aback
Thus, he walked straight in without even glancing at the guard beside him
He pointed at Zhuang Quan's badge and waved his hand
Song Yang glanced at him, his expression softened, and handed him an envelope. "Is this for the rescue team? That's quite simple. You won't need to give me anything for this. Just take this letter and go find the principal of your area!"
"Plastic bag? Which warehouse did you rob this from?" Song Yang teased, while Zhuang Quan remained silent, pulling the opening of his backpack and turning to leave like that
Although no one would be foolish enough to use a badge to impersonate oneself, in the electronic age, it can be easily exposed with a simple scan
He thought with some regret and melancholy, and then was stopped in his tracks by this stout-armed guard
Zhuang Quan walked out of the intermediary office, and cold sweat immediately broke out!
This is the big haul, the goods from the rescue team, and they are becoming increasingly scarce. You must be the last batch, right?" Song Yang seemed to be asking him, yet it also felt like he was answering himself, "Yes, this is indeed the last batch at this time. Once you pass, it will be difficult to obtain these goods again!
This is a place rumored to be connected to influential figures, m.hetushu.com does not engage in any physical business; its sole operation is to find people, which can also be described as acting as a broker
Zhuang Quan nodded and handed over a pack of cigarettes, "I got this from a supermarket in the Magic City, it's from 50 years ago, guaranteed authentic!"
He nodded slightly, this is the place, the black market agency.
As per the usual practice, take out one-tenth, and you can retrieve the items yourself; we will not search! His tone was quite confident, "However, on this street, no one has ever deceived us into making a deal; you should understand!"
As for the future, if increased transactions lead to being feared, manipulated, or even controlled, to be frank, if one possesses a golden finger yet can still be manipulated, then their life is rather unsuccessful; it would be better for them to be dead
Although it is dark here, a red lantern is hanging, and beneath the lantern stands a person wearing a mechanical exoskeleton, quietly standing there.
In some places further away, there are still people setting up street stalls, but these individuals are covering their faces and wearing black clothing, seemingly to conceal their identities
However, the completion date of the first batch of underground cities actually dates back to 2039, so this black street has already existed for over a decade.
Zhuang Quan was brought here by Li Miao twice, claiming that it was to help him become familiar with the situation here, so that he could assist him in the future. Now that I think about it, Li Miao clearly had a death wish, entrusting his last wishes to him
