Chapter 8, what a pity for the beautiful face
Of course. Li Jie smiled and nodded, as he has always been open to making friends
"Southwest Station!" the girl urged, saying to hurry up
"Is it going to the subway? Why is the road closed here?" Li Jie was just trying to inquire about the situation when the girl smiled and said, "You really don't understand the eighth-level urban area, do you? After 8 PM, the city roads are closed, and you can only take the main roads... Hey, handsome, stop looking at your watch. After 10 PM, all signal stations in the city are shut down, and only military communication devices will work. You might as well give your navigation a rest!"
The young girl squeezed through the excited crowd as if she were oblivious, descended from the rooftop, and made her way down the stairs
The girl still remembered, feeling very excited yet unwilling to accept the situation, she complained: "This is really pointless! Pointless! Two cowards! They should have held on until the end just now and crashed directly! If they had crashed directly, they would definitely have seriously injured one! At the last moment, they let go, how boring, how boring, how utterly boring!"
At this moment, Li Jie had already anticipated that it was a den of wolves inside, but he was very curious to know what was actually going on. Therefore, he entered, just as Chen Shang had said, that skillful individuals tend to be bold and provoke trouble, which is indeed a significant factor
"Give me the identity information, it must be used for the application." Li Jie was not joking, but the girl laughed and said, "What’s the rush? You didn’t mention it until we got to the subway station, I still have to give it. Is there a flying rope in a Level 5 city?"
Of course, it's boredom. The girl laughed dismissively and said, "In an eighth-level urban area, by 8 PM, there is no internet, you can't play games, you can't chat with friends on the phone, and there are no entertainment facilities. What else can you do? If you're just sitting around with nothing to do and not causing trouble to vent your frustrations, are you supposed to do good deeds and volunteer to sweep the streets?"
After a while, when it was their turn, the young girl grabbed the sliding buckle and attached it to the metal rope, urging, "Hold on to me
These men and women, of all ages, including some very elderly individuals, seem to confirm the young woman's statement that at night, everyone is too idle, and even in such heavy rain, many people are unwilling to stay in the dreary house
Buildings flashed by beneath and beside them, as if soaring through the air. When they encountered particularly long and steep ropes, the girl shouted with excitement.
Many people excitedly echoed and shouted: "Eliminate them!"
Recognize
Come, I will take you to the subway station
Li Jie was still thinking about the two people who had been thrown out. Fortunately, the buildings were densely packed, so there was a high probability that they would land on the top of one of the buildings. However, if the combat power was limited, then the micro-nuclear energy dark suit would not be able to withstand too much impact and would surely be injured.
Li Jie shook his head in refusal. At that moment, the young girl took a stack of money from the man's hand, walked over with a cheerful demeanor, and casually said, "Just wait here, I will be back soon"
The girl is smiling happily, as she is certainly in the featherweight category
After a moment, a small window in the door opened, revealing a glimpse of the young girl, and after scrutinizing Li Jie for a moment, the door was finally opened. Upon hearing the noise, it was evident that there were reinforced locking mechanisms all around inside the door.
Li Jie reached out to grab the sliding buckle and said with a smile, "Why don't you hold me instead."
The girl pointed at the rainy sky, and Li Jie followed her gaze, only to discover that there was something mysterious about the building. Thick metal rods were laid across the top of the structure, which had not been there during the day. When Li Jie saw new metal cables suddenly being pulled up, he was even more astonished by this display.
Two individuals glided through the rainy sky along a rope, as the turbulent air carried raindrops the size of beans, striking their faces with a surprisingly stinging pain
Li Jie fell silent. Since there was no enmity or grievance, why was there such an expectation for others to be hurt? He felt that they should communicate and talk it over, but just as he was pondering how to start the conversation, he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Hong Xiao, Hong Xiao—"
Speechless. Li Jie laughed heartily; upon hearing this young lady, he found her reasoning quite compelling.
"Is there a sign after the road is closed?" Li Jie began to worry. Without a map, is he to wander aimlessly like a headless fly? He could only hope that there would at least be directional signs indicating the key buildings.
It is very close
"Let's go, we need to take this way down, and I will also find someone to collect a debt." The young girl urged, finally pulling Li Jie inside.
The Southwest battle was not the one that Li Jie had come for, and he did not say much as he continued down. After descending approximately six floors, the staircase was blocked. The young girl knocked on the door of the stairwell, and Li Jie noticed that the closing mechanism of the door had been reinforced artificially
How far is it?
I will take you to the subway station
As she descended the stairs, the young girl quickly ran up to a man with a scarred face, extended her palm and waved. The man glanced at Li Jie a few times and shouted, "Make some room for this young brother."
The loud crash upon landing resembled a muffled thunder
Li Jie smiled and looked at the young girl, saying: "Red light beauty, you may leave, but you must leave the money that was paid for me."
At the same time, the young girl suddenly urged the people in front, saying: "What are you doing up there? Hurry up, hurry up, we are in a rush!"
Unless there is a marriage certificate
At this moment, Li Jie realized that the traffic network of the night sky carried considerable risks
"I have been your girlfriend for a few days, can't you bring your girlfriend home?" The girl was very unwilling, clearly aware of the strictness of the traffic checks within the five-level urban areas, but uncertain about the degree of enforcement.
"With your weight, there is absolutely no pressure." Li Jie said confidently
Li Jie thought for a moment and, not minding the trouble, promised: "You can submit an application to invite friends, but you will need to wait for one month. If you are not afraid of waiting, tomorrow next month, I will be responsible for inviting you to play in the five-level urban area, but the time cannot exceed one day"
"Who are they calling you?" Li was uncertain, as she still did not know her surname or given name.
"Those two cowards?" the girl retorted, then shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Who knows what they are worth!"
In the center of another rapidly sliding long rope, there is another one beside it. The girl holding Li Jie exclaimed in surprise, and suddenly, her excited finger pointed to the side ahead.
Such an interesting matter, yet Chen Shang and the others have never mentioned it! Li Jie can only regret knowing too late; otherwise, he would have come to experience it long ago. Although he understands that Chen Shang and his friends likely refrain from discussing matters beyond the third-tier cities due to their inner insecurities, he still feels that he must blame Chen Shang and then press for more interesting stories.
More than 300! The girl, accompanied by Li Jie, ascended to the rooftop nearby, where many people had already gathered. Some were using sliding buckles to jump onto the taut ropes, swiftly gliding through the narrow void between the buildings, disappearing into the curtain of rain; others were waiting for additional ropes to be tightened and secured.
After sliding for ten minutes, there were many people on the rooftop, and each one was holding a weapon. Some individuals were excitedly raising and waving their arms, shouting: "Take them down!"
Really
How much further is it
"Sure, we can go get the marriage certificate. After a few days, once I've had enough fun, I'll get a divorce. I definitely won't cling to you." The girl's astonishing words left Li Jie momentarily stunned. Her expression was very serious, showing no signs of joking. After saying this, she looked at him with great anticipation.
I am willing, but unfortunately, I cannot, as I live in a Level 5 urban area. Li Jie originally felt very wronged. Chen Shang, Jiang Xi, and even Chen Shang's sister are worried that his kindness might lead to his downfall. Isn't this concern a bit lacking in understanding? It is true that Li Jie is happy to help his friends, but he has never forgotten his mother's teachings—one should not harbor ill intentions towards others, yet one must always be vigilant against potential harm.
Isn't that quite a bit of male chauvinism? The girl loosened the sliding buckle, wrapped her arms tightly around Li Jie’s waist and neck, and asked him with a hint of concern: "Is it okay? It needs to slide for quite a while."
A length of rope, a path, with each end of the rope reaching the rooftop, each destination differing, and the zip lines changed along the way.
Upon entering, the door behind them was locked. The young girl led him through groups of men and women, and then they descended another flight of stairs, where a group of people inside regarded them with cold expressions
Is it necessary to be twenty-eight years old to obtain a marriage certificate? There are indeed many matters in a Level 5 city... The girl appeared very disappointed, her smile had vanished from her face
"I don't know." The girl did not turn her head, firmly denying it.
What is this? This is a kind-hearted person who is willing to help! Who says that the girl near the level 8 city wall is a bad person? Li Jie was just about to express his gratitude when the girl immediately added: "However, you have to take me to the district where you live to have some fun."
What are you doing! The girl suddenly changed her expression, shouting fiercely and impatiently.
Before that group of people could push their way over, the line had reached them. The young girl fastened the sliding buckle and urged Li Jie to set off. "We are almost there"
A group of men and women around them, upon witnessing this, displayed knowing smiles on their faces, while their gazes were laced with unabashed mockery.
How many places are connected
The girl smiled brightly and casually pointed, saying: "That thing?"
Are we almost there
... not to mention anything else, just talking about where to obtain a marriage certificate now at hetushu.com. Moreover, I am not yet twenty-eight years old. Li Jie couldn't bring himself to say anything discouraging to her, even though this beauty looked great, but... such a far-fetched motive for getting a marriage certificate, he, he might be able to accept it
Li Jie was astonished to see that, ahead of the rope on the side, someone was swiftly approaching head-on, but there were also people passing by in the same direction next to them
"Which subway station is this?" Li Jie secretly felt suspicious; this was definitely not the subway station he had come from. However, could it be another subway station?
Li Jie looked at the girl in shock, staring blankly as she excitedly tugged at her hair, listening to her uttering words of frustration and resentment
As soon as the girl finished speaking, Li Jie suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm.
A young man lazily stood up next to Li Jie, shook his head, and gestured for him to sit down
Li Jie saw that not far from them, the roadside sign had been defaced with a chaotic graffiti, or perhaps it was an abstract piece of art; in any case, he could not distinguish between the two, so it made no difference. "Why ruin public facilities like this? Isn't it just a waste of time?"
The speed was too fast; in the blink of an eye, two figures swiftly slid past each other! It was not until they were almost about to collide that both individuals suddenly withdrew their hands together, propelled by inertia to the side, and ultimately tumbled down onto the rooftops of two buildings.
At the end of the rope, or on the roof, there are many people, and they are writhing in a crowded manner, forming a spiraling and winding queue.
In the world of darkness, there exists such a transportation network established in the sky above the city, something that Li Jie could never have imagined in the past
Li Jie turned back to look again, quite certain that they were indeed calling for a young girl, who appeared to be of a similar age.
Li Jie turned around and saw several people looking this way, making a concerted effort to squeeze through the crowd. When he turned back, a girl was still shouting and gesturing: "Hey, Red Xiao, yes, you, Red Xiao!"
