Even if I work as a cleaning servant here at Moyin, my life would probably be better than being a lady.
After walking out of the shack, they saw a row of rickshaws waiting outside the door. They took the rickshaws to the villa that Ran Xinyue rented.
"Three-wheeled vehicle, this really makes me miss it."
"Any memories?"
HK416, who was sitting next to Moyin, asked with interest.
"When I was a kid, these human-powered tricycles were quite common on the streets. But in recent years, as bus routes have become more and more comprehensive, these human-powered tricycles have been replaced. I didn't expect to see them again now."
"Hey, gasoline is a scarce resource now. It's hard to see a car running once. The few gas stations around here are all dry, so we can find this job."
The rickshaw driver started talking enthusiastically.
"It's exhausted..."
Moyin didn't continue speaking.
As for fuel, gasoline has been exhausted, and in this era, there is no ability to find any coal resources. Even if we find them, it is difficult to mine them on a large scale.
I'm afraid that Black Hawk City's technological level will degenerate further and further as time goes by.
He didn't know whether Silver Rain City would have the same problem, and the energy issue made him a little worried.
…………
In a luxurious villa, Qi Tianxiong, who was in charge of guarding the city gate, was standing stiffly in front of a long-haired boy who was only sixteen years old.
The boy had light makeup on his face, giving him a seductive look.
The young man in front of him was Luo Zhong, one of the three city lords of Black Hawk City.
Although the expression on the boy's face looked very easy-going, Qi Tianxiong did not dare to relax at all.
It can be said that all the cruel choices in Black Hawk City were decided by this seemingly harmless boy.
Whether it was exchanging human lives for food in the granary, or deliberately sending the old, weak, and sick to build the city walls and forcing them to work themselves to death in order to reduce the burden on Black Hawk City, it was all hidden under this smile.
Speaking of the three city lords, the one he is least good at dealing with is Luo Zhong, the youngest but the most vicious.
But he made a mistake in guarding the city gate, and Luo Zhong asked to see him, so he had to come.
"Captain Qi, sit down."
Luo Zhong smiled and pointed to the sofa behind Qi Tianxiong.
"I dare not. I am a criminal. I will just stand here and listen to you."
"I asked you to sit down."
A cold smile appeared on Luo Zhong's face.
"Yes, it is!"
Qi Tianxiong sat stiffly on the sofa, feeling as uneasy as a frog being stared at by a poisonous snake.
"Captain Qi, don't worry so much. I just came to ask you about the group of people you let into the city this morning."
"Okay, if you ask, I'll tell you everything I know, but I didn't spend much time with that man, and he went into the city on his own."
"It's okay. You will know more. I plan to give you a task."
Luo Zhong took out a suitcase, pushed it in front of Qi Tianxiong, and gestured to Qi Tianxiong to open it.
Qi Tianxiong obediently opened the suitcase, and rows of neatly arranged red 100-jin food coupons appeared in front of him.
"This is 100,000 jin of food coupons, the funds for this mission. If you can successfully complete the task I assigned, I will allocate a sum of money to form the Sixth Mobile Force, and you will be the captain."
The charming young man said in a casual manner, but Qi Tianxiong did not dare to relax at all. The bigger the reward, the more dangerous the task would be. He was afraid that he would earn money but not spend it.
"Third City Lord, if you have a task for me, I will certainly do my best to complete it. You don't have to promise me any reward."
Qi Tianxiong spoke.
"Haha, I believe that rewards are the motivation for people to do things. I will go find the man you let into the city today and give him a gift for entering the city in my name."
"Whether it's slaves, ammunition, women, or alcohol, prepare all the gifts he's interested in. Use the money to become his friend, and then report his intelligence to me."
"Okay, okay, I will definitely complete the task."
Qi Tianxiong nodded stiffly.
"Sofa, is it still comfortable?"
Luo Zhong asked abruptly.
"It's quite comfortable, and the leather is very smooth. This set of furniture must be a rare treasure. Is it made of deerskin?"
Qi Tianxiong replied respectfully.
"It's not that rare. I made it myself. Do you remember Huo Ben?"
"Of course I remember. How could I forget the traitors in our Black Hawk City who betrayed us and provided protection for those vagrant survivors?"
Qi Tianxiong replied immediately.
"Well, how does it feel to sit on him?"
Luo Zhong showed an evil smile.
"Sit on him...?"
Qi Tianxiong didn't react for a moment, but then a chill rose from the soles of his feet and rushed straight to his forehead.
I sat on a human leather sofa!!!
"I don't think you want to become a piece of furniture in my house with your family? You should know the consequences of betrayal. No one can escape my swift eagle."
"I will definitely not let you down!!!"
Qi Tianxiong shouted in shock and anger.
He didn't expect Luo Zhong's methods to be so cruel that he would directly threaten him with his own family.
"Go ahead. I believe you can do it. I won't ask you how you spend these food coupons. I only care about the results. You can also use them to enjoy the pleasure of being a rich man with that gentleman. I'll give you a month."
Luo Zhong waved his hand.
Qi Tianxiong left Luo Zhong's residence carrying a box.
Chapter 216: Power Diversion and Believers
After leaving the mansion, Qi Tianxiong turned directly into a nearby bar.
"A glass of whiskey."
The bartender, who was scantily clad and heavily made-up, skillfully poured a glass of whiskey and pushed it in front of Qi Tianxiong. Qi Tianxiong tilted his head back and poured the hot liquor into his stomach.
He was not enjoying it, but was so frightened that he had to resort to alcohol to numb his tense nerves.
Otherwise, the pressure Luo Zhong brings to him will make him vomit everything in his stomach.
On the other hand, he had to adjust his mindset quickly and not let Moyin see his purpose.
Although the murderous aura on Moyin was as frightening as living in a pile of corpses, he was more afraid of Luo Zhong than the degree of fear.
If he was killed by Moyin, he would die without even having time to feel the pain. But if the mission failed and Luo Zhong came, he and his wife and daughter would be skinned alive. The thought of that kind of pain made him feel cold all over.
No matter what, I must find the whereabouts of Moyin who entered the city at noon today within a month and become Moyin's friend.
Moyin gave him the feeling of a superior who was indifferent to life, while Luo Zhong was a complete lunatic with a dagger hidden behind his smile.
Having said that... can you really make friends with someone who has slaughtered at least a hundred people so easily? Qi Tianxiong couldn't help but feel a little worried.
However, apart from Moyin and others, the aura of the middle-aged woman was not very strong. He had met her a few times before. He would go to the group of women soliciting customers at the city gate to ask them, and perhaps he could find her whereabouts.
…………
The rickshaw team stopped in front of a three-story villa. After giving each rickshaw driver a one-pound food coupon, Ran Xinyue hurriedly took the key to open the door of the villa and ran in with her daughter on her back.
“The environment is pretty good.”
Moyin looked around the entire villa. It not only had a small garden, but also a small open-air swimming pool.
It’s a pity that it’s already winter and swimming is basically impossible. Otherwise, you might be lucky enough to see the agents in swimsuits.
"Master, are you interested in winter swimming?"
The agent next to Moyin suddenly asked.
"Ah??? No, I just wanted to see you swimming... ahem, it's nothing, please don't mind it."
Moyin said with a fever on his face, and accidentally said the truth in his heart.
"Swimsuit, if you want to see it, I'll go buy you one right now."
HK416 said shyly, blushing.
"No...it's too cold anyway. You don't have to dress up for me."
"Ala, Commander, you seem to have forgotten what my true form is. As an aircraft carrier, I can be in the water 365 days a year. Even the temperature in a place like the Arctic is no problem for me."
"Let's go pick out a swimsuit you like tomorrow!"
Huang happily took Moyin's arm.
"Of course, as a maid, I should satisfy my master's interests and hobbies. This kind of weather will not affect my performance."
The agent replied in a stern voice.
"Hiss... Wearing a swimsuit in this weather... You guys are too crazy. Let me make it clear in advance that I won't change into a swimsuit..."
No. 78 shook her head like a rattle. As a cursed child, her body was quite sensitive to temperature. Even though she was obsessed with Moyin, she couldn't wear a swimsuit and go swimming in this winter.
"Of course, of course. I won't force you to wear a swimsuit. Rather, I don't want you to wear swimsuits in this kind of weather. I just want to see it in my heart. After all, you are all super cute."
"Wow, Commander, you are really a man who is loyal to your own desires. You are just like a dog who likes bones. You are so cute."
RPK16 said happily.
"So I never knew whether you were praising me or insulting me... You actually said I was like a dog."
Moyin looked at RPK16 with a dark face.
"I'm praising you. I'm praising you for being honest. You have to learn to distinguish."
