After lunch, Shao Zifeng greeted his mother Shao and walked out of the house under Qiqi's earnest eyes.
Shao's mother is also used to him running out after eating, and he doesn't care too much about his safety.
When I walked to the intersection, I waved to a "one yuan", the so-called "one yuan" is a van that has both the functions of a bus and a taxi.
Longcheng County has neither planned bus routes nor regular taxi companies. Because these two types of vehicles are functional vehicles, they occasionally have to run to the outer ring. Therefore, it is stipulated that functional vehicles must have a certain ability to defend against attacks by mutant creatures. The price of the car is high.
Longcheng County is located in the inland, with a small population and a well-known poverty-stricken county. Therefore, no formal company is willing to come here to open bus lines and taxi services. It may cost a lot of money and it will not be able to recover the cost for more than ten years.
In order to solve people's travel needs, this kind of "one-dollar" using vans as a carrier came into being and is very popular.
The silver-white van stopped, and the driver stuck his head out of the window.
The driver is a fine middle-aged man with dark skin, a slender face and sunglasses, a gold chain that is worn and faded around his neck, and a mouth of ragged yellow teeth that is very eye-catching.
"Yo, handsome guy is so handsome." Da Huang Ya waited for Shao Zifeng to get into the car, then pulled down his glasses to reveal a pair of small eyes.
Shao Zifeng fastened his seat belt and looked up at the man: "Yes, you don't often stay at home, you still don't know the people in this city."
The driver put on his glasses again, and started the car with a smug smile on his face: "I don't dare to brag about anything else, but in this one-third of an acre of Longcheng, there are no people and things I don't know about."
It's just that he is too thin, and when he smiles, the folds at the corners of his eyes are about to reach his cheeks.
"Since my brother said so, and I haven't come back for so long, there is nothing new in our Longcheng." Shao Zifeng thought Xiao Jiujiu.
"That's it." The thin monkey driver pondered for a while: "With so many things happening every day, what does the handsome guy want to hear?"
"I'm more interested in strange anecdotes. My brother is well-informed, tell me?" Shao Zifeng didn't hide it, and directly stated his thoughts.
"Damn, then this is too much. There are many anecdotes in our Dragon City. It is said that when the ancient city was built, the Huolong clan came here to look for the dragon. The Huolong clan knows it, it's for the Yellow Emperor" mentioning the driver It's exciting. He drives his car to and fro every day. Occasionally, when there are strangers, he pulls out these rumors of Longcheng and tells it again. It can be said that he can't recite his ID number as easily as this story.
Shao Zifeng rolled his eyes, he grew up here, and he didn't hear the rumors about the old sesame seeds and rotten millet in Longcheng, so he hurriedly interrupted: "Hey, brother, I'm also from Longcheng County, just I rarely come back in the past two years, and I want to hear if there are any new anecdotes."
"That's it." The driver didn't have any unpleasant emotions, and frowned Chen Si while driving.
After a while, he said: "I really remember one thing, I heard that something strange happened in the west of the city, that is, where you got in the car, handsome guy, there was a lonely old man who died at home, and his body was smelly before being arrested. Find."
Speaking of the driver, he paused, as if he was thinking about how to polish it up to be called an anecdote, and then continued: "The street management office received news, and after breaking the door, tsk, it's a miserable, the old man was covered in mutant creatures. The gnawing is bloody."
"Because the cause of death was uncertain and the corpse was devoured, the alien management agency also intervened. Unfortunately, after a few days of investigation, nothing was found. The old man had no children and no children, and finally the street management office paid for his cremation and burial. I thought it was over like this, but I never thought that strange things would continue since then.”
Shao Zifeng listened intently, for fear of missing any important clues.
crunch.
The sound of tires rubbing against the ground sounded, and a huge thrust came. Shao Zifeng's body was instantly pushed forward, and after reaching the limit, he was pulled back by the seat belt, and his back slammed into the seat.
He was vigilant and hurriedly looked around.
I saw an old-fashioned building outside the car window with four dark red characters on it.
Department Store.
"Handsome guy, here we are."
The originally serious driver instantly switched to a smiling face, turned his head and stretched out a hand with a smile: "Scan the code or cash."
Standing beside the department store, Shao Zifeng shook his head as he watched the van leaving.
What is this all about.
…
Longcheng County Department Store stands above People's Square. This five-storey building was once the pride of Longcheng people.
It's a pity that after decades, this old-fashioned and dirty-looking department store has gradually been forgotten, and many young people don't even know there is such a place.
Opening the door curtain covered with black grease, Shao Zifeng walked in.
The first impression of entering the department store is that it is short, not that the building is short, but that the ceiling on the first floor is relatively short.
Not to mention that compared with those modern shopping malls, the average home suite is also higher than here.
The door curtains covered with oil were closed, and the whole space seemed to be isolated from the outside world. The lights in the department store were dim, and many counters were unmanned and covered with dust. Only a few were still open, and the tellers were bored playing with their mobile phones.
Because the time was tight, Shao Zifeng didn't have time to hang out, so he went straight to the deepest elevator.
"squeak"
Pressing the switch, the elevator door, which was covered with small advertisements and mottled rust, made a harsh rubbing sound, and laboriously retreated to one side. Shao Zifeng was afraid that the door would get stuck halfway through the retreat.
Looking inside, this is a single-door freight elevator, and the space is much larger than half of the elevator. A ceiling lamp with a lampshade was in poor contact, making squeaking noises from time to time, and the already dim light bulb was covered with a layer of black oil, making it even more dim.
The elevator door closed slowly with a rubbing sound, and the light source outside was lost. The lights in the elevator were basically negligible. The small advertisements and mobile phone numbers stacked on the surrounding walls looked like ghosts in such an environment.
Squeak.
The sound of the rusted gears turning came, Shao Zifeng felt a momentary sense of weightlessness, and the elevator began to sway slowly upwards.
Shao Zifeng said with a heart in his throat, this elevator is too unreliable.
The dull sound of gear friction and chain collision was infinitely amplified in this small and silent space.
Shao Zifeng took a deep breath.
Luo Feng, it shouldn't hurt me, right
After a long wait, the elevator finally stopped on the fifth floor. Shao Zifeng stepped out of the elevator, only to find that the entire fifth floor was dark except for a light on the elevator door.
The elevator door closed again, and the sound of friction echoed on the fifth floor.
Listening to the echoes in his ears, Shao Zifeng was basically certain that the entire fifth floor should be empty.
I looked at the time, there are still six minutes to 2:30, if you wait...
Hmm... that's a little scary.
Shao Zifeng stretched out his hand, and the translucent space crack opened.
