Yun Xiaoxi took a deep breath and calmed down. She didn't continue to explain. Because some things are easy to get worse the more you explain, so she spoke to Shen Qiu.
"I'll arrange a car to take you back."
"No, I'll go back by myself."
Shen Qiu didn't really want to trouble Yun Xiaoxi. Of course, it wasn't that he had any problem with Yun Xiaoxi, but he just felt that it wasn't good to always trouble others too much.
"Well, you should let me arrange a car to take you back, otherwise it might be difficult for you to get back. Clear Sky City is said to be unstable, with overlapping situations from time to time, so the control is very strict. In addition, the Red Alliance has also set up a large number of checkpoints along the way."
Yun Xiaoxi lowered her head slightly, rubbing the ground with her toes, and said to Shen Qiu.
When Shen Qiu heard this, he didn't expect that going back would be so troublesome. He thought for a moment and replied.
"Okay, that's troublesome."
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll arrange it for you right away."
Yun Xiaoxi replied quickly, then picked up her phone, found a phone number, and sent a text message.
Soon she received a feedback message saying that there was no problem.
"It's arranged. The car will be here soon. Please wait a moment."
Yun Xiaoxi raised her head and said to Shen Qiu.
"Um."
Shen Qiu didn't say much.
The two of them just stood there under the street lights at night, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
About ten minutes later, a specially modified black business car drove over and stopped in the waiting area in front of the two people.
Shen Qiu took a quick glance at the car. The glass and doors were bulletproof, and the license plate number was different from that of regular cars in the First Administrative District.
The letters in front stand for KPI, and it is very obvious that this is the exclusive car for the KPI department.
The car window was rolled down, and the driver was an energetic old man who was wearing a well-fitting white shirt and a red bow tie on his collar.
"Dong Bo, please send Shen Qiu back to Clear Sky City."
Yun Xiaoxi said politely.
"No problem, miss."
Dongfu nodded and replied.
"I'm leaving!"
Shen Qiu glanced at Yun Xiaoxi and said goodbye for the last time.
After all, after leaving this time, it will probably be difficult to meet again.
He still has a very good impression of Yun Xiaoxi.
"Um!"
Yun Xiaoxi nodded silently.
"Um!"
Shen Qiu then opened the car door and sat in the back seat.
"goodbye!"
Yun Xiaoxi raised her hand and waved goodbye to Shen Qiu.
Soon the black car drove away very steadily and disappeared into the night.
…
Inside the car, Shen Qiu leaned against the window with his chin on one hand, looking out at the high-tech buildings and the bustling scene outside.
He was also somewhat touched, and he also belonged to the Red Alliance. But the differences between different regions were quite large.
The City of Clear Sky is considered the third largest city in the Red Alliance, but it is completely incomparable to the City of Sunken Stars.
Just then, the black car turned a corner and headed towards the entrance of a four-lane underground passage.
Mechanized troops are deployed to guard the entrance of the passage, and a sign is erected.
“Stop and check!”
At this entrance, there are already long queues on three of the lanes.
Shen Qiu asked curiously.
"here it is?"
"The Red League's special underground expressway was previously closed to the military. But due to the turbulent situation, a lot of traffic has been interrupted, so it is now open. However, the management is quite strict. If you want to use it, you have to go through a series of inspections."
Dongfu said this and turned the car directly into the fourth lane where there were not many people.
The guarding soldier saw the license plate number of the car and immediately opened the roadblock.
The car drove past smoothly.
"Don't we need to check?"
Shen Qiu asked curiously.
"Normally, I would need to ask a little. But today, our department used too many cars, and many of them didn't come back. I drove the deputy minister's special car, which is of a relatively high grade, so it doesn't need to be checked."
Dong Bo replied calmly.
"oh."
Shen Qiu nodded slightly in response.
At this time, the car entered the fast lane. Dong Bo pressed a few buttons and then spoke.
"We are leaving the City of Sunken Stars. We are expected to reach the outskirts of the City of Clear Sky in 13 hours and 11 minutes. You can take a nap first."
"good."
Shen Qiu yawned, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and rested.
As soon as he relaxed, he felt a heavy sense of fatigue and exhaustion. If he guessed correctly, it was because he had spent too much energy suppressing the disqualified one.
So it didn't take long for Shen Qiu to fall asleep.
The next day.
Shen Qiu was awakened by a burst of noisy noise and he opened his eyes slightly.
The dazzling sunlight shone in through the window.
Shen Qiu looked outside and found that the car had left the underground expressway and turned onto the regular highway.
At this time, on the highway ahead, soldiers holding automatic rifles set up a temporary checkpoint with thick armored vehicles.
Many cars were stopped.
Many people got off the bus and were having a heated argument with the defending troops.
However, the specific reason is unclear.
But what Shen Qiu cared about was not the congestion and disputes on the highway, but the residential area in the distance.
There was black smoke billowing everywhere in that residential area and the situation outside looked terrible.
At this time Dongfu seemed to realize that Shen Qiu had woken up, and he spoke.
"We have arrived at the outer residential area of Clear Sky City. We are expected to reach the Ten Ring City Checkpoint in half an hour. If everything goes well, you will be able to have a familiar breakfast soon."
"Well, but are you sure we can jump over the traffic jam ahead?"
Shen Qiu asked curiously.
"Don't worry about that."
Dong Bo said this and turned the steering wheel, turning the car into the emergency lane and speeding past.
When the soldiers on guard saw this, they quickly asked the armored vehicles blocking the emergency road to move out of the way.
"quick!"
"Quick, get out of the way!"
…
At this time, the cars and people in the traffic jam were looking at the black car that was passing by unimpeded. Many people were angry and spat on the ground.
"Pooh!"
Shen Qiu was also somewhat touched. Privileges are such a pleasant thing to have when you use them yourself.
But seeing other people using it is another feeling.
…
Half an hour later, Shen Qiu and his team arrived at the ten-ring checkpoint outside the Clear Sky City!
The situation here is even more exaggerated. Except for the special emergency lane that is kept empty, the other ten lanes are all jammed.
The sound of the horn rose and fell and never stopped.
Shen Qiu looked at so many people who wanted to enter the city, and then remembered Yun Xiaoxi's reminder yesterday.
It seems that the situation in Clear Sky City is not optimistic.
While Shen Qiu was deep in thought, Dong Bo had already driven into the city unimpeded via the emergency lane.
After entering the Clear Sky City, Shen Qiu took a rough look around. Except for a few places where smoke was still coming out, the overall situation was stable. Although there were few pedestrians on the road, it seemed to be in good order.
In addition, Shen Qiu discovered that in the Clear Sky City, there seemed to be more soldiers deployed at various intersections.
