Chapter 44: Platinum Hotel

Ten minutes after Link left the alley, a van stopped at the entrance of the alley.

Four security guards in black suits and sunglasses, as well as two professionals in white protective suits, got out of the car.

Two security guards cordoned off at the entrance of the alley, and then stood by the side guards with serious expressions.

Other security personnel and professionals entered the alley and came to the dead female mutant for the first time.

After the inspection, the professional took off the mask and said, "It is completely dead."

One of the security guards patrolled the scene, followed the blood trail to the corpse from the alley where the battle started: "After the on-site survey, it can be confirmed that the No. 777 experiment has not activated the ability at present, and the physical fitness is consistent with the data. Nothing unusual. Just…”

"Just what?"

"It's just that his fighting style is a bit strange. At that time, the mutant still had 85% fighting power. Why did he dare to run directly from behind the cover? This is illogical."

"It is recommended to continue to observe! By the way, what's the situation with mutants?"

"Apart from the absence of a head, the body is still intact. The death time is not long, and the cell activity has not completely dissipated. There is still value for research and resurrection."

"A fire mutant corpse is very valuable."

Soon, people in black clothes and work uniforms came out of the alley, and also brought out a mysterious black bag and quickly loaded the car.

The van swiftly departed from the starting point as if nothing had happened.

Passers-by glanced at it and could see a large line of words - United Pharmaceuticals, printed on the outer shell of the van.

Passers-by have long been accustomed to this.

The company's vans will always appear in various places, mysteriously.

...

The ghost fire V8 returned to the location where it appeared just last night - the side of the main road in front of Shadow Alley.

When I came to Shadow Alley again, I recalled what happened last night, like a dream.

"Boss, should I go in too?" Ah Fu asked while holding the glamorous head.

Link beckoned and motioned for Ah Fu to come in together.

Although it is noon now, the news of the turmoil of the Jack Gang should have already spread.

At this time, it is definitely not a wise choice to let Ah Fu sit in the car with the Jack Gang logo alone.

Link and Alfred entered the underground black market with ease.

When passing the dance floor, Link found that there were a lot of graceful dancers, winking at him and twisting their waists, exuding charm.

So real.

When I didn't take the gene repair solution before, I didn't even get a single attention.

Now in the blink of an eye, you will be the brightest star on the dance floor.

Link shook his head helplessly, if he was like this in the future, how could he hide in the crowd.

"Alas, the damn charm."

Link and Alfred enter the subway station.

This time, the two did not act separately, and walked straight inside.

Some people must find it strange, didn't they agree to go to the Platinum Hotel? Why did Link come to the underground black market in a blink of an eye?

In fact, the Platinum Hotel in Shadu is located in the deepest part of the underground black market.

Even before the underground black market existed.

The Platinum Hotel has strict rules and provides quite high-level customized services, but it can only be traded through the Omniscient Coin in circulation. This high-end service provides considerable convenience and enhancement to the killers and bounty hunters who perform tasks.

However, there are always a few killers who can enjoy this high-end service, so some businessmen with a keen sense of smell began to set up stalls outside the Platinum Hotel, providing various services and selling various equipment and materials.

Although it is not as high-end and atmospheric as the Platinum Hotel, it meets the needs of most killers and bounty hunters.

With the operation of the market, it has also attracted a large number of other buyers.

Purchase demand + business opportunity = prosperous market.

So the person in charge of the Shadu Platinum Hotel saw the business opportunity and started to formulate rules to integrate these fragmented markets, and gradually formed the third largest force in Shadu - the underground black market.

The rules of the underground black market evolved from the Platinum Hotel, so there are similarities in many places.

For example, for those who engage in conflict, they will be permanently expelled.

If other places introduce a similar regulation, it will definitely be laughable and generous.

However, the underground black market followed the rules of the Platinum Hotel, but no one felt that it violated the rules.

First of all, the underground black market and the Sandu Platinum Hotel are both in charge of the same person.

Second, don't underestimate the power of 'rules'. It has been more than 20 years since the establishment of the underground black market. During this period, there are many strong people who disdain the rules and make troubles in the underground black market or the Platinum Hotel.

But in the end, without exception, they were killed.

Rules are rules, and those who break will pay the price.

This is a phrase most often heard inside the Platinum Hotel.

Link and Alfred enter the black market.

At noon, many merchants have already started operations, but during the day there are only sparse customers. After 6 pm, customers will gradually enter the underground black market to reveal the 'nightlife' of Shadu.

This time is mostly when businesses gather together in twos and threes, move a pony, pour a cup of tea, discuss the latest hot spots in Shadu, or gossip, and it is easy to get through the boring time of the afternoon.

"Have you heard recently that when the Wasteland Gang in the desert was excavating ancient ruins, they accidentally angered the underground gods, and directly set off a quicksand, drowning all the mercenaries and slaves on the spot."

"I see, it's unbelievable to believe in this mystical thing! What I heard is not like that at all."

"Oh? Then tell me what's going on?"

The old man wearing the vest and sandals leaned forward slightly and deliberately lowered his voice: "The news I got is that the Wasteland Gang is currently researching a new technology, quietly doing research underground. As for the excavation of ancient ruins in the desert, all are Pretend! The quicksand happened, I heard that the underground research institute created a superhuman, who overturned the entire research institute alone."

"So the ancient ruins will sink, everyone will die, only the superhuman escaped and took the experimental data with him."

The person next to him waved his hand with a look of disbelief: "Che, is it as mysterious as you said!"

The old man's eyes were as big as copper bells, and his face was serious: "Don't believe it, kid. You can find someone you know and go to the Platinum Hotel to find out if the Wasteland Gang has offered a reward in the Platinum Hotel, 30,000 Wasteland Coins. A reward for a slave! When have you ever seen Wasteland Coins pay a reward for a slave, this slave is clearly the one who reformed, and he has experimental data in his hands, so that doesn't explain the problem!"

The old man's words are prudent, and there are facts to support them.

After a while, someone beside me exclaimed: "I just sent a message to my friend and asked him to check the reward offered by the Platinum Hotel, and there really is this reward!"

The old man fanned the palm fan, enjoying the admiration and admiration of the young people around him, and a faint pretending smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Link and Ah Fu stood not far away, holding back their smiles, watching the old man instruct Jiangshan to pretend to be coercive.

"Okay, let's go."

Link greeted Al Fu to leave.

He didn't expect the wasteland gang's bounty to reach Sandu so quickly.

But isn't the 30,000 yuan bounty too little, is he so worthless?

Ah Fu approached Link and said in a low voice, "Boss, is that the old man talking about you? Also, we are wanted by the Wasteland Gang now, what should we do!"

Ah Fu is naturally afraid of the Wasteland Gang.

His homeland and clansmen disappeared because of the Wasteland Gang, and the three words Wasteland Gang in the desert represent the supreme sky and irresistible.

Link patted Ah Fu on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid. It's me who is wanted by the Wasteland Gang, and they don't know the news of your escape. Now that I have changed my face, I won't recognize me even if I stand in front of them. Rest assured, You should be fine."

Afu thought about it too.

Looking at the boss up and down, he is now dressed in a suit and looks like a gentleman, who has nothing to do with the slaves of the Wasteland Gang.

Link and Alfred walked past the subway station to the largest exchange square.

More than half of the stores here have not yet opened, and the opened merchants are deserted.

Most of the people gathered together on stools, or lit a cigarette and leaned against the wall to chat.

The two passed by along the way, and could hear a lot of miscellaneous news.

Because it was a gossip and anecdote, it was very attractive at first glance, so Link and Alfred unconsciously slowed down.

"Have you heard of it, the Mechanic's Religion is not doing well recently!"

When the people around heard the Mechanic Sect, the expressions on their faces suddenly became extremely wonderful, and they all came over with small stools.

Everyone hates Mechanicism, and their melons are naturally delicious.

"What's the matter, tell me now?"

"I also heard someone say last night that a gerbil appeared in the Gobi, gnawing on Gobi plants and everything that can be eaten, and when it found a threat, it would turn into sand and disappear without a trace, listen. It is said that the Mechanicum fanatics on the Gobi are a headache for this."

"Yeah! There are also mice that can turn into sand, which is quite rare."

"That's not true! But since the day of reckoning, there have been a lot of strange animals in the wild. You haven't seen a new batch of beasts in the Colosseum recently, there are many mutant beasts."

"Really? You can go to the Colosseum to play that night. I just made a small profit recently, and my hands are a little itchy."

When Ah Fu heard the mouse that turned into sand, his eyes lit up.

"Boss, the mouse that turned into sand, isn't it..."

It's just that Link's mouth was gagged before he could finish speaking.

Of course he heard it was a gerbil.

I just didn't expect this little guy to go to harm the Mechanic God.

It's really a mistake...

Link continued to walk forward. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, the news flow in the underground black market was quite fast. After walking a few steps, he heard several familiar things.

It's just these gossips and rumors, half-truths.

If it weren't for him being a witness, I'm afraid he would have believed all of them like these melon eaters.

The further you go, the fewer people gather, and the stalls gradually become less prosperous.

Link could already see the exposed top of the Platinum Hotel in the distance.

There are also many people gathered next to the shop stalls here, but it can be seen from the breath and dress on the body that they are not business people, but more like bounty hunters and killers.

Unlike the killers in the Platinum Hotel, the level of these killers and bounty hunters is not high enough to enter the hotel.

Or to put it more simply, they are not recommended by members, and they do not have omniscient gold coins.

I can only pick up wild jobs at the door of the Platinum Hotel, and inquire about news by the way.

Before Link got close, he heard a reckless man vomiting bitterly.

"Let me tell you, I almost can't come back from this trip! If you go to the south to do tasks in the future, don't go to Wind Howl Castle again."

"Why? I passed by the castle last month, what's the matter?"

"There are oddities in the castle!"

"Anyway, you don't want to die, so don't settle down there next time."

After the reckless man said, thinking of what he experienced, he couldn't help but shudder.

Link and Ah Fu passed a few people and smiled at each other.

"A'Fu, after you enter the hotel later, you can find a seat in the lobby, don't run around, don't move around, you know?"

A Fu nodded again and again, "Don't worry, boss, I will not cause trouble..."

It's just that before the words were finished, A Fu followed Link into the hotel, and was immediately speechless by the magnificent style in front of him.

P.S: There should be another chapter at 4:00 in the morning, but you don't have to wait, let's watch it when you get up tomorrow~ It's customary to ask for a recommendation ticket!
