Chapter 1472 Three Musketeers
Churchill punched him from behind: "Didn't you keep your cannon all the time? If you don't want to lose the chain at a critical moment, what you need is not Captain Tang, but a small blue pill."
"You need the little blue pill." Howson was savage, but not stupid, and the irony in Churchill's words could not be heard.
Just as the two people were fighting each other in their daily life, the shuttle slowly drove into Pier 3 of Unit B in the outer area with the help of the guiding beam, and stopped at the dedicated berth for the shuttle on the top floor.
Tang Fang stopped the quarrel between the two, took them out of the cabin, entered the customs inspection station along the nearest landing passage, got on the tram bound for unit B in the outer area after obtaining identity verification, and brought them to the space station with a few other tourists who had just disembarked from the shuttle. Go deep.
Tang Fang looked at the few people who were not afraid of Howson's ferocious gaze, but stared at him coldly. He presumably was soldiers retreating from the front line here to have fun, while the few people on the other side deliberately kept a distance from them. Tourists who travel here.
As the tram moved forward, there were only panting sounds and hostile gazes in the carriage. It was not until Churchill twisted Howson's back that the idiot sneered and withdrew his provocative gaze, dissipating the tense atmosphere in the carriage.
About 8 minutes later, the train arrived at the station and stopped at the entrance of the commercial district, and several people walked off in one file.
The first thing that catches the eye is not the promotional brochure of young girls, but the large-scale advertisements of burgers and pizzas. The colors of vegetable leaves and meat pieces collide, and the flavors of jam and bread are blended, which are clearly conveyed to everyone who has just entered the block through the screen. one's mind.
Whether in the past, the present, or even the future, for ordinary people, the various airliner meals provided during the journey will never be as delicious as the food sold in stores.
Although many people come here for the girl from the Omega space station, but you have to fill your stomach before exercising, right? So the shopkeepers here are still very business-minded.
Those soldiers who retreated from the front line followed the guidance of the billboard to a nearby restaurant. Howson raised his middle finger at their backs, and cursed "FU-CK-YOU!" in a low voice. The tourists who were walking behind the three of them hurried to the side, stayed away from him, and walked quickly to another block, where there were electric bicycle lanes for passengers to choose from.
Tang Fang ignored Howson, and continued walking with the two of them. As he walked, he heard a "cuckoo" sound coming from behind. When he looked back, he found that the idiot was staring at the food advertisements hanging on both sides of the block. card, swallowing mouthful of saliva.
This guy looked down on a few soldiers just now, but he doesn't know that his expression is not as good as those people now.
"Are you hungry?" Tang Fang asked without looking back at the people standing or sitting on the street next to him.
Howson nodded and said very honestly, "I'm hungry."
"Be patient..."
His answer made the two people behind him feel black lines on their foreheads. In any case, they did not expect such an answer in return, and they couldn't help secretly slandering that Captain Tang was widely rumored to have a kind heart, which was simply the most absurd rumor in the world. Have you ever seen a boss who abuses employees on business trips like this? no……
Tang Fang didn't know what kind of psychological activities those two people had, even if he knew, he wouldn't care. The Omega space station is very large, and it seems that the services provided by each unit are different. The three of them walked a long way from the street. This area is mostly restaurants, gourmet partners, cafes and other shops.
"Maybe this is an area similar to the snack street." He thought to himself.
The relevant data sent by Emma confirmed his idea. Unit B in the outer area mainly provides delicious snacks, desserts, and drinks for passengers, as well as a few leisure and entertainment facilities such as a bookstore and a gym.
Knowing such information, he didn't waste time in Area B. He went to the nearby navigation robot to operate it, found the place he wanted to go, took the two of them to turn left, and entered the tram bound for Area A.
The train runs at the top of the tunnel, and below it are maglev vehicles and single-person electric bicycles. At least from this point of view, the Omega space station is not much different from a city.
"Ah, look...it's those guys." Howson said, pointing to the scene below.
Churchill followed his direction and saw that the person driving an electric bicycle on the driving lane below was the tourist who had just entered the Unit B with the three of them.
Tang Fang didn't have the heart to care about the affairs of a few tourists. He looked through the car window and looked at the inner wall of the tunnel with the spiritual mirror system implanted on both sides to nourish his spirit.
Churchill sat down beside him, and whispered, "Did you find Dewey Hansel's whereabouts?"
Tang Fang shook his head: "It's not an easy task, I'm afraid it will take some effort."
Hearing his answer, Churchill asked: "So...we're going to be living here for a while?"
Tang Fang nodded slightly, without saying anything. The Omega space station is very large, and there is no way to obtain information about Dewey Joseph based on the information stored on the public network alone. Only by going to the key nodes in the core area controlled by the military can it be possible to find the information he wants. After all, it is For a confidential mission, even if the transport fleet entered the customs through the normal channel, the records of the military would have been cleared.
The train soon arrived at the platform in Area A, and the three of them walked out of the carriage and set foot on the service block.
Compared with the tourists in District B, the tourists in District A are very different, mainly in that there are few female tourists and many male tourists, and most of them seem tough and vulgar... Well, there is another more prominent feature , Their bodies were filled with the smell of alcohol and smoke.
Area A is non-smoking, and the architectural features are also very simple, mainly in dark tones. Unlike Area B, the decoration style of each store is related in one way or another to the food products it sells.
There are few billboards on both sides of the block, and it can be said that they don't need to advertise at all. The smell of alcohol overflowing from the open door is the best advertisement. Yes, this is a paradise for alcoholics, a place where drunks hang out, and a place where manliness is the strongest --- for women, alcohol can be equated with manliness to a certain extent.
XX Tavern, XX Restaurant, XX Bar, XX Izakaya, XXX Beer House... All kinds of plaques are hung on the storefronts on the left and right sides of the street, releasing the temptation of fine wine to travelers.
Unlike Area B, the environment in Area A is in the early evening when the lights are on. The richness of the wine and the heaviness of the night have always been the most suitable partners.
From the moment he stepped off the tram, Howson turned into a werewolf, looking at things around him with excitement and excitement, as if he had entered heaven...his heaven. Fortunately, Churchill was right next to him, holding his body firmly, so he didn't release the wildness in his bones, but just panting heavily, like a bull.
Before the Minotaur-class battlecruiser arrived in the Cartel star system, the two fell asleep because of overdrinking. Tang Fang simply took Tang Lin and Kudelia to Brady Star and left them on the ship.
This incident made Howson and Churchill very unhappy, accusing each other of drinking. Having experienced the above-mentioned encounters, the two of them came to the Omega space station this time, and the two of them gained a lot of wisdom, and they didn't drink a drop of alcohol during the whole journey. There is no reason for such an alcoholic to be unhappy when he comes to Area A, a place where the air is full of alcohol.
Tang Fang ignored the small movements of the two people behind him. He walked a distance and came to a bar called "Sands of Time" and stood still. He looked back at Howson and Churchill and said, "Have a drink?"
This sentence seemed to contain infinite magic power. Howson was still a savage werewolf one moment, and became a docile chick the next moment. He was very serious and obediently nodded continuously.
Churchill pursed his dry lips. Although he also wanted to go in for a drink, his reason told him that there were more important things to do: "Aren't we going to the core area? If we stop here, I'm afraid..."
Tang Fang shook his head and said in a low voice: "Do you think this place is really free? We were included in the surveillance network the moment we set foot on the Omega space station, so instead of going straight to the goal, we might as well put that thought aside and show our Pursue pleasure like a normal tourist so as not to be spotted by the station's security agency."
Churchill subconsciously looked up at the sky, and followed Tang Fang into the bar.
Amidst the light banging of the waist door, the three of Tang Fang walked into the bar.
The internal environment is very noisy. The smart lift chairs in front of the bar are almost full of people, and the tables below are also full of men and women of different skin colors. Some are already drunk and talking nonsense that no one can understand; Drinking, still very sober; some are rolling up their sleeves and guessing; there are also social elders hugging left and right holding a square cup with the hand holding the cigarette, and gulping down the whiskey with a lot of ice in one gulp.
Howson was originally walking behind Tang Fang, but somehow ran in front of him when he entered the bar, sat down on the seat facing the bartender, and patted the table with his black-haired hands: "Hey, buddy, let's have a drink first." Vodka quenches thirst."
Perhaps for the bartenders working here, it has long been commonplace for guests with similar personalities, but they just raised their eyelids slightly, glanced at the visitor, slipped a small glass in front of Howson, picked up a bottle of vodka and filled it up.
The idiot directly poured a full glass of wine into his mouth, and let out a long "嗞" sound: "So, this kind of stuffy feeling is the best." While speaking, he pushed the glass forward again, The bartender refilled it for him without saying a word.
Tang Fang and Churchill came to Howson and sat down on the left and right.
Churchill looked at the categories on the wine rack, and finally chose the vodka that was exactly the same as the wine in Howson's glass. And Tang Fang ordered a glass of tequila after pondering for a moment.
This made the two of them very puzzled, because the captain has always liked martinis and beer, and the people below have never seen him drink strong alcohol, so today's behavior can be said to be a bit abnormal.
The bartender quickly took out a small round glass with lemon slices embedded in it from under the counter, added a few ice cubes, then slid the tequila from the light blue bottle on his right into the inner wall and pushed it in front of him.
Seeing the puzzled eyes of those two people, Tang Fang glanced at them, picked up the cup and took a sip, then turned the lift chair to face the catwalk in the middle of the dance floor in the hall, where there was a sexy girl in scantily clad clothes. Dancing.
Of course he would not tell those two people that he chose Tequila for a purpose, because most of the people who come to this kind of place are soldiers withdrawn from the front line, or pirates, mercenaries, bad gamblers... In short, they are all For people with low cultural quality, like Howson and Churchill, for them, vodka, liquor, whiskey and so on are the normal choices, and cocktails and fruit wine drinks are generally only ordered by women.
He brought the two of them here to a certain extent to deal with the security monitoring procedures of the Omega space station, so that those people can define them as low-threat passengers. Abnormal situations happen, so rather than being eye-catching, being low-key and restrained is what he pursues.
To some extent, in order not to startle the snake, he made this pursuit meticulous...
Howson and Churchill also turned the chair lift, instead of looking at the shit-like smile of the bartender, they watched the passionate girl on the catwalk like Tang Fang, pouring spirits into their mouths, and uttered a slightly ear-piercing tsk.
When the dancing girl threw the wallet she was wearing into the audience, Howson put his thumb and forefinger in his mouth and blew a loud whistle, which could not be covered by the background music and loud jokes.
Some people cast strange glances at the bar, but most of them were indifferent. It was time to punch, dance, and drink. They seemed to be accustomed to such situations.
But the girl on the stage who kept twisting her limbs blew a kiss to Howson when she turned around. The idiot toasted in return and drank most of the vodka in one gulp.
Tang Fang frowned, looked at the seat next to him, and wanted to stay away from the ram, but after thinking about it for a while, he still didn't move, and just gave him a vicious look.
Howson was very upset about this, and said to Churchill next to him: "I think you are right, he is a person who can't let go... No, or most of the Chinese people are like this guy, it's really boring."
Churchill said with a cold face: "I've never said that before." Then he poured half of the wine in his hand into Howson's mouth, so as not to annoy Captain Tang next to him by saying some outrageous words.
During this process, he carefully scanned the scene on the right with his peripheral vision, and found that Tang Fang didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two of them, at least he escaped a disaster.
The two drank the wine in the glass, turned the seat to face the bartender, and asked him to continue pouring wine.
Tang Fang did not pay attention to what the two were talking about, his eyes were attracted by the scene in the hall.
It wasn't the headlights from the runway girl who almost broke the suspenders, nor was it that a beautiful girl winked at him, but he had a lot of interest in the slobbering big brother not far away, to be precise... yes He has a lot of interest in the two young women beside him.
Of course he was not superficial enough to fall in love with those two women at first sight, his eyes were full of surprise and interest.
Thanks DDYD for the reward.
