Chapter 496 Is It Fun? Can You Play? Never Played It?

There is no subway on Yongquan Island. This is very unfortunate news...

But they still have to go to the Dead Sea area.

Not that they really wanted to take a dip in salt water. But according to the information they received, the main industry occupied by the "Fuji Society" branch of Yongquan Island is tourism.

The real core business of Yongquan Island is outside the island - monopolizing the world's fishing industry can only be regarded as a drizzle.

Undersea resources such as manganese nodules, deep-sea oil and gas, and hydrothermal deposits...including various types of coal, oil, and natural gas on the ground, as well as heavy metal resources including gold and uranium. As the only island with a giant dragon sitting on it, they naturally had the fattest piece of cake.

Because of this, Yongquan Island does not need any particularly developed unique technology, nor does it need to specifically monopolize any industry... because they have already monopolized the most important thing in the world.

That's resources -

Not just “energy” but “resources”. They also provide all the daily needs of the other six empty islands.

It is precisely because of this that the life "inside" of Yongquan Island is so comfortable... The living atmosphere here is obviously different from other islands, and there is no sense of "hurry" at all. It's more like a marine paradise, or a place for retirement.

People on the road showed an obvious carefree and relaxed look on their faces.

Even on a weekday evening like Tuesday, there were many "salamfish" chasing and laughing in the river.

These children with fish heads or bodies swam noisily, stirring up waves of white water, or directly scooping up puffs of water with their hands, and sprinkled it on their companions, or directly splashed it on people walking on the road. of "passers-by".

If it were on other empty islands, people would definitely be angry if they were splashed with water for no reason... But the residents of Yongquan Island were not angry at all, and had no idea of ​​​​evading at all. On the contrary, they happily took the water and even happily said "Thank you" to the children. Then he watched the waves fall in the warm evening light and break into countless ripples of gold.

...If you think about it carefully, this is actually quite reasonable.

Because whether they are on the street or in the river, these people are very standard "aquatic species".

They may have scales, fins, whiskers, or tails. For them, water is not a dangerous thing that needs to be avoided, but an intimate necessity in life.

There are a very large number of people with severe paraphilia who look completely different from humans. At a glance, the proportion is even more than 30%. In other words, one out of every three people has a completely different appearance from human beings... The bad ones even caught real "mermaids" swimming through the river with their sharp eyes.

And among those who have not separated from human appearance and only have some spiritual characteristics, all of them are aquatic products without exception.

In Happy Island, the proportion of patients with severe psychosis is only 1.5%. And those who are willing to go out and show off are far less than this proportion.

"……Did you discover it?"

The bad guy didn't speak, but made a metallic sound from his throat: "The cats and dogs that can be seen everywhere can't be seen here at all..."

"They are all aquatic products...with very few exceptions, they all seem to be tourists." Hangsha looked around calmly, taking in the beautiful night scene.

"No wonder. They can recognize us at a glance as passengers from other empty islands." The inferior responded.

"In other words, if we want to do something bad, it will be easy to be discovered." Strangler narrowed his eyes, subconsciously remembering the path he had taken and preparing for his escape when the time came.

But to be honest, he didn't think he could escape here.

The roads here are all rivers... It can be said to be difficult for people who can't swim, or who swim too slowly.

"Not necessarily..."

The inferior one looked up at the streets and alleys, pursed his lips tightly and showed a serious expression: "Didn't you notice that it is different from the biggest one on other empty islands?"

"What?"

"Cameras, stupid lion. We've been walking for almost half an hour, and I've only seen one set of cameras."

"Are you sure you didn't notice it?"

"Impossible. Street view cameras can't be installed just anywhere...Don't think of this as a body-worn pinhole camera used by detectives. It's high enough, and the angle covers as wide a range as possible. There must be a place to route wires. I have checked all possible places for surveillance, but I only saw one set of cameras...

"If we follow the style of Happy Island, there should be fifty or sixty of them along the way. At least."

"In other words, there are many surveillance blind spots here?"

"It's also very suitable for killing people..."

The inferior replied softly.

While they were talking, they arrived at the rapid transit facility called "Waterway".

The expressions of the inferior ones became visibly ugly to the naked eye.

I saw that the so-called "water channel" was just a huge magnetized water pipe - it was probably thick enough to fill the "ground iron" directly into it.

Inside, there were many people wrapped in transparent bubbles, speeding past inside.

They all held a horizontal bar in their hands and sat comfortably in the bubble...even looking a little bored. Look at the empty eyes that are obviously distracted, as if looking at something in front of you.

But when the inferior ones looked at that thing, they only felt that their faces turned blue, cold sweat broke out on their backs, and their scalps were numb.

That thing is like the balance pole you hold when crossing a single-plank bridge. It just held up the tough bubble, gliding at high speed in the waterway like rushing through a rapid.

And when some people are about to arrive here, their bubbles will suddenly start filling with water.

As water flows into the bubbles, their bubbles begin to sink and their positions begin to sink. And just when they arrived at this station, the bubble happened to change course and entered the branch road.

It's like a vending machine filled with round candies or a gashapon machine - just put in a coin and one will fall out.

Before the water in the bubble was even half full, they rolled down the side passage. When the bubble fell into the pond, it burst by itself. These passengers put the poles in their hands into a pole recycling box next to them.

"I feel like I could easily choke if I'm not careful..."

Strangulation asked with concern: "I can swim, but are you okay?"

It's just that there is a bit of encouragement in these slow words.

"...Okay. Isn't it just the rapids... What is the rapids? That amusement park project. I have played it before."

The inferior bit his back molars hard, as if chewing lion meat.

"Really? Have you really played it? Then you didn't know you could be so seasick?"

Strangled Yin and Yang asked angrily.

"I've played in Transcendence, but it's not a big problem... But you, can you pay with a chip?"

The inferior said, and paid for the waterway "from Lake Michigan to the Dead Sea" through his mind. He took a pole from an old man with a fish head next to him.

It was very cheap, just for a credit - about one-twentieth the price of their accommodation and one-half the price of breakfast for one person.

This is probably the way ordinary social animals travel, the inferior thought to himself.

He looked back at Strangler and laughed. The "kind" person sent a reminder: "Why don't seniors teach you how to conduct transactions with people by paying? A friendly reminder, you need to turn on the 'regional service'..."

"Of course I know." Hangzhou had a straight face, still speaking harshly.

"——Is it fun? Can you play it? Have you never played before? Hahahaha..."

Learning from the lines that Russell had said to him before and that he had memorized for a long time...feeling that one day he would have the opportunity to say these words, the bad guy suddenly let out a happy and proud laugh.
