Chapter 100 Fog
Chen Ling went to other factories again.
The situation of other factories was similar to that of the steel mill. They were basically in a state of suspension and could not operate. Chen Ling did not waste any more time, but went directly back to the entrance of the factory to report the matter to Han Meng.
"You haven't left yet?" Chen Ling was surprised to see that the man pulling the rickshaw was still waiting for him.
"Since you have come all the way here, you must go back..." The man grinned, "Instead of running back with an empty car, I might as well wait for you here and make a little money by the way."
It must be said that this man is still very smart. Seeing this, Chen Ling was not polite and got on the rickshaw directly. After paying the money, the man dragged him back quickly.
"Sir, I heard that many people in the factory area have lost their jobs?"
"It's just a temporary suspension."
"It's fine, why do you want to stop working?"
"I don't know."
"So many people have lost their jobs, they won't all come to pull rickshaws, right?" The man joked, "It's not easy for me to earn a few dollars, it's not okay for everyone to come and rob me..."
Chen Ling didn't answer, because in the final analysis, it was caused by the actions of Aurora City. He didn't know what those people in the city were thinking.
Seeing that Chen Ling didn't want to say more, the man didn't ask more and naturally changed the topic.
"My wife works in the textile factory. She has worked there for more than 20 years. She stares at the needles and threads every day, and her eyes are almost blind... It's better to stop working. Then she can stay at home and take care of the children. With my physique, I can run a few more times a day to support them."
The man grinned, and sweat oozed out of his dark skin, mixed with the mist, clinging his thin clothes to his body.
Chen Ling glanced at him, as if thinking of something, lowered his head to look at his fingertips, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Is the fog getting heavier?" Chen Ling suddenly spoke.
"Yes, it was still misty in the morning, but now I can hardly see the road... It's wet everywhere, uncomfortable." The man wiped his face with a towel and complained.
Chen Ling's brows gradually frowned.
"Faster." Chen Ling urged.
"Sir, I'm also very tired of dragging the car, this is already the fastest..."
"Give you another twenty copper coins."
"Okay, sir!"
The man was refreshed, took a deep breath, and began to run with his legs dragging the rickshaw, almost using all his strength!
The rickshaw passed through the thick fog and traveled through the streets. Not long after, the familiar glazed dome gradually enlarged in Chen Ling's field of vision... It was the headquarters of the law enforcers in District 3, and it was also the destination Chen Ling was going to.
Before the rickshaw stopped, Chen Ling jumped down from it and pushed open the door of the headquarters amid the man's heavy breathing.
In the empty hall, two figures wearing black windbreakers were standing under the glass dome, looking up at the foggy outside world with a serious expression.
They heard Chen Ling push the door open and turned their heads at the same time.
"Did you get anything?" Han Meng asked.
"It was Aurora City." Chen Ling repeated the words of the heads of several factories truthfully, "Aurora City transferred all the raw materials and finished products, the entire factory area was shut down, and even the factory directors were transferred back..."
Han Meng didn't seem too surprised by this answer. After thinking for a while, he nodded:
"The control of the entire factory area is in the hands of Aurora City. If they don't nod, the factory dare not stop working... I have sent an inquiry to Aurora City, but there is no reply yet."
"Is there something wrong?" Chen Ling asked solemnly, "This fog... seems a little "" "You noticed." "Rainstorm, heavy snow, and two sky phenomena caused the intercourse of the gray world ... Today's fog is too sudden, it is difficult to cause association." "This is exactly what I worry about. So far, there is no strangeness ... The situation in other districts is not clear. "" In any case, in this special natural phenomenon, we still keep vigilant at all times. After a few days, I am afraid that it will not be short. "Han Meng slowly spoke," I have ordered all law enforcement to add a round of inspections every day. You are better to inspect a few more rounds in the past two days, and keep in the state of security. Han Meng took out a palm-sized machine from his pocket and handed it to Chen Ling. "The temporary communication system has been activated. You should always carry this thing with you. If you find anything wrong, report it to me immediately."
Chen Ling looked at the machine, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes... He had seen this thing before. When the two law enforcers broke into the house and fought the red paper monster, they used it to ask for help. Chen Ling didn't think much about it at the time, but now thinking about it, this thing doesn't seem to be in this era?
"How far is the range of this thing?"
"Its communication depends on the domain of Lord Aurora, so under the Aurora, they can communicate at the same frequency."
It turns out that it is not technology, but domain... Chen Ling put away the walkie-talkie and nodded.
Chen Ling and Xi Renjie left the headquarters and agreed to patrol in the East Street District and the West Street District respectively. As for Han Meng, he guarded the law enforcement headquarters alone. As the chief of the law enforcement officers of District 3 and the highest combat power of District 3, he must always ensure that he is in the center of District 3.
The black windbreaker walked through the thick fog, and the visibility was reduced to ten meters. Chen Ling patrolled the street and could not see other people's faces from a distance...
Perhaps because the factory stopped working, there were not many pedestrians on the road. After all, if there was no important matter, no one would choose to go out in thick fog. The wet streets were unusually quiet. Chen Ling walked in it, as if he was walking in another world.
He didn't know whether the thick fog this time meant the arrival of the gray world again, nor did he know which district would be so unlucky and be shrouded in it... But he hoped that the unlucky guy was not himself.
Suddenly, Chen Ling stopped.
He came to a puddle on the corner of the street. Unknown to him, the water stains in the puddle had formed two lines of words.
[Audience expectation value +5]
[Current expectation value: 39%]
Chen Ling's heart skipped a beat.
Damn, I got caught!
