Chapter 248 Harbor
Sub-personality: “It’s not the original one, but it’s still considered original. It matches you perfectly, it’s your heart, and there won’t be any rejection.
It's just a little weak right now, you can do some double keying and it should be back up soon. "
Things here in Jiangdu have basically come to an end. Next, he has to go to the deep sea to have a look. Hu Yu's life is almost in Ye Tingbai's hands. He will definitely come to him. We will talk about everything then. It can all be solved logically.
Rushing is not a business, and asking Hu Tian for help will definitely not be as effective as Hu Tian taking the initiative.
Ye Tingbai took Qiang Sen through transit and arrived at a completely unfamiliar city. This was the city closest to the deep sea, called Binhai City. This was the closest location Ye Tingbai could find on the official map.
But in fact, Binhai City is only an hour away from the deep sea. Because the deep sea is too dangerous, it is impossible for humans to build a city in that place. The pollution is strong, and the probability of human mutation is also high. Therefore, if you want to go to the deep sea from Binhai, you have to think about it. A way.
The two found a taxi on the side of the road, intending to ask for directions, but they didn't expect the driver to directly quote the price.
"To the harbor, 2000 one way."
Johnson: "Why don't you go and grab it? It's only an hour away and you want two thousand?"
The driver looked impatient, but he didn't want to lose the door-to-door business.
"I'm already the cheapest around here. If you don't believe me, just ask around. If you go to the harbor, you'll lose your head. Do you think I should be expensive?"
Ye Tingbai didn't argue with him and took the initiative to pay the fare.
This seaport, as the name suggests, is a seaport. Because the deep sea is profitable, it naturally needs a trading market, so this seaport is really close to the deep sea. However, because it is not officially established, it cannot be seen on the map at all.
In the beginning, this seaport was only equivalent to a black goods market, but due to the development time, the scale now seems to be very large. This is only the information Ye Tingbai learned from the backstage of the Order, and it is not very specific.
Therefore, this seaport is a paradise of freedom. Crime, gold mining, and all kinds of illegal business are almost all available here. Neither the Order nor the World Government has any control over this place.
Logically speaking, in a place like this, it should be extremely easy to produce pollutants, and there is no order to maintain it. The destruction of this harbor is just a matter of the blink of an eye, but this harbor has a strong existence and has never disappeared.
The driver glanced at Ye Tingbai through the rearview mirror and asked in confusion.
"A young man going to become a water ghost? What's so strange about him?"
Seeing that the driver was very experienced, Ye Tingbai also wanted to chat with him.
"How did you tell that we were going to be water ghosts?"
The driver laughed very confidently: "I have been working in the coastal area for so many years, and I still have a good eye. What else can you do when you are alone and go to the harbor besides being a water ghost?"
Ye Tingbai has been exposed to the profession of water ghost for a long time. How can I put it, it is a very sad profession. He dives into the deep sea to fish for mechanical creations. If he is lucky, he can bring the mechanical creations back before they are alienated, and he can still enjoy them. Those who are unlucky will catch nothing and will be buried in the belly of the fish.
Su Mi had also said before that water ghosts were a way to consume low-quality people. The low-quality people would be forced to do these jobs, but he did not expect that someone would take the initiative to become a water ghost.
Ye Tingbai: "What are the reasons why people you have seen become water ghosts?"
"Who else is there? They are terminally ill, don't want to live anymore, and want to leave some money for their families. That's basically it."
The driver was a talker and talked a lot of nonsense along the way. In fact, he was also trying to relieve tension. Ye Tingbai could clearly see the gun hidden under the steering wheel.
What the driver has been guarding against is actually Ye Tingbai. If it is true, as the driver said, that the people who went to the harbor with them were prepared to become water ghosts, then it would not be an exaggeration to say that these people are desperadoes. , the danger of desperadoes, to some extent, may already be higher than that of pollutants.
An hour later, the driver put the two of them on the roadside and pointed in the direction and left. There was no conflict, but the driver refused to go near the harbor anymore.
There was nothing to argue about. After all, the road was not far. After walking for about five minutes, the two of them saw a huge steel city with a mechanical city wall several people high. The materials were not standardized and it looked like a pile of various mechanical items. Together, they look like they were squeezed by external forces.
A completely steampunk city, a lawless place without any official records.
Modern cities with walls like this are still very rare. After all, scenes like siege are almost impossible to happen in modern society. A few helicopters can directly drop people into the city. What is the use of this wall?
The city gate is like a highway entrance, with a total of four lanes. There are already long lines of vehicles coming and going, most of which are small trucks. The windows are welded shut with iron windows, making it almost airtight.
The two of them walked along the roadside without queuing. There were four people guarding the door. Each person's body had mechanical modifications visible to the naked eye. The person facing Ye Tingbai and the two was a woman in her thirties. The left arm is entirely a robotic arm, but it looks particularly flexible.
"What are you doing in the harbor?"
Ye Tingbai: "Is it okay to come and travel?"
The woman glanced at Ye Tingbai strangely, seeming a little surprised by this reason.
"I've never heard of this reason before. Identity card, plus 10,000 yuan entry fee. Card or cash?"
Ye Tingbai smiled helplessly. He was being charged in various ways before he entered the city. This seaport really only recognized money and no one, but he didn't want to break the rules here. After all, strong dragons can't suppress local snakes. What's more? He is not yet a strong dragon.
When Ye Tingbai handed over the ID card, Didi's alarm sounded in the toll booth. The other three toll collectors looked over at the same time. They were also saying something on the intercom. The woman looked at Ye Tingbai with an unkind expression. Bai's ID card was handed back.
"People from the Order Office are not allowed to enter."
This is something Ye Tingbai really didn't expect. Can this seaport be connected to the official network?
Ye Tingbai's identity information cannot be said to be top secret, but it is definitely not something that anyone can check casually. But now at a toll booth in a seaport, you can find out the information about his order office by just swiping through it. This seaport is a bit too magical. Some.
Ye Tingbai: "But I just want to enter?"
The woman laughed contemptuously, closed the window instantly, and pressed the button under the table. The alarm bell rang loudly, and many identical mechanical soldiers rushed out of the city. Ye Tingbai also knew about this type of mechanical soldiers. It is something created by modern society to imitate the Soldier Era.
