Chapter 214: Glory City

Ye Lan frowned as soon as he entered the town.

It was too shabby, really too shabby.

There were almost no high-rise buildings, and the roadside was full of bungalows that were built very casually without any planning. Cement was considered a luxury configuration, and there were stone, wood, and everything else.

The road surface was also bumpy. It had been repaired, but not much, and it was repaired very simply.

But there were a lot of people. It was almost dinner time, and the road was as lively as a vegetable market.

What was even more discordant was that Ye Lan and the others were not dressed in a way that attracted attention.

Some were wearing rags, some were wearing suits, some were wearing sportswear, some were wearing neat equipment... all kinds of things, everything, all blended together in a weird way.

Ye Lan frowned.

Why is it so shabby? Can this be called a town? Why is there such a shabby town next to the most glorious and prosperous Guanghui City?

It's just... much more broken than the Sewage Town, right?

After all, the Sewage Town is based on the town before the end of the world, and the old buildings are all there. But here... it's like it was built randomly without official support.

"Manman, have you heard of this place?" Ye Lan asked in a low voice.

Xia Manman opened her mouth, and didn't know how she followed Ye Lan again. Her emotions were up and down, and she returned to the starting point.

"I have some impression. It is indeed a gathering point that has appeared in recent decades. It seems that something happened in Guanghui City a few years ago, and some residents fled and built it themselves."

Escaped? From Guanghui City?

Suddenly, Ye Lan seemed to have arrived at the downtown area of ​​Guanghui City that he saw in the commission at that time, a large-scale missing population case.

Just...

I can bear it, I can bear it! The detective addiction is about to come.

"Let's go, eat something first."

Find a restaurant that looks relatively quiet on the side of the road, and the four of them sit down together. Looking at the menu, Ye Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

Good, good, great, finally normal food.

"Four servings of roast duck rice."

"Okay, wait a moment."

Soon, four fragrant lunch boxes were served.

Compared to the mosquito restaurant, it was really cheap. The set meal included side dishes, meat, rice, and water, and a set cost only 1 fog blue coin.

But this rice...

Ye Lan frowned and chewed two grains. It was acceptable, so he didn't ask for more.

Pure black rice, but it was not black rice, but dyed rice, but the taste was still similar.

It was around seven o'clock in the evening. It would take at most three hours to get to Glory City without stopping, and we could arrive before ten o'clock in the evening.

So what we need to do next is to fill up the tank and go directly to Glory City. But what to do when we get to Glory City, Ye Lan actually didn't have much idea.

"Damn it!"

While eating, a few people suddenly sat down at the next table and slapped the table angrily.

"Blocked! Blocked again! Are those people in Glorious City all crazy? Is it easy for me to go back and forth? Don't they know how expensive the fare is? This wasteland is full of dangers and I have to hire a bodyguard. After going back and forth, Glorious City told me that the city is closed?"

Glorious City is closed?

Ye Lan and a few others looked at each other and narrowed their eyes.

Is it true that wherever I go, something bad will happen?

But the other people in the restaurant seemed much calmer.

"Oh, I'll get used to it. It's like this every year. Suddenly I don't know what's going on. It has to be closed more than ten times a year. It's just bad luck."

Blocked every year?

Ye Lan was thoughtful and asked as a curious traveler:

Of course, there are also anxious and concerned people among these people. People's joys and sorrows are different, and there are always people walking on the road.

"Closed the city? Why did he close the city this time?"

The crowd was bustling, and the man probably had a lot of complaints that needed to be vented, so he started chatting.

"How the hell should I know! The notice posted is about the experiment leak. They are doing this experiment and that experiment every day. How can nothing go wrong? Haha, sooner or later, they will play with fire and get burned!"

"Damn it! How long will it be closed? I have to go to Guanghui City tomorrow to do some work!"

"I've had enough! I want to report it! I strongly condemn this sudden behavior without prior notice!"

Arthur was a little worried and looked at Ye Lan.

"God..."

"Shh." Ye Lan gave him a warning look: "When you go out, call me Ye Lan at any time."

"...Ye Lan, what should I do? Guanghui City is closed."

He tapped his fingers on the table, and Ye Lan couldn't eat anymore.

It's so annoying!

"It's not a big problem. I'll ask Xu Lezhang what's going on later. There should be other ways to get into the city."

Da Da Da!

There was a commotion outside the restaurant. For a while, there was a lot of chaos. From time to time, there were gunshots and screams, which made the noise in the restaurant quieter.

"Damn! The white skin is here again!"

White skin?

Just a glance at Ye Lan and he understood what was going on. The people outside were well-equipped, but their uniforms were uniformly white. The so-called white skins must be them.

The army of Guanghui City? Why is it getting more and more troublesome!

Ye Lan made a prompt decision and stood up and walked out. Arthur and Luo Chou were stunned for a moment, and then followed.

"Ye Lan, where are we going?"

"Get a room."

Xia Manman: ...

Ah?

Is he serious about getting a room?

"Not leaving tonight?" Xia Manman quickly reacted and asked.

This doesn't match what you just said!

"It won't take too long." Ye Lan was quite patient with Xia Manman. In fact, it was Arthur and Luo Chou who were not so comfortable with their reserved interactions:

"The troops of Glory City are here. No matter what happened, it must be related to the closure of Glory City. This is very troublesome."

"They are either here to arrest people or to control the scene. What I am more worried about now is that they will control and check the floating population on a large scale. We can only show our identities, which will be more troublesome."

Ye Lan's thoughts gradually settled.

"So no matter what, open the room before you don't need to prove your identity, so that you don't really have to leave tonight and can't even open your residence."

Xia Manman glanced at Ye Lan and said nothing.

It can only be said that Ye Lan is still Ye Lan... He always thinks so far ahead and prepares for problems before encountering them.

The army of Glory City is not slow. Occasionally, they look back from a distance and are still controlling the entrances and exits of the town and the streets, without rushing or slowing down.

After walking a few steps further, we were probably in the center of the town, and gradually there were some taller buildings. Of course, they were only three or four stories high.

Then, a signboard of the Glory Hotel came into view.

Ye Lan took a look and found it was not small, so it should be quite formal...

Of course, this was based on the Glory Town.

"Boss, two adjacent twin rooms." Without wasting any time, Ye Lan pushed open the door and said directly.

The owner of the Glory Hotel glanced at him and pointed to the sign above his head.

"Ordinary room 1 Fog Blue Coin per day, deluxe room 2 Fog Blue Coins per day."

"Deluxe room, two rooms." Ye Lan said without hesitation.

It's not cheap, but it depends on who you compare it with.

And for him now, he can really say that he is not short of money.

The boss glanced at their lineup and looked at his account book.

"Sorry, there are no adjacent rooms, but there are two opposite rooms. Do you still need them?"

Opposite?

"Okay."

The reason for being adjacent is that they are close to each other, so that it is convenient to gather and reinforce when something happens. Opposite and door to door, it's almost the same.

The boss took out two sets of keys, and Ye Lan immediately went upstairs.

303 and 305.

"Manman and I will share a room, and you guys..."

"Hey! When did I agree to share a room with you!"

Ye Lan looked at her helplessly and spread his hands: "Or you can just pick one of them, and we will definitely split into two teams."

Xia Manman:...

Gritting her teeth, Xia Manman walked into 303.

"If you encounter a situation, don't solve it yourself, contact me immediately."

After another instruction, Ye Lan walked into 303.

Xia Manman was looking out the window again, and Ye Lan didn't have time to show her humanistic care now, so he immediately turned on the communicator.

"Le Zhang, what happened in Guanghui City?"
