Seeing the big beetle, Xinglu happily ran to the front and sat down, but the uncle said with a troubling expression. Of course, this troubling expression was told to me by the system.
"Ah, this lovely lady, we have a rule here that no one can sit in front of you, but this lady seems to be a good kid, so...sit next to old Paz."
"Ling Mei, is this big beetle a lolicon?" I asked secretly in my mind.
"You must have read too many novels. People will not be interested in humanoid creatures." Reimei replied coldly.
"Speaking of which...Uncle, why can't people sit in front?" I asked, tilting my head.
"Ah, this must be your first time here, right? The security here is not very good. In order to avoid hijacking incidents, the company made this rule and installed this for us." As he said, Big Beetle pointed.
Pointing to the beam fence behind the seat.
Seeing this, I remembered that the taxis in my hometown were also equipped with such a thing. Of course, it couldn't be something as high-end as a light beam. It was just a few stainless steel bars. However, such a simple and effective thing would never be used in any era.
Obsolete.
However, we only stipulate that passengers cannot sit in the front after dark, but it is not allowed here even in broad daylight. Is this place as chaotic as a country on earth known for its crime carnival?
The taxis here are all big like vans, so the interior space is very large, and the seats are facing each other. After a group of people sit in, a tea table can be set up in the middle space to have afternoon tea.
As the car hit the road, the face of the largest city on the planet gradually unfolded before my eyes.
Like all big cities, the land here is filled with various high-rise buildings, and the three-dimensional transportation network is densely interspersed like a spider web. Fortunately, the technology here is relatively advanced, and various rail bridges use a large amount of transparent materials, and their shapes are also relatively simple.
It's slim, and people don't feel depressed when driving on the road. This reminds me of the capital of a large southern province I visited before. Standing on the street, there is the road under your feet, the road above your head, and houses on both sides. It's like cramming people in
Being stuck in a huge cement pipe makes people feel uncomfortable all over.
Of course there will be various aircraft in such a sci-fi city, but they will also drive in an orderly manner according to the lines drawn by the light. If they fly randomly without traffic rules like in the movie, it will definitely rain fireballs every day.
In general, this city is crowded but not cluttered, which fits the image of a sci-fi city in my impression. However, compared with a dream city that is neither short of money nor lack of land, it is still far behind.
Turning my gaze back into the car, I focused on the old driver. Looking at his thick carapace that bulged out of his uniform, I couldn't help but feel a strong sense of disobedience again. When Xinglu was the insect king,
Even the human form is half-naked, but now the bugs all over the streets are dressed in fancy clothes. This is really unacceptable.
"Why are you so stubborn, brat? There will be many opportunities to destroy the Three Views in the future! No, it should be said that there will be many more people who will establish the correct Three Views in the future! The Three Views you have formed in the more than ten years on earth are really too great.
It’s so superficial!” Sister Aini put her arms around me and touched my head and said, it seems like she has been doing this kind of intimate behavior recently.
"Okay, sister, you are right. Three views and so on...wait! Sister Aini, why are you so normal? Aren't you afraid of...insects?" I suddenly realized a serious problem, so I finished the second half of the sentence.
The words turned into brain communication.
"Boy, do you remember that I have a calm mode." Sister Aini looked at me with calm eyes.
"Uh, remember, you were kicked by Ling Mei or me?" I looked at Sister Aini blankly.
"Yesterday... no, the day before yesterday? Anyway, it was the day we fought the pirates. When you were not in front of us, Rei Mei kicked me back to the Milky Way with her boots, so I am still calm until now. Do you understand?" Sister Aini said to me.
He raised his eyebrows.
"Uh...I understand...hehehe..."
"Amy, the harder you kick Aini, the longer her calm mode will last. Do you remember that?" Lingmei held my shoulders and looked like she was guiding me seriously.
"Yes...I remember..." I nodded and agreed in a cold sweat.
Of course, we were communicating in our heads the whole time without speaking aloud, so it looked like we were performing a pantomime.
"You beautiful ladies, do you have a place to stay? Hotels in the city center are not cheap." Big Beetle suddenly answered.
"It doesn't matter, we still have plenty of funds, but if possible, please recommend a better hotel." Lingmei answered.
"Oh? No wonder the temperament of these ladies is so extraordinary. I see, it turns out that you all have a prominent status. Then let's take a few of them to the 'Sky Sky' Hotel with the best view in the city center. If you want to have a panoramic view of the city,
, there is no better place than the sky observation hall there.”
"Lingmei, you printed counterfeit money again..." I complained in my mind.
"I didn't. I transferred all this money directly from the Zerg treasury." Lingmei looked at me innocently.
"Hey! This is worse than printing counterfeit money!"
"What's wrong? Anyway, in the end, the money will either be used to make murder tools, or it will become special funds for the privileged class. We might as well use it. At least we are consuming it instead of wasting it." Ling Mei said with a face.
Upright and awe-inspiring.
"...I actually have nothing to say..."
The so-called super-large city is one that takes a long time in the car and makes you think you have arrived in another county, but in fact you have just changed to another district. As the number one on this administrative star, this city is naturally the same.
And because of the development of science and technology, this place is several times larger than the megacities on earth. Although the low-altitude cars here are very fast, it still takes a long time to get close to the center of the city.
The Big Beetle calmly drove off the highway, then drove into a large square and lined up behind a bunch of cars.
"Huh? What are you doing? Why don't you go directly to the city?" I felt baffled by this behavior.
"Ah, this lady, you are preparing to undergo a security inspection. The highway is closed in front, and you must undergo inspection here before you can drive into the central city." The big beetle shook its pliers and took out a similar product from the box.
The pipe was in his mouth.
"Ah? What's going on here? Why is it so troublesome?"
"The rebels have been making a lot of noise recently. There have been several attacks against civilians. It's no good if the security is not tight. Old Paz would rather cause trouble than die inexplicably." The big beetle took a hard sip, but
I didn't see him blow out any smoke.
The square is divided into two parts, one is the inspection area, and the other is the waiting area. The inspection area is divided into several areas by the energy field, and a certain number of cars will be put in each time, and then they will be inspected and passed in turn; the waiting area is not divided, and everyone
I consciously lined up and prepared to enter.
The waiting time was not long, and soon it was our turn to be inspected. Big Beetle followed the instructions and drove the car into an inspection cubicle, and an elevated machine moved over to scan the vehicles of the same batch.
"Eggs! Scan every day, endless scans! If this continues, I will get cancer!" The driver of a car next to him opened the window and spit out a mouthful of yellow-green liquid on the ground.
By the way, that's a praying mantis-like insect.
"People nowadays always think that a stable life can be conjured. When society is in turmoil, they think the police can't show up in time. Now that society has stabilized, they think the police all over the street are in the way. Tsk, tsk, tsk, but they don't move.
Think about it, who brought you a stable life?" The old driver shook his head and took another puff of his smokeless pipe.
"Hahaha, that's how people are, they always take what they have for granted." I responded with a wry smile.
The security inspection was quickly completed, and the big beetle drove us out of the inspection area and back to the road, heading towards the city center.
