: Boundless Darkness 09

“It’s really cold…” Kai Xin shivered, and exhaled a mouthful of white mist.

The temperature difference between day and night in Beluga City, located in the polar circle, is too great. During the day, the temperature is more than ten degrees. At night, the temperature will drop to below ten degrees.

Kai Xin looked at the communicator. The temperature is now five degrees. She folded her clothes, feeling a little uncomfortable.

In August, the sun will rise before 5:00 am, and the sun will not completely set until after 9:00 pm. In June, the polar day phenomenon will last for nearly a month. In winter, the city will also experience polar night, so the two large areas of the city are named the polar day zone and the polar night zone.

There are very few security guards patrolling the streets of Beluga City, and there will be more people during the day, but there are almost no people on the streets at night. Because the climate is too cold, the investigation department here will use robots instead of patrols in most cases.

In the terrible polar night region, a drunk would really freeze to death if he passed out on the street in such weather. When the robot finds a drunk on the street, it will call the police or call an ambulance, but basically no one comes to deal with it.

The polar day zone is different. Everything is fine here, the buildings are tall, the shops on the roadside are bright and beautiful, the people walking on the street are well-dressed, and people who call the police will be properly dealt with. It is completely different from the polar night zone. world.

“A city without nightlife is incomplete.” Kai Xin complained.

This place is not as lively as Heihai City, and the cold and bleak streets are empty, with few pedestrians.

“That’s because you didn’t look for the right place. You go to bars, nightclubs, underground boxing rings and casinos. It will be very lively there.” Adam said, “rich people will enjoy it, and you can even find indoor golf courses here. And the racetrack, where the temperature is constant all year round, very warm.”

Kai Xin smiled, “That’s right, it’s already in the extreme daylight zone, and rich people don’t foolishly stand outside to suffer from the cold.”

There is no obvious boundary between the cities of Heihai City. Although there are four districts in the southeast and northwest, these districts are only used to divide regions. The meaning of the division of Beluga City is different. A wall, an electronic wall.

If you want to enter and leave freely, you have to pass through the electronic wall scan. Citizens with level 5 and below are not allowed to enter, and only citizens with level 4 can freely enter and exit inside and outside the wall. If you break in by force, the automatic machine gun on the electronic wall will suddenly appear and shoot a bunch of bullets to sieve anyone who wants to break in.

The social classes here are more distinct than those in Heihai City.

Kai Xin is uprightMing walked through the gate of the electronic wall, because the actual controller of the electronic wall is the Anti-Investigation Department, and every person who is released needs to go through Adam’s scan, and it scans Kai Xin and puts her in directly.

But in terms of prosperity, there is not much difference between Black Sea City and Beluga City. The extreme day area of ​​Beluga City is also full of high-rise buildings, holographic projections wandering above the city, and huge advertising screens are interspersed between buildings. between. But the floors here seem to prefer to be decorated with laser lights, those extremely penetrating colored lights illuminate the night sky of the city, casting circles of halos on the low clouds.

When he first came to Heihai City, Kai Xin was quite impressed by the suspended trams parading over the city, but there were no suspended trams in Beluga City, and only road vehicles were used here.

Adam said: “The winter here is too long. It is easy to hang ice cones on the tramway. It is very troublesome to clean up, and it is very dangerous. It may hit the pedestrians below. Therefore, at the beginning of urban planning, Beluga City abandoned it. You can see that the streets of Beluga City are one and a half times wider than those of Black Sea City, which is for the convenience of vehicles.”

Every city has its own style. In the first world, architectural styles and people’s lifestyles in various regions will have obvious changes. The same is true in the second world. Different geographical conditions have resulted in different development models.

Kai Xin looked at the shops on the street. There were still many shops open at midnight. She stopped and walked, wandering the streets leisurely.

When he walked to the busiest street in Jizhou District, Kai Xin raised his head and saw the majestic technology company building. On the company building, a few large characters gleamed – Chuangtuo Technology.

Kai Xin was very, very impressed with the name of this company, not only because her memory told her that it was the Pipi Company of Mechanical Dawn, but also because the company was promoting “prosthetic bodies”.

Everything that Mechanical Dawn did was premeditated.

The establishment of Rick Technology Company is the same as the establishment of Chuangtuo Technology Company. There is no connection between the two companies on the surface, but the actual controller is Kai Haidong, and the actual controller of Kai Haidong is Eve. Rick Technology is gone and there is Chuangtuo. Rick Technology researches bionic human technology and mechanical prosthetics. Chuangtuo Technology goes a step further and researches prosthetic body-a technology that completely replaces the human body.

Kai Xin’s blue electronic prosthetic eye blinked twice, and the scene read by the electronic eye was automatically magnified dozens of times. Her eyes are equipped with a high-power telescope function. After switching to the electronic eye, Kai Xin no longer needs to blink to keep her eyeballs moist and clean. She blinks to control the electronic eye to take pictures. Blinking once will automatically take pictures, and blinking twice will automatically enlarge the image, which is very convenient.

The number of floors of the entire building is presented in Kai Xin’s eyes, and the external structure can be seen at a glance.

But to understand the structure of this building, it’s useless to only look at the external structure. It’s best to get a drawing of the internal structure. There will be a fire safety map on each floor of this kind of building, and it would be nice to see that map.

“Doesn’t this kind of large enterprise have fire safety inspections? Does the Investigation Department have a backup?” Kai Xin asked Adam.

“This is the responsibility of the fire safety department, not the scope of work of the investigation department. I have no authority to consult relevant information.” Adam said, “I think Mechanical Dawn will definitely remodel the internal structure of the building, and the fire safety map may not be accurate. ”

“It seems that we have to find a way to catch an internal employee to read his blood.” Kui Xin wanted to retch when he recalled that feeling.

Kai Xin walked around the building of Chuangtuo Technology Company several times, took several pictures with the electronic prosthetic eye, and then turned and left.

Don’t be reckless, if you step on it well, the action will go smoothly.

Her next destination is the port, the port of Beluga City.

The distance between the port and the urban area is quite far, and it took Kai Xin more than an hour to arrive.

The reason why I want to come to the port is because in Heihai City, all stories start from the port, and Kai Xin has a subtle feeling for the port.

Especially in the incident of the Kraken, the freighter carrying the cocoon departed from the polar region, Moby Dick City was a stop of the freight ship, Fangzhi the Alien Blood was from Moby Dick City, and the captain of the Kraken, Anton, was a white whale. A native of Whale City, Tang Guan is a ship from Beluga City, and even the company that owns the cargo ship Kraken is located in Beluga City.

Beluga City is the real starting point of a series of events.

When Kai Xin stood in the cold port, she suddenly had a feeling – the Kraken was never far away, the big ship was like a mysterious shadow pressing on her head, she avoided it for a while, it didn’t mean it was solved took it. The cocoon on the ship did not disappear, it hatched, sank into the sea, and in the near future, it will return.

Kai Xin inquired which shipping company the Kraken was in advance. She walked to the company’s location and found a seal on the door of the shipping company’s building.

“The company has been shut down because the Kraken had an accident and the crew basically died. The company needed to pay a huge amount of compensation, so they filed for bankruptcy.” Adam said, “The family of the deceased did not get the money. ”

Kai Xin thought for a moment, “Is there a chaebol behind the freighter company?”

“Yes.” Adam said slowly, “The Popov family, which has almost monopolized the entertainment industry and service industry in Beluga City, is the actual shareholder of this shipping company. The Popov family is the richest family in Beluga City. They There are many entertainment companies under him, and they are present in most casinos, nightclubs and racetracks in the extreme day and extreme night areas. The political strength of this family may not be the best.Strong, but they are definitely the richest. ”

“The richest Popov?” Kui Xin nodded and wrote down the surname.

After checking the freighter company, Kai Xin passed by the port again when turning back.

The port of Beluga City exudes a feeling of coldness and loneliness. The silver-white moon in the sky is reflected on the deep black sea. Ships, large and small, are faintly seen near or far from the port. The outlines of the ships undulate slightly with the waves.

The wind in the port is not weak, it sounds like ghosts whimpering and whimpering. The lighthouse standing on the shore was silently lit.

There are not many people here now, and the port will only operate normally during the day.

If it is winter now, the sea in the distance may freeze, and the place will be covered with vast whiteness. At that time, icebreakers will be needed to break out a navigation route.

“Which do you prefer, Black Sea City or Beluga City?” Adam asked.

“I don’t really like any of them.” Kai Xin lowered his head and turned up the collar of his leather jacket to keep out the cold wind, “You are asking me if shit-flavored chocolate tastes better or chocolate-flavored shit tastes better. Let me tell you, I hate both of those things.”

“You are really ruthless when you speak.” Adam said, “But this is a very unique description.”

“I don’t expect to see normal things in this world anymore.” Kuixin said, “After all, I can’t even be normal myself. Maybe I can’t use normal standards to ask for other things. To relax the requirements on myself appropriately, It also relaxes the requirements for other things, people who are on the edge of their horns in this world cannot survive.”

“Where are you going tonight?” Adam said, “Or do you want to find a place to keep warm?”

“Walk around casually.” Kai Xin said casually, but he already had the next place he wanted to go to in his heart.

The Popov family, the local rich man in Beluga City, owns many entertainment companies. Su Rong seems to be the star of the entertainment company under Popov.

The hotel she stayed in was in the polar day zone.

Kui Xin used the data to control the access to the communicator, and searched for Su Rong’s related posts on it. Su Rong still has a lot of fans. Many people will pay attention to her fan meeting in Beluga City. Someone has already leaked the news about her stay. The location of the hotel is great.

Kai Xin recognized the direction and walked towards the destination.
