He didn't know, or rather, everyone in the defense force led by Saria didn't know that when they just set out, Saria received a piece of news.
A flying vehicle with the Rhine Life logo took off from a Rhine Life Laboratory construction site a day ago.
However, the application for the use of this aircraft did not appear in Saria's terminal.
There is only one person in the entire Rhine Life who can bypass Saria and use the Rhine Life aircraft.
"What on earth are you doing!?"
Saria said angrily as she fastened her seat belt and stepped on the accelerator to rush into the area covered by the disaster cloud.
77: Penguin Logistics Mission
In the wilderness outside the port of entry into Tekalo City, the sound of horns echoed from various vehicles arranged in an arc shape.
These whistle sounds were obviously expressions of dissatisfaction. They were because the port entry process, which was originally crowded but at least orderly, suddenly came to a halt. The entire fleet had not moved for half an hour.
At the front of the queue, less than a hundred meters away from the port entry inspection area, the medium-sized van with the penguin logistics logo, which Miku ridiculed as a mouse, is a relatively quiet vehicle.
Texas, with one hand on the steering wheel, tapped the steering wheel with his index finger at a very steady speed, his eyes fixed on the sign of the vehicle in front.
The Angel in the co-pilot seat took out her Guardian Gun to perform routine maintenance.
I'm used to queuing and stuff like that in Longmen.
But when it comes to Longmen, Texas will find a road that may not be considered a road when the congestion reaches 5 minutes.
The problem is that this is not Longmen, and it is difficult to find a way out in the wilderness facing a mobile city hundreds of meters high.
Texas tapped the steering wheel for a while and asked the Archangel:
"How long?"
"Half an hour? Or forty minutes?" Archangel, who disassembled and reassembled the Guardian Gun with his eyes closed, gave a very vague answer.
"Go and see what's going on." Texas, who felt that this pause in entering the city was a little abnormal, said to the Archangel.
Normally, if there is a problem with the equipment, it will
It can be solved within a short period of time. If it cannot be solved, other temporary ports will definitely be opened.
After all, a mobile city has hundreds of thousands of people, so if logistics are interrupted, the impact will be huge.
"Ok!"
As Exia spoke, he quickly assembled the small submachine gun-type guardian gun that he had just disassembled. After checking the ammunition inside the guardian gun, he hurriedly opened the car door and trotted towards the customs inspection gate.
In addition to the Angelus, many people got off other vehicles and walked towards the checkpoint.
Everyone wants to see what is going on with this blockade without any prior notice.
Texas, who felt as if even the Archangel couldn't enter the city, opened the sun visor on the driver's seat, took out a pack of cigarettes with only a few cigarettes left from behind the visor, took out one and put it in his mouth.
"This is the last pack."
Texas said as he took out a lighter and lit a cigarette, changing from an expressionless Rupert to a smoking Rupert.
When there are already several cigarette holders piled in the car's ashtray and a new "last pack" is added to the sun visor.
The Angel of Power finally returned to the car.
Knowing that Texas was an old smoker, the Angel didn't complain. He just opened the sunroof skillfully and waved at the window, as if to quickly fan away the smoke in the car and said:
"I can't get in. The entire city of Tikarendo is on lockdown."
"City lockdown?" Texas said in surprise as he put out the half-smoked cigarette in his hand.
"That's right. The whole city is sealed off. No matter what procedures are used, it's useless. There's still a quarrel over there." After saying this, Angelus paused and then asked Texas:
"Is it a natural disaster?"
If it was a sudden natural disaster, it would explain why the city was blocked without any notice.
But if the problem is really a natural disaster, and a sudden natural disaster without any warning, then this mobile city should have started to decouple blocks by now.
But the Angel of Power could not see any signs of the city being decoupled. It looked like the city was simply being closed.
"If it was a natural disaster, there wouldn't be so many cars waiting outside."
Texas shook his head, restarted the engine, turned the steering wheel, made a sharp turn, and left the queue of cars.
"Give up this mission?" Seeing Texas' familiar movements, the Archangel quickly adjusted his sitting position and fastened his seat belt to prevent himself from flying out asked.
It can be said that Archangel is very reluctant to take on this task.
The vacation I had just applied for had not yet ended... at least there were still a few hours left, but it was interrupted by a super super long-distance telecommunication from my boss that spanned dozens of stations and more than ten mobile cities.
The bill for sending this message alone is enough to buy a one-bedroom apartment in Longmen City. What kind of task is worth such a huge expense?
And no matter how important the task is, it can't delay my angel's search for the gospel!
Although he had searched for it in Tremont for several days without finding it, and his perception of the gospel had faded to almost nothing, the Archangel knew that he had missed it.
If you missed it, you missed it. The only impact is that Angel is in a bad mood now, so much so that she has to eat three more apple pies every day to make herself feel better.
"This is the mission of the Emperor." Knowing that Archangel was unhappy about something, Texas said while speeding in the dense sea of cars.
"Okay, so where do we go now? Do we circle around the Tikarendo and wait for the client to jump off it himself?"
Neng Tianshi also knew that this mission worth a house in Longmen City could not be terminated just because of his unhappiness.
"Let's go in." Texas' answer was simple and clear.
"Get in? How do we get in? Fly up? Sakta's wings can only allow us to jump a little higher, but we can't fly. Or can this car we are in actually be transformed into a flying machine?"
When the adventurous Archangel heard that Texas was planning to challenge the city management department, he immediately showed an excited look and asked.
In response to the question raised by the Angel, Texas, who drove the van out of the congested traffic and along the edge of the Tikarendo city block, explained:
"The technology of the mobile cities in Colombia mainly comes from Victoria, where the drainage systems are discharged directly into the ground, not into the river like Gantry."
There is one thing Texas hasn't said yet, which is that the drainage system from Victoria does not have a complete purification system like Longmen.
As a result, thousands of tons of grease monsters accumulated in the sewers of some of Victoria's older mobile cities.
Coupled with the large amount of harmful source stone smog produced by the industry that has begun to lag behind due to its early development, the livability of Victoria's mobile city can be said to be the worst among all the mobile cities in all countries.
After driving around the edge of Tikarendo for about ten kilometers, when Texas drove the car to the sewage area of the city, he looked at the large green area in front of him with strange smoke, as if it was a swamp where seven old witches lived, and the face of the Archangel also turned green.
"Wow, so disgusting." Even through the closed compartment, Archangel could seem to smell the suffocating odor coming from the swamp.
The Angel quickly took out two sets of gas masks from the storage box, put one on each of them, and asked
Road:
"How do you know that, Texas?"
“I’m Colombian,” Texas responded.
"Even if you are Colombian, you wouldn't be so familiar with the sewers, right?" asked the Archangel doubtfully.
Texas was stunned for a moment by the doubt of Angelic Angel, with a look of nostalgia on his face.
However, under the curious gaze of Archangel, Texas finally did not tell why he was so familiar with the sewers of Columbia.
Texas didn't think this was anything to be happy about.
After driving a van with certain off-road capabilities in the sewage swamp for a while, Texas parked the car near the birthplace of the swamp.
Looking up, in the mobile city structure that is more than 100 meters high, dozens of pipes with a diameter of more than 10 meters are arriving at this area as the final destination from various areas, and sewage with a strong odor is flowing out continuously.
Some pipes are flowing continuously like a trickle, while some pipes have a large wave of dirt gushing out every once in a while, directly forming a waterfall of dirt.
"Are we going to get in through these pipes?" After getting out of the car, Angelica immediately felt the soft and sticky touch under her feet and felt that she could not keep these shoes and stockings.
Hearing what the Archangel said, Texas turned around and looked at his colleague, his eyes beneath the protective mask revealing a look as if he was looking at a fool.
"Go to the maintenance passage." Texas said, pointing to the stairs next to the pipe.
"I'm so scared! If I really drill these pipes, I'll write my resignation letter now!"
Following Texas's gaze, Exia patted his chest and said.
"If you want to resign, you can leave now." Texas said to Archangel in a calm tone.
This is the first time that Angelic has gone on a field mission since joining Penguin Logistics... Oh, it should be the second time.
Anyway, no matter how many times, until returning to Longmen, Texas, as a senior, has the responsibility to review.
If Angel Neng really wants to resign, she, who has the authority to review new employees, can issue a resignation form to Angel Neng on the spot.
"Haha, I'm just kidding. A company with such good corporate logistics can't even be found even with a bomb. How could I resign? Let's go, let's go into the city." Archangel immediately swallowed back everything he had just said.
As for why they carry bombs instead of lanterns, this is a unique custom of the Sakota people.
Then, without waiting for Texas to lead the way, Archangel Exo held his submachine gun and walked towards the maintenance passage next to the sewage pipes.
Compared to those sewage pipes, the maintenance passage is cleaner, but it is only relatively clean. For Texas and Exia, they are still in a situation where "the shoes cannot be kept and the stockings have to be thrown away."
Anyway, since the establishment of Rhine Life, the price of stockings has been getting lower and lower.
A pair of high-quality black stockings that once sold for a few thousand Longmen coins can now be bought for the price of a bowl of scale beast pills, and buy a pair and get a pair free.
There is a reason why almost everyone is obsessed with stockings...even though Kristen, the general manager of Rhine Life who created all of this, never wears stockings.
However, precisely because of this filth, not many daily maintenance personnel frequent these maintenance passages.
The few staff on duty were also hiding in the workroom with a complete air purification system to slack off.
The only surveillance cameras were not even an obstacle for Texas and Exiah.
Too bad I can't use the working elevator... that would be too embarrassing.
Texas and Archangel could only climb up the stairs one step at a time on their own two legs.
For Texas and Archangel's physique, a mere sixty or seventy flights of stairs are not a big problem.
The Angels, who climbed dozens of floors without getting embarrassed or out of breath, still had the energy to ask Texas what the mission was. It was worth using the ultra-long-distance cross-city communication that was worth a house in Longmen City to pull them out of their vacation.
After all, this kind of ultra-long-distance cross-city communication, in addition to being high in cost, has another major disadvantage: it is easily affected.
It often happens that money is spent, communications are sent, but the recipient does not receive them.
Therefore, Angel was very curious about what kind of mission could make the boss of Penguin Logistics, the Emperor, use such an unreliable method to contact them.
"It's a big shot from Thor Industries." Texas, who had already arrived here and did not continue to keep the mission secret, replied.
"The big shot of Thor Industries? Why would the big shot of Thor Industries need to find us? Aren't their own security capabilities insufficient? And the big shots of big companies are basically surrounded by Black Steel Security operators, right?"
Texas' answer only made Exiah more confused.
"I don't know. Our mission is just to pick up that important person safely and send him to his destination."
Texas hesitated and shook his head.
Sensing Texas' hesitation, the Archangel immediately asked:
"What did you think of? Tell me."
"It's nothing. I just thought that the reason they looked for us instead of others might have something to do with the strange lockdown here," said Texas.
"What's the relationship?" Archangel didn't understand what Texas meant.
“Have you heard of corporate wars?”
Texas, who was walking in front, paused for a moment and stood still, waiting until the scanning camera in the corner turned around before continuing:
“It’s a Colombian specialty.”
"Corporate war?" Having just graduated, Archangel Nerga didn't know much about these local customs...these things were not taught in the schools in Rutland.
"It's just a bigger family...oh no, it's just a gang fight."
Texas explained to Archangel what the corporate war in Colombia was in simple enough terms.
"Oh, gang fights." The Archangel, who had already carried out several missions with Texas in Longmen City, certainly knew what gang fights were.
Especially in those missions, except for the time to pay a fine at the Longmen Guard Bureau and deliver pizza, in other missions, the Archangel used rubber bullets to give the local gang forces in Longmen a bath.
In the eyes of the local gang forces in Longmen, the Emperor's Penguin Logistics is not only world-famous, but also well-known to everyone.
"When this kind of gang fight occurs, other related forces are not trustworthy." Hearing that Archangel understood what he meant, Texas continued to explain.
"That's why you came to us?" The Archangel said with sudden enlightenment.
"I went to the boss." Texas corrected Archangel's statement.
"Yes, we are just working here."
