Chapter 2087 Pumpkin City

“Your son is really awesome.” A middle-aged woman holding a small food basket said, “The salary at Little Star Company is not low.”

The middle-aged man looked proud, but he did not forget to compliment the woman, "I heard that your daughter will soon finish studying mechanical engineering. She may become a famous designer in the future. If she joins the professional research team, she will have a bright future. .”

 The woman is also very proud, "I have never had to worry about my daughter since she was a child. No matter what she does in the future, I can do it. The most important thing as a parent is to respect the child's wishes."

 The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, "Life is so good now. You can live well in whatever you do. There is not as much pressure as we used to."

While the two were talking, a short robot moved over to the roadside. Its two round glass eyes flashed after detecting the garbage on the roadside, and then stretched out metal arms from both sides and made a sound:

 “Please pay attention, I’m going to pick up trash!”

 “Please pay attention, I’m going to pick up trash!”

Everyone who was chatting gave up their seats, and then watched it clamping the candy wrappers on the ground awkwardly. After trying a few times without success, the middle-aged woman smiled and helped pick it up and threw it in. The cleaning robot retracted its arms and turned around. play music:

“You are a good citizen who loves life and home. Your small home is our home and everyone is our home too. Let’s work together to create a better future!”

The people chatting quickly dispersed, and the children who were following the circles around the Time Tower were also called back to eat. A restaurant also greeted Xu Huo and his party, "It's almost lunch time, do you want to try some local specialties?"

“If the whole city is a dream, it’s nothing if you can feel the temperature.” Wang Ling said.

“But the area is too big.” Long Jianfeng pointed at the map given by the patrolman just now, “Pumpkin City is not small.”

 “I wish you a pleasant meal.” The waiter waved and entered the store to get busy.

"Maybe it has something to do with the terrain." Meng Wenguang took the map over. "The city looks like the side of a pumpkin when viewed from a bird's eye view. The city is arc-shaped on the left and right, starting from 'First Street' on the left to the 23rd Street on the far right. Twenty-three main roads run through the top and bottom. Except for the straight road in the middle, the others are all curved. The closer the street is to the edge, the greater the curvature."

Who dares to eat this?

The small note Xu Huo originally put was not inside, but they had already read the notice posted just now. The notice was very simple. It only asked citizens to close their doors and windows and not open the door to strangers easily. It did not describe the details of the case.

"Could it be a reminder?" Yue Rui said, "I heard people around me talking about this."

“The number of home invasion and robbery cases is a bit too high.” Meng Wenguang took a photo of the new newsstand and said, “There are three to five cases in this area alone.”

Several people then came to the newsstand.

  Xu Huo replied: "We have already booked meals at the hotel."

Their current location is on Twelve Streets in the middle, close to the top of the map. Going a little further out, you can almost see the edge of the city.

However, there are also a lot of old notices posted next to it, voluntarily posted by residents of nearby streets and residential areas. There are at least three. In addition, there are advance notices of weddings and funerals in nearby streets, and small advertisements about the opening of a certain store have been published in newspapers about recent important events.

The waiter felt regretful for a second, and then said with a smile: "The high-end food in the big hotel must be better than my boss's."

“Everything looks real.” Feng Hui moved his hands, “When the kid bumped into me just now, I felt the human body temperature.”

“Why is this city called Pumpkin City?” Hong Chen looked puzzled, “I don’t see any pumpkin decorations on the streets.”

 The boss who was very busy stuck his head out of the window and said, "Shut up! Serve the food!"

 “Does it have any special meaning?”

 He looked up at the other people.

"It's hard to say." Wang Ling said: "Isn't there any weird urban structure in the game? Maybe this is just the foundation of the city. Let's focus on the home invasion and robbery case and Little Star Company." Xu Huo also nodded, "The terrain can be Let it go for now.”

“The citizens of Pumpkin City seem to have a relatively high sense of happiness overall. Judging from the mechanical equipment used, they may be in the early stages of the explosion of smart technology. Normally at this stage, the city government or technology giants should have mastered the entire city’s information data. "

“For the two most obvious clues at the moment, we’d better go to Little Star Company or the city government separately.”

Pumpkin City is not small, and it is too slow to cast a wide net to find possible clues.

“Hong Chen and I are walking slowly,” Yue Rui said, “Let’s stay here and inquire with the people nearby.”

Their communicator still didn't work, but there was a store nearby that sold communicators. Xu Huo and Wang Ling bought two of them to try out.

 “Hey! It actually works!” Wang Ling was surprised.

“Of course the communicator can be used,” the clerk looked at him in surprise, and then added: “But the Little Star Company has been installing signaling posts recently, so the communicator may malfunction.”

Regardless of whether it can be used or not, several people each took one.

 After confirming the contact information, they will allocate manpower.

 The city government is on Sixth Street, and Little Star’s main company is on Sixteenth Street.

“The two sides are so far apart, so we can save some time by splitting up.” Xu Huo said to Wang Ling, “Where are you going?”

 There are only two of them who clearly carry time props here, so it is best to act separately.

“I’m not good at identifying information,” Wang Ling said, “I’ll go to the city government and maybe I can get ready-made files.”

 “I’m with you.” Long Jianfeng said.

“Then Mr. Xu and I will go to Little Star Company.” Meng Wenguang looked at Feng Hui again, “Will you come with us?”

"How about I stay?" Feng Hui said, "What if other players come in?"

The heavy fog makes it difficult to walk around. There must be other players in the city. We can't definitely think that they can't get in. Maybe the whole city has changed.

Meng Wenguang did not agree, and stretched out his long arms to pull him over, "Let's go together. After all, we are high-level players. The company is so big, how can we find two people here?"

After speaking, he said to Yue Rui and Hong Chen: "Be careful yourselves, and hide quickly when you see other players."

Xu Huo looked at the time again and said, "It's already past 12:03. It seems that the other three times on the time tower are after 9:17 at night."

“Be sure to use a recorder to record the process. Regardless of whether we can be contacted, we must be back here at seven o’clock at the latest.”

“We don’t have many recorders left,” Yue Rui reminded.

Recorders are not something that players usually use very often. It is enough to keep two or three. After they came in, they scrapped a few more. In addition, they have to ensure that the previous records are retained, so at least two or three should be kept. Use, considering that it will be used in the future, until 9:17 tonight, they can only put one more recorder outside.

 Xu Huo nodded slightly, "Let's see if we can meet other players on the way. If we do, I'll borrow a few."
