Chapter 46 The Noisy City

“Say hello to the world – warmly celebrate the smooth progress of the first cross-city visit.”

"Welcome to intercity visitors to our city."

"All technicians from the East Outer Ring District extended their sincere greetings to the visitors."

Within three days, the welcome banners filled the streets and alleys of the city. The entire sky city was immersed in unusual excitement, as lively as a festival. Students suspended classes, factories suspended production, and streets and alleys were filled with excited people. At the call of the city hall, these people arranged the city colorfully as quickly as possible, which was a treatment that had never been seen in decades. Over the years, the threat of machinery has been hanging high above the residents' heads. Production and research units have long been accustomed to the continuous working habits of working in three shifts. Even after the invasion of the machinery, they resumed work the next day. The suspension of classes and production were never thought of. No one expected that the city hall would have had three days off for this matter, leaving only the duty personnel in the necessary positions to ensure the normal operation of the city.

Colorful flags were filled with the streets, and rare flowers were lined up along the main road to the entrance of the city hall. Two days in advance, the main road had already been on the three steps, one stairs and one whistle. In principle, no one was allowed to pass, just to ensure that the arrangement of welcoming VIPs would not be destroyed.

This is an unprecedented event. What does the first cross-city visit mean? In fact, most people do not understand it very much, but even the ignorant people can think of it. It can be seen from the attitude of the city hall that the city leaders attach great importance to it.

However, unlike the blinded people, senior officials from all walks of life know the inside story. They know very well that they are not greeting intercity visitors. Although it is rare to have a first intercity visit, they are not so mobilized. The problem is that this time they are receiving a big man who has truly crossed the border and a visitor from another world. This major event that is enough to change the entire racial worldview is worthy of this level of attention.

Of course, it is impossible to tell the truth to ordinary people. The negotiations have not yet begun and the subsequent response measures have not been determined. No one can estimate the consequences of directly publishing the truth. It is not ruled out that it will cause large-scale turmoil in the closed environment of Sky City. Therefore, the senior management only gave up the rhetoric of intercity visits. Although this was also sensational, it was not so exaggerated. Even if there was nothing in the end, the people would not collapse due to the gap between hope and disappointment, at least there was room for buffering.

In fact, the senior management was also very troubled by this negotiation. Since the Black Market President passed the information to the senior management of various forces four days ago, all senior management personnel have not slept for a few hours. Not only the senior management personnel of this city, but the senior management controllers of hundreds of senior management of the Sky City have maintained a similar state. The duration of long-distance graphics communication for three days is longer than what has been done in previous decades. The transmission signal interacts back and forth between cities. Many faces that have not seen several times in decades communicate in depth with each other through wireless signals. Before the influence of travelers in another world broke out, the daily order of the planet has changed, at least greatly promoted the interaction between the senior management of the city, which is also a surprise.

The busy senior management, excited citizens, guards, and the joyful city are filled with festive atmosphere. For most people, the celebration is no longer important. The focus has shifted to the celebration. Having the opportunity to forget the huge psychological pressure and celebrating it lively is also a big event that is hard to come by in life. How can you not devote yourself to it?

So, they were fully engaged and did not notice that a few strange guys would occasionally sneak into the streets shrouded in the joyful atmosphere.

As the direct cause of the change, the shadow-seekers have no consciousness at all. They are like things have nothing to do with themselves. They wander around the city for three days, and occasionally appear in various strange places. Most people are ignorant of them, treating them as ordinary urban residents and do not pay special attention, but there are always some special people. After seeing them, their faces change drastically. Soon after, a large number of city guards will appear in this block, and then they will become orderly. Not to mention the friction between people, even a few loud arguments will not happen.

There is no doubt that the appearance of these guards must have followed the shadow chasers. The superior's order does not allow interference with their normal activities, but the order around these people must be maintained to the best. Of course, this is not to protect the shadow chasers. In the eyes of senior officials, these guys who can create city-level disasters in laughter are monsters that are stronger than machinery. How can they need protection? What they are worried about is the city and residents. If any idiot who can't think of it annoys them, it will be difficult to end, just like the military has done before. After finally suppressing the influence, the senior officials do not want to have another larger-scale tour of the zombie around the city. Although the shadow chasers had obviously shown mercy before, all the dead were successfully resurrected. The problem is that this kind of thing is too curious and it is a torture for the living.

As a result, those guards who were ignorant of the inside became the hardest-working people. The shadow-seekers were elusive and went wherever they wanted. They had to follow the enemy all the way to prevent all hidden dangers. The target was the enemy not long ago, providing 22-hour protection throughout the day. Well, protecting the ignorant citizens. Such an experience is simply torture for the guards, and only the quality of soldiers can support them to persevere.

Fortunately, the target did not seem so inhumane. At the beginning, the guard members were careful to hide their existence, not only not allowing the people around to notice anything strange, but also striving not to let the follower's targets notice it. But soon they discovered that their efforts were simply a joke. In front of these targets, it seemed that there was no such thing as secret, and no matter how secretly followed, they could not hide their sight.

Especially the closest groups of guards, no matter how well they hide or how cleverly they disguise, there is no confusion effect. When shadow-tracking players wander around, they will throw away several bottles of drinks or some snacks to the guards who take turns to follow each other according to the number of people. This is the harvest they get when they wander around the streets. Especially after eating in the restaurant, they will come out to deliver the guards with a bag of packed food to the guards who follow them. No matter where the guards are hiding, in cars, buildings, or on the trees in the landscape, even if the guards are hiding in the sewer several times, a man in black will knock on the lid of the sewer and send the food down with a smile.

So, a day later, the guards finally gave up trying. They no longer had any hope of hiding their behavior in front of the target. They simply followed around the target openly, just focus on avoiding the attention of ordinary people and save some energy.

But what is hateful is that after they did this, the food and drinks that were delivered on time and in a fixed amount were not delivered. Not only did they not deliver them, but they followed them, and after every target consumption, they could find a way to get the guards to pay for them. This made the guards grit their teeth with hatred. Even if the superiors would reimburse the expenses, they would feel quite frustrated.

However, unfortunately, Shuer didn't care about their grievances. To be precise, the shadow-seekers didn't care at all whether there were these guards.

The first step of the plan has been completed, and they no longer need to take secret actions. What everyone needs to do now is to visit around happily under the leadership of Delia, and experience the customs and customs that are completely different from Pavatiga. As long as it does not affect their activities, let alone a group of military guards, it doesn’t matter if the whole city is following. It’s better if there are people to protect them. At least there is no need to worry about Delia who has no self-protection ability to be hurt.

Shuer held the girl's hand and wandered around the alley. In the past few days, Delia almost took everyone to eat all over the city. The little girl was extremely excited. She used to only look at high-end restaurants that she couldn't even imagine from a distance. She went in and out freely every day. She could eat any expensive food on the menu. Fresh artificial meat, sweet artificial dairy products, and even the legendary artificial seafood that melts into the mouth. In three days, the little guy almost gained weight, which made her very distressed. If this continues, her previous clothes would soon be unable to wear them. In desperation, the little guy had to make the painful decision to control his diet.

After playing for three days, everyone was a little bored. After all, this is just an artificial city, without any natural landscape, shopping is meaningless, and taking Delia with it is not convenient to enter and exit some strange entertainment venues. Well, it is not convenient to not take Delia with it. Four ladies and three poor men in seven people would be better off being more peaceful if they do not want to be publicly condemned. Therefore, everyone soon lost their nature. Fortunately, on the evening of the third day, everyone was about to return to Delia's hut and planned to go to the outskirts of the city to have a breeze the next day, a few strangers in black suits appeared at the end of the alley.

As soon as the stranger appeared, several guards came out from the surrounding path. However, after a few quick conversations, the guards quickly retreated and allowed the stranger to continue standing at the entrance of the alley.

"Praise the Dark Moon, may the Moon of Light bless you, brothers from the Black Market." Shuer greeted him with the professional smile of the priest, "I wonder what good news you have brought to us this time?"

"Mr. Shuer."

"Hmm? You are the President. Your body is much more normal than the one before." Shuer was stunned and regained his smile. He looked at the slender president and said, "Since you are here in person, the meeting time must have been decided."

"At 9 o'clock the day after tomorrow, I wonder if Mr. Shuer can leave a few hours?"

"Of course, we're bored anyway."

"Then, at 8 o'clock the next morning, the welcome vehicles will welcome several people at Miss Delia's door on time." The president paused and said, "This time is a global video conference. I hope there will be a result that both parties will be satisfied with."
