Chapter 361: Chapter 314: Accident (Five-in-One)_2

"Shoot, I forgot there’s a checkpoint here. Am I going to be exposed?"

Mikos said anxiously.

"This is trouble, they’re conducting a search!"

"Su Ming, should we turn back?"

...

Zhang Yi and the others tensed up immediately.

"It’s too late!"

Su Ming said, then stepped on the brakes and stopped the car inside the box-shaped checkpoint.

Thud, thud!

A bald, burly man in charge of the inspection knocked on the car window without any courtesy.

Su Ming promptly rolled down the window.

At that moment, Zhang Yi and the others tensed their muscles, ready to act at a moment’s notice from Su Ming.

"ID!"

The burly man demanded bluntly.

Su Ming pulled open the storage compartment next to him and took out a vehicle ID to hand over to the man.

The burly man took the ID that Su Ming handed over, and irritably said,

"What’s this?"

Su Ming said nothing, only extended his hand and tapped on the ID with his fingers.

The bald man opened the vehicle ID with confusion and saw two ten thousand Federation Coin bills tucked inside.

The bald man quickly pulled out the money, returned the ID to Su Ming, and then waved his hand saying,

"Go, go, go!"

Su Ming raised the window, started the car, and drove into the city.

"Wow, that worked?"

Zhang Yi and the others said, somewhat dumbfounded.

"What’s wrong with that? Don’t panic in situations like this. Anything that can be solved with money isn’t a problem."

Su Ming calmly instructed Zhang Yi and the others.

"Awesome!"

Zhang Yi and the others all gave a thumbs up. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Just then, they entered the city through the gateway.

At that moment, Mikos said to Su Ming,

"After this gateway, we’re in the city!"

"Where do we go to find those three seniors?"

"The last time they sent a message, they told me they were staying at the Red Light Street·Gray Noise Inn."

"I see."

Su Ming tapped on the electronic screen a few times and quickly located the Gray Noise Inn—it wasn’t very far.

As the car passed through the gateway, the vista suddenly opened up.

Dense steel buildings and glaring neon lights came into view.

Along the roadside, bars and clubs with vibrant lights occupied each building, where ultra-realistic holographic images projected on the walls displayed the dance of sultry women.

On the street corners, a group of youths gathered, smoking synthetic cigarettes, exhaling smoke, their rebellious gazes sweeping over the passersby.

And in the street corners, addicts curled up, pale and thin, their bodies trembling constantly.

Under the neon lights stood scantily clad women with heavy makeup, calling out to passersby with mechanical prosthetics and tattoos all over their bodies.

The entire city displayed a kind of diseased prosperity!

"Wow, it’s so bustling? What’s going on? If you didn’t know, you’d think we were in the Royal City."

Zhang Yi looked around and exclaimed.

"This city’s nearby mines produce a novel type of mineral material called ’Fluorite,’ which can be used as an additive to greatly enhance the performance of mechanical equipment! And it’s because of this mineral that this city has become unprecedentedly prosperous."

Mikos explained to Su Ming and the others.

"Uh-huh."

Su Ming nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

...

An hour later, Su Ming drove to Red Light Street.

He spotted the Gray Noise Inn from afar and then drove the car to the side of the street next to the inn.

Su Ming glanced in the rear-view mirror; there were only the main lanes behind the vehicle with a few motorcycles passing by, no one on the edge lanes.

So, Su Ming opened the car door to get out.

But just then, a piercing roar came. A youth wearing a leather jacket and with seaweed-green hair, riding a motorcycle, came close and fiercely kicked the just-opened car door!

Bang!

The just-opened car door was violently kicked shut.

"Wow!"

A group of spirited young men and women riding motorcycles came along,

They shouted excitedly as they kicked the cab door, and then sped away.

"Damn!"

Su Ming frowned deeply, watching after those guys.

He saw those motorcycling youths quickly turn into the pedestrian path.

Then the seaweed-haired youth stretched out his hand and slapped it on the buttocks of a sexy, voluptuous woman carrying a bag.

"Son of a bitch!"

The woman immediately exploded in anger, swinging her bag.

The motorcycling youths that followed swiftly grabbed the woman’s bag from her hand and sped off.

Su Ming watched this scene and took a deep breath to calm his agitated heart.

However, Ankaga and the others were provoked and began cursing,

"Damn! If it weren’t for being on a mission, I’d definitely go down there and beat them up!"

"That’s right, I would beat them to death!"

"They’re really lawless."

...

"Cool it, it’s just a minor issue!"

Su Ming said calmly to Ankaga and the others.

"It’s just infuriating, Mr. Mikos, has it always been this chaotic here?"

"Yeah, how did your lab survive here before?"

...

Zhang Yi and the others curiously asked.

Given the current level of chaos, they thought it was all too normal for the lab to be attacked.

"No, no, before it got out of control, although it was also chaotic, it wasn’t this exaggerated, and there was some order! Plus, we had the protection of the Awahog Kingdom before, but ever since the Imperial Army invaded and the Federation began a large-scale withdrawal, the Awahog Kingdom stopped caring about us. When the incident happened, I did seek them out."

Mikos explained to Zhang Yi.

"I see."
