Chapter 403 The Stink Attacks(1/2)
Chapter 403 The stench hits
After Ah Hao drove to the lower city with Luke and Blancpain, his brows immediately frowned.
Luke shouted in the back seat: "It smells so smelly! Master, please close the window."
"I've closed it here. You can only shake the window in the back seat by yourself. Did you see the handle under the window?"
"See it!"
Luke turned his handles frantically, and the window immediately rose smoothly, cutting the air out.
However, even though the car windows were all closed, the faint smell still penetrated.
It was a fishy smell, a foul smell mixed with corruption. It was like some creature in heat on the street, splashing urine everywhere to mark the territory, and then immediately died there.
Only when all kinds of dirty and dirty body fluids are mixed together can this extremely uncomfortable smell.
The car drove along the spiral ramp toward the downtown. Not only did the smell not dissipate, but it became more and more obvious.
All the pedestrians on the road used scarves and covered their mouths and noses with their collars, and were walking in a hurry.
The charming red and purple neon lights reflected their faces in great pain.
Blancpain frowned deeply and turned from the co-pilot: "Is the environment in Agadi's downtown so much worse than that in the upper city? Why did I hear that the downtown is the real city that never sleeps before?"
Ah Hao was holding his breath and could only shake his head in a small way and said, "It was not like this before in the downtown. I don't know where the smell came from."
"Vice President, the lower city has at least a bit of alcoholic smell, plus a little powdery smell of inferior perfume. This dog-smelling smell has never been before." Luke pulled the collar between his mouth and nose and said in a muffled voice.
Dog-smelling. Although Luke's words are not elegant, Ah Hao thinks this description is quite accurate.
Ah Hao parked the car to the side of the horizon bar, grabbed the door handle and hesitated for a while: "You will follow me directly later, let's rush to that bar."
"Is the Austro-Fargo Association in the bar?" Blancpain asked curiously.
"Well, at the back door, go in first. Let's go there together now!"
Ah Hao was not ready to explain much, so after opening the car door, he immediately went straight to the bar not far away.
The smell outside the car is even more intense. In addition to the dog smell, there is a faint smell of corpse stinking in the air.
“Wait!”
Ah Hao pushed open the door of the Horizon Bar vigorously, and when the two behind him also came in, he quickly closed the door.
"Ah, I'm saved." Luke walked forward a few more steps, lay on the bar, and began to breathe heavily.
The smell in the bar is much better. Although the smell of the wine is not very good, it is at least much better than outside. Moreover, the Horizon Bar is a famous bar in the downtown area, and the ventilation equipment is quite powerful.
The clean smell kept coming from the fan, and Ahao guessed that the ventilation equipment of this bar should have been transformed by Aofa.
"Go here." Ah Hao and the two of them crossed the bar. The stage, which was always lively in the past, was a little deserted at this moment. Not many people were willing to drink with such a smell.
The three of them came to the hidden backstage passage, and Ah Hao brushed his ring and opened the entrance to the Austral and Law Association.
The Hall of Aufa is "very lively" at this moment. The mechanical dragonflies with flapping their wings are in a mess in the air, and paper planes of various colors are spinning up and down, trying to get around the dragonflies with wings entangled together.
Corresponding to the sky, there are also chaos on the ground.
The hall was filled with complaints from the Omrade.
"It's so stinking!"
"What's going on with this disgusting smell? Is anyone in charge?"
"I found that every time the Star Gate is activated, the downtown will become a little stinky. Is there any connection between the two?!"
"I don't know, but when I came here just now, I almost fainted on the road. I no longer want to enter the association from downtown. I'd better go to uptown to find a 'phone booth' in the future."
"Fortunately, the Austro-Legal Association is not smelly. I decided to go to the library downstairs all night today."
No matter how much I complain, no one from the Austral Law Association responded to this matter head-on, and Austral Master had no choice but to do so. After all, this matter is very strange. No one knows where the source is, and Austral Masters living in the lower city can only find their own solutions.
Ah Hao glanced at the taskbar and saw several tasks similar to [Emergency needed for ventilation equipment], [Whole house odor blockade], and [Search for idle houses in the upper city].
Blancpain curiously visited the scenery of the Austro-Fargo Association along the way, and Luke took the initiative to help introduce him.
Ah Hao turned his head and looked at Blancpain behind him: "Just wait for me in the taskbar. I'll go find Wind now and come to you later."
"Okay." Blancpain stared at the wall covered with tasks for a while, "But can I take these tasks too?"
"You can't, but Luke can. If you like something suitable, let Luke help you take it."
"Yeah." Luke made a reassuring gesture to Ah Hao and began to introduce the mission system of the Austral Law Society to Blancpain.
Ahao walked quickly to the [Action Team Office] on the side of the hall.
Without Wind's leadership, he was not easy to enter. When he was at the door, he was stopped by a female clerk: "Sir, please wait, now you have to show the operation team certificate to enter."
Ah Hao searched through his pocket for a long time and found an expired action team identity card.
That's the temporary player card given to him by [Glow] Guy himself. Unfortunately, it was expired last month.
He could only smile and look at the female clerk: "I'm looking for Wind, Wind Northon of the Operations Team."
"Wind, he is not here." The clerk shook his head directly, "I just saw him going downstairs, you can go downstairs and look for it."
"downstairs?"
Ah Hao narrowed his eyes and thought. Could it be that this guy went to the club to suck fish? It's still an hour away from lunch time, which is indeed a pretty good time to suck fish.
Forget it, it's not reliable to find this guy.
Ah Hao could only continue, "Then I'll find Mike. Wind's captain, Mike. Is he here?"
"Well, here. What's your name? Register here and click here for the ID of the Austral and Fa Association."
After one operation, the aunt clerk, who was as broad as a bucket, moved towards the inner room.
After a while, Mike, who had not seen for a long time, walked out with the clerk.
Mike was wearing a messy brown and blond hair. The stubble on his face was obviously more, making him look a little greasy.
"Ah Hao, long time no see." Mike greeted him, and a smile squeezed out on his haggard face, "If you have something to come to me?"
"Well, there's something that's not very urgent."
"Then go in and talk."
Mike led Ah Hao into the office area, and the clerk no longer obstructed him.
Ah Hao asked with some concern: "What's wrong with you? You look so tired."
"I'm busy." Mike touched the stubble on his face and sighed, "I've been really troublesome lately, and I've had more troubles than each other."
Mike took Ah Hao into his office. After all, he is also a team leader, and his office environment is one line higher than Wende. He has his own small office and does not have to be squeezed into an open public office area.
After soaking a simple cup of tea, Mike began to vomit bitterly.
"Since the Star Gate incident started, the superiors have been asking us to strengthen patrols. After the Starfish Monster incident happened, my overtime intensity began to increase again. After the sewer cult and biological riots, that's not to mention it."
"I've had another stinky mystery recently. I'm really not only having to work overtime during the day, but also not having to sleep well at night. Halfway through the sleep, the smell made me feel sick and I wake up."
Ah Hao keenly captured the key point: "What is biological riots? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"Ahem." Mike suddenly coughed twice, his eyes becoming dodged, "Hey, I didn't seem to say it, did you hear it wrong?"
Mike obviously didn't want to say it, so Ah Hao immediately changed the topic: "Do you know the reason for the stinky thing? I smelled it just now, and the whole downtown seemed to be very smelly."
Mike seemed to recall the smell and slapped his hand with disgust: "I don't know, but I suspect someone is slaughtering stray animals. It must be a group of madmen.
"I have received the above investigation instructions for this matter. Sooner or later, I have to figure out the origin of this task. However, this task is also troublesome and no one wants to do it."
"Wend just fled downstairs to write his investigation report on "Men Skin Missing Case". I don't know if he really found clues or just made excuses to fool me."
Ah Hao smiled and thought to himself that Wende had taken the opportunity well.
Mike shook his head and sighed: "Help, will this life fall on my head, right? If I want to investigate this matter myself, then I really want to engrave a miserable word on my forehead."
Ah Hao was worried about the amulet of magical powers and was afraid that Luke and the others would wait outside for a long time, so he snapped his fingers and interrupted Mike: "Tell me back, if you help solve my problem, maybe you don't need to worry about the stinky case."
"Oh?" Mike leaned forward with interest, "I'm sorry to be talking about me. What's wrong with you?"
"In fact, there is a extraordinary city over Elak who has been invaded by mysterious people. Some survivors are running to Agadi to seek help."
Ah Hao made a long story short and shared the story about Cartero with Mike.
"Wow, then this is really big." Mike was shocked for a while, as if he was digesting the news brought by Ah Hao.
"You say it again, what did that person named Blancpain want to come?"
"They want to communicate with the Austro-Factory Association in the name of the Alchemy Association. The main thing is to sell some things, and anyone can participate. After contacting, they should also want to purchase a large amount of supplies to rebuild Catero."
"Alchemist, communication, supplies." Mike unconsciously knocked on the table with his knuckles, revealing a meditative expression.
"This matter is very important, and to be honest, it should be under the jurisdiction of the International Austria-Faste Cooperation Department. But that's it."
"The person who summoned the void is likely to be the person who attacked the Star Gate. As long as there is this reason, our operation team may be able to join in one shot. And Cartero doesn't mind more support, right?"
"That's sure."
Mike knocked on the table: "Then let's do it first. I'll report to Captain Guy what you said. You can help bring the Blancpain to me now, okay?"
Mike looked at Ah Hao with some pleas mixed with: "He's facing him outside? Go quickly, don't let someone take the lead."
