On the other side, a few hours before the "engineering team" arrived——
The camera was shaking, and as Sherk moved, a few drops of dirty water splashed onto the camera.
The lighting in the picture is not clear either, after all, this is a sewer.
Two hours had passed since Sherk entered the sewer. During this time, Weiwei contacted the construction team to repair her office, but the team said they would not be back until 10 a.m.
——Even the mayor can’t make them work overtime.
Weiwei turned her head away angrily. At this time, the flashlight shone on the wall of the sewer, clearly showing the inhuman claw marks.
The underground of Gotha is a complete maze.
All kinds of messy garbage exuded a foul smell and floated in the darkness with the water. From time to time, rats squeaked and slipped away from the other side. Sherk waded through the water for hundreds of meters and did not find any trace of human corpses.
It seems that her second body floated away with the water. Weiwei checked and found that according to the direction of the water flow, all garbage will flow towards the seaside. The large ones will be directly processed by the garbage station on the seaside, crushed and filtered, or poured into concrete, or become part of the mud and sand. Everything is directly controlled by machines... I guess corpses can also be considered large garbage?
Seeing that the body could not be found for the time being, Weiwei put the matter aside for the time being - after all, the dead unknown female corpse had nothing to do with Mayor Gotan.
However, during this period, this hardworking secretary still brought her a lot of other clues, all of which turned into tasks.
for example--
[Side Quest: Scarlet Nursery Rhymes]
[The nursery rhyme written in blood on the wall is half corroded "Owl... Travel... Gotan... Claws...", complete the content of the nursery rhyme, which may help you activate the new character card]
[Side Quest: Paw Prints in the Sewer]
[Take a look at the claw marks on the wall. It seems that some large creature has left traces of life here. You need to know what happened. This may help you activate the new character card.]
And her greatest achievement——
[Main quest activated: Urban building system - underground]
[Gotan has a long history, and its underground drainage and sewage system has been in operation for hundreds of years. After countless repairs, countless loopholes have been left. Over the years, both criminals and city vigilantes have fought underground, built illegal buildings underground, and escaped underground. There are countless such non-compliant behaviors... They have ignored the real needs of Gotan citizens for sewers, and you need to change everything]
[Description: Start with a more efficient, better draining, and better planned construction drawing]
【Mission (1): Underground Map】
[Explore every fork in the road and complete the map of the underground of Gotham. This is Gotham, and nothing is beyond the control of the mayor]
[Mission Reward: New Gotan Sewer Construction Drawing x1, Mysterious Gift Pack Reward]
Good guys, the infrastructure mission is finally available.
By completing this series of tasks, she might be able to improve both [City Security] and [City Prosperity], but it was clear that this was also a series of tasks that would become increasingly difficult...
But will players back off just because the mission is difficult?
Less than 1% of the underground map had been opened up. Weiwei first called back Sherk, who was tired and hungry. It was obvious that asking an NPC who specialized in paperwork to do physical exploration work was like eating too much. She had to think of a more efficient way.
After a night of hard work, the sun had already risen and the employees had returned to work. Sherk tidied himself up and ate something to fill his hungry stomach.
It was a rare sunny day in Gotan today. When he pushed the door open, the mayor was standing with his arms in his sleeves in front of the reinforced wall, staring at the big hole not far away. From time to time, other employees passed by and looked at this surprising situation with their heads tilted.
Sherk frowned and drove them away, then straightened his tie and poured coffee for the mayor before Millie could do anything.
After a night, Millie came back to work and found that she suddenly had nothing to do: "..."
However, Weiwei didn't notice their eye contact; she was looking at the map.
Weiwei knew that there were many red names throughout the city of Gotan, even in the City Hall. Almost all of those in the City Hall were like the [Penguin Man's Traitor] last night, who had only sneaked into the security team, a total of eleven people.
As for clerical work, there was only one person, Sherk, and of course, the latter was now her man.
...This may be a problem of basic education in Gotham City. After all, not everyone can become the secretary-general and do clerical work.
She got along well with these red names. She guessed it was because the missions they received were lurking rather than assassination. Considering what happened last night - possibly including the subtle chaos when the mayor gave orders, they really hated her, and her natural favorability seemed to be negative.
Weiwei believed that as long as the penguin people gave them orders, she would have to deal with one more corpse.
It's not the mayor's job to deal with corpses.
We have to find a way to deal with these unscheduled bombs.
And now, Weiwei thought, the solution could be delivered to her on its own initiative——
on the map.
Four red dots and one green dot were crammed into a speeding construction vehicle, heading towards the City Hall.
[Construction worker·僞(Black Mask's men)][Construction worker·僞(Black Mask's men)]
[Temporary worker (student of Gotan College)] [Construction worker/assassin (killer)]
[Construction worker·僞 (a small boss under Black Mask)]
The poor student surrounded by four red dots is weak and helpless. Before removing the red dots, she must ensure the safety of innocent students.
After all, all the green names are her reserve employees who will provide her with taxes in the future and provide her with jobs in the present - can she expect the red names to build walls?
Two younger brothers sat in the first row and one drove the car.
The small leader under the Black Mask sat in the last row. The three of them had been careful when getting on the bus to ensure that if any accidents happened, the other two "non-insiders" would be attacked by them.
After Deadshot and Peter got in the car, they paid more attention to Deadshot.
The man was very strong and obviously not someone to be trifled with. He also seemed to have a bad temper. The boy who got on the bus later seemed to have little work experience. Whether it was work or "work", he looked like a good kid in school.
——If you meet gangsters like these, you can probably be knocked down with just one punch.
The main purpose of the three men bringing these two people along was to provide them with a little more security when sneaking into the City Hall.
Simply put, when the three people are suspected during the operation, the other two original employees of the "engineering team" can dispel suspicion by scanning their faces, and when necessary, the two innocent citizens can become the closest hostages.
Taking these reasons into consideration, they did not fight and knock down the other two as soon as they got on the car, but lay low for the time being.
As for Deadshot... he noticed something was wrong as soon as he got in the car.
His years of experience as a hired killer made him more sensitive. He deduced something was wrong from the temperament of several people. The three people driving the car were clearly in a group. The man sitting in the back seat had a gun in his hand, but he was obviously not a good shooter, not to mention the two people in the front seat - but Peter made him take a second look when he got in the car.
This is a young man with a rather contradictory temperament. He is obviously incompatible with Gotan. He is not a Gotan person and has never been involved in darkness. Although the statement of "temporary worker" is a high degree of coincidence, it is very likely that he is just hiding something.
When he mentioned the City Hall, his attitude was a little too positive, as if he wanted to do something secretly...
Deadshot: This kid...
I'm afraid he's not a reporter!
Peter certainly had the temperament of a journalist, lively and curious, but he just suppressed his desires for the time being. Maybe he was doing an internship at the Gotham Daily and wanted to make a big news story, then everything would make sense.
"laugh."
This car is really funny, three gangsters, a world-class killer, and a rookie reporter, the only Death Shooter who (thinks he) has seen it all, but there is not a single real construction worker.
However, this is not a bad thing.
Close-range assassinations are far more dangerous than long-range sniping, and a chaotic situation will increase his safety as a killer.
As for Peter, he hid one hand in his oversized coat and blindly typed a message to Tim on his cell phone.
After getting in the car, he realized that he was a little impulsive. Gotan was not the New York he was familiar with, so it would be better to report to Tim first.
Amid the different thoughts of the three groups of people, the construction vehicle finally arrived at the gate of the City Hall.
They were going to go through the first test, but the new mayor had just arrived and his prestige was not high, and the people doing the test at the door were perfunctory, so they were let in easily without even checking whether the face under the helmet matched the ID card.
The entire city hall is quite large, with an outer wall enclosing the buildings inside. Their car will be driven to the west gate of the complex for temporary parking.
The little leader frowned, but looking at the patrol team not far away, he suppressed his impatience and moved the tools down. They passed by the guards while carrying the tools.
Deadshot frowned: As a killer who had twice carried out sniping at a nearby location, and because of the failure of the first time, he put aside his arrogance and spent a little more time observing the City Hall. Naturally, he understood the number and frequency of patrols.
The number of patrolmen did not increase due to the shooting, but decreased instead.
It may seem like a lot to others, but he is experienced and soon realizes that the patrol team has only narrowed the scope of their patrols, but the overall number of people has decreased.
Perhaps it was to increase the frequency of patrols and change shifts more often? He could only guess.
Along the way, the person who was most nervous while moving the equipment and paid no attention to his colleagues or the patrol guards was the temporary worker Peter Parker.
He feels a little...guilty.
But the four people around him were all experienced construction workers, so it should be okay. They wouldn't notice that he was a temporary worker who had sneaked in, right? He tried to straighten his body, trying to make himself look stronger so that he wouldn't stand out among them.
However, what you fear will come true——
"Kid?" A lady in her twenties, wearing a white striped uniform and holding a cup of coffee, was standing on the steps that they had to pass by. "I've been waiting for a long time. Why are you so slow?"
Peter: “?”
The lady smiled and threw Peter a shy wink: "Come to my place, as we agreed... put your things down, no, take them with you..."
She said meaningfully, "Maybe it will be useful."
Feeling the slightly strange and ambiguous gazes from others, Peter was stunned for a moment, and then realized what this meant, and his face instantly turned red.
Wait, no—
It's not what you think!
