The streets were bustling at night, with several times more people than during the day.
Located underground, 0987 was originally a wealthy businessman's private audio-visual room. Now it's deserted and occupied by the biggest power in Hangzhou, who has opened a bar that only operates at night.
They offer a variety of services, including but not limited to food, movies, clubbing, karaoke, and erotic entertainment, as well as little-known services such as intelligence gathering and arms sales.
As the group approached the door, before they could even hear a sound, someone inside pushed the door open to greet them, and a deafeningly loud, energetic beat suddenly erupted from within.
A man and a woman were belting out loud at the bar, making so much noise it hurt my ears.
Shen Xi waved and pointed to the two people in front of the manager.
The band on the bar was quickly taken off.
In other booths, people were making a ruckus, drinking, and rolling dice.
In the dimly lit environment, under the faint lights, this is a place of extravagance and debauchery.
Before the apocalypse, Jiang Shuyin, a well-behaved girl, only went to a disco once with her roommates during college. It was a simple disco, where they danced on stage until they were drenched in sweat.
At that time, she was wearing an oversized T-shirt and wide-leg pants, feeling both scared and curious about the place.
They booked a large private room upstairs, where they could see everything downstairs.
"The atmosphere isn't the same upstairs. It's more lively downstairs. You guys have fun upstairs, I'm going down."
Yang Kang laughed and cursed, "Those who want to go down, go down. It'll be quieter for the rest of us."
Jiang Shu came to the bar looking for peace and quiet, which made her suspect that he was seriously ill.
As soon as they sat down, the waiter brought out beer, soft drinks, mineral water, and a fruit platter with watermelon and grapes.
Yang Kang looked at the people seated in the circle and smiled: "It seems I'm the oldest here, so I'll take the liberty of drinking the first cup of wine. Once it's thoroughly drunk, everyone else can do as they please."
Liu Xin was clearly good at handling things; as soon as Yang Kang finished speaking, he quickly poured wine for everyone.
Jiang Shuyin took a sip; it was icy cold, but not unpleasant to drink.
Even though it was only 3 degrees Celsius, she didn't stop Xie Yin and Alvin from drinking it.
Yang Kang chatted casually with Shen Xi, while Shen Wei lit a cigarette at the door, took a puff to make sure the smoke wouldn't drift in, and then stood there.
The neon lights above cast a shadow on the left side of his straight nose. He had changed into a new uniform. The elite team was always ready to deal with unexpected events, and the entire team led by Chen Xi had come in uniform.
As the bar became more crowded, the temperature gradually rose by two or three degrees. Chen Wei unbuttoned her top button and then unbuttoned two more buttons, revealing her long neck and exceptionally fair skin under her collarbone.
"Let's drink!" Yang Kang greeted her warmly. Seeing that Jiang Shu's wine cup was half empty, he was about to stand up with the bottle when Chen Xi pressed him down and gave her a new one: "Old Yang, you're already drunk after drinking this much. If you can drink any more, just pour it out. Don't drag me into it if you offend Comrade Jiang."
Just then, the sound of footsteps came from the doorway.
Seven or eight attractive women came in carrying fried chicken in both hands: "These were ordered by the gentlemen below, so we brought them up along with you."
The popcorn chicken tasted good, crispy, fragrant, and slightly spicy. Jiang Shuyin gave one to each person on both sides.
The girls' eyes sparkled, and one of them walked up to her, bent down, and asked, "Miss, may I sit next to you?"
Jiang Shuyin countered with, "Why?"
The beautiful woman hesitated for a moment, then leaned closer to her and said, "I want to drink with you. The rule is that we can't lay a hand on each other, but those people always cause trouble, so I'm trying to win you over."
Jiang Shu tilted her chin slightly, gesturing for her to sit next to her.
The beautiful woman sat close to her, her eyes bright and black when she smiled: "My name is Tian Shuangwei. I've been working here since the shop opened. The boss rescued me on the road. I thought the outside world was just like this, and no one could be trusted. I might as well repay the boss for saving my life."
She speaks skillfully, and her attempts to get close to people are never annoying.
Jiang Shuyin continued chatting with her: "The surname Tian is very rare. I have a best friend whose surname is Tian. You are the second girl I have met with the surname Tian."
Tian Shuangwei covered her mouth and laughed: "In my hometown village, everyone has the surname Tian. My family thinks that having the surname Tian is too rustic. They even asked someone to give me this name."
......
While they were talking, the other beautiful women also found men to accompany them for drinks.
No one dared to sit next to Xie Yin and Alvin.
Shen Xi and Shen Wei directly refused.
Yang Kang scolded them: "Be careful not to suffocate, or I'll get off easy."
He and Liu Xin enjoyed the company of two beautiful women, being fed fried chicken on the left and grapes on the right, living a carefree life.
The tension I usually feel when doing tasks is greatly relieved here.
Jiang Shuyin watched as Xie Yin drank four or five bottles without getting drunk. His thick hair hadn't been trimmed in a long time, and when he lowered his head, it obscured his pair of light black eyes.
Seeing her looking over, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Jiang Shuyin guessed that he was probably immune to alcohol and smiled in response.
He turned his head to the other side, and Alvin hadn't finished a single bottle in front of him.
He sipped it slowly, perhaps because he hadn't tried it before and was still savoring it.
Jiang Shuyin withdrew her gaze, repeated Tian Shuangwei's words, and was about to express her opinion when she heard a muffled groan.
—The silly fish got drunk and passed out.
Jiang Shuyin immediately noticed something was wrong; Alvin's face was flushed, and his pale skin looked like it had been boiled.
She quickly helped the person up and touched their forehead to check their temperature.
Alvin is a marine creature, and its body temperature is more than ten degrees lower than that of a normal person; it feels hot to the touch now.
Something happened.
She said coldly, "There's nothing in this wine, is there?"
The wine was handed over by Chen Xi, who felt it necessary to explain: "It was sealed when it arrived; I just opened the bottle for him."
