Chapter 265. Haidu Subway (1)

Jiang Jianxin approved Chang Yingxue's application, and the latter sent a message almost instantly:

[Chang Yingxue]: This humble servant greets the elder. How do you look today?
He was indeed the Grand Eunuch, as the very first sentence conveyed the air of a chief eunuch.

Jiang Jianxin thought he should respect the prevailing societal norms, so he braced himself and replied:

[Jiang Jianxin]: Uh, I'm in pretty good spirits. I'm a new elder named Jiang Jianxin, and we'll be working together from now on.

She had barely uttered that opening statement, before she could even finish her sentence, when the other end replied swiftly:

[Chang Yingxue]: Yes, this humble servant greets the elder!
Jiang Jianxin stared at the word "promise" on the screen, feeling as if he had been transported to ancient times and become the emperor, giving orders to Xiao Changzi beside him.

She stared at the line of text, her scalp tingling as she thought about what to say next.

Although Jiang Jianxin had watched many period dramas while lying in his dormitory bed when he was a college student, the female leads in those dramas were all princesses and noblewomen, and he had never seen any of them become eunuchs.

How to communicate seamlessly with the chief eunuch without interfering with his understanding is clearly a problem.

Jiang Jianxin stared at the chat box for a long time, unable to come up with anything, and finally chose to contact Xie Yan:

[Jiang Jianxin]: Hiss... In our History Department, is there anyone who can speak normally?

[Jiang Jianxin]: [Sweating and yellow face] I just added a senior manager and was about to have a deeper chat with her, but she replied with a "yes" - I felt a bit too immersed in the conversation and it was a little awkward. I wonder if there is a manager who is easier to communicate with.

After waiting for about three or four minutes, Xie Yan replied to her:
[Xie Yan]: The person in charge of the original group communicates very well, but she recently entered the contaminated area and lost signal, so she can't contact you.

[Xie Yan]: Elder Jiang can wait for the head of the modern group; he can communicate without any problems.

Jiang Jianxin saw Xie Yan's message and then browsed the backstage area.

The head of the modern team has not yet submitted an application.

But she wasn't in a hurry.

Besides handing over the affairs of the Fools' Society, Jiang Jianxin also had other important matters to attend to recently, namely—buying a house in Haidu.

She had been staying at the flood control office because she felt she wouldn't stay in Haidu for long.

But after entering the Fools' Society, Xie Yan told her that the Fools' Society did not have a base like the War Alliance, but only some outposts for everyone to gather.

When they don't meet on weekdays, everyone lives their own lives, and some of the Fools who can communicate normally with the outside world even have a second job.

Because the world is in chaos now, Xie Yan plans to open a new base in Haidu, and she has been busy with this matter lately.

Jiang Jianxin was considering that if the Fool's Society's base was located in Haidu, he would definitely have to stay there for a long time.

Yin Ju didn't mind staying at the flood control office, but the tents by the river were damp and small, and didn't feel like home at all.

Jiang Jianxin felt he needed to buy himself a house as a place to settle down.

Seeing that the person in charge of the modern group had not yet submitted an application, she put down her phone for the time being and took out the map that Xiao Zhang had given her last time.

The flood control office is stationed in the Cangjiang River basin, which is south of Haidu. To the north lies a den of iniquity, and at the end of this decadent world is the Binhai Talent Academy, which stands in the center.

Further north of Binhai Academy lies the organ park and medical device factory under Black Pupil Pharmaceuticals. Jiang Jianxin doesn't plan to go north. If he wants to live in the south, the best option is to buy a house in the Binhai Talent Academy school district.

These school district properties are close to the college, making them safer and more reliable, and the neighborhood is also very friendly. The only downside is that they are too expensive.

But this was not a problem for Jiang Jianxin at all.

She picked up her phone and looked at the map, deciding to go and see what residential areas were available before deciding which one to buy a house in.

It's within walking distance from the flood control office to the Xiaojinku (a gambling den), but walking to the Binhai Talent Academy is a bit far.

Jiang Jianxin stared at the map, pondering which route to fly along, when his intuition suddenly told him:

Do not fly towards the Coastal Talent Academy. There's a television control tower hidden in the shadows of this den of iniquity; you might be being scanned and tracked.

Upon seeing this sentence, Jiang Jianxin was slightly startled.

[The TV station's... control tower?]

Intuition replied:
Yes, those are the signal stations they use to relay communication signals. Besides transmitting signals, these stations also scan and cover the surrounding area.

The exact reason is hard to say, but in short—don't use your sword to fly from the tower.

Jiang Jianxin suddenly remembered something and said:

Was I detected when I flew downstream along the Cangjiang River last time?

Intuition stirred:

[The area around the flood control office is fine. Polluted areas can interfere with the tower's signal. There's a polluted area downstream of the Cangjiang River, and the signals along that river and the surrounding watershed will be affected.]

Although it has now collapsed, the interference has only weakened, not disappeared, until the ruins are completely destroyed.

Jiang Jianxin felt slightly relieved, then frowned and asked:
But this is such a long road, if I don't use my sword to travel it, am I supposed to walk it?

Intuition answered with just three concise and straightforward words:
[Take the subway.]

【? 】

Jiang Jianxin thought that the subway in Haidu would be unusable after the apocalypse, but his intuition told him that the Haidu subway seemed to still be working normally.

Driven by a desire to verify, she opened her phone again and asked the artificial intelligence about the vortex:
"Yu, Yu, is the Haidu subway still operating normally?"

Ayu replied very quickly:

"Of course, Rose Transportation took over major transportation lines after the apocalypse, including the Haidu Metro."

"The Haidu Metro is currently open for business and you can ride it for a fee."

Hearing that there was a subway, saving him the trouble of walking, Jiang Jianxin was very happy:
"Could you please provide navigation to the Haidu subway station from here?"

"Okay, administrator."

Ayu replied.
