The Sabbath Chapter 273: The female Crewe who was startled
It was January 27, 355 in the Chaotic Calendar, the first day after Sky City's largest annual shopping festival "126 (January 26)". The number "126" in the common language of the city sounds the same as "shopping", so the smart merchants turned this festival into a shopping carnival in Sky City!
Every year after "126", the courier outlets all over the sky city will burst their warehouses, and there is no room to put them in the warehouse. A small box that can hold a ring, and an oxygen cage that is big enough to hold a beast. It can be said that there are no packages that can surprise the couriers.
Even in this era, couriers are still an industry that has not been cancelled. It can be said that this is a very magical era. Obviously, technology has been highly developed, and almost all the things that people imagined in the past have been invented, such as virtual Games, such as making stars, such as space gates, are highly developed in technology, and mechanical products are naturally highly developed. When necessary, people can use various exquisite mechanical substitutes to replace unusable body parts and parts. These mechanical substitutes are lifelike and functional. It is comprehensive, and it is almost possible to distinguish the real from the fake. It stands to reason that this is already a society with highly developed machinery, but——
The use of robots in this era is very unpopular.
People can replace their bodies with mechanical bodies, but they do not support the replacement of manpower by machines, and even highly restrict the development of intelligent machines.
Of course there is a reason for this: after all, in a certain period of history in the tower, the mechanical life was once highly prosperous, and it was so prosperous that it posed a great threat to the humans in the tower. Artificial intelligence is strictly limited.
So, in this era, many types of jobs have not been cancelled, on the contrary, many have become more prosperous.
One hundred and seventy-eight-year-old John is a courier.
As a "middle-aged man" who has met the retirement age (he firmly does not consider himself an old man), he can actually receive a city pension to live by, without having to work, and receiving money including money on time every month All kinds of benefits, including various benefits, and various entertainment activities arranged by Star City for free at any time, his retirement life should have been more nourishing than when he was at work.
But he is unwilling to retire.
His muscular body has been trained by carrying packages all the year round. He has been secretly photographed by reporters since he was young. Even though he is old now, his eyesight is not good, but his muscles are still very good. Reporting or something, he likes his current physical labor very much, and he intends to keep doing it as long as his body allows.
Today is no exception.
The "126" period is the busiest time of year. As an experienced courier, Old John has already made preparations.
He planned to send out the express delivery first.
When he came back after locking the door, he didn't realize that there were more couriers outside at all. He put the large and small packages into the compartment one by one according to the shape, and saw him carrying them quickly. He actually packed all the packages into the carriage! Neat!
This is the knowledge of couriers
Fixed the carriage door, Old John hummed and started the car.
He has already checked the batch of couriers outside, and they are all sent to the same star city. The next thing he needs to do is to send these couriers to the port.
Humming and playing music all the way, Old John, who didn't know anything, drove to the port with the key evidence that several groups of people were eagerly looking for.
Old John carried the evidence to the back of a space jumper.
The front side is extremely lively at this time, passengers are landing one after another with their luggage, but in the inconspicuous place on the back side, the space jumper has also opened a small door, and Old John is familiar with the way. The path went around and stopped just in front of this small door.
"Old John!" A loud voice came from inside the door.
The sound sounds very close, but no one can be seen inside the door! The door was empty, and the sound seemed to appear out of thin air!
When most people see this scene, they are a little timid, and they are probably startled. However, Old John did not rush, jumped out of the car, and opened the compartment door. people say hello.
"Hey, old Blue!"
As he said, he moved the outermost express box to the door, and as his position moved, the owner with a loud voice appeared inside the door:
There are two transparent wings on the back, and there are golden veins like leaves on them. She is small and wears delicate clothes. She looks like an elf in a fairy tale
This is a Crewe!
However, unlike the young Crewes that Ronggui had seen, this Crewe looked a little old. Although his body was in good shape, and he even had muscles, his face also had wrinkles.
"How much is the goods this time? We have tried our best to make room, but the space is still limited. I don't know if we can fit it in." The figure is too petite, and the Crewe, known as "Old Blue", has tried his best Helped Old John pull the package, but I also know that his little strength is basically no different from no strength.
These parcels were finally moved in by Old John.
When Old John moved things in, more Crewes appeared inside, men and women, all of whom were well-dressed. Except for Old Blue before, the rest of the Crewes were quite young, but look Apparently, they were no strangers to Old John. When they saw Old John coming in, these young Crewes greeted him with smiles.
"Hello, Nini! Tommy, you seem to be getting taller! Jenna" Old John is no stranger to these Crewes. It's hard to know that there are so many Crewes, but he can even call them by name!
While chatting with the young man, Old John was carrying the courier. Just like in the carriage, he also arranged the packages neatly here.
However, as the old Bru said, the space here is really limited. As the packages are put in one by one, the original space is blocked layer by layer. Crewes are small and can pass freely. Old John backed away step by step, and when the last express box was placed, he could only stand at the door and talk to the Crewe people.
"Pay according to the volume. The volume of this express delivery is 1508 quapics that I should pay you." Old John calculated the accounts skillfully.
"Don't make odds, just 1500!" Old Bru waved his hand and wiped the zero for Old John.
"Okay!" Old John didn't hesitate, took out his residence permit and "docked" with Old Blue's ID, and he immediately transferred the money to Old John's card.
"This jumper is going to open, we will close the door now!" Putting the card away, Old Blue waved to Old John, the small door slowly closed, and the faces of Crewe disappeared in front of Old John .
Quickly manage the door of the compartment, Old John quickly drove the car away from the space jumper. Not long after, the space jumper took off. Looking back, there are about one-third of the express boxes, Old John Not in a hurry, he continued humming, and drove towards the back door of another space jumper by the pier.
What happened just now is actually another small business of these Crewe people on the space jumper besides selling food: they will use their living space to help couriers deliver things!
But how big can they live? The things that can be transported are also very limited, not to mention that for them, the space jumper is their home, they can be careful about the things they transport, and they even bought advanced detectors, and only dare to put in the things that have been tested without any problems! In addition, they secretly pay taxes.
Doing illegal things so well, this, this
The management staff of the space jumper simply continued to turn a blind eye.
In short, the price of the goods transported by the Crewes on the space jumper is only one-fifth of the official channel. The employees will either sneak or openly take care of the business of the Crewe people. If the Crewe people can't eat it, they will ship it through official channels.
Old John immediately took the rest of the cargo to other space jumpers to find other Crewes.
It's such a coincidence! The "stolen goods" that were abandoned by the robbers before his car were all put into the previous space jumper by him!
So, before the emergency notice was issued, Ronggui's body and other evidence left in the Crewe courier of the space jumper.
——
In the dim mechanical tunnel, the color of metal is everywhere, and there are winding lines everywhere. Obviously, here is the interior of a large machine.
It stands to reason that this place should be cold, and it is not surprising that it is full of dust. After all, people only need the machine to run smoothly. If the dust does not affect its operation, no one will deliberately clean its interior.
However, it is clean here.
Every centimeter has been carefully wiped, and there are bright reflections everywhere.
It doesn't matter that the metal walls can't be converted into warmer wood products, they just spread hand-woven carpets with good heat dissipation in places that don't affect them.
It’s okay if the route can’t be rerouted, so they used colored silk thread to wind the route around and around to create a variety of warm colors.
With all kinds of exquisite hand-made small furniture, this place looks a bit like an "American industrial style" family house.
There is nothing wrong with this being a residence.
On the floor covered with colorful cushions, on the hand-polished small bed, on the chairs, and even on the winding lines covered with colored silk threads on the walls, one or two of these places stay at regular intervals Elf.
Oh no, it's the Crewe.
This is where they usually live, which is also their home on the space jumper according to legend.
The corner where normal people can't get in is a good place for them to settle down.
Although the lights here are always at this level of brightness, it is actually getting late now. I have already done a round of business in the cabin, and most of the guests in the cabin have already fallen asleep. The business can be done, and the Crewe people withdraw their troops and come back to rest.
Most of the Crewe people who have just returned have begun to take off their uniforms. Although the clothes they usually wear are beautiful, the materials are rare. They only have one set each. Except for "work", most of the time they wear Both are more ordinary styles, but equally exquisite and beautiful home clothes.
Only one Crewe who just came back did not go back to rest.
Putting down the big teapot in her hand, she carried a small lantern instead, and then flew straight ahead.
That's right, it's "she".
The sleepless Kru is a girl.
Brown, curly beautiful long hair, a small heart-shaped face, wearing a big tutu skirt, and a small apron with beautiful lace over the skirt, she kept wearing work clothes. Fly to the back warehouse.
That's where the Kru put their packages.
As the "big sister" of the young Crewe, she is used to doing more than her younger siblings.
For example, take the initiative to sell business, for example, go to the cargo hold to patrol when everyone else is asleep.
During the daytime, she and another group of young Crewes were in charge of selling things in the cabin, and did not come to participate in the loading. As a result, she felt a little uneasy, so she simply came over to take stock before going to bed.
Then, after counting, she really discovered something that other Crewes did not discover:
In today's express delivery, there are a total of 14 packages without addresses!
She counted them very carefully. She managed to read all the sides of the package, but there was no information. On the contrary, there were some numbers on it that she couldn't understand the meaning of.
The careful female Kru frowned her thin eyebrows.
Is old John mistaken? These couriers were originally shipped with other addressed packages? Accidentally separated?
Still
Sitting on top of the largest of these packages, she sat for a long time, and when she suddenly looked down, the female Kru fell off the package in fright!
Just now! Right where she sat! Below her ass!
Half a human face suddenly appeared! ! !
