"The biggest advantage of this inn is that the owner doesn't ask questions." Bai Chen stepped on the brake, pointing to the "Ugo Inn" and said, "And he has a good relationship with the sheriff in charge of these streets, so we don't have to worry about someone suddenly kicking open the door and searching the place."

Long Yuehong subconsciously wanted to say that they wouldn't be doing anything bad in the room, but considering the two sets of military exoskeletons, he closed his mouth.

If the sheriff discovered those two items, even if they hadn't done anything, they wouldn't be able to clear their names.

Of course, the most likely scenario would be that the sheriff and his men would simultaneously hug their heads and squat to the floor, daring not to say anything or ask anything.

While speaking, Bai Chen released the brake, driving the jeep toward the parking area on the side of the "Ugo Inn".

"I thought the parking lot here would be underground." Shang Jianyao looked disappointed.

Jiang Baimian understood his feelings, because during this period, the "Old Task Force" had watched old-world entertainment materials, where the parking lots in big cities were often underground, while Redstone Town, with most of its area in ruins, was like this.

But the Initial City, the largest city in the Greylands, was still so rudimentary.

Bai Chen parked the car and pointed to the east:

"The Golden Apple District and the Red Giant Wolf District have underground parking lots.

"When the Initial City was built, some of it was based on the renovation of the original buildings, and some was built by the citizens themselves on the land they were allocated, without a unified plan."

"No wonder the road conditions are not good, and there are all kinds of architectural styles." Jiang Baimian said with a sudden realization.

The Golden Apple District is located in the southeast corner of the Initial City, close to the suburbs, and is the area where nobles live; the Red Giant Wolf District is located in the center of the city, with the Senate, the Government Affairs Office, the Supervisory Yuan, the Governor's Mansion, the Mint, the Mint, the Power Supply Center and other institutions. It is the core of the Initial City, and a large number of officials and citizens with certain status live in this district. Various business firms and companies also favor this place.

After entering the "Ugo Inn", Jiang Baimian saw the owner sitting at the front desk eating his breakfast and dinner.

He looked to be in his thirties or early forties, with skin tanned a bit dark, and some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, forehead, and mouth, but overall he wasn't so old. His blondish hair still had a luster, without a trace of gray.

His dinner was simple, just a plate of stewed beans and a piece of rough black bread.

"Three rooms." Bai Chen said the request in fluent Red River language.

"Is there any of those, you know, those..." Shang Jianyao suddenly showed a shy look, "A suite where five people can live together, with a few small rooms?"

What's there to be shy about… Long Yuehong muttered silently.

That was his thought too.

It's safest to live together!

The owner, named Ugo, shook his head, sweeping his light blue eyes over the five members of the "Old Task Force":

"Only big hotels have suites."

The landlady of Tarnan, Aino, really has a business mind… Jiang Baimian sighed inwardly, and said with a smile:

"Then three rooms next to each other."

"Each room is 1 ore per night, plus a deposit of 5 ore." Ugo replied calmly.

"Old Task Force"'s original remaining money was used up in Wildgrass City, and the current ore all came from the gift of Shang Jianyao's good brother Xu Liyan, but there wasn't much left.

Ugo counted the banknotes, verified their authenticity, and took out three silver-white keys with labels from the drawer:

"202, 203, 204."

This inn did not have an elevator. After Long Yuehong and others took the keys, they went up to the second floor along the stairs and opened the corresponding rooms.

"It's quite clean." Jiang Baimian nodded with satisfaction.

The layout of the room was the same as most inns, with two beds filling most of the space. The remaining places were furnished with tables, chairs and sofas, and there was also a small bathroom.

After a little rest, Bai Chen, Long Yuehong and Genava gathered in room 202, which was where Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao lived.

"That boss eats so badly. Does running an inn in Initial City not make money?" Long Yuehong asked casually as he pulled out a chair and sat down.

And that's someone who has a relationship with the sheriff.

Bai Chen shook his head:

"Even if he can't eat meat every day, it wouldn't be a problem for him to eat it two or three times a week, but he is very frugal, so frugal that it's almost self-abuse."

For her, who came from the wilderness wanderers, this frugality was almost abnormal.

"Maybe he had some psychological trauma..." Jiang Baimian touched her metal cochlea and made a simple guess.

She then clapped her hands:

"Next, we'll have a team meeting to unify our understanding for the subsequent actions."

Shang Jianyao dutifully applauded.

Unfortunately, no one cooperated with him.

Jiang Baimian looked around and said:

"Our main task is to find Maxim, the descendant of Orey in Initial City, and see if he has left any clues.

"According to the information collected so far, the only remaining direct descendants of Orey are a granddaughter, Avia, and a grandson, Marcus. They live at 14 Round Hill Street and 57 Crown Street in the Golden Apple District, respectively.

"Our plan is very simple. Find an opportunity to contact them and let Shang Jianyao befriend them.

"The most important thing to pay attention to in this plan is that there may be great dangers lurking in the dark. Perhaps some forces are trying to erase all efforts to investigate the cause of the old world's destruction, or rather, the origin of 'Heartless Disease'.

"Therefore, we must be very cautious, very careful, and would rather miss it than take risks."

Hearing this, Genava raised his hand like Shang Jianyao:

"I have a question."

"What is it?" Jiang Baimian asked with a kind attitude.

"Since some forces are preventing all investigations into the cause of the old world's destruction, why don't they just kill Avia, Marcus, or someone else, and completely cut off the clues?" This was the most reasonable development Genava had analyzed.

"Indeed, the laboratory in the No. 1 Swamp Ruins was blown up by Qiao Chu." Jiang Baimian nodded.

Pa, Shang Jianyao clenched his right fist and hit his left palm:

"I know the reason!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he said calmly:

"Orey didn't leave any clues at all, and Avia and Marcus don't know anything."

Then what are we doing in Initial City? Long Yuehong slandered.

Bai Chen said thoughtfully:

"Maybe Avia and Marcus are under the strict protection of Initial City, and that force can't get their hands on them."

Jiang Baimian nodded slightly:

"This possibility is relatively higher. In any case, Initial City is the number one force in the Greylands. It would be too embarrassing if they couldn't even protect two people.

"This also reminds us to be more careful. Our enemies are not only the saboteurs lurking in the dark, but also the protectors of Initial City."

Speaking of this, she smiled wryly:

"Let's take it one step at a time for now. We still have too little information.

"Okay, the second thing we need to do is contact the Zhao family's liaison and go to the manor in the suburbs to investigate, and strive to raise a sum of money this week.

"The third thing is to go to the local Hunter Guild and sell them the information that the White Giant Wolf may have other abilities."

This will be accompanied by various performances by Qiao Chu at the time, which is of high value.

"The fourth thing is to contact the company's intelligence officer in Initial City. The fifth thing is to find Han Wanghuo. We still have to observe him. The sixth thing is to visit Bai Xiao and Lin Tong's team. They still owe us a big meal..." Shang Jianyao helped Jiang Baimian add the rest of the arrangements.

Jiang Baimian "He" and said:

"You are right!"

At this moment, a burst of noise suddenly came from somewhere.

Shang Jianyao leaned against the window and looked outside, but because it was on the second floor and blocked by many buildings and obstacles, he could only see the people coming and going on the street.

As for vehicles, there weren't too many, mainly bicycles.

"Go down and ask." Jiang Baimian weighed it for a few seconds.

The "Old Task Force" and his party of five quickly returned to the lobby of the "Ugo Inn" and found the owner standing at the door, looking into the distance.

"What happened?" Bai Chen stepped forward and asked.

Ugo said with a slightly complicated expression:

"In the past week, this is the third 'Heartless Disease' on these streets."

As soon as he finished speaking, the loudspeaker on the telephone pole outside suddenly made a sound:

"Due to the shortage of water resources, the water supply will be stopped after 7:00 tonight and will resume at 8:00 tomorrow morning."
