Chapter 9 Chapter 6 Coffee City

Because of the war, civilian spaceships are prohibited from flying, and most spaceship companies have also ceased operations. Only a small number of spaceship companies with military backgrounds can continue to operate. In order to get to the location of the bounty hunter organization as soon as possible, I had no choice but to contact Yan Chengyu, who was busy running back and forth, and asked him to find a way to buy two sought-after spaceship tickets.We took a boat to the secret base of the bounty hunter organization in the Eastern Federation. After a day and a night, Fengrou and I arrived at the city where the headquarters of the bounty hunter organization is located.After staying on Houyi Star for such a long time, I can no longer get used to the speed of the spaceship on Earth. Compared with the speed of the Houyi Star battleship, the spaceship is really too slow.

This is called Coffee City, but it is said that it was not called Coffee City before.There are several large coffee tree plantations around the city, and the coffee beans produced are of good quality. After several generations of development, a huge coffee bean market has gradually formed here, and coffee bean merchants from all over the world will come Do business here. It has gradually become one of the most important coffee bean producing areas in the world, and there are more and more coffee tree plantations, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger.Over time, people forgot the city's original name and renamed it Coffee City.

Out of the port, Feng Rou was like a cheerful bird, leading me to a very special coffee shop like a horse knowing the way.Feng Rou proudly told me that this humble shop is one of the few coffee shops in the whole city with the most authentic coffee taste. This store is on the corner of a street, not far from a plaza that looks quite old.There are also several marble statues on the square, which have been carved and eroded by wind and rain for a long time, giving people an ancient meaning of the passage of time.I said, "Are you sure the coffee in this shop is the most authentic?" Feng Rou didn't care about my doubts, but explained to me in a serious manner: "Don't underestimate the coffee in this shop because of its appearance. You must know that there are some things that can't be seen just by looking at the appearance. Most of the coffee in those big shops with a bright appearance is produced on the assembly line, which has lost the flavor of coffee. On the contrary, this small shop, although small, has always upheld the ancient tradition, everything is handmade, not only the coffee is Grinding and brewing by hand, even the small clay pot for making coffee is made by yourself. It is very skillful to brew coffee with this small clay pot. The temperature and heat are not bad at all, even the amount of water and the cooking time It is very particular, and if there is a slight error, the small clay pot will explode."

I smiled and said, "It sounds like the difficulty is no less than alchemy." At this time, the owner of the coffee shop, a fat woman in her forties, brought up two cups of steaming coffee.Feng Rou greeted her familiarly, and the proprietress also greeted her affectionately. I thought that this girl used to come to drink coffee often. After the proprietress left, Feng Rou took a deep breath and said, "It smells so good. I haven't had coffee for a long time after being locked up in Fulong Island. I really miss the coffee here. Let me tell you, the coffee here is different from other places. A little shredded ginger is added. The shredded ginger is also specially made by hand, completely dried and dehydrated without leaving a trace of water, and then ground into powder and sprinkled in the coffee, which adds a special taste to the coffee.”

The aroma of coffee poured into my nostrils one after another, I Xuefengrou took a deep breath, the strong aroma of coffee filled the narrow space on the cup, making my mouth water. Pedestrians began to appear on the street in twos and threes, a group of pigeons landed at the pool not far away to drink water, the early morning autumn wind was blowing unhurriedly, Feng Rou held the cup in both hands, and put his head in front of the cup like a kitten , sipping sips, occasionally looking away from the street, smiling at me with warmth in his eyes. I was immersed in this warm feeling and took a big sip from the cup.A strange smell different from ordinary coffee instantly filled every part of my mouth, and then squeezed into my throat and flowed down, straight into my stomach.

I couldn't bear the urge to spit it out, but Feng Rou looked at me with a smile, as if she had expected such a reaction from me.She took another sip leisurely and said: "Release all your sense of taste, savor the aroma carefully, and you will be able to appreciate the beauty of it after a few more sips." At the end, she added: "It's like drinking tea, as long as you experience it with your heart, you can feel the alluring fragrance." I couldn't laugh or cry, I wanted to put down this cup of coffee that looked tempting but tasted unsatisfactory, but Fengrou's eyes looked at me expectantly, so I had to follow her advice and take another two small sips .

After tasting these two mouthfuls, I suddenly felt a different fragrance. Although it was not as wonderful as Feng Rou said, it was a completely different feeling from just now.The slightly bitter liquid is filled with a sweet aroma, with a hint of ginger wrapped in it. I sighed, it turned out that the fragrance was too strong, but it would not be noticed, and the amount of the fragrance was reduced, but people could feel it clearly. This is probably the realm where people say that the big bell has no sound and the elephant has no form.I shook my head, stopped thinking about it, and concentrated on tasting the coffee in my hand.After a while, the proprietress brought two plates of exquisite snacks, saying that they were old acquaintances, and one of them was a gift from her.

The small snacks are also handmade by the store, and the daily quantity is certain, and they will no longer be sold when they are sold out.I picked up a piece, and the taste really has its own uniqueness, obviously made with heart. After a comfortable breakfast, the exhaustion of the day and night journey by spaceship was eliminated.I said, "There are about three groups of people around us watching us. Are they members of the bounty hunter organization?" Fengrou glanced at a small shop selling newspapers and magazines across the road, nodded and said: "The bounty hunter organization has been operating in the coffee city for many years, and they have already found us when we got off the spaceship. But they all know me, the newspaper The man in the store is Uncle Tie, he was injured in an operation, and the organization asked him to retire to do intelligence work in the coffee city, which is considered retirement."

I nodded and said: "Then let's not make Granny Dan wait any longer, since we are full and rested, let's hurry over." Feng Rou also stood up, and first waved to the man in the inconspicuous shop opposite.The tough-guy-like man nodded slightly towards us without showing any trace, and then ignored us. Fengrou came over, took my arm and said, "Uncle Tie has always been quiet, let's go." The Bounty Hunters headquarters is hidden beneath a factory that makes trash cans.The scale of the factory is relatively large, and the trash cans in several big cities nearby are produced by this factory.The factory is naturally part of the bounty hunter organization's assets, but it can't be found that it has any relationship with the bounty hunter organization on the surface.

Walking into the garbage can production factory in the east of the city, we entered the elevator leading to the underground under strict monitoring, and I praised: "The security protection measures here are very strict, and even a fly cannot fly in without permission. " Feng Rou explained to me: "If you know that the number one leader in the bounty hunter organization, who has always been called Daddy, is a person who knows no kung fu, you will understand why the security protection measures here are so strict." I looked at her in surprise, Feng Rou winked at me mischievously, and said: "It's incredible, when I first found out about this, I was as surprised as you."

I shook my head and sighed: "I really can't think of a person who doesn't have the slightest martial arts to lead a bounty hunter organization that makes countless villains fearful. I think this old man must have his extraordinary charm, otherwise how can he be so charming?" convince." Soon the elevator stopped.Through the transparent elevator door, I saw a group of people waiting for us in the spacious passage in front of the elevator, led by Granny Dan and an old man. The elevator door opened upwards, and Feng Rou said cheerfully, "Mother-in-law, father." Grandma Dan looked at Fengrou with a doting smile on her face. I looked at the old man. This unattractive old man is the leader of the legendary bounty hunter organization, Papa.The old man is a bit fat, with a slightly protruding belly. He is of medium height. His gray hair only covers half of his head. There is a pair of old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he looks like a generous elder. Dad walked towards me, shook hands with me with a friendly smile, and said, "This is little friend Lanhu." This is a thick palm with delicate skin. Obviously, it is usually well maintained. I noticed that there is no energy reaction in his body. As expected, he does not know a little martial arts. His dark blue eyeballs contain a wealth of wisdom. Under the elder's benevolent gaze, I felt a little embarrassed and said, "Hello, old man." Dad let go of my hand, patted my shoulder hard, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, little friend Lanhu, I learned about your relationship with Taohuayuan from Yueru. Hehe, you are a young girl from the Huaxin Sect. Sovereign, if you know that our bounty hunter organization relies on the large sum of money provided by Huaxin Sect to operate normally, you won't be so nervous, you are our sponsor." Everyone smiled knowingly, and I couldn't help but be infected by my father's humorous words, and said with a smile: "So, I really have no reason to be nervous." Dad patted me on the shoulder again, kindly pulled me to the hall at the other end of the passage, and said, "Little friend Lan Hu, you are already a first-class master on earth at such a young age. Simple." I smiled and said, "It's just that the limbs are well-developed. It's admirable that Dad can lead the bounty hunter organization to eliminate violence and bring peace to the people." The old man laughed, and said in a very easy-going way: "Let's stop flattering each other, I already know that little friend Lan Hu did a lonely hero to save Feng Rou, and forcibly broke into Fulong Island, I don't know what happened to little friend Lan Hu Did you gain anything?" I said: "There are indeed some gains. I was lucky enough to get a document, which contains the relevant routes of drug delivery in the medical city and the pick-up person's information." "Great!" The old man helped his black-framed eyes, and the wise light shone in his eyes, and he said happily, "This is the most exciting news I have heard recently. Floating Dragon Island produces and sells drugs in order to make huge profits. , but the three brothers Du Mugan acted cautiously and concealedly, so that we had no chance, this time we have mastered their drug transport route, we must deal them a heavy blow." I said, "Father thinks they are just doing it for profiteering?" Dad glanced at me and said, "It seems that you have noticed something." I nodded and recounted the story of the five injecting fighters we met on our return.The old man said with a serious expression: "Du Mugan's brilliance lies in using the name of the Medical City to deceive the eyes of the world. Everyone thinks that the Medical City exists like a charity organization, but in fact it is a The poisonous snake in the dark will eat people at critical moments." I said: "Du Mugan has made friends with the Western Federal Government's army and has close ties with the New Alliance. Obviously their purpose is not just to make huge profits." The old man sighed and said, "Du Mugan's drug contains rare toxicity. Since you met those five fighters, you obviously have a certain understanding of it." I nodded and said, "Ordinary drugs can only make people excited, but this special drug called 'Green No. 2' can make people change from ordinary people to superhumans, but they are evil and violent superhumans." The old man said worriedly: "This special drug is a bit like adrenal hormones. It stimulates the human body to develop amazing potential in a short period of time. Unfortunately, it also opens up the dark desires in people's hearts, making people lose their minds and let them vent freely. Negative desires. Alas, only those who are inherently evil would have the heart to spread this kind of drug that seriously endangers social security and stability in the world." I said: "Du Mugan is not an inherently evil person, at least he was not in the past, but now his reason has been completely overwhelmed by the desire to become stronger." The old man said: "Fortunately, you got this precious list this time. We will deal a fatal blow to their drug transportation route in the Eastern Federal Government." I said, "Don't you need to contact the Eastern Federal Government?" The old man said: "The Medical City has a great reputation and is inextricably linked with the Western Federal Government, so we can only attack them within the territory of the Eastern Federal Government. However, we have no evidence to prove that they are transporting drugs, so the Eastern Federal Government The government has no reason to attack them. What's more, most of Du Mugan's subordinates are new humans, and neither the Western Federal Government nor the Eastern Federal Government will easily intervene in the struggle between the new human beings." I said: "That's fine, otherwise, if there are people in the Eastern Federal Government who are bought by the Medical City, they will startle the snake." In the next few days, the bounty hunter organization made active preparations based on the route and list on the document I provided. On the one hand, they sent people to investigate the authenticity of the route, and on the other hand, they actively deployed manpower to prepare for action. . And Fengrou and I have been staying here for the past few days. Granny Dan also used the bounty hunter organization's huge contacts and extensive eyes and ears to investigate the new alliance and look for Duguqi. On the other hand, I am still waiting for news from Yan Chengyu. But Duguqi seemed to have disappeared, and there was no news of it. A week later, everything was ready, and a fierce battle that ordinary people didn't notice started on the night of the eighth day. A total of eleven drug transportation routes were attacked by bounty hunters.Caught off guard, the drug transport members of nine of the routes were wiped out, but the drug transport members of the other two routes were lucky enough to escape a disaster because they were aware of it. Some of the drugs were transported back to the headquarters of the bounty hunter organization, and the other part was sent to Taohuayuan overnight. The ingredients were tested by Song Tianyue and Feng Ruyu, experts in alchemy and medicine. In the early morning, Fengrou and I leaned against the iron railing by the bridge and looked up at the rising sun in the distance. The sparkling light seemed like pieces of gold floating on the river.It is early autumn now, and a large number of waterfowl have left here for the warmer south. We can only see a small number of waterfowl flocks scattered on the river for food. Feng Rou looked into the distance, a few strands of flexible and lustrous hair rippling in the autumn wind.The little golden snub-nosed monkey was restlessly jumping up and down on the side of the bridge, without a moment's silence. Facing the moist wind blowing from the river, I took a deep breath and said, "This time the celebration meeting invited all the heroes who participated in the attack on the drug transportation route, will Dad come forward to host the celebration banquet? " Feng Judao: "Father is a powerless person after all, and he is not likely to be recognized by everyone who judges his level by martial arts, so he seldom appeared in front of him, but this time is different. It is said that this time not only Celebrate, and sign an agreement to elect some righteous representatives. Attendees include major families and organizations around the world, including new humans and ancient humans. Most of these people are the backbone of the White Dao, but there are a few The gangster." I said with great interest: "It sounds like the meaning of this conference is indeed very different, let me explain in detail." Feng Judao: "In a word, after so many years of war, everyone hopes to restore peace." I said, "Isn't the eastern and western federal governments already negotiating peace? Presumably, it won't be long before the two federal governments will merge into a complete federal government. War will naturally be replaced by peace." Feng Judao: "That's right, no matter what, the general trend is always moving towards peace. The only meaningful part of this war is to let new humans come out of the darkness and get more ancient humans. Accepted. However, there are still some ambitious underworld organizations in various places, they still look forward to chaos, just like the big underworld organizations such as Sanzhu Gang, Wanye Society, and Skeleton League. Some of them have weapons and territories, and they are ambitious. They wholeheartedly hoped that the war would last longer, and they colluded with militants in the Eastern and Western Federal Governments to repeatedly sabotage the peace talks. There are many similar underworld organizations, and they gathered to form a black force to prevent the coming of peace. In addition, there are more hidden and larger underworld organizations, such as Medical City, they are more powerful, hidden deeper, and more destructive." I said: "I have been away from the earth for too long, and I know very little about the situation on the earth. It seems that the agreement signed this time is probably an alliance agreement reached in order to promote the early peace and fight against the black power." Feng Judao: "The trend of the times, the arrival of peace is not something that a few bad guys can resist." I said: "People feel at ease. This is a general trend that cannot be resisted by a small group of people. This time, the drug transportation routes in the medical city have been severely damaged, and the masters who transported and received poison in the medical city have also suffered heavy losses. Du Mugan wants to rebuild It may take several years for these routes to train good players. The three brothers Du Muqian will not be worried for a while, the only thing to worry about is the new alliance. There are many high-level beast warriors in the new alliance, which are quite appealing among new humans The Western Federal Government has countless ties, and they are the most destructive to the peace talks." Feng Rou rubbed her cheeks that were reddened by the cold wind, turned her head slightly to look at me and said, "So this time, the conference initiated by righteous forces from all over the world will elect twelve representatives to coordinate all regions. Righteous forces to maintain local peace, and resolutely strike against gangs, organizations, and families that disrupt the peace talks." I said: "This meeting has a great responsibility. It seems that Dad must attend. Have you set a time and place?" Feng Judao: "The time is half a month later, the place is here, and our bounty hunter organization is the host." I said: "The safety of this meeting is very important. If the New Alliance and other forces send experts to assassinate, the bounty hunter organization will lose face." Fengrou looked at me and said with a smile: "With the world's number one expert here, who would have the guts to come and die." I can't help but smile.At this moment, the only person who can make me feel a sense of crisis is Duguqi. In the days that followed, the bounty hunter organization was actively active to prepare for the coming heroes from all over the world. However, there are positives and negatives in everything. Originally, the core base of the bounty hunter organization has been hidden in the dark. Now, I am afraid that everyone will know that the headquarters of the bounty hunter organization has been hidden in this small city. During this period, Aunt Roland contacted me once. The Eastern Federal Government also knew about this grand event and encouraged it, so it will send representatives to congratulate and protect the city where the event is held.It is undoubtedly more difficult for underworld organizations and new alliances who want to harm the grand event to make trouble. Five days before the opening of the event, Yan Chengyu appeared in a hurry. He threw me a paper bag, and then said solemnly: "My people discovered Duguqi." "Ah!" I was shocked in my heart, but quickly regained my composure, and I asked, "Where did you find it?" One of Yan Chengyu's subordinates immediately handed over a map and spread it on the ground under our feet.Yan Chengyu pointed to the place where we were and said: "This is the coffee city. This is a long river that runs continuously all year round. It is here that our people discovered Duguqi." He pointed to the place about 300 kilometers away from the coffee city. Besides, another city near the Changhe. He paused and said, "Our people found him here, here, and here one after another." My expression became dignified as his fingers continued to move.I said: "I can be sure that Duguqi and his new alliance have not been invited to this grand event." Because the cities where Duguqi appeared later are getting closer and closer to the coffee city. Yan Chengyu raised his head and said with a gloomy face, "If you're not invited, then you must be here to make trouble." He waved his hand and asked his subordinates to put away the map, and then said to me: "In the bag are photos taken by our people at the risk of their lives." I opened the paper bag, and inside was a thick brick-like stack of photographs, probably hundreds of them.I looked at them one by one, mostly from the back and profile, but I still felt that Duguqi's temperament had undergone a huge change, and he was no longer full of astonishing murderous aura as before.From the photo, he looks thinner, his eyes are much deeper, and he has a restrained feeling. If you don't look carefully, you will only think that he is a proud, thin, and handsome nobleman. "Huh? Who is this woman?" I asked holding a photo.
