global pollution

Niu Changshou just smiled and didn't intend to explain, as if he wanted to surprise him later.
Xia Ren didn't really like this way of speaking, but he didn't have any other opinions.
The station has been in disrepair for a long time, and the narrow platform road surface is severely worn, and some cement has peeled off, and the soles of shoes can make friction noises when stepped on it.
The exit of the station is also quite simple, just a few steps away, there is not even a ticket checker at the door, there is only a ticket office next to it, and the staff inside are still turning on the air conditioner, leaning on the chair and dozing off, it is estimated that even if you don’t buy it Tickets go directly to the train, and no one will stop you.
It was noon at this time, the sun outside was a bit dazzling, and the air was full of mud and scorching heat. Lily ran in front of the crowd excitedly, her fluffy little skirt swaying, very cute.
From the time they got off the bus to the time they walked outside the station, they only met a sweeping staff member and a conductor along the way, and there was no other passenger.There is only a potholed asphalt road outside the platform, and there are weeds and trees in the distance. Not to mention residential buildings, there is not even a standard grocery store next to the usual station.
If it was any other place, such an infrequently populated platform would have been shut down a long time ago, but the existence of this platform now obviously has other meanings, so it can be kept forever.
However, even though this place is so remote that even a single tourist is rarely seen, Xia Ren still saw a few taxis parked by the side of the road not far away.
If he hadn't seen the driver in the driver's seat through the car window, he couldn't help wondering whether these cars had been scrapped.
Even Qin Yun couldn't help but said, "Is there really any business in this kind of place?"
Niu Changshou took a relaxed pace and said as he walked, "Aren't we just a business?"
He walked up to one of the taxis and knocked on the window glass: "Is there any passenger?"
The car window was rolled down, and inside was a haggard human face, with an unhealthy waxy glow in the sun.
Xia Ren frowned. The moment he opened the car window, he could feel the smell of pollution and an uncomfortable smell of decay.
The driver raised his head, looked at Niu Changshou, and said weakly, "Where are you going?"
"Arkham."
"Add money."
"no problem."
Niu Changshou took out a few [-] Union coins from his pocket, and the latter counted them in his hand before accepting them with a blank expression: "Get in the car."
They didn't bring any luggage, Xia Ren and the others squeezed into the back seat, Niu Changshou sat in the co-pilot, and the driver started the car. He didn't seem to want to chat with them, and drove straight on the road.
Sitting in the car, the rotten smell became more intense. Even if the windows were opened to let the outside air blow in, the smell only dissipated, as if the whole car was rotting.But everyone has even smelled heavier smells, so they can still bear it.
The speed of the car quickly increased, and the driver didn't care about the passenger's experience at all. He let the bumps run wildly on the broken road.
Xia Ren looked at the driver's face through the rearview mirror of the car and guessed that he should have been distorted, but he still retained his rationality.
Generally speaking, this kind of person will become the target of the Foundation, but here, he is in the same car with the Foundation and the Superman Association, living in peace. I have to say that it feels a bit strange .
The vehicle quickly drove close to a forest, and the sunlight passed through the dense branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadows.
The scenery outside is not bad, the fragrance of the vegetation in the forest somewhat dilutes the smell inside the car, and the occasional calls of animals in the forest make the atmosphere less silent.
After about half an hour, they drove out of the woods. Right in front of them was a low mountain, and the asphalt road stopped abruptly at the foot of the mountain.
However, not far from the end of the road, there was a dirt road made by wheels, leading to a hole at the foot of the mountain that looked like it was man-made.
The entrance of the cave is not wide, it can only accommodate the width of the next car. The cave is dark, and there is a faded warning sign beside it, marking the danger inside the cave.
Xia Ren originally thought that the driver would go to the entrance of the cave, but he didn't expect the driver to go straight and hit the rock at the end of the dirt road.
The moment he was about to hit the rock, the surrounding scene suddenly showed a dizzying distortion.
The wind from the car window changed from refreshing to chilly and chilling. He looked out of the window and suddenly found that it was still day outside just now, but now it has turned into night, and a lingering haze seems to be covering the top of his head. There was an ominous smell in the air.
A thin mist rose ahead, and the outline of the city was looming in the drifting mist.
Niu Changshou turned his head and smiled at them: "Welcome to the city of chaos and order, Arkham."

Where they are currently located is on the outskirts of the city.
The vehicle continued to drive on the road, and the vision was blocked by the vast fog. The driver turned on the headlights, but he could barely see the road clearly.
With the help of the faint light, Xia Ren found that there were graves shrouded in mist all around.
These tombs are of different heights and styles. Some are just small mounds, while others are large-scale tombs built with cement. The densely packed tombstones are placed in the wilderness, like strange-looking shrubs, exuding a strong ominous breath.
As the vehicle drove steadily, soon the tombs began to become sparse, and scattered buildings slowly appeared on both sides of the road.
These low houses seem to be old-fashioned buildings, dilapidated, and the surface of the brick walls is covered with a layer of unknown substance, like the sticky dirt of the sewer, constantly emitting a disgusting stench.
Some of these houses are made up of only a few wooden boards, which seem to be temporary residences, but those wooden boards have long been eroded by the damp fog and are riddled with holes. A decaying coffin in the wilderness.
From time to time, a few black shadows flitted overhead, making strange calls and the sound of flapping wings, as if they had been staring at them.
The driver has been used to it for a long time, unmoved, and continued driving.
The buildings on both sides gradually began to grow taller and clearer, and the road became wide enough to accommodate several cars driving at the same time. It seemed that they had arrived at the main city.
The driver slammed on the brakes and stopped on the side of the road.
"We're here."
Niu Changshou turned around to remind him, then got out of the car and stretched his body.
Xia Ren and the others also got out of the car and looked around.
The driver did not go back immediately, but got out of the car and walked into a small shop nearby, where he bought something like a drink. Through the transparent glass bottle, one could see that the inside contained a rich, dark red liquid. Reminiscent of something.
The driver opened the bottle and took a gulp, then got back into the car and re-ignited it to drive further into the city center.
"What did he buy?"
Xia Ren asked curiously.
Niu Changshou smiled mysteriously: "Guess?"
"It's not human blood, is it?"
Niu Changshou snapped his fingers: "You guessed it right."
"I guess you must have a lot of questions, let's find a place to live first, and wait for me to explain to you slowly."
Niu Changshou had a relaxed expression. When he came here, it was like returning home. He said as he walked, "Let's start with the existence of Arkham City."
He straightened his mind a bit: "Arkham City has existed since before the establishment of the Supreme Alliance Government, but it was not called this name at that time. It has always been an ordinary city, but until decades Before, there was a drastic change, and this place became what it is now. Don’t worry about asking me what drastic change is, because I don’t know.”
Xia Ren just wanted to open his mouth, but he could only hold back when he heard the words.
