The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 181: Shipwreck Hotel

"The Modern Age of the Mysterious (

The roads in Ocean City are not wide, with only two lanes.

After walking to the street, Sean and the others finally saw the "cars" driving on the submarine highway that they had seen in the elevator before.

There are two tracks in the middle of the road, and on the tracks there are cars traveling at a constant speed.

The speed of these carriages is not fast, and people who need to ride can stop the empty car at any time on the street...

Randy walked ahead, reaching for the slow-moving tour buses: "Cars are not allowed in Ocean City due to the limited efficiency of air purification.

"In its place is this set of electric-powered track tour cars.

"Although the speed of these tour buses is not as fast as a car, they are also much faster and less labor-intensive than walking..."

Sean looked at everything around him - he found that except that the city was built on the bottom of the sea, everything around was very similar to the downtown area of ​​New York City.

If you don't look up at the underwater world outside the bubble, you'll think it's New Testament night with dim lights...

There were some pedestrians on the street, apparently residents of Ocean City.

Compared with the surprise and restraint on the faces of the tourists, they appear casual and magnanimous, and they seem to have become accustomed to life here.

The residents of Ocean City in Chinese costumes are extraordinarily friendly, and they will stop and wave to the tourists with a smile.

After walking for a while, Solomon found something and said to Randy who was walking in front: "The people who live here seem to be very happy."

Whether it was the staff who greeted them or the residents walking on the road, they all wore gentle and satisfied smiles on their faces.

Randy said with a smile: "The number of residents in Ocean City is very small, and those who are lucky enough to immigrate here are the elites of the outside world.

"Everyone has created a dream utopia together, living rich and unfettered, so everyone feels very happy.

"It's all thanks to the mayor, Mr. Verne, and the chief technology officer, Mr. Tesler." Randy's face was filled with admiration, "It is because of their creativity and design that we have what we are now. Life……"

As the correspondent of the "Daily News", Sean should naturally show a professional demeanor, so he asked: "Who are the people who immigrated to Ocean City? Is the threshold high?"

"Ocean City officials will send invitations to elites from all over the world, including scientists, artists, business tycoons, and top talents in various industries.

"Mr Verne believes that only the best talents come together to create the most brilliant achievements.

"The free temperament of Ocean City has attracted elites from all over the world."

"Ocean City continues to grow and expand as talent continues to settle in...

"These wonderful people also bring their own families, who are known as Ocean City's first-class residents."

Sean nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask: "Listen to what you said, the residents of Ocean City mainly do high-level things such as scientific research and artistic creation...

"And what about the workers? What about the peasants? What about the service staff, are there any here?"

"Service staff... I am." Randy smiled, "Those of us who are responsible for specific work are the second-class residents.

"The foreigner can stay and work here after being interviewed, but has not yet obtained permanent residency in Ocean City.

"If you can serve city residents for more than ten years, you can get permanent residency.

"We non-skilled immigrants are very satisfied and happy here, so almost everyone will work hard and hope to get permanent residency..."

"I see." Sean nodded.

"Like other societies, there are divisions of labor and classes in Ocean City..." Sean thought to himself, "However, due to the great value contributed by top-level talents and the limited population, Ocean City is exceptionally rich.

"This creates the conditions for a happy life, and even lower-level workers have higher life satisfaction than the outside world...

"Although it's not so perfect, it's already an attractive utopia..."

Randy led the crowd into a revolving door entrance and into a hotel called "Shipwreck".

"How could it be called such... an unlucky name." Sean remembered the disturbing incident on the Bronze Giant.

The decoration of the shipwreck hotel is quite European, and the Mediterranean style is bright and gorgeous.

Walking in it, Sean and the others forgot that they were 300 meters below the sea surface.

Randy said after assigning everyone's room keys, "Everyone has a half-hour break. We'll have dinner together in the restaurant in half an hour."

The number of floors in the hotel is not high. Sean and others' hotels are all on the first floor. They found their room through the corridor and found that Moonlight and Ivan's room were next door.

After saying hello, Sean inserted the key and twisted the door lock.

As soon as the door was opened, the previous questions about the name of the hotel were answered.

The feeling of mistaking himself for being on land also vanished.

Sean and Olivia walked into the twin room with a little surprise, and found that the entire wall facing the door was made of special pressure-resistant glass.

You can see the sea directly from the room!

Not only that, but Sean saw not far from the bottom of the sea, illuminated by specially set lights.

In the sea water illuminated by the lights, there is an ancient three-masted sailing ship that sank on the bottom of the sea.

The mast of the three-masted sailing ship was broken, the hull was cracked, and it was parasitized with seaweed, coral and other sea creatures.

Time has covered it with sea sand and mud, blurring the outlines of this ancient creation.

No one knows its name, and no one knows when it sank to the bottom of the sea.

However, the builders of Ocean City found her.

As a result, her eternally silent figure became a beautiful scenery.

When the hotel was built, it was used as an iconic selling point.

The layout of the hotel seems to be a semi-circle, including the restaurant and rooms, you can see this shipwreck that exudes an ancient and mysterious charm.

Olivia pressed her slender palm on the thick special glass, and stared at the sunken ship illuminated by the lights in the distance~lightnovelpub.net~ She... so beautiful. ' said the alchemist girl in a low voice.

Olivia was silent all the way and did not attract the attention of others. Due to the influence of Naia Shenyu, she seemed to have turned into a shadow in the crowd. She spoke again at this time, which made Sean feel a little nostalgic.

However, the ancient shipwreck reminded Sean of the necklace that harvested countless souls...

And the ancient **** hiding behind the necklace.

The bottom of the sea always makes Sean a little uneasy. He narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I like it here!" At the open door, the voice of the moonlight sounded.

He walked quickly into Sean's room and pointed to the wreck in the distance: "This is so romantic, isn't it?

"Is it a treasure ship? Or a pirate ship? Or an expedition ship in search of new lands...

"I can think of a hundred stories about it!"

Staring at the wreck, the pianist's face returned to a childlike expression of innocence and curiosity.

Thinking of Moonlight cursing in disappointment in the lighthouse, Sean was quite happy for his buddy.

After putting away the luggage, Sean briefly washed in the bathroom.

He deliberately took a sip from the brass tap.

Mildly salty.

"Do they have a way to desalinate the sea?"

After washing up, Sean raised his wrist to check the time.

He turned to Olivia and said, "Almost there, let's go to the restaurant for dinner."

At this moment, his peripheral vision seemed to catch something, which made his scalp tingle.

He seemed to see a figure standing on the deck of the sunken ship, looking over here...

When he looked closely, the figure disappeared.

"What's wrong?" Olivia stood up nervously.

Sean blinked and shook his head gently: "It's okay..."
