Take a taxi?

Intelligence agents are not qualified to mobilize the various transportation vehicles deployed by the company in the local area. Why do they need to take a taxi?

"..." But Leon showed a serious expression on his face, which really puzzled Shirley, not knowing what to say and how to ask.

"You'll know later, come with me."

Seeing that Shirley was confused, Leon did not explain, but walked towards the taxi while pulling the suitcase.

"Okay... sir." Shirley followed Leon.

As soon as the two approached, the taxi driver, wearing a turban, got out of the car.

The driver first opened the trunk, then walked towards Lyon and Shirley, and laughed out of the boldness emphasized by the Middle East:

"Oh~! Dear friends, welcome to Mars City! Come! Beautiful girl, let me help you!"

With that said, the driver enthusiastically helped Shirley to take the suitcase and put the lever into the trunk.

Put it away, and the driver is ready to help Leon again.

But Leon chuckled and shook his head to indicate that he was coming, and then put his luggage in the trunk.

The next three people got in the car.

The driver started the engine, put his left hand on the steering wheel, and leaned his right elbow on the armrest box. He smiled and asked Lyon, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and Shirley who was sitting in the back seat:

"It should be the first time for both of you to come to Mars."

"Yes." Lyon looked at the city outside the car window, pretending to be very yearning, and said to the driver:

"Our brothers and sisters saved some money, and while the discount was on offer, we got air tickets to travel around all the colonies in the solar system, and we are ready to experience the local environment for ourselves."

"Oh~!" The driver realized, "The two colonists were called accordingly, I guess it's correct."

"Forget it, after all, the benefits given are too tempting, and the pressure of competition on the earth is too great, ha ha..." Leon scratched his head and said with a smile.

"Understand and understand." The driver nodded repeatedly, and "sincerely" gave recommendations:

"In that case, I suggest that you two go to the Natalie Hotel in District 13. The room is spacious and the surrounding environment is very good. I will give my name to the proprietress and give me a discount.

I heard that there are many apartments for sale nearby. If you finally choose to settle on Mars, you may be able to choose your favorite residence in advance. "

"That's really grateful. To be honest, we are quite clueless. Let's go to the Natalie Hotel!" Leon also "sincerely" thanked him.

"okay!"

The driver who received the affirmative answer was even more emotional, typed on his watch, drove the crowd away from the street, and drove towards District 13 at the west end of the dome.

"Boy, let me tell you, this is District 2, there are duty-free shops everywhere, there is a food court..."

Taxis walk through the spacious streets. When passing by landmark buildings or entering new neighborhoods, the driver will introduce them.

Lyon is also very talkative, asking about the characteristics of each neighborhood, or if there is any big news in the colony lately.

"..."

Shirley, who was sitting in the back seat, looked at Lyon, who was chatting happily with the driver, and couldn't help but open her mouth slightly and her eyes widened slightly to express her current surprise.

Because Lyon seems to be chatting, he has actually got a rough idea of ​​the current situation of Mars City. By the way, he also asked the driver what kind of people there are in each block and what are worth noting.

Shirley didn't expect that a taxi could have such a reward, and Minos had never taught her what she saw in front of her.

Otherwise, Lyon is hailed as a legend by all the company's intelligence officers.

There are far fewer vehicles in the central dome city than in major cities on the earth, and the traffic is smooth. Therefore, within half an hour, the driver took the two of them to District 13 at the end of the west.

Looking out of the car window, Shirley felt "deceived".

Because the environment in District 13 is not as good as the driver said, on the contrary, here are mostly compact apartment buildings, one next to the other.

Even the green belt next to the street is not as large as in other areas, and there are many crowds on the sidewalk.

Even as a fledgling newcomer, Shirley also judged that the people gathered should be members of the local gang, which indirectly shows that the security in District 13 is not good.

At this time, the vehicle stopped in front of a low-rise building that looked like a motel.

The holographic billboard on the side of the building shows a pink bunny ear girl and the slogan "Natalie welcomes all foreigners".

Park the car.

"Boy, there are thirty-four credits in total. If we are so congenial, it's thirty!"

The driver was still hospitable, switched the meter number to thirty, completely ignoring the real appearance of zone 13.

"Thank you so much!"

Lyon did the same. He took out a cell phone that was only a little thicker than a bank card, stuck it on the magnetic screen of the meter, and gladly paid 30 credits.

"Fresh! Boy, just ask me if you have anything to do in the future, haha!"

The driver laughed boldly, and got off the car again to help Lyon and Shirley get their luggage, and even helped Lyon and Shirley walk into the hotel lobby with their luggage, and then said goodbye to the two.

Immediately afterwards, the two came to the front desk.

Since the posture is too plump, and the Russian-sounding proprietress has handled two single rooms and checked into this Natalie hotel.

Shortly after.

The two who had packed their luggage left the hotel and headed to the nearest hotel, Shirley couldn't help but admire Leon:

"Sir, I didn't expect that with just one taxi ride, you would get information on the Martian colony, and by the way, you also gained a potential informant."

"Yes, it seems you have learned the essence of taxiing." Leon nodded.

More than ten years of taxi-hailing experience has not only taught Lyon how to bargain, but also discovered that the trail information held by taxi drivers is often more reliable than the local police station, which is very suitable for the development of a local intelligence network.

For example, just now, the driver got a commission for soliciting guests from the hotel owner, and Lyon got local intelligence, a win-win situation.

"Then sir, did you take the initiative to give up the transportation convenience provided by the company?" Shirley asked curiously.

Hear the words.

There was a fleeting embarrassment on Leon's face, but he quickly recovered and nodded as if he did not deny it, and turned the subject away:

"After dinner, I will introduce to you which occupations are suitable for disguising the identity of an intelligence officer. My recommendation is the sheriff of the colony, that is, a police officer, but this requires your own consideration.

Let’s take a break tonight and fall down the time difference between Mars and Earth, and then you will submit a transportation application to the company tomorrow.

You are about to become an official intelligence agent. It is time to let you know what kind of people Phobos are stationed. If the future Mars encounters high-risk anomalous creatures, they will be your backing.

After that, I will take you to Deimos, which is the boundary between UEG and UNSC, and is also an important pier and line of defense in the solar system. "

"Good sir." Shirley nodded.
