When they entered the city, Xi did not drive her wild and eye-catching supercar. Instead, she changed into a low-key black flying car.
There was no road in the sky, but with more cars, there was a road.
Meg looked at the live road that appeared on the front windshield and finally deciphered why so many flying cars could fly in an orderly manner.
The sky was three-dimensional, so there was no need to wait for traffic lights at intersections. The flying car flew in different levels and was extremely fast.
There were rows upon rows of skyscrapers on the ground. Almost all of them were hundreds of stories high. Hundreds of meters in the air, there were also skyscrapers that were hundreds of meters high. It was as if they had grafted a section of the entire city together.
There were virtual screen advertisements everywhere. Even during the day, it did not affect their efforts to attract attention.
"Are the men in the underground city generally not very good?" Meg asked curiously.
"What?"
"Oh, nothing. I just saw a lot of advertisements for men's rehabilitation hospitals." Meg shrugged.
"If you need, I can take you to the nearest men's hospital," Xi said.
"Why would I need it? If I go, I'll only scare the doctor. "Meg shook his head.
As they chatted along the way, Meg was full of curiosity about many things in Tucker City.
He had also fantasized about how humans lived when the world entered an era of super high technology. However, the real advanced civilization was still a little more advanced than his imagination.
The Chef King Competition was recorded in Mocha Building. As one of the most popular variety shows in recent years, Mocha Group gave a lot of support.
Xi flashed her access pass and drove the flying car into the parking lot of Mocha Building.
"After entering the building, watch your words and don't trust anyone." Before getting out of the car, Xi reminded Meg with a serious expression.
"I may be better at this than you." Meg opened the door and got out of the car.
"You're Mr. Hades, right? I'm a staff member of the Best Cookery Competition. The recording is about to begin soon. Please come with me." Mag had just alighted from the car when a young man came up to him with a smile.
Meg glanced at the work ID on his chest. It was a staff ID from the program.
"Hello, I'm Hades's manager, Lola. Are we heading to the dressing room now?" Xi came around from the other side of the car and asked the staff.
The staff member was stunned for a moment before he urged, "Yes, please come with me quickly. Because of today's incident, the director is extremely angry. It's best if you don't get into trouble."
"Please lead the way," Xi said. She exchanged glances with Meg and saw a trace of suspicion in each other's eyes.
"This way." The staff member led the way and led Meg and the others to a side passage.
Meg looked at the sign above the passage. It was a freight passage.
"There's something wrong with this guy," Meg transmitted to Xi.
"They might have been sent by the Dixon family to silence us," Xi said telepathically.
"What if a fight breaks out? We can't expose ourselves, can we? "
"The internal security of a building of this level is very comprehensive. We only need to trigger the security system and delay for a bit. Naturally, the security guards will come and deal with him."
Meg nodded slightly. If it was just stalling for time, it would be easy.
"Isn't this the freight passage? Why aren't we going through the staff passage? "Meg raised his doubts.
The staff member paused for a moment before he explained with a smile, "It's faster to go through the freight passage. Only the senior staff knows about this shortcut."
"I see." Meg nodded with a faint smile and continued to follow him forward.
After passing through two intersections, they turned into a slightly smaller passage. The staff member walking in front suddenly turned around with a black dagger in his hand. He suddenly sped up and rushed toward Meg.
"What are you doing?" Meg retreated in a panic and leaned to the side to avoid the sharp dagger. However, the clothes on his arm were still cut open.
"It didn't hit?!" The young man was also stunned. He thought that this stab would be enough to cripple one of his arms, but there was not even a drop of blood.
Without saying a word, he moved forward again and stabbed the sharp dagger in his hand toward Meg's chest.
The mission he received was to cripple this guy, but there was no mention of killing him.
"Murder!"
Xi Li's shrill screams echoed in the empty corridor. The lights in the corridor three meters away immediately exploded.
Meg wondered if Xi had practiced the lion's roar as he retreated awkwardly into the main passage. He narrowly avoided the sharp dagger and the clothes on his chest were cut open again.
There was real-time surveillance in the main passage. Xi's lion's roar and exploding corridor lights had successfully triggered the building's security system.
"Damn it!" The young man looked annoyed. According to his plan, he should have succeeded with his first attack and then left through the pre-planned route before the Mocha Building's security could react.
However, he did not expect this weak-looking guy in front of him to avoid his attacks and trigger the security system in advance.
He lowered his right hand and raised his left hand. A black muzzle was aimed at Meg.
"Go to hell!" The man smiled coldly.
There was no gunshot because his finger was completely separated from his hand before he could pull the trigger. Along with it, half of the black pistol was broken.
A red card was nailed to the wall, leaving a trail of blood on the wall.
Meg looked back and saw a woman in a black dress standing at the end of the corridor, looking at him.
The woman was very young, only about 20 years old. She was tall and thin with delicate collarbones, but her expression was particularly cold. Just by standing there casually, she gave off a strong sense of alienation.
Meg knew this woman. She was Nancy McCarthy, the real person in charge of the chef's competition.
After a brief eye contact, Nancy withdrew her gaze and disappeared into the corridor.
Then, a group of burly men rushed out from both sides of the corridor and pinned the assassin who tried to escape to the ground.
Meg looked at the assassin with some pity. Then, with a pale face, he was taken away from the scene by the security guards with a lingering fear.
Meg, who was taken to the security room, first received an emergency psychological counseling and then made a simple statement. Then, he was taken to the dressing room by the real program crew.
"Mr. Hades, are you all right?" As soon as Meg sat down in the dressing room, a fat, honest-looking middle-aged man hurried in and looked at Meg.
Meg also knew this man. He was Johnny, the director of the chef's competition.
"I'm fine, just a little frightened. I didn't expect such a thing to happen in the Mocha Building." Meg shook his head with a lingering fear and showed his cut clothes. "And, I may need to change my clothes."
