deadly camouflage

The plane landed slowly, and Nan Di looked at the gray sky outside through the window, feeling heavy for no reason.

Just now when he saw the yellow dust all over the ground in the sky, he thought it was because he was looking down from a high altitude. After getting off the plane and keeping his feet on the ground, Nan Di realized that only when he was really in this place did he know what it means to be full of yellow sand.

"Welcome to the Kingdom of Sand." A familiar voice sounded behind him.

Nan Di turned around and was surprised to find that Xi Yang was no longer what he remembered after seeing him for a few days.

She had changed out of her fashionable and flamboyant clothes for old-fashioned khaki overalls.The delicate makeup on her face was also gone, but despite her plain face, she still looked energetic.

Nan Di put away her surprise, and smiled at Chao Xiyang: "We meet again."

"Looks like you're doing fine."

"Of course, being able to breathe freely, I don't think I have any reason to have a bad day."

Nan Di made a distressed expression: "I am the opposite of you, this is my cage."

Xi Yang laughed loudly, and patted him on the shoulder: "I heard about it on the phone, it's okay, you have to believe it's only temporary."

"Long Xia called you?" Nan Di looked at Xi Yang with bright eyes.

"Yes, he specifically told me to take good care of you."

Nan Di frowned, and asked persistently: "Did you say anything else?"

Xiyang looked at him with a half-smile, and Nan Di faked a cough uncomfortably: "Let's go, I'm a little hungry."

When he came to the parking lot and saw the convertible off-road vehicle, Nan Di looked at Xi Yang with admiration again.

Xi Yang patted the hood proudly, raised his chin at Nan Di: "How?"

"A mechanical version of Beauty and the Beast."

"I take it as you are complimenting me." Xi Yang smiled and said, "Get in the car!"

Nan Di threw the luggage to the back seat, and drove towards the city center on this domineering mount of Xiyang Beauty.

Pastellillo is famous for its rich minerals, and the prosperity here cannot be compared with Corunna.

However, years of mining have seriously damaged the ecology of this place, leaving this bustling city covered in yellow ash all the time.

The off-road vehicle rushed into the urban area with a powerful posture, and stopped in front of a half-new building.

"Our destination has arrived!"

Xi Yang carried Nan Di's luggage with one hand, and slammed the door handsomely.

Nan Di laughed: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and it has become so barbaric."

"This is the liberation of nature." Xi Yang gave him a white look, and threw the luggage back to him, "Hold it yourself!"

Nan Di took the luggage and pointed to the building next to him: "Live here?"

"Well, the 22nd floor is specially reserved for you." Xi Yang took out a bunch of keys from his trouser pocket, put them around his fingertips, and walked inside while talking.

Nan Di followed her, and they took the elevator together, not on the 22nd floor, but stopped on the [-]th floor.

When Xi Yang opened the door of Room 1701, Nan Di asked, "Shall we live together?"

"Don't scare me!" Xi Yang said, "Second Young Master will kill me if he knows."

This house is not big, a single bedroom apartment.Perhaps because of the harsh environment, there is no balcony.

Nan Di never expected to be able to live in such a clean and tidy house, and suddenly felt a little confident about the future.

Xiyang opened the curtains for him. Although the sky is still yellow, it can be seen that the air quality is much better than the ground.

"It's not as good as Corunna here, so I can only help you find a place of this kind."

"I'm very satisfied." Nan Di looked around, "You also live in this building?"

"No, I live a 5-minute drive away from here." Xi Yang turned on the air purifier and went to the open kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles for Nan Di.

Nan Di put the luggage away, and then helped in the kitchen.

After a simple dinner, Xi Yang said solemnly, "Are you ready to hear me explain the specific situation?"

"Go ahead."

"Pastrillo has the only mine in Morken, which has been losing money over the years. Even so, Morken has not abandoned it."

Nan Di couldn't help but start thinking, why does Morken keep a mineral that needs to be subsidized?

"What I just said is just the basic background. The current form of Pa is more complicated. It used to be an extremely prosperous city, and all kinds of desires inevitably grew. With the depletion of resources, Pa gradually declined, and the monster of desire Starting to show his ugly side."

"Drugs, gambling, flesh trading and even killing are all legal here."

Nan Di raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Xi Yang raised the corners of her mouth slightly, her eyes were cold, and she continued: "Here, violence is the law. Talking with fists is the rule of Pastrillo."

Time seemed to be so frightened by her cold tone that it forgot to flow, and it didn't move until Nan Di's eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Then what do we need to do?" He asked Xi Yang.

"protect yourself."

Nan Di was a little surprised, he thought Xi Yang would say that he wanted to defeat other gangs and dominate Pastrillo.

"What's your expression?" Xi Yang frowned, "You think it's easy to survive? Go out with me for a while, and you will definitely change your mind."

Nan Di didn't know which of his words offended Xi Yang, and quickly apologized: "Don't be angry, I'm just curious."

Xi Yang's expression was not at all relaxed, and he emphasized again: "In Pastrillo, don't take it lightly. I don't want you to have an accident, so I can't explain to the second young master."

Seeing her solemn face, Nan Di put away his joking thoughts and took seriously the new life that is about to start.

"I'll be careful. Is there anything else I can do besides living?"

"There are many related facilities for a mine, most of which are in the hands of Kyle, and there is a hot spring hotel under the name of the second young master."

Spa hotel?

Nan Di frowned deeply. Pastelilo is full of hot springs. The hot spring hotels are the most competitive and least profitable here.

He didn't expect Long Xia to be treated so unfairly in Corunna, but it's also so unfair in remote Pastrillo!

Xi Yang saw some clues from his expression, and joked: "Didn't you come, you will definitely bring back the hotel that is on the verge of bankruptcy, right?"

"Stop joking," Nan Di smiled wryly, "how do I know how to do business?"

"Then what should we do?" Xi Yang pretended to be in trouble, "Just let the hotel go bankrupt?"

"..."

Nan Di didn't realize that she was just joking, so she thought about this question very seriously.

Xi Yang peeked at him frowning and thinking, showing a triumphant smile of a successful prank, without explaining, stood up and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Nandi felt that he was not entangled enough, so he said to him with a serious face: "We will not be able to go back in the short term. If we want to change our living conditions, we must build a hotel."

Nan Di was about to howl, took a deep breath, and nodded heavily: "I will think about it carefully."

Xi Yang showed a "comfortable" smile, waved to him, left a sentence of "see you tomorrow" and left.

After closing the door, Nan Di checked the room carefully again. After he had nothing to do, he actually felt that this small single apartment was too empty to make people uncomfortable.

Nan Di climbed onto the bed and lay down for a while, took out her mobile phone and looked at it again and again, couldn't hold back, and dialed someone's number...

There was a dialing sound on the phone, and Nan Di regretted it for a moment. He couldn't help but call back after leaving Corunna for a few hours. Could it be too spineless?

But before he hung up, the phone was picked up.

"Nan Di?" Long Xia's voice on the phone was full of sleepiness.

Nan Di wrinkled his face and said embarrassedly: "Boss, did I wake you up?"

"No." Long Xia's voice became more sober, "Have you arrived at your residence?"

"Well, Xi Yang just left."

"Ah."

Having said that, it seems that there is nothing more to say.In addition, neither of them is good at chatting, and the atmosphere is even more embarrassing to death.

However, Nan Di obviously couldn't find anything to say, but he didn't want to hang up the phone. He felt very relieved when he heard Long Xia's breathing through the receiver.

The two remained silent for a few minutes, and Long Xia spoke first, "Are you used to living there?"

Nan Di suddenly sat up from the bed as if he had been beaten with blood, and didn't want the other party to know that he was very happy, so he pretended to say casually: "It's pretty good, much better than my Corunna."

"Hmm..." Long Xia responded, paused, and continued, "The environment over there is not good, remember to wear a mask when you go out."

His tone was blunt, and it could be heard that he rarely said such exhortations.

Nan Di held up the phone and smirked, but his tone was still serious: "Then I'll go buy it tomorrow."

……

The conversation got stuck again, and the strange thing was that neither side was willing to hang up the phone.

Time slipped by, and after listening to Long Xia's breathing for nearly 10 minutes, Nan Di gave a dry cough and asked him solemnly: "Xi Yang told me about the situation here, I don't know how to do business, So we can only do our best for the hotel’s affairs.”

"Hotel?" Long Xia seemed surprised why he mentioned the hotel.

"It's the hot spring hotel under your name. Xiyang said that if he doesn't think about it, he will go bankrupt."

"Oh..." After his reminder, Long Xia seemed to remember, "For that, just do your best."

Nan Di heard another meaning from his words, why did he feel that Long Xia didn't care much about the hotel?

"Isn't the hotel important? Xi Yang said, that's your only property in Pastrillo."

"Well, that's true. However, I don't plan to continue to operate the hotel. It is not competitive in a place full of hot springs. I plan to integrate the hotel with other industries after a while, and then withdraw from Pastor Lilo."

"...Oh." Nan Di never expected that Long Xia would answer his question in a serious manner, let alone that he would tell himself about his future plans!

Although he treats Long Xia as a big brother in his heart, Nan Di is very clear that he is just a defector, and Long Xia is the serious Master Morken.

In other words, he is a wage earner, and Long Xia is a young master.

What are the plans of the master, there is no need to tell the wage earners at all!

Nan Di was both surprised and happy in his heart, he didn't know what the surprise was or what the joy was, he just thought it was great to hear Long Xia say that this caused it!

"Don't you have anything to say?" Long Xia on the other end of the phone asked suddenly, his tone seemed a little unhappy.

Nan Di was dumbfounded by his question, and asked back: "What do I want to say?"

"It's nothing!" Long Xia threw out a sentence, "Xi Yang told you, you cover your head tightly in Pastrillo every minute, don't die on the street in a few days!"

Before Nan Di recovered from the question just now, he was complained about a lot, and immediately got angry, and shouted back into the phone: "Can you speak nicely? It's like eating gunpowder at any time. I owe you!"

"..."

The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly there was a beep.

Nan Di petrified while holding the phone, Long Xia actually hung up on him!Actually hung up his phone!

He stared at the blacked-out screen for a few seconds, still in disbelief.

After a brief surprise, Nan Di called back angrily. As soon as the call was connected, he yelled, "What kind of temper are you playing? How dare you hang up on me!"
