Chapter 203 Regular Members Appear (Happy Lantern Festival)
After waiting for an hour, Huang Zitao finally saw the staff of the program group.
Originally, he thought that the so-called absolutely safe shelter would be at the foot of a mountain.
He followed the other party and drove for ten minutes and arrived.
Moreover, the surrounding scene was somewhat familiar. He had passed by this place before. It was a community on the side of the road.
However, it seemed a little different here. The security guard at the door was a young man of 1.8 meters, standing straight.
After entering the community, there were only five buildings, and the number of floors was not particularly high.
Originally, it was a mountain city, not to mention the greenery in the community.
Red flowers, green leaves, butterflies and bees everywhere, which made people feel much better.
The staff handed over a card: "1201."
"Thank you!"
Took the elevator to the twelfth floor. After coming out, there was one elevator for one household.
When I arrived at the door, I found something different.
The residents in the normal community all had single doors, but this one had double doors.
The door opened and it was suddenly bright.
The huge floor-to-ceiling window in front made Huang Zitao ignore the softness under his feet. Later, he found that the whole house was covered with carpet.
Going straight to the window, the river view of Shaxi River not far away is unobstructed.
After a sigh, I found the instructions on the coffee table.
This is a 388-square-meter large flat with six bedrooms, three living rooms and three bathrooms. It is not only luxuriously decorated, but also fully equipped with home appliances. It is liveable without package.
The view is wide, all rooms face south, and the security is perfect, free from external interference.
And!
The ingredients in the refrigerator in the house are enough for ten people to eat for half a month.
Fresh fruits, various wines and beverages, and the cabinets are full of snacks.
Food and accommodation are satisfied, with a bathtub with massage function, a small sauna room, PS5, and a pool table
Stay at home and enjoy everything!
"Wow, this apartment is really luxurious"
Huang Zitao's family is also rich. He can sigh, which is enough to show that the shelter is really good!
This is naturally not prepared by the program team. The location was decided yesterday, and there is no time at all.
The owner of the house is a well-known local entrepreneur. He happened to be out of the city recently. After hearing about it, he generously lent the house, which helped the program team a lot.
Huang Zitao finished his emotion and immediately connected with Ning Zhou again, using video.
For a country bumpkin like Ning Zhou, seeing the mansion naturally made him feel a lot.
"The bed is so comfortable that I'll sleep here tonight!"
Huang Zitao found a room at random and stretched out on the bed comfortably.
"It seems that the program team deliberately found a good place."
Miss Zhao saw the other party's intention.
"First send an 18-hour experience card, it's easy to go from frugality to luxury, after enjoying it, if you still want to continue, you have to go to do the task."
"That's the reason."
Ning Zhou agreed.
"In other words, until two o'clock tomorrow afternoon, otherwise, I'll go out to hang out for a while at night, or learn what kind of work it is?"
Huang Zitao stayed alone in this big house, feeling a little uneasy, his teammates were all suffering outside.
"No need," Ning Zhou comforted: "You should have a good rest tonight, you've been tired all day, and I'll talk about other things when I come over."
"Got it!"
He couldn't call Xiao Ning at this time.
After hanging up the phone, Ning Zhou handed the phone to Miss Zhao.
The task was handed over to Mr. He and Sister Mi, and they were relieved now.
"Let's go, find a place to expose ourselves."
Ning Zhou knew very well that the current focus of the pursuers was the same as his own, which was on the next cage match in Huming City. All seven of you must come here and make preparations in advance, so that you have a chance to catch them all in one fell swoop.
But,
things must be done.
In addition to distracting the pursuers, there is another reason.
Flowers do not last forever.
Especially for someone like him who is considered an Internet celebrity, maybe in the third season, the program team will no longer invite him, and the good days will be over.
So, try to perform better in the program, and you can get more money when it's over.
However, it's more difficult to do things now than before.
The increase in bounties has made the fugitives worried.
Originally, if you want to expose yourself, you can just go out and hold a celebrity meet-and-greet.
Now. It is very likely that a few people will rush out of the crowd and directly hold you down. This is a five-digit bonus.
So the location of exposure has become more particular.
If there are too many people, it's too dangerous. If there are too few people, it's not allowed. The speed of transmission is not fast enough.
So. The scene that made the program team applaud appeared.
The two were walking on the street, and Ning Zhou patted Miss Zhao.
"How about you join?"
Miss Zhao turned her head and saw a group of aunts preparing for square dancing.
"You and I. Go."
Don't say it, you really don't say it, Miss Zhao can dance.
At first, she was not familiar with the dance steps, standing at the back and dancing with the front, and gradually, she blended in.
"Look, it seems to be Zhao Lushi, the star Zhao Lushi."
Just as Miss Zhao was blending in, in the gap between the music, a man next to her shouted hoarsely.
"Catch her, give her 10,000 yuan!"
While the confused passers-by were still confused, Ning Zhou rushed into the crowd, pulled Miss Zhao away, and quickly got on the taxi next to him, leaving a group of people looking at each other in bewilderment.
"It seems to be Zhao Lushi."
"That man. Ning Zhou?"
"Fuck, he is Ning Zhou? He was the one who told me it was Zhao Lushi just now."
"Report it quickly!"
Yes, the whistleblower was Ning Zhou, including the one who shouted.
Aunts and aunts danced in the open space outside a community. There were some people enjoying the cool air, but not many.
Ning Zhou couldn't help it at first glance. Miss Zhao was sweating. She hadn't been recognized yet, so she needed some help.
So, he deliberately walked up to the two young men and muttered suspicions. After doing this several times, he saw that they were still hesitating and couldn't wait any longer, so he started yelling.
Then he took her to the taxi that had been waiting for a long time.
"I guess the effect is average!"
Ning Zhou was referring to the effect on the pursuer.
A little too deliberate.
His idea was absolutely correct. When Huang Shengli learned the news, he ignored it at all.
Seeing this situation, the program team temporarily modified the itinerary and sent a car to take the two to the airport to avoid delaying tomorrow's trip.
Anyway, it doesn't matter. All the pursuers in Shangdu have evacuated today, so there won't be any conflicts here.
Ning Zhou naturally had no objection.
Just now in the car, I received a photo from Sister Mi, in which she and Teacher He were leaning against each other.
Didn't I decide to leave the remaining mileage to them in the afternoon? I was quite concerned about it.
After researching, I went to the train station and caught the shuttle bus to the county town below.
It's nearly 200 kilometers, and we're on the highway. We've been running for over half an hour now.
They planned to just make a few trips back and forth, and the task would be completed immediately.
As for where to stay at night, Sister Mi didn't say it, and Ning Zhou didn't ask. It was the second season anyway, and it would be unreasonable to spend even one night there.
"What do you want to do?"
When he arrived at the airport, Ning Zhou sat back down as he saw the staff picking up their equipment and putting on their tags.
"Oh, I'm clearing the way for you two. There are so many people at the airport, so there won't be any trouble!" the other party explained with a smile.
"no."
Ning Zhou shook his head.
"You can follow, but you can't take the machine."
"Why?"
"Why?" Ning Zhou was speechless: "You guys went in together with such a big fanfare that no one would know about it. Doesn't that mean you have notified the pursuing party?"
The staff was at a loss for words for a moment. It seemed right. Why didn't Huang Zitao say it yesterday?
There were still many people at the airport at night, but the program team provided business class tickets. After passing the security check, the two entered the VIP lounge.
Not idle, I got something to eat first.
"Excuse me, are they Mr. Ning Zhou and Miss Zhao Lushi?"
The two of them were engrossed in eating noodles when a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties came to the side with a smile and asked politely.
"Don't worry, I am a loyal fan of the show and a staunch supporter of The Runaways. I will never do anything like reporting it!"
Seeing Ning Zhou raise his head, the man became more sure of his judgment.
"It doesn't matter if you report," Ning Zhou stood up and shook hands with him: "We are both safe now. I would like to ask, how did you recognize me?"
Neither of them have taken off their makeup yet.
The man smiled: "I am in the media field, so I didn't care at first, but..."
He turned to look at the two staff members beside him.
We are not allowed to bring big machines with us, so we have replaced them with selfie sticks. These days, you can see live broadcasters everywhere, and passers-by are not surprised.
"I realized they were taking pictures of you, and they didn't say anything. Take a closer look.
But don't worry, you two, the makeup is very good. It's not easy to recognize unless you look carefully. "
This is definitely a true fan. He just came to chat for a few words and didn’t even ask for a photo. He said that his style should not be exposed.
Then, the staff member was glared at by Ning Zhou.
After getting on the plane, the flight attendant naturally recognized the two of them and the service was very attentive.
After about two hours of flight, we arrived at Rongcheng Airport.
"You don't need to, we can handle it ourselves."
Several accompanying staff members were still wondering, should you take the bus into the city, but as soon as they left, they saw an acquaintance.
Wang Kang!
The brother smiled with a flower on his face and held a sign in his hand.
"Welcome both teachers."
There is an airport in Shaxian County, but the flights are too few, so you can transfer there after you get to Rongcheng.
Although the program team has advanced the schedule of the two, the time to enter Shanghai Ming Dynasty is still 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Ning Zhou was in Rongcheng and had connections. Before boarding the plane, he sent Wang Kang a message.
As a local media and someone who had dealt with Ming Yue, how could he not know the next actions in Shanghai, but he didn't know exactly what to do.
We even received calls from local government departments asking how to get along.
Strictly speaking, they are all brothers, so Wang Kang naturally knows everything.
When Ning Zhou contacted him, he was so happy that he canceled the evening meeting.
I originally planned to make a banner, but I was worried that it would be too high-profile, but bringing nothing with me seemed disrespectful.
Take the middle value and get a small sign.
"haven't seen you for a long time!"
Wang Kang came well-prepared. He only put on makeup and was not disguising himself, so he quickly spotted the two of them from the crowd. He wanted to shout, but held it back and raised his right hand to signal.
He was quite measured. He hugged Ning Zhou and only shook hands slightly with Miss Zhao.
"Let's go, the car is outside."
There are many people here, so it's not a place for chatting. They don't have much luggage, so they just keep walking.
"them."
Wang Kang was still quite alert. After taking a few steps, he found someone else following him.
"Oh, staff," Ning Zhou looked back: "You don't have to follow me, goodbye!"
The faces of several people were a little depressed, which was different from what the director had told them, but they soon received a notice from the headquarters, so they left.
"Welcome to Rongcheng again!"
Only after getting in the car did Wang Kang laugh.
"Don't worry, I made a special observation when I came here, and there was absolutely no one following me."
"That's thoughtful."
Ning Zhou didn't attack, because the pursuers couldn't have thought that he would come here now, but they were here to help him.
"The accommodation has been arranged, let's go eat something now.
It's a private restaurant opened by my friend, absolutely safe."
When Chinese friends meet, they have to eat and drink.
Because Wang Kang said before getting on the plane that he would treat them well, the two of them kept their stomachs open.
It takes about an hour to get from the airport to the city.
After a brief reunion, both sides talked about business.
Wang Kang told all the information he had learned here.
Not much!
At present, it is known that the people who went to Huming were Mr. Huang and four others. Among them, Wugang was previously a member of the city's fire brigade, and they got married, bought a house and had children in the local area.
Miss Zhao looked at Ning Zhou with admiration, and he read her thoroughly.
Moreover, the municipal government stood on the side of the pursuers. Today, I saw a lot of related news, all of which were from the selfies of local citizens in the circle of friends.
"Mr. Huang is doing this as a roadshow."
The so-called roadshow is that before or during the release of a work, the main creative staff go to all parts of the country to communicate with the audience face to face to increase influence.
Huang Lei and others went to the business district to show up, isn't it to expand their influence?
Ning Zhou pondered, listening to Wang Kang's chatter while thinking.
No wonder the program team wants to provide the concept of shelter. If everyone is a soldier, in a small place like Huming, for them, the disadvantage is too great.
He even had an ominous premonition that it would be very difficult for all members to successfully persist for seven days in this cage competition.
"Brother Wang, do you have any very, very good friends in Huming?"
Wang Kang glanced at the rearview mirror and showed a guilty expression.
"Actually, I thought about it before you came. I only know people I know, but..."
The three of them understood what he said later.
A person may know tens of thousands of people in his life, but there may be only three or four real good friends.
He didn't dare to take the risk of introducing, and Ning Zhou couldn't take the risk of believing.
"But I have another idea.
For example, I find a friend's ID card and ask him to help open a room in the hotel, and then you take the room card to go in?"
"Don't worry about this. I will contact you later if I need it."
Ning Zhou didn't rush to agree.
In his opinion, staying in a hotel is too risky.
Huang Zitao said that there are bounties for several people at the bus stop.
If the pursuer is not stupid, he can post them in the hotel lobby, front desk, elevator, corridor and other places.
And explain that if the guest does not come out of that room for a long time, he can report it. There is no place to run.
But Wang Kang means well, don't let him down.
"But Brother Kang, can you help me get a car tomorrow?"
"No problem."
Wang Kang's mentality now is to help as much as possible, and he hurriedly agreed when he heard this.
"It's okay to have two cars, and they will definitely not be found."
"One is fine, but the grade of the car can be slightly higher."
Ning Zhou thought about it.
"A little bit, no Maybach, or sports car, about 500,000 or 600,000."
"No problem, leave it to me."
Miss Zhao didn't say anything, she knew why Ning Zhou, who always asked for ordinary cars, suddenly planned to change cars.
The safe house belongs to a high-end community. If you drive a car worth tens of thousands of yuan in, the security guards will probably take a second look, and it must be in line with your status.
"What about the money? Do you need money?"
"It's okay for now, thank you Brother Wang."
"Hey, why are you being polite to me? Just ask for anything."
Chatting and laughing all the way, we arrived in the urban area of Rongcheng. When we arrived, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
This private restaurant is indeed in a good location and quite quiet.
Once the door was closed, nothing could be seen or heard from outside. In addition, before arriving, they had already been told to serve the dishes in advance and not to have waiters, so there were only four of them.
The host Qiu Tian was also there, and took a bunch of photos with the two of them like a fangirl.
Knowing that the two had to drive tomorrow, Wang Kang did not persuade them to drink, but instead they each drank a bottle of cold beer.
To relieve fatigue.
After hearing that they were going to Hu Ming, Qiu Tian gave a phone number of her college classmate, who was currently working there.
They had a good relationship, and they had been roommates for four years. However, whether they could help or not, and whether they needed it, was up to Ning Zhou to decide.
Ning Zhou thanked them and said he would keep it for later.
They didn't drink much, so the meal ended quickly.
Wang Kang didn't drive after drinking, and the two of them were also staying at Qiu Tian's place tonight, and were taken there by the young lady.
"So, are you guys staying in one room, or two?"
