More than an hour later, the speed car arrived at the wine city.

After the speed car got off the air tunnel and sped on the road, Long Jiu opened the car window, and a faint aroma of wine immediately came in from outside.

Long Jiu sniffed it gently and said in surprise: "No wonder this place is called the Wine City. Even the air is filled with the aroma of wine."

It's just that Long Jiu doesn't know much about human drinks nowadays, so she only smells good, but she can't tell what kind of wine the aroma of wine in the air comes from.

After confirming that he couldn't tell the difference, Long Jiu asked Xiao Tingyun: "What kind of wine is this? It smells good."

In fact, she wanted to say that not only did it smell good, it probably tasted good too.

Xiao Tingyun did not let go of the greed in her eyes, and chuckled, saying: "It's the best brandy. The Liquor City is rich in all kinds of drinks, and the most famous one is this kind of the best brandy that is only available in the Liquor City."

Long Jiu pursed the corners of his mouth unconsciously, and the greed in his eyes was revealed on his face.

"Want to drink?" Xiao Tingyun asked knowingly.

Long Jiu nodded immediately, she really wanted to drink.

Xiao Tingyun smiled, but said: "I can't let you drink now. After all, I have to take you to play. It's so early in the morning. It wouldn't be good to play with you smelling like alcohol."

Although it took them two hours to arrive at the wine city, the time now was not yet nine o'clock. Even if Xiao Tingyun indulged Long Jiu, there was no way he would let her go drinking so early in the morning.

However, Long Jiu was quite content and didn't insist on drinking now. Anyway, she knew she could drink today. She didn't care if it was earlier or later.

It took another twenty minutes for the two of them to finally reach the Drunken Red Sea.

Xiao Tingyun parked the speed car in a special parking lot by the seaside and took Long Jiu to the seaside by familiar routes.

Although it is only after nine in the morning, there are already many people at the beach.

Because he knew there were many people here and was afraid of being recognized, Xiao Tingyun had the foresight to put the masks and hats he had prepared on his and Long Jiu's faces and heads when they got off the bus.

There is a very beautiful blue and white building near the seaside. Xiao Tingyun led Long Jiu and came here first.

Long Jiu looked at the people coming and going around him and asked curiously: "What are you doing here? Aren't you going to take me to the underwater world? What are you doing here?"

Xiao Tingyun protected her and carefully avoided the people passing by, and explained: "I came here because I want to go to the underwater world. This is the ticket hall, and it is also the entrance to the tunnel to enter the underwater world."

Long Jiu nodded with a sudden look on her face, but she still said doubtfully: "But when we came in just now, we didn't see the 101 undersea tunnels you mentioned."

Xiao Tingyun gently pulled her to him to protect her, then hugged her and walked forward, saying: "The undersea tunnel is underground, you will be able to see it later."

There were no ticket sales staff in the crowded hall, only rows and rows of automatic ticket vending machines, and there was a fairly long queue in front of each automatic ticket vending machine.

Xiao Tingyun did not queue up first, but escorted Long Jiu to the waiting area nearby. This waiting area was probably specially prepared for children, so it was very cutely decorated, and you could see all kinds of oceans everywhere.

The creature dolls, even the sofas and chairs they sit on are soft dolls.

Xiao Tingyun left Long Jiu here, and handed her a pink starfish doll, as if he was telling a child: "I'll queue over there to buy tickets, and you can stay here."

Wait for me here, don’t run around, be good.”

Long Jiu looked at the many young mothers playing with their children across the street with a dark look on her face, and felt as if she had become one of those little cubs whose legs were not as long as hers.

However, Xiao Tingyun smiled at her with his eyes bent, then reached out and rubbed her head again through the hat, and then left.

Long Jiu: "......"

Be a good ghost!

Long Jiu lowered his eyes and looked at the pink starfish doll in his hand. After grinding his teeth and rubbing it vigorously a few times, he immediately threw the thing away, got up and started to look around.

The ticket vending machine was so crowded with people that within a short time Xiao Tingyun was no longer visible.

Long Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly, then walked out of the waiting area, turned around and walked towards the business district on the other side.

Although this is a ticketing hall, it is not just for ticketing. The huge hall is divided into several areas, and there are even two floors above.

It was the first time for Long Jiu to come here, and everything he saw felt new, so he followed his curiosity and ran out to go shopping on his own, forgetting Xiao Tingyun's warning of 'don't run around'.

The commercial area on the first floor was full of shops selling food. Long Jiu couldn't help but linger here. Before long, her hands were filled with food and drink.

The mask she was wearing on her face had already been taken off by Long Jiu because she thought it was in the way. She took the escalator directly to the second floor while eating and drinking.

The second floor is full of shops selling dolls and trinkets. Although Long Jiu is not interested in the starfish, he particularly likes the small doll pendants that can be hung on bags.

There were green little turtle pendants, blue little dolphin pendants, black and white killer whale pendants, and even golden little dragon pendants, which dazzled Long Jiu. At the same time, Long Jiu also threw these pendants away casually.

In the small basket in hand.

By the time Long Jiu finished shopping, her little basket was filled with all these small pendants.

Long Jiu gained a lot, and she went to the front desk to check out with a basket full of small pendants. After finishing the check, her eyes fell on the shop next door selling cartoon hats, scarves, and gloves.

.

Long Jiu turned around and walked over immediately.

But before Long Jiu could enter the store this time, the central broadcasting station in the ticket hall suddenly rang, followed by a gentle female voice coming from the central broadcasting station.

"Kid Long Xiaojiu, your brother is looking for you. After hearing the announcement, please go to the waiting area on the first floor immediately. Your brother is waiting for you there-------!"

This missing person broadcast was broadcast three times in a row, and now everyone in the ticket hall knew that a child named Long Xiaojiu was lost.

As for the lost child Long Xiaojiu: "..."

She didn't want to go to the waiting area on the first floor. She just wanted to cover her face and leave immediately because it was so embarrassing!

She never thought that Xiao Tingyun would go to the radio station to look for someone after he couldn't find her. He could obviously communicate with her, or he could use their two personal terminals tied together to locate her, but he

But I didn't do that...

Xiao Tingyun clearly did it on purpose!

Xiao Tingyun did do it on purpose, so when Long Jiu covered his face and returned to the waiting area, he saw an obvious narrow smile in Xiao Tingyun's eyes as he looked over.

Long Jiu angrily threw the bag containing a large number of doll accessories in his hand at him. After Xiao Tingyun caught it easily, he said angrily: "Brother, you are really bad!"

Xiao Tingyun raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and asked with a smile: "Am I the one who is bad? Or are you too disobedient? Hmm? Little friend Long Xiaojiu."

Long Jiu stared at him and gritted his teeth.

Xiao Tingyun stood still in front of her, leaned over slightly and looked at her closely, and asked in a low voice with a smile: "Did I tell you not to run around? But when I come back after buying the ticket, I will see my home.

The child is missing, so I can only go to the radio station to report the missing person."

Long Jiu felt guilty after hearing this, and his eyes suddenly drifted to the side, "I won't really get lost." After speaking, he glared at him confidently, "And after you found out that I was missing, you could obviously call me, but you still

With that position, you can also find me, why are you looking for me in such a shameful way?"

Xiao Tingyun stood still and said with a half-smile: "I will teach you a lesson so that you will be obedient in the future."

Long Jiu was angry.

However, Xiao Tingyun smiled, reached out and took her and walked out. As he walked, he said: "Don't be angry, I will take you to the underwater world."

Upon hearing this, Long Jiu couldn't care less about being angry and obediently let him lead him away.

But Xiao Tingyun did not take her to the ticket sales hall, but walked towards another area where tall glass doors were erected. There were more than a dozen doors in total, and there were queues in front of each door.

The two of them lined up at the end of one of the queues. When Long Jiu looked forward curiously, Xiao Tingyun explained her doubts: "Did you see the metal door behind the glass door? After checking in, it is the passage of the undersea tunnel.

After we enter, we need to take a special tour bus for the tunnel, and then we will go all the way to the bottom of the sea."

Long Jiu blinked and asked curiously: "What then?"

Xiao Tingyun glanced at her with a smile, and then said: "First we will go sightseeing along the way, and when we get out of the tunnel, we will reach the underwater world."

Long Jiu nodded thoughtfully, and the two of them slowly moved forward with the team.

When it was their turn, Xiao Tingyun handed the ticket in his hand to the ticket inspection robot at the door for verification, and then the two entered the glass door. After another verification, the metal door opened with a click.

It was pitch dark behind the metal door, with only the blue wall lamps that were lit for the atmosphere emitting some faint light, so that those who came in would not be dismayed at first glance.

Three meters in front of the two people, a transparent spherical sightseeing car slowly descended from above, and then got stuck on the special track with a few clicks.

Xiao Tingyun and Long Jiu sat on it, and the hatch of the sightseeing car closed immediately and then slowly started.

After sitting in this big ball-like sightseeing car, Long Jiu could see clearly in front of him. A transparent tunnel made of unknown material stretched all the way down with no end in sight. From the outside of the tunnel, he could see that it was not smooth.

of sand and soil.

After the sightseeing car walked slowly for a while, the soil outside the tunnel disappeared and entered the sea.

Lights are installed every half meter inside and outside the tunnel, so people inside can clearly see what's going on outside.

As the tunnel goes deeper into the sea, there are more underwater creatures outside the tunnel. Even behind the schools of fish and jellyfish, you can occasionally see a few dolphins swimming by together.

Long Jiu stared outside seriously, but Xiao Tingyun, who was sitting next to her, turned his body slightly and lazily leaned on the armrest and looked at her with a smile.

Until a tunnel finally came to an end, the hatch slowly opened.

Xiao Tingyun went down first, then stretched out his hand and handed it to her, smiling: "Here we are."

Long Jiu followed Xiao Tingyun's hand and jumped out of the sightseeing car. When the two of them walked out of the tunnel completely, even though Long Jiu had never seen a big scene again, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

This is a man-made underwater world. All people and buildings are protected in a huge glass-like protective cover. When you look up, you can see the deep sea water, and occasionally large and huge whales swim slowly above your head.

There are a variety of amusement equipment here, and there are children's laughter and exclamations everywhere, and there are also cheerful songs interspersed with the laughter of these children.

Long Jiu looked at it for a while, then looked back at Xiao Tingyun with surprise, and asked: "How are we going to play?"

Xiao Tingyun looked up at a huge holographic screen not far away, and then said: "Let's go to Area A first. It is said that you can have close contact with marine life there."
