Chapter 1651 What do you think of the cemetery investment project?
In fact, Crescent City is another name for the city of New Orleans.
However, in New Orleans, there is an old city that has always maintained the title of Crescent City.
Also because that neighborhood is relatively old-fashioned, that neighborhood is very traditional in terms of architectural style and atmosphere.
Listen to Portia introduce allusions to the city of New Orleans.
Chen Zhao couldn't help but interjected: "Crescent City has such a stylish name, why should it be renamed New Orleans?"
"New Orleans is named after the Duke of Orleans, the regent of Louis XV of France." Portia said: "But New Orleans has another name, you must not know it."
"what name?"
"City of the Dead."
"Isn't this name too ominous?" Chen Zhao frowned.
"Actually, it's because the terrain of New Orleans is relatively low, and it is built on a swamp, which is almost the same as the water level. If you dig down two or three meters, water will seep in. Therefore, the tombs and coffins of the deceased here are all suspended. They were not buried underground, but stored in tombs on the ground. However, this also led to several plagues in New Orleans, all because the corpses were not buried in the ground, and the name of the City of the Dead came from this."
Portia paused and then added: "Fifteen years ago, Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. Several cemeteries in New Orleans were almost razed to the ground, and thousands of corpses were blown all over by the hurricane. They are everywhere in the city, making the name of the City of the Dead even louder and louder.”
Chen Zhao frowned: "I'm not going to Crescent City anymore. Take me to several cemeteries in the city."
Portia was speechless.
Instead of shopping, go to the cemetery.
Is this too full?
"Boss, what is there to see in those places?"
"I just want to see the hanging tomb." Chen Zhao said calmly.
Portia was speechless at Chen Zhao's inconsistent style.
But what can she do.
She is a personal assistant.
She can only do what the boss says.
Portia sent Chen Zhao to a cemetery.
Most cities place cemeteries in suburban areas.
However, in New Orleans, many cemeteries are within the city limits.
Portia doesn't like coming to the cemetery.
No one likes it.
But there is no way.
Chen Zhao was coming, so she had no choice but to follow him.
Chen Zhao got out of the car, and Portia followed suit.
Visiting the cemetery, luckily he thought of it.
Portia followed behind Chen Zhao.
I have been thinking about it.
Chen Zhao discovered that the terrain of this cemetery was indeed very low.
Some turf still seeps water when you step on it.
However, what puzzled Chen Zhao was.
Chen Zhao didn't feel too strong aura in this cemetery.
You know, putting a body on the ground is risky.
There will be more than just plagues.
Necromorphosis is more likely to occur.
Once a corpse comes into contact with the moon's irradiation, it is likely to transform into a zombie.
The design of this kind of tomb can gather yin and disperse yang.
So it stands to reason that the Yin Qi in this cemetery should be very strong.
But why is the Yin Qi here so weak?
Not even as good as cemeteries in other cities.
Chen Zhao continued to walk in the cemetery.
Most of the mausoleums in the cemetery maintain European architectural styles.
In fact, it is a scaled down version.
Some of the tombs in the cemetery are relatively new.
Many of the older parts were seriously damaged.
Portia was very uncomfortable.
Not everyone can stand in front of a stranger's tomb for a few minutes.
"Are you feeling very uncomfortable?" Chen Zhao looked back at Portia.
Portia's face looked quite ugly.
Is not this nonsensical?
are you comfortable?
Well, there seems to be no other expression on Chen Zhao's face.
There's something wrong here.
This is the conclusion Chen Zhao came to.
But it’s no use even knowing there’s a problem here.
Chen Zhao can send Sam and Vicari to guard the two problematic areas.
But how to guard the cemetery?
The cemetery is an open area, and many people come to visit the graves every day.
Even if someone comes with an ulterior motive, it is impossible to tell them apart.
Unless Chen Zhao is guarding this place personally.
But Chen Zhao had no intention of spending the night here.
"Take me to other cemeteries again."
"Boss, what are you doing in the cemetery?"
"I plan to invest in a cemetery."
Phew——
Portia almost breathed her last.
"Boss, are you kidding me?"
"No, you will make me a cemetery investment and construction plan in the next three days."
"..."
"Boss, cemeteries are usually open spaces opened by the government. There is no investment, and no one has ever invested in a cemetery."
Portia wanted to stop Chen Zhao's stupid idea.
"Okay." Chen Zhao shrugged.
Portia breathed a sigh of relief.
It's so dangerous, what on earth is going through the mind of my boss?
How could you have such a weird idea?
Portia hurriedly drove away with Chen Zhao.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Portia's mind.
"Boss, are you kidding me?"
Chen Zhao slowly turned his head: "What?"
"You just said you wanted to invest in a cemetery."
Portia saw the mocking look in Chen Zhao's eyes.
This bastard is really kidding himself.
Chen Zhao walked around several cemeteries one after another.
Portia was going crazy anyway.
This guy must be crazy.
It doesn't matter if you go to the park, go to the mall, or even go to the street.
What is there to see in a cemetery?
And I enjoyed shopping so much.
"Okay, let's go back to the hotel." Chen Zhao said.
…
The Lake Pontchartrain Bridge has an artificial island covering an area of approximately two square kilometers.
This is a leisure area integrating leisure, shopping and entertainment.
Many vehicles going back and forth will go around this recreational area.
But last night, something happened here.
After twelve o'clock last night, the place was covered in fog.
Dozens of employees in the leisure area have also lost contact with the outside world.
According to reports, a body was found on the deck of the Lake Pontchartrain Bridge.
and identified as an employee of the recreation area.
The police then dispatched a team into the recreation area.
But now, even the people who the police entered have disappeared and have completely lost contact.
Then the military announced the closure of the bridge and temporarily took over the Lake Pontchartrain Bridge.
Even the military now knows very little about the conditions in the recreation area.
High-altitude satellites are also unable to penetrate recreational areas.
The military once sent two helicopters to hover over the recreation area.
However, both helicopters crashed in the recreation area.
The situation becomes more complicated.
But the military still has no way of knowing what happened inside.
Demi has a terrible headache now, and the Lake Pontchartrain Bridge is the main road.
The daily traffic volume is close to 50,000 vehicles.
Every extra minute she was locked down made her more stressed.
From the city government to her immediate boss, everyone is constantly urging her to solve the problem as soon as possible.
