The architecture of this city is quite special.
Classicism and Baroque styles are intertwined.
Beige is the main color, and the overall pursuit of solemnity, grandeur and complete unity. Semi-circular domes and well-proportioned columns appear on many buildings, giving a strong sense of hierarchy.
Exquisite reliefs and colorful gemstones embellish each other, giving these buildings a unique beauty.
"These northerners must have obsessive-compulsive disorder, the buildings are so symmetrical," said Fatty Jiang.
“It feels like even the length-to-width ratio has been strictly calculated.”
"Ah sneeze!"
Lu Yang sneezed.
He rubbed his nose and said angrily: "Why do you feel a little cold... Brother Lu, what do you think?"
"I can adjust my body surface temperature. If you feel cold, you can hold me." Lu Wen said lightly.
"This... let's forget it."
"You're so old and you're still coy, so forget it if you don't want to hug me. Brother Lu, I'll hug him!" Fatty Jiang shook his fat body, opened his arms and walked towards Lu Wen.
"Okay, stop making trouble and find some clothes to wear by yourself."
When Xia Chuluo spoke, he immediately became honest.
It's summer now.
But the temperature at the airport was only 18 degrees, which made the group wearing short-sleeves a little confused.
I was very excited before coming.
After all, they were a group of experienced mercenaries, but none of them had ever investigated the weather.
Even Fatty Jiang, who was always afraid of death and would investigate everything before going out, neglected this point.
It feels like these people are just here to travel.
"My friends, do you need a guide? I can find you some locals."
Captain Anatole was very enthusiastic.
"No, no, no, someone is coming to pick us up. This journey is going to be troublesome."
"That's good, enjoy this journey, this city is full of surprises."
…
Outside the airport.
An old antique was pacing back and forth.
If you are knowledgeable, you will definitely be surprised. This is one of Bilan’s first generation bionic humans, numbered A05. Now the price of this first generation has soared to hundreds of millions.
There are only nineteen units of the first generation in total, and each one has a strong collection value.
With the development of science and technology and bionic human technology, these antiques will only become more and more valuable.
"Ah~ my friends, you are finally here."
A05 speaks with a standard northern accent.
He was arranged here by Eden to welcome Xia Chuluo and others.
"Awaited."
Everyone also saw this android.
The bionic material on his exterior is gone, and what has been exposed to the years is the criss-crossing metal supports and internal blood vessels. Many of the lines can be clearly seen.
The metal skeleton glows with a bronze luster, and there are rusts in some places. After all, it is no match for time.
"Ms. Xia, do you need to take a walk in the city?" A05 asked politely.
"No need, take us directly to Eden." Xia Chuluo said.
"Okay, everyone, please wait a moment."
Not long after, several black off-road vehicles drove over.
Lu Wen was still in the same car as Xia Chuluo.
As a special being with the strongest combat power on the scene and a reaction speed so fast that he can block bullets, his biggest role is to protect Xia Chuluo's safety.
Before getting on the bus, he shook hands with A05.
But this first generation did not have the function of data transmission through contact.
A05 apologized, saying that it has not been upgraded in so many years, and all parts and configurations are the same as they were eighty years ago.
However, he finally provided his own data interface, allowing Lu Wen to read the data at will.
This trusting attitude reassured everyone a lot.
"Do you think this city is different from your cities in the south?" A05 asked while driving.
Fatty Jiang was sitting in the passenger seat of the car. He looked at the scenery outside the window and said seriously: "The temperature has dropped a lot."
"Other than that?"
"Well...it seems like there are a lot of drunks on the street."
On the streets, there are fewer homeless people than in the two southern cities.
But there are quite a few drunks.
You can often see a lot of men on the street with red faces, staggering, and talking vaguely.
The winter in this city is particularly cold, and once you get drunk in the snow, you may not be able to get up.
Lu Wen could even see it.
At the entrance of a restaurant.
There is actually a sign like "Beware of Drunkards" posted, and it is a very formal sign, not a joke.
"well… "
Fatty Jiang suddenly sighed, as if he was moved by the scene.
"I remembered that when I was in my teens, I participated in a cyber hacking competition and met a girl from this city. Her name was Kristina. She was very beautiful and could speak three languages... Later, we communicated during the competition. , she told me that it is difficult to find a reliable man here in the north, and many men are alcoholics. "
"This is indeed a problem in the north. Street pharmacies are not allowed to sell medicinal alcohol."
A05 talked about the current situation.
"But it's much better now. There are special sobering stations. If the executive finds someone drunk or delirious on the street, he will send those guys to the sobering station... Apart from that? Have you noticed any other differences? ?”
Lu Wen looked out the window seriously for a while and said, "The residents of this city get along more harmoniously with the androids. I haven't seen any banners against the androids until now."
"Right, that is it."
This was the first time Lu Wen had seen such a harmonious look.
In Mowu City, you can often see people holding plaques on the street. Most of the contents on the plaques are against bionic people.
Those people would sometimes take the initiative to attack the androids, arouse the anger of the androids, and induce the beaten androids to violate the laws of the androids and eventually die.
Logically speaking, this is considered intentional damage to other people's property, but the executive bureau generally doesn't care much about it.
"Humans and androids were talking and laughing while walking together. This kind of scene is rare to see in Mowu City. The impression that the city gave me was mostly cloudy, numb, and cold."
"This is the charm of the north." A05 said with a smile.
The vehicle he drove was at the front and drove all the way out of Kerry City.
The no man's land in the north is also very different from that in the south.
The soil here is harder, there is less wind and sand, there are many weeds and shrubs, and countless lives are resurrected in this no-man's land.
Cree City has also been trying to slowly expand its territory over the years, but it has been very slow. The population of the two northern cities is very small.
The ones with the really larger population are Mowu City in the south and the two big cities in the east.
The two cities in the West used to have developed economies and indeed had a lot of people, but now they have fallen into chaos and the population has not been counted for a long time.
"Leave Kerry City and drive six hours further north, which is where Eden is. You can enjoy the no-man's land in the north." A05 said.
Fatty Jiang felt there was nothing interesting to see, so he lowered his head and fell asleep again.
Xia Chuluo listened to music with headphones.
This situation was rare, and Lu Wen knew that she was probably trying to calm herself down and think about what kind of password her father would leave behind.
At this moment, someone suddenly called.
This is from Yin June.
Could it be that this girl has had enough of being with her family
This call was made to the body on the 9th, but that body was currently discussing where to go next with many android leaders, so Lu Wen transferred to this body.
"June, what's the matter?"
"Lu Wen, have you contacted Dr. Guo Jiang these days? I suddenly couldn't contact him."
"The doctor just cooperated with me a few days ago, doing things here in Central City." Lu Wen replied.
"Why don't you try to contact the doctor?"
"OK."
Dr. Jiang left many contact information for Lu Wen.
Making a phone call is just the most traditional one.
Lu Wen called over.
No one answered.
So he tried another method.
Still can't contact anyone.
Lu Wen recalled the scenes of communication with the doctor in the past few days.
After Dr. Jiang made a copy of Wuya's four chips, he returned to Baker City. He came to consciousness and came and went without a trace.
"The doctor should be working on the 'No. 1 chip' right now. Why can't he be contacted?"
"Lu Wen, will something happen to the doctor?" Yin June asked on the other end.
"Don't worry, Doctor won't get into trouble so easily."
Lu Wen frowned.
Dr. Jiang... This is a bionic man who is everywhere.
…
Good night, fellow book friends!
