first day.
It was raining lightly in Central City at six in the morning.
Qi Jun crossed his legs and sat under the awning of the old teahouse.
He likes this kind of rainy weather best.
It was quiet except for the patter of rain.
There is a cup of light tea at hand, and the scent of tea slowly rises, blending into the thousands of strands falling from the sky.
"Mr. Qi, health experts say that drinking tea on an empty stomach is not good. Why don't you try my tea?" asked the middle-aged man who runs the old teahouse.
"None of those health experts have lived past sixty." Qi Jun smiled, "Give me some, so I can try your craftsmanship."
The sound of footsteps coming from far and near came from the fine rain curtain.
The long-handled umbrella is like a black lotus flower, floating gently in the rain curtain.
A group of people came under the awning.
Shake the rain off the umbrella.
Close the umbrella.
They are all acquaintances.
"How can you behave like an old man at the age of more than thirty years old?" Fatty Jiang muttered.
"Haha, the pace of life in the central city is slow. We all live like this, and we can live one day at a time." Qi Jun said with a smile.
Lu Wen hung his umbrella aside and said to the boss inside: "Get some morning tea. We haven't had breakfast yet, so we just need to deal with it."
"No problem, please wait a moment."
The boss went in and got busy.
Everyone found a place to sit down.
It’s also good to listen to the sound of rain early in the morning, just to wash your soul.
"Have there been any killings by androids in Central City these days?" Lu Wen asked.
"There are killings by androids every day here in Central City. It's nothing new. We are used to it." Qi Jun replied.
"Is there anything unusual?"
"It hasn't been found yet."
It seems that Zero is still in the adapting stage.
Such a huge data center should be a challenge for her.
The continuous android incidents in the past few days are probably her attempts.
She's trying to control more androids a little bit.
"Everyone has only been away for a few days, so why are you back? Is there anything else?" Qi Jun asked with a smile.
While talking, the boss brought black tea to everyone.
The tea residue has been filtered.
Clear and transparent light red, with a few jasmine petals sprinkled on the tea.
It also smells of honey.
Xia Chuluo took a sip of tea and said calmly: "Inform all the residents under the shadow that they can begin to evacuate. It is best to leave within one day."
Qi Jun was stunned.
What this means...
"You are going to attack the floating city? But you only have so many people... Is it a bomb? Did Mr. Xia leave it behind?" He immediately thought of the crux of the problem.
To be able to become the leader of an organization, you still have this understanding.
"right."
"I'll notify people immediately to make arrangements."
"Try to be as hidden as possible."
"no problem."
Thus began a great evacuation.
In the hazy rain and fog, many residents brought their families and valuables with them.
After the last fall from the sky incident, many people had lingering fears and never moved back.
Xia Chuluo spent a large amount of money on the resettlement of those residents.
Many people were initially reluctant to leave, but after seeing the money Xia Chuluo gave them, they immediately agreed.
There are many houses in the central city.
When it was prosperous, a large area was expanded outwards, but now those areas are empty.
"Miss Xia is really... so rich." Qi Jun couldn't help but sigh.
The money Xia Chuluo gave was enough for the evacuated residents to buy a brand new house.
There's even some left.
"Mr. Xia dug up a lot of pre-war treasures back then, and those treasures were all left to Miss Xia. To be honest, I don't even know how much money Miss Xia has," said Fatty Jiang.
This is the first time Xia Chuluo has shown everyone the power of her money.
In the past, problems were solved by force and intelligence.
"Lu Wen, do you know how much money Miss Xia has?" Fatty Jiang asked.
"I don't know." Lu Wen shook his head.
"Your predecessor was a housekeeping android. Helping your employer spend money is your biggest responsibility. The money for androids basically come from their employers. If you don't have money, you won't be able to survive in this society..."
"But I'm also rich."
Lu Wen's words made Fatty Jiang stunned.
The power of money hit this fat man hard.
Yin Long’s legacy.
As a former blue engineer, holding numerous patents, and the best-selling author in Mowu City, the old man also had more money than he could spend in a few lifetimes.
He left 100 million points for Lu Wen.
Ask Daisy to donate the rest.
“Some residents are unwilling to move,” said a young man at the secret door.
"Then knock him unconscious and take him away by force." Qi Jun said calmly: "Don't worry too much. Notifying them is already the most benevolent thing."
As the most powerful local organization.
The secret door called on many other organizations to help with the transfer.
When they heard that they were planning to take action against that high-altitude city, many people were a little afraid, but most of them were excited.
They are doing something unprecedented and great.
Bring that arrogant myth to life.
"Mom, why are we leaving?" A little girl was holding a schoolbag. She turned to look at the large-scale evacuation of people around her, her eyes full of doubts.
"I heard that the city above us is unstable and could fall at any time. And if we leave, we still have money to take... We can't earn that money by picking up scrap metal by the river all our lives..."
On the dilapidated central city roads.
The dilapidated vans were loaded with residents and household appliances and headed to safer places.
"Tell me after the evacuation is complete and I will take them to take a rest. It is quite tiring running back and forth." Xia Chuluo said.
"No problem, I'll do it as soon as possible."
…
Thin raindrops hit the newly renovated glass windows of the hotel.
There are not many people staying in the hotel these days.
Those who came to Central City to grab the invitations all left.
The store owner is counting his remaining money and planning where to spend the rest of his life after selling the store.
"Fortunately, those group of embryo killers are gone. It's rare to live a stable life these days."
A quiet hotel is also quite nice, as there is no need to rush around.
The boss has even contacted the buyer and packaged everything in the hotel for sale.
"I hope I never run into those guys again in the rest of my life."
"Squeak..."
The old hotel door was pushed open.
The boss has heard this familiar sound of opening and closing doors countless times.
He was still a little surprised. Who would come to stay at the hotel this early in the morning
So he looked up.
The next moment everyone was stunned.
"Xia...Miss Xia..."
"Um."
Xia Chuluo threw out a stack of banknotes.
"It's still the same on the third floor. Remember to make breakfast early every day. Don't make it too light. Is there any problem?"
"No... of course no problem."
The store owner was about to cry.
He now wanted to slap himself twice to see if he was having a nightmare.
But the clarity of reality left him unable to accept this bleak life.
The team at the door was carrying large and small bags upstairs.
This quiet hotel suddenly became lively again.
Lu Wen was still sitting on the window side of the hotel, and the rain slowly flowed along the glass window.
After that invitation craziness, Central City seemed a lot calmer.
He is waiting for someone.
It didn't take long.
That person is coming.
Luo Xunfeng, the former Archdeacon of the Floating City.
He changed into ordinary people's clothes and still looked energetic, but his previously fair skin seemed to be a little tanned.
It's only been a few days, and the July sun is really fierce.
Luo Xunfeng sat opposite Lu Wen.
"You want to blow up the floating city?"
"To be precise, it is to continue to finish the things that the older generation has not finished." Lu Wen replied.
"There is no need to use such drastic measures. That city has been floating for decades. Although the people above are arrogant,... but..."
Luo Xunfeng was stared at by Lu Wen's calm eyes.
At this time, I was somewhat speechless.
The sickness in that city is so severe.
So is Central City.
He knew full well that both cities were sick, so he fell from the sky to find the source of this sickness.
"It's not just arrogance." Lu Wen said slowly, "People above have been suppressing the development of science and technology below. They are afraid that the second floating city will appear and that their own myth will be broken. This mentality will become more and more serious."
"So the best thing to do is to bring it to the ground?"
"Do you think there is a better way?" Lu Wen looked into Luo Xunfeng's eyes.
Luo Xunfeng was silent for a long time.
The answer is of course no.
But he didn't want to admit it, that was where he grew up.
"Are you completely sure that you have captured the floating city?"
"Then it depends on whether that guy Xia Zheng will cheat his daughter."
"But there are still more than one million people in the floating city, and their lives matter."
