The famous city of Shanghai, the economic center city of the Allied Powers, has been recognized as the safest city in the world in this era.
All industries prosper, singing and dancing flourish. A prosperous and peaceful atmosphere.
Since the outbreak of the First Line of Defense War, various media outlets have been reporting on it. The content is the same, nothing more than that today the heroic mecha warriors on the front line destroyed a certain giant monster again, how tall it was, how many tons it weighed, what Force powers it had, and so on. It is rare to see reports about the intense fighting on the front lines and the heavy casualties suffered by the mecha warriors.
People are accustomed to choosing to believe the voices they want to believe. In order to attract attention, the media does their best to whitewash things, regardless of the facts. The league's top executives are also happy to sit back and watch the media sing praises and songs of joy. Occasionally discordant voices calling out the truth were quickly silenced by the surging public opinion and powerful interest groups.
As the dream city of this era, the city in the sky is the most popular livable city in the world. In this super metropolis with a population of over 100 million, housing prices have risen to an average price of 600,000 per square meter. For ordinary outsiders, owning a home in this city is already the highest goal in life.
Artificial intelligence is everywhere in the city, and you can even occasionally see advertising images of Schroeder looking majestically into the future. In this giant oriental city that has always been considered the most adept at accepting new things, nothing is absolutely unacceptable. Even the three major allies in the world have listed this red-skinned giant as the second most wanted criminal. In this city, you can still find his followers and followers of the theory that artificial intelligence will rule the world.
Strolling through the city streets that were once familiar but are now unfamiliar. Lao Li had mixed feelings in his heart. This city has changed too much. All public facilities have been replaced with very humane artificial intelligence equipment. Cleaning vehicles that automatically clean the streets, smart police that automatically patrol, and urban public transportation that runs automatically. Under the artificial intelligence program, the city no longer needs managers, but it can keep everything in order.
In the night, there are tall buildings with dazzling lights everywhere. After fusion technology was applied to the energy field, mankind has completely solved the problem of power supply. At the same time, power wireless transmission technology makes power use safer.
Lao Li strolled to the door of a villa and manor. The former owner of this house, He Kunqi, has long immigrated abroad, and the current owner is Yuan Chengde, a former antiques tycoon and now a famous scholar, producer, and talk show host. Although he is over sixty years old, he is still in good spirits, has a son and a daughter, and lives a happy life.
Under the old willow tree in front of the door, there are still traces of the past on the stone table.
Lao Li walked over and sat down.
The small river of the past has disappeared, replaced by a beautiful green belt garden landscape. Looking along the former river and now the green belt path, you can see a rare leisure scene in this busy city.
A drunk man staggered over, passed by Lao Li, and walked straight to the gate of Yuan's house without turning a corner.
There were constant knocks on the door, accompanied by drunken men shouting unscrupulously.
Lao Li's heart moved. He didn't recognize the person just now. Now when he heard the familiar accent, he immediately realized that the drunk man was Wang Hongjun.
The main purpose of coming back this time was to complete the tasks assigned by Bai Wuxia, and also planned to visit some old friends.
News came from Elai that the two treasures Bai Wuxia was looking for were both in Qianling. After reading a large amount of historical materials, he used the secret method of holding back the treasure gate to locate the whereabouts of the thing, but it was not easy to get it. He organized his troops to make an attempt, but almost lost his life in a strange gate formation below. Only then did Lao Li realize that what Bai Wuxia wanted was not two treasures, but probably something important hidden in the Qianling Mausoleum.
According to what Evilai said, the formation was a strange space that could not only trap people, but also contained many powerful traps. The several high-level awakened people who were traveling with him were all trapped first and became restless, and then accidentally fell into it. Got the move. Even with his ability, he couldn't figure out the truth. Fortunately, he didn't take out any objects there at the time, and he got out of trouble later without knowing what happened.
Things that E Lai couldn't explain clearly after personal experience were understood by Lao Li as soon as he heard them. There is probably something powerful trapped in that so-called mysterious space. The test given by Bai Wuxia was indeed not simple. The so-called treasure acquisition was just a pretext, she actually had another purpose. Therefore, there is no need to rush to tell the truth immediately, this matter needs to be considered in the long term.
The former Wang Hongjun was implicated by Brother Xiaoye and went bankrupt first and then went to jail. After that, he regained his freedom through the intervention of Chen Binghui, and has not been heard from since. I thought that this old boy would probably go back to Coal City to enjoy peace and happiness, but unexpectedly he would meet him here and end up in this unlucky state. I can't help but wonder: Logically speaking, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if this guy goes bankrupt, he won't be able to get to this point, right
The door of Yuan's house was closed tightly. Wang Hongjun knocked and shouted. After struggling for a while, there was no movement. He gradually became tired, so he simply sat at the door and waited.
Lao Li just wanted to secretly visit his old friend, but because of Bai Wuxia's words, he could only stand still and watch silently.
Wang Hongjun leaned against the door of Yuan's house, cursing and talking to himself.
"Yuan Chengde, you are such a coward. If you don't agree to me, your military brother will not let you stop." This guy stood up unsteadily, looked around, and finally found it. Half a piece of bluestone, Cao Cao weighed it in his hand, returned to the gate, smashed the electronic equipment on it a few times, and finally threw the stone into Yuan's courtyard in frustration.
"You have no sense of loyalty. We all know that the man named Huang killed our brothers, and also killed so many people. I have no power, no power, and no way to sue. That's all. You have no injuries." , why are you pretending to be a fool here with me?"
This idiot is in his fifties and has the IQ of a stupid young man. Lao Li cursed in his heart, but the corners of his eyes suddenly became moist. Suddenly many past events came to mind.
"Lao Yuan, I know you are at home. I also know why you deliberately didn't buy one of those little chips even though you had the conditions to do so." Wang Hongjun continued to shout: "You also know that our brother died unjustly. , that chip is stained with his blood, those little things killed him just for that thing!" Then he said: "I know that you have a great family now, with a lovely wife by your side, and two children, so you can't risk it anymore. Don't be afraid, brother. As long as you help me and lift this restricted area for me, I will immediately go to Beijing to complain. Chen Binghui and Lu Shaofen are both in their positions now. I don't believe that I can't sue them. Old bastard!"
"Wang Hongjun, what are you doing? Shut up and come in!" Lao Yuan's intolerable angrily voice came from the entrance guard. The door opened, and Wang Hongjun walked in swaying.
With a thought in his mind, Lao Li used the repulsion gem to take effect. He floated up and quietly approached Yuan's house from above.
I heard that in the living room of the main house, Wang Hongjun and Lao Yuan were arguing.
"Wang Hongjun, after you get the money, go wherever you want." Lao Yuan said impatiently: "If you like drinking, keep drinking. If you like squandering, keep squandering. If you have no money, just come back. No matter what, you can do it, just don't mention lifting the ban. As for the scope, don't worry about the complaint anymore. I have told you countless times what I should tell you. If you have lived enough, just find a crooked tree and hang yourself. Don't let him be implicated. All of us will help you lose your head."
"Fuck off, I don't want your dirty money!" Wang Hongjun shouted angrily: "Is it him? It's obvious that you are rich, and you only earned your money by relying on our brothers. In the past few years, you have been five people on the surface. What kind of host is Liu? He specializes in doing the evil gang's business behind the scenes to sell stolen goods. His brothers were killed. Are you still taking advantage of him? Now I just want to avenge him. Please do this. Son, what’s wrong?”
"Wang Hongjun, you bastard!" Lao Yuan was furious and said: "Think about it with your hip-pot head, who is the boss? How capable is he? Then you take a piss to show how good you are, you I want to avenge my boss, and I also want to fight Lei Yiming. It would be so simple and loyal for us to use eggs to touch stones, but what will happen after death? Who cares about the old lady? There are so many people in the group, and those who are loyal to follow the boss to conquer the world What should we do with our stubborn old brothers?”
"So I just ask you to lift the ban for me. I will go to Lu Shaofen to file a complaint myself. I will do everything for myself!" Wang Hongjun burst into tears and said loudly: "I listened to you a few years ago. You let me I endured it, I endured it, how many years have passed in this blink of an eye? How can we endure it and endure it? The man named Huang is getting more and more powerful, but our brothers are unjustly sinking into the bottom of the sea, and you still say that you want me to endure it? , let me ask you, when will you be the leader of enduring? If you continue to endure, those bastards will go to heaven."
"Shut up!" Lao Yuan's expression changed drastically. He quickly stopped Wang Hongjun from talking. He looked around nervously and lowered his voice: "Is it true that I regret telling you that thing? Lao Wang, you said something else." It doesn't matter, it's just that this matter must not be talked about. It's not yet hot. You dare to talk nonsense without any evidence. When people hear it, they will casually accuse you of spreading rumors to deceive people during the war. We all follow the lead. No one is allowed to live!"
"You can pull me down, it's not that evil." Wang Hongjun waved his hand and said disdainfully: "Brother, I talk a little too much, but I know it well. If this mouth really causes trouble, I will definitely kill myself and will never hurt my brothers. them."
"Bullshit, do you have the chance to commit suicide in front of the specially assigned people?" Lao Yuan continued with a serious look on his face: "Besides, I have stressed to you so many times that you should keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood. , living well is more important than anything else! If you want revenge, you have to wait, wait until those bastards make mistakes, and wait until the time is right to give them a fatal blow!"
"I'm tired of hearing the same thing every day." Wang Hongjun said angrily: "I came here today just to ask for a word of truth from you. Either you help me lift the ban so that I can leave this city, or you give me It’s a certain date, when exactly will your so-called time be considered mature?” (End of Chapter)
