Chapter 467: Outer urban area

Views:

Cars are driving on the huge intercity viaduct.

"Hmmmm~" Nora hummed along with the classical music in the car, watching Mia and Mier running around in the car with a smile.

"Sister Nora, why is your car so big!" Mia shouted in surprise.

"Because there are many of us." Nora touched her head, "So we need a bigger car."

"But this car is too big." Mi'er said, "It even has a bedroom and a dining room."

"Mi'er, look!" Mia opened the door of the refrigerator and found it was filled with various foods and drinks.

"This is not good..." Before Mier could stop her, Mia had already taken out a can and pried it open with nimble hands and feet.

"It's caviar!" she shouted happily, "Sister Nora, can I eat it?"

"Sure." Nora smiled.

You asked after you opened it... Mi'er was speechless with this friend, and turned to Nora and asked, "How much does this can cost?"

"I don't remember that." Nora thought for a moment and asked the driver, "Martin, what's the price of the canned golden sturgeon roe in the refrigerator?"

"Miss, I remember it was about 30 silver marks," said the driver.

Girls: …

So expensive! It's actually priced in silver marks!

"Is it so cheap?" Nora said awkwardly, "It must be a bad brand, why don't we change it..."

"No, no, no!" Mi'er quickly stopped him and said, "Mia likes it very much, right Mia?"

"Hmm?" Mia said vaguely after scooping a spoonful into her mouth.

"What is that?" Eleanor, who was sitting on the side, looked out the window and suddenly asked.

Everyone looked outside in the direction she was looking, and saw an armed helicopter hovering in the air outside the edge of a deserted building in the distance. The aircraft machine guns were roaring and turning like thunder, and the huge gunshots could even be heard from the overpass.

Accompanied by the torrential rain of bullets, the edge of the abandoned building was shattered and fell like a collapsed building block.

“They’re clearing out the gangs in the abandoned building,” the driver replied.

"Abandoned building? Gang?" Eleanor asked with a frown.

"Ellie, you should know about the Empire Crisis in the early Fourth Epoch, right?" Seeing that her best friend was a little confused, Nora, as the host, explained, "At that time, a huge economic crisis broke out in the Empire, especially in Solomon City where the real estate bubble was the most serious. Countless families lost all their wealth overnight."

"In the outer city, there are a large number of buildings under development that have been left unfinished due to a sudden break in the funding chain. These buildings are mainly concentrated in the northern part of Solomon City, leaving behind a large number of abandoned buildings that are half-built, have not yet been topped off, or have been topped off but not renovated."

"After that, there was the foreign invasion." Although the Solomon people are used to calling it "barbarian invasion", considering the feelings of Eleanor and Sidlifa, Nora used the neutral term "foreigner" instead. "Political turmoil, economic stagnation, and the magic tide happened to hit, so a large number of foreign ethnic troops invaded Italia."

"After the Solomon Church was established and gradually took control of the order in the city, they drove the remaining population of these foreign ethnic groups to the abandoned buildings in the outer city area and did not provide them with any water, electricity, supplies or public services. As a result, the order there was very chaotic and gangs were rampant everywhere."
