Bionic Era

first day.

It was light rain in Central City at six o'clock in the morning.

Qi Jun crossed his legs and sat under the canopy of the old teahouse.

He likes this rainy weather best.

It was quiet except for the sound of the ticking rain.

There is a cup of weak tea in hand, and the fragrance of tea rises slowly, blending into the countless threads falling from the sky.

"Mr. Qi, health experts say that drinking tea on an empty stomach is not good. Would you like to try my refreshments?" asked the middle-aged man who ran the old teahouse.

"None of the group of health experts lived past sixty." Qi Jun smiled, "Give me some, and try your craft."

The sound of footsteps coming from far and near came from the dense rain curtain.

The long-handled umbrellas are like black lotus flowers floating gently in the rain.

A group of people came under the canopy.

Shake the rain on the umbrella.

Close the umbrella.

They are all acquaintances.

"At the age of more than 30, how did you learn to look like an old man?" Fatty Jiang muttered.

"Haha, the pace of life in Central City is slow, everyone lives like this, and it's a day to day." Qi Jun laughed.

Lu Wen hung the umbrella aside, and said to the boss inside: "Get some morning tea, we haven't had breakfast yet, so it's time to deal with it."

"No problem, just wait a moment, everyone."

The boss went in and was busy.

Everyone found a place to sit down.

It is also good to listen to the sound of rain early in the morning, just to cleanse the soul.

"Have there been any incidents of bionic people killing people in Central City these days?" Lu Wen asked.

"There are bionic killings every day here in Central City, and it's nothing new, we're all used to it," Qi Jun replied.

"Is there anything out of the ordinary?"

"It hasn't been found yet."

It seems that Number Zero is still in the adaptation stage.

Such a huge data center should also be considered a challenge for her.

The successive bionic incidents these days are probably her attempts.

She's trying to control more androids little by little.

"You guys haven't been away for a few days, why are you back again, is there anything else?" Qi Jun asked with a smile.

While speaking, the boss brought black tea to everyone.

The tea dregs have been filtered.

Clear and transparent light red, a few jasmine petals are sprinkled on the tea.

It smells like honey.

Xia Chuluo took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "Notify all the residents under the shadow that they can start evacuating, and it is best to leave within a day."

Qi Jun was taken aback.

What does this mean...

"Are you going to attack the Floating Void City? But you only have so few people... Is it a bomb? Mr. Xia left it?" He immediately thought of the crux of the problem.

To be able to become the leader of the organization, this comprehension is still there.

"right."

"I'll notify people to make arrangements immediately."

"Try to be as stealthy as possible."

"no problem."

Thus began a great evacuation.

In the hazy rain and fog, many residents dragged their families along, bringing all their valuables with them.

After the falling into the sky incident last time, many people had lingering fears and never moved back.

Xia Chuluo took out a large sum of money for the resettlement of those residents.

At first, many people were unwilling to leave, but when they saw the money Xia Chuluo offered, they immediately agreed.

There are many houses in the central city.

When it was prosperous back then, a large area was expanded outwards, but now those areas are empty.

"Miss Xia is really...too rich." Qi Jun had to sigh with emotion.

The money Xia Chuluo gave was enough for the evacuated residents to buy a brand new house.

There are even leftovers.

"At the beginning, Mr. Xia dug up a lot of treasures before the war, and those treasures were left to Miss Xia. To be honest, I don't even know how much money Miss Xia has." Fatty Jiang said.

This was the first time Xia Chuluo showed the power of her money to everyone.

In the past, problems were solved by force and intellect.

"Lu Wen, do you know how much Miss Xia has?" Fatty Jiang asked.

"I don't know." Lu Wen shook his head.

"Your predecessor was a housekeeping-type bionic person. Spending money for your employer is your biggest responsibility. The bionic person's money basically comes from the employer. If you don't have money, you can't make a single step in this society..."

"But I'm rich too."

Fatty Jiang was stunned by Lu Wen's words.

The power of money made this fat man suffer a lot.

Yinlong's legacy.

As a former Bilan engineer, holding countless patents, and the number one best-selling author in Mowu City, the old man's money is so much that he can't spend it in a few lifetimes.

He left 100 million points for Lu Wen.

Ask Daisy to donate the rest.

"Some residents are unwilling to transfer." A young man at the secret door said.

"Then knock them out and take them away forcibly." Qi Jun said calmly: "Don't worry too much, it's the best of humanity to inform them."

As the most powerful organization in the country.

The secret door called on many other organizations to help with the transfer.

When they heard that they were going to attack that lofty city, many people were a little scared, but more excited.

They are doing a great cause unprecedented.

Bring that arrogant myth to the world.

"Mom, why are we leaving?" A little girl was carrying a schoolbag. She turned her head and looked at the large-scale evacuated crowd around her, her eyes full of doubts.

"I heard that the city above us is unstable and will fall down at any time, and there is still money to get when we leave... We can't earn that money by picking up scrap iron by the river for a lifetime..."

On the dilapidated central city road.

The dilapidated vans were loaded with residents and home appliances, and drove to safer places.

"Tell me after the evacuation is complete. I'll take them to rest for a while. It's quite tiring to run back and forth." Xia Chuluo said.

"No problem, I'll be there as soon as possible."

...

Thin raindrops beat on the newly renovated glass windows of the hotel.

There are no people staying in the store these days.

Those who came to Canterlot to grab invitations left.

The shop owner was thinking about his remaining money, and was planning where to spend the rest of his life after selling the shop.

"Fortunately, the group of killers are gone. It's rare to live a stable life these days."

The quiet hotel is also very good, no need to rush around.

The boss has even contacted the buyer and sold everything in the hotel as a package.

"Hopefully I never run into those guys again for the rest of my life."

"Squeak..."

The door of the old hotel was pushed open.

The boss has heard the familiar sound of doors opening and closing countless times.

He was still a little surprised, who would come to the hotel this early in the morning?

So he looked up.

The next moment, the whole person was dumbfounded.

"Xia...Miss Xia..."

"Um."

Xia Chuluo threw out a stack of banknotes.

"It's still on the third floor. It's the same. Remember to make breakfast early every day. Don't make it too light. Is there a problem?"

"No...of course it's fine."

The store owner was about to cry.

He now wants to slap himself twice to see if he is having a nightmare.

But the clarity of reality made him unable to accept this bleak life.

Everyone in the team at the door was carrying big and small bags upstairs.

The quiet hotel suddenly became lively again.

Lu Wen was still sitting on the window side of the hotel, and the rain was slowly flowing along the glass windows.

After the invitation frenzy, Canterlot seemed a lot calmer.

He is waiting for someone.

Not long.

Here comes the man.

Luo Xunfeng, the former great deacon of the Floating Void City.

He changed into ordinary people's clothes, and he still looked very energetic, but his fair skin seemed to be a little tanned.

It's only been a few days, and the sun in July is indeed vicious.

Luo Xunfeng sat opposite Lu Wen.

"Are you going to blow up the floating city?"

"To be precise, it is to continue to finish what the older generation has not done." Lu Wen replied.

"There is no need to use such drastic means. That city has been floating for decades. Although the people above are arrogant, but...but..."

Luo Xunfeng was watched by Lu Wen's calm eyes.

At this time, he was a little speechless.

The sickness of that city is simply too serious.

So is Central City.

He knew well that both cities were sick, so he fell from the sky to find the root of this sickness.

"It's not just arrogance." Lu Wen said slowly, "The people above have been suppressing the development of technology below. They are afraid of the appearance of a second floating city and their own myths will be broken. This mentality will become more and more serious."

"So the best thing to do is to bring it to the surface?"

"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 naturally no.

But he didn't want to admit it himself, that was where he grew up.

"You are already fully confident of taking down the Floating Void City?"

"That 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 are their lives."
