Demon Change the Earth

Jiangcheng at night is beautiful.

Looking down from the sky, the gas lamps hang over all the bustling streets and arterials, and the lights look like a chessboard.

There are very few traces of the old era. Even if there are still some broken eaves and walls, they are covered with a coat of the new era.

For example, the overpass at the intersection of Shengli Road and Zhongshan Road in the city center.

Reinforced concrete piers are of good quality, even though the internal reinforcement has decayed.

Dense plants grew out of the dense cracks, and the whole bridge was covered with a layer of emerald green. From a distance, it looked like a strangely shaped rockery.

The bridge deck is also very strong, having undergone the strictest testing, and has been covered with various wooden and stone buildings.

Here is the most famous pedestrian street plus flea market.

The gas street lamps make the "ecosystem" on the bridge very eye-catching, the green, fat, red and thin are dimly lit, and the flying eaves Qionglou are under the dim light.

Pedestrians at night mostly carry an oil lamp, carts and bullock carts creaking and walking slowly, the shops on both sides are full of people, peddlers and urban management of the new era are fighting guerrilla warfare, and after a while Flowing to the bridge, fled under the bridge for a while, no one paid attention to the whistle and scolding of the city management, and there were many ignorant children running around and fighting, making the already congested traffic even more chaotic.

Standing on the highest point of the overpass, it is located in the center of Jiangcheng, overlooking the whole city, covered in the light and quiet shadows.

The sky is like a pitch-black canvas, transparent and clear, with a half-moon hanging like a millstone, and stars twinkling.

To say that the greatest legacy left to Jiangcheng from the old era is not the spiritual vein left by the resort and landscape, nor the seven major sedimentation ponds and the current spiritual stone production, but the steel city wall that guards the entire city behind it.

The area of ​​Jiangcheng is very large, and the city wall has an astonishing scale, which is unimaginable today.

It is because of the Great Wall of Steel that protects the entire city behind it that the basic security of nearly ten million residents is ensured. Most of the other central cities were built too late, and the resources, manpower and material resources are no longer able to support such a majestic scale. , can only reduce the area, and the development potential will naturally be greatly reduced.

Up to now, Jiangcheng can not only constantly absorb fresh blood, but also guarantee the most basic food and material output in the city. This is especially valuable in the new era. The potential of a giant city lies in the territory left over from the old era. inherited.

It was this kind of potential that allowed Jiangcheng to survive in the extremely dangerous and bloody city war period that followed.

At the stage of the city-state alliance, Jiangcheng's potential and scale made it the first to recover, thus occupying a powerful position and upper reaches of resources. Through a series of conspiracy, conspiracy, division, attack and wooing, the current "Jiangzhou City Alliance" was established.

The Jiangzhou City Alliance is a behemoth composed of five central cities, dozens of secondary and tertiary subsidiary cities, countless towns, fortresses, and forward bases.

Jiangcheng is the capital of the alliance, and another first-tier city slightly inferior to it is Shuzhou, which is located in the former Hubei province.

The original division of provinces and cities has long been out of use, and now the city-states are used as the geographical division. Among the city-states, there are hostile ones, some alliances, and some neutral ones.

Known for his iron fist and force, he believes in the naked law of the jungle.

Some people prosper through commerce and circulation, believe in the supremacy of resources, advocate harmony to generate wealth, and are exquisite in all directions.

There are also those that focus on production and defense, and believe that no one will attack me, I will not attack anyone, and if someone wants to attack me, I will hide in a tortoise shell to defend and counterattack. These kind of city-states are usually small closed kingdoms, and they are very wary of the outside world. .

Every city cannot escape the division of these three categories. These tendencies of the cities determine their respective positioning, and the same positioning can form an alliance.

Of course, this is not absolute. The so-called different ways do not conspire with each other, it also depends on the location, environment and strength. If you are surrounded by some war madmen and want to farm with peace of mind,

It also depends on whether people agree or not.

Most of the city alliances are hostile, and they have experienced many battles, large and small. No one can do anything to others, and the current territory has been formed.

Business is generally only carried out within the Federation, and there is very little cross-alliance circulation, except for the extremely special places like the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

The traffic within the alliance is the lifeblood, and repairing leaks and monsters along the way must be done every once in a while.

Every city in the alliance is very important. A city is a stable development base that can radiate a large safe area for exploration and production.

Cities, the roads connecting them, and the safe areas radiated from the cities are the boundaries of the civilized world. Outside the boundaries, they have degenerated into wilderness, infiltrated by leaks, curses, and monsters.

In the material world, the main battlefield of time-space shock and space-time stability is in these primitive, wild, and unknown areas, where monsters and spiritual creatures occur.

Today, no one knows what happened, what is going to happen, what is happening in those less traveled places, which leads to the greatest mystery and danger.

If there is an electronic map of the world's territory, and all the city-states are highlighted and marked, you will find that on the dark map, civilization is a root structure, each city is the node of the root system, and the transportation between the federations is the root system itself. Although the bright root system is well-developed and luxuriant, most of the area is shrouded in pitch-black unknowns and mysteries. The farther away from the root system, the heavier the dark color, representing the deeper unknown and danger.

This is land, and there is a vast ocean.

Most of the sea area is pitch black, and there is no stable intercontinental waterway at all. The pity is that those island countries, the larger ones are still lingering, and the smaller ones have been covered by darkness.

The ocean is equal to the road!

The night market on the Jiangcheng overpass has come to an end.

At around two o'clock in the morning, the vendors at the flea market have already started to clean up their stalls.

The shops on both sides have also closed, and there are fewer tourists and tourists wandering around.

The sanitation department was dispatched to clean up the mess of the day. A young cleaner pushed the carriage cursingly into a narrow alley. Looking at the mess and oil stains all over the floor, I really wanted to cry without tears!

"Damn, wake up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, eat worse than pigs... I'm talking about it."

"Fuck, I'm resigning tomorrow, even if I join the pioneering team, I won't do this shit to make a living."

The young man was wearing a mask and dirty overalls. While tidying up angrily, he made up his mind that he would not be wasting his life like this anymore.

To join the Pioneering Team, you either live smartly or die neatly.

The young man was fantasizing about being possessed by the Ouhuang of the pioneering team and feasting all over the world. From then on, he counterattacked in life and turned into a high-sequence person. Bai Fumei married a dozen and then a dozen...

Suddenly, the colors around him became brighter, and everything around them became somewhat distorted, and then a voice said from behind: "Excuse me, this is Jiangcheng, right?"
