The traces of rainwater hitting his face gave Zhao Cheng a chill, and he couldn't help shivering.

The weather in this season is actually not cold, but his body is getting worse, especially in the past few years, which can be seen with the naked eye.

The year-round wandering has hollowed out his body, and he casts a vague shadow through the glass of the street shop. Because he seldom takes care of it, his beard and hair are very long. In his thirties, his beard and hair have already turned gray. If he looks like this, if he is said to be in his fifties, someone must believe him.

In a trance, Zhao Cheng remembered the dream just now, everything seemed like yesterday, and it seemed like a lifetime away.

Afterwards, Zhao Cheng glanced at the sky, and he could see that there was a vague halo above, that was the City of Clouds, the real City of Clouds. As for the lower city where he was standing, it was actually not recognized.

The war changed many things.

More than ten years ago, the two most powerful countries launched a war. In the end, both sides suffered losses. Neither of them became the winner. Instead, the rise of the company and the formation of an alliance created the deformed world today.

Each company controls each city. For the company, people are only divided into useful and useless. Those who are useful sign a contract like a slave contract. Not only sell themselves, but also sell their descendants. For generations to come, they are all company people.

And useless, how can there be truly useless things in the world? Even a piece of waste paper has its value. Therefore, those seemingly useless people were exiled to the downtown. Survival environment, and a little bit of hope of becoming a company employee. In this case, the people from downtown can not only be used as a comparison and encouragement to make the company employees work harder, but also provide a steady stream of new blood for the company.

For a long time, although Zhao Cheng grew up in this post-war world, he was actually more like a ghost.

This world also gave him a strange feeling. The two major countries that each control half of the world are defeated as soon as they say they lose, and the company stole the fruits of victory in the end. Everything is just like a script by coincidence.

At the same time, after the war, the technology tree also began to be distorted. Gene technology and prosthetic body technology went hand in hand. Some people still believed in the flesh, but some chose the stronger steel. The momentum is huge, and many companies have jointly launched the prosthetic body loan, which has attracted many people.

But the final ending was not good. The prosthetic bodies of the first generation were not stable, and many people had mental problems. Those reformers sacrificed themselves and took on debts, while the company reaped wealth, and Valuable experimental data, win-win, the company directly won twice.

Zhao Cheng was wandering in the city, the dark night and scattered lights made him forget himself.

It's not that he hasn't given birth to the idea of ​​settling somewhere, but whenever he settles down, loneliness and pain are like poisonous snakes, biting his heart.

Only when wandering in the silent world, can there be such a peace in his heart.

Zhao Cheng was looking through the treasure chest. Of course, this is a saying in the industry. To put it simply, it is a trash can.

It is also the lower city, but there is also a gap between the rich and the poor between the lower city and the lower city. More than ten years earlier, food could be obtained through treasure chests. At that time, it was also the era with the most homeless people. Every treasure chest had compete.

But in the future, when resources are getting tighter and tighter, there is no such good thing.

If you want to wander, you have to have a little technology.

For example, Zhao Cheng has mastered rough chip repair technology. Limited by tools and his own technical level, the success rate of his repair is not high, but thanks to his raw materials, they are all obtained by opening treasure chests. , but will not starve to death.

In fact, with his technical level, if he is willing to work for others, he can still have basic decency in a place like the downtown.

After the war, the local education system in the lower city completely collapsed. In the new generation, more than 70% of the people have an educational level that can read and write normally.

Zhao Cheng, as a college student who has studied for one year, is undoubtedly considered to have received higher education in this era.

As for his maintenance skills, he learned from another homeless man when he was about to starve to death. The former identity of that homeless man was a professor of a well-known university. His wife died of illness. As for his children, he has no children and belongs to the DINK family.

After his wife died, the professor became a little crazy. To be precise, he could not find the anchor point of life, nor could he find the meaning of living, so he started wandering.

When they met Zhao Cheng later, to be precise, they met each other a long time ago, and they both knew a little about each other. Later, when Zhao Cheng was about to starve to death, they met each other again and were picked up by the professor.

However, the two wandered together for almost a year, and the professor died of illness because of his old age.

Zhao Cheng inherited a set of simple repair tools made up by the professor, and did not follow the professor's advice to start a new life. He is used to the current life, or in other words, wandering is his anchor.

As for now, with the passage of time, technology is constantly being updated. Fortunately, in places like the lower city, the technology is updated very slowly, and some civilian products in the upper city, Zhao Cheng can't understand the contents at all.

Sometimes, Zhao Cheng also thinks that maybe he will be completely eliminated by the world in a short time. However, this may not be a bad thing, because he actually doesn't have the desire to live forever.

Compared with being eliminated, Zhao Cheng felt that it was more likely that he would not survive that time.

At present, he has already clearly felt that the flame of his life is dying.

In the past, he dreamed about the past and Zhao Xiaoxiang, but not so often.

It is said that when people are about to die, they will dream about the past more and more frequently. Zhao Cheng thought that his own death star had probably already shone in the sky.

...

"Congratulations, you have qualified for the dream competition. If you win, you can realize the dream you desire the most, even if it is empty."

"Of course, you can give up, but fate will never favor the same person twice."

Zhao Cheng looked at the almost perfect girl in front of him, with fair skin, exquisite facial features, wearing a Chinese dress, and black hair like a waterfall. The only flaw is that there is no emotion in her eyes, like a dolls.

"Can you bring the dead back to life?"

Zhao Cheng asked.

"This is easy."
