It's raining. The sky was dark and oppressive, as if it was about to collapse. It was a cold rain that brought biting temperatures to the land.

Snow.

The entire Phoenix City is wrapped in a layer of silver, and it looks like it can't be seen at a glance.

It has been a year since the turmoil in Ho Chi Minh City, and in the past year, there have been many major events that have caused a sensation around the world.

The original international turmoil has slowly subsided. Quite a few small countries have also returned to their original status.

No one knows how many countries are controlled by "zero", and no one knows what happened to the United States, as the only superpower.

But the economy is still booming, as if everyone has forgotten about the disaster that happened before.

As for "zero", it is still a high level of secrecy of various countries at the moment, and ordinary people really don't know what a simple word represents.

But they don't have to care, because society is peaceful and life is stable.

For many of them, that's enough.

The development of Phoenix City in this year is the most dazzling. The Luo family also slowly hid from everyone's eyes to the background. But those who have been in contact with this level know that Phoenix City, which has now become an international first-tier city, is controlled by a Luo family.

And the Luo family, who controls the behemoth of Phoenix City, is actually thin, and more women from the Luo family go out to manage various departments.

At this moment, in the back garden of the Luo family, this side has been transformed a lot by Luo Chen. The garden covers a very large area, and there is a huge artificial lake in the middle, and by the lake, Luo Chen is sitting on a deck chair at the moment, basking in the sun, humming unknown songs, looking so happy.

"You're going to enjoy it!" At this moment, a tall woman in a cheongsam walked over from outside.

Luo Chen opened his eyes and smiled: "Because of your group of virtuous helpers, what do I need to do." ”

It was Qin Keqing who came over.

A year ago, Luo Chen led people to pick up Qin Keqing and the survivors of the Luo family, and since then, they have been staying in Phoenix City and developing wholeheartedly.

Of course, with Qin Keqing and her right-hand men, Luo Chen simply became the shopkeeper.

Qin Keqing walked to Luo Chen's side with lotus steps, and bent down gently: "The winter sun is fiercer than a tiger, and basking in the sun like this is not good for your health." ”

"It's okay, I'm thick-skinned. Luo Chen was very comfortable and wanted to pull Qin Keqing to his side, but she stepped back first.

"Come on, I'll tell you about business!" Qin Keqing glanced at him, now the only man who can come in the back garden is Luo Chen. As long as this guy gets caught by him, he will immediately be devastated in a lot of money.

Qin Keqing was deeply affected, and was caught by Luo Chen outside many times, and then ......

Dry firewood, and then what else?

"What's the matter?" Luo Chen put away the joke.

"It's Ye Fan who has the news. ”

"What's the news?"

Hearing that it was Ye Fan, Luo Chen immediately sat up and put away the cynical look just now.

"This was passed on by him through a secret network, and it looks like the situation is already serious. Qin Keqing said as he handed over a piece of paper.

Luo Chen took it and looked at it, but squinted: "That broken city in Southeast Asia is about to open up?"

"Well, and faster than you think. Qin Keqing's face was not very good-looking.

"Haicheng? That's a really vulgar name. Luo Chen squinted, a slight chill on his face.

This sea city is not simple at all.

If you want to talk about this sea city, let's talk about Phoenix City first. Because Phoenix City can be a modern metropolis built in the desert. Haicheng, on the other hand, is a huge sea island city that has been artificially landfilled.

The location is right in the Pacific Ocean near the East China Sea. At first, it was just a small island, but later several countries in Southeast Asia joined forces with the United States to directly develop this small island, and after a long period of landfilling, the city is now quite large.

"If I am not mistaken, it is very likely that these countries have been infiltrated by 'Zero'. Their purpose this time is likely to be to use this as a springboard to directly threaten Dao Huaxia at that time. ”

"I didn't expect them to be silent for a year, and now they are actually out of the water?" Luo Chen couldn't help it at the moment, the information of this sea city was very detailed. Even if Luo Chen had known about this plan for a long time, he used to think that it was just wishful thinking, and it was absolutely nonsense to want to build a sea city.

But it seems that he was wrong, and he was very wrong.

At least, they succeeded.

The area of this landfilled sea city is not small at all, it is larger than Huahai City, and the surrounding area can be expanded at any time, which is different from Phoenix City. If Phoenix wants to expand, it will have to conquer the desert lands in the interior. But if Haicheng wants to expand, then it can be done in all directions.

If such a city develops, the future is absolutely limitless. It will even threaten other first-tier cities in the world.

In China, there are only three places that belong to the international first-tier cities. One is the imperial capital, the other is Guangfu, and the other is Phoenix City.

But now, even Luo Chen, who doesn't understand this aspect at all, seems to be able to see from the information that this will be a super city, and if the resources are enough in the future, it is not impossible to become a world-class metropolis.

No, it should be said that it is definitely possible.

I really don't know how much it cost those countries to build this maritime city. However, it is rumored that the sea level of the small island nation is rising, and the islands are beginning to sink to the bottom of the sea, which makes them feel oppressed, which is why they are willing to spend so many resources to support the establishment of this maritime city.

It can be said that the whole of Southeast Asia, except for China, almost every country has invested a lot. So much so that later Huaxia was forced by the situation and had to contribute, but because it was already in the late stage, Huaxia did not share much of the benefits. Among the many equity countries, Huaxia occupies the smallest proportion, which is of course one of the reasons for the deliberate suppression by the United States.

"U.S. President Trump has one year left in his term, and if he wants to be re-elected after this last year, he must show enough political achievements. I'm afraid this time it's also a desperate gamble. But I think they ...... Will it be under control?"

Luo Chen looked at Qin Keqing and said what he was worried about.

"I don't know, but I don't rule it out. And the possibilities are very high. Qin Keqing nodded solemnly, "Now that Haicheng is ready to open, we have to send someone over no matter what." But now the only person who can walk away is you. ”
