Chapter 21: The Real Flowing Street
The car drove into the inner city of the 27th arrondissement, which is the core area of the entire flow street, and after entering the core area, Hugo and Akita couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of them, because it was far beyond their expectations, because it was not as backward and dilapidated as they had imagined earlier, but showed a dreamlike technological world!
Dozens of sky-high buildings stand tall, as if reaching into the sky.
In the impression of Hugo and the others, such a skyscraper is impossible to appear in Liujie, but looking at the scale of these many high-rise buildings, it is not much better than the iconic building of Tsukishima, the Luna Building.
Akita whispered to Hugo, "Here... Is it really Stream Street?"
Hugo nodded silently, there is no doubt about the fact that this is a flowing street, and the shock of the vision has a great impact on Hugo, and he can't help but start to doubt his own understanding.
The old gull obviously expected what Hugo and the others were thinking, and said to Hugo: "I said that Liujie is definitely not what you know, to be precise, you can't imagine what kind of world this is without coming here in person." At this point, the old gull paused and continued: "But don't let the shock of the moment dismiss everything you have known before. ”
Through a reminder from the old gull, Hugo began to realize the subtlety of this, although the scale of the urban area of Liujie looks magnificent and majestic, but compared with the bustling urban area, it lacks exquisite appearance and humanistic atmosphere, although the high-rise buildings are densely packed, but the same as the previous suburban areas, there is not too much light to shine out, making the whole environment seem depressed and dull.
Looking through the car window at the surrounding streets, a thin layer of frost formed on the road, a group of passers-by stood in front of the tall tin bucket to warm themselves by the flames burning inside, when the car passed by, the gloomy gaze was projected from all around, without the slightest kindness, it can be seen that although there are magnificent urban buildings here, it is still a land of tigers and wolves.
Lao Ou said: "There has always been a view in Tsukishima that Tsukishima, which does not have social ideology, is difficult to form an orthodox economic system without the constraints and control of the political system. ”
This phenomenon exists, and it has been around since the beginning of the Drift Street, but it is not the complete truth. In both the 27th arrondissement and the other two Liujie districts, there are wealthy oligarchs with deep pockets, and these people are the same group that controls the entire Liujie area. ”
"Although Tsukishima has been independent for hundreds of years and has been recognized as a new continental region by the world, the greed of the great powers for Tsukishima has not subsided for so long, but it has been well hidden. And if you want to control the erosion of Tsukishima, the existence of Liujie is the best springboard. ”
Hugo pondered for a moment and said, "The land of projectiles can also turn the whole world. ”
"That's right. The old gull nodded heavily, seeing that he did not look like a smuggler who did all kinds of evil, but more like a wise politician who knew through current affairs.
"So for so many years the street has remained almost closed but it has not died out, but it has become the scene you see now, and these buildings can be said to have been invested and built by people with unlimited ambitions in the world. ”
Hugo frowned and said, "These things are not noticed by the Tsukishima side?"
Lao Ou said: "Is it possible? It is possible to conceal this kind of thing for a day or two, and if it is maintained for hundreds of years, it will make people suspicious, and I am afraid that no matter how wooden his head is, he will also figure out the reason for this." ”
Hugo frowned and said, "So the Tsukishima government came up with that excuse, which is that countless garbage is dumped into the street every year, and the people in the street use it as a source of livelihood. ”
Hearing this, Lao Ou said with a look of disgust on his face: "This statement is really disgusting, but those people who live in the metropolitan area will always believe it, and think that the garbage they have abandoned is feeding the lowly homeless people who are wandering the streets one by one. ”
Hugo pouted, and I have to say that he thought so before coming to Liujie.
At this time, Akita, who had been listening to the side, interjected: "But things are still very strange, since the government is aware of the ambitions of the countries of the world, then how can they let this state of affairs continue to develop like this, such words are a great potential threat to Tsukishima unintentionally, as the so-called couch does not allow others to sleep soundly, although I don't understand politics, but I think that a normal politician will inevitably stifle this threat as soon as possible." ”
Akita's words inadvertently spoke the hearts of everyone present, and it was clear that this question was also bothering them.
"The thinking of politicians we can never understand. The old gull finally said as if he had surrendered.
However, these things are not something that bothers a few people, and soon the car stopped in front of a building, and although it is not a landmark building that looks like it, it can still be seen that it is very good.
The old gull said, "We're going to live here tonight." ”
Akita looked out through the car window, but saw several big men in the shadows on both sides of the doorway not far from him, and couldn't help but pout, "Is this our bodyguard?"
Lao Ou said: "If they don't take the initiative to trouble us, they are lucky, and there is no one to be trusted in Liujie except for self-protection." "Push the door and get out of the car.
When a group of people walked into the building, the corridor inside the building was different from the majestic outside, it looked narrow, only allowing three people to pass side by side, and the walls were full of heavy graffiti and wall writing, most of the pictures and words were in a form of eye-catching, large-scale and straightforward made Akita a little red-faced.
Even if the corridor is not spacious, there are many people standing in it, and everyone looks at Hugo and his party with different expressions, some are provocative, some are curious, and there are ** and seduction.
Several men and women, almost naked, embraced each other, making all sorts of bold movements, looking at everyone with burning eyes, as if whispering something to them.
The old gull turned a blind eye to these scenes, but the sailors beside him showed a joyful eagerness to try, Hugo's expression was quite indifferent, maintaining a cold poker face state, while Akita's face was red as if it was oozing blood, this state could not help but cause those people to laugh, Akita had to hang his head lower.
Through the elevator, Lao Ou led a group of people to the position of the thirty-first floor, when opening the elevator door, two tall people stood up and opened, Lao Ou nodded quietly, one of them took out the PMT, and after touching it on it, it suddenly "ding" sounded, and the other party blocked the entire floor of the elevator today.
