Chapter 34: The Empty City
"Oh, then take us there!" Qin Zhongyu, who was worried about not being able to convince Yingzheng, hurriedly said. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Well, there are still such places, there are many houses that you can live in, but there are no people, then I am interested in going and seeing......" Yes, Ying Zheng finally nodded and agreed.
"Okay, let me show the way...... Chu Zilan said, "But before you do that, you still have to prepare the things you want to take away...... Because although there is a house there, there is no water or electricity, so there will be some trouble in life......
"That's fine...... It's good to have a house to live in, it's better than being in the mountains and old forests......" Qin Zhongyu said again.
So under the guidance of Chu Zilan, Qin Zhongyu drove out of the city, and then drove towards the suburbs. Sure enough, it didn't take long to see a large number of houses.
The houses were almost all large skyscrapers, densely clustered together, standing there like a new city, but there were no people or cars to be seen.
"Chu Zilan, where are you talking about?" Qin Zhongyu asked, "Sure enough, it's quite a house......
"That's right," Chu Zilan said, "these houses are unfinished buildings from the last real estate bubble era, when many of them were built as new urban projects, but no one came to live in them, so they slowly fell into disuse...... Except that there is no water or electricity, it is not much different from a normal commercial house, and if you clean it a little, you can move in directly soon......"
"What do you mean by unfinished building?" At this time, Ying Zheng on the side asked.
So Qin Zhongyu took a moment to explain to Ying Zheng the meaning of the unfinished building.
"I see...... I see...... It seems that I am not the only one who can do the work of the people...... Aren't you modern people the same?" Ying Zheng said with some smugness.
"Well, this is really irrefutable," Qin Zhongyu could only admit to this, "but fortunately, the country controlled it in the end, and the real estate bubble did not cause a greater disaster......
"But there is an advantage to the unfinished building, that is, even if it is blown up, no one will have an opinion...... Therefore, it is most appropriate to use this place as a battlefield with the Mo family......" At this time, Chu Zilan said again.
"Why won't anyone have an opinion if it is blown up?" Qin Zhongyu also asked with some confusion.
"Because you can save the cost of demolition...... Anyway, there is no one to live in, so it is abandoned here, and the next time we build other new facilities, we will have to tear them down again, and we will have to spend an extra amount of money. ā
"That's right......" When Chu Zilan said this, Qin Zhongyu also understood.
Indeed, Qin Zhongyu has seen in the past that unfinished buildings that have been left out for a period of time and are finally forced to be demolished to build new facilities. It seems to say that if the unfinished building is left for too long, it will be easily damaged, resulting in no longer being used, so it has to be demolished again and built a new one.
Just like that, Qin Zhongyu drove into this deserted city.
Qin Zhongyu saw broken walls everywhere, as well as green belts overgrown with weeds. Although there are many houses, most of them have no glass, or if there is glass, it has been broken. There are also many houses that don't even have doors.
In addition, although most of these houses are dozens of high-rise buildings, they are not equipped with elevators because no one lives in them.
"There's not even an elevator, don't think about living on a high-rise, it's better to find a lower floor to live in first......"
Qin Zhongyu thought so, and then drove around the city, and after basically seeing everything, Qin Zhongyu chose a house in the center of this abandoned city and parked the car.
"That's it......" Qin Zhongyu said, "first find something to cover the car, so as not to be too conspicuous...... Let's stay on the second floor of this building......"
"Hmph, it's a little simple, but it's okay...... It's not impossible to live in the window after pasting the window......" Ying Zheng frowned, and reluctantly agreed.
Since Qin Zhongyu and Ying Zheng agreed, of course Chu Zilan had no right to refute, and just like that, the three of them temporarily lived in this abandoned city.
Of course, after staying here, the three of them did not sit idle, but began to actively prepare for it.
After all, this is a city-like building complex, and the interior is intricate, and it is easy for newcomers to get lost when they first come in, and it would be a waste if they didn't make reasonable use of it.
Among them, Ying Zheng went to the roof of the building to meditate almost every night to absorb the power of the sun, moon and stars, which is said to further restore her strength. However, in Qin Zhongyu's opinion, Yingzheng is actually very powerful...... But even if it is so, it is said that it is not her complete state, which makes Qin Zhongyu dare not imagine what the extent of Ying Zheng is when she is in a complete state.
In addition to being in charge of cooking, Qin Zhongyu spent the rest of his time practicing the black dagger he got from Chu Zilan.
In fact, Ying Zheng originally taught Qin Zhongyu swordsmanship, but Qin Zhongyu considered that he still had to go to school, and in the case that he did not have a portable space like Shanhe Shejitu, it was really inconvenient to carry a long sword on his body. So I decided to learn how to use the dagger from Chu Zilan first.
After all, it is much easier to carry a dagger. As long as you don't go through the security check, you are generally not in danger of being detected.
In addition to teaching Qin Zhongyu the skills of the dagger, Chu Zilan is also responsible for the usual vigilance work, and at night, if there is a shortage of supplies, Chu Zilan will also take advantage of the night to drive to the city to buy some food and other daily necessities.
However, time passed day by day, and soon a week passed, and to the surprise of the three of them, the Mo family never appeared again.
"Is it because we are hiding too well, or are the people of the Mo family actually just bluffing and not wanting to come to us at all?" One day, Qin Zhongyu finally couldn't help but ask.
"Impossible ......"
It is very rare that Ying Zheng and Chu Zilan actually denied Qin Zhongyu's opinion at the same time.
"Why? Why can't it be?"
Ying Zheng first explained: "The people of the Mo family have always been true to their word, even death cannot stop them, even I am quite admirable of this...... So since they said they were going to target me this time, they would definitely come!"
Chu Zilan also said with some emotion: "Probably the Mo family also needs a little time to prepare...... After all, if you want to fight Your Majesty, you can't do it without complete preparation......"
"It's really embarrassing to say this from your mouth......" Qin Zhongyu couldn't help but complain.
"That's no way, I'm not as good as others...... It is not at least one-tenth of the ancestors of the year...... I'm ashamed......" Speaking of this, Chu Zilan also sighed with emotion, and then continued, "By the way, master, do you want to continue today's practice? Look at how tired you were yesterday......"
"Of course you have to continue...... Qin Zhongyu said, "I feel that my state is getting better and better, maybe after a while, I can also come in handy......"
