Chapter 762: Caged Man
The lights of the Xiangjiang River are still bright, and in the deep darkness of the night, this bustling brightness makes people feel unreal.
Li Shaoyang's first feeling was strange, the shape of the world can be said to be gray, after losing the satellite and losing hope, why is Xiangjiang still so prosperous.
When he came ashore from Victoria Harbour and arrived at the famous Tsim Sha Tsui, he realized that these bright lights were not neon lights or car lights, but searchlights mounted on high-rise buildings.
Heung Kong has the highest concentration of skyscrapers in the world, with thousands of high-rise buildings scattered across this narrow island. Nowadays, all of them are hung with special searchlights, illuminating the entire Xiangjiang Peninsula. Corresponding to this is the expected curfew.
Cities that have been curfewed in history have helpless backgrounds, London under the bombing of World War II, New York during the Great Depression, that is a helpless choice, it is difficult to imagine what this vibrant Xiangjiang curfew will look like.
Li Shaoyang seemed to have come to a dying world, a city after the end of the world, he walked carefully against the edge of the street, and for a moment almost thought that he had come to the world in the movie "I Am Legend".
The empty road is spotless, except for a few garbage bins where a few wild cats pop out.
There are wild cats, which fully explains the dilapidated situation of Xiangjiang, when the traces of human activities are compressed into the house and cannot go out, night cats, wild dogs and other animals will come out arrogantly.
Li Shaoyang even saw a crawling lizard, which was supposed to have escaped from the wetland park in the south of the Xiangjiang River.
Some vehicles can also be seen on the street, but they are covered with a layer of dust, and there is a huge sign erected in front of the most famous shopping building in Tsim Sha Tsui, which reads the traditional Chinese price reduction notice, and the prices of many goods have been reduced to one or even half a discount, but look at the time below, it is already half a month ago.
Next to this sign, a notice in Chinese and English is more conspicuous with the official seal of the government, which is very simple, in addition to stipulating the time and precautions of the curfew, there is also a provision for the rationing of important materials such as food, water, medicine and so on.
However, what Li Shaoyang paid the most attention to was that there was a handwritten handwriting at the bottom of this notice. It reads: The central government will open its door, will help us, and everything is developing in a good way, and the great Xiangjiang must hold on!
Under this passage is a series of signatures. But in the signature, there are also eye-catching words of resistance: "Can't give in, Xiangjiang has backbone, the central government get out!" ”
Li Shaoyang sighed, he heard the sound of the patrol car.
The speed of the electric patrol car is not fast, but it can explain some things, Li Shaoyang knows that the entire Xiangjiang resource supply is imported, and gasoline needs external input, and now they can't even afford gasoline, so they can only use electric cars with extremely slow speed.
Li Shaoyang avoided the patrol cars and quickly slipped into an abandoned convenience store. It's too dazzling to go out now, and he can only deal with it all night in this convenience store.
The next day, it wasn't until the sun rose overhead, and it was almost noon, that people were seen in the streets.
Although it seems so quiet at night, there are more and more people during the day. Of course, compared with the Xiangjiang streets in their heyday, these people are indeed much sparse at present. And the people who came out were all middle-aged men, and not a single woman could be seen, let alone the old and young women and children.
Li Shaoyang came out of the convenience store, rubbed the shirt on his body, and walked forward with a decadent look on the crowd.
A man next to him seemed to pity him and handed him a cigarette: "Boy, smoke, this thing can't be bought on the black market now, fuck, Lao Tzu mixed up with ** brother ten years ago, and when he was finally planted in Kowloon Prison, he was not so miserable!" ”
Li Shaoyang glanced at him gratefully, and the tattoo on the man's body seemed to indicate his identity. He didn't speak, and now he doesn't even know what these people do.
Following the crowd, Li Shaoyang quickly understood what to do, it turned out that he was here to receive limited supplies. At the entrance of HSBC on East Tsim Sha Tsui Road, there are already police officers who have filled up the supplies for today.
The man next to Li Shaoyang shouted in surprise: "And chocolate, it's great, my horse can eat something good today." ”
It seems that the Xiangjiang ID card must be used to receive the materials, but Li Shaoyang soon found that the police did not check everyone's ID cards, but issued them directly.
Li Shaoyang followed behind the tattooed man and received a bag of Thai rice, two bags of meat floss bread, a box of chocolates, and bags of ham and other things.
To Li Shaoyang's surprise, these were only one day's supply. By all accounts, these supplies are "luxury". I can't imagine that this is a "limited supply" at this time. And the police even asked in the end: "Do you smoke?" ”
Li Shaoyang nodded, and handed over a pack of Marlboro: "You can only receive it three times a week, and you can't exceed three packs a week, so brother save it." ”
Li Shaoyang took cigarettes and things, and sighed for a while, today he has seen what is the "limited supply" of the "Xiangjiang version".
Li Shaoyang turned his head to see that the tattooed man was counting the supplies, so he walked over and handed him the chocolates and other items in his hand and the pack of cigarettes.
The tattooed man looked at him in shock, and Li Shaoyang smiled slightly: "I'm single, and I don't need these things." ”
The tattooed man rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed, and Li Shaoyang forced it to him: "You have a large family, you can use it." ”
The man was no longer polite, and shook hands with him: "I'm Xu Feihong, thank you, brother, if you go to Gangchai Bay and report my name to Brother Da Fei, someone will cover you." ”
Li Shaoyang smiled: "Actually, I just came back today, and I don't understand anything." ”
As soon as he heard his accent, he was from Xiangjiang, so Da Fei didn't doubt it, but sighed: "Everyone is going out, but you have to come back, now Xiangjiang is a cage, and the big guys are all cage people, alas, this is the case." ”
Unexpectedly, Brother Da Fei spoke quite philosophically, Li Shaoyang lit a cigarette for him: "What the hell is going on, I'm still like I'm dreaming." ”
Brother Da Fei let out a puff of smoke, pulled him to the intersection, and stretched out his hand to point to the north: "Brother, look there." ”
The north side can see far away, because this location happens to stagger those high-rise buildings, Li Shaoyang immediately saw it, he was shocked to see it, and saw the huge thing, as if it was a soap bubble.
The height of the thing seemed to have pierced above the clouds, and the soap-bubble-like structure enveloped a part of the northern part of the river.
If you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't describe this spectacular scene, in front of the huge soap bubble, the so-called high-rise buildings are as small as matchboxes.
"Brother, I saw it, that is the protective shield of Huaguo, the protective shield is said to be able to resist a qiē attack, even the attack of the Protoss is not afraid." Brother Da Fei said in a deep voice.
Li Shaoyang once imagined what Huaguo's protective shield would look like, but he couldn't imagine that it would be so spectacular.
Although deep down, Li Shaoyang disagrees with the policy of closing the country to the outside world, but now he has to admit that if there is anyone in the world who can protect the 1.3 billion citizens and maintain domestic stability, only China can do it.
By any measure, the shield is a great, unprecedented feat.
But...... Li Shaoyang asked Brother Da Fei: "Why is it only shrouded over there, why is it not protected on our side?" ”
Da Fei pointed to the place protected by the protective shield: "There is the Xiangjiang Golf Club, and it is also the temporary residence of the troops stationed in Xiangjiang, and it is because of the troops stationed in Xiangjiang that the protective shield has been extended there." As for why they didn't protect us, it was because some people didn't agree. ”
Li Shaoyang was shocked: "Sleep will not agree? ”
Brother Da Fei shook his head: "It's just some people, brother, let me tell you, except for immigrants and escapees, two-thirds of the remaining Xiangjiang people are unwilling to enter that protective shield, because they yearn for freedom and feel that they are backbone." ”
Li Shaoyang understood, he looked at Brother Da Fei and asked, "What about you?" ”
Brother Da Fei took a sip of his cigarette butt: "I don't know, brother, I really don't know, maybe I'm also a caged person." ”
……
Li Shaoyang walked on the cold road, and after receiving the supplies, the surroundings were quiet again, and he only sighed in his heart.
Brother Da Fei said that the people of Xiangjiang are now caged people, which is really reasonable. Because the bird in the cage looks down and sees only so much space, and looks up and yearns for the world outside the cage, but after you open the cage, it doesn't dare to go out. This is the sorrow of the caged bird.
Li Shaoyang is almost certain that those who are unwilling to enter the protective shield are more worried about entering an unfree world, but there must be some people who see some kind of freedom that should not be there, and those who have been delusional about Xiangjiang ** are not nothing, or maybe they regard this protective shield incident as a great opportunity.
Li Shaoyang walked to a hidden position, and then released a little spiritual power, and quickly approached the protective shield in the distance, he began to test the energy composition of this protective shield, in the feeling of spiritual power, this protective shield was like breathing, constantly undulating.
However, Li Shaoyang sensed that the energy of the protective shield had been overflowing, not shrinking, which illustrated a very simple truth. That is, Huaguo's protective shield can be quickly deployed in a very short period of time to directly protect the Xiangjiang River. It's just that some people don't want to do it now.
Li Shaoyang understands that Xiangjiang is a disobedient child to Huaguo. No matter how disobedient the child is, of course, the mother will not give up, but if the child is too naughty, it will definitely be punished a little. It's just that I don't know how long Huaguo's mother's punishment of Xiangjiang will last
