"Next stop, Dawning City Railway Station!"

With the prompt sound on the radio, the destination has finally arrived, Zhu Jue turned off his mobile phone, got up and prepared to wait at the door.

As soon as I looked up, I saw a "western cowboy" wearing a wild brown jacket and two guns hanging from his waist, leaning on the vertical pole in the subway, the brim of the cowboy hat was pressed very low, and only the Bluetooth headset that was half of the right ear leaking outside.

This cowboy is quite trendy.

The other party also seemed to notice Zhu Jue's gaze, the cowboy hat looked up at an angle, looked back vaguely, glanced at Zhu Jue, and quickly took it back.

There are also a few people dressed in western costumes next to him, and there is even a "cowgirl" among them, these people are obviously a team, and the uniform costume is naturally not for cosplay, but a rather straightforward way to show identity.

Zhu Jue looked away, and soon found that there were no ordinary citizens left on the train at this time, most of them were guys with the same temperament as the cowboys in front of him, and they knew that they were combatants at a glance, and in the other carriage on the left, a squad of armed soldiers and a few people wearing the badges of the Monster Countermeasures Bureau could be seen.

Judging by their behavior as they began to organize their attire, these people should all get off at the Dawning City train station.

Sure enough, when the subway door opened, these people set off one after another.

Zhu Jue was an outlier in this group of people, because he had neither a backpack nor a suitcase on his body, but he was holding the Three Days Moon Tai Knife wrapped in a cloth bag in his hand, and the plasma gun was stuck in his waist and blocked by his clothes.

Stepping out of the car door, his eyes subconsciously began to search for the stairs around him, but in the end, he froze the woman who came out of the carriage on the right.

She wore a long black trench coat lined with a thin white shirt, slender legs, and a pair of leather boots with no external decorations at her feet, and the armed soldiers and personnel of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau who had been seen in the carriage surrounded her and several personnel who were somewhat similar to her attire.

Even so, she is still the most prominent one, not only because of her appearance, but also because of her cold temperament that has not changed much after five years.

"I didn't expect to meet ...... here"

Five years of ice may be a long time for people living normally, but for Zhu Jue, it is just a moment, and the memories of the past have not faded with this passing time, so he can still easily recognize the person from five years ago, even if the latter's appearance has changed slightly compared to five years ago, or it is becoming more mature.

Zhu Jue didn't choose to go up to say hello, there were a large number of government officials gathered around him, and in order to be able to get on the fortress train, he was now appearing as Ivanka, so he couldn't change his face in front of so many people around him.

What's more, he is now a dead person, and even his citizenship card has been revoked, which can be regarded as getting rid of the attention of the federal government and some special forces from a certain point of view.

Now that the grotesque studio is gone, there is no need for me to take the initiative to enter their field of vision......

"I'll talk about it later when I have a better chance. ”

Thinking so in his heart, Zhu Jue decisively chose a different staircase with the other party to go up and directly arrived at the bottom floor of the station.

The former high-speed train station of the city five years ago has retained a considerable part of the facilities and equipment in the original state, but both the passenger flow and the resident businesses in the station have fallen off a cliff.

The reason is very simple, with the emergence of large areas of danger between cities, travel is to some extent already a thing that only those whose living standards are in the upper middle of society can enjoy.

In places like Dawn, most of the time only people spend money to board the fortress train from various cities to seek refuge, and few people from the city go out.

However, just when Zhu Jue took it for granted that the train station was estimated to be depressed and the people on the train were only two or three kittens, when he took the escalator into the waiting hall, the scene in front of him was still shocked.

There are groups of three or five who gather together to discuss something in front of an electronic map.

There are self-conscious squatting nearby to check the status of small auxiliary robots, and from time to time there are mechanics with electric sparks coming out.

More of them get together and talk about it, and when it comes to the rise, they are still very immoral to stand on those long-abandoned garbage bins, and they are reckless men who blow violently when they shake off their cheeks.

As for the station supermarkets and catering shops that Zhu Jue thought should be closed, they have indeed disappeared, but special shops such as weapon shops and prosthetic parts stores have taken their place, and the flow of people around the door seems to be quite popular.

Zhu Jue swept the situation in front of him, judging from the dress of these people in front of him, it was the same as the situation in the subway train before, there were basically few ordinary people, almost all of them were a new profession that had emerged in the past two years - gold diggers.

Gold rush!

The term originally referred to the gold rush that followed the discovery of huge gold deposits during the westward expansion of the United States, and it is mentioned again in this day and age.

Due to the migration of population in recent years, the population of a considerable part of the second- or third-tier cities in Dongzhou has plummeted, and even reached the situation of 1 in 10, which has caused an inevitable situation - urban degradation.

The migration of people leads to the transfer of the local government, after all, even the people are gone, and the government naturally has no meaning to exist, but don't forget, the people can go, but the city can't!

At most, the migration of the population will take away some floating wealth, and some large things will not be transferred at all, especially in those cities that are on the front line of the outbreak of the crisis that year, and the people cannot even retreat in an orderly manner.

Therefore, these abandoned cities have become gold mines in another sense in the eyes of these gold diggers!

The disassembled parts of the abandoned intelligent robots, the chips of some high-tech products, circuit boards and other objects, even the regular stores in Dawning City are not refused, let alone the market in the black market.

If you are lucky and find a rich mansion that you don't have time to retreat, the "treasure" inside can even make a commoner at the bottom of Dawn City become a middle-level person overnight, and live an extremely happy life in the eyes of others.

Even in the first two years, as long as the luck is not bad enough to go out and crash into a monster and die on the spot, and take a walk outside, there are few people who don't make money, the difference is only in how much they earn.

That's how the craze was created.

Never doubt humanity's quest for windfalls.

How can we solve our worries? The only way to get rich is to get rich!

In this way, it seems that the grand occasion that Zhu Jue is seeing now is actually not so difficult to understand, and with the development of the gold rush, it is not a strange thing that the corresponding market rises.

Of course, this kind of gold rush will not last long, after all, there will always be a time when the resources in those cities will be emptied.

"I hope Yecheng hasn't been affected by the gold rush ......"

Zhu Jue looked at the information on his mobile phone and pursed his lips, his things are all in his own safe, even if nothing else, those bags of gems and the Book of Dekian can't be taken away by others.

In fact, he doesn't have to worry about this for the time being, the A-level danger zone is not so easy to enter, nearly 90% of the gold digger mortality rate is no joke, and most of the remaining 10% are still those who turn around and run away when they see that the situation is not right.

Because the crowd in the waiting hall was too dense, Zhu Jue chose to stay in the corridor next to it.

Approaching the time of the train's departure, there was a team of crew members from the station walking towards this side not far away, and there were quite a few people, not only the normal train staff and the armed forces mentioned on the Internet, but even the acquaintances I had seen in the subway station before.

When these people entered the platform, it was not long before the ticket gates began to operate, and everyone began to rush to the platform.

Looking at those guys carrying various weapons and equipment, Zhu Jue was not in a hurry, and waited for everyone to pass before slowly walking off the platform through the ticket gate.

Compared to any high-speed train Zhu Jue had ever seen, the fortress train that was two or three laps larger had already stopped in the track, and Rao was also surprised that Zhu Jue saw this "steel beast" for the first time.

The heavy steel shell almost enveloped the entire train, and the scratches and other strange marks on it proved that the journey was probably not as easy as expected, and the tall mechanical ramming angles at the head and tail of the train were stained with a lot of dark red blood, and there were still several suspended cleaning robots doing the final cleaning before leaving.

There are several fully automatic machine gun platforms hanging on each section of the carriage, and the pitch-black and cold cluster barrel is rotating on all sides at this time, seemingly adjusting the angle, but in fact, many times it deliberately sweeps the waiting crowd on the platform and makes a clicking sound when loading, causing many people to subconsciously retreat to the side, for fear of being torn to pieces by the metal storm that may suddenly appear.

There is obviously a warning in this, you must know that almost all the passengers on the bus are fully armed, and if there is not enough force to deter, it is difficult to prevent chaos.

It's just that to Zhu Jue's surprise, the interior of this extremely rugged fortress train is quite humane, and the distribution of seats is all box-style, although there is no door, but there are opaque glass bezes in the front and back to block it.

Zhu Jue, who was taking snacks from the vending machine on the side of the car, looked at the car that was gradually becoming lively because of the passengers' seats.

I secretly thought that those partitions were specially designed for fear of "who do you look at" and "what are you doing" between these heavily armed guys.

After all, some of them don't look like good stubble.
