Chapter XXIII: Under the Federation

The trees outside the window were speeding backwards.

The temperature difference between day and night in this city seems to be very large, Zhou Yan sat in the back seat of the taxi, his face leaned against the window, the exhaled breath condensed into a faint mist on the window, and raised his gaze slightly, he could see the towering neon buildings in the distance, but he didn't know how far away they were......

"Master driver, where is this?" Zhou Yan asked.

"Highway 13 bridge ......" The driver's voice was a little stiff.

may be because he saw that Zhou Yan's outfit, coupled with the pestle at the door of the police station in the middle of the night, was squatting in prison nine times out of ten.

"That'...... What about this city? Zhou Yan asked again.

The driver of the "......" was silent for a while: "Ya-12 City." ”

Zhou Yan frowned, it seems that this world doesn't care much about the name of the city, simply mark it with numbers, and it's over.

As for Yah before the numbers...... Zhou Yan felt that the Eight Achievements meant Asia.

So, he spoke again, "That'...... What about the country? ”

In the "......" rearview mirror, the driver's vigilant eyes swept over, and this time he did not answer Zhou Yan's question.

Well, whoever picks up a person in out-of-season clothes at the door of the police station in the middle of the night will be a little wary. If this person keeps asking weird questions, the best way to deal with it is to...... Ignore him.

Zhou Yan smiled helplessly and cast his eyes out of the car window...... Speechless all the way......

After about 20 minutes, the driver stopped the car on the side of the road.

When Zhou Yan got in the car, he said that it would be good to take him to the nearest city, so the whole drive was not too long.

He took out the hundred-yuan bill and handed it to the driver, the banknote was printed with a very high spire, which was estimated to be a very representative building somewhere in this world, but Zhou Yan didn't care much about it now, in fact, he didn't even have much impression of the pattern behind the banknote in his previous life.

Then, the driver asked him for 55 yuan.

Zhou Yan felt a pain in his flesh......

No way, it's half past 10 in the evening, and the bus stop sign on the side of the road says that the last bus leaves at 10 o'clock.

After that, the taxi went away, and I could feel that the driver didn't want to have more contact with Zhou Yan.

Under the street lamp, Zhou Yan wrapped his clothes tightly......

Looking around, this should be a bustling street, because the air still has the unique smell of street stalls, but now all the stalls have been closed, leaving only oil stains and mess.

Tomorrow morning, there should be some sanitation aunts to clean up, during the day, people will hide their noses and hurry by, and at sunset, the street will be full of people.

Good things can easily cover up the dirt of the past, and it is the same in any world.

Zhou Yan walked along this road...... In fact, he didn't know where he was supposed to go.

Before, he had asked about his identity in this world...... Unfortunately, I am just a vagrant. Before he was arrested and put in prison, he was kicked out for not paying rent, and his job was lost a year ago. I have always lived on those loan sharks.

In fact, if I didn't think about it this way, if I hadn't been caught as a scapegoat, I probably wouldn't even have food.

"It's miserable." Zhou Yan sighed.

Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to a bright cottage on the side of the street, and he followed the light...... The sign reads: [Asia-12 Bank]

Like many banks in previous lives, it has a small area where you can withdraw money 24 hours a day, and the incandescent lights inside are several times stronger than the street lights, and through the window, you can see several ATMs embedded in the wall.

Zhou Yan hesitated for a moment and walked over.

Rest assured, Zhou Yan didn't want to dismantle the ATM with his bare hands...... He was just looking for a place where he could spend the night.

Although the cash hut has a hard tiled floor, it is better than a night breeze outside. As for whether there will be police coming looking for trouble...... Whatever, I'll talk about it then.

So, Zhou Yan searched nearby, and he was lucky to find some paper shells and a piece of styrofoam thick enough.

He dragged the items into the house, then flattened the cardboard shells, broke the styrofoam in half, and stacked them together to use as pillows.

In this way, tonight's bed has been found.

Moreover, Zhou Yan felt even more lucky...... On the wall of this hut, there is a charging socket!

Zhou Yan hurriedly took out the charger in his pocket and the mobile phone that had long been out of battery......

After plugging in...... Zhou Yan looked at the screen expectantly.

It's a touch screen, and although the brand hasn't seen it, it looks much the same as the mobile phone in the previous life.

Within five minutes...... there was a "drop" sound, and the phone lit up.

Zhou Yan just nestled in the corner, and first flipped through the communication records.

【Loans】

【Taxi】

【Electricity Bills】

It's all useless calls, and it seems that the police are not talking nonsense, and they are really unrelated and unjustified in this world.

Next, Zhou Yan opened an icon that looked like a browser and began to search on it.

As for what he's searching for...... That's just too much.

After turning the pages for about twenty minutes, Zhou Yan rubbed his eyes and put down his phone.

In the review just now, Zhou Yan probably figured out the framework of this world.

First of all, there is geography...... On the whole, this world is exactly the same as my own world before, it is all the earth, and the distribution of continental plates is also the same.

The time is 2025, and the technology is similar to the world before the rebirth, but the history is a little different.

In the taxi just now, Zhou Yan asked which country this was, but the driver did not answer.

At that time, Zhou Yan thought that he didn't want to take care of himself, but now that he thinks about it, it doesn't seem like that...... The reason why he didn't answer was because there was no such thing as a "country" in this world.

The whole world, in fact, is a whole...... Unification is called the Federation.

Compared with the previous life, it was probably in the 9th century A.D. that there were some historical deviations. At that time, the largest country in the world was the 'Asian region' where Zhou Yan is now, and he estimated that it was almost the Tang Dynasty in his previous life.

And the Tang Dynasty in this world doesn't seem to be as peaceful as in his previous life, and he doesn't know which emperor has a bad temper, so he is bent on expansion.

Although we do not advocate war, we ...... The Tang Dynasty in this world is indeed fierce, and in just forty or fifty years, it has really encircled the entire Asian region.

After that, the whole world began to gradually move closer to unity.

Although there were uprisings and wars in the following 1,000 years, they were of little use, and finally, in the middle of the 18th century, the Confederation was born!

After that, the concept of the country was gradually forgotten, and the major plates, according to the habits of the time, were only called [Asia], [Africa], [Europe] and [the United States] four major plates, as for the land of Australia, because of immigration and volcanoes, etc., now there is basically no one, and it is almost the same as the treatment of the Antarctic and the Arctic.
