147. Mine City
β¦β¦
This group of aristocratic boys is a drag racing clan led by this golden-haired young man.
Relying on their wealthy family, these people purchased a large number of good cars and spent a lot of money to renovate them. For a long time, the crazy racing here pursues excitement and never gets tired of it.
With their understanding, there is no rival to the skill of playing with cars in this place.
But the scene that just happened made them unbelievable. Not only was their car easily overtaken by the car from the back of nowhere, but they didn't even see each other's car clearly!
It's like a nightmare!
"Hey! Did you see that? What the hell is that? 'Boom' passed by us! β
The intercom in the car sent out a man's inquiry, which was a car behind him talking to him.
"That's it, that's it! Next to our car is the wall of the tunnel! I don't know how they passed, did you hear that thunderous sound? β
A shrill voice like an exclamation followed, apparently a woman.
"It's a car! I'm sure, but we didn't see what it was......" The yellow-haired youth replied.
"Wait for me to catch up and see, you will wait for me!"
"Be careful, there's a mountain road ahead!"
"I'm going to catch up with them to death!"
The incomparably arrogant spirit of the yellow-haired young man seemed to have been suddenly ignited.
He was sure to be a good driver, and in a frantic chase with gritted teeth, he finally saw the car on the winding mountain road aheadβtwo faint blue lights behind it, to be exact.
"Slow down! I'm going to die! It's a winding mountain road ahead! β
In the passenger seat, the girl with the amber earrings screamed.
Exercising at this speed on a winding mountain road is tantamount to suicide.
If you are not careful, you will have your car destroyed and people will die! And the sky is getting dark, and the road conditions are not clear.
"Shut up! You! I'm going to catch him today! β
But although the young man with long yellow hair said this, he suddenly realized this in his heart, and the speed of the car slowed down. But the two eyes were still fixed on the two lights.
The next moment, something shocked him!
The two blue rays of light in the distance in front of them did not decrease in speed at all.
The dazzling blue light and shadow swayed, and the car "floated" at a very high speed like a ghost, "floating" one after another mountain bends of more than 120 degrees!
"Oh my god! Who is that? What kind of car is that? β
The girl next to her screamed, as if she had seen a ghost.
"Whew, bastard! I must know who's driving on it! The yellow-haired youth slammed the steering wheel.
"Toot! βββ
There was a long roar, which startled the girl.
This exaggerated chase has already caused this girl's adrenaline to soar to an extremely high concentration, and the pupils of both eyes have dilated.
It's also so exciting! Even beyond what her body could bear.
They just stared at the two blue clusters of light, getting farther and farther away, and finally disappeared into the ridge in the distance. But they also judged from this that the car was heading for the main city of "Mine City".
"Humph! That's easy, since I'm going to the mine city, I don't believe I can't find you! β
The yellow-haired youth slammed the steering wheel again.
"Toot! βββ
The girl next to her couldn't stand the stimulation anymore and collapsed in her seat.
β¦β¦
Finally, the car with a mad murderous aura came to a halt on a bustling street in the Mine City, leaving two long black lines on the ground.
The rock man got out of the car after parking it, and when he looked back, he couldn't help frowningβFit and Old Man Barton staggered out of the back seat, and as soon as they got out of the car, they began to clutch their necks and vomit wildly.
He thought that it was still very stable to drive such a primitive vehicle, but he ignored the feelings of the passengers' weak bodies and mental endurance.
After a stomach search, the two sat on the side of the road with a depressed expression, gasping for breath. The excessive shock stimulation and stomach cramps made people almost collapse, but it could be seen that they were very conscious.
Passers-by looked at the car with curiosity, as if they had just escaped from the mouth of the beast, and looked at the car with the same curiosity.
"There's an old man, it's really terrible to drive so the street......
An elderly woman shook her head.
"Hey, these people must be aristocrats playing with cars, so rampage, aren't they afraid of accidents? Fortunately, there were no deaths! β
"Yo he! This car is pretty good, and it has a jet-booster, a big horn-like thing! β
"Stay away from them, I don't know what kind of character I can't mess with......"
"There are two brushes! The technology is not bad! β
Amid the gossip of the people eating melons on the side of the road, the three of them walked to a tall building that doubled as a hotel and entertainment.
The sheer scale of Mine City is indeed not comparable to that of remote towns in other places.
When the street lights are on, the streets are bustling with activity β there are so many shops and places to live, and that's just what they see on the ground, there are many more and more places underground......
The buildings in the center of the city are very beautiful, and although some of them are very old, it is not surprising to consider that this place has been built smoothly for hundreds of years.
The rock man walked in front of him, as if he didn't care about the strange stares of the people.
He didn't pay attention to the beautiful and strange graffiti on the walls. There are also pipes and valves that are steaming and entwined around various buildings in an extremely complex form. Or the fantastical lights that flicker to attract people who set foot in this place for the first time.
"The situation here is much better than other places......
Fett exclaimed.
"Well, it's recovering well."
It's not that the rock man hasn't seen a more prosperous scene, he has been to places where the level of technology and civilization far exceeds here, and even the strange urban civilization of the alien universe. He was only slightly amazed at the resilience and tenacious vitality of human beings.
His voice in his own words was obviously heard by the two of them, who had recovered some of their strength.
Barton had been to Mine City a few times a long time ago, and had some knowledge of its history, so he began to talk about the man whom "Fett" called Uncle Rock.
There are countless small towns in this entire mining city area, much larger than those in the west, and small towns with a population of tens of thousands in the far suburbs are also common.
The largest and most populous place in this place is the main city of the "Mine City". The "Mine City" is somewhat different from the rest of the cities in the Central Continent - it is not a city, but a group of dozens of large towns around it, the so-called "satellite cities".
Therefore, "Mine City" should be a general name for this place.
It's no exaggeration to say it's a megacity. Mine City, including the surrounding urbanized suburban towns, has a terrifying population of nearly 600,000 people.
Of course, Mine City also has a city center, which is where they are now - the largest settlement in the plain surrounded by 4 hills.
The entire city center consists of a 9-storey superstructure and a 6-storey underground structure.
In other words, the main castle of the mine city is divided into two structures: above ground and underground.
The underground structure is actually a huge refuge left over from the pre-civilization era, which has been transformed. These underground shelters connect the surrounding 13 giant underground farms that are still in operation today.
These are almost the best-preserved farms since the cataclysm.
The closest to Mine City are Farms 7 and 9, as well as several farms in remote towns, numbered 41 to 51, with little damage.
As a result, the food supply here has been stable over the past few hundred years, and the population has grown much faster than elsewhere.
In other words, it has always been the city with the largest population inflow in the central continent.
When the first humans to come out of the underground more than 400 years ago, they were surprised to find that this place was still so intact.
