Chapter 291: Evacuation
Day 1.
It was raining lightly in Canterlot at six o'clock in the morning.
Qi Jun crossed Erlang's legs and sat under the canopy of the old teahouse.
He liked this rainy weather the most.
Except for the ticking rain, it was quiet.
At hand is a light of light tea, and the fragrance of tea slowly rises, blending into the thousands of strands falling from the sky.
"Mr. Qi, health experts say that it is not good to drink tea on an empty stomach, do you want to try my refreshments here?" The middle-aged man who runs the old teahouse asked.
"None of those wellness experts lived past sixty." Qi Jun smiled, "Give me some and try your craftsmanship here." ”
Footsteps from far and near could be heard in the dense rain curtain.
The long-handled umbrella is like a black lotus flower, gently fluttering in the rain.
The group came under the canopy.
Shake the rain off the umbrella.
Collect the umbrella.
All acquaintances.
"At the age of thirty, how can you learn to look like an old man." Jiang Fatzi muttered.
"Haha, the pace of life in Canterlot is slow, and if you live like this, you can live one day at a time." Qi Jun said with a smile.
Lu Wen hung the umbrella aside and said to the boss inside: "Get some morning tea, we haven't had breakfast yet, just deal with it." ”
"No problem, everyone, wait a minute."
The boss went in and got busy.
Everyone found a place to sit down.
It's not bad to listen to the sound of rain early in the morning, and you should wash your soul.
"Are there any android killings in Canterlot these days?" Lu Wen asked.
"There are android homicides here in Canterlot every day, and it's nothing new, I'm used to it." Qi Jun replied.
"Is there anything out of the ordinary?"
"I haven't found it yet."
It seems that Zero is still in the adaptation stage.
Such a large data center should be a challenge for her.
The successive android incidents in the past few days are probably all her attempts.
She's trying to control more androids little by little.
"You haven't been gone for a few days, why did you come back again, is there anything else?" Qi Jun asked with a smile.
While talking, the boss brought black tea to everyone.
The tea grounds have been filtered.
Crystal clear pale red, with a few jasmine petals sprinkled on the tea water.
There is also the fragrance of honey.
Xia Chuluo took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Inform all the residents under that shadow that you can start evacuating, and it is best to leave all within a day." ”
Qi Jun was stunned.
What does this mean......
"You're going to attack the Floating City? But you're just that...... Is it a bomb? Mr. Xia stayed? He immediately thought of the crux of the matter.
To be able to become the leader of the organization, this understanding is still there.
"Yes."
"I'll inform someone right away."
"Be as secluded as possible."
"No problem."
A great evacuation began.
In the hazy rain and fog, many residents dragged their families and brought valuable belongings with them.
After the last incident, many people have been apprehensive and have not moved back.
Xia Chuluo took a large amount of money out for the resettlement of those residents.
Originally, many people were reluctant to leave, but when they saw the money given by Xia Chuluo, they immediately agreed.
There are many houses in Canterlot.
When it was prosperous, a large area was expanded outward, and now those areas are empty.
"Miss Xia is really ...... It's so rich. Qi Jun had to sigh.
The money given by Xia Chuluo was enough for the evacuated residents to buy a brand new house.
There are even leftovers.
"At the beginning, Mr. Xia dug up a lot of pre-war treasures, and those treasures were left to Miss Xia, to be honest, I can't find out how much money Miss Xia has." Jiang Fatzi said.
This is the first time that Xia Chuluo has shown everyone the power of money.
In the past, it was all about force and intelligence to solve problems.
"Lu Wen, do you know how much money Miss Xia has?" Jiang Fatzi asked.
"I don't know." Lu Wen shook his head.
"Your predecessor was a housekeeping android, and it is your biggest duty to help your employer spend money, and the money of the android is basically from the employer, if you don't have money, you will ...... in this society."
"But I'm also rich."
Lu Wen's words made Jiang Fatzi stunned.
The power of money hit this fat man hard.
Yin Long's legacy.
As a former blue engineer, holding countless patents, and the number one best-selling author in Mowu City, the old man's money is also so much that he can't spend it in several lifetimes.
He left 100 million points for Lu Wen.
The rest was given to Daisy to donate.
"Some residents are reluctant to move." A young man from the secret door said.
"Then knock out and forcibly take it away." Qi Jun said calmly: "Don't scruple too much, informing them is already considered benevolent." ”
As the most powerful organization on the ground.
The secret door called on a number of other organizations to help with the transfer.
As soon as they heard that they were going to prepare to make a move on that lofty city, many people were a little afraid, but more excited.
They are doing something great that has never been done before.
Pull that arrogant myth into the world.
"Mom, why are we leaving?" A little girl carrying a school bag, she turned her head to look at the crowd around her, her eyes full of doubt.
"I heard that the city above us is unstable, it will fall at any time, and there is money to be taken when it leaves...... That money, we can't make a lifetime of picking up rags by the river......"
on the dilapidated Canterlot roads.
Dilapidated vans were loaded with residents and appliances and drove to safer places.
"After the evacuation, they told me that I would take them to rest and recuperate, and it was still quite tiring to go back and forth." Xia Chuluo said.
"No problem, I'll do it as soon as possible."
……
Thin rains beat on the hotel's newly renovated windows.
There are not many people staying in the hotel these days.
Those who came to Canterlot to grab invitations are gone.
The shopkeeper is thinking about the rest of his money, and is planning where to spend the rest of his life after selling the shop.
"Fortunately, the group of killing embryos are gone, and it is rare to live a stable life these days."
The quiet inn is also very good, no need to be busy.
The owner has even contacted the buyer and packaged everything in the hotel for sale.
"I hope I'll never run into those guys again for the rest of my life."
"Squeak......
The old inn door was pushed open.
The familiar sound of doors opening and closing doors has been heard by the boss countless times.
He was still a little surprised, who would come to stay in the hotel this early in the morning?
So he looked up.
The next moment, the whole person was stupid.
"Summer ...... Miss Xia......"
"Hmm."
Xia Chuluo threw out a stack of banknotes.
"It's still the third floor, the same as before, remember to make breakfast early every day, don't be too light, is there a problem?"
"I didn't ...... Absolutely. ”
The shopkeeper was about to burst into tears.
He now wants to slap himself twice to see if he's having a nightmare.
But the clarity of reality makes him unable to accept this bleak life.
The team at the door is carrying large bags and small bags upstairs.
This quiet inn suddenly became lively again.
Lu Wen was still sitting on the window side of the hotel, and the rain was slowly flowing down the glass window.
After that invitation madness, Canterlot seemed to be a lot calmer.
He's waiting for someone.
It didn't take long.
The man came.
Luo Xunfeng, the former archdeacon of the Floating City.
He changed into ordinary clothes, and he still looked very energetic, but his fair skin seemed to have tanned a little.
It's only been a few days, and the July sun is really hot.
Luo Xunfeng sat opposite Lu Wen.
"You're going to blow up the Floating City?"
"To be precise, it is to continue to finish what the previous generation has not done." Lu Wen replied.
"There's no need to use such drastic measures, that city has been floating for decades, and the people on it, although arrogant, are ...... But ......"
Luo Xunfeng was stared at by Lu Wen's calm gaze.
At this time, I was a little speechless.
The city's pathologies are just too severe.
So is Canterlot.
He knew that both cities were sick, which is why he fell from the sky to find the root of this sickness.
"It's not just arrogance." Lu Wen spoke slowly, "The people above have been suppressing the technological development below, they are afraid of the appearance of the second floating city, and they are afraid that their own myths will be broken, and this psychology will become more and more serious. ”
"So the best thing to do is to pull it to the ground?"
"Do you think there's a better way?" Lu Wen looked at Luo Xunfeng's eyes.
Luo Xunfeng was silent for a long time.
The answer, of course, is no.
But he didn't want to admit it to himself, that was where he grew up.
"You're completely sure you've got the Floating City?"
"Then it depends on whether Xia Zheng guy will cheat his daughter."
"But there are still more than a million people in the Floating City, and their lives matter."
