Chapter 11 The Modern City
"Ahh This is the sea. β
Zong Yu took a few steps: "Miss Lin, why are you talking about Canghai City... None of the ghosts? β
Lin Xue looked at a tall building in front of her: "Do you remember it?" β
"Huh?" Zong Yu turned around and looked at Lin Xue's line of sight, a high-rise building with dozens of floors in front of him, surrounded by countless huge glass curtain walls on all sides, exuding a strong sense of science and technology in the sun, perhaps it was the illusion that the shape of the building was slender, coupled with the sharp design at the top, giving people a very high feeling, but compared with the building next to it, it immediately showed its original shape. Zong Yu was puzzled: "How can I remember it?" Are you thinking of me as your fiancΓ© again? β
Lin Xue shook her head: "Don't you remember jumping off the tenth floor of that building?" β
"Huh? That's what you say? Impossible, that floor... Oh, I see, the 11th floor of this building was gone at that time, no wonder. β
Lin Xue smiled: "That is the headquarters of our Golden Phoenix, and now the fairies are waiting for us there, let's go, go and meet." β
In a strange place, hearing that he was going to meet a stranger who only had one or two sides and didn't even remember his face, Zong Yu had a feeling of meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land, and unconsciously accelerated his pace, Lin Xue smiled: "Are you going to go over so far?" β
Zong Yu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered the underground transportation network extending in all directions, but he didn't want to be treated as an ignorant hillbilly all the time, so he pretended to be deep and said: "People in your era should exercise more, Miss Lin, if you feel tired, then we γγγγγγ β
Without waiting to finish, Lin Xue said: "Then let's go, yes, I haven't come out to bask in the sun for a long time." β
This time it was Zong Yu's turn to secretly complain, although the building was in sight, but according to visual estimates, the straight-line distance would not be short and 3 kilometers, although it was not too far, but it would take some physical strength and time to walk over on two legs, but Lin Xue didn't think so, and really raised his feet and left, Zong Yu followed behind him and looked at her thin heels in horror, couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and said secretly: "Hmph, as a modern person, will I still lose to you ancient people?" β
Thinking about it, he also quickened his pace, looking around as he walked.
Lin Xue saw him like this, so he introduced him as he walked: "The silver circular building in front is the energy trade center, the most important place, since the invention of HIPV3 and JQ109 a few years ago, non-renewable resources such as oil and gas have been completely eliminated, as a trading center for strategic materials, where the richest people gather in Canghai and even the entire eastern region, but unfortunately they are all ordinary profiteers." β
Zong Yu was surprised: "Can you manage the profiteers or the profiteers?" But if you can eliminate natural gas, are the two letters you said renewable? β
"Well, yes, they are all refined and synthesized by seawater, which will not affect the quality of seawater, and the regenerative ability of nature can ensure that these energy sources will never be exhausted, so these strategic resources are strictly controlled and managed by the United Nations, including refining, distribution, etc., and even the national government has no right to interfere."
"That's as it should be." Zong Yu took a few more steps: "Strange, why do some buildings seem to have no doors?" β
"Of course, it is said that now all life activities can be done indoors, and this gate has almost become an ornament, so many building designs completely omit the door." Lin Xue sighed: "The development of science and technology, the main driving force is human laziness, so, this is the development of science and technology to the end, and the further the development of science and technology, the faster the process, he once said that his work in one night can withstand the past decades or even hundreds of years of scientific and technological process, and there is no need to stay up late." β
Zong Yu was surprised: "Oh my God, what about those ordinary people at the bottom who put aside you wealthy families or social elites?" It is not easy for them to support their families, and will they have the money to enjoy the convenience brought by high technology? β
"Money?" Lin Xue said with a smile: "What's the use of asking for money as an ordinary person, everything is free, since you were born, your life has been divided into three, six, nine and so on, only a very small number of people will enter professional schools to receive high-end knowledge and eventually cultivate into elites, and most of the other people will receive ordinary education, live an ordinary life, and have no worries about food and clothing, so, the concept of money here is different from what you think, fortunately, this has only started in recent years, and there will be fewer and fewer people who can think like this in the future." β
"I still don't understand, isn't your Lin family a big family? Isn't it because you have a lot of money? Why is money not important anymore? β
"Then you'd be wrong." Lin Xue was a little impatient: "Do you know why I married him?" In fact, sometimes, interests, power, status, etc. are not equal to money, there are many things to be snatched, and many things cannot be bought by money, and now, these things that cannot be measured by money are the most valuable. β
"I seem to get it a little bit." Zong Yu tried to overturn his original assumption and re-establish his understanding of this place: "Then what is the plan you are talking about to destroy the world?" β
"Of course it's the destruction of the world." Lin Xue suddenly stopped: "People's greed is terrible, now the world is not as everyone wants, there are so many people who want to destroy it and re-establish a new order, some are because of the fear of today's high-tech explosion, nostalgia for the past life, and some are yearning for power, so the plan to destroy the world came into being, in fact, it is said that it is the destruction of the world, but in fact, it is not the world that is destroyed, but science and technology." β
"Oh!" Zong Yu nodded and said: "Seriously, if it were me, maybe I would also become tired of this comfortable life, so this plan to destroy the world also has a certain amount of truth, but it is too radical, in fact, as long as you try to change and change people's lifestyles." β
"Then you are wrong, how easy is it to say, you must know that people born now, when they are born, they will be injected with a protein vaccine, this vaccine will not only be immune to all known viruses and bacteria, but also have an effect on people's thoughts, so, some people are born to be hedonistic, some people are destined to be great people after birth, this is the proportion calculated after the H system assessment IQ and then combined with social reality, so to change, do you think it is possible? Of course, with only limited intervention, acquired factors can also change a person, but it is difficult. β
"Why?" Zong Yu was puzzled: "In this way, what is the meaning of living?" Go along with the life designed for you by the computer, and you don't even have the right to choose? β
"Yes, sometimes I think it's cruel to do this, but out of consideration for social stability and other factors, this was finally written into the law, not domestic, but worldwide international law, which is also one of the very few reasonable reasons for the people who promote the plan to destroy the world."
βγγγ γγγβ
Zong Yu sighed lightly, turned his head to look around at the strange world he had just recognized, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Lin Xue suddenly stopped in front of a building that looked a little like a library, and after a short pause, she walked inside, and Zong Yu followed her into the building.
Since coming here, Zong Yu has seen so many people for the first time, the preliminary estimate in the bar is that there are at least three hundred or more people, some are drinking and talking in groups of three or five, and some are drinking alone in front of the long bar, the top of the bar is a huge ball of light, which is very similar to the spherical rotating lights of the dance hall, shining colorful light downward, and the dark bar gives people an ambiguous feeling, Zong Yu is a little uncomfortable, and he doesn't know the purpose of Lin Xue's coming here, just follow the direction of the bar.
There were no service staff, Lin Xue sat down on a bar stool, her hand touched lightly on the countertop, Zong Yu followed and sat aside, Lin Xue said, "Do you want wine?" β
"Don't." Zong Yu shook his head and continued: "I promised your mother that I wouldn't drink." β
Lin Xue showed a hint of a smile: "Didn't you already drink it yesterday?" β
"Yesterday was yesterday, I'm with us... What your mother is talking about is from yesterday's present to today's future, yesterday is today, today is the future, of course, you have to start counting from today. Zong Yu chirped for a long time: "Bring me a glass of milk." β
Lin Xue sneered: "Go to the bar to drink milk, you are really interesting, let's have a glass of juice." β
"That's fine."
"And what fruit do you like?"
"Bananas, grapes, durian, so many, you can have one."
"Okay." Lin Xue tapped briskly on the countertop, and after a while, a tray rose up behind the bar, on which were placed a tie cup, a silver pot, two cups, a white porcelain and a glass.
Lin Xue pushed the big cup containing the gray thick liquid in front of Zong Yu: "Yours." β
Zong Yu looked at it: "What are you in there?" β
"Milk!" Lin Xue grabbed the small silver pot and poured it into the white cup, it was really steaming milk.
Zong Yu was stunned: "It turns out that there is milk?" That.... Forget it, it's juice or beauty, it's a pity that you don't drink it. As he spoke, he poured it himself, although it smelled a little strange, and he didn't think much about it and took a big sip: "Ah! Bah! What kind of fruit is this? β
Lin Xue said with a smile: "I added everything you like, banana durian grape kiwifruit, the taste may be a little bad, so I also added some garlic." β
"Huh?" Zong Yu was about to spit out the bile and said angrily: "Darkness... Cuisine... Yes.... β
Lin Xue couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha... β
"Yo, little sister is so happy?" A very muscular middle-aged man holding a wine bottle in his left hand and a big beer glass in his right hand came to Lin Xue's side a little drunk, Lin Xue immediately stopped laughing: "Go away." β
The man had a big beard and a red turban on his head, and he didn't look like a good person, he put the cup and bottle in his hand on the bar, and approached Lin Xue with a smile: "I'm not leaving, just... Don't go, you... How can you drop? β
Zong Yu was vomiting a lot, and when he looked up and saw this scene, he knew that Lin Xue was in trouble, although he knew Lin Xue's true identity and skills, but he was still a little worried when he saw that the man had a big waist and a round waist, and said busily: "Lin Xue, we... Let's go. β
Lin Xue disagreed: "I haven't finished drinking yet, let's go, drink!" Saying that, he picked up Zong Yu's juice cup and slapped it on the countertop, Zong Yu was stunned: "Sister, spare me, you can't drink it, I... Half in the bag! β
The man saw that Lin Xue didn't take him seriously at all, and dared to leave him aside to talk to the little guy, so this belly turned to Zong Yu, of course, with the scare and scare of Lin Xue, he slapped the table: "Boy, you... Where are you from? This girl... I'm the first to see you... Get away, no... Otherwise... Lao Tzu beats... Beat you up ... β
Zong Yu was taken aback: "This... What's the matter with me? Uncle, you're such a big person, it's not good to fight... β
Lin Xue moved back as if it was none of her business, making room for the two of them, which seemed to mean just waiting to watch the play, which confused Zong Yu: "Miss Lin, what are you going to play?" What if I am beaten to death? β
Lin Xue smiled: "It's okay, I'm not sad." β
"I'm related." Zong Yu cried with a sad face: "I just drank your exclusive formula juice, I have serious internal injuries, and now that the strong enemy is now, my life is resting!" β
"Less shame here." Lin Xue smiled: "You won't let me, a weak woman, protect you." β
The small commotion here still attracted the attention of some people around, and a tall and sturdy man walked over: "What's the matter?" β
The middle-aged man with a turban spit and said: "Don't be nosy, Lao Tzu is here to teach this kid who doesn't know the rules, who dares to interfere, Lao Tzu will beat him together!" β
The tall one blocked in front of Zong Yu: "You dodge a little, I'll see how capable he is." β
Zong Yu saw it, and hurriedly flashed to Lin Xue's side: "When the road is uneven, I roared, big brother, make a move when it's time to make a move, I'll support you!" β
Lin Xue sneered: "Zong Yu, you are really good at fox and fake tiger power, but what if he can't beat it?" β
Zong Yu said in a low voice: "Then what are you waiting for, as soon as they make a move, we will run... That's not right... β
Lin Xue said: "What's wrong? β
Zong Yu raised his eyes and looked at Lin Xue: "What do you mean by this?" You can hide behind and pretend to be weak so that I am beaten by others, you are trying to trap me, fortunately there are good people, otherwise I will be beaten with blue nose and swollen eyes, are you particularly comfortable? β
Lin Xue smiled: "I, I'm just letting you see and see, the people here are not as wooden as you think, they are also flesh and blood, and similarly, there are also good and evil, beautiful and ugly, by the way, that is the person from our organization, just rest assured to watch a good show." β
"I see, a false alarm, scared me... Zong Yubai glanced at her: "Forget it, it's not a good thing to fight, what's there to see, let's go." β
"What's the hurry? Read it before you go. Lin Xue hurriedly grabbed Zong Yu, and he had already started there, only to see that the two of them did not face each other with their fists and feet as they imagined, but in... Wrestling your wrists...
"I'll go!" Zong Yu was disappointed: "Nima forced him for a long time to break his wrist." β
"You can do it."
"Uhhh Zong Yu swallowed his saliva dryly and lowered his voice: "I can't do itγγγγγγ β
Lin Xue said with a smile: "There are computer controls everywhere here, and all illegal activities are also under surveillance, so even disputes are resolved through some relatively mild ways, otherwise you will face jail time if you are judged to be a criminal act by the system, so you can rest assured, but it is different in the place where it is out of surveillance, okay, let's go." β
Zong Yu hurriedly waved his hand at the tall man who was wrestling his wrist with the red turban, but he didn't want to be tallerγγγγγγ Zong Yu hurriedly covered his mouth and ran out.
After a while, I finally came to the Golden Phoenix Building, and as soon as I entered the building, a man and a woman at the service desk in the hall stood up: "Team Lin is good!" β
Lin Xue nodded and walked straight to the wall to enter her fingerprints on the wall, and the elevator opened: "You go and enter it too." β
Zong Yu hurriedly entered skillfully, and then boarded the elevator together: "How many floors?" β
Lin Xue pressed 10, the elevator slowly went up, and Zong Yu was puzzled: "Huh? Why doesn't this elevator speak? β
"Professor Zong, shameless!" The elevator suddenly made a sound overhead, and... Or repeat the broadcast.
Lin Xue was also stunned: "Zong Yu, what's the matter?" What did you do with the elevator? β
Zong Yu was also shocked: "What's going on? I'm saying foul words.,It stands to reason that that's 500 years later.,Why is this elevator scolding me shamelessly now.,You're shameless.,You've been scolding for 500 years.,You broken elevator.γγγ β
Lin Xue was also stunned when she saw Zong Yu scolding at the elevator: "You... Do you pay attention to the image? β
When Zong Yu heard this, he hurriedly pulled his clothes: "Eh, I'm impulsive, I'm impulsive, but it's broken... β
"Okay, okay, why are you like this, you can be on the bar with a computer, and the sisters will see what it looks like in a while, shut up for me."
"Oh...
The elevator was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Tracheitisγγγγγγ β
Zong Yu couldn't hold it back anymore, and kicked at the elevator door: "You broken elevator, Lao Tzu kicked you to death, kicked you to deathγγγγγγ β
"Doot toot!" The elevator suddenly flashed red light around her, and Lin Xue was shocked: "You, you kicked the elevator badly?" β
Zong Yu rolled his eyes: "No, oh yo, impulsive, impulsive... What should I do? β
Lin Xue was busy groping on the side of the door: "The elevator has its own repair function, but I don't know where it is, so I will look for it first." β
Zong Yu thought about it and pressed his hand on the 11th floor, at this time something magical happened, the red light stopped flashing, the elevator continued to rise, and Lin Xue also wondered: "What's the matter?" β
"I don't know, wait until you get to the 11th floor and then press the 10th floor to see."
Sure enough, as Zong Yu expected, the elevator smoothly sent the two to the 10th floor.
Lin Xue was also convinced, shook her head and walked out of the elevator, only to see several women in bright dresses there, some holding wine glasses in their hands, some sitting on the sofa, and some huddled together to talk, like a celebrity club.
"Team Lin is here." A woman in a red dress with a red wine glass snuggled to the side was the first to speak.
