Chapter 652: A Profile of Heaven and Hell
When Chu Ge left the Extraordinary Association, it was already the beginning of the lanterns.
A light rain falls in the night sky, and the raindrops reflect the neon lights and flickering light on the glass curtain wall, creating a colorful haze that makes the high-rise buildings feel like they are located in a beautiful paradise on earth.
This is a wonderful scene that Chu Ge has never seen since he was a child.
Half of it comes from the increase in microparticles in the air caused by the revival of Reiki, which constantly refracts, diffracts and reflects various light sources, making the colorful light criss-cross, which is equivalent to a super-large-scale kaleidoscope to outline a brilliant picture.
The other half comes from a variety of neon lights that use new immortal cultivation technology, super giant displays, including an electronic fireworks array composed of drone swarms.
There are even some street performers who seem to be cultivators, and when their fingertips jump lightly, there are rainbows that flutter in the wind like ribbons, slowly rising in the slanting wind and drizzle.
Chu Ge sat in the back seat of the taxi, his head leaning against the window, looking out the window, between the drizzle and fireworks, this city that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
His hometown has really changed so much in the past year or so that after just a little more than a month of fighting underground, many neighborhoods on the ground have become unrecognizable.
The landmark skyscrapers were soon surpassed by rising stars who sprung up one after another; Next to the largest chain restaurant group in more than ten years, a more exquisite and brilliant signboard has been erected one after another; The "magic treasure market", which focuses on all high-tech products for cultivating immortals, the large-scale theme playground founded by the cultivator club, and all kinds of new companies, new markets, and new entertainment methods that Chu Ge could never dream of, are really like fragments in a kaleidoscope, rushing to jump into his eyes, making him dazzled and dizzy.
Overall, the benefits of Reiki revival to Lingshan City far outweigh the disadvantages.
Now, the citizens of Lingshan have gradually become accustomed to the impact of Reiki revival, and have learned to live in harmony with the traversers and awakened ones, and enjoy the various benefits of the ever-changing world.
Above the market, there are satisfied and hopeful faces everywhere; Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the taverns and restaurants full of voices and laughter; There are also people with small flower umbrellas, moving lightly in the drizzle, ready to go home to reunite and enjoy the beautiful night, everything is so quiet and peaceful, happy and beautiful.
Seeing all this, the corners of Chu Ge's mouth couldn't help but evoke a faint smile.
However, there was always a lingering phantom in the depths of his mind, which made his soul tingle faintly.
No, not one, but ten thousand, one hundred thousand, one million.
It was a picture of a million rats, wielding swords and banners, roaring and rushing towards the insect tide, and the insect tide was bleeding like a river, both defeated, and fell in pain in a broken posture.
Chu Ge knew that this was his obsession.
It's the little personality "long tongue" that was produced when his soul drilled into the body of a mouse, and a wisp of obsession left behind.
Although his obsession is not as deep as Bai Ye, it is still like a sharp fishhook, hidden under the cerebral cortex, pulling his cranial nerves from time to time, sending out a faint tingling pain, reminding Chu Ge not to forget its existence.
As a result, a strange cross-sectional diagram appeared in front of Chu Ge's eyes.
It was as if there was a huge blade of nothingness, slicing the entire Lingshan City from the middle, allowing him to clearly see all the images from hundreds of meters above the ground to hundreds of meters below the ground.
Five hundred meters above the ground, there is a light show formation composed of countless drones, dancing in the night sky of Lingshan City every night, forming a variety of magnificent, thrilling, and exquisite patterns, in this way to praise the strength of the Earth Alliance and the greatness of human civilization, and to deter the immortal cultivators and magicians who have just crossed over to the earth, urging them to register with the relevant departments as soon as possible.
Three hundred meters above the ground, is the row of skyscrapers on the top floor of the viewing platform, most of which have been opened up into expensive high-end restaurants, richly dressed dignitaries and eunuchs and Chu Ge such as the new rich class, can be in the melodious music, holding fine wine, looking into the distance, will be splendid, the beautiful night view of the city, in full view.
100 meters above the ground, the surface of the high-rise buildings is mostly equipped with new neon lights and luminous glass curtain walls using Xiuxian technology, and the entire building can be turned into a three-dimensional surround display screen to broadcast various commercial advertisements and entertainment programs.
Although there is a suspicion of light pollution, it also imbues Lingshan City with a sense of the future far beyond the 22nd century, it is like a super metropolis out of a science fiction movie, and I heard that even Tianhai City can be so gorgeous and prosperous in every block, which makes the citizens of the city proud.
One meter above the ground, a three-dimensional highway network with a lot of traffic, bustling neighborhoods, and happy people.
Ten to fifty meters below the ground level is an underground three-dimensional transportation network where the roadheaders work at full speed all the time.
At present, there are only three subway lines in Lingshan City, but according to the planning of the "Special Zone", in the next ten years, the number will increase to fifteen, and in the next 50 years, there may be nearly 30 underground rail transit lines, as the skeleton and blood vessels, greatly expanding the scale of Lingshan City, so that this former coastal town will grow into a real super metropolis in the next 100 years.
All of the above is what ordinary citizens refer to, the "human world" that is quiet, peaceful, prosperous, and beautiful.
And look down a little further......
Fifty meters below the ground is a monitoring and defense network carefully constructed by the relevant departments of Lingshan City and the Earth Army.
As Chu Ge knows, there are a large number of monitoring probes, infrared warning systems, infrasonic alarm and attack systems, and triggered high-voltage power grids, as well as countless remote-controlled tracked armed robots, patrolling day and night, with high vigilance.
While ensuring that no snake, insect, rat and ant can easily burrow into the ground, this defense network is also like an iron wall, dividing the ground and the underground into two insurmountable worlds.
The rat people thought that as long as they fought to the death, they would be able to win the favor of the "gods" and one day ascend to a beautiful paradise and bask in the sunshine between the blue sky and white clouds.
It's a pity, at least until now, that their "gods" are a group of ruthless, hard-hearted beings, whether evil insects or loyal rats, once they cross the line, they will be killed mercilessly.
At this moment, and perhaps forever, their dreams are just dreams.
But the rats are ignorant of all this.
A hundred meters below the ground is the main battlefield of the bloody battle between the rat clan and the insect tide.
While the people on the ground were enjoying the delicious food and wine, and immersed in the laughter and laughter, the rat people beneath the ground were screaming hysterically, rushing towards the deformed and ugly enemy, gnawing at each other's flesh and blood, turning both sides into a blur of flesh and blood.
When the air on the ground ripples with a faint fragrance of flowers, and reflects the brilliance of neon lights, large LCD screens and drones, like ripples of rainbows, the air under the ground is full of dirt, rancid stench and strong smell of blood, and under the dim luminous moss, in addition to the steaming blood miasma, is a yellow-brown poisonous mist.
When the children on the ground are learning about human civilization, friendship, kindness, justice and strength in a bright and clean environment; The children of the earth, when they were born and could not even open their eyes, were instilled day and night to sacrifice everything without fear of sacrifice and pain, for the supreme gods!
Perhaps, among these children, the smarter ones are considered to have the potential to further awaken their wisdom, to be able to learn language and writing in a relatively comfortable environment, to understand more truths, and to live a longer period of time in relative safety.
And the vast majority of children with clumsy brains, half a year after birth, can be stuffed into tin cans, issued with simple spears, become qualified consumables, in the name of the gods, send them to death.
On the ground are high-rise buildings, birds singing and flowers, and the world is happy.
Underneath the earth is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, an eternal battlefield, and a hell of Shura.
Chu Ge felt that the beautiful new world he originally envisioned of "human civilization and rat civilization sincerely communicate, cooperate with each other, and build together" was by no means like this.
Knowing that he was suspected of not having a firm position, Chu Ge still couldn't help but think about the little obsession that belonged to the "long tongue" in his heart, the Lingshan City in front of him was so prosperous and beautiful, but was this prosperous world that had been quiet for years partly built on the tired bones of the rat clan?
Even if we don't consider the ethereal moral issues, can this paradise built on hell really be stable for a long time?
