Chapter 54: A City in the Mountains

The journey was smooth and smooth, and the surrounding environment changed from the plains at the beginning to the mountains and the trucks became uneasy.

"Ouch,!" Kang Ming heard Wan Shi's voice coming from behind, looked back, and found that he was rubbing his head and scolding. "Boy, you're not interesting enough, just leave Lao Tzu behind and stop!"

Kang Ming honestly parked the car, Wan Shi got down from the back, and directly opened the door of the cab, "Come down, come down." He said impatiently.

"You're going to drive? Can you drive it? Kang Ming asked.

"You can open it, why can't I open it!" Wan Shi was a little annoyed and angry when he hadn't drunk Kang Ming, and now he even questioned the prestige of driving, and he was quite unhappy in his heart.

Kang Ming didn't get out of the car, he moved directly to the co-pilot seat, Wan Shi glanced at him, wanted to say something and stopped, rubbed his head and got into the car and drove to Ji Tongcheng.

"Boy, why did you go to Ji Tong City?" It is rare for Wanshi to have someone to accompany him to deliver the goods, and since it is already like this, he decided to make friends with Kang Ming.

"I'm going on a trip." Kang Ming replied calmly.

"What? Tourism? Hahahahahahaha! A burst of hearty laughter came out of Wan Shi's big mouth, "Ji Tongcheng is a dilapidated mine, what's there to see?" ”

"I've never left the Science Metropolis to come out and see the world."

"Do you know anyone in Jitong City?" Wan Shi asked.

"Nope." Kang Ming knew people in the science capital could count them on one hand, let alone Ji Tongcheng.

"Well, then give me two drinks, and I'll be your guide." Wan Shi said boldly.

"Why do you like to drink? It's a terrible thing. Although Cumming was not drunk, he was disgusted by the smell of samu now.

"You don't like to drink?" Wan Shi thought that Kang Ming was a little drunkard, after all, people who can drink so much can't do it if they don't practice drinking regularly, so when he heard Kang Ming complaining that the wine was unpleasant, Wan Shi asked in surprise.

"I... Today is the first time I have been drinking. Kang Ming originally wanted to save some face for Wan Shi, but after thinking about it, it was better to be straight to someone with Wan Shi's character, so he told the truth.

"What?!" Wan Shi looked at Kang Ming in disbelief, his eyes were about to pop out, "You kid, don't lie to me, lie to me and I'll kill you!" ”

"It's really the first time I've drunk it." Cumming repeated it again.

"Then I'm capsized in the gutter today, I admit it." Wan Seok's character is very open-minded and quickly accepts this fact.

The two chatted all the way, and after a few hours, after crossing a hillside, a city that shocked Kang Ming appeared in Kang Ming's field of vision.

"Boy, this is Ji Tongcheng." Wan Shi introduced to Kang Ming with a kind of master's tone.

Kang Ming looked at the city intently, and was speechless for a long time in shock.

I saw a few kilometers ahead, there is a mountain several thousand meters high, facing Kang Ming's side of the slope, was forced to dig a round hole with a diameter of hundreds of meters, the inside of the mountain is empty, Ji Tongcheng, built in this mountain.

"I'm finally home." At this time when Kang Ming was in a daze, the truck had already driven outside the cave. Wan Shi got out of the car, stretched his waist, and muttered to himself.

"Boy, come down, what are you doing?" Wan Shi saw that Kang Ming was still in the car and yelled at him.

Kang Ming came back to his senses, got out of the car with his luggage, and said to Wan Shi, "This is amazing!" ”

"This is a broken cave, what a miracle, why don't you say that those thousands of meters of tall buildings are magical? You feel fresh, and it's the same after a long stay. Wan Shi said, and then beckoned Kang Ming to enter the city.

Different from the science metropolis, the people here are dressed very plainly, even sloppy, there is no feeling of colorful in the city at all, the clothes of everyone in Jitong City are gray, black, brown These dark clothes, even white can not be seen, the clothes are not neat, and there are many wear and tear holes.

"Boy, the people here are not as hypocritical as science, they seem to be fierce, but they are actually good people." Wan Shi said to Kang Ming as he walked. Because Kang Ming's little fresh meat looked a little out of place in Ji Tong City, many people stared at Kang Ming, which made Kang Ming feel a little uncomfortable.

Soon, the two came to a steel room, and Wan Shi skillfully opened the door and let Kang Ming in.

The furnishings in the room are too simple, just a bed, a chair and a table, except for wine glasses, there are some messy papers on the table, and the lighting is very dim.

"Is this...?" Kang Ming asked Wanshi suspiciously.

"This is my house, is there anything wrong?" Wan Shi asked Kang Ming with his waist in his hand.

"That's... Where do I live? ”

"Ahh Wan Shi put down the bag in his hand and said.

"And where do I sleep?" Kang Ming asked.

"On the bed." Wan Shi pointed to the bed and said.

This is the answer that Kang Ming has heard the most, not to mention that this bed is dirty and can't even distinguish the primary color of the sheets, and this bed is a single bed, how can two people sleep? Kang Ming's head made up the position he slept in with Wan Shi, a big man, in this cramped single bed.

"Huh!" He shook his head in disgust and refused.

"What? Abandon? ”

"It's not disgust, how can this small bed be enough for the two of us to sleep?" Kang Ming said helplessly, it's not easy to leave now, so he can only talk about it.

"Boy, I can't sleep in this bed a few times a year, don't worry." Wan Shi sat on the chair and said with some pride.

“… So where do you sleep? Kang Ming asked weakly.

"Then you don't care, put your things down, and follow me into the mountains." Wan Shi said to Kang Ming.

"Into the mountains? Isn't it already in the mountains? Kang Ming said.

"Lots of nonsense, come with me." Wan Shi got up and walked out the door, and Kang Ming quickly put down his luggage and walked out.

Because the whole city is inside the mountain, it is not bright even during the day, Kang Ming found that the lights in many places are always on, Wan Shi said, and you will see the most beautiful appearance of Ji Tongcheng at night.

Wan Shi came to a car with a huge cargo box in the back, a very simple car that could only seat two people, had no roof, and had wheels.

"Come up, what are you doing?" Kang Ming was very curious about this car, after all, he had never seen a car with wheels, and he didn't get into the car until he was shouted by Wan Shi.

"You must not have seen this kind of car, the name is Ji Tong car, it is the most primitive car, but it is also the most durable, the suspension engine you usually see is too delicate, and it will break down in a few days underground." Wan Shi unexpectedly patiently explained to Kang Ming.

"Underground?" Cumming got to the point this time.

"That's right, the whole inside of this mountain was originally Ji copper, and then it was hollowed out, so people simply built a city in it, and continued to dig around, and found that the underground Ji copper content is 100,000 times that of this mountain, Ji Tong City was developed at that time, but that was more than a hundred years ago." Wan Shi is really doing his duty as a tour guide.

"Have you been living in Ji Copper City?" Kang Ming asked Wan Shi.

"Yes, I've been living in Jitong City since I was born." Wan Shi replied.

Soon, the two drivers Ji Tong came to a lifting platform of about 50 square meters.

"This elevator can be lowered all the way down to 500 meters underground, and there is an excavation site every 10 meters in the middle, and we have to go to the 35th floor of 350 meters." The scanner next to the elevator scanned Wan Shi's face, and the elevator automatically went to the 35th floor excavation site.

After about a few minutes, the elevator stopped, and Wan Shi drove the Ji Tong car into the excavation site.

The excavation site was four meters high, and the surroundings were dimly lit, with few lights, and there was endless darkness on all sides in the distance.

"So big?" Cumming exclaimed.

"This layer has not been mined much, and some of the layers that are mining fast have already dug dozens of square kilometers." Wan Shi continued. "Let's go, let's go to today's mining site."

After a few more minutes, Wan Shi stopped the car, and there was a machine next to him that was digging and filtering out the rubble, and the back of the machine was full of rough copper stones.

"Ding Wen, stop." Wan Shi said to the young man who was operating the excavator on the machine.

"Brother Wan, you're here." The young man named Ding Wen stopped the machine and came down to say to Wan Shi cordially.

"Let me introduce you, this is Kang Ming, this is Ding Wen." Wan Shi introduced each other to Kang Ming and Ding Wen.

"Hello." Two people of similar age have friendly question marks with each other.

"Kang Ming, you can play here first, I'll do something, and we'll have dinner together in the evening." Wan Shi said to Kang Ming, and then turned his head to Ding Wen to explain, "You two are about the same age, and he is here from science, aren't you interested in science?" Talk more. ”

Wan Shi turned around and prepared to leave, "Put the rough stones on the ground into the Ji Tong car, it's everywhere, it's not like words." He instructed Ding Wen again.

Ding Wen shrugged innocently at Kang Ming, Kang Ming smiled sympathetically, and when Wan Shi left, the two got into the excavation truck together.

Kang Ming opened his mouth first, "Is your job to dig up rough stones?" ”

"It's not all, many excavation sites are using fully automatic excavation vehicles, Brother Wan is reluctant to spend money for fully automatic, I will occasionally come down to replace the special operator to work for a while, usually mainly to help Brother Wan run errands or something." Ding Wen replied with 1510.

"What's your relationship with him?" Kang Ming felt that Ding Wen was obedient to Wan Shi and asked curiously.

"My parents died in the collapse of the mine, and it was Brother Wan who rescued me and raised me ever since." Ding Wen said a little wistfully.

"I'm sorry." Kang Ming knew that he had asked about Ding Wen's sadness, and he felt sorry in his heart.

"It's okay, it's been so many years." Ding Wen smiled lightly and said, "You're from the science club?" ”

"Hmm." Kang Ming nodded and said.

"What will science look like?" Ding Wen asked Kang Ming with an expectant face.

"It's not the same as Ji Tongcheng, everything is high, and then there are holographic projection advertisements everywhere, and the pedestrians on the street are all rows of colors, colorful, and Ji Tongcheng looks much more simple and comfortable." Cumming replied.

"That's great, I have to go to the Science Metropolis." Ding Wen said.
