The river city at night is beautiful.

From a bird's-eye view from the sky, gas lamps hang over all the bustling streets and main roads, and the bright lights look like a chessboard.

There are very few traces of the old era, and even if there are still some broken eaves and walls, they are still covered with a new era.

For example, the overpass at the intersection of Shengli Road and Zhongshan Road in the city center.

The reinforced concrete piers are of good quality, even if the internal reinforcement has rotted.

Dense plants grew out of the dense cracks, and the entire bridge was covered with a layer of emerald green, and from a distance, it looked like a strangely shaped landscape rockery.

The bridge deck is also sturdy, has undergone the strictest inspections, and has been stamped with various wooden and stone buildings.

This is the most famous pedestrian street and flea market.

The gas street lamps decorate the "ecosystem" on the entire bridge with extraordinary dazzling decorations, the misty lights in the green, fat, red and thin, and the eaves of the Qionglou under the misty light.

Most of the pedestrians on the night tour carry an oil lamp, the board carts and ox carts creak and walk slowly, and the shops on both sides are full of people, seeing the hawkers and the chengguan of the new era fighting this guerrilla war, one will flow to the bridge, and the other will flee to the bridge, no one cares about the whistle and scolding of the chengguan, and there are many ignorant children, wandering and fighting everywhere, making the already very congested traffic more and more chaotic.

Standing at the top of the overpass, right in the center of the river city, looking out over the whole city, it is covered in the misty light and quiet shadows.

The sky is like a dark canvas, transparent and clear, with a half-moon hanging like a millstone and twinkling stars.

To say that the biggest legacy left to Jiangcheng in the old era is not the spiritual veins left behind by the resorts and landscapes, nor the output of the seven major sedimentation pools and the current spiritual stones, but the steel walls that the entire city guards behind them.

The area of Jiangcheng is very large, and the scale of this city wall is breathtaking, which is unimaginable today.

It is these great walls of steel that protect the entire city behind them that have the most basic security for nearly 10 million residents, and most of the other central cities were established too late, and the resources and manpower and material resources have been unable to support such a majestic scale, so they can only reduce the area, and the development potential will naturally shrink greatly.

Today, Jiangcheng can not only always absorb fresh blood, but also ensure the most basic food and material output in the city, which is especially valuable in the new era, and the potential of the mega city has been inherited on the map left by the old era.

It is precisely this potential that allowed Jiang Cheng to survive in the later period of extremely dangerous and bloody city battles.

At the stage of the city-state alliance, Jiangcheng's potential and scale allowed it to recover first, so as to occupy a powerful position and upstream of resources, and through a series of conspiracies, conspiracies, divisions, attacks and co-optation, the current "Jiangzhou City Alliance" was established.

The Jiangzhou City Alliance is a behemoth composed of five central cities, dozens of second- and third-level affiliated cities, countless towns, fortresses and forward bases.

Jiangcheng was the capital of the Union, and another city slightly inferior to it was Shuzhou, located in the territory of the former Hubei Province.

The original geographical division of provinces and cities has long been out of use, and now it is divided by city-states, and there are hostile, alliance, and neutral between city-states.

There is a reputation for iron fist and force, and believes in the naked law of the jungle.

There are prosperous with commerce and circulation, believing in the supremacy of resources, advocating harmony and wealth, and exquisite.

There are also city-states that focus on production and defense, believing that people don't offend me, I don't offend people, and if people want to offend me, I will hide in the turtle shell to fight a defensive counterattack, and this kind of city-states are usually small closed kingdoms, and they are very wary of the outside world.

Each city cannot escape these three categories, and these tendencies of the city determine their respective positioning, and the same positioning can form an alliance.

Of course, this is not absolute, the so-called Tao is not the same, but also depends on the location, environment and strength, if there are some war maniacs around, want to farm with peace of mind, it also depends on whether people agree or not.

The city alliance is mostly hostile, and it has also gone through many battles, large and small, and no one can help anyone to form today's territory.

Commerce is generally only carried out within the Federation, and there is still very little circulation across the Federation, except for an extremely special place like the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

Traffic within the alliance is the lifeblood, and patching leaks and monsters along the way must be done every once in a while.

Every city in the Alliance is important, and a city is a stable base of exploration, radiating large areas of safety for exploration and production.

The city, the roads connected to it, and the safe areas radiated from the city are the frontiers of the civilized world, beyond which have degraded into the wilderness, infiltrated by leaks, curses, and monsters.

In the material world, the main battlefield of space-time oscillation and space-time pacification is between monsters and spiritual creatures in these primitive, wild, and unknown areas.

Nowadays, no one knows what has happened, what is about to happen, and what is happening in those inaccessible areas, which leads to the greatest mystery and danger.

If there is an electronic map of the world's territory, all the city-states are lit and marked, you will find that on the dark map, civilization is a root structure, each city is the node of the root system, and the traffic between the federations is the root system itself, although the root system is developed and luxuriant, but most of the area is shrouded in the dark unknown and mysterious, the farther away from the root system, the heavier the color of the pitch black, representing the deeper the unknown and danger.

This is the land, and the vast ocean.

The vast majority of the sea is pitch black, and stable shipping lanes between continents do not exist at all, but the poor ones are the island countries, the larger ones are still surviving, and the small ones have been covered by the darkness.

The ocean equals the daunting road!

The night market on the Jiangcheng overpass has come to an end.

Around two o'clock in the morning, the vendors at the flea market have already started to clean up their stalls.

The shops on both sides have also closed, and the number of tourists and tourists hanging out has become scarce.

The sanitation department dispatched and began to clean up the mess of the day, a young cleaner scolded and pushed the carriage into a narrow alley, looking at the mess and oil stains all over the ground, I really wanted to cry without tears!

"Damn, I wake up earlier than the chickens, sleep later than the dogs, and eat worse than the pigs...... That's Lao Tzu. ”

"Fuck, Lao Tzu will resign tomorrow, even if he joins the pioneer team, he won't do this bullshit for a living."

The young man wore a mask and dirty overalls, and while cleaning up fiercely, he made up his mind not to mess around like this.

Join the pioneer team, either live and die.

The young man is fantasizing about being possessed by the European Emperor in the pioneer team, eating all directions, and from then on, he has counterattacked in his life, and he has become a tall serializer, Bai Fumei has married a dozen after a dozen......

Suddenly, the colors around him became bright, and everything around him became a little distorted, and then he heard a voice behind him say, "Excuse me, this is Jiangcheng, right?" ”
