Chapter Seventy-One: The Bookstore
【Emperor's Capital】
The capital of human society in the Old World, occupying the center of the Gaia continent, occupies a total of 90,000 square kilometers of the ground, which is quite five times the area of the imperial city.
The city is surrounded by a hundred-meter-high wall and a nine-tiered barrier that completely seals off the Emperor's capital and protects it from surprise attacks from the outside world.
This kind of barrier can be resisted by proton weapons, not to mention nuclear weapons, and can only be accessed through the four gates of the south, east, and west.
Not everyone can enter or leave the Imperial Capital, and even residents from the second largest city, the Imperial Capital, must submit a comprehensive application to the local government and pass a strict review before they can be granted a pass...... If you want to get a temporary residence permit or permanent resident status, you need to do a lot of work here.
In addition, the Imperial Prefecture can be roughly divided into "Interior Districts" and "Outer Districts".
The outer city is an area where ordinary residents live, and there are also many special offices. Cities have everything they should have, and they are much more prosperous than other cities.
After all, it belongs to the center of the Gaia continent, and the most prosperous emperors attract all elite humans.
The strength of the supernatural in the Emperor's Capital is much higher than that of other cities, and there are also very powerful institutions with great backgrounds - [Imperial Capital Dart Bureau], [Chamber of Commerce Alliance], and [Adventurer's Guild].
The continent of Gaia is huge, and there are even 'secret realms' in many hidden areas.
The legacies of our predecessors, rare treasures, and many others are hidden in this continent.
Only a small percentage of people with abilities will choose an ability office to earn money and spend the rest of their lives in peace.
However, ambitious people with abilities generally have no fixed place to live, and put themselves on the brink of danger at any time, participating in the [Imperial Capital Dart Bureau] to escort dangerous materials, participating in the [Chamber of Commerce and Business Alliance] to gain status, participating in the [Adventurer's Guild] to take on difficult tasks, going to the area of alien beasts that humans have not fully set foot in, exploring treasures, completing tasks to obtain rewards, and also gaining experience.
Life in the outer city is quite rich, and it also symbolizes the peak social state of mankind in the current era.
As the name suggests, all institutions directly or indirectly managed by the government are concentrated in the internal area.
Including the strange people that Yu Jing and others want to find, the same is true of the Imperial Capital Police Station to which they belong.
Crossing the barrier and stepping into the Emperor's Capital, Yujing couldn't help but stop, shocked by the architectural style and technological development level of the Emperor's Capital.
The outer urban areas are dominated by oblong white intelligent buildings, and the fully automated layered transportation system frees up open ground areas.
Even in the face of the disaster, most of the emperor's citizens remained here.
The humans who can live in the Emperor's Capital are well aware of a key problem, if the Emperor, who symbolizes the top level of the human race, cannot stop the invasion from outside the territory, even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, it will be in vain. Rather than a corpse wilderness, it is better to die at home.
A squad of human soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor is patrolling the outer city to prevent ill-intentioned people from destroying the social system in the outer city at this time, and ensuring the stability of the outer city.
Seeing the Adenomical Token that Yu Jing and the three of them had taken out, the soldiers immediately gave way politely.
"Don't rush to the military garrison first, follow me."
This time, Hasta actually took the initiative to lead the way and took the airbus, which was still operating normally.
"The effect of this pillar of light is not like destruction, there is spatial sensing. It should be mainly about teleporting the people in the space ship to the Emperor's capital, or some other role. The interior is surrounded by a powerful barrier, and there is no way to observe the fierce fighting inside. ”
The unexpectedly calm and stable outer part of the Emperor's capital was something Yu Jing had never imagined.
I thought that the human towns around the Gaia continent were completely dilapidated, and the emperor should not be much better, but who knew that the basic economic and social system in the outer city was still functioning normally.
"Get out of the car."
From the Airbus stop, walk down the spiral staircase to the street area.
The place where Hasta leads the group is his retreat, a special bookstore for scripts and books.
The bookstore is set up in the depths of a narrow and dark alleyway, and only a small sign stands at the entrance of the alleyway indicating the location of the bookstore, with four words written on it that can be easily misunderstood.
【Yellow Bookstore】
Yu Jing couldn't help but start complaining, "Won't the name of your bookstore be blocked?" Moreover, business should be very good. ”
"Business is okay, barely enough to support me...... Anyway, my bookstore has been closed for a long time and I need you to help me clean up. ”
The bookstore in Hasta is old and out of date, with a rusty iron gate and a large lock hanging from it.
"Wow!"
When the iron gate was opened, a burst of dust spilled out, and the dusty bookshelves looked like they hadn't been cleaned for at least half a year.
The tungsten light cannon is slowly lit, and there are a few books wrapped in yellow covers scattered in the small bookstore of about 20 square meters, all of which are books created by Hasta himself, which is relatively close to the name of the store, but the otaku who enter the bookstore with a small yellow book will probably be disappointed.
There is also a wooden door in the bookstore that leads to the room where Hasta usually writes and rests.
"You're a great evil god, living in this kind of place?"
The wooden door was pushed open, and the smell of rotting wood came out, and a bunk bed was placed in the ten-square-meter room.
A dirty sheet was laid on top for sleeping, a decaying wooden table underneath was used for writing and writing, and a half-burned white candle still stood in the corner of the wooden table.
There is not even a bathroom or window in the room, it is dark and damp, and ordinary people will never be able to stay in this environment.
"What's the problem? Many other evil gods still live in some filthy and foul-smelling caves, and I am not bad here, I can write and sell books. There is also a tofu brain shop at the corner of the street, which tastes great! It tastes better than the human brain, and there is a cigarette shop across the street with homemade cigarettes that are invigorating and inspiring. ”
By the time Hassta said this, Yu Jing had already imagined an evil god with a tentacle face sitting in a small, damp room.
Under the candlelight, the evil god was sucking on the tofu brain while writing the script, and at the same time holding a cigarette in his mouth, swallowing the clouds and spitting smoke......
"It's a leisurely life, but sometimes it's interrupted by some people."
Hasta looked at his bookstore and sighed slightly.
"By the way, one of the people under my control will keep important information about the Emperor's capital here every day, even if I'm not there...... Let's see if there is any information about He Damin. ”
Hasta took out a large amount of intelligence information from the secret mailbox at the door, which had been piling up for half a year.
However, there is information about He Damin, which makes people's hearts shocked.
