Chapter 749, The Empty City
After all, this era can be said to be an era of rising up, compared to our era. Although this era was not so rich, it was very simple.
It seems that along with the development, we also forget a lot of things. But when I was walking around the city on my bike, I felt it. The city's unique imprint of the times.
This is a trace of the times, and here there are things that evoke the peculiarities of the 80s, such as the courtyard houses. For example, small stalls. For example, those who sell sweet potatoes. All sorts are everywhere.
But although the stalls are still there, the owners have all disappeared. It's just that when I pass by, I seem to see it. A stall selling popsicles, sodas.
It's just that all of this is a thing of the past.
The time here seems to be summer, and there are large banyan trees on both sides, each dragging long wicker sticks. This area seems to be a residential area, with entrances to residential buildings on both sides, often deep laneways, and high walls with garden trees. It seems that the environment here is still very good, and the few shops are also for life, such as small supermarkets and laundries.
The residential buildings are all from the 80s, and the tallest is only five floors. It seems that the establishment time is quite short. Therefore, it is not at all like what I saw in modern Nanwu City, which is already dilapidated, even dilapidated and even dangerous, and has been waiting to be demolished.
Time seems to pass very slowly here, and as I ride my bicycle through the city, I feel a wave of fear in my heart. It's fear that I can't even put into words.
In comparison, Yang Yaxin and Ye Donggu are much simpler. The two of them were heading towards a place at the moment. And this place is exactly the most luxurious place in the city.
"Where the hell are you going to take me?" Ye Donggu looked at Yang Yaxin speechlessly, eager to hack him to death with a knife.
"Oh, there's no one here and there, and the whole city is empty. Don't you think this is an opportunity? Yang Yaxin said with anticipation on his face, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"Opportunity. What chances? Ye Donggu was puzzled.
"You still don't understand, the whole city doesn't have a single person, but what's inside. There are a lot of supplies. Isn't that the rhythm that makes me rich? Speaking of this, Yang Yaxin laughed wildly, but it also made Ye Donggu extremely speechless.
"If that's the case, then you'd better go yourself. I'm not interested. Ye Dong Guting said with footsteps.
"Of course I'm not here to get rich, I always think there's something weird about this cityβ€ so come with me." Yang Yaxin said a lot to him, and then grabbed him impatiently and ran away.
Ye Donggu had no choice but to follow him towards a certain place in the city. In the 80s, Nanwu City was rushing. Yang Yaxin's face was full of evil smiles.
It was an empty city, and it was a paradise for him. So he ran down the street, smashing the glass of the surrounding storefronts.
I have to admit that in some cases, the desire for destruction prevails over all. Especially in this empty, silent dead city. Yang Yaxin smashed unscrupulously.
What glass. At the door, all of them were unlucky. was smashed by Yang Yaxin, and soon Ye Donggu also joined in. Pick up the sword. Just smash it around.
In an instant, the glass turned to ashes and disappeared in front of him. Ye Donggu also had a smile on his face. Hands constantly waving. The storefront in front of you. It's all in pieces.
"Haha, it's really enjoyable." Yang Yaxin panted and stood in place and said, feeling a burst of excitement in his heart. The mood that had been desperate because of the appearance of the king is now improving.
Sabotage is always the easiest way for people to vent. The two of them cheered in the street like madmen. Then frantically smashed the surrounding shops.
Even Ye Donggu was completely infected, and he didn't know the situation at the moment. Fight with him.
Look at everything from the eighties. Yang Yaxin wielded the Red Fire Sword, and then followed Ye Donggu to the destination he wanted.
That is the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Nanwu City.
It was a whim that he had imagined, in an empty city, if you could take everything, where would you go?
Undoubtedly, it is natural to go to the bank. Where is the place where wealth gathers.
The Industrial and Commercial Bank of Nanwu City is a three-storey building. This was already huge at the time. And the door can still be opened.
"Let's go, let's go rob the bank!" Yang Yaxin raised the Red Fire Sword and shouted in a cheering voice. Then Ye Donggu also roared. The two of them rushed to the bank door with a roar like two werewolves.
The dusty bank hall is as silent as death, almost a hundred square meters, much like the bank business hall in China, with seats on the outside and windows on the inside, but there are no ATMs to be found. And it's no wonder. There were no ATMs in the eighties. Everyone withdraws money with a passbook, not even a bank card.
Yang Yaxin walked to the window and reached out and knocked on the glass of the counter. Then the red fire sword in his hand slashed directly, and the glass in front of him shattered directly to the ground. It seems that the hardware facilities of this bank are not bad.
"What are you cutting glass for, and the door is unlocked?" Ye Donggu asked.
"Haha. We're here to rob the bank. Yang Yaxin laughed wildly, and then rushed over, shouting in a voice: "Rob." Get down on your knees for me. β
It's just that he howls wolf, but there is no one else, which inevitably makes people feel extremely surprised and speechless. In this empty bank. It's definitely an extraordinary attraction.
"Come on, brother, let's go on a rampage together!" Yang Yaxin roared angrily. Then he rushed straight into the staff room. This is where the most money goes in the bank.
Ye Donggu also rushed over, when he frantically opened the drawer behind the counter and saw the cash inside. He jumped up and roared in a loud voice, "Great, it's really cool." β
Ye Donggu also walked over and found that the drawer was full of cash. Of course, these cash, naturally, are not modern. It's from the eighties. All of them are the currency of the times, and many of them are even ten or five yuan. And the largest is no more than fifty. There is no old man with a hundred dollars at all.
"What's going on, why don't you have a hundred dollars?" Yang Yaxin looked carefully among the piles of currency, and then said with a disappointed face: "It seems that there really is no hundred." β
"It was the '80s, and the highest was 50." Ye Donggu gave him a blank look, and then explained. Looking at the stacks of currency neatly placed, there are many scattered account books, stamps, coins, fingerprint buttons, etc. on the countertop, as if the salesperson has just left the cabinet to go to the toilet? But then he closed the drawer, and instead of finding the excitement of the windfall, it was more depressed and heavy.
What's really going on here? It makes people disappear without even caring about the huge amount of cash in the drawer. Where have the whole city gone? Why is there someone in the orphanage?
Yang Yaxin didn't care about this, and put all these people in his pocket excitedly. Just looking at the stacks of money, he was suddenly stunned and said, "I forgot one thing, it's over." β
"What's wrong?" Ye Donggu looked at him amusedly, and he also carried a lot of money in his pocket. He also has a stipend at the Supernatural Archives Bureau. It's just that the Supernatural Archives Bureau is gradually not being reused, and the appropriation above is also less. Since he can make a fortune, then he naturally will not refuse.
"These currencies are all from the eighties, and they are long since been phased out. Can't spend it at all. Isn't it useless that we have so much currency? β
With that, he grimaced in frustration and left all the currency on the ground. Don't forget to step on it.
"That being said, these currencies can be exchanged for a modern version of the currency through a bank. Every bank will recycle the currency. Ye Donggu said.
"Haha, I see, since that's the case, we're going to grab it." Yang Yaxin finished speaking excitedly, and then he didn't look at the money, but looked at the bank vault.
If you want to say that the bank has the most money, it must be the bank's vault. Yang Yaxin's eyes looked at the vault, then he screamed, and directly grabbed the red fire sword and rushed over.
The Red Fire Sword easily tore through the door of the vault, and then Yang Yaxin and Ye Donggu rushed in, and then looted it on a large scale.
