Chapter 57: Shielding
Geng Jiangyue vaguely told his mother about his promotion and moving, and when he took the penultimate bus back to Nancheng at night, it was already dark.
When he entered the city, looking at the towering city walls, his expression was very indifferent. The frequency of stimulation throughout the day is too high, and the cells and tissues in the brain responsible for secreting dodopamine become numb......
The hundred-meter-high telescopic giant wall is so high that it is impossible to see the end in the dark night, and only when it is far away, it can be vaguely seen that a southern city in the distance has become a boxy cube, like a turtle shell.
The car passed through the city gate hole, and Geng Jiangyue got off at the stop of the military administration area in Nancheng.
The street lights in the city are bright and the light density is extremely high.
What made Geng Jiangyue even more amazed was that there were also Xuan talismans on the ground of the road.
The talismans were inlaid under the transparent floor tiles that could not be seen during the day, and they were lined up one after another, extending from the city gate to the depths of the southern city.
At the city gate, there were five steps and one sentry full of military and police on duty.
The guns in their hands seemed to be much more vigorous than the pistols Geng Jiangyue got from the logistics department.
Geng Jiangyue instantly understood why there were not many Xuan Fu in Beicheng, and where the root was.
With so many resources invested in the southern city, where does the city hall still have the extra money to invest in the northern city?
If you think about it more gloomily, I'm afraid that in the eyes of some big people in the Municipal Standing Bureau, there are a lot of second-level citizens and third-level citizens anyway, and how many of them die unexpectedly, I'm afraid they don't care, right?
Geng Jiangyue thought very cynically, while looking up at the sky, the sky above Nancheng has been wrapped in a layer of transparent dome, and when it is late at night, he is not afraid of rain and snow at all, not only that, but there is still a trace of warmth in the air.
- It is the heating that blows from each building.
In this world where energy is almost inexhaustible, it turns out that high-class people live like this......
Geng Jiangyue went out, and his outlook on life and society almost collapsed.
Along the road, which was more lively than during the day, he looked around like a turtle and walked towards Building 25, which was not far away.
When he walked into the building and saw people who were about the same size as himself, he finally calmed down.
At this point, it's time for dinner.
The second floor was crowded, and all the shops that were closed in the morning were opened.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Geng Jiangyue received another message, which was sent by Mengmeng, and asked him: "Master Yue, we celebrated the birthday of the goblin brother and his father in the No. 6 canteen, and almost all the people from the patrol team of the fourth district came." Would you like to come and get acquainted?"
Geng Jiangyue thought about it, and his cold nature was completely uninterested in joining in the fun, so he directly refused: "Thank you for the invitation, but the parents are gone." Refuse to engage in the base, start with me. Colleagues will get to know each other slowly in the future, don't worry. β
After answering, Geng Jiangyue walked straight to the nearest grocery store.
After spending 10,000 yuan in the afternoon, Yue Ye had already made up his mind to find ways to open up sources and reduce expenditure. After all, in this situation, looking at the whole world, the only people he has the face to borrow and are willing to lend him money are ribs.
But he can't just catch the ribs.
When there were only eight yuan and two cents left in his body, Geng Jiangyue's only choice was to buy some emergency food to satisfy his hunger, and then find a way to get some money out of the game, and work hard to pay his salary at the end of the month.
The grocery store in Building 25 was opened by the daily necessities management team of the Logistics Section of the Quartermaster Department of the Beicheng Guard Corps. But even then, things don't sell expensive.
The most hungry compressed biscuits, only seven cents and five cents per catty, are cheaper than Beicheng.
There is also the kind of soda that Geng Jiangyue drank in the hotel a few days ago, filled, a can is only five cents, and the price is ten times that of Beicheng's inferior soda, but whether it is quality or taste, it is definitely better than Beicheng's miscellaneous soda I don't know how many times.
Geng Jiangyue had no more money, just enough to buy 11 catties of biscuits.
But unexpectedly, when checking out, the owner of the store actually gave him two packs of beef jerky weighing about two catties, a large package of dried radishes and two boxes of drinks, which almost moved Geng Qian to tears.
"Young man, you just graduated from graduate school and enlisted in the army, right? Tut-tut, it's really sensible to be a corporal at such a young age. Don't have a psychological burden, our store is for you children who have just graduated. Though you take it and eat it, when you come to us, you will never be hungry again. The food in Sea Lion City can't be eaten by those of us who are soldiers. β
Geng Jiangyue had never received so many free gifts at one time in his life, so he couldn't stop thanking him sincerely, and then walked towards the elevator in a daze, carrying a large bag and a small bag.
After waiting for less than half a minute, as soon as the elevator door opened, a couple of non-commissioned officers and young couples who looked very affectionate came down.
When the two of them saw Geng Jiangyue carrying such a big bag of things, they couldn't help but smile at each other.
"Buy so many cookies...... Guaranteed to get tired of eating within three days......"
"It's like this when I just came, my family used to only eat compressed biscuits during the Huiyang Festival......
The little couple seemed to be talking to Geng Jiangyue, and as if they were talking to each other, and soon walked into the crowd.
Geng Jiangyue stood alone in the elevator, and after a few seconds, he pressed the floor button with hindsight.
The elevator door slowly closed, and Geng Jiangyue took a slight breath.
The city hall of Sea Lion City doesn't seem so bad.
At least, the people of Northside are not completely out of the blue......
But where did that awkward feeling of not being able to turn over come from?
I didn't worry about it for more than ten seconds, and the elevator clanged.
Geng Jiangyue stepped out of the elevator, and after a while, he entered the house.
Putting down the big bag of things in his hand, Geng Jiangyue immediately opened the compressed biscuits, devoured two slices, and then took out a can of drink, drank a third of it with taste, and put the rest in the refrigerator to save it for tomorrow.
Simply filling his stomach, Geng Jiangyue sat down on the sofa in the living room.
Taking a slight breath, he took out the gaming laptop from his pocket.
Unpack and turn on the switch. A burst of data streams through the mirror of the laptop.
Geng Jiangyue hesitated a little and put it on.

The information in front of Geng Jiangyue's eyes ended here, and in the next second, his consciousness appeared in the metal room of the consciousness buffer.
The game options in the metal room have been turned dark.
Geng Jiangyue tried twice, but he couldn't open it.
He frowned slightly, and immediately thought that he couldn't brush the [Resentful Heart] all night today, and couldn't help but say softly from the bottom of his heart: "My day your grandma's game company ......"
