Chapter 349: The Yukon of the Afterlife

"Come on, Kiel, I don't know about you yet, if you want to say that there is no shadow of you behind this, I won't believe it!"

Li Yaoyang continued to play aggressively.

"F**k, bastard, if I knew how to kill you, I would have killed you a long time ago, and I would have been pissed off by keeping you?" Kiel was roaring, and his anger could be felt over the phone.

"Honestly, huh? Is it you? ”

"It's not! How many times do you want me to say it. ”

"Okay, no, no, what's the roar, this person has a really bad temper!"

Poof~~~ It's good to hang a mouthful of old blood spurting out, how many ways are there to talk about how angry people don't pay for their lives? Answer, it is enough to have Li Yaoyang.

Although he didn't ask one, two, or three, Li Yaoyang was basically sure that this matter was not planned by Kiel.

Because his tone just now was not angry, but completely wronged.

"It shouldn't be him!" Moffett said the same.

"Hmm~ Yili, I still have to find out where he went, this money can't be taken away by him like this!" Li Yaoyang still felt unhappy, although the money was borrowed by Pelop, but it was uncomfortable to be pitted.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, Wang Hong ran over to open the door, it was Xiao Er.

He hurried in:

"Brother Yang, Xiao Qi is back."

Li Yaoyang stood up:

"Xiao Qi is back? Where's it going? ”

"In the hospital, a little frostbite, being treated."

"Let's go, go see him!"

Seeing Xiao Qi, it was only a few months, as if a few years had passed, his whole face was covered with wind and frost, his skin was a little sallow, and he looked like he was in his teens and twenties.

There are frost wounds on his hands and feet, and some places are blue and purple, and the situation is a bit miserable.

However, he was in a good state of mind, he was talking and laughing with Xiao Wu, and when he saw Li Yaoyang, he wanted to sit up.

"Lie down, don't get up, how about it? Is there something wrong with your body? ”

He didn't ask Xiao Qi, he asked Xiao Wu, and Xiao Qi would definitely not tell the truth.

"Brother Yang, don't worry, I have confirmed with the doctor, they are all repairable injuries, and the problem is not big."

"That's good, have a good rest during this time, and I won't assign you tasks."

Xiao Qi was anxious:

"That's not good, Brother Yang, I'm fine, if you have a task, just arrange it for me!"

Li Yaoyang waved his hand, meaning that it was decided:

"Where's Ah Biao?"

"He stayed in White Horse City, if this route wants to be stabilized, he must keep people there, and outsiders are not at ease."

"You're right, I'm glad you went along, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to arrange it."

After that, he learned about the current situation of the Yukon with Xiao Qi, which is both the same and different from the later generations.

Let's talk about the difference first, 100 years later, for the Chinese people, there are very few people who know about this place in Yukon, and most of the locals of Maple Leaf Country have never been here. Or some of you come for a short time to travel, see the aurora, hunt or something, and basically hear about this place.

Moreover, the first-hand information about Yukon on the Internet, especially in Chinese, is also quite limited, and most of the descriptions are words such as "extremely cold" and "remote".

Yukon is located in the northwest of Maple Leaf Country, bordered by Alaska to the west, Northwest Maple Leaf Country to the east, and British Columbia to the south.

The capital is Whitehorse, also known as Whitehorse.

Yukon is not a province, it is a region, presumably similar to the autonomous region of later generations in the country, and is one of the three major regions of the Maple Leaf Country.

Thanks to this location, Whitehorse residents can drive across the border to Alaska for fishing or visit the picturesque town of Atlin on the border with B.C. on weekends and long vacations.

The entire Yukon has a population of about 40,000, roughly divided, mainly First Nations and Maple Leafs of European descent.

There are only a few hundred Chinese at most, most of them live in the capital city of Whitehorse, a small number of people live in other towns in the Yukon, and there are very few people in each town, more than 2,000 people, less than a few hundred people.

In short, the Yukon is sparsely populated, and those who like to be lively may feel deserted and unpopular; People who like to be clean definitely feel quiet enough and have enough privacy.

Don't look at the small number of people, in addition to Air Canada and WestJet Whitehorse, Yukon also has its own local airlines, and they are quite powerful.

If you live in the city of Hakuba, it will not take more than 20 minutes to drive from any place to Hakuba International Airport, from which you can fly directly to Vancouver, Victoria, Kelowna, Calgary, Edmonton, etc., all in more than 2.5 hours.

If you are traveling within the province, you usually have to drive to other towns.

However, although the capital city of Whitehorse is a city, it is a town at best by Chinese standards.

Dawson City is the second largest "city" in the Yukon, and to put it that way, it is actually as small as a village, with only about 2,000 people.

Yukon also has an inhabited place in the Arctic Circle, with only about 200 people, all of whom are First Nations, and it is the only place in Yukon that cannot be reached by road, and access is by plane.

The Yukon winters are indeed extremely cold, but this mainly refers to the whole of Yukon, including some sparsely populated remote areas, where few people live in the first place, and most of them are indigenous people.

People have lived in that kind of cold place for hundreds of years, and they have long been used to it.

But for the average outsider, if you live in Yukon, 99% of them will live in Whitehorse.

There must be a reason why the population is concentrated in Whitehorse, one of which is that Whitehorse is located in a valley and is relatively close to the Pacific Ocean, so the climate is milder than the famous aurora tourist city of Yellowknife in the neighbouring province.

In addition, Hakuba is very dry in winter, and if you have spent time in a wet and cold area, you must know that dry cold is much better than wet cold.

Winter temperatures in Hakuba range from minus 10 degrees Celsius to more than 40 degrees Celsius.

Temperatures above minus 20 degrees are relatively common days, and the situation of minus 40 degrees Celsius is only a few days a year, and it lasts for a few hours in a day.

However, the winter here is not as difficult as in the south, and I usually drive in winter, and there is plenty of heating in public places, so as long as I don't walk outside for a long time, I won't feel very bitter.

But if you have to walk on the street for a long time at minus 30 or 40 degrees Celsius, or engage in outdoor activities at this temperature, or sell matches, the situation will definitely not be good, and even your life will be in danger.

Other cold places are either windy or clammy and cold, and they are really not as comfortable as Yukon.

Many people have the impression that Yukon is very cold, and it is very likely that most people do not actually live here, and they usually go to Yukon to see the Northern Lights in winter, and the time is usually in the middle of the night to go out to see the Northern Lights.

Either you spend a lot of time outdoors doing those skiing and outdoor sports, which is really cold, but it doesn't mean that you live in the Yukon people.

However, there is one thing that the Yukon winter is unbearable for ordinary people, that is, it is incredibly long.

It looks like it was a month long in those parts of the province of Ontar before and after.

The heavy snow in the backyard of the house-to-house did not melt until early May.

Frost falls in mid-September and snow falls from time to time at the end of September.

By October, the branches are almost bare, and winter begins.

Another point is that because of the high latitude of the Yukon, the days are relatively short from October to February every year, from 10:30 to 11 o'clock in the morning, and after 5:30 in the afternoon, it is dark again.

So when I go to work at 8 a.m., I have the illusion of going to work at 5 a.m.

If you live in those sparsely populated areas of northern Yukon, I'm afraid it's dark most of the winter.

Conversely, the best time to do it in Yukon is from late May to late September.

Spring and autumn are so short that you don't even know it. So it feels like the Yukon is only winter and summer.

But because the winter is too harsh, the summer will retaliate and compensate.

Although the snow has just melted in mid-May, the long hours of sunshine allow the plants to burst into life in just a few days or a week or two.

The Yukon's summer scenery is spectacular, with comfortable temperatures and more than 19 hours of sunshine per day.

If you go to bed early and wake up early, you can hardly feel the night.

Even if I was driving on the road at 10 o'clock in the evening, the sun was so bright that I had the illusion that it was noon.

In summer, it is in the mid-20s during the day, and the hottest time is around 28 degrees, and occasionally it can reach 30 degrees, but there is no air conditioning.

In addition, housing prices in Yukon are much lower than in big cities, but they are not as cheap as expected.

And the Yukon housing prices have been relatively stable, but with the generous salaries offered by the Yukon government to attract talents, and some immigration policies, the number of people in Yukon has gradually increased, and it is reasonable for housing prices to rise.

Of course, jobs are also easy to find because there is so much shortage of people.

There are few people here, and it is the residence of the aborigines, so all kinds of strong support to stabilize the people's hearts.

Both the regional government and the local private sector are not short of money, and the minimum wage here is $15.70 per hour.

Take the most common position of office clerk as an example: private companies can generally pay $18-21 per hour, and the Yukon government is even more wealthy, and the lowest-level administrative clerk can start with an annual salary of $54,000.

Other positions with a bit of technical content or professional content are easily 80,000 or 90,000 dollars in annual starting salary, and if you can become a professor, it will be 120,000 yuan.

As long as you have good enough English and some relevant work experience, it is not difficult to get a position in the Yukon government.

This is probably why many people from other provinces in Yukon, they may just come here just to find a job with a decent salary, thinking about mixing experience and then returning to their hometown or big city to settle down, but after coming, many people are out of control.

Because in such a small place, it is really possible to "have more money and less things to be close to home", and finally slowly settle down here.

As for whether it will be too boring, how do you look at the score.

If you're an otaku, it's the same everywhere, if you want to go out, don't think about nightlife or anything, there is really no shortage of outdoor activities.

Yukonites drive their RVs and their families to camp deep in the mountains and forests in the summer, and there are more than 50 well-maintained, well-equipped camps in Yukon;

Or grab a friend for a hike that is one of the best in the world, with breathtaking views of mountains and rivers;

You can also take a boat ride on the lake, rippling in the blue waters, enjoying the summer sun and the spectacular scenery that is unique to the area.

In winter, you can go skiing, and of course, ice hockey, which is loved by Maple Leaf people......

And, don't forget, the Yukon also have a wild activity – hunting.

The Yukon Mountains Woodlands are a wildlife paradise with far more animals than people, and March and October are the hunting seasons for Yukon, including elk, moose, bison and more.

Of course, if you're already tired of being here, you can head to the airport after early work on Friday afternoon to hop on your flight to Vancouver, spend a fun weekend in Vancouver, and catch the last flight back to Whitehorse on Sunday evening.

It sounds like it's all pros, but are there any disadvantages? Of course!

One is that you can't get sick, even if you come and go, you don't need to be treated, you can get better, and once you get a serious illness, you have to go to Vancouver for treatment.

In particular, incurable diseases are basically equivalent to waiting for death in Yukon.

The level of medical care and resources here is limited, and your GP will connect you to Vancouver for treatment.

If you are in a hurry, we will send a helicopter to take you there, and of course these are free of charge.

Some people will feel very insecure about this, especially for sick seedlings, after all, in big cities, local hospitals can solve the problem, and there is no need to go to other places for treatment.

In addition, there is no mobile phone signal outside Whitehorse.

It's not because of the technology, it's that there are too few people to invest money in building these things.

If you drive out of Whitehorse on the highway, you won't have a signal on your phone, let alone Google Navigation, or even make an emergency call until you reach another town.

This is very inconvenient, in case the car breaks down on the road in the winter without reaching the village and not at the back of the store, then how to call for help?

In addition, public order is also a problem, and there are crimes and undesirable phenomena such as stealing, smoking, and drunkenness.

In fact, these phenomena exist in other provinces, and they are not necessarily less than those in Yukon, but because they are sparsely populated here, these crimes are particularly prominent and disturbing.

Much of the crime is First Nations-related.

There are many First Nations people in Yukon, although the local government has been vigorously helping these First Nations groups with various welfare benefits and various support policies, encouraging them to go to school, work, and get rid of the decadent life.

But the solution to the problem is obviously not so fast and not so easy, and this may involve many historical and social problems.

Finally, if you are a beauty lover, you will hardly find a space for beauty here.

The temperature here is only in the mid-20s in summer, and it will get cooler at night and you need to add a jacket, so you really don't have a chance to wear a skirt, let alone high heels in the ice and snow.

Not to mention high heels, there is often snow and mud on the road for a long time of the year, and you will definitely not be able to walk on the road in beautiful leather shoes;

In addition, I am afraid that I have to wear a down jacket for half of the year, and the thickness and thickness are determined according to the temperature, and the down jacket cannot be matched with fashion no matter what.

Finally, this is also the wild northwest, many locals have big dogs, chopping firewood in the backyard, repairing houses and so on, they often wear sweaters covered in dog hair and muddy boots and hang around without thinking, you actually feel a little out of place when you dress beautifully.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
