Five minutes later, Su Ming got on the bus to the Investigation Bureau, and when he passed by the Dongyang Island Commercial Center, Su Ming was stunned by the scene in front of him.

In Su Ming's imagination, science and technology in this world are stagnant, productivity is stagnant, and human living standards are not advancing but regressing because of strange existence.

But the magnificence of the commercial street that is now displayed in front of Su Ming, as well as the dress of these pedestrians, all prove that the living standards of the locals are very good.

The bus passed by the road near the business district, and looking out of the window from where Su Ming was sitting, he could see a huge central square, and in the middle of the square there was a huge elevator tower, which went up vertically, and set up straight and slender corridors in all directions along the way, like huge trees spreading out their branches.

The corridor is erected in the air and connected to the surrounding buildings, and people who enter the plaza can take the elevator as the center to go to various areas of the business district.

The buildings surrounding the square are of different forms, which are very artistic, showing an ultra-modern artistic sense.

On the surface of the strange-looking department store, huge electronic screens play advertisements in a loop, and a variety of goods are placed in the street windows.

Passers-by on the sidewalk are talking and laughing, as if they live in a stable and harmonious society, as if they are completely free from strange disturbances and invasions...... The scene in front of Su Ming was full of unreality, but this was the reality.

"Why? Didn't you say that technology has stopped? Su Ming asked.

"It's true that there is no development, that's what the book says, what's wrong? Is there a problem? ”

"It's so prosperous, even more prosperous than the world I'm in! Maybe before the Great Collapse, the technology of this world was very high. Su Ming said.

Xia Xiaoyu touched her chin and thought for a while, took out her mobile phone, and asked, "Did you use this kind of mobile phone before you crossed?" ”

"It's exactly the same."

"And where to live?"

"It's pretty much the same, but this place is so much more prosperous than the city I was in before I crossed! I've only seen such a fancy building in a movie! Su Ming pointed to the twisted commercial building not far away and said.

Xia Xiaoyu: "What you said has nothing to do with the development of science and technology, although the technology has not progressed since the collapse, the overall productivity of human beings has been showing a trend of soaring growth, such as food problems and manpower problems, all of which have been solved because of the emergence of special abilities."

Except for the early days of the Great Collapse, human beings have been very miserable, and since then, the standard of living of human beings has been improving rapidly, of course...... This is overall.

Although the standard of living of the inhabitants of some islands is poor, if you look at it on a global scale, the material life of human beings has increased several times compared to before the Great Collapse.

It can be said that if there is no weirdness, then the world will enter a new era, and the ability will become an irreplaceable new energy, all the rules will be broken, and human beings will rule everything. ”

"I see! It's a productivity gap, no wonder! Su Ming suddenly realized.

"The hotel I stayed in is too bad compared to here!" Su Ming said.

"After all, this was still an island with the supremacy of ability before, and it was just liberated by the alliance not long ago, and the island development area is not large, this is the first area to be urbanized, and the address of the Seventh Bureau of Investigation is nearby." Xia Xiaoyu said casually.

The bus passed through the commercial area and came to the residential area.

At this time, Su Ming saw a completely different scenery from just now, and the buildings next to him became very short...... No, it can't even be called a building, and Su Ming can't tell what it is.

It was a cylinder with a diameter of five meters and a height of about three meters, neatly arranged on the ground at certain intervals, and when viewed from a high place, it looked like a huge oil tank closely arranged.

Mankind...... You can't just live in a bungalow like this, do you?

How many people can live in these cylinders? I'm afraid there are less than a thousand people in such a large area.

Today, with the explosion of productivity, can't even high-rise buildings be built? But it is clear that the commercial area was full of high-rise buildings before.

"Building a house like this is too wasteful of land resources, so why not build a high-rise building?" Su Ming wondered.

"The frequency of weirdness is very high, and once a lot of weirdness appears, it will cause extremely huge damage to the surrounding environment, and if you build too high a floor, the collapse of the building will cause terrible secondary damage, so now all the residential areas are buried underground." Xia Xiaoyu explained on the side.

As she spoke, she pointed to the cylinders outside.

"Did you see those cylinders? They are all numbered by units, and each unit is generally 30 floors underneath, and about 30 people can live on each floor.

In other words, the standard number of people that can be accommodated in one unit is nine hundred.

And the area you see now should have 100 units, which is 90,000 people.

There are many residential areas like this, and there are many more on Dongyang Island. ”

"Then they can't get in the sun, and their bodies will be unhealthy, right?"

"There's simulated daylight."

"That's amazing!" Su Ming exclaimed.

"Do you think it's amazing?"

Xia Xiaoyu looked at Su Ming fixedly, and began to wonder what the world Su Ming lived in before was like.

"Well, we couldn't have built a thirty-story underground apartment back then, which is really exaggerated!"

"Then in the future, you will definitely encounter even more exaggerated things." Xia Xiaoyu smiled and muttered.

————————————

Su Ming and Xia Xiaoyu got off the bus across the street from the Seventh Bureau of Investigation, and Su Ming looked up at the Seventh Bureau of Investigation in front of him.

The architectural appearance of the Investigation Bureau is very simple, there is almost no superfluous decoration, but the overall shape is very oppressive, the building is large and small, in the form of an inverted tetrahedron, standing at the door and looking up, it feels like a crumbling cliff on the slope, which may fall down at any time, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

There is a very empty square in front of the main building, and a horizontal stone tablet is placed in the middle, on which is engraved "Paranormal Investigation Seventh Bureau".

Judging by the length of the outer fence, the Bureau of Investigation occupies a large area

Su Ming estimated that the actual space of the Seventh Bureau of Investigation was much larger than what he saw now, and it was likely that there were thirty floors hidden underground.

As for the three floors on the ground, they should be to support the scene, they are the maintainers of order on Dongyang Island, so they naturally have to maintain their majesty.

Su Ming ran into Sylvie when he entered the door, and the other party seemed to be waiting for him here for a long time.

"It's coming sooner than I thought, come with me, I'll take you to register."

Su Ming walked with the other party all the way, looking all the way, while Xia Xiaoyu, who was following him, explained carefully as a tour guide.

"The Seventh Investigation Bureau is currently the investigation bureau with the largest number of personnel among the five investigation bureaus on Dongyang Island, and it is also the investigation bureau with the strongest actual dominance, while the Japanese Investigation Bureau is the investigation bureau second only to the Investigation Bureau No. 7 in the local area."

"Wait a minute!" Su Ming interrupted, "Didn't you say before that there was no concept of a country anymore?" Why do they have that prefix? ”
