Chapter 83: The Upper and Lower Cities Merge, and the City of Meta is back
Just as all the people in Shangcheng were immersed in the shock and despair of the destruction of the spiritual realm, Gu Shun appeared in front of everyone.
On the neon screens in the streets and alleys of Shangcheng, Gu Shun's figure appeared in unison.
After the Spiritual Realm was destroyed, scientists in the lower city used the metaverse server to reconnect to these neon screens and visual systems.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am the discoverer of the source code, and according to the will left by the father of the Spirit Realm, Shi Difen, I will take over the entire M Company and the Spirit World, and become the new master of the Upper City."
On the screen, Gu Shun took out Stitching's suicide note and Company M's permission chip to confirm that this was true.
Immediately after the picture turned, Shi Zhou, who was wearing one-legged glasses and covering his blind eye, appeared.
"I am the president of Company M, the great-grandson of Steven, and I certify that Mr. Gu Shun has completed my great-grandfather's challenge and become the new master of the Spirit World."
Although this paragraph was not long, Shi Zhou seemed to use all his strength to barely finish it. The spiritual realm is ruined, and the eternal life he has pursued all his life is nothing but a complete deception.
The continuous blows completely crushed this old man, and Mr. Shi, who was once lying on the research table in the laboratory, enthusiastically studying prosthetics, could never come back.
All the people of Uptown had to come to terms with the fact that the era of Uptown being ruled by M Company and artificial intelligence was over, and Uptown had changed owners.
Gu Shun continued: "But at the same time, I am also the city lord of the lower city, a citizen of the former Maita City.
I don't know how many people still remember the name Meta City.
At the beginning of its establishment, Meta City was a beacon of the progress of the entire continent and civilization, and a free city-state that countless people yearned for.
It's a pity that for various reasons, we have been divided for two hundred years.
In the past two hundred years, both in the upper and lower cities, we have encountered countless sufferings, hatreds, hatreds, and we have fallen deeper and deeper into the quagmire of mistakes.
But now, we have overcome everything, regained faith and glory, and the King has returned.
Here, I solemnly announce to the world that the Upper and Lower Cities will be merged into one city-state from now on, and that the city of Meta has returned. ”
Gu Shun's impassioned speech not only spread in the upper city, but also transmitted the signal back to the lower city at the same time.
The lower city had become a sea of cheers in an instant.
None of the residents of the Lower City could have imagined that one day, they would be able to witness with their own eyes that the Lower City would conquer the invincible Upper City.
Those arrogant people who have been treating them as rats for hundreds of years have finally been trampled under the feet of rats.
The lord of the castle accomplished the impossible feat, and the lord of the castle deserved to be the god who brought them the sun.
"Long live the city lord, long live Meta City!"
"Long live Meta City!"
……
Unlike the national boiling in the lower city, the reaction of the residents of the upper city at this moment is unusually numb and cold.
Gu Shun knew that most of the people in Shangcheng were in a state of intense withdrawal, and the collapse of the destroyed spiritual realm and the confusion of what to do in the future made them, the otaku and the otaku, have to face this already extremely miserable real world again.
These uptown people, who live in cramped survival pods, but are obsessed with creation, art, and fame, see everything they have and create ruined.
And when you return to reality, it is normal to react to what awaits you with a ruined body and a bleak future.
However, among the millions of uptowners, there are still some uptowners who have long been unwilling to accept the virtual world and cheer excitedly.
Some of them are players who are trapped in the spirit realm and are extremely afraid of the spirit realm, and some are Shangcheng people who have long been tired of the spirit realm, and the arrival of Gu Shun has rekindled their hope.
At the same time as Gu Shun issued the announcement, the army of Xiacheng entered the city-state without hindrance.
It is a great irony that the vast city-state, with the exception of AI-controlled security systems and mechanical samurai, has no soldiers who can take up arms to fight.
Gu Yu
All the soldiers of the lower city saw this city for the first time, which they once longed for and longed for.
Although compared to the lower town, which is still under construction, the buildings of the upper city are grander and more developed on the outside.
But in their eyes, Shangcheng is no longer a candy covered in gold, a holy place that everyone yearns for.
Xiacheng with Gu Shun is countless times better than Shangcheng, and under the leadership of the city lord, Xiacheng will surpass Shangcheng sooner or later and become the most developed city-state in the entire continent, because they have seized the future.
The Lower City Army quickly took control of all important facilities in the Upper City, blocking all mechanical samurai, drones, and robots.
Immediately afterwards, under Gu Shun's arrangement, the soldiers began to carry out house-to-house investigation and treatment of the residents of Shangcheng.
Looking at these shriveled and emaciated Shangcheng people in front of them, soaked in the medicine solution of the life support cabin, some of them have even lost all their ability to move except for their brains and thinking.
Every soldier in the lower city who saw this scene felt that his scalp was numb and shocking.
These situations were immediately reported to Gu Shun.
He had already expected the situation in Shangcheng, but seeing the figures reported by his subordinates, the situation in Shangcheng was even worse and more difficult than he expected.
At this moment, Gu Shun had already taken the car and returned to the City Lord's Mansion in Xiacheng, preparing to start dealing with the merger of Shangcheng and Shangcheng's future planning.
When Qiao Hongyu heard that Gu Shun was back, she waited outside the City Lord's Mansion early.
Seeing Gu Shun getting off a flying car, she hurriedly greeted him.
"City Lord, you succeeded, welcome back." Qiao Hongyu hadn't seen her for a few days, like every three autumns, and hugged Gu Shun tightly.
Suddenly, she reacted, and now she was still in front of the public, and hurriedly let go of him. It makes sense to pretend to be a courtesy hug.
Gu Shun nodded, "I'm back, I've worked hard for you in the past few months." But then, there will be more work, and I don't know if you can afford it. ”
Qiao Hongyu was resolute, and the domineering spirit that had once been the leader of the Black Tiger Gang was suddenly released, "No problem, being able to share the work for the city lord is the unshirkable responsibility of me, the deputy city lord." ”
Gu Shun immediately walked into the City Lord's Mansion and began to arrange a series of tasks and tasks.
On the same day, the temporary management office of Meta City in Shangcheng was announced, and it immediately began to deal with the rehabilitation and medical treatment of the residents of Shangcheng and the restoration of order.
A large number of medical personnel have been transferred from the lower city to the upper city to provide rehabilitation and psychological desensitization services for the residents of the upper city, and for the completely paralyzed people in the upper city, all of them are supported by the newly established relief center.
The border checkpoints around the upper city were dismantled simultaneously, and the upper city ushered in the opening of the same city as the lower city.
Countless residents and merchants from various city-states who had been dreaming of the Upper City for a long time gathered in the Upper City and were shocked by the cityscape and advanced technology of the Upper City.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Shun did a big thing, he carried out a large-scale exchange of immigrants between the upper and lower cities, hoping to break the estrangement and hatred between the two cities and achieve integration.
This policy attracted a lot of controversy at first, but since it was arranged by the city lord, the residents of the lower city expressed their support.
A large number of people from the lower city moved to the upper city to start a new life, which also led to the reconstruction of the upper city.
The migration of the population from the upper city to the lower city was not smooth at first, but with strong propaganda and incentives, a small number of people from the upper city came to the newly established lower city with great trepidation.
They were immediately struck by the new bustling streets and the upbeat atmosphere of the lower town.
It turned out that the lower city was not as unbearable as they remembered, and in some respects, it was even better than the upper city.
Gradually, more and more people in Shangcheng got to know and even went to Xiacheng in various ways, and the people-to-people exchanges between Shangcheng and Shangcheng, which had been interrupted for more than 100 years, resumed again.
In addition to people-to-people exchanges, under Gu Shun's planning, the two cities with very different developments have formed a coupling of location advantages.
The Lower City quickly absorbed the technology and experience accumulated over the centuries of the Upper City, and the technology took off even further.
Uptown is also becoming more open and tolerant as more and more Downtown people move in, embracing a new way of life.
The city-state, which once terrified the world, finally opened its eyes after two hundred years of sleep.
