The base city under the night exudes a hazy beauty.
Compared with the city before the disaster, the entire [Hailong] appears to be more prosperous and taller.
There are many high-rise buildings everywhere, and suspended rails are criss-crossing high in the sky.
One by one, the hovercars shuttled throughout the base city.
In just a dozen years since the catastrophe, the earth's technological civilization has, to a certain extent, become more advanced than before for countless generations!
Intelligent robots; magnetic levitation technology; biological gene editing technology, etc., can be seen everywhere throughout the city.
Many old people who were born before the disaster look at their current life like the future world they longed for in previous movies.
Sometimes when I have some free time, I always sigh, the world... has changed.
Not only the advancement of science and technology, but also the horror of the deserted urban areas outside, give people a sense of time and space confusion, as if they are in another world.
"You young people of the new generation don't know where in the city in the past, there were maglev cars? Ferocious beasts and phantom pets?"
In the dark barbecue restaurant, the forty-year-old boss was holding a cigarette.
Each hand holds a small shovel and shovels the golden roasted meat on the baking sheet.
Occasionally, I freed my hand and reached out to pick something from the spice rack on the side.
Open a bottle of spices, pour some pepper and cumin spices and sprinkle them on the greasy steaks grilled on the grill.
The meeting of spices and meat steak, and the licking of flames under the grill, exudes an alluring aroma.
"It seems that you, boss, are also a person with stories! Tell us about what the world was like before the disaster!"
Chen You was chewing a piece of barbecue in his mouth and looking at the boss who was busy working on the baking board next to him.
He couldn't help but become interested and said softly.
Beside him, Chu Yunniu, Dali, Song Mu and others were enjoying the barbecue on the table in front of them.
The students participating in the Trial Survival Competition were given a three-day holiday.
Thinking that they would finally have a vacation, they discussed with each other and decided to go out and have a good day of shopping.
Relax your nerves from the past month.
They are still quite curious about the world before the disaster mentioned by their boss.
Only Chu Yun looked unconcerned, taking small bites of the barbecue steak in front of him.
"Let me tell you something? Hey, to put it bluntly, there is nothing, not even anything worth discussing."
When the boss in his forties heard the question from the fat boy in front of him, he laughed at himself, let out a laugh, shook his head and said.
"In the world before the disaster, apart from our territory in China, the outside world was actually not peaceful either. Countries were fighting there every day.
Oh, by the way, you may not understand the country..."
The boss is preparing to popularize the concept of the word country.
Unexpectedly, Song Mu interrupted him directly, "Boss, we know what the country refers to."
"oh?"
The boss was startled, and then he laughed.
"I'm old-fashioned."
"Boss, we all know this, tell us something we don't know!"
Shen You pulled off a strip of barbecue and muttered: "The meat of wild boar is really delicious when roasted!"
As if hearing his muttering, the boss said proudly: "I don't even know who the barbecue master is!"
"Yes, yes, the boss's craftsmanship is excellent!"
Shen You and others complimented him there, satisfying the boss's vanity.
"Ahem, since you all said so, I will reluctantly tell you."
The boss coughed twice before speaking leisurely.
"Before the disaster, although technology was not as powerful as it is now, everything was convenient, and some hard work was replaced by robots.
But at that time, we could at least move around.
You can go wherever you want, by car, boat, or plane, as long as you have money, you can go anywhere on earth!”
Having said this, the boss suddenly shook his head in depression:
"It's not like now. Without strong strength, we can only stay in this small base city. Alas! Now we are like rats in a rat cage, never seeing the light of day..."
Shen You and others looked at each other, but they didn't expect that what they had been waiting for for a long time was the boss's words.
"Boss, you are too pessimistic!"
Niu Dali disagreed with the boss's words, and frowned and said:
"We have seventy-two base cities around the world. No matter what, we are getting stronger and stronger now. The ferocious beasts and aliens will be driven out of this planet by us sooner or later!"
The owner of the barbecue restaurant glanced at Niu Dali with a low smile, "It's great to be young!"
He turned his hands over, and a piece of roasted meat that was golden brown and dripping with grease was skillfully moved in his hands.
It was delivered to the food plate in front of Niu Dali without any splash of oil.
"Eat more! The ferocious beast meat will replenish your body! This time the ferocious beast attacks the city, there is not much else, but there is enough ferocious beast meat!"
"Have you got enough meat from the ferocious beasts? Are there many wild boar among the ferocious beasts besieging the city this time? Boss."
"When I went to buy the goods, I heard that there were thousands of them, right?" The owner of the barbecue restaurant thought for a while and said:
"Fortunately, Lao Zhang, I have a lot of connections and got some wild boar! Otherwise, you really wouldn't be able to eat such chewy barbecue today!"
"Uncle Zhang! Are you going to treat us to this meal?"
Song Mu looked at the barbecue restaurant owner with a smile. This was the place she recommended when the team went out to look for food.
Although the place is not big, the barbecue skills are really good!
Just by looking at how many people don’t listen, you can tell that the owner of the barbecue restaurant has a lot of skills!
"Ahem, Uncle Zhang will give you a discount!"
"Tch, stingy!"
Song Mu rolled her eyes there, "Thankfully, I still want to say a few nice words to Aunt Li for you!"
"Have you eaten enough, little Song Mu? Uncle Zhang invites you to eat today! Open it up and eat!"
Zhang Yi's eyes lit up, and he grilled another golden strip of meat for Song Mu with a duty-bound expression!
"Uncle Zhang, it's us!"
Song Mu, the thief spirit, directly slid his hand towards the other companions around him.
"..." Zhang Yi's slightly wrinkled face twitched, and he nodded with a look of distress.
"Well, Uncle Zhang understands! Uncle Zhang will treat everyone to a meal today!"
"Yeah~ Uncle Zhang is so nice! Thank you, Uncle Zhang!"
Song Mu laughed happily there, turned around and looked at her companions who were all stunned by her operation with a proud look on her face.
"Little Song Mu, don't forget to help Uncle Zhang say a few more good words in front of your Aunt Li!"
Zhang Yi stretched out his head in front of Song Mu and looked at her expectantly.
"That's necessary! Uncle Zhang, don't worry, Aunt Li and I are the best! I will definitely help you say good things in front of Aunt Li!"
Song Mu said nothing, patting his chest as a promise.
"That's good, that's good!"
Zhang Yi laughed when he heard this, and the wrinkles on his face softened a little.
