Chapter 1010 Wasteland, City of Steel, Nursing Home
Qingdu became a city of steel.
A war hundreds of years ago destroyed this thousand-year-old capital.
Lin Xue Group rebuilt a brand new city among the ruins.
The city is divided into two levels: upper and lower.
The upper level is a large disk with horizontal and vertical roads divided into industrial areas, residential areas, commercial streets, etc.
As for the lower level, there is no sunshine all year round, and it is distributed in a pie chart from "first area" to "tenth area".
"People at the lower levels have a very hard life."
When Xia Ruxue talked about the two-tier structure, she said it lightly.
To explain again, there is only one sentence.
"Not enough money..."
The spiritual energy is exhausted, the world has been devastated by war, and resources are extremely scarce.
Resources such as oil, metals, coal, and spiritual slag are hard to find.
Because Lin Xue Group controls many farms, it is able to exchange food for many resources while being self-sufficient.
In the wilderness, wild beasts are rampant.
After that, the demon race was completely unable to give birth to spiritual intelligence.
But instead, many "beasts" followed the law of "natural selection and survival of the fittest" and evolved in a completely different direction.
Their bodies are stronger and tougher. They no longer rely on any spiritual energy from heaven and earth and rely on devouring flesh and blood to survive.
Some of them have tough bone armor growing on their body surfaces, some are invulnerable to water and fire, and some can even survive in harsh environments such as low or high temperatures for a long time.
This kind of creature, which has a completely different evolutionary direction from the "monster race", is called a "wild beast" by people of this era.
Although the Monster Hunting Division was disbanded hundreds of years ago, part of their skills in hunting monsters have been passed down.
Artists who have inherited this skill make a living by going out into the wilderness and hunting wild animals.
The meat of wild beasts can be eaten, and the bones, fur and other materials from the wild beasts can be used to make various living utensils.
In the wilderness, scavengers can occasionally find some small "spiritual slag mines". As long as they can bring the slag back to the "city", they can exchange it for high amounts of currency.
Along the way.
Yi Lin listened as Xia Ruxue introduced this "new" world to herself.
He understood something deeply.
No matter which world or era we are in, the human species is a tenacious race.
No matter how bad the conditions are, human beings will find ways to survive.
Yi Lin is just a passerby.
Even if he has not come here, has not come to this world, and has not experienced reincarnation, there will always be some people in this world who stand up from the ruins, evolve in adversity, and survive in despair.
"This is what humans are."
Finally, Yi Lin sighed with emotion.
He said this more than once.
In the past, he always used this sentence to lament the sycophancy and ugliness of human beings.
But this time, he witnessed with his own eyes the tenacity and strength of human beings.
"Yes, human."
Xia Ruxue also has her own emotions, perhaps her emotions are a little different from her senior brother's.
But she has lived for such a long time and has also recognized the spirit of the "human" species.
…
Lin Xue Company is a building with a height of 100 meters.
It is more than thirty stories high.
The area around Lin Xue Company is heavily guarded.
Xia Ruxue puts on sunglasses and instantly transforms into a "cold female CEO".
When she took Yi Lin into the security circle of Lin Xue Group, all the soldiers armed to the teeth nervously saluted Xia Ruxue.
"Hello, President Lin!"
"President Lin is mighty!"
"President Lin is safe!"
If the soldiers hadn't reminded her, Yi Lin would have almost forgotten that Xia Ruxue's current name was "Lin Chuxue".
The cold CEO nodded.
Yi Lin looked at Xia Ruxue walking in the front, and felt a shameful "desire to conquer" in her heart.
Female CEOs always have an aura that is irresistible.
Go to a deserted place.
Xia Ruxue took off her disguise, her pretty face turned slightly red, and stood in front of Yi Lin, twisting her clothes and feeling a little at a loss.
Yi Lin nodded: "No need to explain, senior brother understands."
"Huh..." Xia Ruxue was afraid that her senior brother would dislike her for changing too much. After hearing this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and the smile reappeared on her face: "So, senior brother, do you want to visit your junior sister's company, or do you want to...
…?”
"I want to see them."
"good."
Xia Ruxue hailed a dark luxury car.
The driver is Xuan Ergou.
"Brother Taiyi, Ergou is at your service!"
Xuan Ergou snapped and saluted Yi Lin with a military salute.
"Aren't you a helicopter pilot?"
Yi Lin said suspiciously.
"Brother Taiyi is joking, Ergou is the president's exclusive driver. Whether it's a ship, an aircraft, a car, or an armored combat vehicle, I can drive it!"
Yi Lin gave a thumbs up: "You really deserve to be Brother Gou's son!"
"Dad is always proud of me!"
Xuan Ergou puffed up his chest.
Yi Lin is his idol that he has admired for many years.
Taiyi's deeds are passed down from generation to generation in the mouths of the older generation.
They also know that Taiyi, who mended the sky and saved the world, will one day appear in front of everyone with a brand new appearance.
Finally he got what he had been waiting for.
Yi Lin thought for a moment and understood Xia Ruxue's reason for arranging a dedicated driver.
Xia Ruxue has an ageless appearance and even has to change her identity to be the CEO. This is her secret.
Arranging a trusted confidant to be your driver can save you a lot of trouble.
Yi Lin looked out through the car window and noticed something very interesting.
In the upper-level residential area, there are many residents on the road who do not look like human beings, walking peacefully and comfortably on the road.
They are monsters.
In other words, they have demon blood in them.
Seven hundred years have passed, and except for the one or two generations that survived back then, there are no purebred monsters in the world.
After Taiyi mended the sky, the human race and the demon race truly achieved peaceful coexistence, intermarriage, and childbirth.
With Yi Lin's efforts, they even broke through "reproductive isolation" and gave birth to "mixed-race" offspring.
The whole journey was speechless.
Because Xuan Ergou was sitting in the front, even though Xia Ruxue had many things to say to her senior brother, she was embarrassed, so she just held Yi Lin's arm quietly and never let go from the moment she got in the car.
It seems that he is afraid that once he lets go, his senior brother will die again.
Half an hour later.
The limousine arrived on the other side of the upper disc.
There are many artificial vegetation planted here, which are lush and green, and the green area is impressive.
After getting off the car.
Xuan Ergou scratched his head and looked down at his idol with a little embarrassment: "Brother Taiyi, can I hug you?"
Yi Lin was alert and took two steps back.
"Ah, brother Taiyi, don't get me wrong. I don't mean anything else. I just want to hug my idol. It feels so unreal."
"……OK."
Xuan Ergou hugged Yi Lin hard.
Yi Lin's whole body bones were crackling as she was hugged.
Although it doesn't hurt, it shows that Xuan Ergou's strength is not low, and ordinary people may not be able to withstand it.
"Brother Taiyi, my father often said that it is because of you that our demon clan can usher in hundreds of years of peace. Even in the years when war broke out among the human race, we hid back in Beiju Luzhou and stayed in those facilities.
, we are happy every day.”
"Because we know that we no longer have to worry about being hunted by humans, and the humans around us are also very kind to us."
"Really, brother Taiyi, you are my idol. From now on, if Ergou asks for a wife, if she doesn't like you, Ergou will beat her to death and refuse to marry her!"
Xuan Ergou swore a pledge.
It's just that this promise made between two male creatures always makes Yi Lin feel weird.
"It's just patching up the sky, it's not worth mentioning over and over again."
Yi Lin watched the two dogs drive away eagerly.
Xia Ruxue and Yi Lin held hands and walked along the tree-lined path.
The sun casts a mottled shadow under the shade of the trees, swaying from time to time, accompanied by the breeze, which is refreshing.
“This is a great place to retire.”
Yi Lin sighed as she walked.
"Senior brother, you have a good eye. Look."
Xia Ruxue pointed to the distance with a smile, where there was a courtyard.
The structure of the courtyard is similar to that of a courtyard. The twisted old tree in front of the door has its branches and leaves climbing over the low wall and climbing into the courtyard, forming a refreshing shade.
A hundred meters away, Yi Lin heard noisy sounds and dynamic music playing, which was very festive.
"You stinky old man, are your hands shaking? You can't do it, right?"
"I'm going to let you understand today that my eldest brother is still your eldest brother!"
"Senior brother is mighty!"
"Don't call me senior brother, call me brother!"
"Big brother is mighty!"
"Big brother will always be my big brother!"
"mighty!"
"Awesome!"
"Wait a minute, don't say 'niu' here...ah, Mr. Niu has pushed the handle to burst!"
"Huh, I have to ask the president to reimburse for lost equipment again."
"Brother, no one can break this combo!"
“The hand speed is off the charts!”
"It is estimated that only 'young people' under the age of 100 can fight against Big Brother!"
"It's Mr. Dog's turn!"
Yi Lin and Xia Ruxue approached each other step by step.
Yi Lin raised her head and looked at an eye-catching plaque standing next to the courtyard door.
