267 Arriving in Yuan City (1)
Hearing Tong Qingqing’s chatter, Ning Shi did not refute her. There was no need to cruelly break the fantasy of a little girl.
Happiness was contagious.
This was especially true for adults who had heavy burdens on their minds. When they met innocent children, they were easily infected by their happiness.
Ning Shi also laughed along with Tong Qingqing. It was originally an hour’s drive, but it took them almost three hours to reach their destination.
It was a huge abyss and looked as if someone had used a knife to cut a huge wound on the ground.
The width of the abyss was about 100 meters. Standing on one side of the gully and looking down, one could vaguely see that there were lights flashing deep underground.
“This is one of the places where we savages live, Yuan City,” Tong introduced softly.
After saying this, Tong Qingqing walked to a row of low houses on the plain. After Ning Shi followed her in, he found that these houses were the entrances and exits of elevators.
Before Ning Shi entered the house, an electronic eye scanned his body. It probably roughly verified his identity as a savage.
After a while, the elevator reached the ground. Ning Shi and Tong Qingqing took the elevator and sank down.
The elevator descended very quickly. Even with Ning Shi’s physique, he felt a slight sense of weightlessness.
After about three minutes, the elevator stopped.
Tong Qingqing gently held Ning Shi’s hand and walked out of the elevator.
“Yuan City has a total of 7 floors, each floor is 20 meters high. We are currently on the first floor, about 1100 meters underground.
“The main body of Yuan City evolved from the City of Origin. During the explosion, the planet’s crust shook and the entire City of Origin sank. Some areas were lucky enough to be preserved.
“When the savages were driven away by the Norse Republic, a group of people were lucky enough to discover this place. They slowly developed the foundation of the sinking buildings in Origin City.
“It took more than a hundred years for Yuan City to reach its current size.
“By now, the permanent population of Yuan City has reached more than 500,000.”
Ning Shi knew about the City of Origin. It was the most prosperous city on the origin planet before the big explosion. It was the capital city of the humans on the origin planet.
According to historical records, after the great explosion, the huge explosion caused the planet’s crust to shift. The land plate where the City of Origin was located sank collectively, and the incomparably prosperous City of Origin disappeared from the planet overnight.
He did not expect that some areas could remain basically intact during the sinking process.
Ning Shi followed Tong Qingqing and strolled around Yuan City.
He realized that there were many neon lights there.
Perhaps it was because they were underground and couldn’t see the sunlight, so whether it was the shops or the houses, they were always flashing with lights of various colors.
There were not many intact people walking on the road.
Mechanical arms, electronic eyes, spiderweb hair, everywhere were modified humans who had undergone body modifications.
People like Ning Shi, whose limbs were completely human, walked on the streets of Yuan City and belonged to an unusual species.
Other than the modified humans, Yuan City had a lot of machinery. Robots, mechanical dogs, helium-powered motorcycles, and helium-powered flying motorcycles could be seen everywhere on the streets.
Ning Shi was currently on the east side of the abyss, also known as the Dongcheng Area. On the other side of the 100 meters was the Xicheng Area of Yuan City.
Standing on the street, one could see a large number of flying motorcycles flying between the east and west sides.
For a moment, Ning Shi almost thought that he had transmigrated to the world of cyberpunk.
Tong Qingqing gently pulled Ning Shi’s hand and brought him to a restaurant. She said excitedly, “Ning, this restaurant is my favorite. Their spicy beef hooves are very delicious!
“Let’s go, I’ll treat you to a meal!”
When Ning Shi walked into the restaurant, a wave of heat hit his face. The fragrance of food mixed with the smell of alcohol floated into Ning Shi’s nose.
Ning Shi’s saliva unconsciously flowed out.
The restaurant was very lively, and every table was full.
The waiter was a bald uncle. His left arm was a silver mechanical prosthetic leg, and his left ear had been modified. The most terrifying thing was his eyes. Both of his eyes were electronic.
It was flickering with a strange red light.
The bald uncle obviously knew Tong Qingqing. He first scanned Ning Shi with his electronic eyes, then revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. He said to Tong Qingqing, “Tong Tong, go to the balcony on the second floor. I’ll set up another table for you later. Are you ordering the same three dishes this time?”
“That’s right, Uncle Luo. Give me the same three dishes!” Tong Qingqing gritted her teeth and said, “Double the amount! Give me two servings of each dish!”
“No problem!” The bald man laughed. “Looks like you’re going to run out of pocket money!”
Ning Shi noticed Tong Qingqing’s pained expression. Obviously, the food here was not cheap.
He was not in a hurry to express his gratitude. Instead, he quietly followed Tong Qingqing to the second floor. Along the way, he saw two men fighting over alcohol.
One of them lost and vomited all over the floor. He shouted under the pretext of being drunk, “Just you wait. I’ll get a more powerful mechanical stomach tomorrow!”
The victor said proudly, “You don’t have a chance anymore, Krone. There’s only one of the latest stomach sacs left in Yuan City, and it’s in my stomach now!
“If you want to change it, you have to wait until the new product is available next month!
“Haha, you still can’t beat me in the end. Elaine is mine!”
Seeing that someone had vomited, the surrounding crowd did not mind. Instead, they cheered. Some people even used the scene of the two people fighting to go with the wine. The atmosphere in the restaurant was extremely lively.
Ning Shi looked at the bold and unrestrained actions of the customers and felt a burning passion.
