"Next stop, Shuguang City Train Station!"
Accompanied by the prompts on the broadcast, the destination finally arrived. Zhu Jue turned off his phone, got up and prepared to wait at the door.
As soon as I looked up, I saw a "Western denim" wearing a wild brown jacket and a double gun hanging around my waist. I leaned against the vertical pole inside the subway. The brim of the denim hat was pressed very low, and I could only see the Bluetooth headset on the right ear that was leaking outside.
This cowboy is quite trendy.
The other party seemed to have noticed Zhu Jue's gaze, looked up at the cowboy hat, looked back with a faint look, glanced at Zhu Jue, and quickly took it back.
There are several people dressed in the western world next to him, including a "cowgirl". These people are obviously from the same team. Naturally, the unified clothing is not for COSPLAY, but a rather straightforward way to show their identity.
Zhu Jue looked away and soon found that there were no ordinary citizens left on the train at this time. Most of them were as tough as the cowboys in front of him. You could tell at a glance that they were fighting personnel. In the other carriage on the left, you could see an armed soldier team and a few people wearing monster countermeasures badges.
Judging from their behavior of starting to sort out their clothes, these people should all get off at the Shuguang City Train Station.
Sure enough, when the subway door opened, the people set off one after another.
Zhu Jue is considered an alien in this group of people, because he has neither a backpack nor a suitcase, but he just holds a San Sun and Moon Tai Knife wrapped in a cloth bag in his hand, and the plasma gun is inserted around his waist and is blocked by his clothes.
He stepped out of the car door and subconsciously began to look for the surrounding stairs, but in the end he froze the woman out of the carriage on the right.
She was wearing a long black windbreaker lined with a thin white shirt, slender legs, and a pair of leather boots without exterior decoration. The armed soldiers and personnel from the strange bureau I saw in the carriage were surrounded by her and several people who were somewhat similar to her outfit.
Even so, she is still the most prominent one, not only her appearance, but also her cold temperament that has not changed much after five years.
"I didn't expect to meet here..."
Five years of freezing may be a long time for people who live normally, but for Zhu Jue it is just a moment. The memories of the past have not faded with this elapsed time, so he can still easily recognize people from five years ago, even though the latter's appearance has changed a little bit compared to five years ago, or it has become more mature.
Zhu Jue did not choose to go up and say hello. A large number of government personnel gathered around him. In order to be able to board the fortress train, he is now appearing as Ivanka. He can't change his face in front of so many people around him.
What's more, he is now a dead person, and even his citizenship certificate has been cancelled. From a certain perspective, he has been freed from the attention of the federal government and some special forces.
Now that the weird studio is gone, there is no need for me to take the initiative to enter their vision...
"Let's talk about it when there's a better chance later."
Thinking of this in my heart, Zhu Jue decisively chose a different staircase from the other party and went up directly to the bottom floor of the station.
The predecessor of Shuguang City Train Station was the high-speed train station of the city five years ago. A considerable number of internal facilities and equipment still retained their original state, but there was a cliff-like decline in both passenger flow and merchants resident in the station.
The reason is very simple. With the emergence of large areas of dangerous areas between cities, traveling to a certain extent is something that only those with a higher standard of living in society can enjoy. After finally entering a super first-tier city, ordinary people naturally cannot go out to cause trouble for their own lives.
In most places like Dawn City, only people spend money to board the fort train from various cities to seek shelter, and few people in the city go out.
However, just when Zhu Jue passed the previous observations, he was naturally thinking that the train station was probably bleak and that the people riding the train were only two or three kittens, when he took the escalator into the waiting hall, the scene in front of him was still shocked.
There were a group of three or five gathering together and discussing something on an electronic map...
There were mechanics who squat nearby to check the status of the small auxiliary robot, and from time to time there were also mechanics who were squatting nearby.
More people gathered together to talk big, and when it came to the rise, they were still very unethical and stood on the garbage bins that had been abandoned long ago. They threw their cheeks away and made a rude blowing.
As for the stations, supermarkets, and catering shops that Zhu Jue thought should be closed, they have indeed disappeared. However, special shops such as weapon stores, prosthetic parts stores, etc. have replaced their locations, and the flow of people around the door seems to be quite popular.
Zhu Jue scanned the situation in front of him. Judging from the dress of the people in front of him, it was just like the situation on the subway train before. There were basically few ordinary people, and they were almost all a new profession that has emerged in the past two years - the gold digger.
Gold Rush!
The original meaning of this noun refers to the gold rush caused by the discovery of gold mines with extremely large reserves during the U.S. Movement Westward. In today's era, this noun has been mentioned again.
Due to population migration in recent years, a considerable number of second-tier or third-tier cities in Dongzhou have dropped sharply, and even reached a situation where one is not ten, which has caused an inevitable situation - urban degradation.
The migration of the people leads to the transfer of the local government. After all, even the people are gone, so the government naturally has no meaning of existence. But don’t forget that the people can leave, but the city can’t leave!
At most, the migration of population will take away some wealth, and some larger things will not be transferred at all, especially those cities that were on the front line of the crisis that year, and the people cannot even retreat in an orderly manner.
Therefore, these abandoned cities have become gold mines in another sense in the eyes of these gold diggers!
The parts disassembled from the abandoned intelligent robots, chips, circuit boards and other items of certain high-tech products, even regular stores in Shuguang City are welcomed, let alone the market conditions in the black market.
If you are lucky and find a rich mansion that you don’t have time to retreat, the “treasure” inside can even make a civilian at the bottom of Dawn City become a middle-level figure overnight and live an extremely happy life in the eyes of others.
Even in the first two years, as long as you are not so lucky that you will hit a monster and die on the spot. If you go out for a walk outside, there will be few people who will not make money. The only difference is how much you make.
That's how the craze is caused.
Never doubt humanity’s pursuit of wealth.
How to relieve worries? Only by getting rich!
From this point of view, the grand occasion Zhu Jue is seeing is not that difficult to understand. With the development of the gold rush, the corresponding market rise is not a strange thing.
Of course, this kind of gold hunting will not last long, after all, the resources in those cities will always be emptied.
"I hope Yecheng has not been affected by the gold rush..."
Zhu Jue looked at the information on his phone and pursed his lips. His things were all in his own safe, so it would be fine if anything else. Those bags of gems and the book of De Chian could not be taken away by others.
In fact, he doesn't have to worry about this for the time being. The A-level dangerous zone is not that easy to enter. The mortality rate of nearly 90% of gold diggers is not a joke. Most of the remaining 10% are still those who turn around and run away when they see the situation is wrong when they arrive.
Because the waiting hall was too dense, Zhu Jue chose to stay in the corridor next to him.
As the train departed, a crew from the station was walking here not far away. There were not only normal train staff and the armed forces mentioned online, but also acquaintances who had seen in the subway station before were among them.
When these people entered the platform, the ticket checking machine began to operate soon, and everyone began to rush to the platform.
Looking at those guys carrying various weapons and equipment, Zhu Jue was not in a hurry. He waited until everyone passed by before slowly walking down the platform through the ticket checking machine.
Compared to any fortress train that Zhu Jue had seen, which had to be on two or three laps, it had already stopped on the track. Even Zhu Jue was amazed at first sight.
The thick steel shell almost wrapped the entire train. The scratches on it and other strange traces proved that the journey was probably not as easy as imagined. The tall mechanical impact corners of the train at the front and tail were stained with a lot of dark red blood stains. At this time, there were still several floating cleaning robots performing the final cleaning before leaving.
There are several fully automatic machine gun platforms hanging on each carriage. The dark, cold and hard cluster barrel is rotating on all sides at this time, as if adjusting the angle. In fact, many times they deliberately swept over the waiting crowd on the platform and made a clicking sound when they were on the bullet, which caused many people to subconsciously retreat to the side, for fear of being torn into pieces by a metal storm that might suddenly appear.
There is obviously a warning in this. You should know that almost all the passengers who boarded the bus are fully armed. If there is not enough force to deter the situation, it is difficult to prevent chaos.
But what surprised Zhu Jue was that the interior of this fortress train, which looked extremely rough, was quite humane, and the seat distribution was all box-style. Although there were no doors, there were opaque glass baffles in the front and back to block them.
Zhujue, who was picking snacks out from the vending machine on one side of the carriage, looked at the carriage that was gradually becoming lively because of the passengers' seats.
I was thinking about the partitions secretly because I was worried that these fully armed guys would have a special design for each other such situations as "Who are you looking at?" and "What are you looking at?"
