The Qinggang City in Sumo's memory was still vivid in his mind when he first saw it.

The city is full of abandoned high-rise buildings, with their facades peeling off, exposing the mottled cement underneath.

In the western suburbs, which was originally a wealthy area, many buildings have completely collapsed, leaving only piles of rubble and steel bars, like scars carved by humans on the earth, which is shocking.

The streets are even more dilapidated. The roads have long lost their original appearance. Cracks are crisscrossed. From time to time, there will be several large pits seven or eight meters deep, revealing the broken pipes buried underneath. Whenever it rains, they will immediately gather into a huge hole.

The puddle reflects the gray sky and surrounding ruins.

Crossing the bridge to go to the Fifth Ring Road, in the once bustling commercial street, although there are still a few shop fronts that can still be discerned, the glass on the door has long been broken, leaving only holes.

As for public facilities, not to mention urban greening, they have long been abandoned due to lack of maintenance.

Large areas of weeds, vines and various spore plants have invaded urban space, as if nature is slowly reclaiming this land abandoned by humans.

Su Mo still clearly remembered Qinggang City at night. Not to mention outsiders walking around, even the gopher guys living underground did not dare to come out and move around.

Even the most courageous wanderer needs to return to his residence as soon as possible before the sun sets.

Because at night, the world is dominated by radiation beasts.

The crazy radiation beast will attack any living creature that appears in the field of vision without stopping.

If development continues according to the normal timeline, Qingang City in the world of faith will be the destination of this abandoned city.

However, time passed and when he saw this abandoned city again, Sumo couldn't believe his eyes.

Looking ahead from the heights of the western suburbs, the high-rise buildings in the city stand like giants. Each one is closely connected and independent. Against the double backdrop of neon lights and night, they outline a gleaming edge.

Among the scattered buildings, there are both new buildings that have been completely torn down and rebuilt, and old buildings that have been preserved and rebuilt. The two coexist harmoniously, one new and one old, one high and one short, embellishing the entire Qinggang City.

It is like a scene in a cyberpunk movie, which is both real and transcendent from reality, making people feel like they are in a game where technology and fantasy are intertwined.

"Wait. What the hell is that a train?"

Sumo's eyes suddenly widened, and his mouth felt dry for a while.

The original urban third-ring elevated highway was renovated and repaired and turned into a public urban rail line.

It was already one o'clock in the night, and there was still a city train passing between the city buildings like a silver dragon, with a speed of at least ninety kilometers per hour according to visual inspection.

On the road under the elevated road, variously painted high-performance vehicles also shuttled non-stop. The Tianyuan Lotus logo flashing slightly behind the vehicles lit up together every time, giving people a strange illusion that the city was breathing.

"Yes, what you are seeing is Tianyuan City Railway Line 3. It has been put into use for four months. The daily transportation volume can be guaranteed to be between 300,000 and 450,000 people. When encountering festivals,

During the holidays, the number of shipments will increase to about two million, which is currently an important currency recovery tool for the territory."

The introduction voice of No. 0 sounded in time, and after a pause of two or three seconds, he continued, "According to the real-time road network conditions I checked, the number of active vehicles currently active in Qinggang City is 52,575, including 11,255 private cars.

, 30,710 operating vehicles, and 10,610 trucks and special vehicles.”

"Oh My God"

Sumo couldn't help but marvel, and instantly felt that his imagination was somewhat lacking.

Even if he had been to the Jushan Star Territory and seen the world of gods outside the territory, he would not be as shocked as he is now.

You must know that even without traveling to the former Chinese Imperial Capital, it would be impossible for the number of operating vehicles to reach this number at night.

"Send them a message telling them that I have something to do and will be here later."

Originally, Sumo planned to fly the airship directly to the bar, but now he changed his mind.

This Qinggang City is one of the most prosperous cities he has seen since arriving in the wasteland.

Even the Tianyuan City in the future ruins is much inferior to this Qinggang City and has not developed to such a scale.

"Okay, the message has been sent."

When Zero's reply sounded, Sumo had already pressed the airship button and landed in the unmanned parking lot in the western suburbs.

It wasn't until I stepped on the hardened concrete pavement and looked up at the glowing high-rise buildings that the unreal feeling hidden deep inside finally disappeared.

City.

This is the city of mankind!

Entering the modern civilized city again, Somo stayed where he was and couldn't let go for a long time.

Unlike those cities in the future ruins, there is always a strange cognition repeating in my mind over and over again. This place is fake. This place is simulated by the game, not developed step by step.

The Qinggang City at your feet finally gave Somo a special down-to-earth feeling.

This place will never disappear again, nor will it be threatened by natural disasters again.

It will only become the cradle of civilization on earth as mankind wins its second gambling victory.

"This is my city!"

Sumo let out a breath, and the heroism in his heart almost overflowed.

Leaving the parking lot and arriving at the main road in the western suburbs, there are shops on both sides of the street with signs of different styles, a dazzling array of things to see.

'Black Star Military Supplies Store', 'Red Light Contact', 'Youlan Energy Station', 'Zhongyuan Pharmacy', 'Smart Green Planting House', 'Data Oasis', 'Silver Wings Express', 'Neon

Tailor Shop'.

Sumo walked by step by step, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes as he read the signboard.

In terms of location construction, this was definitely the first place to develop in Qinggang City, but he did not see any officially established shops. They were all shops set up by residents themselves.

This can already illustrate from the side that the current economic development of Qinggang City is definitely far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Further along this main road, food stalls began to appear in the alleys on both sides.

BBQ, pancakes, burgers, juice, milk tea, ramen.

Many stalls were filled with people, and queues stretched for ten or twenty meters. The various aromas were mixed together, making people's noses twitch.

"Hey, isn't this an old horse? He already has a bunch of apprentices?"

Seeing a ramen juice stall from a distance, Sumo paused and walked over with a smile.

Goodbye, young man with full bow, not afraid of time and wind!

When the food court of Hope Village was first established two years ago, Ma Haoge was already the number one in the square, with an endless flow of customers every day.

Now two years have passed, and the original stall has expanded to half the street. There are four large pots for cooking soup. Under the four large pots, there are more than ten apprentices and more than thirty tables.

There were hundreds of people queuing up to eat noodles. Ma Haoge sat behind his apprentice, crossing his legs and scrolling through his phone.

A copy of "Urban Soldier King in the Wasteland" is displayed on the screen, which is a hot topic in Qinggang City recently.

The novel tells the story of an all-powerful urban soldier king who traveled to the wasteland to begin with, sparking lightning along the way, and challenging natural disasters in various ways that ordinary people could not imagine, until he was defeated.

At present, only 800,000 mobile phones have been sold, but the number of replacements has reached a terrifying 150,000.

Almost as soon as it is updated, there will be thousands of comments below.

Yes, cell phones have found a new lease of life in the wasteland.

Although the parameters and performance are far less explosive than modern ones, and the supporting software services have just begun.

But as the saying goes, meeting again after a long absence can indeed make people overlook many small details.

"You little potato, you only updated 20,000 words today, even cows and horses dare not rest like you!"

I just saw the urban soldier king preparing to sneak attack on the Jinglong tribe, one of the five royal families, and I was getting excited, but I didn't expect that the author Xiaodudou suddenly stopped the update here.

Ma Haoge scratched his head anxiously, poked his phone several times with his fingers, and paid a heavy reward.

There are one hundred coppers, which is three days' salary for ordinary people today.

However, it is not impressive in the reward list below. There are nearly 10,000 more exaggerated and large rewards on it.

Ma Haoge is not surprised, because in a wasteland where spiritual entertainment activities are extremely scarce, novels occupy almost the entire spiritual entertainment market.

Perhaps when TV dramas, movies, and sports become popular in the future, novels will drop a few notches.

But now, he is definitely the undoubted overlord.

"Old Ma, what are you looking at? Are you so fascinated?"

While Ma Haoge was writing the reminder message, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

For the first time, Ma Haoge couldn't match the voice to the owner, so he thought it was an acquaintance coming over.

But when he raised his head, his whole body froze suddenly. His brain was instantly congested and his face turned red.

"Lord Lord!"

"Why, you've only been out for more than a year and you don't recognize me anymore?"

Sumo smiled and glanced at the messages on his phone.

"Not bad, have you read the novel now?"

"Yes, it was there half a year ago, it started half a year ago!"

Ma Haoge was so excited that he was at a loss. He never thought that Sumo would appear here tonight, and he never thought that Sumo could still remember his name!

I, Lao Ma, am unknown on earth and a nobody.

But in the wasteland, can I make Su Shen remember that I am not more awesome than the King of Soldiers?
