Songhai City.

This city located in the neighboring province of Ningjiang has a long history. In ancient times, there were one or two great poets who could spread their works to Chinese textbooks. Decades ago, in the tide of heavy industry development, Songhai City established many factories. The entire city was often shrouded in smoke from chimneys. The city once expanded and annexed many nearby counties.

But later, light industry emerged and heavy industry pollution problems were serious. A large number of factories in Songhai City either went bankrupt due to poor management or were shut down due to pollution violations. Coupled with the impact of the Internet, the entire city suddenly declined.

Today, in Songhai, you can also see the huge shadows of the towering chimneys of those abandoned factories hanging under the sunset, and you can see the mottled walls and production slogans full of the sense of the times under the chaotic pipes.

In the past, a factory supported thousands of people, and around the factory, schools and shops were scattered. Until now, most schools in Songhai still carry the words "workers' schools".

From the time Xu Rui arrived at the railway station, he felt the decay of the city.

First of all, Songhai City has not yet opened a high-speed rail. Xu Rui bought a green-skinned ticket, which took about ten hours from Ningjiang to Songhai.

There was no one coming and going at the railway station, only a few hawkers shouted symbolically, and when they walked out of the station with a sense of age, Xu Rui saw the gray sky.

The reason why Xu Rui came to Songhai City was not for the roast chicken that Zheng Weijie mentioned, but for the inspiration for the new work.

After the second season of "Music Girl" is broadcast in October, the fantasy electric animation will have three months of free time. After the theatrical version of "Music Girl" at the end of the year will not be broadcast until April next year.

This is mainly due to the content limitation of the original work. The current length is not enough to produce too much content. You need to wait until Teacher Shuhai completes a certain amount of creation before making it, and strive for perfection.

During this period, in addition to the production of "Your Name" and an original animation in martial arts preparations, the overall fantasy electric animation will become very leisurely. Therefore, Xu Rui is preparing to produce a twelve-episode short animation to maintain his working state.

He had many choices in his mind, but after hearing what Zheng Weijie said about the declining Songhai City, Xu Rui gradually gathered his ideas into a range.

It's so deserted. I remember when I was a child, I used soap from pine sea. I didn't expect that it has become like this now.

August is the hot summer. There is a slightly dim sun in the gray sky of Songhai City. The city’s greening is not very good, so the streets always seem particularly hot. Cheng Kewei, a producer who is traveling with Xu Rui, raised his hand to block the sunlight and said with emotion.

The two of them attracted a taxi at the entrance of the train station and arrived at the hotel they had booked before.

During this period, Xu Rui and Cheng Ke had a chat with the driver and had a rough understanding of the overall situation in Songhai City.

This is really strange. This is the first time I have met someone who came to Songhai for a trip, and most of them are either visiting relatives or discussing business.

The driver also found it very strange.

I heard that there is a roast chicken in Songhai that is very famous?

Xu Rui asked again.

Hum? I didn’t expect that someone could find out the roast chicken from Factory 16. Oh, after thinking about it, I haven’t eaten his roast chicken for a long time.

The driver said as if he missed it.

Factory No. 16 was a steel factory before, and the owner of the roast chicken restaurant was named Feng. We all called him Lao Feng. He was a worker from Factory No. 16. After Factory No. 16 went bankrupt, he was laid off and started to tinker with roast chicken. Unexpectedly, the more he did it, the more he did, the people in Songhai had to queue up to eat at night.

So awesome?

Cheng Kewei didn't believe it very much.

That's right, Lao Feng's roast chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, rich in juice. It's a whole piece for fifteen yuan. It's so fragrant. Oh, I'm drooling.

The driver said while focusing on the road ahead.

There are not many cars on the street, which makes me feel a little surprised when I get used to traffic jams in the evening.

However, later, Songhai became more and more decayed, and young people went out to work, and those who were left were all elderly and children. Not only the roast chicken from the old Feng family, but Songhai felt nothing angry.

Songhai city has now shrunk a lot. The factories opened in the past have been abandoned and no one has taken over, forming a spectacular abandoned industrial community. These towering and huge buildings are covered with moss. At first glance, it looks like it was after the end of the world.

The taxi quickly arrived at the destination. It was the only two chain hotel in Songhai City. When Xu Rui and his friends checked in, the entire hotel was deserted and there were no outsiders.

The hotel is close to Factory No. 16. After a little cleaning, Xu Rui and Cheng Kewei took a taxi to Factory No. 16.

Steel plants are always large in scale. In the night sky, the dark and dark buildings are like a monster, lurking in invisible places. Only a few shops still have lights on, but the lights sway and seem to be extinguished at any time.

Soon, the two found the location of Feng Ji roasted chicken.

There were several people in the store wearing disposable gloves on their own and eating the roasted chicken in front of them.

Xu Rui and Cheng Kewei asked for one first. As soon as they sat down and were about to chat with the gray-haired boss, the roar of the engine came from outside.

It was like the sound of a motorcycle's engine, but the subtleties were different, so Xu Rui couldn't hear it.

The next moment, the store door was opened and several people wearing leather jackets and colorful hair walked into the store.

Xu Rui glanced curiously and found that these motorcycle runners were all girls.

Their dresses are quite non-mainstream in the urban-rural fringe areas. Their hair explodes, colorful, their eyes are smoky, and their faces are pale. When they come in, they tend to smash the entire store.

No...

Cheng Kewei felt a little nervous. Could it be that he would have encountered a gangster to make trouble?

The girl in the lead walked into the store with a swagger, looked at other customers, and then came to the counter and stood in front of Lao Feng.

Ask for seven roasted chickens.

......puff.

Cheng Kewei almost laughed out loud. No one expected that the girls of the rampage clan who seemed unruly would sit together obediently, waiting for Lao Feng's roast chicken.

After a while, the roast chicken was brought up. They were noisy and divided the roast chicken, chatting about where to go to race tonight and where to go to sing KTV tomorrow. It sounded like students on summer vacation.

What do you see?

Because of curiosity, Xu Rui and Cheng Ke looked at these rampant girls from time to time, but were discovered by the person in charge. She stuffed the chicken legs in her hand into her mouth, swallowed them quickly, then stood up and walked towards the two of them.

For a moment, Xu Rui and Cheng Kewei were surrounded by the rampage girls.
