003 Back to 30 years ago
The towering skyscrapers, the street shops are lined up, and the crowds are woven; it seems to be telling the world that this is a highly prosperous city.
However, the filthiness throughout the field of vision, the haze that cannot be pierced by the sun, and the coughs that pedestrians occasionally make it clear that this is a heavily polluted city.
Air trains using inferior fuels staggered past their heads like a swaying drunkard. More private vehicles were thrown at the roadside at will, the front hood was lifted, the windows were smashed, and valuable items inside had long been stolen and sold out.
Occasionally, one or two filthy tramps their heads out of the broken car window, cursing the dirty air or passers-by, coughing up phlegm, raising their heads and filling them with a mouthful of poor-quality white wine mixed with water, muttering and curling back into the car.
Like all cities around the world, this is another city with extremely low energy, which has seriously affected people's daily lives.
A narrow alley with few people, a garbage dump that was uncleared, two young men, one man and one woman. The woman's back was close to the wall, and the man grabbed one hand and pressed it on the top of her head, and the other hand tightly held a rechargeable battery that was so old that it could not see clearly the product's logo.
Today, when energy is extremely scarce and relies heavily on electricity, all products that can provide electricity are in short supply.
The man worked very hard, from kissing the woman's face to her neck to her chest, like a hungry beast biting her. The rechargeable battery that was taken out of the garbage pile and I don't know if it could be used was his prostitution money. The woman who was also flipping through the garbage was slower than him, so she had to pay for her body in order to get the battery.
The man gasped, finally moved his mouth away from the woman, lowered his head and untied his belt anxiously. The sudden bright light coming from behind almost blinded his eyes. When he turned around and rubbed his eyes hard, he finally saw another man standing in front of him.
This man is Li Yue.
"Where is this place?"
Li Yue asked in the horrified eyes of the two.
The woman was already scared and sat under the wall and couldn't speak. After stuttering for a while, the man finally squeezed out two words: "Earth".
Li Yue was slightly stunned, then laughed silently, nodded and said:
“Your answer is very correct.”
As he said that, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to his mouth. He tilted his head slightly and pressed the lighter to light it. However, suddenly, another white light lit up from the top of the lit cigarette.
The white light passed away, and the man and the woman changed their previous horror and became a silence. About three or four seconds later, the two of them came to their senses. The woman looked down at the rechargeable battery in her hands, then looked at Li Yue and the man standing in front of him, and suddenly stood up and flew away.
The man did not escape. His eyes were staring at the ignited cigarette in Li Yue's hand, swallowing involuntarily.
"Do you want this cigarette?" Li Yueyang asked the man with a ignition cigarette in his hand.
The man nodded quickly, his eyes full of anticipation.
This is a special cigarette. There is a memory remover installed at the top of the cigarette. It will start on its own when the temperature reaches 150 degrees Celsius, eliminating the memory of all people or animals that see strong light for 30 seconds. However, this memory remover is ineffective for Li Yue because of the special chip in his mind.
After the memory clearer is activated, it turns into ashes with the tobacco. At this time, this cigarette is no longer different from traditional cigarettes.
After experiencing the huge disaster of global nuclear leakage, human farming industry was almost cut in half, and nuclear residues in the soil turned the growing crops into chronic poisons. For this reason, the federal government had to make every effort to produce artificial foods to replace traditional foods.
Against this background, crops grown from isolated greenhouses have become rare, and traditional cigarettes made of tobacco leaves have become luxury goods.
Although Li Yue did not live in this era, he still had some understanding of this. In addition, he had just ruined other people's "good things" and did not smoke, so use this cigarette as a compensation.
Then he threw the cigarette to the man.
The man quickly reached out his hands to catch it, looked at Li Yue in disbelief, and then he squeezed the cigarette with both hands without raising his head, and started to suck it hard, choking and coughing.
"The Final Chapter is about to start running. Do you know where the nearest connector distribution is?"
While asking the man, Li Yue turned his head to look at the alley, with a slightly anxious expression. He was teleported here from thirty years later to come for the "Final Chapter". This is his mission and the only reason why he exists here!
"Cough cough... Cough cough... "The Final Chapter" is open for testing this afternoon... Cough cough... Let's go out of the alley and turn right three hundred meters... Cough cough cough... It's the distribution location of the No. 75 connector..."
The man said, coughing and turning to another alley, sucking the cigarette in his hand tightly while walking, for fear that Li Yue would regret it and then take the cigarette back.
Li Yue glanced at the man's back, shook his head, and walked towards the alley that the man said.
After leaving the alley, Li Yue stored it on the side of the road. He just couldn't tell what city it was in the alley. At this time, he saw the towering Federal Economic and Trade Building and found out that the city was called Dalian, one of the largest port cities in Northeast Asia.
Li Yue was deeply impressed by Dalian. Twenty-five years later, he was still a newly recruited recruit, and he participated in the frontal battle against mechanical civilization by the Asian headquarters of the Federal Army as an Australian reinforcement unit. The main battlefield is located in Dalian, known in history as the Battle of Dalian.
Li Yue remembered very clearly that when his airborne troops were wearing a bat-wing glider suit and flew down from a long-range transport plane rolling after being shot, their vision was completely filled with tracer bullets, blooming like a flower of death, which was so dazzling that it was suffocating. Tactics, equipment, psychological qualities... All pre-war preparations were useless at this time. What determines everyone's life and death was luck, but luck.
When the comrades in front of him were beaten into sieves, and when the blood splattered on his face with warmth, Li Yue instinctively closed his eyes...
A drop of liquid fell on Li Yue's face. Li Yue, who was immersed in painful memories, was shocked. He opened his eyes and reached out to touch it... It was not the blood of his comrades, but water, rain.
It was raining, and the acid rain fell on my face like insects crawling.
The few pedestrians on the street were rushing, pulling their hoodies to cover their heads. This is a necessary design for tops in this era. Tops without hoodies are difficult to sell.
Li Yue also pulled up his leather hoodie and looked to the left. He could easily see the sign "The Distribution Area of the "Final Chapter" connector" and walked over.
Chapter completed!
