Becoming Stronger After Death: I Keep Seeking Death in the World of the Universe.

Chapter 181: The City Reconstruction Begins

"What's up with these doors? I grew up in the Walled City, and it wasn't like this before."

Xin pulled his fist out of the wall, turned around to look at Xu Wang, and asked weakly.

"Oh, that's what you're talking about. You're right, but I just wanted to show off my abilities to the attendees."

Xu Wang shook the personal terminal in his left hand and briefly explained to Xinyi what had just happened.

Because the transformation of the walled city is extremely difficult, in order to convince everyone to support Xu Wang's transformation, he must give them enough confidence.

Therefore, during the meeting, Xu Wang used the Universal Workshop many times to quickly transform the walls.

They also used local materials to build a downward staircase.

Witness the magic of the Universal Workshop with your own eyes.

Although the neighbors don’t understand the principle behind it, seeing is believing.

His confidence in Xu Wang's plan to transform the walled city increased greatly.

Xu Wang's universal workshop, with sufficient blueprints and materials.

It is completely possible to start building houses and clearing water and electricity just like in survival construction games.

With the help of the neighbors in the walled city, it would not be difficult to transform the walled city in a timely manner.

It's just a little troublesome because the project is quite large.

After Xin Yi finished listening to Xu Wang's explanation, he stood there in a daze, looking at Xu Wang with his mouth slightly open: "So, I was blocked from entering the door again and again, purely because of bad luck and coincidence?"

"Oh no!"

Xu Wang denied it decisively and showed a cheerful smile: "I was just teasing you!"

Xin Yi fell silent for a moment after hearing this.

Then, his angry roar resounded throughout the entire fortress: "F**k! I'll kick your lungs!"

"Fuck!"

When Xu Wang saw that something was wrong, he turned around and ran away.

When Xin Yi found out that he had been tricked, he became furious and chased after Xu Wang!

Watching Xu Wang and Xin Yi jump out of the window and leave the meeting room one after another, Tornado was still there sighing: "Young people are full of energy."

The landlady also withdrew her gaze and commented: "It's just that his temper is too erratic. It's easy for him to suffer in the future."

The landlord didn't think so. He curled his lips and said, "Can he endure hardship? I think he is the one who makes others suffer. It's obvious that the boy is smarter than anyone else."

As he spoke, the wound on his face seemed to be touched, and he couldn't help but gasp.

Di Qiu was somewhat curious about the universal workshop used by Xu Wang: "I don't know how he did it, it's just like what's shown in science fiction works."

Tornado didn't speak.

I just remembered the power armor that Xu Wang was wearing.

This makes Xu Wang's origins more and more like a mystery.

But so what?

Not to mention the tornado itself.

In this city, there are only these people around him.

Who doesn't have their own secrets?
No matter what Xu Wang's background is, as long as he does not pose a threat to the city, Tornado will not care about him.

What's more, as soon as Xu Wang arrived, he did many things that he had long wanted to do but had not been able to do.

If Xu Wang really had bad ideas about the walled city in the future, it would be Tornado's responsibility. Even if it cost him his life, he would handle it.

The first Kowloon Walled City Reconstruction Conference was held perfectly.

Everyone who attended the meeting quickly conveyed the work of the meeting.

Take the lead in preparation.

According to Xu Wang's arrangement.

We must first sort out the power supply in the walled city.

There is no doubt that electricity has played a role in improving the quality of life of modern people.

Once the power problem is solved, it will be much easier to deal with other things.

This can be known based on the information Xinyi collected during the meeting.

Before 1977, only 20% of residents in the entire walled city had access to electricity.

The complex and dense architectural structure of Kowloon Walled City means that only the outer circle of the walled city and the nursing home in the center can be exposed to sunlight.

Most of the other residents of the walled city can only live in a world without sunlight, day or night.

This resulted in them having to use relatively primitive lighting methods.

Over time, it is easy to catch fire.

Or whether it is for the physical and mental health of the residents of the walled city, it is obviously not a good thing to continue like this.

In order to use electricity, the residents in the walled city began to privately lay electric wires.

You pull one and I pull one.

As time went by, they became entangled together and became what they are now.

ironnically.

Before the illegal installation of electrical wires, fires rarely occurred in the walled city.

Also in 1977, a small fire broke out due to illegal wiring.

Fortunately, the population density in the walled city is very high.

The fire had just started and was quickly discovered and put out by neighbors.

It was also because of this fire that everyone realized that the walled city could not continue like this.

Everyone wants to use electricity, but the lines must be planned properly.

Otherwise, a fire will happen sooner or later.

In fact, it was also in that year that Tornado came up with the plan to transform the walled city.

But the result is obvious: the transformation is too difficult.

After five years, there has not been much effect.

At first, they wanted to pull a main line in from outside, and then use this main line to branch out and enter every household.

As a result, during the construction, they discovered that there was a mountain under the Kowloon Walled City, which was all rock and could not be dug at all.

At that time, an electrical engineer also came up with an idea.

The main line can be laid directly on the ground, and then a foundation layer can be added on top.

However, this will definitely affect the residents on the first floor of the walled city.

Originally, most residents had agreed.

But the Axe Gang, the Crocodile Gang and some other small gangs strongly opposed it.

They think it will affect their business.

The last few rounds of negotiations ended up in nothing and have been dragged on until now.

But with Xu Wang, things became much simpler.

They couldn't dig through the rocks, and they couldn't send in large engineering equipment.

But Xu Wang can definitely handle it.

Xu Wang also thought that the proposal put forward by the electrical engineer was very good.

The reason they couldn't do it was simply because the construction was too difficult.

But as long as there is hope, these problems are not problems at all.

The day after the meeting.

Under the eager anticipation of the residents of the walled city.

The first phase of the Kowloon Walled City renovation project has finally begun.

Although Xu Wang wanted to start working directly.

But many elderly people in the walled city said that this project was very important and it didn't matter if they didn't choose an auspicious day.

At least we should invite a Taoist priest to perform a ritual to bless the construction to go smoothly and safely.

Hong Kong has a strong folk culture, not to mention it is a world with ghosts and gods.

Seeing that everyone was so insistent, Xu Wang had no choice but to agree.

You can also watch the fun while you're at it.

At this time, Xu Wang and others were standing outside the city wall, with Longjin Road behind them.

Looking at the altar covered with yellow cloth in front of him.

It is filled with offerings such as incense, candles, flowers, fruits, etc., and looks very formal.

Xu Wang asked Tornado beside him curiously: "Who is the Taoist priest who is praying? Uncle You?"

Tornado, who was smoking a cigarette almost all the time, was surprised when he heard this: "Ayou? How could you think he was a Taoist priest? It's Zhong Jiu. People in the Walled City call him Ajiu or Uncle Jiu. He is a very powerful Taoist priest and he even has a Taoist temple in the Walled City."

"Uncle Nine?!" Xu Wang was stunned. He first thought of Lin Zhengying and was a little excited.

Available soon.

As soon as Zhong Jiu, wearing a Taoist robe and with a sinister look on his face, came out, Xu Wang knew that he was wrong.

This is obviously Taoist Qianhe.

Zhong Jiu didn't communicate with anyone.

After appearing on stage, the blessing ceremony began immediately.

I saw him making the Ziwu seal with his hands and slowly began to chant scriptures and pray for blessings.

After that, he performed rituals and offered sacrifices, and then took Tornado, Di Qiu and others to kneel three times and kowtow nine times on the cushion.

Finally the ceremony ended.

Xu Wang watched it from beginning to end. He had never come across this before, so it seemed quite strange to him.

It's just that he didn't understand it at all.

Finally the altar was removed.

The fruit offerings were distributed to the neighbors present.

Xu Wang saw someone light a string of firecrackers and throw them into the iron bucket, and there was an immediate "crackling" sound!

The festive feeling comes immediately!

"Hey! I understand it this time!"

Xu Wang said he was very familiar with lighting firecrackers.

"Mr. Xu, we can start working now."

An electrical engineer named Mo nearby pulled Xu Wang.

Xu Wang nodded immediately: "Okay! Let's get started!"

This old Mo is the most skilled electrical engineer in the city, and it was he who proposed the plan to lay the main line.

We can finally start work today, and Lao Mo is very excited.

The original plan was to pull in a main line.

But since he was going to do it, Xu Wang definitely wanted to do it as well as possible, so he planned to directly draw three main lines: east, west, and center.

He wants to ensure that every household in the walled city has access to electricity and can use it safely!

"Okay! Let's get started!"

Lao Mo also turned around and shouted.

Everyone immediately began to help Xu Wang with his work.

Wearing the T45 power armor, Xu Wang transformed into a human excavator, working at full speed, and began to dig trenches along the street.

Only when he encounters some very hard stones will Xu Wang use the radiation flow and the decomposition ability of the Universal Workshop.

The surrounding neighbors were also busy.

Everyone knew that Xu Wang’s renovation project was for their own good.

Once completed, everyone benefits.

Therefore, those who are free will come forward to help.

The vigorous transformation of the walled city has begun.

In recent times, the topic of the entire city has been focused on this place.

Seeing that there was hope, everyone united in their desire to complete this project.

On the other side, Tornado stood on the rooftop of a building facing Longjin Road, holding a cigarette in his hand, staring at the bustling construction scene downstairs.

A smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"So you are here."

At this moment, a voice came from behind.

Tornado put away his smile and turned around, and saw Taoist priest Zhong Jiu who had opened the altar to pray for blessings earlier.

Zhong Jiu faced the tornado and forced a not-so-good-looking smile on his face: "Brother Long, what do you think of what I mentioned to you before?"

Tornado heard this and turned back: "No."

Unexpectedly, Tornado refused so decisively. Zhong Jiu frowned, then forced a smile and moved closer: "Brother Long, your lung cancer is also very serious, right? We are all patients, I won't hurt you."

Tornado didn't look at Zhong Jiu. He leaned his upper body against the fence, looking at the crowd below, without saying a word.

Zhong Jiu had already walked to Tornado's side and also looked downstairs: "Look, the city is getting better and better now, you don't want to leave so early and leave only these young people behind, right?
I know you think highly of Xinyi. Yes, he is very good, and he is one of the best among the younger generation. But you should also know that he has not been able to cultivate internal strength.

After you die, no one will be able to protect the fortress."

Tornado still didn't speak.

Zhong Jiu tried to persuade him: "Don't think I'm exaggerating.

The new guy had offended the Axe Gang not long ago. The Axe Gang would definitely not let it go. There were countless powerful assassins in the underworld who would do the job for money.

The Axe Gang suffered a loss at the hands of you and that kid this time, so they will definitely ask a real master to come over.

There is also the big boss, he is also a master of internal strength, and his strength is said to be only one level behind yours. But you are now in the late stage of lung cancer, what are your chances of winning against him?
Not to mention, if you really get sick, what will happen to this city in the future?"

As Zhong Jiu spoke, he turned his head to look at Tornado.

But the tornado remained indifferent.

A hint of anger finally flashed across his face, but he quickly suppressed it.

He knew that what he said today was in vain.

This tornado was even more stubborn and stupid than he had imagined.

So Zhong Jiu finally stopped wasting words and turned away.

Seeing that Tornado still refused to cooperate with him, Zhong Jiu, with a gloomy face, felt annoyed, but he began to think of other ways in his mind.

Like Tornado, he also has lung cancer.

And his lung cancer is worse than Tornado's.

He should have died years ago.

But Zhong Jiu was unwilling to die like this.

Therefore, he began to practice evil methods, raising little ghosts, sucking the ashes of the little ghosts, using yin to replenish yang, and forcibly prolonging his life until now.

But this is not a solution after all.

The Yin energy provided by the little ghost has been getting smaller and smaller recently.

His physical condition began to deteriorate again.

Zhong Jiu knew that he had to catch an evil ghost with more powerful Yin energy than the little ghost.

But having ghosts alone is not enough, there also needs to be a container that can hold the ghosts.

For this, we need the help of Tornado.

This is also because we are both lung cancer patients.

Although Tornado concealed his illness from everyone in the city except Si Zai.

But Zhong Jiu still saw it.

And he confirmed the truth by using words like "You don't want everyone to know that you have lung cancer, right?"

But the result was not satisfactory.

This guy Tornado seems to be really not afraid of death!

He clearly said that he had a way to prolong the life of the tornado.

But the tornado completely ignored it.

Zhong Jiu walked angrily to the stairwell on the rooftop and was about to go downstairs.

Suddenly, Tornado's voice came from behind: "Ah Jiu, I don't care what you want to do, but you are not allowed to attack the people in the city."

There was no warning in these words of the tornado.

But Zhong Jiu knew that this was a warning to him.

Zhong Jiu paused for a moment, then quickly left.

Not taking action against the people in the walled city?

How can it be!

He is not a tornado.

He just wants to live, and live longer.

He can do anything for this.

In the dark corridor, Zhong Jiu looked stern as he reached into his pocket and touched a business card.

I already have a decision in my mind.
