I will never give in to Miss Death
Page 228
Once you enter the Glory Zone of Kamihama City, the whole world will look different.
There is a second Kamijuma River between the Minaminagi District and the Glory District, which is also located in the middle of Kamijuma City. This river runs up from Minaminagi Port along the north, then bends toward the northwest, and finally goes deep into the Minaminagi District. It is a river that runs through the Minaminagi District, the Glory District, and the Minaminagi District.
In Minami Nagi District, since the area near the Shinbin River in the Rongyao District is basically full of merchants' warehouses and unfinished buildings, there are not many people living around, and the road section is very desolate. At a glance, there are not many buildings and traces of human life. So if someone drives directly to Shinbin Bridge from the residential area of Minami Nagi District, such as the Xingxing Garden Community or Xingguang Primary School, people who are not familiar with the road conditions may get lost or feel like "Did I take the wrong road? It seems like this is in the suburbs."
Then after passing through this desolate road and crossing the Kamihama Bridge, this "desolate feeling" will disappear and turn into another very subtle... "Am I in Kamihama City?" experience.
Except for the suburbs in the Glory District, such as the medicinal plant garden that Yin Xiamo and I visited before, the architectural style of most places has a "Fusang" or "America" style.
There are very few "pigeon cage" or "densely populated residential areas" buildings here. After getting off the Kamihama Bridge, there are green grasses everywhere. There is a small convenience store here and a 4S store there. Most of the houses are small bungalows or community buildings with no more than three or five floors.
Even for the three- or five-story residential buildings, the distances between them are very spacious, enough to accommodate at least two basketball courts and a small garden. The surrounding areas are planted with large trees that look very valuable, and the view is full of green everywhere.
There are basically no slums and various "informal" small vendors in the central area near the Snail House, such as mobile food trucks or barbecue stalls at night. The streets are frighteningly clean and there are surprisingly few people, as if this place is isolated from the entire Kamihama City.
Kamihama City is a recognized super city. It has the problems that most cities have. For example, in wealthy areas, there are all kinds of high-rise buildings and real estate frenzy. A community is almost filled with high-rise buildings with more than 20 floors, which look like pigs being raised, with houses densely packed together, and then sold for 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per square meter. Or the prosperous areas of the city are surrounded by cheap urban villages, where a large number of migrant workers are crowded in and go out early and come back late. Or there are those four- or five-story office buildings that are crowded with small and medium-sized companies and surrounded by fast food restaurants and snack streets. At rush hour, everyone queues up for the elevator, and at night the whole building is brightly lit. Countless people work overtime, ruining their youth and their bodies.
In sharp contrast to the bustling city center is the "resource decline zone" like Minami Nagi District. Due to severe population loss, the local economy is very poor, the population is decreasing, houses cannot be built, and markets cannot be set up, making Minami Nagi District look particularly empty and dilapidated.
But the Glory District is obviously different from the Minami-nagi District in the city center.
The feeling that the buildings and people here give me...how should I put it, it's like "it's as if the people here don't have to work, they just lie down every day and collect money to live in big houses for retirement."
Because really... there are so many villas here!
Along the way, I hardly saw any office buildings or large corporate bases that were specifically provided for office workers. All were villa areas and high-end residential areas, and the rest were snack streets, commercial streets, and pedestrian streets.
"Has the Glory Zone developed to this extent?"
Coming down from the Kamihama Bridge, Yin Xiamo slowed down, allowing me to observe the various scenery and passers-by on the roadside.
The Kamigahama Bridge and the majestic Kamigahama River behind me are slowly receding.
Many wealthy people who got up early were debugging their yachts by the river. Some people directly drove their private helicopters, flying "da da da" all the way without knowing where they were going.
Million-dollar sports cars can be seen everywhere on the motorway, most of which I cannot name. Some of these cars give you the intuition that "if you hit them, you will have to pay tens of thousands of dollars in compensation", but even I, who don't know much about cars, think they look particularly cool.
"Hmm? As expected, Nuoer likes sports cars?"
Perhaps seeing that my attention was attracted by the occasional passing cars on the road, Yin Xiamo, who was driving the bicycle, turned around and said, "Sure, I'll go and resell some arms in a couple of days, and I promise to buy one for Nuoer within a week!"
"That's not it!"
I subconsciously retorted, "I just don't see this kind of car normally, so I'm a little curious. And what the hell is this arms trafficking thing of yours? Don't do anything weird!"
Although I don’t know the brands of various sports cars and don’t know how to appreciate them, because I live in the central area, I know the sounds of ordinary cars. In comparison, the engine sound of a sports car is more special to my ears.
It’s like when I was a kid playing with four-wheel drive cars. The ordinary five-dollar cars with built-in motors couldn’t run very fast, and the sound was a "rustling" feeling. All my friends had this kind of cars, and I was used to the sound of ordinary motors. Suddenly one day a rich kid came, and the four-wheel drive car in his hand was equipped with "ZMC materials". The motor used was a "supersonic" motor that cost nearly a hundred dollars, and the sound was a very special "buzzing" sound. I would also take a second look at his car.
But that doesn't mean I want such an exaggerated car.
Millions or tens of millions for a car is really beyond my personal understanding. Perhaps with Yin Xiamo and I having unlimited lifespans, we will probably be interested in these sports cars after experiencing most things in the human world in a few hundred years. But right now... tens of millions for a car, I would really rather buy a comfortable little house.
"Isn't it?"
After getting my negative answer, Yin Xiamo also cast a curious look at the departing sports car: "The speed of this thing... well, it's barely on the same level as a centaur."
"Centaur?"
I was surprised: "Can I ride on a centaur from another world?"
"Of course, they are also intelligent life forms. Their status in the other world is basically the same as that of the elves. Moreover, these guys are different from the peace-loving elves. They really want to fight. Whether it is a male or female centaur, it takes less than six hours from birth to being able to stand up and walk. Then these little guys start running at full speed. Their entire lives are running forward."
Yin Xiamo said with emotion: "Just now I roughly estimated the speed of that sports car. If it is at full speed... it should be able to reach the average speed of a half-adult female Centaur."
"Female? Half-grown?"
I suddenly became interested: "Has Xiaomo ever ridden a centaur before?"
Yin Xiamo turned her head away: "It's not just me... In fact, when the hero was alive, he also liked to take the centaurs to battle."
"Eh?"
I was a little embarrassed: "A brave man..."
"He was still a fool at that time. When he first met a centaur... he was flirting with the little centaur girl in the tribe. I wanted to kill that little guy."
Yin Xiamo looked a little sour: "But later I found out that they were just ordinary friends, so I didn't do anything. In the end, the centaur girl became my mount. We won many wars, and she became the queen of the centaur tribe."
Wow!
It sounds like... my blood is boiling.
"But didn't you just say... that you rode a dragon to fight in the later stages?"
"Yes, but the dragon is another story."
Yin Xiamo thought for a moment and said, "Many ancient races participated in that war, including the dragon race. The giant dragon that fought alongside me at the time was also the little princess of the dragon race. Her personality is similar to yours now."
"Hey!"
I pinched Yin Xiamo's shoulder and asked, "What do you mean by almost the same as me now?"
"She just always thinks she is the Dragon King. I reminded her many times that she is a female dragon and can only be a princess, but she refused to accept it and insisted that she is the man who will be the Dragon King in the future."
"..."
"Om..."
While Yin Xiamo and I were chatting, the gorgeous sports car that had clearly run away just now seemed to have made a big circle and came back, stopping on the motorway next to us. The window rolled down, and the man sitting in the driver's seat stretched out his hand and waved: "Hey, where are you two beauties going?"
"Ok?"
At this moment, a crack appeared in the space next to Yin Xiamo's hand, and from my angle I could already see the gleaming scythe of the Grim Reaper inside.
"Wait...wait a minute."
I was a little confused: "Is this person your enemy?"
"He actually dared to seduce you. I'm going to go over and kill him."
"Stop, stop, stop, calm down!"
As I said this, I waved to the man over there: "We're not going anywhere! We're just strolling around, sorry!"
Given Yin Xiamo's and my looks and figures, and the fact that we were wearing Lolita skirts today, the chances of being picked up when we walked down the street were very high.
Ordinary people's areas like the Central District are okay. Most boys nowadays have the same mentality as I did when I was an "uncle" before - I can't even live well myself, so how can I have a girlfriend? Those dazzling girls can be left to the rich. I wish them happiness.
The terrible housing prices and marriage costs have caused a sharp decline in the desire of young people today to start a family. When they see a pretty girl on the street, they will just look at her a few more times, feeling that they are so lucky to see a cute girl today, and then return to their daily life. They will go home to watch anime and play games when they should go home, and go to work when they should go to the company. They will not rush to ask, "Hey, beautiful girl, what's your WeChat? Let's be friends." like they did more than ten or twenty years ago.
But it’s different here in the Glory District. Most of the people who can live here are rich and powerful, so when Yin Xiamo and I ride our bikes on the spacious roads here, there’s still a chance that we’ll be approached.
"oh oh!"
Perhaps he really sensed Yin Xiamo's "murderous intention". At my kind reminder, the driver in front quickly rolled up the window and said, "Sorry to bother you."
Then, the car's engine started again, and with a "buzzing" sound, it turned around and drove away.
"I'd better come down. It's a good time to take a walk after breakfast."
Signaling Yin Xiamo to stop the car, I jumped out from the back of the car: "You were so rough just now!"
I don't know what exact speed Yin Xiamo was riding the bicycle at when she was "going full speed" just now. I only know that the hair style that I had just combed in the morning was completely messed up by this.
Not only were her bangs in front messy as if she had just woken up from bed, but her twin ponytails at the back were one short and one long, and the straps used to secure them were crooked.
I looked around at the somewhat deserted streets around me, and thought it would be a little inconvenient to style my hair here, so I had to take off all the hair accessories and ribbons on the back, letting my long hair fall behind me. Then I used my hands to roughly comb the bangs in front and the hair that was past my waist at the back so that they didn't look too messy.
The bicycle I bought...can't be compared with the very expensive ones, it is a "cheap car", but "cheap cars" also have their own advantages, that is, they are durable.
You can build it as hard as you can, the skin is tough and the flesh is thick, so you don't have to worry about it breaking.
Furthermore, when I purchased this bike, the owner emphasized to me that this style of bike would go extremely fast if driven to the highest gear, as long as the rider had enough strength.
Originally, my first consideration when buying a bicycle was speed. The advantage of a bicycle is that when encountering some complicated road sections, you can get off the bike and push it or carry it through the crowd, and you can speed at full speed on some roads. When the store owner said that this bike was fast enough, I bargained for the price and paid.
What makes a mountain bike different from an ordinary bicycle is that it has two rotating shafts that can adjust the speed - I don't know how to describe that thing, anyway, for ordinary bicycles and shared bicycles, its chain and rotating shaft are fixed, and basically the rear wheel will rotate one circle when the pedals rotate one circle. But special riding bicycles are different. They have many speed gears at the back, and you can set the circumference of the rotating shaft that contacts the pedals to be very small, and the rotating shaft of the rear wheel is particularly large, so that when a person pedals one circle, the rear wheel only rotates less than one third.
The physical principle of this design is like two circles on a track, the small circle drives the big circle, or the big circle drives the small circle. If the gear is adjusted to the small circle driving the big circle, it means that the rear wheel does not turn one circle after the pedal is stepped on once, and the wheel only moves forward a little bit. This mode will appear to be particularly easy. Conversely, if the big circle drives the small circle, one turn of the big pedal circle is equivalent to several turns of the rear wheel. The speed of the car will be very fast, but it will be particularly strenuous.
Just now, when she was riding her bike so fast that she felt like she was flying, Yin Xiamo adjusted the circle of the gear pedal to the largest, and the circle of the rear wheel to the smallest. Although this gear allows her to ride faster, it is extremely energy-consuming - the problem is that what Xiaomo has the most is strength, and she felt like she was flying while riding.
I even suspected that she used a little bit of magic to protect the axle or tires of the bicycle. Otherwise, even if it was a very durable bicycle, it would be scrapped in less than half an hour if she rode it the way she just did.
"Okay, let's go."
After tidying up my bangs and the long hair at the back, I motioned Yin Xiamo to get off the bike and push the cart: "It's not far from Jiang Wei's neighborhood, so there's no need to ride."
I have never walked the road from Nannai District to Rongyao District. I just discussed the specific route with Yin Xiamo using the mobile map in the morning. Yin Xiamo didn't even look at the mobile map a second time along the way. Either she has a photographic memory, or she has lived here for the past few years and is very familiar with the road conditions from Nannai District to Rongyao District.
I feel it's the latter.
"We are almost downstairs in your neighborhood."
Walking with Yin Xiamo on the deserted streets of the wealthy area, I called Jiang Wei: "Are you guys up? Okay, okay, we should be there in ten minutes at most."
I put my phone down, and feeling my long hair fluttering again, I simply combed it again.
This Lolita "Dreamland Amusement Park" dress has a more "dreamy" and "childlike" color combination, giving it the feeling of "a little girl's dream in a fairy tale". So in most cases, the girls I see wearing it online will pair it with a more "Lolita" hairstyle, such as twin ponytails. Long hair like mine, especially hair that goes past the waist, will make this dress look very "fairy", just like... that "little fairy" feeling, which is particularly eye-catching.
Moreover, because of the "bell" on my neck, this "little fairy" seems to have an owner.
This makes me feel even more ashamed.
But there's nothing I can do, I can't just get my hair done on the street.
It is really hard to take care of a girl's hair when it is long, but I think it is a pity to cut it short. I can only learn how to take care of long hair while showing off my beauty with a wry smile.
Even an uncle... has a love for beauty, right?
"Don't you have a magnetic card?"
I bought some fruit at a nearby fruit shop and pushed my bike to the high-end residential area where Jiang Wei lived. As expected, Yin Xiamo and I were "blocked" by the security guard there.
"We're here to visit friends."
I followed the address Jiang Wei gave me: "Room 107, Zilanyuan."
"Wait a moment."
I don’t know if the security guards in the wealthy area are all calm, or if it’s because Yin Xiamo and I look so good that this security uncle is in a good mood. He directly took the intercom next to him and said, “No. 107 Zi Lan Yuan, contact us. Two women said they are here to see their friends. See if the owner is here and confirm with him.”
Then there was silence for half a minute.
"The owner is here. The one who just moved in the day before yesterday said it is indeed his friend. Let's release it."
"it is good."
After hearing the voice coming from the intercom, the security guard waved to Yin Xiamo and me and pointed to the electric bike parking space on the side: "Go in, put the bikes over there. If you park inside, we won't be responsible if they are stolen."
Wow, in a wealthy area...are there people stealing bicycles too?
As soon as this thought came to my mind, the video footage of "Uncle Bei San" being arrested in the small apartment appeared in my mind.
It is said that the guy could not continue studying in college because the courses were too stupid, the people in the dormitory were too annoying, and he often had conflicts with his roommates. He looked for a job but found it too hard and tiring, and the salary was not high. He was also too playful and thought about playing games online every day. Most of his jobs did not last more than a month. In the end, he had to rely on petty thefts and writing articles online to make a living.
His words "I made 200 a month right after graduation" really reflected his inner thoughts, because this person has basically never done a job with a high salary. In many jobs, he would quit after working for less than half a month and would not get a penny. Even if the boss was more conscientious, he would only give him or yuan at most.
I had visited their school forum before and found that many people were very happy that "Uncle Bei San" was arrested and taken to the police station.
[Oh my god, this idiot has been acting like an idiot since he moved in. He can’t stand what everyone does in the dormitory, and he keeps complaining all day long]
[For example, the guy across from me and him likes to drink Coke. I don’t know where he got the news from, but we’re drinking it here, while he’s complaining that Coke kills sperm and is bad for the body. He keeps asking us to quit drinking Coke. It’s really annoying, and my good mood is gone.]
[Yes, yes, every day he says this is bad for the health and that is bad for the health, and he is still playing games at 3 o'clock in the morning, with the microphone on, the keyboard clacking, and from time to time he shouts "Fuck, I lost again, stupid teammates", I was woken up several times, I really want to beat his head off! ]
[I live next to their dormitory. My friend was smoking in the corridor before, and this guy came over and told us to quit smoking. If my friend hadn’t considered him as a classmate, he would have wanted to fight with him.]
[He just can't stand anything. He even complained to me in the class group before about why men use Tachibana Kanade's avatar. What avatar I use is none of his business. Now, he's still like this even after being expelled from school. Can't make it anymore? Did he get caught stealing? I can only say he's dead! ]
Considering that there are all kinds of strange people in this world, and no one can guarantee that there will be a few "bicycle thieves" in the Glory Zone, a rich area, Yin Xiamo and I went to the place where the security guard said there were cameras, parked the bicycles, and locked them to the metal guardrail next to it.
"Right, Noel, I told you, no one will notice this bell."
After parking the car, we walked towards Jiang Wei's house together. The girl next to me came up to me, looked at the golden bell on my neck, and reached out to fiddle with it: "It's not heavy, is it?"
I didn't know what to say for a moment, so I could only suppress my resentment and said, "No! It's too heavy!"
"Wow! Your cheeks are puffing up!"
Yin Xiamo put on an exaggerated look and stretched out her hand to pinch my face: "Nuo'er is so cute... She's so cute even when she's angry!"
I subconsciously slapped the hand away.
Humph.
