Chapter 430 Panyan Glory
Yenan adopts the provincial system, and [Panyan City] is the city of the Lomark Province.
Rundown.
This was Song Shi’s first feeling when he drove into this city.
Gas stations and motels can be seen everywhere along the bumpy roads. The only flaw is that most of these facilities have been abandoned for an unknown period of time. Dry yellow vines climb up the walls and the iron-red window bars are deformed. bending.
Song Shi stopped the car along the way and looked at several of them in person.
The glass shards that have not been cleaned, the thick dust accumulated, the shelves that have been swept countless times, and the words "Pan Rock Glory" can still be vaguely recognized on the yellowed flyers in the corner. .
Keep moving forward.
Then, the iron color came to my face.
Rusted iron color.
The factories that used to work all night long, churning out red iron slurry, are now hidden in overgrown weeds. Those behemoth-like heavy machinery and equipment are as intimidating as ever, but when you walk in and raise your hands to touch, you will suddenly understand. It was found that it was covered with red rust marks.
The strong outline made of steel is now just a weak veil that can be lifted at any time.
Song Shi stood on the side of the mountain road, looking at the rust color below. They blended with the local dark yellow soil of Panyan City to form a strange color.
“Panyan City is a city established during the Seven Soil War. It is located behind the battlefield and has less interference, so it has become one of the logistics industrial bases that meet the needs of the Yenan campaign.”
Lapis Lazuli hung aside like a drone, repeating the information.
"So the entire Lomac Province was once prosperous. As the capital of the province, Panyan City was its representative. At its peak, the population here exceeded 1.5 million."
"But as the Seventh Century After the Turkish War, Panyan City's geographical location was no longer an advantage. Yenan canceled its policy support for the local area, many industries were transferred or abandoned, and the population emigrated in large numbers. Therefore, the place declined rapidly. ”
“ A city that prospered due to the situation will naturally decline due to the situation."
Song Shi commented.
He still carefully read some information collected by Lapis Lazuli, and went through the development process of Panyan City at the speed of light. The Panyan City in front of us is just the largest microcosm of the Lomac Province.
"The newly born city. Hum, the other party asked the auxiliary staff to wait for me here, probably because of this consideration."
The first generation of the Lord of Yenan rose up powerfully, was invincible, swept away all the people, and led that group A large number of defeated forces suddenly became the final winner of the Seven Lands War.
But because of this, the internal structure of [Yenan] is extremely complicated today. All forces belong to Yenan, but they all have their own basic areas. Like "Panyan City", there is no background. , the newly established cities that year became a minority.
——So, Panyan City does not belong to the basic base of any force.
There will be no sergeants of the [Justice Army], members of the [Second National Assembly], or the treaty center of [Haita Trade] here
"Do I need to contact the other party now?" Lapis Lazuli asked.
When the fourth ring [Revelation] left, he left behind the assistant’s communication method, obviously handing over the initiative to Song Shi.
Whatever you want.
"No rush."
Song Shi withdrew his gaze and knocked on the window of the off-road vehicle: "First let's get down to earth and take a look. Lapis Lazuli, do you understand?" What does the word "incognito private visit" mean to us Donglu people? ”
"In order to conceal their identities, emperors or officials wear civilian clothes to travel secretly to visit people or inspect difficult and serious cases." Lapis Lazuli replied.
“.Uh.”
Song Shi thought about it seriously and gave up the explanation decisively.
The engine roared again.
Song Shi pressed the camouflage module, and a layer of ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the off-road vehicle. It was a "nano-mechanical insect swarm". Xu Yu had left a unit in the vehicle to carry out local level inspections. camouflage.
In an instant, the off-road vehicle, which was originally made of cold steel and seemed to be worth a lot of money, suddenly showed a few paint pits, and the body was covered with the dusty feeling accumulated over time.
······
“A glass of beer! A strong one! Both must be very large!”
In the bar, there was a loud noise, like It was two pieces of iron that hit each other.
A strong man squeezed into the seat in front of the bar, like a brown bear stepping on a small ball. He put one hand on the bar table, and it was obvious that he was the one who made the sound.
However, after the loud noise, the noisy bar was not affected at all. Except for a few drunken "Fuck you mother!" laughter and curses, no one paid attention at all.
The bartender also turned a blind eye to this. You can't have any quality requirements for the customers of this kind of tavern.
After the bar counter was smashed to pieces by the mechanical prosthetics of various heroes in the seventh picture, the boss finally reluctantly gave up the idea of "retro style" and replaced the wooden bar counter with an all-steel one. Anyway, Panyan City lacks everything except steel.
“You pay for a drink,” the bartender said.
"Damn it, I can still give you this little money? I'll settle the score at the last dollar!"
The strong man said angrily.
The bartender didn't say anything, just stared at the strong man.
"At most, I can escape the bill for one or two drinks." The strong man muttered unhappily, his prosthetic eyes flashed, and he swept the money over.
The bartender skillfully turned on the faucet, poured two shots, threw a few ice cubes in, and slapped it in front of the other party.
The strong man Gulu took a sip and said angrily: "No! Just charge me! Why did you add industrial alcohol!"
"The economy has been bad recently and everyone is sad." The bartender was calm. , said slowly: "With the little money you gave me, if you still want something strong, you can only mix it with industrial alcohol."
He handed over a tissue and reminded carefully: "Just drink. You can get drunk if you want, but remember not to turn off the sobering enzyme completely. If you start spilling, I'll have to ask someone to carry you out."
"Sobering Enzyme" It is an artificial gland at a civilian price. Taking into account the high alcohol abuse rate in this poor place, the Panyan City Government semi-forcefully promoted this prosthesis to local adults.
Originally, the lowest decomposition power was locked, but soon, unlocking the "sobering enzyme" became the most popular business in the clinics of the prosthetic doctors.
Alas, the rock.
"Have you found a new job?" The bartender wiped the glass.
"What do you mean! Find a new job!"
The strong man was drinking wine. He choked immediately after hearing this, and seemed a little embarrassed.
"Who do you expect to be able to hide?" The bartender shrugged: "I heard that the young man's salary is a quarter lower than yours, so don't you have to get out?"
"Damn it."
The strong man was angry for a long time, and finally took a big sip and said irritably: "Panyan glory, Panyan glory. That's nice to say, and now! Fuquan is in front of me. The whole mess is on our shoulders! It’s so hard to find a job now!”
“Watch your words, what do you mean by ‘we’?” The bartender said leisurely. Not including the most dedicated, generous and kind-hearted Lorati and Moore families in Panyan City."
Everyone in the bar burst into laughter, and a man in a leather jacket shook his glass and drank. Shouted: "Lorati——"
Someone shouted: "You stupid pig!"
"Moll——"
Someone slapped the table hard: "Disappear from me!"
"The glory of the rock——"
Finally, everyone shouted in unison shouted.
“Stop whining!”
Then like a tide breaking, everyone dispersed, returned to their original positions, and continued to do whatever they were supposed to do.
“——Give this friend another glass of wine, something strong.”
At this moment, the strong man suddenly noticed that a young man in a coat sat down next to him. He knocked on the bar, first smiled at himself, and then emphasized to the bartender: "The really strong kind."
".What to do?" The strong man frowned.
"I'm from out of town, I just came to Panyan, and I'm not familiar with the place. So I want to talk to a local." Song Shi nodded to himself: "I remember seeing it before, this is not us Yenan’s ‘Pan Rock Glory’? But what happened to me along the way?”
The young man hid his words and made an expression that you understand.
The strong man stared at the young man for a few seconds, and then said: "Two cups."
Song Shi smiled.
“No problem.”
