Chapter 568 Wind and Cloud (Da Zhang asks for a monthly pass)

"Look over there, it's fireworks!"

On the seat in front, a girl pointed out the window excitedly.

"Yes!"

The boy next to the window also looked out the window excitedly.

"The house over there is so short, what kind of place is it, it should be great to watch the fireworks over there."

The girl leaned on the front and back seat of the car, and looked out the window with her head sideways. Rows upon rows of high-rise buildings followed one another. She could only see a corner of the fireworks from the gaps between the buildings.

"Let me see,"

The boy raised his bracelet and seemed to be looking at the map software on the bracelet. After a while, his tone became lower and his raised shoulders drooped. "That's the villa area in Saint-Root."

The Saint-Root district is where the wealthiest people of Wittland gather, and it is also the headquarters of most large consortia in Wittland.

The girl turned around and seemed to feel the change in the mood of the boy beside her. She leaned slightly on the boy, "It's okay, we don't need to buy a house there, and we can just go there to watch the fireworks in the future."

She looked at the boy with a dazed look in frustration, and dragged out a large canvas bag with the advertisement of Huiermei Hospital printed on it from under the seat, "Some things are born with it, and if they are not born, they will not have it." of,"

She fumbled in the bag with her hand and took out a piece of steak, "Let's go back to fry the steak tonight, my sister in the workshop recommended it to me, the Nolanka Group's synthetic steak, although this brand of steak doesn't sound very good I’ve said it, but it’s said to taste good, taste like real meat, and it’s cheap.”

The boy stared blankly at the girl, and the bright fireworks reflected brilliant colors in the girl's black pupils.

He opened his mouth, and just about to say something, the mechanical female voice broadcast from the car's audio system came out.

"Hazel has arrived."

The bus stopped slowly.

"Idiot, it's time to get out of the car,"

The girl glanced at the surrounding buildings, held the bag in one hand, grabbed the boy's hand with the other, and quickly pulled the boy towards the open car door, "We still have 10 minutes more than half-price transfer time, if we don't catch up by then, It will cost an extra 50 cents."

And as their figures left in a hurry, two other young men in simple denim overalls got into the car.

"Ordinary card users."

"Ordinary card users."

Two dry and repeated mechanical female voices echoed in the compartment.

The bus company in Wittland basically pays without feeling on the bus. As long as the wristband is bound to the bus company’s app, the program on the bus senses the special identity chip of the wristband after getting on the bus, and it will be directly on the user’s account. Account debited.

This kind of non-inductive payment only supports credit card payment, and the credit card that has signed a cooperation agreement with the bus company will have additional fare reduction.

The doors of the bus were closed and the vehicle started slowly.

The two young men glanced at the somewhat empty bus, and sat down not far from He Ao obliquely in front.

The young man sitting on the outside seemed to be watching some kind of news. The quality of his earphones was not good, and there was obvious sound leakage.

Relying on He Ao's current hearing, these voices have also become one of the background noises echoing in his ears.

"On the 24th, the bill on 'further increasing the coverage of accidental injury insurance in Chenxi City and increasing the amount of insurance' promoted by Christos, the mayor of Chenxi City, was proposed by the city council to be amended, which means that the bill has not been approved by the city council. directly through.

"Christos said that after the amendments to the bill, it will continue to be submitted to the city council for a vote.

"This is already the second bill of the mayor this year that has not been directly passed by the city council. The previous bill was a bill to raise the minimum wage. Bills are significantly reduced.

"Ever since the mayor launched the medical reform in Chenxi City last year in a thunderous way that shocked the entire Federation, he has been under pressure from the consortium in all aspects of his actions.

"Currently, Christos' ruling coalition still occupies the position of the majority party in the Chenxi City Council, but judging from the recent situation, it seems that the ruling coalition has fallen into a split.

"According to internal reports from Chenxi Daily, conservatives within the ruling coalition believe that Christos's series of actions since the medical reform are too radical, and the transitional restrictions and punishments on the consortium will lead to things going in an unpredictable direction.

"The radicals think that Christos' behavior is too conservative, and the consortium is not punished enough to effectively improve the dire situation in Dawn City.

"The recent inability of Christos' bill to be directly passed by the Dawn City Council seems to be affected by this split.

"If Kristos and his coalition lose control of Morningside City Council, the aspiring mayor will most likely become a thwarted lame duck, and as the mid-term elections for the Federal Assembly approach, Morningside City will The situation may become more complicated."

······
"What are you looking at?"

Next to the young man, the companion sitting by the window poked his head over and looked at the young man's bracelet.

"Trisen TV's news broadcast about Dawn City."

The young man took off his earphones and whispered.

"Dawn City?" The companion by the window raised his voice slightly, and he glanced at the young man suspiciously, "Then we are separated from us by the entire Federation, and we have to sit in an empty boat for a day, so why care about them?"

Then he straightened his body, leaned against the window, started to open the video software, and brushed his wristband, "Be happy, after all, you are so tired at work, why don't you think about complicated things after get off work."

"That's right," the young man put away his wristband, and then he seemed to remember something, "The mid-term elections are coming soon, who are you going to vote for as a senator?"

"Ned."

The companion said without hesitation.

At the moment the bus was passing a huge billboard with Ned's campaign poster on it.

"Why?" The young man was stunned, and the neon lights of Ned's campaign billboard hit his face, "This guy's campaign slogan has basically never been realized."

"promise,"

The companion raised the bracelet and showed the projection on the bracelet to the youth beside him.

From He Ao's perspective, he could just see the picture on the bracelet.

It was a beautiful girl blogger with a bumpy figure, sharing a video of her life,

"I really like this blogger. She said she thinks Ned is pretty good, and she will vote for Ned, so I voted for Ned by the way."

"Ah?" The young man was taken aback, "But what if that guy is a bastard?"

"Forget it," the companion leaned back to the window, "Which of these gentlemen running for senator is not a bastard?"

He looked at the video on the bracelet and asked casually, "What about you, who do you want to vote for?"

"Desanque,"

The young man flicked the bracelet, showing an electronic campaign poster on the bracelet, he introduced to his companion excitedly,
"He is very young, less than 40 years old, and he has worked in industrial areas before. He promised that if he succeeds in the election, he will work on promoting bills in the federal government to improve employee benefits, increase the minimum wage, and increase employee safety and security.

"Our factory is so dangerous. The man in workshop 15 was sucked into the machine two days ago, and he didn't even leave a complete bone. If there is an accidental injury insurance like that in Chenxi City, if we have an accident in the future, The family can also have security.”

"Sounds good," my companion leaned against the window, scrolling through the next video, "but when these congressmen were running for office, which one didn't boast about the hype, this Desek..."

"De Sank."

The youth corrected his companion's pronunciation.

"De Sank," the companion closed the bracelet, sat up straight, and looked into the young man's eyes, "how do you know that he's not another bastard?"

The young man's face was a little dazed.

"Be happy," the companion shrank back again, "No matter who goes up, the result is the same. The gentlemen of the city council won't care about us, and neither will the federal council. Those who can appear in front of us are all The consortium has selected them, and these people are all the same, just pick the one that is pleasing to the eye and vote for it."

The young man stared blankly at his companions. The bus passed Ned's campaign billboard and arrived in front of a huge shopping mall screen.

And on this screen, Ned's campaign advertisement was also played.

He raised his head and looked at Ned's confident, winning smile in the ad, and suddenly felt a little mocking.

The young man sat back dejectedly, leaned back on the back of the chair, and stared ahead.

This bus is an unmanned bus, and the price is slightly cheaper than that of a manned bus. There is no driver's seat in front of the bus, only an empty, huge front windshield.

Through this windshield, the youth can clearly see the high-rise buildings with neon lights flashing ahead.

Ned's campaign advertisements filled the large and small advertising spaces.

The cheerful, rhythmic specially designed campaign music echoed in his ears like piercing laughter at this moment.

He glanced at the poster on the bracelet, slowly closed the bracelet, and sighed softly.

"If only Christos were our mayor."

The companion next to him looked up at him, looked at the introduction video on the content of Christos' accident insurance bill on the interface of his bracelet, and slowly closed the bracelet.

Also sighed lightly.

Thereafter, the journey was followed by a long silence.

The two youths in rough overalls got off at the next stop.

People on the bus came and went, but they always kept a relatively quiet state.

He Ao bought a cloth cover on the street before getting on the bus, and wrapped the bone ax and the wooden box together. After getting on the bus, he leaned against the window, holding the cloth cover with his hand, and staring at the road ahead of the bus. .

There are not many passengers on this line, and now, it is not the rush hour for commuting.

This bus line is one of the longest bus lines in the entire city of Vitland, spanning the three districts of Plante, St. Roth and North Vitland.

On the way, you will pass through the old industrial area of ​​Plante, several civilian areas, many expensive private schools in Saint-Rothe, and finally return to the North Vitland district, pass the city council building, and pass the love where the mayor of Vittland lives. Lancer Palace, and Wittland University.

This line is not only an ordinary bus line, but also an important tourist route in Wetterland. There are many poor tourists who will choose this bus route to see most of the scenery of Wetterland with the least money.

Since it is a sightseeing route, the pricing method of this route is also different from other bus routes.

There are two types of ordinary buses in Wittland, one is the cheap self-driving yellow bus, and the other is the expensive manual-driving blue bus.

The prices are 1 Federal currency and 1.5 Federal currency respectively.

Of course, monthly subscriptions are also available. The monthly subscription price of the yellow bus is 75 federal currency, and the monthly subscription price of the blue bus is 97 federal currency. During the monthly subscription period, you can take unlimited rides.

Both buses can be transferred to other buses at half price within one hour after getting on the bus, but the yellow bus can only be transferred to the yellow bus, and the blue bus can be transferred to the blue bus or the yellow bus, but the price is still the same as the blue bus calculated at half price.

The route He Ao is taking now is slightly different from the normal bus route.

The price of getting on and off the bus in the area is the same as that of ordinary buses. For example, if you get on the bus in the Plantation District and get off in the Plantation District, the price is the same as that of the ordinary bus, which is 1 federal currency or 1.5 federal currency.

However, if you cross a district, you will be charged a half-price ticket for each additional district.

For example, the yellow bus that Howao is taking now costs 1 federal currency. This time, it takes the bus from the station in the old industrial area of ​​Plante. If you want to take the bus all the way to the North Witland District, across the two districts, you need An additional full-price ticket is charged, and the ticket price is 2 Federal Dollars.

But this isn't the first time 'Jess' has taken this line, as Jess used to take this bus home often in middle school.

However, Jess has never taken the 2 federal currency trip before, because he always got on the bus at Tellison Middle School in the St. Rowe District, and sat at his home in the North Witland District. It only crossed one district, so only an additional fee was charged. A half-price ticket, the ticket price is 1.5 federal currency.

As the bus approached the edge of the Plantation District, the faces of its passengers changed.

The faces of the workers gradually decreased, and the number of students gradually increased. These students all went to school from the Plantation District to the Saint-Root District.

Some private primary and secondary schools provide boarding services. These students are too far away from home, so they live in the school and go home every weekend.

Today happened to be Sunday, and they had to arrive at school the night before so that they could catch up with the school's morning class the next day.

Of course, this kind of boarding service is not available to students from ordinary families. Even if it is a four-person or six-person dormitory in the school, the boarding fee is not cheap.

Of course, compared to the high tuition fees of private schools, these boarding fees are not too much.

Some schools will waive part of the boarding fees for students with particularly excellent grades to help those poor students with their studies, and at the same time increase the enrollment rate of their own schools.

But such students are in the minority after all.

Therefore, the students who can go to private schools in Saint-Rothe will not be too poor, even if they live in the Plantation District.

The school uniforms of these students are basically neat and clean, and some have made personalized changes.

Besides the students, there were also some young people in formal clothes on the bus.

They are company employees who go to work night shifts in the Saint-Root district. Although they work among the bustling buildings, their salaries are not enough to support the rent they rent near these high-rise buildings.

So they basically live in the Plantation District, where the rent is lower, and the safety environment and living environment are worse.

Commuting to and from get off work every day often takes several hours by bus or subway.

The students chatted about the latest emerging idols and the influential figures in the school, while the office workers took a nap on their seats and watched the news or videos on their wristbands.

The bus moved forward slowly, and the people on board got up and down.

He Ao passed the old residential area, the bustling company building, and the splendid parliament building, and finally arrived near the University of Witland, and got off at the North Gate Station of the University of Witland.

From the bus station, walk a few hundred meters ahead, and you will find a quiet apartment building.

Here is the residence of Jess' parents, and it is also the place where Jess grew up from childhood.

Holding the cloth cover, He Ao's figure blended into the night and approached the apartment building.

This is also the place where Jess' mother committed suicide.
