mayfly era

With a heavy heart, Chen Li walked down the stairs from the underground boxing ring back to the street, and saw the governor standing where he was, with his bong smoking against the car door.

Behind him is a desolate street, and above his head is the sky covered with dark clouds. He is the only person, unrestrained and fresh.

Chen Yue took a deep breath, walked over to hug the pipe, and couldn't bear the hug. They made out for a long time, the pipe wrapped around his waist, and kissed his ear, the voice was still low and gentle.

"What's the matter?" After asking, he kissed again.

Chen Li leaned against Yan Qiang's arms and didn't want to talk. He was cold and uncomfortable now. Yan Qiang could feel his discomfort and gently stroked his back.

After a while, Smoker asked in a soft voice like coaxing a child, "Who made you angry?"

"I just spent one hundred thousand." Chen Li said in a muffled voice.

Smoker couldn't laugh or cry, "Did you beat people into meat paste?"

"...I'm not that cruel."

"Get in the car first, it's freezing outside." Smoker said.

Chen Li adjusted the car seat to the lowest position and lay down, still feeling tight in his chest, and his eyes turned black, "Old Smoke...give me a bite of what's in your car."

After digging through the bong for a while, he found no food, but found a pack of paper cigarettes. He was overjoyed and quickly put it away.

"What do you want to eat, I'll get it to you...Chen Li?" The smoker was startled when he turned his head, Chen Li's eyes were closed tightly, his face turned pale.

"...It's okay." Chen Li opened his eyes with some difficulty, and sat up, "I see."

Yan Qiang reached out to support him, touched his face, it was cold, and couldn't help worrying, "What's wrong with you?"

Chen Li tapped his head, "As you said before, I have evolved, and the consumption is a bit heavy. I haven't adapted yet. My thinking speed has accelerated, and my emotions have also been magnified... That's why I can eat so much recently."

"Eat it, eat as much as you can, and you can eat up both of us." Smoker said with a smile.

Chen Li covered his forehead, his tone was a bit sad, "Stop talking, I'm thinking of my hundred thousand again."

"What the hell are you..."

"Don't ask."

"Okay, whatever you say is what you say." The smoking gun didn't ask, "What do you want to eat? Let's go now."

Chen Li pointed out the car window, "That's it."

"Ah?" Smoker's mind immediately started to sound the alarm.

That shiny, slender round stick is the second tallest building in Central City, and on the top floor there is a cloud restaurant with a panoramic view—but given the weather in Central City, it is more appropriate to call it Wuyun Chinese Restaurant.

"Oh, I forgot, you are afraid of heights," Chen Li happily admired the bong with a tangled face, and added, "Don't go."

The smoking gun turned the front of the car, "You don't need to sit by the window."

It's dinner time, and diners gather at Yunzhong Restaurant. As soon as you enter, you can smell the smell of high-end red wine and fresh fish. The service staff smiles elegantly at each guest.

"We recommend the location by the window. It's going to be night soon, and this is an excellent location to enjoy the night view of the central city." The waitress said.

"He's afraid of heights." Chen Li didn't save the pipe any face.

"I'm afraid of heights." Smoker isn't ashamed to admit.

The waitress looked at the silver-haired man with a little surprise, but he was a well-trained professional after all. She smiled politely, "We can get a fender for this gentleman."

"Why don't you cover me with a helmet." Smoker complained.

"No, let's sit in the middle." Chen Li said.

The waitress still wanted to fight for it. After all, the table fees charged by the window were higher, but the aura of the two strangers made the waitress finally back down, "I wish you two gentlemen a pleasant meal."

The table in the middle is not only the cheapest, but also the largest table in Yunzhong Restaurant.

After sitting down, Yan Qiang patted the big table in front of him, "This position is so good, I can hear everyone talking now, except you."

Sitting at the other end of the table, Chen Li also felt that the distance was a bit outrageous.He dragged the suspension chair and sat next to Smoker.

"Aren't you hungry?" said the pipe again. "You really came to eat?"

"if not."

"Aren't you here to eavesdrop?" Smoker raised his eyebrows.

"Listen by the way." Chen Yue crossed his arms and leaned back in the chair.

"Isn't that Song Zhaorong?" The smoking gun pointed to Chen Li, "It looks like you've drunk a lot."

"Hmm." Chen Li looked at Song Zhaorong, he remembered that Song Zhaorong was wearing a purple windbreaker in the morning, and changed into a wine red skirt-style long coat in the afternoon.

He had seen Song Zhaorong three times, and three times she wore the same set of onyx on her ears—it should be a set of antique jewelry.

It seems that Ms. Song Zhaorong is not too rich.

At this time, she was excitedly talking about the topic of "Oasis" with the people at the same table. These people were very cautious and didn't mention "Giant Fortress" or leaving. It sounded like they were just discussing the entertainment and food in the oasis. And the value of the oasis as the only safe zone in the country.

"Over there," said Smoker softly again, "the Snowbird is there."

A slender man wearing a hat was sitting by the window, and at the same table with him were two middle-aged men who seemed to be of some status.

The three of them murmured together.

Snowbird is the code name for the man in the hat, he is an information dealer and a leader in the industry.

The circle of rich people in Central City is full of ripples and undercurrents.It seems that the weight of the stone dropped by the counter-reform was not light, and the force was precise.

Sensing Xue Bird's gaze, Chen Li turned his face and buried it on Yan Qiang's shoulder, Yan Qiang put his arms around him and kissed him, and asked in a low voice, "Did Xue Bird see you?"

"I don't know, take another look." Chen Li said with a buried face.

But Smoker gave Snowbird a hard look, and threatened with his mouth, "What are you looking at?"

Snowbird shrugged and continued talking to his clients like three quails.

After a while, the waitress pushed the dining car over, put the dishes in the set menu on the table, and then took out a cool white wine from the freezer.

She said in a sweet voice, "A gentleman gave this to the two of you as an apology."

"Don't open it, let it go." Chen Li said.

The waitress put down the wine bottle as she said, and pushed the dining car away.

"Haven't you had enough of this shelled one?" Smoker said as he peeled off a sea crab leg.

"Reminisce once in a while." Chen Li consciously opened his mouth and took away Bai Shengsheng's crab meat.

"Snowbird knows you?" asked Smoker.

"He went to my store for a drink...thank you for dipping in some sauce." Chen Li said.

"Then what are you hiding?" Wrapped the pipe in some sauce and fed it to Chen Li, "It looks quite salty, you should try it first."

"Not salty." Chen Li was stuffed with crab meat, and his cheeks became rounded.

The smoking gun continued to feed Boss Chen while peeling the shrimps and crabs, and asked softly, "Do you drink?"

"Don't drink, you're going to spoil me." Chen Li reflected while enjoying it.

"I can't ask for it," said the smoking gun cheerfully.

"People can't be too comfortable, too comfortable and easy to relax." Chen Li continued to bite the crispy and soft meat from the hand of the smoker, and his whole body was as lazy as a beast about to take a nap.

"It's okay." The bong was full of juice, and he wiped Chen Yue's pale lips in a tricky manner, "Are you full?"

Chen Yue licked his lips, the sweet juice made him appetite again, but he felt that he had to restrain himself, and he didn't move the pipe yet.

"Ah."

"Really?" Smoker laughed, "I don't believe it."

"It doesn't matter if you are full of seafood..." Chen Li muttered, and then said, "Have you noticed that even this kind of restaurant's business has improved?"

"Well, the expressions of the waiters are much more vivid." Smoker said.

Chen Li reached out and touched the plate, "It's not cold."

The smoking gun also touched it and agreed, "It's not cold."

"Then why don't you eat?" Chen Li asked.

"...I'm tired of stripping." Smoker looked at him and blinked.

Those strange-colored eyes are more gorgeous and rare than the antique crystal chandelier above the head.

Chen Li had a look of "I understand", he hooked the corner of his mouth, "May I ask a waiter to help you?"

Smoker curled his lips, a little disappointed.

"Just kidding." Chen Li brought the plate closer, "But I won't feed you, this is the last insistence."

Yan Qiang immediately smiled, and he stared closely at Chen Li without blinking, his eyes were full of sweetness that could not be concealed.

"How much do you think we can earn this time?" Chen Li asked in a low voice.

"It's enough for the boss to pay bonuses for several years." Smoker said.

"I heard that a car left this afternoon with weapons and bodyguards, but when we first arrived in Buffalo, even the car was hijacked, and no one dared to leave at night." Chen Yue said slowly.

Smoker asked curiously: "Clean? How clean?"

"Take everything that can be taken, and kill everything that can be killed."

Smoker laughed, "After all, it's not a business that everyone can do."

After peeling off the remaining shrimp and crab, Chen Li pushed it to the smoking gun, "Eat slowly."

The smoker mixed the noodles with miscellaneous grains and buried himself in eating.

Chen Li had no intention of leaving, he stared at the wine that Snowbird sent for a while, and suddenly frowned, "We have to go."

The smoking gun also stood up with him, and the two settled the bill and left the Yunzhong restaurant in a hurry.

After getting into the car, Smoker asked, "How much do you think Snowbird listened to?"

"Never mind him, he's not the only one listening, let's guess." Chen Li said.

"I haven't heard of the thing you said about Buffalo City."

"I made it up."

Smoker smiled, "You."

"Anyway, they now hear that the wind is rain, and everything they hear seems real."

"Damn, I'm so tired after eating." The smoker stretched his waist and legs, and started the "Governor" to go on the road.

"Unexpectedly, I wanted to treat you to a good meal."

"Nonsense, you just went to the field to investigate the effect of the propaganda of the presidents."

Chen Li didn't deny it, he asked: "Old Yan, do you think the first fish to bite will be the one we want to eat?"

"The old man went in, and the eighth bureau chief committed suicide. These are all omens in their eyes. The first group of people who heard the trouble and moved first... are the people who have benefited from the war." When saying these words , The murderous intent in the smoker's eyes leaked out crazily, and the planet-like eyeball seemed to be covered with severe frost.

"There are people like Song Zhaorong who think that if they stay in the central city, they will die." Chen Li paused and said, "Don't they think it's strange? The teeth that are so deeply decayed are starting to bite the bone."

"The oasis is the only safe zone. As long as you escape there, you don't have to be afraid of wars or giant fortresses."

Chen Li nodded, "The pawns were the first to run, the general didn't move, but the general has no pawns, what do you think?"

"It's just a piece of paper," said Smoker.

Chen Li turned his head and looked out the window. He thought that the prosperity of Central City at this moment was just a piece of paper.

The big men like to look down on their achievements calmly, but if they lose all the little people who have built their achievements for them, their pride will be worthless.

This human society is built up layer upon layer of countless people, and if one layer is removed, it will collapse terribly.

Even if this layer didn't seem to be up or down before.

Two days later, the counter-revolutionary society worked out the first list of those who fled to the oasis.

The "giant fortress" hangs over the heads of all the guilty and cowardly, and may fall down at any time, revealing the densely packed swords of Damoris inside.
