mayfly era

Butterfly, an insect long gone but alive in the hearts of every resident of Canterlot.

Because Central City is shaped like a butterfly.And it has a huge and shining core, densely packed buildings stretch out around, spreading out a wing-shaped urban area.

The core is where the four major energy companies are located. The lights are always on day and night, and they become radiant through the refraction of some kind of high-grade glass material.The four major energy companies are open for people to visit once a month, and countless high-tech new products are introduced to customers. It is the most advanced consumer place in the central city.

The four major energy companies belong to four big families, and control unimaginable wealth and economic networks.

Many people dream of working here, work day and night to become employees of the big four energy companies, and then turn the dream into a nightmare in the near future.

The terminus of subway Z line is the four major energy companies. It is ridiculous to say, how can people who work in such a brilliant place take the cheapest transportation like the subway?And yet the truth is, they were really taking the subway to work.

Every night late at night, countless dog-like office workers in black suits pour into the underground transportation from the energy company station.They are expressionless, haggard and anxious, with a small electronic screen pinned to their chests, on which the company's slogan - "Energy saving and environmental protection, energy saving the world" is scrolled.

Perhaps they really take this unsafe and uncomfortable cheap transportation for the sake of saving energy.

It is now [-]:[-] in the morning, and the first batch of employees of the energy company have been transported to the company to start a busy day of work.Arriving with the employees was a Nightcrawler parked on the public parking lot next to the company gate.

The door will only be opened on the open day, and usually it is so tight that even a piece of paper cannot be inserted.

Two men got out of the car, one of them was smoking and looked tired, and the other looked more refreshed, leaning against the car door, sipping a glass of mint wine with ice.

This wine is one of the few breakfast wines that is refreshing and refreshing.

"It's the first time I know that I also work as a part-time express delivery service." The bong snuffed out the cigarette in the cigarette jar.

"Drink?" Chen Li handed the half-drinked mint wine to the front of the smoking gun.

"No, I've experienced this smell before, it's too offensive."

"How do we get in? Today is not an open day." Chen Li looked at the closed door thoughtfully.

"How do their employees get in?"

"Underground, brush your face."

"Do they have a reception system? I can ring the doorbell." Smoker repeated. "Ring the doorbell, not kick the door."

"Except for the open day, no visitors are accepted." Chen Li pointed to the electronic screen standing next to the gate, which was scrolling and playing these words.

"Who is this express mail for?"

"Song Zan, a high-level executive in the first district, the manager of the product development department."

"Hypnotize, are you alright?"

"Brother, I'm a little sloppy." Chen Li said helplessly.

"The success rate of your hypnosis is 98%, and mine is 96%. If it fails, it will be mine."

Chen Li thought for a while and said, "Let's make a backup."

He had a small [-]D printer in the trunk of his Nightcrawler, and after scanning the mysterious item, it kept a complete copy in the cassette and kept it in the car.

The two entered the subway station and took a young woman from the product development department to a monitoring corner for hypnosis. The process was very simple, and the young woman quickly accepted the instruction. They stuck a tiny camera on the button of the young woman's clothes. As small as the eye of a nanometer, it is difficult for any device to detect.

"We were like two sex offenders just now." Sitting in front of the surveillance screen in the car, Smoker muttered.

"What are you thinking, this girl is A," Chen Li drank the mint wine in one gulp, and his nose hurt from being flushed, and he frowned, "The gender law stipulates that she can only commit crimes against me."

"Sorry, I'm not very sensitive to smell." Smoker touched his nose.

"Let you smoke less."

On the screen, a young woman is already approaching Song Zan. Song Zan is a middle-aged woman who looks hale and hearty. Even though she goes to work so early in the morning, she doesn't look tired at all. She doesn't even need a cup of coffee on the table.

The hypnotized young woman walked up to Song Zan without any unnecessary actions or words, and handed the box to Song Zan.Song Zan looked up at the woman's face, she didn't ask any questions, put the box away with a smile, patted the woman's forearm, and then in the surveillance video, a meaningful smile appeared on her face.

"Is she looking at the camera?" Smoker said.

Chen Yue moved his finger and destroyed the lens remotely, "Yes, I watched it."

"The boss didn't say he wanted to be anonymous." Smoker recalled the order he received after [-] o'clock in the morning, "Help me send this to the energy company and give it to Song Zan." There were no other conditions or restrictions.

"Just think of him as a bribe and a gift." Chen Li glanced at the time and pinched the space between his brows. He was very sleepy, and whenever he was sleepy, he would get annoyed.

"Go back to the base and rest for a while," Smoker said, "I'm so sleepy that I saw the Buddha. I stayed overnight last night."

"Go to my shop." Chen Li set the destination directly, regardless of whether the smoking gun agreed or not.

"Alright, do you have food in the store?"

"The hallucinogenic drugs are enough."

"Stand aside and I'll buy a pancake."

"Thank you for adding more spice."

The price of a pancake is 68A, which multiplied by five will get you a one-bedroom apartment in a slum.

A is the currency unit common to the entire continent A. It is formulated by the World Federation, but it does not mean that the currencies of the countries in the continent can be used in common. Whether it is metal coins, card coins or larger denomination notes, there is a letter after A. Small "133" to mark the currency's nationality.

There is a huge gap in the price of food. People can buy very cheap food, most of which have words such as compression, dehydration, and long-term storage. There are also synthetics, milk-like, meat-like, and plant-like proteins, all at very cheap prices.

And pancakes, a food made by hand and using fresh ingredients, can be sold at sky-high prices that the poor can't imagine.

There is also water. The price of bottled water is 20A to 40A, depending on the brand price. Household water is not that expensive, but ordinary people cannot use it at will, and they will be notified of the water cut-off period every week.

In recent years, G has been hyping the benefits of cleaning spray, claiming that it not only cleans very well, but also is cheap.But in fact, no matter what kind of technology, the most basic and best cleaning agent is water.

Water in this world has never disappeared, but over-industrialization has deeply polluted water sources, and in order to support the material needs, war needs and living needs brought about by over-industrialization, water sources can only continue to be damaged.

It takes ten years to build a large-scale pharmaceutical factory similar to a city, employs hundreds of thousands of employees, and discharges tons of sewage, but at the same time treats tens of millions of patients and feeds millions of families...then this pharmaceutical factory must exist.

This is the so-called post-industrialized city.

Human beings are always slow to perceive, and by the time they sense a crisis, the crisis has already sneaked under their feet.

It just so happens that this is still an era of frequent wars and chaotic systems. In order to maintain the stability of a country, there must be a gap in resource demand, so that the people of the country can get used to prices and poverty.But it's ridiculous. In this era, the most profitable things are still those expensive things.

For example, alcohol, the price of bottled water is about 30A, and the price of a bottle of wine does not exceed 50% of a bottle of water, and alcohol can also bring happiness and make people forget their worries.

G will not prohibit the sale of alcohol, even if this chronic/poison/drug destroys the health of many people, as long as there is a steady stream of profits, there will be a steady stream of alcohol flowing into the market. G doesn't care whether these people live or die, or whether they will commit crimes because of it.

Because they are worthless.

Scholars of the human rights movement believe that 350 years ago was the golden age of human rights development, and now it is the age of dung. Ten years later, perhaps, as General Chen Ming predicted, mankind will enter the age of mayflies.

human rights?Does it still make sense?

Many domestic public channels often discuss a hot topic: Why not carry out international plunder?

It's not that it has never plundered, or even has been plundering all the time, it's just that G propagates domestically, inherits traditional education, and will not participate in any international plunder.In fact, the beginning of every war is a battle for resources, and the value of every person who dies on the front line may not be less than a liter of energy.

"The more it is made, the more unpalatable it is." After eating the last bite, the smoking gun folded up the wrapping paper and stuffed it into the trash can in the car. The wrapping paper was immediately crushed and returned to the raw material.

"Do you still remember that we were at A16, where there was wheat, and the boss baked pancakes and rolled leg of lamb for us?" Chen Li looked at the limp pancakes in his hand.

"Remember, I was starving like crazy. I hadn't eaten for two or three days. The boss was awesome. The first thing I did was to grab people's food..." Smoker rubbed his sleepy eyes, "Before I was so bored at sea and wanted to go back to the city, but now I live in the city, I always think about the time when I was at sea.”

"Since the boss chose Central City, it must be the best choice."

"He never gave up," said Smoky. "Aren't we, too?"

Chen Yue looked at his amber eyes, one was extremely bright and the other was dull.

That was the price they paid for winning the war, and the price they paid for their ambition.

"I went to meet the little guy in your store yesterday," said Smoking Gun.

"What?" Chen Li asked.

"He asked me about the dungeon, has he been to the dungeon?"

Chen Li couldn't help frowning slightly, "Is he interested in dungeons?"

"And also interested in those with gunpowder/guns."

"Are you interested in people, or are you interested in guns?"

"My feeling is the gun."

"How is Master Mei recently?"

"How would I know? I'm not his nanny."

"The nanny is better than you." Chen Li said angrily.

The car stopped in front of Bar Street, and the two opened the door and entered the bar.

The bar was still so chaotic and messy, and when he wasn't there, the cleaning staff would slow down, retaining the presumptuousness and sin of last night.

The air in the room smelled of alcohol, perfume, and tobacco, and the floor was littered with jars, bottles, wrappers, and the sticky liquid on the floor that stinks of protein.

Chen Li turned a blind eye to this familiarity, and went straight to the bar to check the accounts. Last night, the account was only half of the usual amount. Most likely, he was pocketed by the manager. This also happens in normal times. If he is not in the shop, the account will be less.But he doesn't run the bar to make money, either.

So looking at the account is just a matter of passing, mainly to check the identity information of the employee who was cut off by him.

"Did you see this person when you checked the hunter organization?" Chen Li pointed to the employee's profile and asked the pipe.

"No." Smoker looked over his head, "Isn't he your employee?"

"I didn't check carefully, only to find out that his identity information was forged..." Chen Li frowned, but his thoughts drifted to other things.

Since breaking away from the identity of a free mercenary and becoming a secret civil servant of G, he has not made a mistake for a long time, but this time because of his negligence, he has caused sexual crimes, prohibited duplication, and dead people, and it is hard for him not to blame himself.

What he thinks more is actually... Since he was away from the counter-revolutionary, he has not been taught for a long time.

He used to be impulsive, with a bad personality, and the smoking gun was already very thorny. He was even more troublesome than the smoking gun. He had a bad temper and disowned his relatives. Although he is not much better now, at least he looks like a human being, and he has gradually become calm. In other words, Too lazy to talk.

Rebellion, that is, the boss of RC, a man who is even more legendary than a legend.Abilities are legendary, experiences are legendary, and life experience is even more miraculously passed on, as if a god and demon are reincarnated.

But he is a scum emotionally, no one is more scum than him.
