Report

They continued to travel at high speed in the giant flying car.

Ai Sha sat at Zhou Bai's feet, and Cristina stood on her head. She straightened her body, placed her paws on the window, and looked outside with her eyes wide open.

Under Cristina's strong request, and Zhou Bai felt that this cat would have to see the light in the future, he decided to let her out and let her watch over Ai Sha for him.

Zhou Bai turned his head and looked at the scenery along the way. There was nothing but wilderness and ruins everywhere. He even saw two flashes of fire, accompanied by a series of loud bangs. It seemed like there was a battle going on.

Because of the war between the Heavenly Demons and the humans, the entire world had been reduced to ruins.

It was said that after humans retreated to the last third of the Eastern Continent, in order to defend against the Sky Demon and to deal with the Spiritual Opportunity infection, 90% of the population was concentrated in the five main cities of the East, West, South, and Central Continent. Almost all the elites in celestial techniques and combat were gathered there.

Dong Hua City, which Zhou Bai was heading to, was one of the five main cities.



Two hours later, Zhou Bai could see huge black shadows floating in the air from afar. They were densely packed, like a large number of spaceships.

"It's completely different from what I imagined."

Dong Hua City was a super-large city with a population of more than 300 million. It was more densely populated than Zhou Bai had imagined.

With the advanced celestial techniques, they could float a large number of buildings in the air and develop enough space to accommodate a huge population of more than 300 million.

The entire Dong Hua City had different areas such as the surface civilian residential area, the 500-meter military area, the 1,000-meter administrative area, the 1,500-meter academic area, and so on. From 50 meters underground to 2,000 meters above ground, they were divided into different functional areas according to different heights and directions.

On the outside of the city, a faint light film that was hard to see with the naked eye enveloped the entire city.

It was a giant matrix that enveloped the entire Dong Hua City. It could defend against the Sky Demon, purify the Spiritual Opportunity, and prevent infection. Under the triple protection of the matrix, Primordial Spirit adjustment, and rune vaccine, the possibility of Spiritual Opportunity infection was constantly reduced.

"It's really big." As the flying car got closer and closer to Dong Hua City, Zhou Bai could feel the size and density of the city. Looking up, he could see buildings floating in the sky, blocking out the sun.

These houses inherited the same style. Almost all of them were white, gray, and black. There were no unnecessary decorations. They floated back and forth and assembled like building blocks.

Zhou Bai looked down at the street. Because the sky was blocked by countless buildings, the street looked very dark. Also, because of the overcrowded houses and streets, it seemed abnormally cramped.

Zhou Bai got out of the car and took out the note that Zhang Aidao had given him. There were two addresses written on it. One was the registration point for Dong Hua Dao School, and the other was the home of a friend of Zhang Aidao's.

After all, Zhou Bai had just arrived and did not even have a place to stay. Therefore, Zhang Aidao wrote him an address and asked him to stay with a friend in Donghua City before the entrance examination.

Therefore, Zhang Aidao wrote down the address and asked him to stay with a friend in Dong Hua City before the entrance test. Therefore, he brought along a cat and a dog.

Along the way, Christina and Ai Sha were very eye-catching. After all, it was rare to see people raising cats and dogs in this era.

Zhou Bai sighed as he looked at the unusually dark streets. Donghua City looked magnificent from afar, but if one were to walk on the streets, they would be shrouded in shadows and darkness 24 hours a day.

Most of the people on the streets were also in a hurry. There were very few people who were strolling or chatting. Everyone seemed to be in a hurry.

The streets were extremely clean. Not only was there no trash, but there were also no greenery, landscape, or neon lights that Zhou Bai remembered from many big cities …

Cold, precise, like a machine that is operated and driven by countless parts.

This was Zhou Bai's first impression of Dong Hua City.

Next to him, Ai Sha walked up with her tongue hanging out. She shouted at Zhou Bai, "I'm hungry …"

Christina, who was riding on Ai Sha, immediately slapped the dog's head with her paw. "Who allowed you to speak! I told you not to say it outside. "

Ai Sha lowered her head, feeling wronged. Perhaps it was because of Dr. Chuang's experiment that the fully transformed Ai Sha could say one or two words, such as "Zhou Bai" and "I'm hungry."

But to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhou Bai still asked her not to say it outside.

Hearing Ai Sha's cry, Zhou Bai patted the dog's head. Ai Sha also rubbed against Zhou Bai's hand. Zhou Bai said, "Alright, Ai Sha, we are almost there. There will be food soon."

He brought the two of them to a large row of small buildings. These small buildings were built in a uniform manner on the street like metal cans. They were all apartments built by the Heavenly Court and allocated to ordinary people to live in.

Knock, knock, knock.

Footsteps sounded, and a white-haired old man opened the door. When he saw Zhou Bai, he was slightly stunned. "You are?"

"Zhang Aidao asked me to come. I am here to participate in the entrance examination of Dong Hua Daoist School. I don't have a place to stay, so he said I can stay here for a few days …"

"He still remembers me as his father?" The old man snorted coldly and turned to enter the house. "Come in and close the door."

When Zhou Bai walked into the house, he realized that it was a little messy. Things were placed on the table, the floor, and many corners were filled with dust and stains. The entire house seemed old and run-down.

However, although the old man looked serious and spoke in a cold tone, Zhou Bai had just sat down when he served him a bowl of porridge and pickled vegetables.

Even Ai Sha and Christina had two pieces of bread thrown to them.

Ai Sha picked up the bread and stuffed it eagerly into her mouth. As a special existence, Christina did not need to eat, drink, or poop. She patted Ai Sha's head and said softly, "Listen to me in the future, and this bread is yours. Do you understand?"

Ai Sha tilted her head and looked at Cristina with a puzzled expression.

On the other hand, after Zhou Bai entered the house, the old man kept looking at Zhou Bai's face. His expression flickered. One moment, he was smiling, and the next, he was frowning.

After eating a few mouthfuls of porridge, Zhou Bai could no longer stand the old man's stare. "Old man, what's the matter?"

"You …" The old man looked at Zhou Bai and said, "Are you Zhang Aidao's son?"

Pfft!

Zhou Bai spat out a mouthful of porridge and kept shaking his head.

However, the old man looked at Zhou Bai and smiled. "You really look like me when I was young …" Seeing that Zhou Bai was still denying it, he nodded in understanding. "Alright, alright. I know he doesn't recognize me as his father."

The old man's eyes were filled with curiosity and kindness as he looked at Zhou Bai. Suddenly, he sighed and mumbled, "I know he hates me. He hates me for forcing him to join the army after he failed the examinations. His mother even divorced me because of this.

But I've been a soldier all my life. I know how fragile life is now. If everyone is only thinking about self-preservation, if everyone is afraid of danger, and no one takes the initiative to stand up, there will really be nothing left. "

Zhou Bai said, "Why are you suddenly telling a story …"

"Aidao." The old man looked at Zhou Bai with some fear and said, "Do you hate Dad?"

Zhou Bai said, "Huh?"

Cristina looked at Zhou Bai and said, "You have Alzheimer's, right? He used to fight with the power of his primordial spirit, and his cultivation didn't improve. When he gets old, the chances of him having Alzheimer's would be higher.

After all, Tendo and Spiritium have already been distorted. When a person uses such things to fight for a long time, his cultivation won't improve when he gets old. His willpower and physical condition will decline, and it's natural that he will have a relapse. "
