After ten years of emergency migration and construction, Dragon City was at its peak on Earth, and it had a population of tens of millions.
Millions of them were experts, scholars, and high-quality workers who had moved from the coastal areas.
There were also hundreds of full-time institutions of higher learning, hundreds of research institutes, and industrial parks. There were two steel groups alone, and millions of researchers and industrial workers.
To deal with the brutal war, Dragon City had a complete range of industries. It had all the upstream and downstream industries. A large number of military factories and war bases were hidden underground, and many of the underground bases could withstand the bombardment of nuclear weapons.
Around Dragon City were industrial towns and technological innovation towns that moved inland from the coastal area. They formed more than ten satellite cities, and together with the main city area of Dragon City, they formed a mega metropolitan area that was rarely seen in the world.
All of this happened in the span of a single night, and he was transported to another world.
Since the dimensions of both sides overlapped and squeezed against each other, a very strange phenomenon of space folding and stretching appeared around Dragon City.
For example, about 50 kilometers north of the main city, there used to be an industrial town with a population of more than 200,000.
After transmigrating, a mountain range from another world was inserted between the town and the main city. The distance between the town and the main city was extended to a hundred kilometers.
Due to the great distance and the thick fog, it took more than twenty years for the people in the main city to discover the small town.
At this time, the population of the industrial town had decreased from 200,000 to less than 30,000.
There was a lack of resources, technology had regressed, and order had collapsed. It only had a population of two hundred thousand people and an incomplete industrial system. It was not enough for the small town to continue the flames of civilization in the Other World.
Many of the citizens who had been rescued had been tortured to the point of death. In order to survive, their organs, limbs, food habits, and morals had all undergone earth-shattering changes.
It was a similar situation in the Jiangnan Region.
After struggling in the fog for more than ten years, he was finally discovered by the main city of Jiangbei.
Fortunately, this was not a normal town. Jiangnan was large enough to ensure that the flames of civilization would not be extinguished even if the Other World invaded it.
It was just that the invasion from the Other World was worse, and the fog there was thicker than in Jiangbei. It was easier for space-time rifts to appear, and there were more monsters there, and they were even fiercer.
Hence, the people in Jiangnan Region were even fiercer than in Jiangbei. Or rather, there were not a lot of normal citizens in this region. Instead, it was a paradise for the Red Dragon Army and superhumans.
Without some skill, no one would dare to make their home in Jiangnan.
Of course, he was lucky to be found by the main city.
More science parks and industrial towns were still lost in the fog.
The authorities had also sent out a large number of exploration teams to search for them, but due to the drastic changes in the terrain caused by the spatial folds, many small towns and even satellite cities were no longer at their original coordinates.
Besides, the interference from the fog was really bad, and visibility was really low. There were also monsters attacking them, so their progress was really slow.
Even so, fortifying Jiangnan, opening up the satellite cities, and exploring the lost towns was Dragon City's strategy, which had not changed for decades.
It was impossible for the Survival Committee to let the satellite cities and industrial towns be trampled by the monsters in the fog, be it from a moral standpoint or for the sake of obtaining more population and production.
Therefore, every year, the combat test for undergraduates would be held at the frontline of the Jiangnan district.
This method told the examinees where the swords and wills of mankind should be directed.
"Let's get off. We have to change to an armored train to cross the river."
"The Red Dragon River is so majestic!"
"Look, there are monsters in the river!"
The examinees got off the car to loosen up their muscles and bones. When they were blown by the river breeze and the mist, they all gasped in surprise.
After they transmigrated, the terrain on Earth and the terrain of the Other World fused together in all sorts of strange ways. For some reason, the Red Dragon River had fused with a huge river in the Other World.
Due to the sudden change in the flow of water and the accumulation of sand at the bottom of the river, the Red Dragon River had flooded a few times.
After Dragon City transmigrated, the first disaster it faced was the flooding of the Red Dragon River. The surface of the river instantly became a few kilometers wider than before. The water surged forward and drowned countless citizens.
After the flood, the plague ran rampant, which led to the appearance of the zombie horde.
After decades of governance and the gradual stabilization of the dimension, humans subdued the Red Dragon River once more.
Even so, the riverbank was still a military-controlled area. Normal citizens could not easily get close to it.
It was no wonder then why they cried out in surprise when they saw the raging river and the turbid waves.
The sand and minerals from the Other World tumbled down, causing the river to be slightly red. It was a perfect match for the Red Dragon.
As the tides rose and fell, quite a number of aquatic monsters bared their fangs and claws.
Most of these monsters were rather weak, and they were not used to fighting on land. Instead, they were often hunted by humans, and they became an important source of high-quality protein.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Dozens of armored airships lowered their altitude and tossed stun bombs, which were similar to depth charges, into the river. They created a series of water pillars that were hundreds of meters tall.
Countless aquatic monsters were knocked unconscious and floated to the surface of the river. They were caught in one go by the powerful fishing nets with barbs attached to them.
Some of the aquatic monsters refused to let themselves be captured. They jumped out of the river in an attempt to attack the armored airships.
But they were dozens of meters away from each other. Even if they jumped into the air, they were already at the end of their tether. They were immediately blasted into a hornet's nest by the machine guns.
Besides, there were also superhumans watching over them in the air. If they ran into rare aquatic superbeasts, the superhumans and armored airships would swarm over and suppress them.
Soon, the ferocious and ugly aquatic monsters were dragged to the shore.
There were harvesters waiting for them there. After some simple processing, they used mechanical hands to send them to the fish processing factory.
After a series of beautiful operations in the assembly line, the originally ferocious monsters turned into canned food.
The luncheon meat canned food was actually made from the leftovers of aquatic monsters, the meat of gigantified earthworms, and all sorts of food additives.
This scene caused the examinees' blood to boil.
"We Earthlings are indeed the most brutal creatures under the stars. Wherever we go, we eat!"
"What monsters? To these pitiful creatures, we're the monsters, right?"
"We'll definitely be able to obtain the ultimate victory in this battle for survival!"
Dozens of school buses were parked in a military base by the river.
The soldiers sized up the examinees who got off the buses with curiosity and envy.
There were also a few soldiers with unkempt beards and unkempt clothes who looked like veterans who had just come from the frontlines. They greeted the children with grins and reminded them to wear a few more diapers during the practical test later so that they would not pee their pants.
"Whine! Whine! "
The crystal engine of the armored train let out a shrill whistle. Waves of air rushed into the air. Smoke filled the air, and the black turrets on the carriages looked incredibly mighty.
Thousands of examinees boarded the armored train and went through the railway bridge to head to Jiangnan Region.
The current Red Dragon River was practically twice as wide as it was on Earth. Every day, there would be huge tides crashing against the shore. Rocks would shoot into the air, and it was incredibly magnificent.
However, no matter how fierce the river was, it could still be conquered by humans.
After decades of construction, twelve Dragon River Bridges had been set up on the river, and the other side could not be seen. Five more were still being built, and they were like sharp swords that pierced through the city. They were the symbol of Earthlings conquering the Other World once more.
Many of the examinees took the armored train to cross the Red Dragon River for the first time. When they saw the raging river and the raging monsters under their feet, they could not help but cheer.
Among them, Chu Feixiong's cheers were the loudest.
The examinees who joined the practical test for the national college examination were distributed to dozens of different exam areas. The two brothers were pretty lucky and were placed together. They ran into each other coincidentally on the armored train, and they were delighted.
Chu Feixiong's written test results were pretty good. He scored 812 points and was ranked among the top ten thousand in the city.
In his own words, "Big Brother Xiong's writing skills have always been average, but he managed to rank among the top ten thousand. As long as he can use Super Reckless Bull Force that can shock the world and make the gods weep during the practical test, he will be able to get into the top five thousand and get into the military school or even the military school's heroic spirit course!"
His words were true. Over the past month or so, Meng Chao had provided guidance to many citizens, but the one he paid the most attention to was his best friend.
He was also a little stubborn, so he kept practicing Reckless Bull Force, and the more he practiced, the more motivated he became.
It was not an unfathomable and ultimate divine ability, but after practicing it for more than a month and having the monstrous strength he was born with, he might really be able to create a miracle.
At that moment, the screen at the front of each carriage lit up.
The noisy carriage immediately fell silent. Meng Chao and Chu Feixiong stood on their tiptoes to watch.
It was an introduction to the four great fighting occupations.
They represented the four ace courses from famous universities that had the highest passing score.
First, a young military officer in his twenties appeared on the screen. He was dressed in a camouflage uniform.
He stood as straight as a spear while he stood in front of a collapsed fort.
"The Other World is a place where the mind's interference with matter is far greater than that on Earth. Over here, our souls and wills are no longer intangible. We might even be existences that can be seen with the naked eye," the heroic military officer said.
The heroic officer said, "The human brain sends information to the outside world through brainwaves at all times. Especially when it is strongly stimulated and has made up its mind, when its willpower is tempered into steel, it will release a large amount of highly condensed information.
"On Earth, this information will soon disappear with the wind and be completely torn apart by Earth's magnetic field and solar storms.
"But in the Other World, the radiation from the stars and the magnetic fields of the planets are slightly different from those on Earth.
"With the nourishment and protection from the super energy source known as spirit energy, a human's brainwaves can exist for a long time in space. Even if our bodies are destroyed, our beliefs, wills, and spirits might turn into obsessions and continue existing.
"These obsessions aren't souls, much less ghosts or spirits. They don't have personalities, thoughts, or feelings. They're just like photos and videos. They faithfully record the most brilliant spirit of their owners when they were alive or their strongest wishes when they were about to die.
