In terms of environment, the City of Angels was much better than City Number One. However, in terms of prosperity, the City of Angels was like a big village.
City Number One had a population of more than ten million. Regardless of whether it was before or after the cataclysm, City Number One was a super metropolis.
However, although the City of Angels was also a super metropolis, it only had a population of a million.
As a super metropolis, at least half of City Number One's urban area was within the city walls. However, the City of Angels was different. There was only one wall in the City of Angels, which protected the core and the beginning of the city. At least 90% of the city's population lived outside the city walls. There was no protection from the city walls at all.
In order to accommodate more people, City Number One could only ask for space from the height. Therefore, there were many high-rise buildings. The City of Angels was different. Anyway, there was no city wall restriction. The city could be expanded as much as it wanted.
Even the entrance of the City of Angels was outside the city walls. Because the area in the city was too small, there was no way to build a landing pad for spaceships.
Therefore, when Gao Qi walked out of the entrance, he wondered if he had arrived at the City of Angels.
The first feeling was that it was very hot. The temperature in City Number One was only negative seven or eight degrees today, but the temperature in the City of Angels was at least above 20 degrees.
The second feeling was that it was very spacious. Looking around, except for a small cluster of tall buildings surrounded by the city walls in the distance, the rest were all low buildings. However, the roads were wide and clean. Also, the street lights were very bright.
Gao Qi liked spacious and quiet places. The City of Angels was not so noisy, which made him feel good. Especially the mild weather, neat and clean streets, and leisurely looking people, all made him feel very comfortable.
Also, the biggest benefit of the City of Angels was that one could really be rich.
After taking out two bills and handing them to the servant who helped to bring the big and small bags into the room, Gao Qi walked to the balcony and opened the glass door. Standing on the balcony, he began to look in the direction of the sea.
It was night time. Gao Qi could not see anything, but he could hear the sound of the waves. He could even smell the sea.
"I like the sea. I like it here."
After expressing his feelings in a very normal manner, Gao Qi took out his phone and made a call.
"Hey, Fei Ge, guess where I am. No, I didn't return to Morning Dawn City. I'm in the City of Angels."
Huang Fei wasn't surprised to receive Gao Qi's call. He wasn't surprised to hear that Gao Qi was already in the City of Angels. Huang Fei wasn't surprised either.
Huang Fei was very serious and said nervously, "You did it again this time, right?"
"That's right. But don't worry, everything is fine now."
Hearing Gao Qi's promise, Huang Fei immediately became happy. He immediately said, "That's good. Wait for me to find you."
"Okay, but we'll talk about it later. I have to go to the beach now. Fei Ge, I'm going to see the sea first."
For people who had never seen the sea before, the temptation of the sea was really great.
After hanging up the phone, Gao Qi looked at Anna who was standing on the balcony with him and said, "Let's go to the beach."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
In the morning, it was still cloudy and about to snow in City No. 1. At noon, they were already in the City of Angels. The great increase in travel speed was probably the only benefit of the first cataclysm.
However, because of the time difference, it was now night in the City of Angels. It happened to be early in the morning.
Niu Lidong's door was open. He was taking out the luggage he brought with him from the box so that he could change his heavy winter clothes into autumn clothes.
"Don't pack. Let's go to the beach!"
Niu Lidong hesitated for a moment. Then he took off his coat and put on a sweater. He ran out with Gao Qi.
"Brother Qi, Brother Qi, I heard that the sea is endless. Is it true?"
"Brother Qi, do you know how salty the sea is?"
Niu Lidong had a lot of questions, but Gao Qi wasn't annoyed. He was just as curious as Niu Lidong.
The three of them walked very quickly. The hotel was only about 300 meters away from the beach. There was a small path leading to the beach, and there were faint street lights on the path. However, when they got close to the beach, there were no street lights, but that didn't stop them from reaching the beach.
The beach wasn't as soft as expected, but with the help of the lights in the distance behind them, they could still see the white spray of the waves.
Gao Qi had finally fulfilled one of his life's wishes, to see the sea. For many people after the cataclysm, this was an impossible wish. However, Gao Qi was very lucky because he was here.
"This is the sea …"
Gao Qi closed his eyes. The sound of the waves, the faint smell of the sea, everything was so beautiful that he had to feel it with his heart.
"Brother Qi."
Gao Qi didn't open his eyes. He said softly, "Don't disturb me. Can't you see that I'm …"
"No, Brother Qi. It seems like someone is looking for trouble."
Gao Qi opened his eyes. He looked at Niu Lidong and then followed Niu Lidong's gaze. However, he didn't see anything.
"Is there someone?"
Niu Lidong lowered his voice and said, "Definitely. When we came out of the hotel just now, I felt that someone was following us. Listen carefully. There are footsteps very close to us."
Gao Qi listened for a long time, but he didn't hear anything.
Niu Lidong was a wasteland dweller. His intuition for danger wasn't innate. It was trained in the wasteland. However, if he said there was danger, then there really was danger.
The reason was simple. If someone was following them so far in the middle of the night, they definitely didn't have good intentions.
Gao Qi didn't think it was dangerous. However, when he thought about his current strength, he realized that his confidence and strength didn't match.
Gao Qi pulled out his pistol. He waited quietly for a moment. Suddenly, a bright light shone on Niu Lidong's face. Then, it shone on Gao Qi's face.
"Don't move! Hand over all your valuables! "
When they were more than ten meters away, Gao Qi leaned slightly to the side. He blocked the flashlight with one hand and used his body to block his gun at the same time.
The person was speaking Chinese. Although his accent was a little strange, it was easy to understand.
Gao Qi didn't move. He just said loudly, "Here's the money. Don't hurt us."
He put down his left hand that was blocking the light and took out a wad of cash from his pocket. Then, he saw the person with the flashlight rush to him and snatch the cash from his hand. Suddenly, he stretched out his gun with his right hand and pointed it at the person's head.
Even though the person was right in front of him, Gao Qi still couldn't see what he looked like. This person's skin was too dark. It was a perfect camouflage in the dark.
After Gao Qi pointed the gun at the person's head, he said faintly, "Don't move. If you move, I'll kill you."
As he spoke, Gao Qi snatched the flashlight from the robber's hand. Then, he raised the flashlight and shone it at the robber in front of him. It was a very strong black man. His right hand was holding the cash that Gao Qi had just taken out. He stood there stiffly and didn't dare to move.
Holding the flashlight in one hand and the money in the other, the robber definitely didn't have a gun.
After slowly passing the flashlight to Niu Lidong and taking back his money, Gao Qi asked curiously, "You don't even have a gun and you want to be a robber. What are you thinking?"
