What stunned Zhang Lisheng was a young woman with slightly tanned skin who had a very outstanding appearance. He saw that the woman was walking together with more than ten of the most outstanding young Taoist disciples with a smile on her face. However, there was a hint of sorrow in between her brows from the beginning to the end.
Beside the woman, a tall and dignified man with a childish face, who was at most 16 or 17 years old, was walking in high spirits as he said loudly, "Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, as the saying goes, 'Great destruction and great establishment.' I think this great calamity is a chance for our Gate of Dao to regroup.
I can't believe that the supernatural realm's people in Tatetutu are so weak. I'm afraid that I can kill my way in and out of their battle formation with just one flying sword … "
Upon hearing his Junior Brother who did not understand the world's affairs spouting nonsense, a young man who was not much older than him and had a jade-like face that looked like a Chinese New Year's painting but had a steady temperament of experience said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother Liu, don't talk nonsense when your elders are not here.
How dare you say that the supernatural realm's people are weak after two or three rounds of weighing? In the Boundless World, how many powerful people have you seen before? Don't tell me that you've got a fever or something?
The Gate sees that you're talented and a true seed of our Gate of Dao, that's why we allowed you to come out to gain experience at such a young age.
You also know the background of Director-General Guo, who's actually in charge of this operation. If you said those words in front of your own people, it would only cause you to be taught a lesson.
However, if it's heard by others, they would say that our Gate of Dao's disciples are arrogant and frivolous, and that we've embarrassed the Gate of Dao's face for no reason. Not only that, they might even go to heaven to hear it. Remember to be careful with your words in the future. "
The young man who spouted nonsense just now still had the temperament of a young man. After being reprimanded by his Senior Brother, his face turned red as he stammered, "Senior Brother Duan, y-y-you, I-I …" He wanted to refute but he did not have the guts. He wanted to accept it, but he could not save his face.
Fortunately, at this moment, a young woman with very beautiful features and a heroic temperament beside him saw that the situation was awkward, so she opened her mouth to help. "Junior Brother Liu, your Senior Brother Lianbao taught you a lesson for your own good. You must remember this.
Lianbao, Junior Brother Liu has just left the Gate of Dao, so he's wrong with his words. It's right for you to guide him, but you don't have to make it sound so bad. "
After that, the other companions also began to smooth things over. "Sigh, it's all out of kindness. Junior Brother Liu is trying to promote the morale of our Dao Sect, while Junior Brother Duan is mature and steady. It's all out of kindness.
"That's right, that's right. Junior Brother Liu is a greenhorn, but he's full of drive. Junior Brother Duan is young, but he's experienced, experienced, and steady. They're both heroes of our Taoism."
"Alright, alright, it's small matter. Let's not, and Duan an Duan Duan Master., I have a Duan Sect's disciple. Amidst the noise, the Gate of Dao's disciples walked out of the cafeteria. However, nobody noticed that the dark-skinned young female Gate of Dao disciple whom Zhang Lisheng was staring at seemed to have sensed something. After she made eye contact with the Wizard Li God, she came to a halt and her face turned pale.
However, Guo Caiying sensed Zhang Lisheng's abnormality. After the waiter served desserts and coffee, she asked in confusion, "Lisheng, what's wrong with you?"
"Living in this world, one can really encounter all kinds of strange things." Watching the Gate of Dao's disciple disappear, Zhang Lisheng could not hide his astonishment as he muttered bitterly, "A female classmate from the same village when I was young has actually become a Gate of Dao's disciple. This is really …"
"A female classmate from the same village? Hmph! You must be a childhood sweetheart, right? You look like an honest bookworm in Stanford, but I didn't expect you to have such rich emotional experience," Guo Caiying said with a curl of her lips. Guo Caiying curled her lips and said. She looked like a completely different person compared to her cold demeanor at noon.
"We can't be considered as childhood sweethearts. It's just that I was abandoned by my mother when I was young and my father scolded and beat me every day, forcing me to practice witchcraft. She would occasionally comfort me and send me some delicious food, that's all." Zhang Lisheng lowered his head and said insincerely.
Guo Caiying had seen the young man's calm, happy, cold, brutal, and many other expressions before, but she had never thought that he would have such a faint weak expression on his face.
Slightly stunned, the faint pain in her chest overshadowed the jealousy in her heart. The girl gently held Zhang Lisheng's palm and asked softly, "Did you suffer a lot when you were young?"
"Actually, I didn't feel that it was very hard." The young man snapped back to reality and his expression instantly became calm and composed. With a smile, he asked, "That's right, Senior Sister, what's the situation in China now?"
When Guo Caiying saw that Zhang Lisheng was unwilling to talk about the tragic past, she cleverly did not ask anymore. Instead, she told him in detail about the situation of China after the world's barriers completely collapsed.
As it turned out, as the only country on Earth that was as lucky as the US to have a foreign world that had no native civilization and supernatural creatures, due to the system, China's central government was stronger and its people were more docile. Due to this reason, its early population migration was much more successful than the US.
Long ago, when the ordinary US citizens who were accustomed to enjoying freedom and democracy scoffed at the idea of moving to the foreign world that needed to be rebuilt and start their lives anew, the Chinese government, who had a rich experience in the 'half-military, half-civilian' army reclamation and development, had already begun to mobilize the people with administrative orders to repeat the successful development in the northwest of the country.
For this reason, when the situation on Earth became more and more severe and the foreign world became a comfortable paradise instead, the Noah World controlled by the US could not accommodate more immigrants due to its harsh environment and insufficient development of oases. On the contrary, China's Kunlun World ushered in a peak period of immigration due to its natural environment that was originally more favorable and had sufficient development efforts.
This peak further allowed Kunlun to obtain a fission-like accelerated development.
On top of that, the geographical location of the Kunlun World happened to be in the middle of the four most populous provinces in China, namely Qilu, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Zhili, and Henan. After the world's barriers collapsed, these provinces were ingeniously bordered by Kunlun and merged together.
In addition, all local officials in China were appointed by the central government, so they were much easier to control than elected politicians. Not only that, there were armed police forces in each place, and guns were also prohibited among the people.
After a short period of chaos in the early days, an emergency satellite was launched into the sky. A speech by the central leader miraculously restored the order of most of the densely populated areas in the country to a preliminary calm. After that, the situation continued to improve unexpectedly. In the end, the girl said in high spirits, "Right now, the residents of Kunlun World have exceeded 200 million.
In addition to the more than 300 million people in the four provinces of Shandong, Suzhou, Zhili, and Henan, the total population living in the new administrative area that has just been divided is at least 600 million. Light and heavy industries have also formed a complete industrial chain.
Even though the per capita economic index has regressed for at least 20 years, our country can be said to be the sole ruler of the Kunlun World now. It's truly a vast land with abundant resources. As long as there's no war, we can definitely recover quickly. "
"I remember that the population of China is 1.3 billion, right? Other than the 600 million people you mentioned, what about the rest?" Looking at Guo Caiying's beaming face, Zhang Lisheng asked curiously.
"A total of 18 'worlds' have appeared in China. It's too difficult to migrate everyone to the Kunlun World and the surrounding four provinces. However, the country's suborbital aerospace aircraft are still continuously transporting immigrants," The girl's expression turned gloomy right away as she replied in a low voice.
The suborbital aerospace aircraft could indeed fly in the Earth's space orbit and cleverly avoid the huge foreign world. After the barriers collapsed, it could continue to travel around the world. However, this kind of aircraft that could only carry a few hundred people at a time transporting hundreds of millions of immigrants was simply a symbol of the Chinese government not giving up on the people. In reality, it did not have much significance.
Zhang Lisheng realized this and could not help but comfort the girl, "Senior Sister, in such a strange era, it's already commendable for a government to be able to protect the safety of nearly half of its citizens, isn't it?"
"Yes, we've tried our best." Guo Caiying became silent for a while before replying weakly, "Actually, Lisheng, the terrible consequences of the collapse of the world's barriers that may lead to the destruction of civilization and the destruction of the country have always frightened me. Even though it has caused a terrible disaster now, to be honest, it really makes me feel relieved."
The young man was stunned for a while before understanding the meaning of the girl's words. This was like having a machete hanging above a person's head. Before the machete chopped down, the person would always be on tenterhooks and in a constant state of anxiety. He would only be concerned about when the machete would come down and whether it would chop off his head or not. However, when the machete really chopped down, even though it would only be chopping off one of his arms and it would still be excruciating, his heart would feel relaxed instead.
"Come to think of it, it's indeed a relief." Zhang Lisheng nodded in agreement and joked, "So the Chinese government actually has the leisure to send all of you to Tatetutu to study why the 'door' to the supernatural realm has appeared, right?"
To his surprise, Guo Caiying actually shrugged and replied without any hesitation, "That's right, Lisheng. Solving the riddle of the world's barriers must be the most popular and important topic in the future. It can even be said that mastering this riddle is equivalent to having the power to affect the entire Colossal World. For this reason, it's the smartest way to start researching now is to prepare for a rainy day.
To a politician, paying attention to this kind of hot issue that can attract everyone's attention is easy to gain political achievements. Adding on to the fact that the supernatural realm that Tatetutu appears in is not particularly powerful, it's a very good choice to come here to 'gild' … "
"Oh, Senior Sister, you're really an honest politician." Zhang Lisheng burst out laughing and interrupted the girl's words.
"I don't want to have any secrets in front of you." The girl smiled and said, "Can you tell me the story of your conquest of Shrimp No.2, no, the Wizard Li World? I want to know more about you."
"Alright, be prepared. That's a very, very long story," The young man looked at the gloomy night outside the window and picked up his coffee to finish it in one gulp before replying …
