Chapter 226 - Socialism (2/2)

They were standing on a tall mountain when they saw a road under their feet and a modern city in the distance. From afar, they saw tall buildings.

From time to time, cars drove past the road. Wei Huo felt like he had gone 500 years back in time.

The golden armor thought this was weird. “Did we leave the fifth level? This shouldn’t be an illusion, right? Why are there humans on the seventh level of Kunlun Mountain?”

It was curious, but it did not know much about Kunlun Mountain, so it only observed the place closely.

They saw a small sedan parked on one side of the mountain road. A family got out of the car and walked for a few hundred meters before arriving at a meadow. They spread a blanket down and took out all sorts of food.

Wei Huo understood that the family had come to the mountain to have fun.

The golden armor was a little confused. It asked, “What are these iron boxes? They’re really powerful. Could they have evolved from ancient carriages?”

Wei Huo nodded. “More or less.”

He felt emotional. He felt like he had gone 500 years back in time. 500 years ago, he would not have felt anything if he had seen skyscrapers and cars. It would have been more depressing if he had swallowed a mouthful of exhaust gas. However, things were different now. Wei Huo could not help but feel emotional when he saw these things. He felt like he had returned to his hometown.

The golden armor was very curious. It was like a country bumpkin who kept looking around and asking questions. It was most interested in people’s food, clothing, and housing.

When it heard that the country did not have an emperor, it was shocked. “How can there be no emperor in this world?”

It seemed like the golden armor still did not understand the meaning of the words ‘socialism’ and ‘democracy’. However, it knew about election systems because it had heard of Yao Shunyu’s story.

“Impressive!” The golden armor praised this development. “Times are indeed improving.”

Wei Huo and the others reached the road. They kept moving forward, but they did not see any trash on the road. The family who had come to have fun previously would also carefully put the trash in a garbage bag to take it away. This made the golden armor sigh. “Such high quality. Could the humans in this small world have entered a society of Great Prosperity?”

Although the golden armor sighed, Wei Huo frowned.

At first, he had been filled with emotions. He had felt like he had returned to his hometown. Upon seeing the familiar skyscrapers and cars passing by, he had felt like he had gone 500 years back in time. However, he felt a little discordant now.

Wei Huo did not see anyone smoking. He did not see anyone whistling. No one was running through red lights or throwing rubbish. Most importantly, no one was setting up a stall to sell anything.

This was too civilized! Too harmonious! Too depressing!

There were no smiles on people’s faces. Everyone lived cautiously. If they accidentally stepped on someone, they would be shocked and would keep saying sorry. The person they had stepped on would say that it was alright. Then, the two of them would leave in a panic.

There was distance between humans. That whole family was very careful both physically and mentally. The children did not dare speak. Every child was very obedient and did not cry or make a fuss. The adults were very careful with everything they did. They stared at their children and did not relax for a moment.

That was weird. This city was not that simple.

The golden armor was confused. “What happened to this city?”
