Chapter 46: chapter 46 (1/2)
46, hpter46
The overall feeling of this town is: deadly.
The Empire has been paying close attention to territorial development and population control since the establishment of the empire for 50 years. Even small and remote places will be equipped with complete identification systems. The currency points are directly connected to the identification device. Paper money is extremely rare. If you exceed a certain number of points, you must swipe your identity card. Both parties of the transaction can see it at a glance.
But there is nothing here. There were no obstructions when entering the city gate. There were many empty stalls on both sides of the rough stone road. Several sporadic shops were filled with kora. Occasionally, housewives rushed out to shop, mostly using paper money they had never seen before.
Everyone was silent, shrugging their heads, for some reason it looked like a deep twilight.
Gavin and Heinrich walked to a small hotel, listening only to the owner sitting behind the gate and calling someone, speaking with a strong federal galaxy accent. They were still a while away from the shopkeeper, only faintly heard him saying, ”Recently, the wind has been tight, and all the people who have left the city ... the Qianye door has also been locked, there is no way, we have no time to hurry before that ...”
The owner finished the call and turned off the communicator and sat there. Gavin and Heinrich stared at each other, stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The owner looked up and saw that he was a ten-year-old unfamiliar teenager. His face was pale, his smile was mild and sincere, and his tone softened unconsciously. ”What is it?”
”Come for drool,” Gavin said with a grin, and he even spoke a fluent Union voice: ”Uncle Trouble, our car broke out, and we came all the way ...”
Heinrich stood not far away, trying to converge on the strong lph of his body, and owed something as Gavin's words greeted him.
The shopkeeper looked around at them a few times, and when his eyes lighted up, he immediately got up and drew Gavin in. Please, ”Come in, come in, it's okay anyway, there haven't been any visitors for a long time ... What do you want to drink? Moonlight Would you like flower wine? Would you like two ice cubes for you? ”
Gavin quit, but went into the hotel with Heinrich and sat. The living room layout is decent, a few sofas surround the artificial stove in the corner, and the holographic projection radiates the true portrait of the singer of the Alliance era to the ceiling. At this moment, I don't know what is singing in sorrow.
