Wasteland Love Game

Chapter 257 251. The king is watching you

Riding a small spaceship dedicated to receiving passengers, Chen Entropy and others came to the sky above the sky city.

Through the windows of the spaceship, everyone clearly saw the whole picture of the city.

Compared with Yeshu City, this city reveals a retro atmosphere, and the buildings on the streets seem to be in the popular style before the nuclear war.

However, compared to the retro architectural style, there is another thing in the sky city that is more eye-catching.

In this city, propaganda posters with strong political colors can be seen everywhere, whether on advertising screens or on the walls of the streets.

These promotional posters are either printed with the portrait of the current "king" or painted with the city's government logo.And at the bottom of each poster, there are these sonorous and powerful characters "The King is Watching You".

In the cabin of the spaceship, a man who looked like a civil servant walked in and introduced Chen Entropy to the three of them:

"Welcome to the sky city "Bahamut", dear traveler!I am an official from the 'Ministry of Tourism', and I welcome you on behalf of the King and the Government! "

Before the nuclear war, the sky city "Bahamut" was a famous tourist attraction.But now, the government of Sky City has still set up a "Ministry of Tourism" to manage the tourism business in an official form.

Tourists like Chen Entropy only need to apply on Sky City's official website and pay a certain amount of fees, and the Ministry of Tourism will help them arrange vehicles and hotels, as well as a series of basic tourism services.

The civil servant handed the three of Chen Entropy a pamphlet, and continued:

"Early before the century-old nuclear war, "Bahamut" was a world-famous tourist metropolis.At the same time, besides Yeshu City, it is also the best preserved pre-war city! "

"Here, you can enjoy the beauty of living in the clouds, and you can also visit the historical sites preserved from a hundred years ago, and experience the customs of history"

"But remember, three tourists!" The civil servant suddenly changed the subject, and his tone became serious:

"When you come to our sky city, you need to abide by the customs and laws here. Please be sure to read the tourist guidebook I sent you and abide by the above tourist rules."

"If you violate any of the above, we can only expel you from the city, or impose stricter punishment on you!"

The civil servant spoke slowly, but Chen Entropy still felt a little threatening from his words.

"Of course, I will respect your local customs." Chen Entropy smiled calmly.

Sitting on the airship, Chen Entropy began to read the tourist brochure.

The brochure briefly introduces the history and location of the city, as well as recommended tourist attractions for tourists.

On the last few pages of the manual, there are more than a dozen "prohibited items for tourists".

Most of these items are trivial matters such as "no littering", but the most striking ones are three:
"The sky city "Bahamut" only accepts passengers whose bodies have undergone mechanical transformation. "

"According to the law of "Bahamut", anyone must maintain absolute awe of the king and the government, and must not act contemptuously or speak insulting words towards them. "

"Some areas in the city are not allowed to visit, and tourists are not allowed to enter without any reason, and violators will be severely punished."

After reading the tourist brochure a little, the airship arrived in front of a hotel.

"Our Ministry of Tourism has prepared hotel rooms for you, I wish you a pleasant stay!" The door of the airship gradually opened, and the civil servant bowed slightly to them, saying goodbye to them.

Chen Entropy and others got off the airship and went to the room prepared for them by the Ministry of Tourism under the guidance of the hotel staff.

As soon as he entered the guest room, Chen Entropy put down his luggage and lay carelessly on the sofa in the living room.

This is a small apartment with a spacious living room and three separate bedrooms.The interior decoration of the room is quite decent, and the furniture is also new. It seems that the tourism department of Sky City attaches great importance to the experience of tourists.

Along the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room, everyone can overlook the scenery of the city standing in the clouds.The white clouds and the steel building pass by, as if you are in a fairyland.

Leaving aside the overabundance of political posters on the streets, the city looks like a slice of immaculate resort.Even if you invite the pampered rich guys from Yeshu City, they will definitely praise you.

"This place is a bit strange." However, Chu Jianlai sat on the sofa, clasped his hands and fell into deep thought:
"It always felt like someone was watching us."

"I also feel that someone is staring at me, and my whole body is frizzy." Baihu flapped his ears uneasily, and whispered to Chen Entropy.

Chen Entropy didn't seem to hear what they said, but turned on the TV in front of the sofa on his own.

As soon as I turned on the TV, the news channel came into view.

In the picture, the well-dressed host showed a smiley expression, and read enthusiastically:
"In the second half of last year, the per capita income of Bahamut City increased by another five percentage points compared to previous years. All this is due to the wise leadership of King Kennedy and the Sky Metropolitan Government! Let us continue to support our great king and government , contribute to the progress of this city”

Before the host finished speaking, Chen Entropy switched the channel to the next TV station.

What is broadcast on this TV station is a documentary titled "Sky City and the Great King Kennedy".

In the TV screen, the man who seems to be the king of the sky city is sitting in a convertible with his lover and child, waving to the people on both sides of the road.

The people around the road kept applauding and cheering without stopping.

The commentary of the documentary said at this time:
"This is a video of King Kennedy III and his family meeting with the crowd, which was warmly welcomed by the people. The Kennedy family has managed the city for generations, and the support rate of each session has remained above 90.00%. They are deeply loved by the people, A king whom the people voluntarily support."

Chen Entropy clicked his tongue lightly and switched to other TV stations.

However, no matter how Chen Entropy switched TV stations, he couldn't find any entertainment channels.What is shown on the TV screen is always a political documentary that praises the Sky City government and the king, or news that praises the king and the good governance of the government.

An impatient expression appeared on Chen Entropy's face, obviously he didn't like these TV shows.

But he didn't intend to turn off the TV at all, but instead turned the sound to the loudest.

Under the cover of the sound of the TV, Chen Entropy connected the small communicator and asked softly:

"Hey Kaliss, how many cameras and monitors are there in our room?"

"." After the communicator was silent for a moment, the same soft answer came out:

"There are about three cameras and two monitors in the living room, and there are no dead spots for surveillance. You also have two cameras and a bug in each of your bedrooms, yes, and there are cameras in your toilets."

"I knew it~" Chen Entropy crossed his fingers and leaned forward, pretending to be very interested in the TV content.

"Also, the city's network firewall is constantly interfering with me." Hekalis continued:

"Now I can only provide you with the most basic assistance, such as hacking a few cameras or something. If it is impossible for me to hack into their government system, don't expect too much from me~"

"Even you can't solve these firewalls?" Chen Entropy asked curiously.

"Their firewall level is much stronger than the cracked copper and iron of Yehu City. Even if I want to crack it, it will take too much energy." Hekalisi whistled and replied willfully:
"Seek good fortune for yourself over there, don't play yourself to death~"

When Baihu and Chu Jianlai heard what Chen Entropy and Heikalis said, they were shocked.

Chu Jianlai reacted quickly, and he quickly sat down beside Chen Entropy, pretending to be interested in TV, but actually asked quietly:
"They actually put cameras in our room?"

"Remember that I told you why you had to install mechanical prosthetics on yourself before entering this city?" Chen Entropy asked back with no surprise.

"Because... the king can monitor us through the mechanical prosthetic limbs on the people." White Fox replied.

"That's right, this is just one of the methods used by the Sky City Government to monitor the people." Chen Entropy squeezed his chin and explained seriously:

"As you can see, this city is not as beautiful as it appears on the surface. You should have seen it carefully from the tourist rules and the political posters all over the street."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Entropy ordered seriously: "Take a look and see if the phone can be used normally?"

Baihu and Chu Jianlai turned on their phones one after another, and their expressions became strange.

Their mobile phone signals seemed to be interfered, and they couldn't get through to outside calls.

At the same time, they found that they could not log in to websites or social platforms such as Twitter, as if they were blocked.

Instead, they are forced to log in to a website called "Sky City Observer Network" after entering the web browser.

This website is the official website of the Sky City Government. Except for some news announcements, most of the rest are articles praising the king and the government. The fanaticism between the lines can almost be called "brainwashing". All the embarrassments were committed.

"Not only for tourists like us, but also for the residents of their own cities." Chen Entropy stretched his waist and explained seriously:

"According to the regulations of Sky City, whether it is on the street or in the homes of residents, the government will force the installation of small cameras and bugs"

"Not only that, the government also has a law enforcement organization called the "Secret Police", which is probably a group of plainclothes agents who disguise themselves as ordinary people and hide among the people to monitor their words and deeds. "

"Moreover, people's online socializing and entertainment methods will be strictly restricted by the government. They can't contact the outside world, and what they can see every day is only what the sky city government wants them to see."

"Hey, isn't this more terrifying than the chaebols in Yeshu City?!" The white fox trembled in fright, and couldn't help sighing.

Although Yeshu City is not a good place, such an extreme situation will never happen.Compared with Sky City, Yeshu City can be regarded as a veritable "City of Freedom".

"The chaebols in Yeshu City are just a group of businessmen who each get what they need, and of course there is no comparison between the two." Chen Entropy said:
"The Chaebol Federation doesn't care whether the people are loyal to them or not. They only care about how to get the most benefits from the people. In contrast, the government of the sky city is a dictator in the true sense, so they care so much about the people's thoughts. .”

"Their desire to control the people is so strong, it is outrageous that they even have to control the people's thoughts. They hope that the people will always remain loyal and will never betray the city"

"The most interesting thing is that after being baptized by these rules for so long, the people of Sky City have long been accustomed to these terrible rules, and even regard this kind of life that must be cautious in words and deeds as the norm."

"Then why don't these people escape?" Baihu wondered:

"If I live in such a strange place, I will definitely find a way to escape!"

"They can't escape, because this is a city floating in the sky, and every spaceship harbor that leaves the city is controlled by the government." Chen Entropy said:
"And after the nuclear war, the outside of the city has become so dangerous. Even if ordinary people escape, they will be greeted by harsh environments and mutated beasts."

"That's why the government of Sky City dares to rule the people in such an extreme way?" Chu Jianlai stared at the TV screen and fell silent:
"It's really hard to describe."

"But none of this has anything to do with me. I'm just here to investigate the alchemy workshop~" Chen Entropy whistled easily, and continued to look at the TV, trying to fool the monitors who were hiding behind the cameras.

In a monitoring room, several staff members in uniform hung in front of the wall of the monitoring screen, scanning each screen over and over again like a robot, as if they were tireless.

These pictures cover every corner of the city, and everyone's every move in the city is monitored by them.

At some point, a girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old walked into the monitoring room.

The girl has fiery red curly hair, a pretty face and a bit of heroism.She was wearing a gorgeous attire that showed her aristocratic status, and traces of mechanical transformation could be faintly seen on the skin of her hands exposed outside the cuffs.

The staff in the monitoring room did not express any disgust at the girl's appearance, but bowed respectfully and said:

"Good evening, Princess Setia!"

The girl known as "Princess Setia" nodded and asked calmly:

"I heard from the Ministry of Tourism that there are a few tourists in this city today."

"Yes, Princess Setia!" The surveillance staff quickly reported the work situation to her:
"There is nothing abnormal about them at present, but the sound of the TV is turned up a bit, maybe their ears are not working well."

Princess Setia hummed softly and nodded, and walked quickly to the monitoring screen where it was reflected.

Looking at the images of the three tourists on the surveillance screen, Setia suddenly gasped, as if she had been frightened.

"Princess, what's the matter with you?" The surveillance personnel stepped forward and asked with concern.

"Focus on your work and don't ask about things you shouldn't ask." Setia shook her head and told the staff seriously:

"Keep an eye on them, the glory of the sky be with you!"

"The glory of the sky is with us!" The staff in the monitoring room stood at attention and saluted in unison.
