Chapter 198⊙⊙!
Gu Chen blinked his eyes, not having a clear understanding of the deep meaning of the "name".
However, when he associated those four words with himself, an inexplicable sense of fit came to his heart, as if they were born for him.
"Hmm..." He murmured softly, thinking to himself.
After a while, Gu Chen finally couldn't suppress his curiosity. He looked up at the middle-aged man next to him and asked, "Where are we going...?" There was a hint of confusion and expectation in his voice.
After hearing Gu Chen's question, the middle-aged man raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and replied: "Mingdu."
"Mingdu..." Gu Chen repeated these two words in a low voice, feeling as if he had heard them somewhere, but he could not recall the relevant information exactly.
He frowned, thinking hard, and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Where is Mingdu? I seem to have some impression of it, but I just can't remember it."
Facing Gu Chen's question, the middle-aged man stretched out his right hand and gently stroked his beard. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Um... well, how should I explain this to you? Let's put it this way, it's similar to the relationship between Xingluo and Xingluo City, or Shrek and Shrek City. Even if you don't know what the Federation is, you should have heard of Shrek, right?"
However, to the middle-aged man's surprise, Gu Chen shook his head without hesitation and answered simply, "I don't know."
The middle-aged man sighed helplessly, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't worry about it! Just follow us, and you will understand it naturally when the time comes."
Gu Chen nodded in agreement, thinking that since that was the case, he might as well follow them. Perhaps during the journey he could gradually uncover the mystery of this mysterious city - Mingdu.
So, he quickened his pace and boarded the Soul Island off-road vehicle, and the group continued their journey to Mingdu.
⊙⊙!
- ...
After a long journey, the group finally arrived in Mingdu, and what appeared before their eyes was such a shocking scene.
The streets of Mingdu are wide and straight, with tall buildings on both sides standing in a row, reaching into the sky, like giant steel beasts standing on the earth.
The streets were bustling with traffic, and cool-looking, colorful soul-guided cars were flowing like a tide. They were speeding at lightning speed, bringing up gusts of breeze and noise.
Not only that, there are teams of mighty mechas patrolling back and forth in the air. These mechas are flashing with cold metallic light, like steel guards protecting the city, demonstrating the city's extremely high level of modernization.
Since a whole team came to Mingdu this time to transport important goods, according to regulations, they needed to go to the city gate of Mingdu to report in detail to the relevant personnel.
Although this process didn't take long, only about five or six minutes, it was enough time for everyone to take a break after traveling all the way.
Taking advantage of this brief break, some people hurried to find toilets to meet their physiological needs, some were attracted by the dazzling array of snacks on the street and went to buy and taste them, and some people took the time to deal with unfinished matters at hand.
In short, everyone is making full use of these precious five or six minutes to adjust their status.
At this time, the middle-aged man in the team cast his eyes on Gu Chen, who was standing aside in deep thought, and asked, "Now that you are here, how do you feel? Looking at everything around you, does it feel familiar? Have you been here before?"
Hearing the middle-aged man's question, Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head, a hint of confusion in his eyes, and replied softly: "I don't know... I don't know why, but seeing these buildings and streets, I do feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity. But when I think about it carefully, it seems like I've never seen them with my own eyes, let alone set foot here in person."
(There are few places in the world he hasn't been to, except for Shrek and the Holy Spirit Church. However, since he knew where the base was, there was no need to go. It's just that he didn't have the time during his six years as a child.)
After saying this, Gu Chen sighed softly, then turned his gaze to a corner beside him and continued, "But it doesn't matter. Whether I've really been here before or not, it doesn't matter to me. Now that I'm here, let's treat it as a brand new beginning and get to know this charming city all over again."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man's lips curled up slightly, and he chuckled. "Hey! I didn't expect you to be so open-minded. Do you really not care about your past at all? Well, I'm too lazy to ask any more. Oh, by the way, here, take these federal coins and choose whatever you want to buy. Remember, don't run around."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man reached into his pocket and took out his cell phone, ready to transfer some federal currency directly to Gu Chen.
However, when he looked at Gu Chen, he found that the young man in front of him was looking at him with a silly face, and there was a hint of innocence and confusion in his eyes.
In an instant, the middle-aged man came to his senses, raised his hand as if he had suddenly realized something, slapped his forehead hard, and groaned in his heart.
Damn!
Look at my brain, how could I forget about this? How could this stupid boy have a mobile phone?
Isn’t it just like talking to a cow what I said?
At this moment, Gu Chen looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a face full of regret. His face was still calm, and he asked calmly: "Why did you suddenly slap yourself?"
Faced with Gu Chen's straightforward question, the middle-aged man suddenly felt a little at a loss. He subconsciously reached out and scratched the back of his head, hesitatingly responding: "Uh... well, there's actually no special reason."
But in fact, he was conflicted. He couldn't tell the other person clearly that he had originally treated him as a normal person and wanted to give him some money for shopping, but in the end he realized that the man in front of him was a little fool and a person with amnesia.
Gu Chen looked at the phone in the middle-aged man's hand. For some reason, he also felt a little familiar with it, and almost subconsciously reached out to take the phone.
But this action made both of them stunned.
