Durin's Diary

Chapter 839 Heavy Rain
After walking around with Xiao Qi, Du Lin felt that Shangjing was a strange city.

Standing on the avenue and looking into the distance, Du Lin could see a section of city wall built a thousand years ago. At that time, the people of Changtang were still working hard to build their own homes, and the city wall was their guarantee of victory over the alien species. But now most of the city walls have been demolished - because in the core area of ​​Changtang, alien species are rarely seen.

The remaining city walls are all used as defense nodes - near the sea of ​​Shangjing. After the four islands were corroded by chaos, there will always be some alien species and chaotic species floating across the sea.

So, under Xiao Qi's guidance, Du Lin saw the city of the new era intertwined with the city walls of the old era. The moss on the city wall had covered the concrete patches embedded with fiber optic pipes. Large sections of stainless steel steps and automatic lifting platforms appeared from time to time in the gaps between the bricks bonded with glutinous rice mortar. These new things anchored on the man-made creations of their predecessors could allow future generations to move up and down quickly.

As for the electric wires beside the drainage ditch, the swamps at the base of the city wall reflected the neon lights turned on after dark. Trams, rickshaws and vehicles similar to Du Lin's competed on the cement streets. On the sidewalks on both sides of the road, the sycamore trees planted who knows how long ago gave people an absurd sense of time disorder.

Looking at the anti-aircraft guns on top of the city wall on one side of the street, then looking at the dense neon lights in the city on the other side of the street, looking at the completely different clothes on the people in the crowd, and even more looking at the dense cables entangled between the gargoyles of the old houses with hip roofs.

Traffic lights peeked out from the shadows of bracket sets, and new-age neon lights were nailed to the cypress beams of old buildings. Du Lin even saw some holographic advertisements. He didn't know how the people of Changtang restored this technology. He only saw that when the wind blew, the dust would always carry away some electrons, and then the hologram would automatically repair everything so that the picture would not be fragmented.

Du Lin was in a trance, as if he saw the scenes depicted in the stories in the old-age movies in his previous life.

It’s just that the landscape is not the same and the color is not changed, the times are not destroyed by time. This scene and that scene may be an absurd scene on the screen for others, but for Du Lin, they are two different lives.

"Young sir, are these available in the Western Continent?" Xiao Qi asked, and the young man looked at Du Lin with curiosity.

"Some have, some don't." Du Lin spoke frankly. "During the war in the Western Continent, those green-skinned orcs even destroyed some countries two or three hundred years ago. It wasn't until the Nameless One, or the Master Wu you mentioned, stepped in to help."

"Why did Master Wu help them?" At this point, perhaps noticing the surprise in Du Lin's eyes, the young man gave an awkward smile. "History says that at the turn of the old era and the new, the gods descended from heaven. It was a time called the Year of Troubles, when the gods walked the earth. The Eastern Kingdoms were quickly destroyed by various natural disasters and the chaos brought about by the gods. Chang Tang was also severely damaged. It was generations of our ancestors who saved this land."

From the young people, Du Lin learned that the Changtang people still retained the most basic historical records. Although there were some fallacies, they were basically correct - at least Chaos was indeed brought down by the gods of Western Land - some of them were contaminated by Chaos. Director Sun arranged for her subordinates to leave the research center early, and she herself chose to commit suicide out of responsibility after being infected. But the scientists in Western Land were different. Some of them entered the life support chamber. While controlling the Chaos infection, Chaos also magnified the evil thoughts in their hearts, and eventually transformed into the Four Evil Gods on the earth.

If the Nameless One had not come and mended the sky, all would have been lost.

But after the sky was patched up, things from outside couldn't get in, and the weird things inside lost control from the outside and began to move towards a completely uncontrollable localization.

So the four great old gods appeared.

You say they are like the four hawkers, and they are indeed very similar, but they are also different. You say he is not as bad as the hawkers, then you are naive - after all, a mentally ill person never gives reasons when he goes crazy, just like does it matter whether a mental patient lives in Shangjing or Qiantang.

Du Lin followed Xiao Qi eastward and came to a bay.

This is definitely not Houhai.

Daju complained.

Isn't this certain? Who would park such a large ship in Houhai?

On the other side of the sea, there were many large ships anchored, similar to the ships in the merchant fleet that Durin saw in the Evercast Fortress, some were smaller, and some were much larger.

In the turbid water, many glowing jellyfish were swimming. The cargo ship's whistle could no longer make the seagulls take off. Du Lin looked at the cart not far away, and finally spent a little money to buy two large bags of French fries. Under the gaze of the young man, Du Lin held the French fries with the hands of hundreds of wizards.

The seagulls are going crazy.

Are you just trying to prove that seagulls really know how to eat French fries?

Daju asked. Du Lin nodded, then laughed heartily. He waved at the young man as he laughed. "It's okay. I was just thinking about something that happened in the past. It also proves that seagulls are not picky eaters."

The young man was a little puzzled, but he didn't intend to ask any further questions. After all, the abilities that Du Lin had shown along the way made him qualified to do whatever he wanted in his opinion.

Feeding French fries to seagulls?

This must be just an ordinary daily routine.

With this thought in mind, Du Lin and he walked across the bay and returned to the street. On the other side of the naval port, the young man had no intention of taking Du Lin there, and Du Lin would not seek trouble for himself.

But if you don't seek trouble, trouble will find you.

As soon as he walked up the stairs and came to the side of the road, he saw a convertible parked in front of him.

The young men and women in the car laughed at Xiao Qi beside Du Lin: "Isn't this our Xiao Qi? I heard that you worked as a nanny for a day, so why are you still walking around with this country bumpkin from the West?"

"Young man, they are all drunk, don't mind it." The young man looked at Du Lin with embarrassment.

"I don't mind, but I think you can drive after drinking here." Du Lin was not embarrassed at all, but asked very curiously.

"That's definitely not possible, but you know, everyone in this world talks about fairness, but some people are born fairer than others, like these children from wealthy families."

"You, aren't you also quite rich?"

"My grandfather's money has basically nothing to do with me."

Speaking of this, Du Lin didn't care - you see, there is no such thing as true fairness in this world. If there really was, Du Lin wouldn't have to kill monsters all his life, and so many people wouldn't have died in this world.

So Du Lin waved his hand and said, "Young man, come down and accompany me to a nearby teahouse for some tea."

In response to Du Lin's invitation, the driver stuck his head out and said, "You have horns and a tail, who the hell do you think you are?"

The spit landed on Du Lin's favorite calfskin shoes.

The next second, the five young men in the car - the two in the front and the three in the back - all sat on the ground.

Their car had already flown into the sea.

Then, under everyone's gaze, Du Lin waved his hand.

The entire car fell apart in an instant, and the pieces that were directly shattered by the space cut fell into the sea like raindrops.

Du Lin slapped the boy in the face with his backhand.

"Get down on your knees and lick it clean."
