Chapter 1909 - 1909 The City of Deformities
1909 The City of Deformities
Alright, as long as the Dragon City civilization could prosper and flourish, Meng Chao could accept being covered in wounds and even die gloriously.
No matter what the outcome was, it was a hundred times better than the previous future, where he was abandoned by all his compatriots as a tyrant.
“I wonder what this future Dragon City will look like. Are my injuries worth it?”
Meng Chao was filled with anticipation as he pulled open the thick curtains.
Although the windows were inlaid with double-layered, soundproof matte glass, he was still dazzled by the colorful brilliance.
!!The outside world seemed to be too dazzling, so dazzling that it gave people a headache.
Meng Chao took a deep breath and pushed open the window.
Immediately, he was immersed in the colorful vortex and could not come back to his senses for a long time.
This was not Dragon City.
Dragon City was surrounded by rolling mountains, which looked like the horns of a monster, piercing into the high sky.
The city in front of him was located on a vast plain.
It was just like in the past, when Meng Chao had carefully chosen the city construction site for Dragon City.
However, this was not Dragon City.
At the very least, it was not the Dragon Capital that Meng Chao had in mind.
In the past, Meng Chao had personally planned for it to faction and the ultimate base for the Earthlings to manage the Other World in the next ten thousand years. The brilliant Dragon City was a towering city that was modeled after an ancient city. It was a combination of Earth’s technology and the characteristics of the Other World.
The main road that was wide enough to accommodate a tank battalion, the neat Ferris wheel, and the complicated but orderly traffic routes all showed the order of civilization and Meng Chao’s will. They were filled with a suffocating beauty of violence.
The city that was about to be flooded by neon lights in front of him exuded a barbaric and reckless aura from every corner of the chaotic city.
Whether it was the row upon row of tall buildings, or the illegal buildings that developed horizontally; The streets and alleys were still crowded with people and vehicles that constantly released ear-piercing noises, or the slums, which were only half a step away from the glamorous rich districts and were overflowing with dirty water, were crazily singing about the “freedom” or disorder of the city.
If the Dragon City of the previous generation and the future was a solemn city of ten thousand towns, the city before their eyes was simply the most chaotic, ugliest, and noisiest monster, cancer, and deformed child in all the cities from Earth to the Other World!
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes. It took him a long time to distinguish the overlapping, tearing, and intertwining neon lights. The lights flickered at a high frequency, and it was as if the information was going straight into the depths of his brain.
That’s all… The names of the nine super corporations.
Sky Pillar Corporation!
Soaring Dragon Construction!
Heaven Pharmaceuticals!
There was even Thundercloud Technology, a high-tech enterprise that should have been split and completely bankrupt decades ago because it was deeply tied to the New Blood Alliance!
No, it was not just on the skyscrapers and glass walls.
There was also the sky.
Although it was late at night, the black sky of the City of Chaos was twisted into a never-ending vortex that spurted information and extracted souls by the overly colorful artificial light beams.
The 3D light beams that blocked the entire night sky created lively and noisy worlds. In every world, a few handsome young men and women with impeccable temperaments were using the dazzling latest products launched by the nine super enterprises with smiles.
Without a doubt, these were all advertisements.
It was an advertisement that floated above the heads of all the citizens of the city day and night. It was so loud that it could not be turned off at all.
Meng Chao watched the messy advertisements for three whole minutes.
He found that the business scope of the nine mega corporations had expanded a lot compared to decades ago.
Basically, from diapers to drinking water, from ointment for athlete’s foot to portable anti-mage mines, they were all available for sale. They were also affordable and could be paid in installments for up to thirty-six months.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Meng Chao blinked. He realized the most important thing.
What about Superstar Company?
Why wasn’t there any advertisement for Superstar Company?
Although the Superstar Company had just been established when the Monster War ended, it was already showing signs of catching up with the latecomers. It was on par with the nine mega corporations.
The nine mega corporations had been implicated in the chaos of the New Blood Alliance, and he had received a gift from the Ancients from the depths of the ancient ruins, as well as the righteous title of “Battle God” from Lei Zongchao.
With this, Superstar Company should have become the most powerful enterprise in Dragon City civilization. He even had the chance to squeeze the nine mega corporations into a corner, which was what he had done in the previous future!
However, why was it that in the new future, he had clearly made a greater contribution to the entire Dragon City civilization than in the previous future? Moreover, he had worked hard, lived frugally, and had a noble character. He should have received the support of all the citizens.
Looking at the entire city, he could not find any trace of Superstar Company’s existence?
Alright, that wasn’t accurate.
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and searched for a long time in the neon lights that were wilder than the jungle. Finally, he found half of Superstar Company’s billboard on the facade of a ragged seven-story building.
The reason why he said “half ” was because the neon lights on the left half of the billboard were broken, and only the right half was still struggling to flash. Compared to the front, back, left, and right, the billboard of the nine mega corporations was extremely shabby.
At the same time, when Meng Chao’s gaze followed Superstar Corporation’s billboard and reached the ground, he saw many citizens in ragged clothes with white hair and hunched backs.
These citizens were like homeless tramps, surrounding a slightly leaking heat transmission pipe in the corner to keep warm.
They were surrounded by bags of trash that they had just picked up.
Their faces were hidden in the rolling white fog. It was impossible to see whether they were smiling helplessly or crying bitterly.
Above their heads, luxury cars that were carved with anti-gravity rune arrays and dragging glittering exhaust flames were roaring past the 3D advertisements that were both real and illusionary. This was accompanied by the deafening roars of crystal engines.
The scene made Meng Chao’s heart thump. He realized that the future might not be as good as he had imagined.
At the same time, the “buffer” in the depths of his soul was about to be completed, and a large amount of information surfaced.
Meng Chao widened his eyes and coughed violently.
In this future, his internal organs had long been riddled with holes or even replaced by artificial organs. His cough was like a flash flood, and there was no way to stop it.
