There are no pedestrians on the streets of Shanghai, and only a few vehicles are traveling on the road.
In the past, this time was the peak time for people to get off work in Shanghai, with a constant stream of vehicles and extremely congested roads.
However, since the arrival of the cold front, the working hours in Shanghai have been changed. Some large companies encourage their employees to work online from home and not to go to the company unless necessary.
Lu Tian's car was driving on the road, and his eyes occasionally glanced at the city that was gradually becoming quiet under the neon lights.
At this time, the Magic City seemed a bit desolate, deserted and empty.
The occasional sound of car horns breaking the night sky seems like its struggle before falling asleep.
At the end of the world, the world will fall into polar night, and the surviving humans around the world will struggle in the darkness. The most terrifying thing is that all the infrastructure in the end of the world will suffer devastating destruction, all production activities will stop, and many resources will become non-renewable resources, such as food.
The environment is extremely harsh. No crops can survive in the ultra-low temperatures. Moreover, most of the soil and water sources have been infected by viruses and have mutated, making it impossible to plant and grow crops. Even if food is grown, it is unclear whether it is safe.
However, there was also a stroke of luck. During the heyday of humanity, a vast stockpile of war supplies had been stockpiled. Although much of it was destroyed, a significant amount remained. Furthermore, due to the extreme cold, the heavens and the earth acted as a natural freezer, freezing and storing grain and food. This stockpile could meet the annual needs of humanity's 7.5 billion people.
Moreover, after the end of the world, 80% of the human population will be extinct, and there will be less than 1.5 billion people left in the world.
The food that is safely stored is more than enough to meet the needs of this population for one to two years.
However, these supplies were basically occupied by wealthy families and powerful organizations. They lived a life of luxury, while ordinary people lived a life of hunger and even starvation.
The rich have wine and meat, but the poor freeze to death on the streets!
The end of the world can be seen everywhere!
The population dropped sharply in the cruel environment of survival of the fittest in the end times. When Lu Tian was killed, the global population was less than 300 million. In three years, the surviving population dropped sharply to one-fifth. The man-made disaster was no less than a repeat of the end-of-the-world disaster.
The current permanent population of the Magic City is more than 20 million. After the deaths at the end of the world and the elimination by the cruel environment of the end of the world, when Lu Tian was killed in the previous life, the population of the Magic City was nearly 7 million. It has to be said that such a low death rate is a great miracle of the end of the world.
In this life, because of his interference, the Magic City was much more fully prepared than in the previous life. For example, many of the fallen meteorites had been moved to safe areas by the government's army and police, and isolation zones had been set up to prevent humans from accidentally entering them.
The last time he was in the police station, he learned that most of the police in the Magic City were ordered to search for meteorite fragments around the Magic City and transport them to a safe area.
Although the effect of doing so is unknown, at least some risk factors can be eliminated as much as possible. When the asteroid hits the earth, it will trigger an outbreak of the evolutionary virus, and the number of citizens of the Magic City infected by the virus will be greatly reduced.
Lu Tian's car entered the city center. There were more vehicles on the road, and the stores were brightly lit and bustling with people.
Although the store was bustling with activity, there were no pedestrians on the streets, and even the most popular shops did not have long queues of people. Business was much quieter than before.
The car continued driving for a while and arrived at a luxurious hotel, Via International Hotel.
Via International Hotel is one of the three five-star hotels in Shanghai. It is a comprehensive hotel integrating catering, accommodation, bathing, shopping and entertainment. The consumption here can be described in one word: expensive, and in two words: luxurious. Ordinary people cannot afford it. The people who come in and out are all business tycoons, government officials and children of wealthy families.
The cars in the hotel parking lot are basically luxury cars worth millions, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. There are basically no Volkswagen luxury cars like BBA, because these cars are just luxury cars in the eyes of poor people. In an international metropolis like Shanghai, such cars are basically taxis and online-hailing cars.
Lu Tian parked the car and came to the hotel lobby. Yan Qingcheng had booked a table at the western restaurant on the 28th floor.
There you can appreciate the night view of Shanghai up close, overlooking the Pujiang River that runs through Shanghai from north to south, and enjoy the beautiful scenery, delicious food, and beautiful women to the fullest.
However, the rooftop restaurant is only open to the hotel's platinum members. To qualify as a platinum member of the Via International Hotel, one must have a net worth of over 100 billion yuan, which is known as the 100 billion club.
However, the Yan family's assets have long surpassed that. The market value of Penguin Empire has exceeded 10 trillion yuan, and the Yan family, as the major shareholder, has assets of no less than 1 trillion yuan.
"Lu Tian?"
When Lu Tian was waiting for the elevator, someone suddenly called his name from behind.
Lu Tian turned around and saw a young woman walking towards him quickly.
This world is really small.
After seeing the other person clearly, Lu Tian sighed.
The young woman was Yao Qingwan, with whom he had had an ambiguous night on the train some time ago.
Yao Qingwan was like a pure water lily, charming and beautiful. She was already a stunning beauty, and with some light makeup on, she looked even more charming.
She came in front of Lu Tian. The intense exercise made her breathless and her chest trembled and shook violently, making people glance over unconsciously.
Of course, Lu Tian was determined not to look at it, and even if he did, he couldn't let Yao Qingwan find out.
"Slow down, I didn't leave, did I?"
Lu Tian said unnaturally that now he felt like a heartless and unfaithful man, and people around him looked at him strangely.
Yao Qingwan calmed down her breath, and when she heard Lu Tian's words, her eyes became resentful.
"You also told me, why haven't you contacted me since we last broke up?"
After saying that, Yao Qingwan quickly looked at Lu Tian. Compared with the previous few days, Lu Tian seemed more extraordinary.
Lu Tian wasn't the most handsome man she had ever met, but he had the best temperament. His scent was particularly pleasant, making her want to throw herself into his arms.
Hearing such a beautiful woman complaining with resentment, the people around looked at Lu Tian with a common hatred. Many men looked at Lu Tian with hostility, as if Lu Tian had done something unforgivable.
Lu Tian was speechless. "Sister, can you please explain clearly? It sounds weird. It feels like you are denying your mistake by putting on the pants yourself."
"As soon as I got off the train, I was busy looking for a job. Life is not easy!"
Lu Tian explained.
When the people around heard Lu Tian's words, they suddenly realized that it was not a scumbag who was playing with people's feelings.
"How's it going? Did you find a job?"
Yao Qingwan asked with a worried look on her face when she heard that Lu Tian was busy looking for a job.
"Found it."
Lu Tian said with a smile, then pointed at Yao Qingwan and asked.
"What are you doing?"
Yao Qingwan's makeup was quite formal, and logically she should be at school, not here.
"Oh, isn't it graduation time? Let's treat the professor to a meal."
Yao Qingwan then remembered that she had something to do, and seeing that it was too late, she wanted to leave.
"Qingwan, why are you here?"
