“Mingcheng is one of the second batch of cities to be rebuilt after the disaster. Although it ranks low among first-tier cities and is far inferior to big cities like Shanghai and Beijing, it is at least the size of seven or eight Jingcheng.”
The raging sandstorm was gradually thinning. Shen Qian leaned close to the window, looking at the faint outline of the city in the distance. Ouyang Fei, standing beside him, smiled and gave a brief explanation.
If Lucheng is excluded, this is the first time that Tu Bie has visited another city before he went to the southwestern province, and it is the capital of the first province. Naturally, he is curious.
About ten kilometers from Mingcheng, the sandstorm completely disappeared, isolated by an invisible protective shield. What came into view was an endless expanse of green fields and vast stretches of vibrant orchards.
Armored vehicles stopped one after another along the roadside. As the doors opened, the eager students from Jingcheng rushed out of the vehicles, exclaiming in surprise at the greenery along the roadside.
Many people couldn't wait to take out their wristbands to take pictures.
Jingcheng also has a vegetable and fruit growing area, but it is only a small area in the north of the city. Most of the grain is imported from other regions. Most of the teenagers here have only seen similar scenes in movies.
In addition, the journey through the restricted area took about three hours without any incidents or dangers, and they didn't even encounter a single monster. At this moment, the scenery suddenly changed, and everyone was very excited.
Even before sinking, it was no exception.
He casually snapped a few photos, first sharing them with his parents, and then sending them to Ding Yi.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Qian still shared it with Huo Ling'er, and then simply sent a few pictures to Eighth Senior Sister and Xiao Xuan as well.
...Well, what can we do when we're all just country bumpkins?
However, Shen Qian guessed that Eighth Senior Sister must be very knowledgeable.
The bracelet vibrated, and when Chen Qian looked at it, he was surprised to find that his eighth senior sister had replied instantly.
"Beautiful."
In short, he seemed very aloof.
Just as Shen Qian was about to put the bracelet away, Ji Ruoshui's message arrived again.
"I……"
"Not very good at..."
"Use the bracelet..."
"so"
"I type slowly."
Eighth Sister, aren't you living such an outdated life?
But Shen Qian immediately thought of his eighth senior sister's room, and it seemed that he really didn't see any electronic products, not even a lamp.
"I haven't seen such scenery in many years, thank you."
About a minute later, my eighth senior sister sent another message.
Shen Qian stared blankly at the message until he heard Song Ben's voice in his ear.
"Young man Chenqian, we're heading back to the barracks now. We wish you all the best in your college entrance exams and hope you bring glory to Jingcheng!"
Shen Qian turned around, looked at the cheerful young man in military uniform in front of him, and asked in confusion, "Brother Song, aren't you going into the city?"
"We are in a field unit, and we cannot enter the city without military orders."
Song Ben shook his head and smiled, "Now we have to return to our base. People from the Provincial Department of Education will send a car to pick you up and take you into the city."
"That's a real shame. I was hoping to have another good chat with Brother Song," Shen Qian said.
"It's alright, I'll come back when you're heading back," Song Ben laughed. "I'll be on vacation then, so when I get back to Jingcheng, I'll call my brother, and we'll drink until we drop!"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Shen Qian shook hands with Song Ben, then bumped shoulders with him, and said goodbye.
"All officers of the Right Wing Battalion, salute!"
The commander surnamed Sun roared, like thunder rising from the ground.
All the non-commissioned officers instantly stood at attention and saluted the students of Jingcheng.
The synchronized movements left the teachers and students present somewhat in awe.
"Board the vehicle and return to camp!"
Captain Sun roared again, and all the soldiers quickly boarded the vehicles. The armored vehicles turned around and soon disappeared in an orderly fashion into the sandstorm outside the protective shield.
"Serving in the army has its joys and sorrows, but the question is, from whom do you serve?"
Ouyang Fei was clearly captivated and couldn't help but exclaim, "A true man should live like this!"
"Oh, you're really going to work in the military?" Gu Zifang teased from the side. "Your Ouyang family has only had one son for three generations. Will your old man agree to this?"
"It's my life, of course I'm in charge!"
Ouyang Fei watched the dust kicked up by the armored vehicle as it drove away, then clenched his fist and said, "I'm definitely going to this military facility."
Shen Qian remained silent, but his emotions were also somewhat affected.
Before long, the sound of car engines filled the air, and about twenty buses came from the direction of leaving the city; it was the Education Department's vehicles that had arrived.
At this point, it was no longer convenient for Shen Qian to hang out with Ouyang Fei and the others. He reluctantly returned to the No. 7 Middle School team and, unsurprisingly, was caught and interrogated by Wang Yangming and the others. He almost confessed even the color of his underwear.
However, although Shen Qian seemed to have said a lot, he actually didn't say anything substantial.
Lin Xiaoqian and the others didn't really expect to find out anything. Even a fool could tell that Shen Qian must have had his own experiences, and many things are impossible to replicate.
This is the scarcity of geniuses.
They were simply annoyed at being "deceived" by Shen Qian for so long; as for Shen Qian's frequent talk of "passing the imperial examination," they naturally chose to selectively forget it...
At that time, nobody dared to believe it.
After passing through fields and then through the thick city walls of Ming City, which were hundreds of meters high, the group entered the city.
Compared to the beautiful scenery outside the city, the scenery inside the city is not so amazing. At most, the streets are wider and the buildings are taller. If there is any unique feature, it is that the architectural style of the Ming City is very inclusive, and you can see all kinds of buildings.
The convoy traveled through the streets and finally arrived at a street lined with various hotels and guesthouses.
