In less than a day, he came from the most remote and desolate area of Luogong City to the most prosperous urban business district. Although the time was not long, the gap was too huge, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"You're young, but you still don't believe me. You're curious because you haven't seen much." Bao Feng followed him and glanced at the wide, bustling streets. "Just like where there's light, there's shadow. A city can't be full of bustling streets. There are also many unknown, dark corners."
"It's like the Earth is in a very dark age. Outside the fortified city, there's only polluted air and soil, making it difficult for humans to survive. Only within this city can this seemingly prosperous existence be maintained."
After all, there are only a few fortified cities in this world, and the vast majority are polluted lands that are uninhabitable for humans.
"I've heard of these things, but I've never seen them myself before, so it feels different." Chen Ao shook his head, his expression changed again. "But precisely because of this, I feel the burden on my shoulders is very heavy. I must protect this hard-earned peace and prosperity."
When the War of Destruction just ended, the surviving humans stayed in underground shelters for so many years before returning to the surface to explore the land and build cities. Countless pioneers came forward one after another, and only then did we have the current impregnable city that can shelter millions of humans.
This is an extremely difficult process and cannot be destroyed by monsters from outside the domain.
"Alright, alright, stop talking about saving the world all the time. Don't you think people passing by look at you strangely?"
Feng Bao waved his hand impatiently. He was not impressed by Chen Ao's speech about salvation. He felt that this guy seemed to have been brainwashed, and his mind was full of things like justice, responsibility, and salvation.
“…”
Chen Ao glanced at the passers-by waiting for the red light not far away. Those people seemed to have heard what he had just said and were looking at him as if he were a fool.
This group of ignorant mortals.
Saying such things when one has no ability is called a "Chuunibyou," but he is not like that. He has great abilities, so he has to bear heavier responsibilities.
But Chen Ao's personality is now very noble and righteous. His mind is full of saving the world, and he has no time to care about anything else. He didn't even bother his ex-girlfriend who ran away with someone else, let alone passers-by who laughed at him.
"Well, I'll keep a low profile."
He lowered his voice and spoke to the storm.
Baobao didn't say much, but only walked towards the sidewalk after seeing the light on the opposite road turn green.
Their destination was a very famous internet-famous milk tea shop in a commercial area somewhere in Qianyu District.
The owner used to be a wandering singer. He became famous on a misery competition program and gained a lot of fans. After that, he officially released two albums and then retired. He opened a milk tea shop in the downtown area here. He would occasionally appear at night and sing songs for the customers passing by.
Generally, only some students like to come here, most of whom are girls who come here for the purpose of chasing stars, not just to drink milk tea.
Feng Bao and Chen Ao walked one after the other through the dazzling array of shops, and they deeply experienced the pain of being in a crowded place.
The area of Luogong City is not large, but it is not small either. According to the basic principles of the city, the more prosperous the area, the higher the population density, and vice versa.
This famous commercial district is popular during peak hours such as after get off work and school, when many senior white-collar workers and college students appear here. Luxury cars pass by from time to time, attracting a lot of onlookers.
Chen Ao had pursued this kind of materialistic life of feasting and drinking when he was still an office worker, but things are different now. When he sees some young and beautiful girls and luxurious high-end cars, he no longer has too much desire.
His current pursuit and desire is simple, that is to defeat the monsters from outside the domain, protect this prosperous city, and save this crumbling world instead of letting it be destroyed.
As for Feng Bao, she was very interested in those sparkling jewelry stores, but seeing Chen Ao's anxious look, she knew that she didn't have time to visit these stores, so she could only show a somewhat disappointed expression.
“Here! Here!”
When they arrived at their destination, a very sweet and childish voice came from the corner of the store, and a young girl dressed very fashionably was seen waving at them.
"Yo... Is this 'Demon Rabbit' or 'Coast'?"
Feng Bao glanced at the trendy hot girl and whistled. Then he pushed open the glass door and whispered to Chen Ao beside him.
"The intelligence indicates that Coast is a man, and this girl should be the Demon Rabbit."
Chen Ao said with some uncertainty.
Not far away, this young girl with big wavy hair and a few strands of gold highlights, wearing a tank top and a short skirt with a trendy brand logo, black stockings, high heels, and a limited edition platinum bag with a luxury brand logo slung across her body, with long and curly eyelashes, bright red eye shadow, and sparkling decorations on her cheeks, is actually an awakened person with powerful strength?
Although it was strange enough that Storm was the bar owner, it was not too shocking that a young hot awakener had come.
These chosen warriors are not the conventional social elites, so why are there all these weird people?
If a short, ugly, fat guy holding a pornographic book came and said he was "Hai'an", Chen Ao would no longer have the slightest doubt or surprise.
"She looks super rich!" Bao Bao exclaimed as he slowly walked inside. "Look at that bag she's carrying. If it's authentic, it would cost at least 150,000 yuan! And she's wearing all trendy brands or luxury goods. Look at the logo on her over-the-knee socks. They're all from Fao. They're worth at least a thousand yuan! And that necklace..."
Are most women interested in these accessories and bags? Before the storm, they were quite indifferent, but now they are interested in these external items.
Chen Ao rolled his eyes imperceptibly. He felt deeply disdainful of someone as powerful as an Awakener still indulging in material possessions. However, after hearing the price, he was also astonished by the valuables on this young hottie. "Is it really that expensive?"
When he was working before, his five-year salary combined was less than 150,000 yuan, and he couldn't save that much even if he didn't eat or drink.
I didn’t expect it was only worth the price of a limited edition bag.
Sure enough, there is a huge difference in the quality of life between people.
"Yes, yes." Feng Bao laughed, twisted his waist, and sat down directly in front of the hot young girl. He took a look at her white and tender arms, graceful leg curves, and bulging chest. He couldn't help but feel a little jealous, but still smiled and greeted: "Hello, little sister, are you the Demon Rabbit?"
Although she wears heavy makeup to pursue an inexplicable trend, her beauty is truly undeniable.
"Yeah, I'm the Devil Rabbit, and you're the Halo? I can't believe you're such a pretty girl." The tall, hot young woman smoothed her long hair behind her ears, revealing the exaggeratedly large gemstone earrings dangling from her ears. She put her slender fingers together in a handshake gesture, her smile sweet and charming. "Hello, my real name is Xu Xianxian."
