Under the blue sky.

A crisscrossing intercity maglev fast track.

Super tall buildings with different shapes.

Everything exudes a thriving atmosphere and a thriving vitality.

A busy and orderly city is playing peaceful notes to every citizen.

There is a large open space in the center of the city, which is a transparent holographic image cover.

Inside it is a vaguely identifiable ruin of ancient Chinese city tower-style buildings.

On the glass cover about ten meters high, there were twenty or thirty eleven or twelve-year-old students among the tourists who came and went, sitting around the glass cover.

There is a very beautiful young teacher in the middle. The black teaching is suspended with a projection flying instrument, which is still projecting to image the newly added students who are attending the class.

The teacher is explaining: "Most of the local students in Chang'an City have been here, or some have read relevant information before. This war relic is the landmark and city center of Chang'an City in China - the Bell Tower. It was built in the 17th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty in ancient China, and in 1384 AD... Later, it was destroyed and five repairs were carried out after 1939... It was almost completely destroyed in 2042 because it was on the edge of the nuclear explosion."

Then he pointed to a deflated bell-shaped metal object not far away: "That is Jingyun Bell, weighing 6.5 tons! It was destroyed by the nuclear explosion shock wave. There are still very strong radio elements."

When the Asia-Pacific government treated and rebuilt Chang'an City radiation in 2049, it specially retained the original appearance here at that time, and only dealt with the scattered and burned corpses, in order to remind everyone that the cruelty of war and the process of human civilization have accompanied a lot of self-destruction, preventing human beings from blinding their eyes again due to hatred and desire... Students can also see the glorious images of the bell tower and the real-life replay of the nuclear explosion through the image inside the protective cover..."

Outside the city with dense lanes and crowds, green forests stand, but in the jungle except for settlements, you can occasionally see an abandoned road or building root embryo under the vegetation.

Although more than seventy years have passed since the third thermonuclear war, the number of human beings has not yet recovered to half of the pre-war period, especially in the Chinese region, which once had the largest population in the world, now has a population of less than 700 million. Moreover, after intelligent robots integrate into society, human beings' desire to raise the next generation has become lower and lower.

Tens of kilometers away from Chang'an City, Xianyang City.

This former Chang'an Acropolis has been abandoned after the Thermonuclear War. Too many limbs and bodies were buried decades ago in the dense forests around it. Although epidemic prevention and purification were carried out after the war, people seem to want to escape the pain of the past, or because of insufficient population, there is no need. Except for some locomotive roads, everyone avoided the reconstruction of the old city.

Except for a very serious Muling and monument next to the airport road, few ordinary citizens have arrived in this area.

But the area with the airport as its core stands astonishingly, with more than a dozen international top hotels and restaurants of all sizes. The luxurious decoration, neat cruise lanes, dazzling variety of lights and three-dimensional advertisements, the prosperity of the city, the dilapidated but dense bungalows not far away, and the lush green forests on the outside seem so out of place.

On the bustling central streets of the area, the hanging spherical mechanical guards everywhere add a hint of solemnity to the air. Children, baby strollers, school buses, police cars and other things are not seen on the streets, but there are all kinds of tattooed men and men in strange clothes.

One of the few women are either powerful women following a few robot bodyguards or charming women dressed so charmingly that people dare not touch them.

The reason why this place gradually became the most famous night capital in the entire China region after the war was because the abandoned airport was transformed into an underground gambling club by an international gambling organization called "Black Mud" decades ago.

Hotels, casinos, nightclubs, and red light districts are the same.

The spacious apron at the airport has become the world's third largest underground modified car stadium.

Here are the fearsome tentacles of gangsters, chaebols and politicians, as well as thrill-seeking rich people and a large number of young people who have lost themselves,

There are even criminals from various countries hiding here.

The only public security management here is the various hanging round mechanical guards with the black mud company logo. The barrel of the round dome camera with the half-covered bottom of the round ball camera is rough and calms down for everyone who wants to commit a crime.

Everyone here knows it,

Anyone who is here will not be brought to court if there is any violence or crime.

Instead, they were shot and arrested directly or rudely.

Unless you are a big shot in the Black Mud Group or a senior member of the Black Mud Club.

Therefore, although there are many criminals here.

But the crime rate is much lower than that of ordinary cities.

Indeed, the membership signs representing identity are only owned by rich and superiors, and ordinary people are rejected by the high membership fees.

But the government seems to be blind to those who do not leave the area, even ordinary wanted criminals.

Those police station drones never cruise in this area, let alone patrol police cars and police officers.

The rapid prosperity and development of Chang'an City are also closely related to this place.

There have been some government officials who are ambitious to eliminate this area and include it in their administrative jurisdiction. However, various accidents or personnel changes have left no later.

There is a rumor in the market that this black mud company was founded after the Thermal Nuclear War in the last century, and was founded by senior generals from dozens of countries after retirement.

Due to the neglect of the large number of retired soldiers by governments, they spontaneously organized such a club.

They come from self-sufficient and support various neglected retired officers and soldiers by operating some of the more profitable industries.

Later I heard that this organization had penetrated the military systems of various countries, and even the political circles, and had become an invisible behemoth, with its profits even comparable to those of the top ten major groups in the world.

They are not listed, so there are no public financial statements to know the profitability of them.

These rumors cannot be verified, but from the killing aura that permeates some managers of this group, you can feel the unique rigor and rules of the military. Even the occasional special army tattoos on senior waiters at one or two bars makes the bars here a much lower quarrel incident than the bars in the city of Chang'an.
