Chapter 5 · "They all belong to you."

Su Lin walked to the top of the stairs. The small door made a "click" sound, and several researchers inside the door raised their heads.

"They are all my colleagues - by the way, in the early days of the establishment of the Dawn System, their fathers were the conservative class who resisted the Dawn System. However...it is obvious that they failed, leaving only these children." Su Rin pointed at the person and introduced.

... Your introduction is quite direct.

Su Mingan glanced at these researchers, and there was no embarrassment on their faces when their family background was directly revealed.

If the new era replaces the old era, bloodshed will inevitably break out. Historically, the rise of Asa Akto, the hero of Doomsday City, should not be smooth sailing. If Akto wants to change the past rule of man, he will definitely receive strong backlash from the original ruling class.

That era, that time... it should have been a passionate era of revolutionaries living in blood and fire.

Rule by man and rule by machine, the replacement of old and new eras, secret keepers and betrayers, city-state rule and outer city peeping, conflicts between armies and factions... During this period, there were countless victims and idealists, and heroes emerged in large numbers.

History is always written by the victors.

Asa Actor was victorious, and the rule of the Dawn System was successfully established. Therefore, those conservative classes disappeared into the dust of history...

It's a pity that Su Mingan was not able to witness that most chaotic period of history.

However, his current point in time can be regarded as a new "changing era". Because Asa Akto is no longer needed at this time.

"But in this way, my age..." Su Mingan murmured to himself.

Akto has always looked younger. If we look at this timeline, this city lord rose from the twilight years and developed the City of Measurement to this day... He should be very old.

Next to him, Su Lin was asking the android for coffee.

"Both cups of coffee don't add sugar. Su Ming'an, you shouldn't drink coffee with sugar. I shouldn't have judged your taste wrong?" Su Lin said.

"I'm surprised that you keep pace with the times." Su Mingan said, "You even started drinking coffee."

"It's a pity that you drank one glass, otherwise I could have ordered you a glass of wine. Carlsa's rye is very good, but you will probably never taste it." Su Lin said.

"Yeah, it's a pity that you can't enjoy this kind of benefit, but the toy manufacturing industry here should be pretty good. I can order a batch of Barbie dolls with different shapes for you..."

"——Look outside." Su Lin said suddenly.

Su Mingan turned his head and glanced at the outside world through the window next to him.

Night shrouded the city-state, and in the distance was the Times Central Building in the core area, which reached into the sky. This 132-story cube building stood among the dark gray clouds and mist, forming a cityscape with overpasses and light rails.

Even closer, there are the 2 CCTV Towers flying past and the mechanical fist statue representing the icon of the City of Measurement.

Advertising signs are hung high, and product introductions are played in a loop: "Newly developed mood stabilizing agent by the Holy Church", "Jiejie Point Reading Machine", "Ajinni Refrigeration Refrigerator", and even instant noodles, instant canned food, housing People-friendly advertisements such as home furnishings and branded clothing...

Looking at this city of measurement,

——For a moment, Su Mingan had the illusion of returning to Zhai Xing City.

This is a modern city that allows people to live, take a breather among reinforced concrete, and pursue personal value and happiness.

People after the night shift board the light rail, white-collar workers choose hot drinks from vending machines, men and women dancing in bars come out to smoke and breathe, and drones carrying express delivery fly in the night sky...

"What do you want me to see?" Su Mingan said.

Su Lin took a sip of coffee: "Look, this city is beautiful. Most people are happy. You don't have to be limited to the suffering of some people - you are the city lord now, and you saved everyone's lives. They belong to you, and any ideas you have should be fulfilled."

Su Mingan squinted his eyes.

...Su Lin is comforting him?

Su Lin seemed to have discovered that his emotional state had been poor.

Through the slightly reflective glass, he blinked and saw a flash of scarlet in his eyes.

…

[Outside the city·dangerous area]

A young man with blond hair stumbled through an area that looked like a desert. This is a dangerous area, with turbulence and extremely harsh environment.

Noel passed by the corpses of travelers who had turned into skeletons, ignoring the survivors who asked him for help, and kept moving towards the outermost direction, moving forward...

Finally, after a long journey, he stopped.

He has reached the 'end of the world'.

"Ah." Noel stared blankly at the scene before him.

He stepped slowly, his legs and feet softened, and he half-knelt down.

His shoulders shook violently, and after a moment, he let out a suppressed, almost collapsed sob.

"how come……"

"What should we do, Su Mingan, let's..."

"..."
