93: Nuwa City

The high-speed railway station was packed with people.

There were seasoned veterans and fresh newcomers, everyone's face filled with ambition; for them, the Pollution Zone was both a place of danger and a place to strike it rich.

Materials like alloys, body modifications, and Moon Soil Evolution Fluid all had to be obtained using pollution cores.

In fact, Musileke City was huge, but Xu Jingzhe had never gone into the city to wander around.

He stood there, carrying a shoulder bag, having bought a high-speed train ticket to Nüwa City.

Many people glanced his way. Such handsome features—was he a celebrity?

Many women looked at him with sparkling eyes, whispering excitedly. There was a girl with big eyes, bangs, and wavy hair, wearing hot pants and possessing a hot figure.

Encouraged by her companions, she put down her equipment and walked toward Xu Jingzhe.

"Hello, can we be friends?"

Xu Jingzhe didn't even lift his eyelids and walked straight away.

"Wow~ So handsome, I like him." The girl covered her mouth, not feeling the slightest bit embarrassed, and quickly took out her phone to snap a picture of Xu Jingzhe's back, saying, "Once I obtain a pollution core in the Pollution Zone, I'll definitely go to the Chemical Zone to find you."

This was just a small interlude. While waiting for the high-speed train, Xu Jingzhe's good looks did indeed attract quite a few people, which made him quite uncomfortable.

"Handsome, can we take a photo together?"

"I think you look like a celebrity."

"It's not just 'like', he definitely is one, sent out by an agency for training."

"So handsome."

The group of girls surrounding Xu Jingzhe acted like fan girls, and even though Xu Jingzhe refused, they kept taking pictures.

Many girls didn't know that this face would become their motivation to survive in the Pollution Zone.

Finally, the time to board arrived, and Xu Jingzhe got up to leave.

Standing at the ticket gate, he looked back. The massive walls of Musileke City stood in the distance like a dormant giant dragon.

"Wait for me, Boss, Fourth Brother, I will bring back the Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid to save you."

"Beep. Lu Fei, resident of Nüwa District, boarding permitted."

After boarding the high-speed train and finding his seat, Xu Jingzhe closed his eyes to rest.

Ten minutes later, the train started, and its speed quickly reached 800 kilometers per hour.

A man sat in the seat next to Xu Jingzhe, probably around forty, with thick, coarse, dark stubble.

He stared at Xu Jingzhe's handsome face for a long time and muttered, "Comparing people to others is infuriating. Damn it, if I had this face, I could just lie down and eat in the Chemical Zone; why would I need to risk my life in the Pollution Zone!"

"Brother, which main city are you from? My name is Zhao Miao, from Pangu City."

Xu Jingzhe kept his eyes closed and didn't speak.

The man was snubbed, smacked his lips, pulled out the headphones from the seat in front of him, turned on the LCD screen, and started watching an adult movie as if no one else was around.

Experiencing life and death in the Pollution Zone brought a lot of pressure, and the journey home was a time to relax.

The high-speed train had everything; if you could think of it, you could buy it with money.

Those who had made a fortune would just buy a private cabin, call a few girls, and relax all the way—it couldn't be more extravagant.

As long as you had enough pollution cores, the high-speed train could even serve you alone.

"Sir, it's lunchtime. What would you like to eat?" A train attendant in uniform walked over with a standardized smile, which turned into a genuine one when she saw Xu Jingzhe.

Xu Jingzhe finally opened his eyes and asked, "What do you have?"

"Chicken, beef, barbecue, vegetarian meals, etc. What would you like?"

"Bring me one of each first," Xu Jingzhe said. The food on the high-speed train was free, so he might as well eat it.

Zhao Miao took off his headphones and handed them to Xu Jingzhe, signaling him to watch.

Xu Jingzhe shook his head.

"Brother, where are you going?" Zhao Miao asked again.

"Nüwa City."

"I'm going to Pangu City, so we're practically brothers. How about it? How was your haul in the Pollution Zone this time?"

"Average."

"Oh~" Zhao Miao rubbed his hands and pressed a button. Thirty seconds later, a crew member arrived.

She asked very politely, "Sir, is there anything you need?"

"Arrange a temporary private cabin for me. Watching those Japanese videos has me worked up." He gave a lewd smile.

The woman was used to this, nodded, and said, "Please follow me."

Zhao Miao stood up, patted Xu Jingzhe's shoulder, and lowered his voice, "I'll pay the pollution cores, want to join? Three is more fun."

Xu Jingzhe shook his head again. Just then, the crew member arrived with the food, and he began to eat heartily.

Zhao Miao shrugged and left, scratching his crotch.

From noon until night, Xu Jingzhe kept eating, stunning the attendant who brought him food.

It was the first time she had seen someone so handsome who could also eat so much.

It was terrifying.

A day and a night later, Xu Jingzhe got off the train; he needed to transfer to get to Nüwa City.

It took a total of half a month to finally arrive at the first city under Nüwa City—Su City.

On the high-speed train, he had learned the basics about Nüwa City.

The so-called Nüwa City occupied more than a quarter of the Chemical Zone, and under Nüwa City's jurisdiction, there were twenty-six cities.

Commonly known as the Twenty-Six Nü Cities.

Among them, five cities including Su City, Nan City, and Hai City were representative, with highly developed technology. The metropolis among them was Hai City.

Exiting the high-speed railway station, Xu Jingzhe looked up. Buildings of various shapes were lined up densely, connected by corridors in between.

The corridors were filled with all kinds of vegetation, with birds singing and flowers fragrant. From time to time, large animals could be seen walking by; a giraffe poked its long head out, chewing on leaves with great relish.

Someone went to pet it, and it didn't get angry.

It was hard to imagine that humans and nature could coexist so peacefully.

On the streets, there were many people and many animals, but if you looked closely, you would realize that all the workers were robots.

The ones enjoying themselves were all humans.

Not far away was a large LCD screen. Xu Jingzhe walked over and placed his ID card on the designated spot.

"Beep. Distinguished resident of Nüwa City, Lu Fei, how may I help you?"

"Which district does the Ye family live in?"

"Beep. Your authorization level is too low to access this information."

Xu Jingzhe scratched his head. Back then, Lu Xiaoxiao and the others had left in a hurry and hadn't mentioned which city they would take Ye Zi to for treatment.

This meant he had no choice but to get off at Su City.

"Hey, buddy."

Just then, someone tapped Xu Jingzhe on the shoulder.

Xu Jingzhe turned to look. The man was holding a camera, wearing a black baseball cap, and dressed in a retro style.

He enticed, "Want to be a celebrity? Your peerless face is even more handsome than the hottest stars I see on TV right now."

"If you become famous, those wealthy women in the upper echelons will devour you!"

"You'll have money you can never spend, no worries for a lifetime, and you might even use this opportunity to step into the upper echelons of society and enjoy the best resources of Nüwa City."

The person who came was none other than a talent scout; Xu Jingzhe had been targeted by him the moment he stepped out of the high-speed railway station.

Confirming that he wasn't a combatant or a rich second-generation heir, he immediately followed him.

"Oh, right, your face isn't plastic surgery, is it? It's natural?"

"Those wealthy young ladies and rich women don't like plastic surgery faces."
