NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1490 Akihabara
Fatty Xu almost jumped up. He looked at the others nervously and argued:
"No! I want to go to Akihabara and take a look!"
Akihabara in Edo is the holy land of the otakus. As a senior otaku, Fatty Xu was able to come to Edo after the apocalypse, so naturally he wanted to go and take a look.
Uncle You punched him.
"Chun Lei, what time is it? We are here to do something, can you please stop thinking about playing?"
Fatty Xu immediately lowered his head in grievance.
Deng Shentong smiled and said, "It doesn't really matter. I'm more familiar with the Daliangdu Museum, so let me lead the team there! After all, it was me who proposed this operation."
"Everyone can spread out and investigate the entire Edo Castle. Akihabara is also a very densely populated area and is worth investigating."
Zhang Yi crossed his arms and said seriously, "If you say so, there must be a lot of people in the Kabuki Hall."
"Ahem, that'll have to wait until tonight!"
Deng Shentong laughed.
In the end, Zhang Yi arranged everyone to form teams and go to different areas of Edo to conduct investigations.
He is in a group with Zhou Keer and Yang Xinxin, Fatty Xu is in a group with Uncle You and Huahua, and Liang Yue is in a group with Mu Yan.
Deng Shentong and his group of four acted in groups.
The crowd split into four directions and began to investigate Edo Castle.
Zhou Ke'er and Yang Xinxin were both wearing thick winter clothes and deerskin winter boots, with only their palm-sized faces exposed. They snuggled up to Zhang Yi, one on the left and one on the right.
They look like a perfect family of three.
Walking on the spacious streets of Edo, there were quite a few pedestrians on the road, and there were some shops open for business on both sides of the street.
Although it is separated by thick glass, the light coming through and the signboard lady at the door enthusiastically soliciting customers still give people a vibrant feeling.
It seemed as if this was not the world after the end of the world, but a cold winter afternoon.
"It's so good! This feeling."
Zhou Keer sighed with a smile.
"It's as if the end of the world never came!"
She suddenly hugged Zhang Yi's arm and said with a look of longing: "Zhang Yi, we can rebuild Tianhai City in the future! Let it return to its prosperity before the end of the world, what do you say?"
Before Zhang Yi could speak, Yang Xinxin spoke first: "At present, it is impossible! In terms of population, Tianhai City has only about 10,000 people. Moreover, Tianhai City has experienced many wars and has been severely damaged."
She thought for a moment and said, "But it would be more reasonable to replicate a miniature city that is one-thirtieth of the original area of Tianhai City."
Zhang Yi did not respond to their topic. His pace was not fast, just like other pedestrians on the road.
His eyes were always observing the surroundings.
Every building, every pedestrian, every shop.
"After the end of the world, can we really return to the way things were before?"
Looking at everything in front of him, even he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Walking along the street, a long time had passed without them noticing. Zhang Yi and the other two felt as if they were in another world.
At first, Zhang Yi even suspected that everything he saw was an illusion.
Or maybe those people on the street are not living people, but machines or puppets.
But when I got closer, I realized they were all real.
This also shows that Edo has returned to normal human society.
In fact, it did better than Blizzard City and Shengjing City.
"How on earth do they do that? I want to learn."
Zhang Yi couldn't help but said with a smile.
The harmony here can be called a miracle of mankind.
Unconsciously, he walked to a place with bright lights. It was still daytime, and although the sky was not very bright, there was no need to turn on the lights.
But in the area in front of us, the exterior walls of the tall buildings are covered with colorful neon lights. You can see them as long as you look up, and they are almost blinding.
Crucially, these are no ordinary neon signs.
The huge screen, which is hundreds of inches in size, plays magical girls wearing cute clothes, large-scale galgame advertising videos, and advertisements for various maid cafes.
"Sir, Miss, welcome to the lovehouse! Today we have an underground idol performance here!"
A maid in a black and white maid outfit came over and handed over a flyer with a smile.
Zhang Yi took it subconsciously, and then he realized that he had accidentally come to Akihabara, the holy land of the two-thorn monkeys in Edo.
There were all kinds of electronic sounds in my ears, and in front of me there was a bustling crowd of people. Treasure hunters with backpacks on their backs were going in and out of various comic book stores.
"Dad, let's go to that store together!"
A cute girl with twin ponytails and wearing black and white striped stockings excitedly pointed at the House of Love in front of her and said to the middle-aged man next to her.
The middle-aged man looked down at the girl and smiled indulgently.
"Okay, Airi-chan. Let's go together!"
……
On the other side, in a used shop, a woman with a high bun and wearing a blue kimono walked out of the store, followed by her tall high school student son.
The clerk behind her politely saw her out.
"Take care, Mrs. Gao Liu. Thank you for your patronage!"
……
Zhang Yi looked at everything in front of him and slowly clenched the maid cafe brochure in his hand.
Suddenly, the sound of an ambulance rang in my ears.
There seemed to be a car accident not far away. The injured were rescued by several teenagers and were being given first aid on the roadside.
The ambulance stopped nearby and a long-haired, skinny-looking doctor ran over to check on the patient's condition.
Then he shouted to the woman in a pink nurse's uniform behind him, "Nanase! Give the patient oxygen!"
"It's... Doctor Hirasaka!"
……
Looking at everything in front of him, Zhang Yi's brows slowly frowned. He always felt that something was not right, but he couldn't put his finger on it for a while.
The maid next to her was still diligently introducing the underground idol who would be performing today, telling how hard this young lady named Teramon Michi worked and how well she sang.
Zhang Yi looked down at the brochure and said to Zhou Keer and Yang Xinxin, "Let's go, let's go watch the show!"
The two people didn't expect that Zhang Yi had such a hobby.
However, since we are in Akihabara, it would be nice to experience the local characteristics.
So the three of them followed the maid into the cafe.
Unexpectedly, there were quite a few people inside at this time.
The cafe is not very big, with about ten tables inside. You can see some people with bandages on their heads, holding cheering signs and glow sticks in their hands, waiting here with excitement on their faces.
Zhang Yi and his friends were arranged to sit at a table in the back, and then the maid handed them the menu with a smile on her face.
The prices are ridiculously high. Even a simple heart-shaped omelette rice is sold for 100000 yen.
But money is not a problem at all. Edo still uses the electronic currency issued by the Neon National Bank as a general equivalent.
When they came, Deng Shentong used his channels to top up 1 billion yuan into each person's account, which they could spend at will.
However, in order not to attract attention, Zhang Yi only ordered a few expensive foods and drinks, but this was enough to make the smile on the maid's face even more intense.
