I'm not a drama god

The biting cold wind whined in front of the silent small building, like weeping and complaining.

Zhao Yi's hand holding the note was trembling uncontrollably. He was like a beast about to collapse. He opened his mouth ferociously and wanted to roar, but he could only make a painful whine...

He clenched his fist fiercely with his right hand and smashed it to the ground with all his anger and despair!

boom--! !

A wave of air visible to the naked eye swayed around, instantly shattering all the surrounding frost, and ferocious cracks spread crazily in all directions to the west like a spider web.

Zhao Yi took a deep breath, and several completely different and strange sounds overlapped and sounded like a volcano:

"...Who is selling coal in this city?!!"

"The three major chambers of commerce." After Dr. Yi left the headquarters, he wandered aimlessly on the road. He looked at Zhao Yi, who was about to go berserk, and replied slowly, "Just over the Century Tower in the center of the city..."

Zhao Yi stumbled up from the ground. A terrifying coercion mixed with murderous intent exploded from the black monster like a wave!

Those eyes flashing with strange spells looked towards a certain direction in Aurora City.

Praise -! !

A thunderous sound exploded, and his figure dragged out the afterimage and disappeared instantly.

Frost fragments were flying in the air, and Dr. Yi was still lying on the ground like a corpse, not caring about what Zhao Yi was going to do... He turned his head slightly and looked at Ling'er who fell beside him, his long eyelashes even Frozen together by ice and snow.

He looked at this girl who was as delicate as a porcelain doll, and deep guilt and despair appeared in his eyes again... If, if his research could yield results, maybe none of this would have happened.

The Aurora Base has accumulated more than three hundred years of accumulation to create the current Aurora Realm...and a small "pump" turned out to be the last straw that destroyed this realm. The science that humans were once proud of, and the material civilization that they once thought were sufficient to rule nature, are simply vulnerable in the face of the true unknown.

Dr. Yi stared blankly at the sky above his head. He had been at the Aurora Base for more than ten years and had not really looked up at the sky for a long time... But at this moment, he suddenly felt that looking at the sky on the surface of the earth was different from looking at the concrete slab at the base. In fact, there is not much difference.

What is the difference between an empty sky without hope and a dull barrier that makes people breathless?

Dr. Yi was silent for a long time and then suddenly smiled.

He fumbled and pulled out the pistol from his waist. Calmly and desperately, he put the muzzle of the gun against his temple and slowly closed his eyes.

"...this fucking time."

boom--!

With the sound of a gunshot, blood flowers bloomed in the abyss of despair, like countless screams that were swallowed up, silent in the world.

……

"Don't let anything happen to you..."

"It's enough for me to be unlucky alone, don't involve my family..."

Jian Changsheng was speeding on the frost-covered road. On both sides of the road, from time to time he could see pedestrians who had been frozen to death or fainted, or residents who were still struggling to find warmth.

He saw everything in his eyes and became more and more worried. He could only keep praying.

A burst of noise came from not far away. Jian Changsheng glanced to the side and saw densely packed figures crowding together on a wide avenue, as if they were fighting for something.

Jian Changsheng originally had no intention of stopping, but just when he was about to look away, several familiar figures appeared in the crowd.

"uncle?!"

Jian Changsheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately changed direction and rushed towards the crowd, grabbing the shoulders of the middle-aged man crowded in the crowd.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

"Little Jane?"

When his uncle turned around and saw Jian Changsheng, he was also startled, "Are you here to buy coal too?"

"……coal?"

Jian Changsheng looked up, and the first thing that caught his eye was a tower with a simple and majestic shape. This is currently the tallest building in Aurora City, and the road below it, crowded with countless people, is also the core of Aurora City. One of the avenues, but it was blocked by people... A little further ahead was the central district boiler plant that was no longer in operation.

I saw a dense crowd surrounding the boiler factory, with chaotic shouts and curses coming from time to time. Those in the front row were holding banknotes in their hands and waving them wildly, as if they were waiting in line to buy coal.

Perhaps because there were too many people gathered, the temperature here was slightly higher than in other places, but even so, those people's faces were turned red from the cold.

"Is it such a big battle to buy coal?" Jian Changsheng asked in confusion.

"Don't you know? The price of coal now has gone through the roof...ordinary people can't afford it at all, but in order to survive, they can only find people to buy it together and use it together. However, not everyone will cooperate honestly. Seizing coal, seizing money, beating people...this place is completely in chaos."

"How expensive can coal be?"

"Five million, one kilogram."

"Half a million?" Jian Changsheng's eyes widened, "Are they crazy? Is anyone really willing to spend money to buy such expensive coal? They've already robbed it, why didn't they rob the boiler factory first? ??”

The uncle stretched out his hand and pointed to the front of the boiler factory. Many figures gathered together, like a wall of people, staring at everyone who came to trade. There were even several law enforcers among them, with their palms resting on the handles of their guns, looking somewhat agitated. Not good.

Behind them, a man with squinting eyes was leaning against the wall and standing by the door of the boiler factory. His hands were still stained with a few strands of blood. A vague pressure enveloped the entire open space in front of the boiler factory.

Shinto owner?

Seeing this scene, Jian Changsheng's brows frowned more and more.

"Doesn't the law enforcement officer care?"

"We've been here several times...but in the end we didn't do anything. We just stood there and watched." The uncle sighed, "These people are very cunning. Someone just incited the crowd to go in and rob together, but they didn't get in yet." , they were all stunned by the squinty-eyed man, and there were no external injuries on his body. Even if you want to convict them of assault, you still can’t..."

Just as Jian Changsheng was about to say something, his uncle was squeezed forward by the people around him.

"Xiao Jian! Are you waiting outside for me to hear you...Uncle, I still have some pension money, enough to buy some things. Come home with me later, don't fall asleep outside..."

Before his uncle finished speaking, he was pushed to a distance by the crowd. The noise around him drowned out his words, and Jian Changsheng behind him didn't hear them clearly at all.

Jian Changsheng looked at those figures who were struggling in the tide of the times. In a daze, threads seemed to extend from their bodies, like puppets controlled by others, begging, cursing, and trying their best to survive. Go down, but in the end all the value is squeezed out... And at the end of those threads, what holds their fate is the greed and ambition of the superiors that they cannot see with the naked eye.

Jian Changsheng's fists clenched unconsciously, and he raised his eyes to look at the chimney in the center of the boiler factory that was no longer functioning.
