Even if you have already understood it in advance from Murai Kenji's description.
But when Lupine rushed out of the tunnel called the "New Loop" and rode on the open-air elevated highway, looking around, he was still shocked by the true appearance of Neptune City.
The entire city is divided into three distinct levels from the inside to the outside.
The "Sacred Mountain District" in the center is a majestic mountain! The shape is like Mount Fuji magnified several times, but the whole body is as black as black iron. Only the top part inserted into the sea of dark clouds glows with a faint red light like a hot iron, dyeing the surrounding clouds a blood-like color...
From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are many hideous and weird buildings.
Some are like attics, some are like temples, some are like caves, some are like palaces...
Lu Ping already knew that that was the shrine where many god-lords lived in Neptune City!
Neptune City claims to have one hundred and twenty-one God Lords of varying strengths and weaknesses, and they all submit to the strongest God Lord.
"The strongest God Lord..." Lu Ping's eyes quickly swept across the many shrines halfway up the mountain, and towards the top of the sacred mountain!
Because the top of the mountain extends into the sea of clouds, the specific appearance cannot be seen clearly, but close to the sea of dark clouds, there is a huge ancient archway.
There is a plaque hanging on the archway! Even Lu Ping could recognize the words on the plaque, which were two square words "南天", and directly below the plaque, there was a pale blue ice crystal hanging in the center.
There was something faintly hidden in the ice crystals, but it was so foggy that I couldn't see clearly.
"Nantian? Nantianmen? Does this divine master think of himself as the emperor..." As a Chinese, Lu Ping naturally had such thoughts in his mind.
But the surrounding area of Shenshan Mountain is a different scene.
Dense skyscrapers, cluttered signs with flashing neon lights, huge electronic screens with extremely high brightness, floating cars coming and going, huge 3D projection advertisements... These scenes all made Lu Ping feel familiar, and even reminded him of Dreamweaver City.
Even more prosperous and full of technology than Dreamweaver City! Lu Ping could see many different types of robots shuttled among the high-rise buildings, and the entire city seemed to be highly automated.
"Metropolitan area" is the name of this part of the country.
The metropolitan area is circular, surrounded by the sacred mountain in the center, and it seems as if the sacred mountain originally broke out from the center of the city... An inexplicable force caused all the technological products of human civilization to suddenly disappear at the foot of the mountain, forcibly creating a non-existent path. The dividing line comes.
Unlike Dream Weaver City, the high-rise buildings here are not covered in fog... I don’t know whether it’s because the clouds are higher or because the entire city is lower in altitude. In short, only the top of the sacred mountain is worth mentioning. Touching the dark clouds, even the tallest skyscrapers were not obscured by the clouds.
However, there is also no sunlight, and the day is like night, and everything is illuminated by the bustling neon lights of the city.
And further out in the metropolitan area is the so-called "tiankeng area".
Along the coastline, inside the giant metal wall, there is a whole circle of depressions! It's like the earth was hollowed out by land reclamation. The deep pit even goes a hundred meters deep into the ground. One side is next to a huge vertical metal wall, and the other side is a huge slope of about 45 degrees. On the slope... it's densely packed. Simple houses.
At first glance, it even reminds me of the audience area of a sports venue with tens of thousands of people. It is also a sloping surface with countless simple seats!
Tiankeng District, this is where the poor people at the bottom of Neptune City live...
From the inside to the outside, the Shenshan District, the metropolitan area, and the Tiankeng area.
The layers are distinct.
If you include the giant metal wall on the outermost side, and consider that Neptune City is surrounded by the sea... Luping felt that it was as if he had placed a rockery in the basin and placed it in the swimming pool!
At this moment.
Hideo Hamasaki's luxurious suspended sports car is carrying Lupine speeding above the new ring road.
The New Ring Road itself is located on the dividing line between the metropolitan area and the Tiankeng area. Looking to the left, Lu Ping saw the bustling urban night scene, while looking to the right, he saw the dark pits and densely packed bungalows.
"Hurry up, we're almost there." Hideo Hamasaki in the front row turned back with a charming smile and said harshly to Lu Ping.
The suspended sports car suddenly jumped to the left, drove down the new loop line, and began to slowly lower its altitude!
This was obviously a metropolitan area, but Lu Ping saw that many "stalls" began to appear on both sides of the street below his feet. However, the goods sold at the stall are not goods, but "people" kneeling there.
He has certain animal characteristics... his genes are extraordinary!
Hideo Hamasaki whistled, and the suspended sports car immediately landed on the ground. The jet engine retracted and four wheels stretched out.
At the same time, the car also slowed down and drove slowly on the street, giving people enough time to look both ways.
Several other sports cars also landed behind it.
Lupine saw that in one of the stalls, there were several girls with various tails in cages. They were only wearing gauze sailor uniforms, their bare feet were dirty, and they were huddled in a corner of the cage.
On the other side of the road, there were several strong men over two meters tall, with thick body hair like animal manes, and iron chains and metal shackles tied around their necks.
"These are aliens who have not been implanted with slave chips, so they have to wear shackles for the time being." Kenji Murai said in Lupine's ear, "Some people like to be 'wild', and do not like to be submissive after implanting the chip. It looks like the most interesting thing is to tame it with your own hands... you understand."
Lu Ping frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say much.
The car continued to drive forward.
Lu Ping then saw some genetically enhanced people one after another, but they were not shackled, but were kneeling directly on the roadside, with numb and submissive expressions. These should be aliens who had implanted chips.
The luxury car of Hamasaki Hideo and his entourage drove into this place, with its roaring engine and cool styling, attracting the attention of countless stall owners. They all suddenly became excited, either shouting orders, or waving their whips, demanding the alien slaves. Stand up and show yourself.
The whole street was very lively for a while.
"These are indeed average." Hamasaki Hideo looked back and saw Lu Ping's expressionless. He immediately smiled and pointed forward, "The best ones are over there."
Lupine followed his hand and pointed...
In front of it is a huge dome building that looks like a high-end nightclub, with bright lights inside!
There is also a huge neon sign above the door of the dome building with the words "Shannan Yiren Market" written on it.
Several people quickly got out of the car at the gate and walked into the building.
There are indeed more aliens inside, and they are all dressed up in different ways.
As Hideo Hamasaki said... the ratio of handsome men to beautiful women is indeed much higher than outside!
But Lu Ping looked strange, and the feeling he had just now became more vivid...
He also read a lot of comics or animations in his previous life. It is strange that young people in the early 21st century never understand the culture of Neon Country! The scene outside on the roadside just now made him feel like something from some anime. After all, things like beast-eared girls, minotaurs, etc... are very common in anime.
And here, some strangers were simply forced by the merchants to wear cosplay clothes!
In themselves, they or they are genetically modified people, with animal characteristics on their bodies, and their hair color may also show unusual colors due to genetic mutations... Then put on cosplay clothes, they are simply characters from anime.
Lupine saw a little girl with reddish-brown hair, long pointed animal ears, a forehead and slender animal horns. She had big eyes and a round face, very cute. Wearing some kind of explorer-like clothes, Lupine vaguely felt that he must have seen similar characters in some anime, but he couldn't remember it for the moment.
