Golden Summoner

Xia Pingan's short nap turned into a long sleep. Although the shelter could not provide a comfortable bed, he still slept in the shelter and stayed in the shelter for a whole night, which lasted more than 14 hours.

During this night, everyone in the shelter waited anxiously, and there was always only one message scrolling on the electronic monitor in the shelter.

——The situation outside is being controlled, and space invading creatures are gradually being eliminated. Please wait patiently!

At 7 a.m. the next day, a different message finally appeared on the electronic monitor in the shelter.

——Order in Xianghe City is being restored, and the space invasion alarm has been lifted!

The green light on the safety door of the shelter turned on, and the safety door reopened. All the people in the shelter dragged their staggering bodies and walked out again with relief.

——The level of this space invasion is F+. The invading creatures are demon rats and sandworms. The number of invading demon rats is 137, and there are 5 invading sandworms. We killed 133 invading demon rats, 5 sandworms, and 4 demons. The rat escaped through the river. We have sent a team to pursue and search. Everyone is welcome to provide clues.

The space invasion alert in Xianghe City has been lifted, power supply and water supply have been restored, and other public services are gradually being restored. Some areas are still under lockdown. There will be follow-up epidemic prevention and sanitation and disinfection. Please cooperate.

Regarding the casualties and losses of our personnel in this space invasion, further statistics are still being made. You can pay attention to the follow-up press bulletin.

——National Order Committee of Dayan Republic.

The moment he walked out of the shelter, Xia Pingan's phone vibrated again. Xia Pingan took out his phone and saw this message coming from the anti-space intrusion security APP on his phone.

Then, just after reading this message, Xia Pingan walked out of the safe passage and onto the street outside, when he received another message on his phone, from the owner of the repair shop.

——A magic rat broke into our company's workshop yesterday. The company received a notice from the superior authority that it will be closed today and tomorrow for disinfection and epidemic prevention operations. The factory has a holiday today and tomorrow, and will work as usual on Sunday. Everyone has a good rest. If anything happens, please contact us as soon as possible. Contact the factory.

Just after reading this notification, Xia Pingan's cell phone rang again. It was a call from Xia Ning.

Brother, are you okay? Xia Ning's tone was full of concern and anxiety.

Brother, I'm fine. Don't worry. How about you?

The person on the phone let out a long sigh of relief, I'm fine too. As soon as I received the notice yesterday, the school organized everyone to enter the evacuation shelter!

That's good. I'm going to rest at home today. I'll cook a delicious meal at home. You can come back in the evening!

Okay, hee hee, brother is the best! Xia Ning laughed playfully on the other side of the phone, seemingly not affected by this space invasion at all.

After ending the call, Xia Pingan put away his phone and let out a long breath.

Yesterday's space invasion must have caused casualties, but life is like this. Most of the time, you have no time to grieve for others, and you can't predict when the accident will come.

Countries also hope to minimize the impact of space invasion on a city and region, so they are very bland in their propaganda, neither concealing nor exaggerating the tragedy and loss.

Every time a space invasion is reported in the news, it is like hearing about a disaster caused by an avalanche or a traffic accident.

People die every day in hospitals. A small-scale space invasion will not kill more people than the number of people who die every day in hospitals in a city. And the number of people who die in Yan Kingdom due to traffic accidents every year is more than the number of people who die from space invasion.

Many people who walked out of the shelter returned to their vehicles in a daze and tiredness. If the vehicles parked on the road were not moved away within a few minutes, the fines they received today would make the owners tremble in pain.

Traffic police and tow trucks appeared on the streets one after another to direct traffic and clear obstacles on the road. Traffic in the city is gradually recovering.

If you don't pay attention, most people won't be able to notice how much the surrounding environment has changed. The casualties have been admitted to the hospital or taken away. The corpse of the demon rat has been cleaned up, not a hair is left.

Only in some special areas, you can see cordons set up, broken glass scattered on the ground, and potholes on the road that have not yet been repaired.

From time to time, you can see anti-epidemic personnel wearing anti-epidemic clothing and anti-epidemic vehicles on the road. Municipal agencies are already repairing damaged streets. Insurance companies will deal with vehicle losses. There are fire trucks or ambulances with sirens blaring on the streets. When passing by, everyone will silently give way to a path.

Many people who spent the night hiding in shelters yesterday may have to go to the company to continue working as soon as they come out today.

It’s not that people are numb, but that they have to get used to this kind of life and the intrusion into space.

Xia Pingan got on the No. 11 bus again yesterday. After waiting on the bus for a while, the driver came back and the cars on the road gradually started to move.

…

More than twenty minutes later, the No. 11 tram bus arrived at the old town in the south of Xianghe City and stopped at a somewhat old station. Xia Pingan got off the bus and bought some at the small supermarket that was open for business on the roadside. Noodles, soy sauce, and dinner dishes before heading home.

Xia Ping'an and Xia Ning live in an old community that is not old but not old. The surrounding environment of this community is not beautiful, but life is quite convenient. The community is very lively and the rent is not expensive.

More importantly, there is a police station at the door of the community. There are often police cars and policemen wandering around the door of the community. The security of the community is good. After his parents passed away, Xia Ping'an took Xia Ning to live here.

Xia Pingan and his parents were immigrants. When they immigrated from China to the Republic of Dayan in Beiguangzhou, they also bought a house with a mortgage in Xianghe City. However, after the two of them had an accident, the house they mortgaged was sold by the bank. Taken away.

Yanguo's social assistance agency once arranged for Xia Pingan and Xia Ning to be adopted, but both Xia Pingan and Xia Ning refused to be adopted and did not want to be separated.

After his parents passed away, Xia Pingan dropped out of school and went to work in a repair shop to earn money. The two brothers and sisters had not lived well in these years. The house Xia Pingan rented in this community was only a small house with an attic of more than 60 square meters. The attic used to be There was still water leaking, and after talking to the landlord several times, the landlord hired someone to fix it, but it had to be refilled every two years.

Xia Ping'an supports Xia Ning in studying art, and studying art is very expensive.

The two's main income now is the money Xia Pingan earns from work.

Fortunately, the social welfare of Yan Country is pretty good. Xia Ning spent almost no money to go to junior high school and high school, and there was also medical insurance for medical treatment. You can receive part of the population maternity benefit until you are 18 years old, and there will also be an education subsidy after Xia Ning goes to university.

…

Xia Pingan said hello to the security guard in the lobby of the unit building, and then walked up the corridor. The railings and handrails in the corridor of the unit building also had some paint peeling off. Xia Pingan took the things he bought from the supermarket and walked along the way. Climbed the stairs to the seventh floor, took out the key, opened the security door at home, and entered the home.

The house of more than 60 square meters contains some old appliances brought by the landlord. There are two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room and a bathroom. Xia Ning's bedroom is on the first floor, and Xia Ping'an lives there. In the small attic, two brothers and sisters lived here, keeping a neat and tidy little home.

The living room is filled with paper cranes of various colors folded by Xia Ning. There are also many paintings of various animals and landscapes painted by Xia Ning on the walls of the living room. These embellishments make the whole house feel like home. smell.

Xia Pingan was starving and had not eaten for almost twenty hours. The first thing he did when he got home was to go to the kitchen and cook himself a bowl of noodles.

After eating this bowl of noodles, Xia Pingan felt like he was alive again.

Outside the window of the living room, you can just see a beautiful mountain range in the distance. The peaks of the mountains are still covered with white snow. This ordinary scenery, in Xia Pingan's eyes, is endless, and even feels a bit magical.

This magical feeling can only be felt by Xia Pingan!

A bowl of ordinary noodles, with the scenery of the mountains outside, Xia Pingan can eat it deliciously.

The mountain range outside is the Qianlong Mountain Range of the Yan Kingdom, and the reason why it is called Qianlong Mountain is because it is composed of many small mountain ranges. The Qianlong Mountain Range stretches for more than 4,800 kilometers, almost running through most of Beiguangzhou, and is the best skiing in the Yan Kingdom. The resort is located in the Qianlong Mountains.

In Xia Pingan's eyes, the Qianlong Mountains actually have another name - the Rocky Mountains!

Since the Chinese fleet led by Eunuch Ma discovered this new continent in 1421 AD and named it Guangzhou, for hundreds of years, whenever China suffered natural or man-made disasters, the situation was turbulent, or when dynasties changed, a large number of Chinese immigrants came to China. Find a way to survive and thrive here.

The first people to come to this continent were gold diggers, and the legend of finding gold in Guangzhou has influenced countless people.

There are even more people who dream of coming to this continent to dig gold mines.

After hundreds of years of vicissitudes, today's Dayan Republic has become a powerful country with a territory of 22.78 million square kilometers, almost occupying the entire Beiguangzhou, and a population of 680 million. Yanguo is also one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council.

Shenzhou is still Shenzhou, China is still China, but the world outside China is already very different.

By the way, the Valley of Guanghua (Note 1) where the river flows from the valley into the bottomless abyss that Eunuch Ma named Guangzhou is suspected to be where the sun rises is actually the Grand Canyon of the Colorado...

The Valley of Glory still has the inscriptions left when Eunuch Ma discovered it.

With the scenery of the Rocky Mountains, Xia Pingan finished his noodles. Just as he was washing the dishes in the kitchen, Ding dong... ding dong... the doorbell at home rang.

It’s too early for the landlord to come to collect the rent!

Xia Pingan muttered, wiped his hands in the kitchen, walked to the door, and looked outside the door through the safety door without using the peephole.

Just at this glance, Xia Pingan's heart skipped a beat.

It was the man standing outside the door, wearing a black leather windbreaker and sunglasses, very cool.

Seeing this man, the image of this man when he killed demon rats and insects came to Xia Pingan's mind - this man was a summoner and belonged to the National Order Committee.

The man took off his sunglasses, revealing an angular and resolute face in his thirties, with deep black eyes, looking at Xia Pingan calmly through the thick security door.
