Disaster struck, plunging the Earth into a period of drastic climate change, leading to a global ice age. The population dwindled, resources became scarce, and homes were destroyed. In response, governments around the world established nine major living zones, heralding the onset of a new era.In the year 62 of the new era, after over four decades of enduring the post-apocalyptic ice age, along with the establishment of political regions, resource wars, and warlord conflicts, the world finally witnessed a resurgence as the earth thawed, welcoming the arrival of spring.From the years 42 to 62 of the new era, governments of various zones began large-scale consolidation of land for planning, reorganizing resources, and fully entering the recovery phase. This period became known as the "Golden Twenty Years."It was an era where new zones emerged one after another, where politics set the stage, capital sang the tune, ambitious individuals abounded, and heroes and villains rose from all walks of life....August of the year 62, global map, northern Dragon City.A light rail train pulled into the South Gate Station of Dragon City, where the bustling platform was adorned with red and yellow Chinese-style buildings. Nine dragon-shaped sculptures adorned the platform's arch, and above the main building hung a sign reading "Welcome to the Dragon City Chinese Life Special Zone."As the train arrived, the station broadcast echoed inside the carriages, and passengers poured onto the platform. Among them stood a young man of around twenty-one or twenty-two, carrying a camouflage backpack, standing amidst the bustling crowd as he pulled out his phone.The young man, standing at around 1.78 meters tall, wore loose-fitting sportswear that accentuated his well-proportioned physique. With a face that was neither too thin nor too fat, and donning a pair of black-framed glasses, he exuded a sunny and handsome aura, resembling a just-graduated college student out on a trip.This young man was named Su Tianyu. His father was once a senior political staff officer of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Zone One. However, four years ago, due to political issues, his father was sentenced to lifelong imprisonment. Three months after the verdict, Su's father died unexpectedly in prison, followed by his already frail mother who passed away due to heart failure six months later, leaving the Su family in ruins.Su Tianyu's trip to Dragon City this time was twofold: to seek shelter with his second uncle's family and to prepare to apply for a public office position here.Inside the train station, as Su Tianyu was about to dial his phone, his right shoulder was suddenly tapped."Little Six!" A familiar and hearty voice resounded in Su Tianyu's ears. He turned around abruptly to see a young man wearing a white cotton half-sleeve shirt, with a strong and dark physique and a crew cut, standing before him."Second Brother!" Su Tianyu called out with a smile.The rugged young man before him, clutching the latest model of a mobile phone, sized up Su Tianyu before delivering a punch to his shoulder. "Not bad, Little Six, you've really grown up in these four years. You look like you could be a host at Charming Orient now. It's just that your physique seems like a weak spot, not suitable for entertaining older clients.""You're wrong. I've always preferred winning with technology," Su Tianyu adjusted his glasses and replied modestly.The young man, teasing Su Tianyu, was named Su Tianbei, the second son of their second uncle's family. From the way he spoke, one could tell he was somewhat wild and uninhibited, and could be considered an enterprising young man with rich life experiences in various aspects."Ah, you're doing well now. You're able to respond like that? Dad used to say you were studious since childhood, better than us. But now, with this kind of interaction... You've really taken it to the next level with your technology, haven't you? You're indeed better than me!" "Haha!""Alright, let's catch up later. I'll find a place to see your skills when I have time," Su Tianbei affectionately draped his arm around his little brother's neck and said, taking a step forward. "Come on, let's head home.""Why didn't Big Brother and the others come?" Su Tianyu asked curiously as they walked.Hearing this, Su Tianbei furrowed his brow involuntarily. "Something's come up at home. He's in the city area.""What happened?" Su Tianyu asked, pressing on."Let's talk about it after we get in the car," Su Tianbei sighed. The joy of welcoming his brother had gradually faded from his face, replaced by a sense of concern....The two brothers walked through the exit passage and entered the parking lot, where local souvenirs were being hawked all around, along with peddlers selling contraband and fake watches. The crowd was bustling, creating a lively scene.Su Tianyu felt that his older brother's reaction just now was a bit strange. As soon as they got into the car and put down their bags, he immediately asked, "What's going on at home?"Su Tianbei started the car, driving out of the parking lot, and said in a low voice as they headed out of the parking lot, "Your second uncle was arrested for smuggling firearms. The situation doesn't look good... Big Brother is working on it in the city.""Second Uncle smuggling firearms?!" Su Tianyu was extremely surprised. "Is our family involved in this kind of thing?""This is nonsense! We've had enough! Smuggling firearms? Our family was set up," Su Tianbei gritted his teeth and cursed, "The Environmental Management Association recently appointed a new deputy, who is from Changqing Corporation. This bastard came in and immediately wanted to redivide the territory, mess with our business. Our old man noticed the intentions of the higher-ups and wasn't happy about it. He joined forces with three other gangs from the South Gate area, wanting to cause some trouble and resist. But they didn't expect the other side to make the first move, setting a trap for our old man and the leaders of the other three families, and they all got caught.""Set up?" Su Tianyu asked."Yes, they're investigating us for breach of contract now. The police department is not only interrogating the old man but also trying to pin the case on Big Brother. And Changqing Corporation is also looking for an opportunity to grab our territory," Su Tianbei sighed, "The situation at home is indeed not very good right now, but you don't need to worry about it. We can handle it. You've just come back, so just focus on getting used to the environment..."
