Chapter 279: Soraf
Domar is far away from Moscow. After all, the entire Russian Federation is vast and sparsely populated. It takes thousands of kilometers from one place to another.
Li Yi was in a hurry in the morning and didn't have time to eat breakfast, so he brought some canned food and a few bottles of water!
He knew very well that it would be difficult to encounter any stores along the way, so it would be better to prepare more supplies.
Li Yi did not plan to take the train directly, because the direction of the train was a big problem. He could only drive to Gappa, 500 kilometers away from Moscow, and then take the train to Sorav.
He originally planned to drive there, but Domar was 8,000 kilometers away from Moscow. Driving was too dangerous, so he gave up.
You know, the weather in the Federation is cold now. If the car breaks down on the road, Li Yi will probably have to walk back in the ice and snow.
Soon, Li Yi arrived at Gappa!
Gappa is only more than 500 kilometers away from Moscow. It should be a city with very developed economic conditions, but Moscow does not seem to have the intention to focus on developing this city, so Gappa is just like a small county town until now.
Fortunately, there is a railway station, which has made Gappa's economic development a little bit better. Otherwise, it may not be comparable to the small county town in the inland of Longguo.
Slowly parked the car on the side of the road in Gappa, and Li Yi got out of the car!
Wrapping up his coat tightly and feeling the biting cold wind, Li Yi admired these old Russians a little bit. It was really hard for them to survive in such a harsh place.
The climate in this place is unpredictable. Even if there is warm wind, it still makes people feel very uncomfortable in the car.
So after getting off the car, Li Yi decided to find a place to warm up first.
Looking around, he found that a coffee shop on the side of the road was still open!
In addition, most of the other shops were closed and looked quite depressed.
To be honest, Gappa is like a ghost town now, and there are basically no pedestrians on the streets.
Li Yi walked slowly into the coffee shop and found that there was only one young white man here!
After seeing Li Yi come in, the young man hurriedly asked with a smile: "Sir, would you like something to drink?"
Li Yi smiled and said: "A cup of coffee, with sugar! Thank you!"
The young white man nodded with a smile, then turned into the kitchen and started making coffee.
Li Yi was stunned when he saw this scene. This coffee shop, which seemed to be more than 300 square meters, had only one person.
It seems that this young man is both the boss and the employee. I really don’t know if he can handle it alone?
"Boss, are you the only one in this store?"
The young white man in the kitchen could clearly hear Li Yi's voice. He came out after lifting the curtain and said with a smile: "This store is opened by my girlfriend and me, but something happened at her home and an old man got sick, so I went back to take care of the old man first!"
"So that's the case. Can you handle it by yourself?"
"Well, there are not many people drinking coffee now, so I can barely handle it by myself!"
Soon, a cup of coffee was served.
Li Yi glanced at the newspaper on the table. The date on it was a few days ago. It reported that Valov of the Ministry of Finance held a summit banquet. The slogan of the newspaper was: "Our alliance is like steel, indestructible!"
Just a few days ago, when Valov said this in an unquestionable tone, what kind of mood was he in?
Has he expected the current scene?
Looking at the empty shelves in the supermarket across the street, Li Yi suddenly felt that even the shelves seemed to be mocking Valov and the senior executives standing behind him.
However, the lives of these senior executives are probably not affected at all!
Shaking his head, Li Yi warmed his hands with the help of the heat of the cup!
After drinking this cup of coffee, Li Yi stood up and walked towards the train station. However, before leaving, Li Yi threw a thousand rubles on the table and took the newspaper on the table away.
This thousand rubles is just a drizzle for Li Yi!
But maybe it can let this young man buy more canned food. This is also Li Yi's intention, and it can be regarded as the luck of the owner of this coffee shop.
You know, in this messy world, it is not an easy thing to keep a sunny attitude all the time.
But this young boss did it, and Li Yi didn't mind helping him.
...
There are few people at the train station. In this situation, no one is willing to go out unless it is necessary.
The whole process of buying tickets and getting on the train took about two hours.
The main reason is that the waiting time is relatively long. It took more than an hour for the train to Sorav to arrive at the station.
Fortunately, Solav, where Li Yi was going, was a prosperous city and one of the largest commercial cities in the Russian Federation besides Moscow. Therefore, the train was not late. If it were somewhere else, it would be normal to wait for ten or eight hours.
The scenery along the way was the same, and it looked lifeless gray!
Whether it was the plains or the plateau hills, it was such a lifeless scene at a glance!
In fact, it was similar here in previous years. Perhaps this year, it was affected by the collapse of the alliance, so it seemed more desolate and lonely.
Li Yi saw many people on the train along the way, all of them with their families. Some were going to seek refuge with relatives and friends, while some were preparing to make a living near Soraf!
Judging from the worried expressions on these people's faces, it seemed that the entire federation was in chaos.
When the train arrived in Soraf, it was already past one in the middle of the night!
This journey took more than ten hours, and even Li Yi, who was as strong as he was, still felt a little overwhelmed.
Despite this, thinking about what he was going to do next, Li Yi still felt a burning heart and full of energy.
But when he got off the train, he was shocked by the scene he saw.
The whole Soraf looked like a mess, with all kinds of debris on the streets, tables, chairs, and messy clothes, as if it had just experienced a war.
Is this still the heavy industrial base Soraf in his memory?
Why does it look like Afghanistan and Iraq after the war? What on earth happened in this place?
