Chapter 894: Escape From the Storm

Chapter 894: Escape from the Storm

Next to the old site of Condenser Town, a small temporary shelter has been built. The materials used are huge alloy plates collected nearby. The construction workers are Dragon God girls who are so strong that they can be killed. Under Lin's personal intervention , this seemingly shabby haven is truly indestructible: all the windproof walls are inserted into the alloy earth more than half a meter deep, and the welding between the alloy plates has almost reached the level of molecular fusion...

According to Bingtis, the exam was over when Teke and his people arrived in the town. The indigenous residents of this world were determined to still have the potential to move forward tenaciously. This was a very good result, and in the results After confirmation, Lin will naturally be able to provide them with some help. In this matter, the five members of the God Clan, who are usually unreliable, actually showed a surprisingly serious attitude. Even Dingdang, a kind-hearted man who usually saw an injured mouse, couldn't bear it. The little things who were treated by Zhu personally watched the "mortal people" struggling forward with an absolute bystander attitude on this difficult journey, even when someone accidentally slipped on the ice and was hit with a bloody head. This gave me a new understanding of them.

To be precise, it is a new understanding of the positions and responsibilities of these gods friends——

You can be rogue, you can be rogue, you can be unscrupulous, but you can never forget your responsibilities. "God" is not only a glorious title, but also a high-altitude position and a burden that can never be given up. When responsibilities must be fulfilled, At that time, even a small thing like jingle bell was unambiguous.

I don’t know if I’m overthinking it when I feel like this, because today’s situation actually doesn’t feel dramatic at all, and it’s incompatible with the thrilling or sacred stories in those religious classics. It may not be suitable for Tiek. He said that one day in the storm was the most intense adventure in his life, but as a third party who clearly observed the whole process, I felt that this was a group of tenacious people at the bottom who fought tenaciously in the face of disaster. , but a group of guys with great abilities pretend to be passers-by and watch unscrupulously... If you have to say that this matter has something to do with the Bible, that is simply too ridiculous.

"It's so cold. I've never experienced such a cold weather in my life. There are still ice particles falling from the sky. What the hell is this?"

Tieke's loud and gruff voice sounded not far away. It seemed that he and his assistants had arranged enough powerful spotlights on the ruins of the town, and installed the distress transmitter that was better than nothing, and then followed The light found us. After seeing this unassuming but actually sturdy windbreak, Tieke's voice almost shook the surrounding alloy plates: "Oh my god, what's going on here?" Come here? Where did you find these wall panels and stick them into the ground - who can't do it with a smelting machine?"

Tieke marveled as he walked into this simple safety island surrounded by metal plates. The wind was howling above our heads, but it was calm inside this circle of iron plates. Several small prism crystals were fixed in the middle of the metal plates. One-third of the place emits a warm yellow light, making people feel extra safe hiding inside. Tieke marveled at this: "That's great, little hammer, okay, you are worthy of being the only mechanical expert in the town." , you still have the smelting tools with you?"

"It's not me," the repairman nicknamed Little Hammer quickly waved his hand, and then looked at us strangely, "It's them. They helped build this. Originally, I just found a corner with less wind."

"You guys..." Tieke glanced at us. His eyes were very clear. Just now, his eyes passed over the heads of several little lolita whose average height was only over one meter. Finally, they landed on someone who looked like The particularly frail girl with cool blond hair can be said to be the least capable of fighting among our group, but what Little Hammer means is that just these few of them look like they need to fall down half the time to get to the fifth floor. The weather girl built such an almost indestructible windbreak. "Well, before setting off, Mr. Barnard said, you are not ordinary people. Now I have seen it. A big city deserves to be a big city. With this We, ordinary people, are really incomparable to our abilities."

People here often talk about "big city". What we have heard most in the past two days is this core city with various mysterious auras and rumors. In fact, we are not curious about what that big city looks like, because pl-15 has used probes to take countless pictures in the so-called big city. The giant city that is also composed of garbage dumps but looks more or less like a high-tech city is no stranger to us. What I am really interested in is What is the significance of the big city in terms of politics, religion and military in this world, and what is the ruling class of this world? It is impossible to know these things through the probe's camera - but I can't find the opportunity to ask directly.

But someone will always ask. Just when I felt a little curious about this question again, Busujima Saeko suddenly asked rashly: "What kind of place is that big city?"

At this moment, many people were stunned. Tieke scratched his hair and looked at us: "Hey, aren't you just from the big city?"

Saeko, who accidentally had a brain twitch, looked at me innocently.

"Ahem, we are from Dacheng, but she is not. She is my sister in the country. Originally we were going to take her to see the world. I really haven't told her much about Dacheng."

There are several types of people in this world who have unexpected appearances. You can see their active figures in almost every nook and cranny and in accidental events. They are other people's children, distant relatives, old classmates in their early years, and others. Sister from the countryside, these magical ubiquitous guys are simply the shields that everyone loves to see. Whenever you need them, they magically appear...

"And I'm also curious about what other people think of our big city."

Onee-sama turned her eyes and asked persuasively.

Without thinking much, Tieke shook off the ice and snow on his body and sat down on a hexagonal metal pier protruding from the ground. He took out a small heating object and placed it next to the pile of heaters on the ground: "Big City, I I have never been to the big city. Only Mr. Barnard visited the town when he was young. That place is not accessible to ordinary people. Only great monks and smart people who know how to use ancient machines can live there. In our eyes, it is a It's quite a magical place. It is said that there are terminals with unlimited supply of food and water everywhere in the big city. There are air filters around the city. No one does menial work. Those jobs are left to the big craftsmen to complete. There are ancient machines everywhere. There is also a huge hollow under the big city, which is the heart of the whole world, called the matter generator. The big guys manage the world in the big city, and also command all the spaceships in the world, yes, all the spaceships, those are magical big guys, The tools left by the ancient gods, only the smart people in the big city know how to activate them..."

Tieke was talking about the big city with a little longing. At this moment, Saeko suddenly pulled my arm: "Brother, I seem to hear something."

As Saeko spoke, the sound became more and more obvious. At first it was mixed in the wind and couldn't be heard clearly, but now it was clear. It was the sound of aircraft cutting through the air, and it wasn't just one person, but a group of them!

"Go out and have a look, maybe the rescue team is here!"

Tieke also heard these whistling sounds approaching quickly, and immediately stood up excitedly, leading a few people to jump out of the storm harbor. A moment later, he shouted excitedly: "Everyone, come out quickly! It's a spaceship! They're here, so fast !”

Several shabby-looking Imperial transport planes hovered over the ruins of the former Condenser Town, and the leader was a brand-new individual fighter. A sharp whistling sound sounded, and one of the transport planes launched two photon generators with floating cannon hovering platforms into the sky. Suddenly, a large area around them was illuminated like daylight, and only a circular platform was left. The ruins of Condenser Town were discernible under this light, and then these aircraft slowly fell down. The leading individual fighter plane was the first to open the cockpit, and what jumped out was a skinny little boy.

It was Glick who had gone to Chongzha Town to report the news.

Glick stood in the artificial daylight created by the photon generator, looking at the shattered town. He was stunned for a long time, until a shout from not far away woke him up from the shock: "Hey! Glick! Rick! Here! Everyone is here!"

Glick watched in surprise as a group of us ran towards him, especially after seeing me, he shouted happily: "Ah, uncle, are you all okay?"

Then I slid on the ground and passed...

"You brat, you just forgot about us, didn't you?"

Tieke rushed forward and hugged Glick's shoulders, then drilled the opponent's scalp with his fists. Finally, he stretched out a palm as big as a palm fan and patted Glick's thin shoulders twice, "Ha, you brat." , you can do it, you really are a hero!"

This warm reception made Glick feel dizzy, palpitated, short of breath, and one of his arms was dislocated. While I was fixing Glick's arm, I thought to myself that Tek, this stupid guy, wasn't planning to commit murder...

"The town has been devastated by the hurricane."

I patted Glick on the arm and said, "Be more open-minded. At least everyone is safe."

"It's the same in Chongzha Town," Glick forced out a smile that was a little prettier than crying. "All the above-ground buildings were uprooted, and the nearby metal processing station was even blown away...here...actually, I also I thought of it. Just hope everyone is okay."

It is really surprising that a child under the age of fourteen could say such a thing, but considering that he had shouldered the burden of the family a few years ago and lived in a world with extremely difficult material supplies, This is no surprise.

Of course, the vaccination given to him by Chongzha Town before should also have played a big role.

"This brat is a man. I grew up watching him."

Tieke said in a rough voice, patted Glick's head approvingly, then turned his head and pouted at the transport plane still hovering at low altitude not far away, "Those are the rescue teams, right?"

"Well, they are from the government and military. They just came from Chongzha Town." A glimmer of light flashed in Glick's eyes. "They were shocked by my spaceship! The people from Chongzha Town have been transferred to The storm circle is outside, we have to go there together, I heard that we will be arranged in a big town next to the big city!"

"Ha, that's a blessing in disguise. I can live in a big place."

Tieke laughed, as if things really made him happy, but the laughter eventually turned into a few dry syllables. He laughed a few times, but finally turned into a sigh. Look, Looking at the devastated ruins of the town in front of him, the iron-clad man shook his head: "Forget it, let's go and pick everyone up first... It's almost as cold under the cliff as here, and the old people in the town won't be able to hold on for long."

The rescue team brought by Glick set out from the big city. It seems that the ruling body of this world is at least very efficient in disaster relief. They use a very familiar transportation tool: the combatant-class small transport aircraft. , a kind of fast aircraft that is very active in the squad combat of the Imperial Army. These aircraft look exactly the same as the field models used in our army. The only difference is that they look particularly worn out, as if they were taken from the crashed mothership Gunnar. After Curry dug it out, he knocked and banged the thing that barely flew into the sky, but looking at the awe on the faces of Tieke and others, this thing was also very remarkable in their eyes. A combatant-class transport aircraft can accommodate fifty imperial soldiers who are big and round and have deployed their weapons. The space in the cabin is very large, and of course it is enough for the twenty or so of us. Because we wanted to go to that big city with the search and rescue team, we stayed with Tieke and others, temporarily acting as "refugees".

In the dilapidated and messy crew cabin of the transport plane, we finally saw what the "regular army" of this world looked like.

There is nothing worth paying attention to. In such a dilapidated and warless world, it is impossible for capable professional soldiers to appear. In my opinion, the so-called "government army" is not even comparable to what I encountered in the world of the Pan-Galactic Civilization Community. The most miscellaneous pirates wore the same style of coarse cloth clothing and carried a variety of small weapons. There was almost no military style in their actions. Those weapons are not psionic weapons, but conventional firearms such as various laser firearms or electromagnetic rifles. Perhaps they are products produced by the world's own "military industry". Of course, this military industry is probably also rooted in the Ancient machines excavated from the wreckage of an Imperial starship.

Shandora was more professional than me in observing. From the equipment of the search and rescue team soldiers and the use of facilities in the transport aircraft, she initially judged the situation of the world's grassroots military forces, that is, no experience, no combat power, no battlefield, and this The large battleships equipped with powerful artillery in the universe form two extremes.

Of course, analyzing these are what Sandora and I did when we were bored. To be honest, there is really no need for the army in this world to exist. The universe is so shaky, do they still dare to fight?

What is quite satisfying is that despite the worn-out equipment and lack of training, the soldiers responsible for search and rescue are very energetic and dedicated. Perhaps this is because in this world with a weak material foundation, everyone has to unite and devote themselves to work to ensure that The world keeps going, so here, "do your job well" has become the most basic moral principle.

Mr. Barnard and other people in the town were waiting for our return in the shelter under the cliff. As early as when the storm just stopped, Sandora told everyone that a group of rescue teams were wandering outside the storm circle, so the residents They are all full of hope, which virtually avoids accidental injuries caused by excessive mental pressure.

Ten minutes later, all the safe residents of Condenser Town had boarded the government and military search and rescue transport planes and left the dark storm zone safely.

There was no words all the way, except for the nine tails of a certain big fox and the small body of the mercury lamp, which aroused the curiosity of the soldiers on duty. The products made by the empire once again withstood the test in terms of quality. Those products that seemed to be better than The old antique transport planes that we all tend to fall apart first are actually in good condition. They safely and quickly transported all the victims to the nearest emergency relief point - which is actually a large food distribution station. One hundred and sixty-two from Condenser Town Residents and six to seven hundred victims evacuated from Chongzha Town gathered together to receive the urgently needed food, water and cold-proof clothing. Due to the effect of the black storm, not only the inside of the storm circle became a world of ice and snow, but also the storm circle A large area outside is also shrouded in cold air diffused from the lower atmosphere. In stark contrast, the upper atmosphere and the equatorial zone are said to be so hot that they are almost furnace-like due to atmospheric turbulence caused by thermal imbalance. The scorching winds were so unbearable that many towns had to go underground or relocate entirely amid the hot winds. Although those places did not suffer the same disaster as Condenser Town, their production was also severely affected.

When I met with the victims of the disaster in Chongzha Town, I discovered that Glick had become a man of the hour among these people. At the age of fourteen, he was driving a spaceship alone in a race against time to deliver the news of the storm to the upcoming destination in time. The disaster-stricken area finally gained a miraculous feat with no casualties after the hurricane. No matter in which world it is, this is almost a heroic experience that is enough to write home about, not to mention that the protagonist of this heroic story is only fourteen years old—— What an amazing age it is. A fourteen-year-old boy seems to be able to do anything. He can drive a Gundam and cut a nuclear bomb to save the third city of New Tokyo and maintain world peace. It seems that if you don’t save the world once before your fourteenth birthday, you will be embarrassed to talk to others. To put it bluntly, when I think about this and think back to when I was fourteen, I almost burst into tears: The thing I remember most about that year was that I formed a group with the fat guy and the glasses guy in my class to go brush Erya...

Damn it, you lost!
