Chapter 379: Nanshan City

Forest insects are called forest insects because they simulate monster insects.

Nanshan Castle is called Nanshan Castle because it is a mountain.

The simple and direct logic of thinking once again made Rob understand that people in this world are really random in choosing names, not only people's names, but also place names.

The whole Nanshan, upright and precipitous, towering into the clouds, the posture is majestic, the visual measurement is more than 600 meters high, one side of the cliff is broken, the treacherous and steep, forming a flat cliff, making it difficult for people to climb.

This side is outward, facing the wide and winding South River, and at a glance, it seems that the cliff is flat, with some blue and yellow stones and mud exposed, and some trees and vines are growing and climbing, which does not seem monotonous or complicated.

But if you look closely, you can find that there are actually many man-made buildings on this cliff.

There are staircases that are folded and connected, and there are eight-cornered pavilions. There are wide and flat platforms, but there are also hollows that do not know the function.

If you look closely, you can see that whether it is a staircase on a cliff, a freestanding pavilion, or a platform that extends into the air, there are small creatures climbing on it.

These should be the residents of Nanshan City, from here, from a distance, it looks like a swarm of ants, unable to distinguish gender and age.

Seeing this scene, Rob was shocked to realize that the so-called Nanshan City, could the entire city be built in the belly of this high mountain?

Speaking her own questions, Mo Zhaoxue smiled and said, "Did you know that? Our Nanshan City was built in the belly of the mountain!"

got a positive answer, Rob couldn't help but be a little shocked, such a towering mountain, can be completely hollowed out, let people live in it, this amount of work, just thinking about it, it feels amazing, people can't help but sigh, in order to survive, human beings really do everything.

"Our Nanshan City is one of the remnants. Excavations began six hundred years ago, after the day of the light source. ”

Mo Zhaoxue saw that Rob didn't know the origin and background of Nanshan City, so she explained carefully.

“…… At first, because of the simple tools, they could only hollow out the belly of the mountain and live in low caves, but later with the increase in population, the appearance of demon armor, the continuous development of science and technology, and the increasing automation of tools, so they continued to expand to higher and deeper places, and in the end, it took hundreds of years to hollow out the entire Nanshan, and even dig into the depths of the Nanshan Mountains for about a kilometer, and it became the current Nanshan City. ”

Listening to Mo Zhaoxue's words, Luo Bu knew that not only had this mountain called Nanshan been hollowed out, but even the mountains connected to Nanshan had been hollowed out a lot, and he couldn't help but be speechless for a long time.

Look at the mountain range connected to the peak of Namsan Mountain, which stretches into the depths of the mountains without an end in sight.

What Mo Zhaoxue said was digging into one kilometer, only the length and distance, if converted into area, the area of this kilometer is also very broad.

"It feels like it's a lot safer than the Acropolis. Rob said.

"Safety, that's relative, right?"

Mo Zhaoxue shook her head and said, "Although the number of attacks by demon beasts is not as frequent as that of the Northern Acropolis, occasionally some demon beasts that can drill into the earth and make holes will break in, resulting in some casualties. There is no way to do this kind of thing, but to try to build a warning area on the periphery, and if you can detect it in advance, you can avoid it to a certain extent. ”

Rob nodded, knowing that what Mo Zhaoxue was talking about was probably those pangolins, earthworms, or some similar insects and monsters that could drill holes.

Before the day of light, this kind of monster beast was digging holes in the soil to lay eggs, and now after being illuminated by the power of the light source, its size has become larger, but its habits have not changed, and it is still an expert in burrowing.

It is inevitable that it will drill and drill, and it will drill into Nanshan City.

In the same way, when humans dig into the mountains to dig out the soil, they will also accidentally dig into the delivery quarters or caves of insects and monsters.

When the two meet, it will inevitably be a big battle.

"In addition, it is far more troublesome to dig into the mountains than to build houses directly outside, which is one of the reasons why it has been difficult for us to develop Nanshan City. Not to mention, living in the belly of the mountain all year round is not a good thing, and the low passages and spaces are also very oppressive, so we have recently planned to expand the outside space and try to move the residents out. Mo Zhaoxue said.

"What I dug up before can be used as a shelter!" Rob said.

"Yes!" Mo Zhaoxue nodded with a smile.

As he spoke, the forest worm had already arrived at the station in Nanshan City.

Compared with the station of the North Acropolis, which is on a wall of more than 100 meters, the station of Nanshan Castle is in a vaulted cave with a height of more than 10 meters on the ground, which is very distinctive.

However, even though it is in a cave, the infrastructure of this internal station is still very good, at least there is everything that should be there, and there is nothing that should not be there.

This makes the station look a little shabby, but it can't be helped, because it's too dangerous, people in this world are not popular with tourists, and even cheaper forest bugs are actually just compared to the more expensive airboats, and in fact they are not much cheaper.

As for the number of trains, like the round-trip forest worm from Nanshan City to North Acropolis, it is only one trip a week, with such a small displacement, naturally no one wants to repair the station well, anyway, it is enough to be able to get on and off passengers.

When the forest worm entered the station, the cave station was still a black hole, but as the front of the car entered, the chandelier hanging from the vault was turned on, emitting a soft light that illuminated the entire space.

The station was empty, and it was supposed to be the same as the station in the North Acropolis, where people were all outside.

After the forest insects were stable, the doors of the carriages opened, and groups of passengers dragging suitcases got off the train, with happy smiles on their faces, happy for this safe and dangerous journey.

Every journey is an adventure, and reaching the destination safely is everyone's expectation.

After everyone had gone out for a while, Mo Zhaoxue got up from her seat and said, "Let's go too!"

So, a group of mermaids rushed out, Muzi, who was responsible for taking care of Bailu, pushed the hospital bed in the back, and Rob also pulled the bed frame in front to help lead the way.

After they came out, the passengers who got off the car had already walked almost, after all, there were not many people on a train, and the station was also large, it would not be crowded, and when people left, it seemed that the huge station was very empty, and the footsteps made by people when they walked echoed in the cave station.

Rob looked back at the forest worm behind him, after running this way, the forest worm will stop in Nanshan City for a few days, and after gathering enough people, it will set off for the North Acropolis, and it is the same when it comes to the North Acropolis.

This is basically the situation of the trains in this world, even if they connect to other cities, in fact, they are almost the same, and some are even too far away and there are no forest insects at all, and if you want to go, you can only take an expensive empty boat.

Out of the station, Rob immediately saw four or five people welcoming them, judging by the situation, they should have come to greet them.

The two groups of people quickly converged, Mo Zhaoxue smiled and introduced people to Luo Buyu Minghai Muzi and Qiu Shan, and said: "This is my husband, called Chengshanjun, this is my son, Chenghao, this is my daughter, Chengqiu." ”

After speaking, Luo Bu Yu Minghai and others were introduced to several people, and the two sides greeted each other with a smile and welcomed Luo Bu and others to Nanshan City.

After the pleasantries, the group left the station and walked along a passage inside.

Every two meters in the passage, there is a light overhead, which is not very bright, but it is enough to make a clear view of the passage.

At first, this passage was vaulted, but after a while, it became a rectangle with flat corners.

Not only that, the roads in the passage are also different in width and width, different in height, obviously not dug out in the same batch, it should be that the space is not enough, and then expanded, plus the standards are different, so this situation is caused.

As you go further inside, the number of pedestrians in the passage begins to increase, and more forks gradually begin to appear, and this fork in the road is also various, ordinary points have crossroads, complex points have knives and forks, if they are unique points, there are also inclined crossings, like drawing a ×.

There are countless forks here, and there will be signs on each fork in the road, but Rao is so, this turning around is enough to make Rob and Muzi faint, only knowing that they have taken the elevator four times, and the position should be quite high, but the specific direction is long gone, and I don't know where I am.

Seeing this, Mo Zhaoxue's husband Cheng Shanjun said with a smile: "People who come to Nanshan City for the first time are like this, after staying for a long time, you will find that these roads are actually very easy to distinguish, and when you are familiar with it, even if there are some places where there are missing signs, you don't have to worry about getting lost." ”

This kind of comfort didn't help, Muzi still clung to the hospital bed tightly, and followed behind Rob, afraid that he would be lost if he was accidental, and there would be nowhere to ask for help at that time.

After Cheng Shanjun finished speaking, Mo Zhaoxue also said: "We are still in the outermost area of Nanshan City, and this section of the road was also excavated hundreds of years ago, because it was not planned, so it was very messy, if it wasn't for the new government blocking some roads, it would be even more ......chaotic."

“…… The road in the later stage is planned and clearer, so the more you go inside, the more regular the passage will be, and there will be no dizziness. ……”

“…… What's more, even if you get lost, you don't have to be afraid, just ask someone on the road for help, and they will take you to the center of the lost. When Mo Zhaoxue said this, her face was full of smiles, but in the ears of Rob and Muzi, she felt that there was even a lost center in this place, and she said that she wouldn't get lost?!

After finishing speaking, Mo Zhaoxue said with a smile: "Okay, I'll send you here, I still have to take Akiyama to run errands, a few of you, go to my house with my husband first, rest for two days, and you should be about ready to go." ”

"Hmm!" Luo Bu and Yu Minghai responded, and didn't ask Mo Zhaoxue what he was going to do with Qiushan.

"Then I'll go first!I've been out for more than a month, I'll go home first, and I'll come to play with you another day!" Mo Yifan saw this and said goodbye.

So the group of people separated, each doing his own thing, and going back to his house.

Before leaving, Akiyama waved goodbye to Rob very friendly, causing Rob to roll his eyes, but the other party didn't care, only turned around and followed Mo Zhaoxue with great strides.

After everyone who should leave leaves, only a pair of children of Chengshanjun and Mo Zhaoxue remain, plus Yuming Hailuo Bumuzi and Bailu lying on the hospital bed.

Several people continued to walk along the passage, and Chengshanjun seemed to be very interested in Yu Minghai, and walked side by side with the latter, asking, "Are you the Ju family of Flower City?"

"Yes!" Yu Minghai nodded in acknowledgement.

"Well, I've been to Flower City a few times before, but I know a few of you guys...... Who is your father?" asked Chengshan-kun.

"My father is Yu Xiaofeng. Yu Minghai said.

"Oh, it's Yu Xiaofeng!" Cheng Shanjun nodded suddenly.

Seeing this, Yu Minghai asked curiously, "Does Mr. Cheng know my father?"

"Haha! But that was a long time ago...... It was probably seven or eight years ago!" Cheng Shanjun laughed: "I was still young at that time, and I hunted demon beasts with your father!"

"Oh, then I don't have to call you uncle!"

"Haha, it's okay to call uncle!"

The two led the way in front and talked, while Rob and Muzi followed behind with the hospital bed.

For such a city built in the belly of the mountain, Rob seemed very curious, he looked around, observed, and felt that the residents here were not only white-skinned, but also short, many looked only one meter and one or two, like teenage junior high school students.

However, although the height is like that of a child, the physical development is the same as that of an adult, men and women, the long beard with the long beard, the body is still hot, and it is not discounted at all because of the short stature.

This reminded him of the so-called dwarves.

But why are the inhabitants so short?

He thinks that maybe it has something to do with the living environment here.

The passages here vary in height, and there are doors along the way, which look like guest rooms in a hotel.

When someone opened the door and entered and exited the room, Rob looked inside curiously, and found that the space inside was quite tall and large, basically about the same height as a normal house.

In this case, there seems to be no reason to be so short, right?

Or maybe it's something else?

Just as Rob was pondering, Mo Zhaoxue's pair of teenage children were very interested in Bailu, who was lying unconscious on the hospital bed, and was also very curious about Muzi, who was almost the same age as the two, and they got together after a while.

When the two of them learned that the person lying on the hospital bed was called Bailu and was unconscious because of illness, they comforted Muzi, which made people feel good.
