Old Dunling was huge, very big.

As the capital of Invig, Old Dunling has been slowly expanding throughout its history, reaching its maximum speed when steam power appeared.

It has an astonishing floor area and occupies the central part of the island of Invig, but the first negative effect of such a large city is the huge cost of transportation.

If a citizen of Dongcheng District wants to go to work in a factory in Xicheng District, it will take half a day just to walk, and the income of ordinary citizens cannot afford to pay for a steam car, let alone raise a hellish horse, and ride a horse to work.

In order to solve this problem, the mechanical institute began a new round of renovation of the old Dunling more than ten years ago, they opened up the underground tunnel, and built a train that can cross the old Dunling, they called this thing the subway, which looked like a shrunken underground train, and the ground was covered with rails embedded in the ground, and a steam tram called the Iron Snake ran on it.

This transportation system, which was based on the old Dunling, has been expanded across the country after its success, and in recent years they have tried to add Zeppelins to the vast transportation system, and the sky will also have the footprints of the Invigs.

The Serpent of the Atrium.

The mechanics of the Mechanics Institute called this transportation system after the giant python in Norse mythology, and this beautiful and rich world is the mythical atrium, when everyone can become a member of this earthly serpent at a low price, surrounded by machinery and steam.

Victoria General Hospital is also a famous stop, with steam and trams passing by every ten minutes, and Lorenzo was just in time for this.

"I'm sorry my friend!"

The door opened, and Lorenzo made a beeline for the cab with the dangerous shotgun on his shoulder.

After evicting the innocent passengers, the driver was thrown off the steam tram without much resistance, and then the iron snake swallowed the steam and gradually accelerated and galloped on the tracks.

When had the law-abiding citizens of Old Dunling seen such a battle, even Prey was a little confused.

This is the old Dunling, the heart of Invig, where at least three zeppelins patrol the sky at all times, and on them there are heavily armed air cavalry in red dazeres, they are a strong line of defense for the order and safety of the old Dunling, and when something unexpected happens, you can only see the behemoth that covers the sky, and then in its shadow, the red-shirted soldiers will grab the zipline and fall from the sky, and then shoot you in the head.

First the steam pipeline explosion and fire, the shootout, and then the hijacking of the steam tram, although it is not clear what the situation is at the moment, it is inevitable that these troublemakers will be caught and locked up to death one by one.

This is the big event in Pree's career, he picks up his gun and runs in the direction of the steam tram, but then he sees a figure hanging behind the steam tram.

Pree's heart immediately slowed down by half a beat.

......

"This ...... At least it's a third-class merit!"

Despite the fierce wind in her ears, the girl still looked indifferent and kept muttering.

Eve grabbed the handle of the steam tram, and at the last moment it started, she finally followed.

The hapless child had not yet realized what danger she was in, and all she had on her mind was the Queen's Daily newspaper the next day, with headlines that the new police officer in Sualan Hall had solved a major case on his first day in office, had been invited to the Platinum Palace to meet the Queen, and had reached the pinnacle of his life as the old Tunling police inspector.

It's really boring to think that I have reached the peak of my life before I am thirty years old.

Lorenzo didn't have Eve's boring feeling above the Iron Serpent, and he was in great shape at the moment.

The whistle blazed all the way, like a grim reaper rushing to kill someone, and the pedestrians on the road gave way.

Lorenzo was a very studious man, his room was full of books, and he knew a little about everything, even the steam tram. Although he didn't know the specific details of the operation of this steam tram, he felt that the basic operation was still okay when he looked at the simple operating table.

He had to catch up with the men, they were the only clues in the cloud of suspicion.

Soon the group appeared in Lorenzo's sight, the old Dunling road was crowded, and the horse was not destined to run fast, unless you were a mounted policeman blowing a police whistle all the way or a deadly iron snake like Lorenzo, under the law and life, even the most irascible citizens would be happy to make way for them.

Grabbing the lever with something, Lorenzo grabbed the steel on the edge and flipped it straight onto the roof.

Although the group of people in the mechanical academy are a little neurotic, their works are very rigorous. Steam trams have been part of the Atrium Serpent system for many years and have a set of safety contingency measures that allow them to come to a rapid stop under emergency braking.

The sight slipped over the barrel of the gun and fell on the "suspect" not far away, Lorenzo didn't need to catch everyone, he only needed the slowest one.

Pull the trigger, and there is a thunderstorm.

The bullet pierced the horse's leg, and the poor horse fell to the ground with the suspect and slid several meters away, Lorenzo thought he had succeeded, but another shot rang out, and the suspect on the ground was shot and killed.

Leave no mouth alive.

At this moment, Lorenzo finally felt the difficulty of the situation, he was not facing a group of simple thugs, ordinary thugs did not have such a strong will, there must be a person in this group of people who acted as an insurer, he was responsible for killing all those who had straggled, and guarding the secrets of the Silverfish.

This is not something that the thugs in the lower city can do, and Lorenzo is in a stalemate, but the way to break this impasse is also very simple, kill the last man.

The human will is both resolute and fragile, and Lorenzo gambled on whether he would have the courage to swallow the muzzle of the gun when he caught the man who was in charge of the insurance.

One after the other, a rare chase battle was staged in the old Dunlingli.

The suspect began to adjust his direction, and continued to arrive in the inner city, where there were patrols everywhere, their purpose was to rush to the lower city, as long as they arrived in the mixed lower city, even if Su Yalan Hall intervened, they would not be able to catch them, it was a tumor that grew on the old Dunling, and forcibly tearing it off would only hurt both sides, which is why the shrike dog thing could live so long when he was so arrogant.

They must be stopped before they reach the lower town, or Lorenzo may not be able to protect himself when he arrives in the lower town.

Use your witty brain, your mind is top-notch, even though your morality is second-rate!

Trying to recall everything at his disposal, the countless lines that make up the floor plan of the old Dunling, above which Lorenzo's Blue Line chases the red line, which is about to reach its end, the lower town.

The Blue Line continued to stretch, but at the next intersection, the Blue Line shattered into countless lines, crowding every street in Old Dunling, and it came from all directions to chase and block the red line.

Finally, just as the red line was about to reach its end, a blue line stopped him.

Thanks to the old Dunling Steam Tram diagram hanging in the cab, Lorenzo found the only way.

Eve finally climbed into the carriage of the steam tram with all his might, and his instructor said during the training at the police academy that Eve is a very good police detective, but his physical strength is not very good, but it is not what it used to be, all kinds of vehicles are everywhere, and the police detective finally does not have to run half to death in order to chase people.

If she could see the instructor next time, Eve would be sure to talk to him about it, but now of course she'd have to stop the damn steam tram first.

"Stop it!"

Eve raised her pistol and pointed it at Lorenzo in the cab, the distance between the two was not too far, and despite the roar of the machine, the sound was still clear.

But Lorenzo didn't stop, but turned back with a kind face.

"I'm not your enemy, detective, they are. ”

Eve knew Lorenzo was referring to the runaways, but she was still wary and refused to put down her gun.

"I'm a detective, a private detective. ”

"Detective with shotgun?"

"Most of my peers carry guns, but the guns I carry are more special, and you can understand me as a minority. ”

"Do you know how much of a disturbance you've made? I even have the power to shoot you directly now!"

In the second half of the sentence, Eve is bluffing, in fact, she doesn't know exactly what circumstances to shoot, this kind of thing should be under the leadership of Presie, and the actual combat a few times.

"Such a big movement? can only be said to be my personal characteristic, I am more of a man of action than pretending to meditate on the spot. ”

Lorenzo was very good at labeling himself, and a small label could make people think a lot, which he was taught by the cheap teacher when he was at the Royal Academy of Art.

Without giving Eve time to think, Lorenzo quickly reversed the subject.

"Detective, you know what, this thing could have gone faster. ”

He pointed to the steel creature beneath his feet, as if he had not seen the muzzle of the gun.

"All the technologies in the history of mankind will gradually get closer to civilian use before they are used by the military, for example, the Zeppelin that has been preparing to join the Atrium Serpent system in recent years, it was originally a military airship, and ground artillery could not attack his height at all, it would be under the cover of clouds, sending troops and air strikes. ”

"Even the Serpent of the Atrium was originally a military system, so that the Queen's order would allow us to plunge the continent across the sea into artillery fire, and the steam train could send Invig's soldiers to the battlefield at any time wherever the railway went. The same is true of the steam tram under our feet, which was born at the worst of security in Old Dunling. ”

With his hand on the lever, Lorenzo slowly stood up, the shotgun he left on the console, and he deliberately raised his other free hand to prove to Eve that he was not a threat.

"This thing called the Iron Serpent was really an Iron Serpent, the seats inside were full of heavily armed soldiers, the exterior was covered with solid armor, even if it was shot, it would only leave a dent, the Zeppelin in the sky was in charge, where there was a riot, the Iron Serpent would come there, the armor was raised in unison, the barrel of the gun protruded from the raised notch, and the trigger was pulled. ”

At that time, Invig had just become the leader of the world's steam technology, and spy agents from various countries were everywhere, and the old Dun was in turmoil.

Lorenzo swallowed and said.

"What I want to say is that the power of this thing is far greater than what is written in its specifications, and it still uses the Watt III steam engine for so many years, and decades ago it could walk like a car of soldiers and several tons of armor, but now it can't run with a few citizens. ”

"It's the mechanics who are lazy, they limit the power of this thing, and it's actually a blood-stained weapon in civilian clothing, but as long as you know a little bit about mechanics and the construction of steam trams, it's easy to break through. ”

Eve felt a little uncomfortable, it was clear that the instinct she had been relying on did not abandon her this time, and as soon as the words fell, Lorenzo pulled down the lever hard, and at the same time Eve instinctively pulled the trigger.

The bullets came out of their chambers, and the steam tram swayed violently as if it were about to fall apart, and the huge impact shook Eve up, slamming against the iron wall beside her, and with a crack of glass, endless winds poured into it.

Why?

Eve struggled to look up, only to see the damn detective standing firmly in the cab, her own bullet missed, only shattering the windshield.

She didn't understand where the movement came from, but then she felt the whole carriage shake violently, and the steam tram called the Iron Serpent broke free from its original limitations, and its speed continued to rise, until it reached its glory.

As if to answer Eve's question, Lorenzo pointed to her side during the violent jolt, which were several cloth bags hanging from the iron wall.

The steam and tram commute can be long, and in order to pass the long time for passengers, it is usually filled with today's newspapers, as well as some other boring books.

The mechanic would put the operation manual of the steam tram and some publicly available drawings in it for the convenience of maintenance, which was intended to popularize the public, but it seemed that Lorenzo was the only one who would read this boring book every time, and it all worked today.
