Chapter 224: Fox Town
Fox Town.
Nestled in the deep mountain valley on the west side of the Olympic Mountains, it is dominated by logging industry, with abundant rainfall and heavy fog all year round. But then the logging industry declined, lumber mills closed, unemployment increased, business activity stalled, some high schools closed, and some small town residents even began to move out.
The town is beautifully landscaped and surrounded by towering Douglas fir, hemlock, spruce and rare red cedars.
It's just that due to the gloom and gloom, the moon is not seen here all year round.
"Bumblebee, you've entered this so-called Fox town, do you sense who is coming?" Mo Fei asked leisurely as he drove the car with one hand and a cigarette in one hand.
The reason why Murphy and Mindy are now in Fox Town is because Bumblebee senses that someone from Bopai has descended on Earth, so he asks Murphy to let him find the team.
Mo Fei asked the red queen to check the information and found that there was indeed a meteorite falling in a small town called Fox.
Looking for such a trivial matter, of course, it is impossible for Murphy to refuse Bumblebee, after all, Bumblebee still made a lot of contributions to his happy pretending.
You can easily turn into a Lamborghini, just ask if you are afraid?
And Murphy doesn't want Bumblebee to go out alone, what if he runs away?
Where did he find such good labor?
So Murphy took Mindy with him to the so-called Fox town.
It is...... The closer he got to Fox Town, the more Murphy sensed that something was wrong......
"Alas! Maybe it's a delusion! Murphy shook his head, shaking out the strange sensation in his head.
"I ...... Got it...... Arcie ......," Bumblebee said intermittently.
Arcie, a gentle and beautiful Autobot female warrior, is always considerate of others, and takes care of Bopai's newcomers like a big sister.
Agile and intimidating in battle, warm to friends and cold to enemies. Her prowess and ruthlessness in combat are nothing short of astounding, even in Thermal Break.
He is also an expert in hand-to-hand combat and a sharpshooter. In her car form, she is equipped with a number of lethal weapons, such as a shrapnel launcher and tire spikes. In her robot form, her strength is mediocre, but her speed is fast.
Alsie's intelligence, adaptability, and composure in the face of artillery fire make her an invaluable asset on the Bopai's journey to achieve her dreams. The Maniac always underestimated Alsie's abilities because in their eyes, she was like the Earth Woman they had always looked down upon, and the Maniac always kept her out of their plans. It was this that became the most effective weapon that Arcie could use.
"Arcie?" Mo Fei's eyes lit up: "Is Arcie alone, or are the three Arcie sisters here?" β
Murphy certainly knew that Arcie, a pink motorcycle, was one of the few female characters in the hormone-ridden Transformers.
Female Transformers...... Murphy felt a bold idea rise up in his heart......
And the three sisters of Arcie, the pink motorcycle Alcee, the blue motorcycle Gloria, and the purple Aleita, have always been inseparable, Meng is not defocused, are the three girls here?
Bumblebee: "......"
I always feel that this earthlings know too much?
And Mo Fei didn't care about some special things that sometimes showed in front of Mindy's eyes, and it was OK to push it all to the stupid dog system.
"No one else...... Only...... Alcy ......"
"Oh." Murphy flicked the cigarette ash, it doesn't matter, it's good to have one.
He wanted to try out what it was like to ride Arcie today!
β¦β¦
Isabella.
A seventeen-year-old middle school girl, with a father who is a police officer who focuses on work all day, and a mother who is impulsive and even a little neurotic, Bella divorced when she was very young.
Her mother remarried, and Bella came to the remote town of Fox, where it rained all year round, to live with her father Charlie.
But......
But because of this, Bella has an extraordinary experience that ordinary people can hardly imagine......
She carried her schoolbag on her back, came out of the house, and then looked back at her father's old house, and her eyes flashed with a lot of sadness.
Because in a few months, maybe she will lose the opportunity to be with her parents forever.
By then...... She'll turn into a vampire.
Love comes so fast, like a tornado, she has no choice but to follow the vampire she loves and gain eternal life.
Eternal life or something, it doesn't matter to her, the important thing is that she can only be with Edward forever.
In the early morning, the trees that were still misty with last night's smoke and rain gently swayed their green leaves, washed by drops of raindrops, and swayed the branches one by one, revealing a bit of desolation and gloom in a cold.
Bella stepped on the rain-stained ground and came to her car.
Well, it was an old orange pickup truck, a mighty piece that made people look intimidating, the paint was faded, the iron sheet was rusted in many places, and the copper stains were stained, and Bella felt that it might be older than herself.
It was the first gift her dad gave her after she returned to Fox Town.
Obviously, her father didn't understand a girl's heart at all, a car older than her......
However, Officer Charlie has no choice, as a sheriff in a small town, he may seem majestic on the surface, and he can protect his income from drought and flood, but the actual income is not enough to support him to buy a new car for his daughter......
Therefore, I can only wronged her.
Fortunately, Bailey is quite sensible, he didn't make a big fuss, and accepted it calmly, that is, ...... It was really embarrassing when others outside the school parking lot looked at me in surprise.
Bella got into the car, twisted the keys, and the car opened, and Bella breathed a sigh of relief.
The car was so old that it took a long time for her to ignite several times in the past few days.
It's okay this time, I don't have to waste so much time.
The car's engine began to roar.
Bella was about to drive, as if she had a premonition of something, she turned her head sharply, looked to the right, and there was an extra person.
Boyfriend, Edward Cullen.
Edward is athletic, handsome and charming, and he is actually a member of the "vegetarian" vampire family, the Cullen family.
Bella heard Edward talk about their vampire origins.
Legend has it that in ancient Europe, a plague broke out on the continent, and people died one after another, but only one young man named Alexandre Kovinas survived in the village.
There are three descendants of Alexander Kovinas, unfortunately one of the three was bitten by a bat infected with the virus, the other was bitten by a wolf infected with the virus, only one survived in full human form, and his two brothers mutated due to the virus, the one bitten by the bat became the ancestor of the vampire, and the one bitten by the wolf became the ancestor of the werewolf.
Vampires don't need to eat, they don't need to sleep, but they do need to constantly suck blood. When the Bloodlines are hungry, they will have an extremely strong craving for blood.
The members of the Karen family are able to resist this desire, and they generally only suck the blood of animals and do not attack humans, so they are called "vegetarians".
Unlike other vampires, Edward could see what others were thinking, but he couldn't see through Bella's mind alone, which was what fascinated him deeply.
"You're scaring me!" Bella said angrily and patted her flat chest: "It's elusive all day long, it's easy to scare others, okay?" β
"Because we're not human, we're ghosts, vampires!" Edward smiled lightly and said, "You have to try to get used to it, and you will become like this in the future." β
"Even if I become like you in the future, I won't suddenly appear around other people like you......" Bella snorted.
"You'll know when the time comes." Edward said helplessly.
Bella picks up and drives down the road.
The small town of Fox is really small, with a population of only a few thousand, and it also contains a large number of Native American reservations, with few roads and an underdeveloped economy.
In the past, this was a forestry area, the logging industry was developed, and the economic level was okay, after all, it was lively, but after the logging industry stopped, the whole town immediately fell into depression.
If it weren't for meeting Edward, Bella would have preferred to live in big cities like New York and Los Angeles after graduating from high school.
"Bella, have you really figured it out?" Sitting in the car, Edward pursed his lips and hesitated for a long time, but still spoke: "Choose to give up your father who is not good at talking but loves you, give up your mother who is a little sloppy but loves you very much, and then become a blood-sucking monster who can only live in a dark corner and lose his sense of taste and pain?" β
After more than 100 years of being a vampire, Edward felt far more pain than happiness.
There is no need to experience the pain of birth, old age, illness that ordinary people can experience, but people can eat, drink, prostitute and gamble and other pleasures, and vampires can no longer feel it.
It's painful!
If it weren't for the fact that the Cullens were always by his side, Edward would have committed suicide a long time ago.
He didn't really want Bella to be like this, and he was afraid that Bella would regret becoming a vampire and then resent him.
And if Bella doesn't turn into a vampire, then the two of them can't be together forever, which is also a great pain in Edward's heart.
When the two painful contradictions are entangled, Edward's idea that he doesn't want Bella to become a vampire takes over.
But!
Everything has to be decided by Bella, and if Bella insists on doing so, then no one can change Bella's decision.
"Edward, I'm 17 years old and can choose my own life." Bella took a deep breath and said, "I believe that if my father and mother also know the truth, they will definitely support me!" β
"Okay." Edward sighed and said no more.
The two of them headed towards the school.
β¦β¦
The Chevrolet Camaro is driving on the roads of Fox Town.
When going out like this, it's too arrogant to drive a Lamborghini, and it's better to drive a Chevrolet and keep a low profile.
According to the signs of the exchange between Bumblebee and Alsie, they are constantly approaching one location at a time.
"According to the show, the final location is the parking lot of Fox Town High School." The red queen released a projection that revealed a pink motorcycle.
"Correct...... Arcie ...... There ......" bumblebee said.
"Got it." Mo Fei flicked the ashes of his cigarette and swept his gaze over the patches of land.
Indian reservations......
Pretty big.
Fox Town is one of the small towns where Indians gather, a large piece of land belongs to the Indians, and the family's hundreds of acres of land are very common to manipulate, but due to the extremely backward economy, these lands are not very valuable.
"Indians, that's kind of interesting." Murphy chuckled, there was a lot of transcendence in this town, especially the Indian reservation and another place.
In his previous life, Murphy had heard some information about the Indians, and it seemed that it was not the massacre of the Europeans that caused the greatest death to the Indians, but disease.
The disease is mainly smallpox.
Even on the Eurasian continent, smallpox is a terrible disease, and once it is contracted, the mortality rate is very high.
Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty died of smallpox.
Smallpox, on the other hand, entered the American continent with the whites, a disease that the Indians never had, and they did not have any antibodies in their bodies.
So smallpox raged like a grim reaper on the American continent, and entire tribes of the Indians died in large numbers.
In a short period of time, almost 90% of the population was lost.
A missionary of the day once wrote: "In some places there are so many people who die that they cannot be buried." β
It's just that the Indians also took revenge on white Europeans, passing on to white Europeans a disease they couldn't defend against - syphilis.
Almost everyone in the Indians had syphilis, but syphilis was not as harmful to them as a fever and a cold, but when syphilis crossed the ocean to Europe......
At the time of the great geographical discovery, white Europeans noticed that syphilis was super aggressive, eating the root of a man's life bit by bit, and then eating the man's face, making the pleasure-seeking prostitutes all become hateful and unbearable, and it also caused pain all over the body, making people "so painful that they couldn't get out of bed, and they couldn't find a doctor to diagnose and treat them", which made people unrecognizable and died after a few months of torture.
Therefore, syphilis became the number one killer in Europe during the Renaissance, described as "endless rot" in Shakespeare's writings, and can be said to be the "number one killer" in the field of venereal diseases before the emergence of AIDS.
Schubert died six years after contracting syphilis at the age of 31. Born into a Catholic family in Vienna, Schubert studied violin and piano. He had a sweet singing voice and entered the "Royal Theological Academy" to study, and at the age of about 25 Schubert contracted syphilis.
Maupassant's syphilis came with a frank blow, and he never denied it. At the age of 20, the bohemian Maupassant was infected by his rowing companions, unbeknownst to him at the time. Later, Maupassant's body hair began to fall out, and doctors told his family that it was syphilis.
There are also many people such as Nietzsche, Beethoven, Mozart, Flaubert, His Excellency the FΓΌhrer, etc......
Of course, with the development of medical technology, syphilis is no longer an incurable disease.
But that's it, a lot of white people also hate Indians very much, after all......
As a result, very few whites married Indians.
