This is a huge area near the foot of the mountain where the snow melts, and a huge structure rises above the river.

The river doesn't have a name, but the people who live here know that if you drift down the river, the river will merge with two other rivers and enter a huge lake, Cliff Lake.

Some of the peeling and rusty writing on this strange steel creature was unrecognizable, and no one bothered to examine what had been written on it.

The steel artifacts of the former civilization resemble an inverted bowl that has been shattered into a gap, and its lower edge is a small human settlement, through which a straight railway passes.

The railway was built hundreds of years ago, but it was badly damaged.

It was rebuilt many years ago.

It is said that the men and horses from the Mine City have laid several routes on the Central Continent. It was built by the aristocratic group of the "Ten Thousand Heavens Alliance", united with the distant desert kingdom and mobilized countless slaves.

In order to compete for territory and resources and expand their dominance, the nobles of the mining city were ambitious.

Later, due to the unilateral withdrawal of the Shacheng side for unknown reasons, these railways were operated by the Mine City aristocratic organization alone.

Basically, there is a weekly train that runs between the northern and southern regions of the Central Continent.

In the event of bad weather or other safety issues, the train may not arrive on time.

The train is divided into two parts, loading people and loading.

Some parts of the north are quite rich in supplies, which is also one of the wishful thinking of the nobles of the mining city who decided to build a railroad in the first place. The legacies of these pre-civilizations were continuously excavated and transported by merchants to other parts of the continent.

It is rumored that the forces far away in the ancient iron city have always wanted to get their hands on these transportation arteries. But for some reason, I haven't been able to get a piece of the pie.

As a result, the aristocracy jointly funded the establishment of a railway management agency, and many self-police regiments were also added along the railway lines to protect these transportation lines.

The towns and cities along the railway, as well as large and small human settlements, gradually prospered for a long time, and these towns with a certain strength were vying to get the railway to them.

The only reason for the people here to survive is the massive steel creature buried deep in the ground.

This human settlement was more prosperous than the surrounding wilderness a few decades ago, and the surrounding homeless people continue to flock here.

But today, the population is dwindling, and people are yearning for more prosperous places.

If there are outsiders joining in, then they have only one reason: security.

The food production here is considerable, and the surrounding thugs rarely dare to mess with the place.

The reason is simple, the locals know that there is a building halfway up the mountain, and not only the locals dare not go there, but even the surrounding thugs dare not provoke it.

For there lived a lonely man, and the building was his own personal property.

There are local elders who testify that the land here is under his protection. Back then, there were several gangs of thugs who tried to plunder this place, but they were all ruthlessly killed by this person, leaving no one alive, and no one even saw his true face.

The old people swore that "only the golden armor covered his whole body, and it was impossible to see what technique was used, but it was as easy to cut down the thugs as if he were mowing grass." ”

According to the scavengers who had been there secretly, the land had been reclaimed and planted with flowers and exotic plants, but the atmosphere was terrible.

However, there is a local legend that the howls of wild wolves that have long disappeared in other areas can often be heard at night.

Outsiders obviously don't believe this statement, how can there be wolves here?

Wolves are social animals, and even one or two wolves will not survive on their own, they will disappear in a few years, and no one has ever really been attacked by a wolf here.

But over time, the legend of the wolf made more people believe in it without believing it.

……

In the evening, a huge projection on the top of the snow-capped mountain began to gradually cover the town below, and a train stopped at the station outside the town.

The train will stay here for one night.

The trains of this era were made very wide, and they looked like a huge flat box.

It was modified from a short-distance rail car excavated by a pre-civilization, and the track used was also very wide, in order to increase the carrying capacity.

When an armed guard was counting the passengers of the train, he noticed that two homeless people from here had evaded fares, and immediately shouted: "Get off the train quickly, fuck! Want to mix tickets? ”

"Uncle, this is all the belongings I have saved, I, can I exchange these food for a ticket?" A man in ragged clothes tries to unpack his bags.

"Fuck off!" Before he could unpack his bags, the man hit a heavy boot on his shoulder, flew off the carriage on his back, and fell to the cold ground.

"Whoa!"

The bags were scattered, and a pile of miscellaneous items and various cans rolled out of it.

Seeing this, another female homeless person screamed and jumped out of the car, holding the man's bloody face and crying.

The man snorted and couldn't get up on the ground for a long time.

A wanderer in the wilderness, accustomed to petty theft, grabbed food from the ground and ran. The other homeless people also seemed to be red-eyed and began to scramble for cans and other things on the ground.

The people in the carriage seemed to be accustomed to this situation, and no one said a word, and their expressions were indifferent.

The train guard sneered, and was about to turn away, when he suddenly noticed a large hand behind him pressing his shoulder.

This time he was quite surprised, and before he had time to take a closer look, his palm slid to the gun on his thigh.

Dare to attack train guards? What a guts!

"Bastard! Still looking for death? ”

When he turned around and saw the owner of the big hand, his face changed, and he immediately became stunned.

"Team, captain, uh! How are you? ”

The big man known as the captain wore a half-hooded mechanical mask, his short, rough pale yellow hair stood on end, his eyes hidden behind the hood, his pale green pupils showed coldness, and his arms were covered with barbed armbands.

"Even if you don't have the money to buy a ticket, can you beat him up?"

"Uh- yes, Captain. I was wrong! ”

The captain seemed to have a sense of justice, and after glancing at him, he didn't say anything more. He let go of the palm pressed on his shoulder, and without looking at him, he strode in the direction of the front of the car.

At this moment, suddenly a woman's voice came: "Please wait a minute! ”

"Huh?"

The captain looked back and saw a brightly dressed girl in front of him. At first glance, she knew that she came out of the noble carriage, and she was followed by 2 bodyguards.

He almost recognized almost all the nobles in this car, and among the children of those families, there were also some people who liked to travel by train.

However, he had never seen this girl before.

After being slightly stunned, he asked in a cold tone, "What?" What do you want? ”

"Miss Sofina, don't be nosy." An older bodyguard hurriedly reminded her.

"Hmph—my decision, you don't care!"

"But it's their ...... of this kind of thing."

"I said, don't worry about it! Can't get it? ”

The bodyguard immediately stopped, he probably didn't want to cause trouble before he reminded him.

"Let them get in the car, don't you see it's a mother?"

After the girl finished speaking, she glanced sideways and saw the woman who was crying on top of the man, carrying a thick sack on her back, and two small hands grasping the edge of the sack.

"What do you want?" The captain frowned, and asked with an expression like looking at a rare animal.

"I paid for their family's tickets!"
