Chapter 6: Cataclysm (3)

Hundreds of generations of eastern wilderness even sand sea, thousands of miles of desert looking at the long mountain.

The Three Thousand Empire was founded in the eastern part of the Zhige Continent and occupied most of the territory of this continent, facing the sea in the southeast, north and south, and the alliance in the west across the Thousand Broken Mountains in the west.

The Eastern Desert is located in the eastern part of the Three Thousand Empires, and it should have been a land of abundance like the south and the north, receiving the moist water vapor of the sea. However, on the coast of the East China Sea on the Zhige Continent, there are towering and continuous mountain ranges, which cut off most of the ocean airflow, which directly led to the formation of the Eastern Desert.

The mountains along the East China Sea have been known as Changshan since ancient times because of their distinctive characteristics.

If the Sea Clan crosses the Changshan Mountains and invades the interior, they must first face the high-altitude attack, and then they have to endure the bitter cold of the peaks, even if they can cross the Changshan Mountains, they will have to pass through the desert terrain that aquatic creatures can most tolerate.

Such topographical features ensured the tranquility of the eastern part of the Three Thousand Empire for 10,000 years.

An Xiaoyu looked at the book in her hand with the book "Must Read for Freshmen" written on the cover, and the heavy texture made her feel a lot of pressure, from the founding history of the Three Thousand Empires, to the great achievements of the Three Thousand Academies, the celebrity alumni of the past dynasties, the general division of the geography of mountains and rivers, the basic composition of the construction of the imperial city, and even the common sense of life required for daily life, all of which are written in this thick book.

Ni Yu looked at An Xiaoyu's worried look, smiled, and pointed: "Let's look at the admission instructions and common sense of life first, this book is given to you for free in the marginal subsidy, and the other parts can be taken back and read slowly when the time comes." ”

An Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, flipped to the admission instructions, and looked carefully one by one.

After she finished reading, Ni Yu said again: "After you arrive at the school, I will take you to register, and then the school will assign a special teacher to take you to the dormitory." ”

"Hmm."

"I'm also a teacher in the Three Thousand Empire, but it's not the scientific research group and the teaching group, but the field team, some life problems, you can contact me at any time, and when the time comes, you can find the information and contact information of each teacher on the communication terminal that the school distributes to you, of course, some teachers you go to contact him and ignore people."

An Xiaoyu listened to Ni Yu talk about things that were not written in the book, most of them were the use of some common equipment, interpersonal experience, etc., which were very important to her future life, she listened carefully as she usually attended, secretly wrote it down, and occasionally asked if she didn't understand.

The two of them sat opposite each other, or read a book, or explained, there were questions and answers, time passed quickly, Ni Yu was really a professional old commissioner, delicate and calm, the time of more than two hours was not boring at all, but it benefited An Xiaoyu a lot.

Suddenly, a huge base flashed in the window, square and vast, far away from the train, but even if it was so far away, it still made An Xiaoyu feel magnificent. A fork in front of it branched off the track and extended to the other side of the base.

Ni Yu pointed to the gray base and said to An Xiaoyu: "This is one of the resource collection bases built by the empire in the Eastern Desert, the whole base is divided into two parts, the upper part is used for the processing, distribution and transportation of resources, the life of the staff and the preliminary processing of the factory, and the bottom is extended in all directions, deep into the depths of the desert, mining the rare resources that are rich and stored in the desert underground, which are not found in other parts of the empire or even in other parts of the world." ”

An Xiaoyu looked at the resource base and pressed her face to the car window.

"There are about 30,000 such bases in the entire Eastern Desert, distributed in various places, and even some places are connected with some tribes, and even some new tribes are formed because of the base. This one should be the mining of conventional iron, copper and kerosene resources, and the scale is relatively small. ”

The train had been running for a few minutes, and the outer wall of the base was still receding in the window, looking like a fortress of gods from a distance, such a huge fortified city, in Ni Yu's mouth, was actually relatively small. An Xiaoyu's heart shook, so how big should the largest base be?

Ni Yu saw her thoughts and shook his head: "The world is vast, and there is no shortage of magnificent buildings in history, many of which have not burned out even after years of war, but sometimes there is no trace after a natural disaster. You see, these bases seem to be impregnable, but in the face of disasters in the Eastern Desert, you must be cautious. In front of heaven and earth, the great work of any living being is incomparably small. ”

An Xiaoyu nodded and quietly looked out the window.

Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. The truth is understood, and the truth is naturally said by anyone, but such a miracle is placed in front of them, and few people will not be shocked by it, and their eyes will naturally not be willing to leave.

Soon, the resource base became smaller and smaller in the car window, and it was about to disappear on the horizon at some point, so An Xiaoyu reluctantly moved her face out of the car window and continued to look at the thick book in her hand.

Ni Yu knew that the young people who came out of the tribes of the Eastern Desert would encounter many scenes that they had never seen in the past ten years, or even in their dreams, and would face many shocks and tests. But most of these young people, while shocked, remain unwilling and stubborn, relying on the firm belief and tenacious perseverance they have cultivated since childhood, through this test, to achieve achievements that are beyond the reach of many children of the imperial capital.

That's why he chose to be a correspondent on this route, and he has been working for more than ten years, and he has never felt bored, because watching these young people coming, he feels that he is not old.

However, just when he was relieved, the train suddenly trembled violently, accompanied by a huge roar that even the soundproof carriages could not stop.

"What's going on?" Ni Yu stood up and asked loudly.

The voice of the crew came from the front of the train: "I can't see clearly!" ”

Before the words fell, there was another roar, and Ni Yu clearly felt that it was not that the carriage was trembling, but that the whole earth was shaking, and the silver-gray train seemed isolated and helpless in the entire fluctuating sea of sand, and there was a danger of capsizing at any time.

Ni Yu asked loudly, while taking out the communication terminal with a strengthened signal, I don't know who to contact, and quickly sent out a danger signal and geographical coordinates. At this time, he had already walked to the other side of the train, his entire upper body was attached to the window, looking at the large patch of sand approaching in the distance, but he couldn't see what kind of danger was coming in the dust.

An Xiaoyu held her bag in her hand, sat in her seat uneasily, looked at the nervous Ni Yu, and didn't know what she had encountered and what she was about to face. This young girl who has just walked out of her hometown and towards her dreams, her brain is blank, and she has not even learned how to face strangers, and she is about to start facing the whole world?

The roar kept approaching, a large piece of sand and dust covered the windows of the train, and the entire carriage became dark, An Xiaoyu's palms were sweaty, Ni Yu didn't ask anymore, comforted An Xiaoyu a few rounds, stared out the window, and looked down at the communication terminal from time to time.

Suddenly, he turned around sharply and pounced on An Xiaoyu.

What the?

An Xiaoyu's brain stopped, watching Ni Yu throw herself to the ground with a hideous face, and before she could react, just as she was about to reach out to push, the sturdy carriage changed from trembling to shaking, and then a huge force rushed up from the bottom up, pushing An Xiaoyu under the seat and stuck.

The carriage was bent and deformed by the impact, and all the windows were shattered in an instant, accompanied by the particularly terrible sound of metal deformation and the sound of wind and sand, and it was thrown into the sky. There was a wailing sound in her ears, An Xiaoyu was firmly stuck under the seat, shaking all over the place, and Ni Yu on her body was quickly rushed out of the window by this force, and she didn't know where she flew.

The wailing in the carriage also flew away in a few breaths, and only the frightened girl in the carriage that had lost all its vitality was left, and with the left and right of the carriage, it flew away, drew an arc, and landed on the other side of the sea of sand, swinging a piece of dust.

An Xiaoyu almost fainted, but fortunately, this fall threw her out from under the seat and fell onto the roof of the car covered with elastic materials, which saved her from the danger of being shocked to death, she gasped, grabbed the bag in her hand, and got up.

Confused, she struggled to climb out of the carriage and stood on the familiar texture of the sand, and she looked out. The roar was still ringing, and the horror was as strange as the sorrow of heaven and earth.

She looked in the direction of the roar, and there was a few hundred meters of sand and dust between them, and occasionally flickering and looming in the dust were the huge insects that had always been huge, centipede-like insects, with gray-brown carapaces and countless pointed feet, coiling on the tracks, winding around the rest of the carriages.

The centipede squeezed the carriage with its body, and the sharp eagle easily peeled off the reinforced iron sheet, picking up something in the carriage.

An Xiaoyu looked at it twice, only to find that the centipede's hideous mouth was biting a white thing, which was clearly a person wearing a train uniform! Her heart thumped hard, she almost screamed, reached out and covered her mouth hard, and the whole person fell to the ground, gasping hard, and finally stopped screaming.

But apparently silence had no effect on the desert creatures, and the huge centipede had already eaten all the carriages, and circled, and immediately crawled in the direction of An Xiaoyu.

said that it was crawling over, but in fact, it could already be regarded as flying over. Countless pointed feet poked and swayed in the sand, raising patches of dust, and the whole sinuous body had quickly approached, and with the swing of the body, the abdomen hit the ground with a loud roar.

An Xiaoyu finally reacted, didn't even have time to shout, got up from the ground as soon as he was free, and ran away. The centipede behind her was already staring at her, approaching quickly, and there was a deafening loud noise behind her, accompanied by the flying sand and dust, and the sound of the carapace on her body hitting and rubbing against each other in the crawling, like hardwood planks hitting each other.

Feeling the fear behind her slowly approaching, An Xiaoyu's heart beat even faster, she couldn't help but look back, and saw the monster head that was not close at hand, but still clearly visible because of its huge size.

It was a terrible face, with foul-smelling saliva falling from its mouth, and the tips were stained with blood, and even a broken white cloth of uniform was stuck to the dried blood. The huge mouth had three rows of fangs, and in the cracks of the pitted carapace were six formidable beast eyes, glowing with a cold red light. In the approach, the behemoth roared, and its hoarse voice was eerie.

An Xiaoyu screamed at this time, her heart cracked, and tears floated out of the corners of her eyes and slipped down her sideburns.

Just when she was desperate and helpless, a man piloted a mecha to fall from the sky.

His name is Chi Mo.
