Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Barren Lands
On the desolate land as far as the eye can see, a black locomotive sped by, rolling up long clouds of dust. In the blink of an eye, the locomotive disappeared into the sky.
The temperature of the Heavenly Energy No. 1 has dropped a little compared to before, and there is no trace of green in the boundless desolate land, not a trace of life. There is nothing but desolation here.
There were still clouds in the sky today, and the sunlight shone on Jiang Xiaohao's helmet, reflecting a dazzling light. He's been driving for about a month straight. Now he has reached the most inhospitable part of Taigang: the Barren Lands.
The phantom locomotive is so powerful that Jiang Xiaohao can even lie on it to rest and let it find its way automatically. This month, Jiang Xiaohao rarely drove a locomotive, except for eating and sleeping, he practiced. It's just occasionally boring, so I touch the car twice to have a good time.
"Walked for so long! The water and food are almost consumed," Jiang Xiaohao stared at the monitor on the locomotive and muttered to himself. For more than a month, although Jiang Xiaohao has been cultivating for most of the time, his food intake is relatively small. But if he can't find a place to stay, it is estimated that he will starve to death in this wilderness sooner or later.
The car was still moving fast, and suddenly there were tall and straight things faintly appearing on the small hillside in the sky. "Huh? Is that? Jiang Xiaohao couldn't see clearly, so he had to speed up and take a look.
As Jiang Xiaohao slowly approached, the outlines of those things also appeared, and those tall things and this blade kept rotating.
"Oh~ It turned out to be a wind turbine! Looks like there must be someone here! Jiang Xiaohao had a long-lost smile on his face, it seemed that he had now arrived at the gathering area of the barren land.
"We're about to reach the Barrens Gathering Area!" Phantom M's intelligent system prompted.
"Ah~~, I can finally see a figure!" Jiang Xiaohao yawned, stretched and said.
The Gathering Area is the largest human gathering area in the Barrenlands. From the air, it looks like a small town. It is surrounded by high walls, which are densely packed with different types of houses, and these houses are gray in color.
The most conspicuous is the power station located in the center of the agglomeration, which uses wind, solar, nuclear and other energy sources to generate the electricity that the agglomeration needs on a daily basis.
The guards on the city wall saw a black locomotive coming in the distance and immediately became vigilant. All defensive weapons were aimed at it.
"You've entered the Gathering Area defenses, please get out of the car immediately and be checked! You've entered the Gathering Zone defenses, get out of the car and get checked! ”
Jiang Xiaohao heard the shouting from the opposite city wall, and immediately pinched the brakes and drifted.
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous! Escape! Jiang Xiaohao got out of the car and quickly took off his helmet, raised his hands and shouted.
Seeing that he got out of the car, a team of men and horses rushed out of the gate, and they quickly surrounded Jiang Xiaohao All the weapons were aimed at him.
A tall, middle-aged man with a gun on his shoulder. Xiang Jiang Xiaohao walked over and said, "Friend? What a good bike to do in the gathering area! ”
"Ouch, big brother, don't get me wrong! I can't offend people who shouldn't be offended, so I ran here to hide! Jiang Xiaohao immediately pretended to be submissive.
"Humph! I haven't seen anyone run for their lives in a phantom! The man said to the crowd suspiciously, loudly.
"Big brother misunderstood, I stole this car! If the eldest brother asks me to go in and hide, please let the eldest brother laugh at this car! Jiang Xiaohao immediately said knowingly, he naturally understood this man's thoughts.
The man took a look at the phantom locomotive behind Jiang Xiaohao with his weapon glasses, and pretended to say, "Hmph! Give me less set almost! Frisk! ”
Jiang Xiaohao spread his hands and let them search. He now has nothing but a car and food and a little money.
"Report! No weapons found! A thin man reported.
The middle-aged man looked Jiang Xiaohao up and down again, and saw that he was thin and thin, and there should be no one to threaten him, so he said, "Take him in!" ”
"Ouch, thank you, big brother!" Jiang Xiaohao immediately said, how can he take care of it now.
The man ignored him and walked straight in front of Phantom M. Put down the gun in your hand and can't wait to touch it. The eyes of the prime of life were shining, and he touched the car from front to tail, from left to right.
Jiang Xiaohao shook his head and followed the others in.
When you go inside, you can see that this place really gives people a very poor feeling. Not only are the houses gray, but they are also a bit dilapidated. It's not like the big cities that have protective shields, so there's still wind and sand drifting through the gathering area from time to time.
"I'll go, this place is too shabby!" Jiang Xiaohao looked around on the street, this place was really a bit unexpected.
He found a place to eat and was ready to eat something. As soon as I sat down, I heard someone next to me discussing:
"Did you hear that? Outside, it's all ruled by the military! ”
"Ouch, it's not! Even the big powers have recognized the rule of the military! ”
"Then you say, we are ruined, will the military do it?!"
"it! There is nothing to be done in this hellish place in the barrenland, and it will not come to any good! ”
"Rice is coming, rice is coming! Hurry up and eat, eat well and go to work! ”
Jiang Xiaohao listened to the conversation between the two silently, and saw that the two of them should be working in the power plant.
"Unexpectedly, in just over a month, the military has already ruled most of Taigang." Jiang Xiaohao thought in his heart, at least he was safe now.
Jiang Xiaohao quickly pulled the rice into his mouth, like a ghost. After eating, I found that my pocket was empty.
"Hey, it's really hard to move an inch without money. I'll have to find a job to do, so let's stay for the time being! Jiang Xiaohao left the place to eat and went to find work.
This place should be the easiest place to find work in the power plant. Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Xiaohao went over, he found a job inspecting and maintaining the power transmission lines of wind turbines.
About 50 percent of the electricity in the agglomeration area is the huge windmills, and it is essential to maintain and inspect them from time to time.
And the power plant is still wrapped, so it's eaten~ Jiang Xiaohao heard that the rice thieves in the power plant were unpalatable, so the workers generally went out to eat.
"Now that I've settled down, I'm far from being able to compete with the military. But when I reach the second god, who in this world can stop me? Jiang Xiaohao was wearing a shabby T-shirt, sitting on an iron plate bed and practicing, planning what would happen next.
Since coming here, after so long, his cultivation has almost reached the middle stage of the Tian Yuan Realm. It won't take long for him to break through to the sub-god, and at that time he will be the real powerhouse in heaven and earth.
What high-end weapons, what annihilation cannons can be ignored.
