Fortunately, there were no other abnormalities in the future.

After the track was repaired, the steam locomotive continued to move into the distance, and after a few hours it broke out of the gray mist forest and came to the top of the Gobi.

Chen Shi couldn't help but feel a little tired, and he and 1214-B01 returned to the carriage where they were resting, and followed suit.

On the second day, after last night's incident, the two sides also had a foundation of mutual trust, and Chen Shi finally let down his high vigilance and tried the food of Xingdian.

It's not as delicious as expected, but it's not unpalatable, much like a yogurt salad, the level of a general buffet.

He also tried the meat that Xingdian said, that is, the meat with strong reproductive ability, called "pest", which tasted very similar to fresh and tender rabbit meat, but unfortunately it was a light taste, and there was no spicy taste that Chen Shi liked.

One night in the Great Gobi, in the morning, I saw that the Gobi gradually evolved into a grassland, as if even the air was filled with the smell of grass, so that Chen Shi couldn't help but want to take a deep breath, well, the filtered air has no taste.

"There are still four hours to get to Universal City."

Inside the carriage, Xingdian's eyes lit up, and he pointed to the scene outside the window to Chen Shi, "Look, that's the part of the city's defense circle, the fox wolf mountain range, ......"

At the end of the grassland, the endless cliffs and mountains appeared in Chen Shi's eyes, the relative height of the mountains is afraid of thousands of meters, all of them are hard cliffs, no grass and trees, and the steepness makes people look cold, even with the help of climbing tools, I am afraid that I will not be able to climb over such cliffs and mountains.

"Is the urban defense circle terrain?"

Chen Shi said unexpectedly.

In Xingdian's telling, Chen Shi learned that in fact, the safe place of the entire continent, that is, the urban defense circle, is a basin, surrounded by lofty mountains, cliffs and canyons, and it is also this natural danger that makes it difficult for huge monsters to climb to ensure the safety of their survival.

But the basin is not completely without exits, there are gaps in the mountains, or canyons that just open to the outside world, and 17 defensive cities are built on these entrances and exits.

However, such an urban defense circle still can't 100% block all the xenomorph monsters from entering, and the xenomorph monsters at the "Dawn" level and above, because they are too big, will not go over the cliffs and mountains, and only attack 17 defense cities. And the xenomorph monsters under the "Dawn" level, there are many fish that can fly, or slowly climb over the mountains to slip through the net, which leads to the fact that the urban defense circle is not completely safe.

"So we didn't see a single pedestrian or transport along the way, is that why?"

Chen Shi was thoughtful.

In the urban defense circle, Xingdian can still only travel through steam locomotives equipped with weapons, if they dare to travel alone, they will definitely not survive to go to the next city, and they will die halfway.

Chen Shi shook his head secretly, it is because the civilization of Xingdian has never been able to develop quickly, and it is for this reason that he can only look at the vast land and rich resources in the basin, which is too wasteful.

"I'm curious, you said that you came from the other side of the sea, and you didn't go through 17 defensive cities, do you mean you came in over the mountains?"

Xingdian's voice changed, and it came to this question.

Chen Shi pondered, "Yes, we came in over a lot of snowy mountains. ”

"Yes." Xingdian stopped at the point and didn't ask any more.

But Chen Shi felt that Xingdian was afraid that there was suspicion in his heart.

He couldn't help but sigh that lies can't be perfect after all, and when the time comes to know more information, let's hurry up and slip away with 1214-B01.

1214-B01 originally climbed this steam locomotive with the intention of going to the Universal City, but after a secret conversation last night, Chen Shi knew that it wanted to pass through the Universal City and then find a way to the upper floor.

Even 1214-B01 had the idea of going out through 17 defensive cities, and you can imagine how difficult it was to climb over those lofty mountains, not one or two, but a dozen, or even a hundred.

He was silent all the way, and when he was about to arrive at the Universal City according to Xingdian's words, Chen Shi didn't need to say much, opened the window, he stretched out his head to look ahead, and saw the skyline, where the mountains stretched and intersected, and an artificial building like a dam blocked the only entrance and exit.

"That's Universal City?"

At first glance, it looks like a dam, but if you look closely, it still looks like a dam, although it is not exaggerated to the dam that Chen Shi saw when he first came, but it is also much taller than the Three Gorges Hydropower Station, and it seems to be more than 500 meters high.

It's really powerful enough, if this is put in ancient times, any world's first male pass in front of it is worthless, as long as it is not broken internally, don't even think about breaking through this "city wall" by pulling a million people.

Of course, this "city wall" is not used to defend against the attack of "humans", but to defend against the invasion of xenomorph monsters.

"Wait, this shouldn't be positive, right?"

Chen Shi thought of something.

"Yes, this is the inner wall, and the front wall is even grander than this."

Xingdian nodded.

Chen Shi's vision was enlarged, and he also saw the sky above the Universal City, there seemed to be two or three ironclad ships flying in the sky, he knew that those ironclad ships were probably part of the magic change, and the engines used could not be studied by Xingdian's race.

He was about to withdraw his gaze, but in his magnified field of vision, he saw something strange, "Hey, what's that?" ”

Condensed his gaze, an animal with a body shape very similar to a hyena was hovering on the right side of the grassland, as if sniffing something on the ground, when Chen Shi looked at it, it seemed to notice something, and when he looked up, Chen Shi, who thought it was a hyena, changed color slightly.

It should be the position of the dog's head, but it is a split sharp tooth, like a man-eating flower, hovering deep into the neck, where did the head come from.

What's even worse is that the "hyena" obviously has no eyes, but it seems to be able to detect the steam locomotive, facing Chen Shi's line of sight, and then he sees one after another "hyenas" slowly walking out from behind the undulating grassy slope.

"Xingdian, that can't be your unique critter, right?"

Chen Shi stepped back and pointed to the outside world and said.

"What?"

Hearing this, Xingdian probed out suspiciously, then glanced at it a few times, and retracted his head suddenly, "It's not good, it's a 'strange spirit'." ”

"It's really ......"

Chen Shi was speechless, this is almost to the Universal City, and he has encountered a "strange spirit"?

It's no wonder that even the urban defense circle can't be cultivated, and the "alien spirits" encountered are too frequent, and there is no way to carry out production work in a stable manner.

Xingdian hurriedly activated the alarm in the steam locomotive, while Chen Shi carefully observed those "hyenas", and his expression gradually deteriorated, "Could this be too much?" ”

It's not just a little more, it's too much.

As the steam locomotive advanced, there were more and more "hyenas" under the grassy slopes, and thousands of "hyenas" chased the steam locomotive frantically.
