There's really no choice.

It is not difficult to choose whether to be caught by the Association of Four or to agree to an agreement with the True Shadow. The main thing is to get out of here as soon as possible, as long as you leave this place, there is always a way to escape.

Yes, Chen Shi admitted that he was running away, and he didn't think there was anything to be ashamed of, it was normal to run away if he couldn't beat it.

Also, now that you've reached the surface, you can ask 1214-B01 about another access tower.

The road was fairly unobstructed, because there were hardly any pedestrians on the streets, so the car was able to travel at a very fast speed, and it took almost ten minutes to cross the city and reach the so-called station.

The rails of the "New People" are almost identical to those of humans, but the rails built by Shikoku are contrary to Chen's expectations, and the rails here are completely sunk into two parallel pits, which means that the wheels of the train are stuck below the ground.

And the so-called train is also very different from the human train, not the carriage, but the so-called "steam locomotive".

That...... It wasn't a steam locomotive in the traditional sense, it was a huge and ugly-looking bug, with sharp toes like insects, densely packed with more than a dozen pairs, stuck on the solid dirt on the ground, and constantly spewing steam from its back.

"W-What is that?"

Chen Shi was stunned when he saw such a scene, the insect had many long metal poles hanging on its body, connected to the carriage behind, and through the window of the carriage, he saw two people constantly shoveling coal into the opening behind the worm.

"That's the fireworm, it's a specialty of the country of insects, they can devour coal and burn it in their bodies, as long as they keep feeding them coal, they can run down with the wagon almost indefinitely."

Ran Xiang casually explained.

, dare to love what you said to me before, let me misunderstand?

Is this your steam locomotive?

This...... Although it looks very similar, it is actually far from good!

The corners of Chen Shi's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what expression to use to express his current mood.

Ran Xiang didn't realize the speechless mood of Chen Shi next to him, he got out of the car and took Chen Shi and them straight to the station.

This station is very simple, just an open-air waiting room, at most a ceiling to block rain, so that Chen Shi can't help but think of the Capital East Railway Station built in 1938, the kind of pure natural waiting room that is smaller than the railway station of the small county town of Line 18, which is similar to this.

The carriage of this insect steam train is not small, with two upper and lower layers, and the length is about 8 carriages equal to that of the country, which is enough to accommodate many passengers.

However, there are really very few passengers going up and down, coupled with the gloomy sky and non-stop acid rain, as well as the breathing masks and black raincoats worn by every passenger, the cultural environment here makes Chen Shi very trance-like.

Is it because there are so few passengers that you are too lazy to build a large waiting station?

Is there even one ticket inspector?

The ticket inspector also wore a breathing mask, but a strange red symbol was marked on the raincoat to distinguish him from the other passengers.

Let Chen Shi and the others wait in place, Ran Xiang stepped forward, started a conversation with the ticket inspector, and after saying a few words, handed the pass document to the ticket inspector to look at, and then turned back and pointed to Chen Shi's side.

Wait, no, although this ticket inspector also checks tickets, he doesn't have any intention of checking his identity, and now all of them are wearing raincoats and breathing masks except for him and the girl, just like everyone here, is it necessary to do that?

Chen Shi frowned, and then realized that he dared to burn his emotions to save money, right? You don't need to pay for it with a pass document, do you?

If this is the case, after Ran Xiang signaled the passage documents to the ticket inspector, the ticket inspector immediately nodded, and then Ran Xiang came back, "That's it, let's go up." ”

After getting on this train, Chen Shi found that the carriages of this train were all separately separated compartments, and each compartment had a number in a second language, which was arranged in turn.

Without hesitation, Ran Xiang found one of the compartments and opened the door and walked in.

Chen Shi and his entourage followed closely behind, and stepped into the compartment slowly, there was no superfluous decoration inside, and there were simply two rows of upper and lower beds.

Thankfully, it's not an empty stone bed, and although it doesn't have a traditional mattress, it's a soft sofa-like leather elastic cushion that's quite comfortable to sit on.

With four beds, it's impossible for everyone to rest, and of course the people here aren't in much of the mood to rest at the moment.

Ran Xiang sat down, took off the breathing mask first, and gasped: "This thing is too uncomfortable to wear, and it smells disgusting." ”

Seeing that Ran Xiang took off his breathing mask, Xingdian and Bingyu in the back also hurriedly took off their breathing masks, they were even more unbearable than Ran Xiang, with a dead expression.

"By the way, Chen, I haven't seen you show your real face, I mean, aren't you uncomfortable like this all day? Is it okay to breathe? ”

"That's fine. I've always had an easy time with. ”

Chen Shi diverted the topic: "How long will it take us to leave the Ruined Capital?" ”

"We were lucky to catch the departing train...... I remember telling you before that the Ruined Capital is located between the four countries, and it intersects with the borders of the four countries, and it is quite easy to leave the Ruined Capital, about an hour later......"

An hour in a second language is roughly equivalent to an hour on Earth, and it may be a few minutes off, but in the end, it's not that far away.

Chen Shi nodded, "That means we will be out of danger in more than an hour?" ”

"I hope so."

Ran Xiang smiled reluctantly, as if there was something else hidden from him.

Everyone was silent, and before they could wait, the train suddenly moved slowly.

Chen Shi turned his head to look out the window, is this kind of train powered by biology really running?

Well, the strength of that bug is really terrifying, but how fast it can run is still questionable.

In the next few minutes, Chen Shi quickly lost his doubts, this insect is really terrifying, such a heavy carriage has increased its speed to 50-60 kilometers per hour in five minutes, and it has the meaning of gradually speeding up.

In the end, the speed stabilized to the point of 70 km/h.

In other words, if you consider driving in a straight line, the area under the same jurisdiction of Shikoku in the ruined capital has a radius of about 70 kilometers?

Time gradually passed, and Chen Shi's mood relaxed a little, but when he saw that the train was about to leave the shrouded area of the ruined capital, an accident happened.
