120. Raven who travels through time
A whistle sounded, accompanied by a flood of steam and a faint green light, and the train pulled out of the central station.
"Uh......h Bang Dang...... Bang Dang ......"
At the top of the junction of the carriages, there were several people lying on their stomachs, their bodies clinging to the metal roof of the train, wide gray robes, hunting and hunting by the wind carried by the speeding train, and the hot steam mixed with the dust in the air rushed towards them......
These people are the gray vulture squad led by the scalpers who evaded the fare and got on the bus, each of them is gray-faced, and the gray robes are also stained with oil, and the mysterious and strange temperament is gone.
This is a special train for the hunting team of Lanhai University, one for each person, and the passengers inside the carriage are also familiar with each other.
After careful consideration, the scalper still didn't dare to board the carriage, he was already frightened, and he was reluctant to use hypnotism until he left Area 53 completely. So he led his men and quietly climbed onto the roof of the train before it started......
The psionic steam train was built in a hurry, and the craftsmanship was very crude, and the various welds were handled haphazardly, and sharp burrs and metal surfaces could be seen everywhere.
The gray vultures were in great pain, their bodies were in pain, and their gray robes were torn and hung on their bodies like rags.
The scalper rubbed the oil on his hands on the roof of the carriage, snorted, and spit out the sand in his mouth, "The workmanship of this train is also bad, do the people in District 53 have a bit of craftsmanship?" ”
The rest of the gray vulture looked at each other a few times, and one of them said cautiously: "Boss, let's still engage in these things, if you want me to say, let's rush directly into the carriage, arrest that kid named Ye Ze, jump out of the car and leave, it's over, why are you still suffering from this crime!" (This sentence should make up for Huang Bo's accent (dog head))
The scalper glared at him, "You don't remember the purpose of our organization?" We're not black falcons, we have to keep a low profile. We don't do unskilled work like murder and robbery! ”
He paused for a moment and continued: "It's not that you can't do bad things, but you can't get caught. Lie down for a while, wait for the scope of District 53, create an accident, clean hands and feet, no one will suspect it. It's normal for a train in the wilderness to have an accident......"
"Lie down a little longer!"
"Hey, hold on, don't fall."
The gray vulture sighed in their hearts, the person didn't fall, and the force had already fallen to the ground and shattered.
……
In the carriage.
Because of the old railroad tracks, the train has a layout similar to that of the old ordinary express hard-seat trains, with seats facing each other and a small table in the middle.
Lu Xi sat opposite each other.
He Yan, Zhuo Ping, who participated in the hunting event for the first time, were very excited. They were discussing the name of the squad.
He Yan said: "Look how fast this train runs, it is equipped with a psionic engine, and it has plenty of power. Our team will be as strong as this train, and we will not be able to move forward. Why don't we call it ......?"
"Power ......"
"How about it called Momentum?"
Lu Xi almost didn't come up in one breath, thinking to himself, I thought you would call a power train.
Ye Ze stared at Lu Xi's reaction and said, "I don't think it's good, I think this name is very ordinary." ”
He Yan argued, "Where is it ordinary? Such a passionate name. ”
Lu Xi just smiled and didn't respond.
Several people kept thinking of new names, and kept vetoing them, and they didn't decide on the names for a long time, and they didn't feel irritated, and just regarded the naming process as a game.
Lu Xi leaned to the side and looked at the backward scenery outside the car window. The railway leading from the No. 1 barrier to the fortress of Shuangshan Station did not directly face the impact of the insect tide, and the surrounding environment was not damaged too much. But it's also desolate enough, with endless stretches of withered yellow weeds, thorny shrubs, and the ruins of abandoned buildings.
There was no trace of animal activity, and the sensitive beast sensed the breath of the insects and fled before the insect tide arrived, leaving only a lifeless wilderness.
Lu Xi suddenly saw a strange creature, like a long snake, winding its body and flying in the sky!
Its body has countless wings, and the movements of those wings are not synchronized, some are spread out, some are half-closed, and they wave according to a coordinated law, and the height and posture are smoothly transitioned, looking like a curve doing simple and harmonious movement.
This is a creature that Lu Xi has never seen before, its movements are very elegant, with a coordinated beauty, but it is also very weird, like a snake with countless wings, the head cannot be seen clearly, and there is an afterimage behind the tail.
"What is this?" Lu Xi asked.
Several people who had been arguing over the name looked out the window and let out an exclamation. Everyone else in the carriage also raised their heads.
"This is the Time Raven, a bird that has the ability to travel through time for short periods of time. You can understand it as being in the past, present, and future at the same time. Lin Yiqing opened his mouth to explain.
"Its appearance is no different from that of an ordinary crow, the long body is a superposition of its flight trajectory, and the ravens at different times, connected together, look like a snake with countless wings."
"If it's still, you can see what it really is."
"It's a very rare bird that is almost impossible to catch and impossible to domesticate. It is not present in the General Studies course on mutant organisms because it is not of a practical nature. ”
The rest of the spectacle lenses shone with curiosity, and He Yan showed an expression that he didn't understand but still felt very powerful.
Ye Ze said seriously: "This is the biggest drawback of modern education, too utilitarian, too focused on practicality, and disdainful of temporarily useless abilities and creatures. Such an attitude can only lead to the stagnation of technology. ”
Hearing Ye Ze's words, the rest of them fell into a short period of contemplation.
Lu Xi glanced at Ye Ze, what you said sounds quite reasonable.
The corners of Ye Ze's mouth raised a smile, and a person's prestige in the team was built up little by little.
Lin Yiqing continued: "It's also the first time I've seen a time raven, and I've only heard it mentioned by an older hunter. ”
Lu Xi repeatedly meditated in his heart, "Raven, traveling through time, exists in the past, present and future at the same time. For a while, some of him was in a trance, and some couldn't tell what time node he was in now, and his life seemed to have been interrupted for a hundred years, jumping directly from the past to the future.
He Yan and the others began to discuss the name of the team again, noisy and enthusiastic.
Many of the students in the carriage were participating in the hunt for the first time, fantasizing about a romantic hunting trip, fighting fierce beasts and harvesting prey. The atmosphere in the carriage was very warm.
Lu Xi had an illusion for a while, he was sitting on the train from his hometown town in the summer of a hundred years ago, he was going to report to the university, and a new life began in front of his eyes......
The long whistle of the steam train pulled him back to reality, and Lu Xi suddenly realized that it was late autumn a hundred years later, his hometown town no longer existed, the world had changed, and everything he knew no longer existed......
The only one who can prove that he once lived in this world is Lao Han......
"Raven." Lu Xi muttered in a low voice.
"Raven." He raised his voice and interrupted his teammates who were discussing names, "Our team is called Raven, which travels through time, is not domesticated, and cannot capture ......"
