The smoky surface of the river, the breeze blowing through the turquoise water ripples in circles, and the vegetation is verdant and vibrant, in stark contrast to the desolate ruins seen along the way.

Looking at it from a distance, you can see that there are many convoys gathered at the ferry, and it is crowded.

This is completely different from what was expected to weigh nine pounds.

"Is that a parking lot?" Jiujin looked at the neatly arranged vehicles in the large open space near the ferry and was stunned for a moment, "If you can't drive, do you want to hike next?" ”

"The mountain road is too narrow for most cars to cross." Team Zhang was the first to open the car door and get out of the car, "We don't have to go to the parking lot, we can't drive in, we can only take it with us." ”

"Take it with you?" Weighing nine pounds, I am very puzzled, can such a big guy still carry it on his back.

Three minutes later, the group of three had already walked to the ferry.

Weighing nine pounds, he could feel the attention from the left and right sides, and the glances that Team Zhang and Arya glanced at from time to time did not hide too much.

Touching her face, she asked suspiciously, "Is there something on my face, why do you keep staring at me?" ”

"Aren't you curious?" Team Zhang said and deliberately raised his finger and pointed to his backpack.

Shouldn't a high school student who saw this scene scream excitedly, revealing Bambi's pure and curious gaze, and chattering non-stop?

The excitement of Lu's hand was poured with a basin of cold water by the cold reaction of nine catties.

Heavy Jiujin nodded, "It's a little bit." ”

Team Zhang felt that he weighed nine pounds at this time, and his reaction was finally normal.

"Didn't you say that there are strict standards for the use of alien technology on Earth, why can that car be downsized and placed?"

The concern of weighing nine catties made Team Zhang speechless.

Alia explains: "The car was not purchased from a legitimate source. ”

Smuggling, understood, "The alien purchasing agent that the president is looking for?" "Matthew's golden aperture in the heart of the tyrant weighing nine catties is a little brighter.

"Don't you wonder how it got smaller?"

"Isn't it through technological means such as quantum technology, I saw it when I was a child watching a movie, by changing the spatial distance between electrons to adjust the size of objects, just roughly understand it, no matter how detailed the principle is, I can't understand it." Weighing nine pounds, he recalled the content of that old movie, "Have you seen it, my parents especially like to watch old movies." ”

Team Zhang, who had memorized the instruction manual four or five times, was stuck in his throat when he explained it, "Well, that's right."

Before the ferry came, seventy or eighty people gathered at the ferry, and they formed a team in groups of three or five, and it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.

"Three more."

"Three is nothing, wait for the news to spread for a while, and there will only be more people in a few days."

"At first glance, it's three little kids, I don't know where I heard it, I thought there was a lot of fun."

The volume of the discussion is actually not high, but it can weigh nine pounds of ears, and you can hear it clearly.

The shaved Captain Zhang is still the oldest of the three, weighing nine pounds, although he is tall, he also looks immature, while Alya wears glasses and a ponytail, completely looking like a college top student nerd.

The three of them were full of immature youth.

Weighing nine pounds, look at Team Zhang and Aliya at this time, two masters who pretend to be tender, both of them have restrained their aura, and she doesn't believe it if she doesn't mean it.

A short, emaciated young man hesitated for a moment but walked over and stammered, "You too... It's also defogging... Kirikawa... Sichuan's? ”

The man also looked young, and had been shuttling through the crowd at the ferry, carrying a bulging shoulder bag on his shoulder.

"I'm... There's land here... Map...... Quiet... Safe hands... Manual, to... Do you want to come... Get a copy? ”

After listening to this sentence, he weighed nine pounds and held his breath for a long time.

"You're a local?"

The young man nodded, "Fog... Kirikawachi.. The terrain is complex, the climate is many... Changeable, unfamiliar with the road can be... You may get lost... In case of danger, bring.. Bring a map of An... Safety Manuals It's equivalent to having ... With a local guide, buy... Buy a copy! ”

I don't know how many times I've said this, but I'm still stumbling and stuttering.

"Are there so many people at the ferry?"

"It's... These days are especially numerous. ”

Team Zhang chatted with the stuttering youth.

On the border of the Kirikawa River, there is a village that is not marked on the official map, the village of Dukou.

The main business of this village is ferrying, whether it is in and out, but anyone who comes from Jingchu or wants to leave from Jingchu is the only way to go.

I looked at the notice on the sign at the ferry.

The first break point of this road through Jingchu to Wuchuan is here, and a ferry is required to reach Wuyatou Mountain, which is covered by dense fog in the center of the river, although it is still necessary to ferry, but the distance of this waterway is almost negligible compared to entering Wuchuan from other directions.

The ferry runs every 10 days, so if you miss it, you will have to wait for the next one, as the ferry may be cancelled due to weather and water conditions.

Team Zhang is worthy of being a police officer, and the interrogation methods are very effective in daily life, and when he handed over a cigarette, he chatted with the people of the scavenging team, and learned a lot of things from them.

"Recently, there have been frequent ground collapses in the foggy river, and many scavenging teams have heard the news."

Scavengers are a unique class that developed after the global Starburst, starting with searching for usable supplies and scrap in collapsed ruined cities, then searching for alien equipment wreckage, and then searching for all reusable resources.

These people wander in the wilderness and ruins all year round, and many of them have been exposed to high radiation in the wild for a long time because they have no money and no professional equipment.

A veritable high-risk occupation.

"It's very difficult to see these people in the old urban area, and even when they go back to the city, they mostly work in villages in the suburbs, such as Jingchu Beizhai, where many permanent residents used to do this."

Begging for a living is never easy, especially in times of scarcity of resources and social unrest.

Team Zhang looked at the weight of nine catties and sighed, "You were already much better when you were born, and a few years ago, when the earth had not joined the Universal Alliance, it was really chaotic and dangerous, and the third world war almost happened." ”

Heavy nine pounds nodded, the benefits of having a history teacher as a father are probably reflected here, what is the official history and wild history legends since childhood.

Team Zhang shook the map and safety manual in his hand, "Although we have satellite maps and navigators, the safety manual for locals has many safety tips that are updated in real time, much faster than official information updates, and there are many taboos that locals only know." ”

More and more people gathered at the ferry, but the ferry was delayed, and others said that the ferry was two days later than the original schedule.

No boat can only wait unless it can fly or is willing to swim over.

Weighing nine pounds, it is like a primary school student on the first spring outing, seeing everything is strange, looking left and right with a red panda wandering blindly.

"There's a stall here?" Weighing nine pounds, I was a little surprised to see the stalls on the inside of the parking lot, a straw mat was placed on the ground, and the goods were placed on the straw mat, and the miscellaneous things were difficult to identify at a glance, and there were two small stalls selling food.

The stall owner in front of him was a half-old child, weighing nine pounds, and the other party might be two or three years younger than her.

The children couldn't see clearly when they touched the black, earth-like objects.

Alia, who was traveling with her, pushed the frame, "Black grass mud is a paste made of a variety of herbs, which has a good radiation protection effect, and needs to be applied thickly, which is inconvenient to move when used, and is very cost-effective compared to similar products." ”

"Roasted tofu is very suitable, why don't you have some?" The young man's shout was clear, "You are all locals? ”

"Well, our ferry village is on the edge of the ah, black near, if you miss the ferry, you can go to our village to spend the night, and you won't get a few dollars."

Even though he speaks in tongues, he can understand it.

After a few small talks, I learned that the stalls were all locals, and the villagers of a small village and town nearby, taking care of the parking lot was their main business, and in order to supplement their lives, they would set up stalls when there were ferries coming and going at the ferry, selling some local products.

This is very different from the old cities, which still largely maintain the pre-Starburst social system and lifestyle.

She had heard of people living in small villages and towns scattered in the wilderness and ruins, but hearing about it was not the same thing as seeing it with her own eyes.

Alia said, "This ferry village is close to the border of Wuchuan and Jingchu, and it has frequent contacts with the outside world, which is not bad, and there are many villages and towns that have been closed for a long time and are almost isolated from the world.

Most of these villages and towns were formed during the period of frequent global disasters, and due to various reasons, they lost contact with the outside world and gradually formed a closed society, and some villages and towns were even extremely xenophobic and unwilling to communicate with the outside world. ”

As it is, the wilderness, the old city, the new district, and the earth seem to be divided into three different worlds.

There were no vehicles to park, and Nine-pound and Alya walked around the parking lot, which took an hour.

Heavy nine pounds and Alya returned to the river, and the thick fog on the river in the distance was filled, connecting with the sky, blocking the road ahead.

Taking a deep breath, the surrounding breath was mixed, and the sight weighing nine catties drifted to the river, the turquoise river water was sparkling, and a gust of river wind blew the watery breath into her nose, and she couldn't help but shiver.

"Is there a ferry coming today?"

"Wait patiently, I've been waiting for two days, who knows when this broken ship will arrive?"

"Won't it?"

"Little stammer!"

"Where's the little stammer?"

"In... In this... Here," the stuttering little boy walked up to the crowd, "to... To buy land... Maps? ”

"Lao Tzu bought a map the day before yesterday, whether the ferry boat came or not, why didn't there even be a ghost?"

That's not necessarily, weighing nine catties Hearing this, she subconsciously looked at the river again, the river water at the moment is very calm, but she can smell the breath of the dead, it is very strong, and the number of people and animals drowned in this river is only a lot.

She believes that no one wants to swim in the water now is justified and the right choice.

The little stammered and nodded, "To... Coming... ...... came."

When he was talking and talking, he was scratching his heart and liver, and a black shadow appeared in the thick fog and drove towards the bank of the river.

"The ferry, the ferry!"

"It's a ferry."

No one cared about the little stutter at this point, everyone looked at the ferry boat that was coming through the fog towards the shore.

The sudden sound of the motor sounded abruptly as the ferry made its way through the thick fog.

"It's coming, it's coming, it's finally here."

The ferry is a dilapidated fishing boat with rusty hull and splints, and when the boat comes to a stop at the ferry, people on the shore flock to it, even if the water is dripping.

The three people who weighed nine pounds fell last.

Not only did the ferry have no place, but even the cabin only had the cargo hold that originally contained the fish, and the fishy smell was thick and very humid and stuffy, so everyone preferred to crowd on the deck.

The boatman returned to the cockpit after receiving the ticket, and did not say a word from beginning to end, and some people tried to talk to the boatman, but they did not even get a look, and returned in vain.

Anyway, the ferry always went.

The sudden sound of the motor sounded again, deafening, and the hull shook slightly towards the dense fog, this time it was really about to enter the territory of the Kirikawa.

Standing on the edge of the plywood and holding on to the railing to look back at the shore, when the hull passed through the dense fog, only the outline of the river could be faintly seen through the dense fog, and the sound of the river was also isolated by the dense fog.

This ferry boat doesn't seem to be able to sail far, and that's exactly what happened, after passing through the dense fog, I saw the ferry on the other side of the river, and the five girls were close at hand.

Looking around, the visibility is not high due to the dense fog, and Wuyatou Mountain is the most obvious existence within the line of sight.

With the sound of the sudden motor of the ferry, the river surface rippled in circles.

Weighing nine pounds, he asked puzzledly, "This trip takes about a quarter of an hour, which is not a long time, why is there only one boat in ten days and half a month?" ”

"That's because there are usually only one or two guests, which is a waste of gas money, and people who take this road also know this rule, and they usually inquire about the ferry schedule and prepare in advance before coming."

Team Zhang pointed to the small mountain peaks erected on the map, "Look here, we can walk up the mountain road when we get to Wuyatou Mountain." ”

Weighing nine pounds, I carefully looked at the map of the foggy river, and the Daba mountain range was lying across the river, looking down from a high altitude like a vertical finger, just five poked into the sky, and formed a series on the river surface.

"Walk along the way to the four girls mountain, the three girls mountain...... It's not far from the coordinate destination. ”

Weigh nine pounds, and the thoughts along the way are constantly changing with the passage of time.

Ten minutes passed......

It's almost here, and there's a little excitement.

A quarter of an hour passed......

Eh, it's not here yet, it's possible to be late.

Twenty minutes passed......

What's going on?

Weighing nine pounds and looking up, Wuyatou Mountain is close at hand, and the location of the ferry is not far away, why is it always almost there?

Half an hour flies by, and the whole process is only a quarter of an hour?

There were no waves, no attacks, no ferry stopping, nothing happened, but why couldn't you reach your destination right in front of you?

"Team Zhang, are you sure you're not mistaken, it really only takes a quarter of an hour to get from the ferry to Wuyatou Mountain?"

Team Zhang pointed to the opposite mountain peak and said, "Yes, you see that is Wuyatou Mountain, isn't it almost there?" ”

"......." weighs nine pounds and frowns, which seems to be a little wrong.
