Chapter 57: The Difficulty of Traveling
The train gradually moved away from the southern city.
After leaving Nancheng, there is an outpost every twenty miles on the railway, but whenever there are monsters, the outpost will warn the train in advance, and at the same time send a clean-up team to clean up these monsters.
Because of this, the train traveled all the way without any obstacles and at extremely fast speeds.
Xia Fan looked at the boundless desert outside the window, and there was a trace of boredom in his eyes.
After sending a few messages to his parents on his mobile phone, he closed his eyes and began to close his eyes to recuperate.
After about four hours of travel, the train reached the first city, and two of the ten people in the carriage went down, and it was already afternoon.
After a twenty-minute break, the two empty spaces were filled with new passengers, and the train continued on its way.
……
I don't know how long it has been, it is late at night outside, snoring in the carriage is one after another, and there are also a few seats with a faint light of mobile phones.
Xia Fan closed his eyes, but he didn't sleep.
Not long after, the train suddenly braked suddenly, and the carriages trembled three times, and many people immediately woke up from their sleep, complaining more than once.
"What's going on? Scared the hell out of me! ”
"I'm dreaming of talking to beautiful women about my dreams in life! Suddenly I was shaken away! ”
Just as they were complaining, the lights in the carriage suddenly turned on, and a chime sounded over the loudspeaker.
"There is a group of monsters two kilometers ahead, and the staff is cleaning up, please be patient."
Hearing this, the complaints immediately stopped, and were replaced by discussions about demon beasts, especially a few martial artists, not only did they not worry, but they discussed with relish.
Obviously, it's not uncommon for this to happen tonight.
On the contrary, a few ordinary people frowned, and the worry in their eyes lingered.
Xia Fan was not surprised to see this, the train fare is expensive, ordinary people rarely go far away, it is difficult for them to see a formation like today, and it is inevitable to worry.
"Mom, when are we going to see Daddy......"
The little girl in the mother and daughter suddenly asked in a whisper.
"It won't take less than a day to see my dad, wait."
The little girl's mother said casually, but her eyes kept looking out the train window, as if she was very worried about the situation outside.
Hearing their words, Xia Fan could almost conclude that the mother and daughter were military families.
Husbands and wives live apart, and this situation is generally only seen in military personnel.
In this era, it was very difficult for a warrior to join the army, because there was no such thing as retirement, and there were frequent wars, and the death rate was extremely high.
In addition, military discipline is strict and the garrison is dangerous, so it is basically impossible to bring family members in the army.
But the upper echelons will not treat this group of warrior soldiers as emotionless machines, taking into account various factors, the military department will give these warrior soldiers a two-month change period every year.
During the change of guard, you can move freely in the city where you are stationed and reunite with your family.
Even so, in the event of a war, they still have to go to war immediately.
But that's it, people who want to join the army are still flocking to it, because the salary of soldiers is extremely high, as long as the talent is good enough, there will be no shortage of resources for training martial arts in the army, and there will be a day when they will get ahead.
In addition, the families of military personnel are also the key objects of protection.
Each city has its own community, with the army patrolling the gate 24 hours a day.
Criminals don't dare to commit crimes against military families, otherwise the bounty will be scary, and even the military will directly send experts to kill you.
This kind of protection for family members alone is enough to attract many people to join the army.
"Big sister, you don't have to worry, there are several martial artists in this carriage, and the demon beasts are really here, and they will not let you ordinary people stand in the way."
An uncle in the carriage seemed to see the woman's worries and said with a smile.
As soon as he spoke, several other warriors laughed as well.
There is really nothing to worry about when the train encounters a group of demon beasts, they don't have two hundred warriors on this train, but also one hundred and fifteen.
What kind of demon beasts are so many warriors afraid of? Unless they encounter a tide of demon beasts, they will threaten them.
But if there was really a tide of demon beasts, it would have been detected by the military a long time ago, and the army would come over soon, and it would not be their turn to worry at all.
The little girl's mother smiled embarrassedly when she heard this, and said softly: "Thank you, big brothers, this is the first time I have gone far away, and I don't have much knowledge, so I let you laugh." ”
"It's used to going far away a few more times, it's normal to meet a few monsters on the road, by the way, is the little girl's father a soldier?" Someone asked.
Before the woman could answer, the little girl replied first: "My father is a second lieutenant officer, and he was just transferred to the war state at the beginning of the year!" ”
Seeing the pride on the little girl's face, the people in the carriage laughed again, even Xia Fan was no exception.
This little girl is only four or five years old, she is very beautiful, she doesn't cry or make trouble along the way, she is very well-behaved, for such a child, normal people will like it.
However, just then, another siren was heard from the loudspeaker in the carriage.
"There is a third-order peak demon beast ironclad rhinoceros in the demon beast group, which has broken through the blockade, please pay attention to safety and do not leave the train ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the tone of the alert officer suddenly became extremely anxious.
"The ironclad rhinoceros is coming along the railway towards the train, and it is expected to arrive in dozens of seconds, please get off the train immediately and take shelter! Warriors pay attention to protecting ordinary people! ”
As soon as the words fell, the door of the train carriage popped open.
"Big sister, you ordinary people go first, don't worry!"
The uncle warrior shouted loudly, and his voice was not as calm as before.
Several ordinary people were not polite when they heard this, and immediately got out of the car, and the rest of the martial artists followed, and Xia Fan was among them.
At this moment, his expression also became solemn.
The third-order peak demon beast, that is close to the mid-level demon beast, the physical body is already terrifying.
If this kind of monster beast collides, it is no different from a strengthened tank, and ordinary guns and rockets pose no threat to it at all.
If the train were hit like this, they wouldn't be able to get out of here anytime soon.
"All passengers are gathered here! Warriors are in front, and ordinary people are behind. ”
After getting off the train, the warning sound in the carriage sounded again, only this time she shouted it herself not through a megaphone.
Hearing this, the passengers immediately walked in the direction where the sound was, but it took more than ten seconds to concentrate on the side of the train car.
Standing at the forefront was the train guard, led by a halberd with a solemn gaze and a grim expression.
Behind the escort were a bunch of passenger warriors, and at the back were ordinary people.
Just as the formation was formed, the earth suddenly shook slightly, and the roar came from far and near.
Immediately after that, everyone saw a rhinoceros monster with scarlet eyes and several times larger than an elephant, rushing towards the train from hundreds of meters away at a speed of more than a hundred yards!
