Three days later, Huaiyuantang's airship landed at the airship base of a strange city in the middle of the desert for the second replenishment of the journey and the first repair after being attacked by the iron-beaked ibis. Museum of Literature

That encounter with the attack of the iron-beaked ibis, although in the end only one of the airbags in the airship airbag compartment completely lost its ability to float, but in order to maintain the balance and stability of the airship's flight, the airship with twelve airbag compartments took the initiative to release a lot of helium from the other airbag compartment opposite the attacked airbag compartment during the later flight, and also adjusted the air pressure of the other three airbag compartments, which made the airship's time drop by one-third in the next three days. From more than 100 kilometers per hour, it fell to a level of about 70 or 80 kilometers per hour.

Airship flight is a complex technical job, and Zhang Tie only knew from others how much adjustments he needed to make to make the airship continue to fly smoothly after being attacked by an iron-beaked ibis.

That is, in these three days, because of the battle with the iron-beaked ibis, Zhang Tie's identity on the airship has changed a little, although he is still a special guest living in the passenger cabin, but most of the crew on the airship know him.

When the airship was about to land at the city's airship base, Zhang Tie also walked out of the cabin like other passengers, and came to the vast airship deck, looking at the city full of strange atmospheres below.

What impressed Zhang Tie was the terrifying cacti that surrounded the city, which were often forty or fifty meters high, and those cacti formed the city's city walls. There are buildings with strange domes everywhere, and in the middle of the city, there is a lake of no small size.

The airship base that can accommodate Huaiyuantang's airship landing is right next to that lake.

The bitter cold wind of winter when they left Karol had turned into a warm sun hanging in the sky, and the passengers standing on deck had now taken off their bulky warm clothes and dressed lightly.

"This is the desert city of Loulan, and the population of the entire city and the vicinity of the city add up to 4.1 million people!" Just as Zhang Tie was looking at the city below. Zhang Zhitian had already appeared at Zhang Tie's side and introduced Zhang Tie to the city below the airship.

After being saved by Zhang Tie that day, Zhang Zhitian, who was still two years older than Zhang Tie, had become friends with Zhang Tie at this time.

"How's it going, are you getting better?" Zhang Tie looked at the young boatman whose skin was tanned by the sun on his face, and Zhang Zhitian's eyes were narrow. Maybe it's the same reason for the same bloodline, it looks like it's two points similar to the old brother's, this guy looks Sven on the outside, but under Sven, he has a fierce temperament that ordinary people can't imagine.

Thinking of the appearance of this guy and the iron-beaked ibis desperately on the airship's airbag that day, Zhang Tie quietly shook his head in his heart, and sure enough, he was not a human being.

Heard Zhang Tie's inquiry. A smile appeared on Zhang Zhitian's face, and he raised his arm slightly, "After using a low-grade recovery potion and applying some wound gel, I rested for these two days. It's already much better! ”

"By the way, did you guys often encounter this before?" Zhang Tie asked casually.

"How can this happen so often, if it's so dangerous every time, then wouldn't all cargo airships become targets for those high-level mutant creatures that can fly?"

"You're saying it's uncommon?" Zhang Tie was slightly stunned.

"It's not uncommon. It's very rare, and I've been on this airship for three years. But it's the first time I've encountered such a dangerous situation as a few days ago, although I've encountered some flying mutant creatures and monsters harassing airships before, but it's not as ......dangerous as this time," Zhang Zhitian patiently explained to Zhang Tie, "Although you see that this airship seems to be able to fly everywhere in the sky, but in fact, the routes of large cargo airships like ours are relatively fixed, and on these routes, there are basically no too high-level creatures that can directly threaten the safety of the airship. This is an important consideration in the selection and exploration of airship routes, if there are many mutated creatures or monsters in a certain airspace that can threaten the safety of airship routes, then, under normal circumstances, airship routes will choose to bypass this area, which is similar to ships sailing on the sea, although the sea is vast, but not everywhere can go. ”

Zhang Tie suddenly realized, "I also think it's strange, I feel that those iron-beaked ibises seem to be a little too smart, they seem to know how to avoid the shooting area on the deck, and specifically choose the most lethal place on the airship, which is also the place where everyone's weapons can't reach to attack?" ”

Zhang Zhitian looked to both sides, and after seeing that not many people were paying attention to him and Zhang Tie, he lowered his voice and told Zhang Tie a message, "I heard the discussion between the captain and the first mate, and they also felt that the attack of the iron-beaked ibis this time was a little weird, in the past few years of sailing, there has never been a trace of the iron-beaked ibis on this route, and this time it is a lot, things are a little abnormal!" ”

"Could it be that there is someone behind this who is manipulating?" Zhang Tie also felt slightly surprised.

At this time, the airship, after getting the confirmation of the ground signal, has been vacated by the ground base above the airship landing position slowly lowered the altitude, when there are still a few hundred meters from the ground, the airship has thrown several huge ropes, the ground vehicles and personnel after receiving the rope thrown by the airship, one by one are busy, originally in the sky because of the wind direction of the airship is still a little swaying airship suddenly stabilized, and the degree of descent is also accelerating.

Zhang Zhitian only glanced down slightly, and then retracted his gaze, "The fifth-level creature of the iron-beaked ibis because of its sharp and pointed beak, in the air, the threat to the airship can be ranked among the top three of all creatures below the sixth level, this kind of creature that can threaten the safety of the airship airway suddenly appeared in large numbers without any warning between the originally safe airship channels, and the commanders on the airship all judged that someone was operating behind the scenes, This time, if our airship is not a hard airship with an advanced airbag compartment design, but other soft airships, everyone on the airship may not be able to come back this time! ”

Zhang Tie took a breath of cold air, although he already had a certain suspicion beforehand, but when this suspicion was confirmed by someone more experienced. He still felt a little frightened, "Could it be that someone is targeting Huaiyuantang?" ”

"I don't know!" Zhang Zhitian shook his head, "But we will soon know that the desert city of Loulan is the most important air traffic hub within two thousand kilometers in the vicinity, after landing in Loulan City, as long as we ask if there are any other airships that have encountered this kind of thing, the commanders will probably be able to make a judgment?" ”

"What if someone really targets Huaiyuantang?"

Zhang Zhitian showed a proud smile on his face, "Then as long as we return to the Huaiyuan Tang clan, naturally someone will come to settle accounts with those guys!" No one can calculate Huaiyuantang without paying the price! ”

Zhang Zhitian's self-confidence of getting out of age also infected Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie's face also showed a smile, this is the confidence to have a powerful family behind him, such a confidence makes a young man on the airship of the merchant group under Huaiyuan Hall encounter danger and difficulties. They all seem to have the same arrogance as Reinhardt faced the enemy. Thinking of the Zhang family in Huaiyuantang, and thinking about the situation of his father and the family at the moment, Zhang Tie quietly sighed in his heart.

"Speaking of Huaiyuantang, I still don't know a lot about Huaiyuantang, can you tell me about it?"

"Well, I estimate that it will take at least a day to complete this supply and airship repair in the desert city of Loulan this time, anyway, I am recuperating from my injuries at this time. It's nothing, if you have this time, I'll give you a good talk about Huaiyuantang! Hearing that Zhang Tie took the initiative to ask him about Huaiyuantang, a smile appeared on Zhang Zhitian's bronzed face.

"Jinyun Kingdom is a human nation composed of the Chinese as the main body. Our Huaiyuantang is one of the six great families of Jinyun Kingdom, with eight cities under its command, more than 1,000 miles of clan land, and occupies a county in Jinyun Kingdom. The name of the county is the hall name of Huaiyuantang of our Zhang family, and each generation of Huaiyuantang inherits the title of Earl Feng, the patriarch, and is respected by all members of the family. The position of the head of the family was elected by the family elder group, but in the past two hundred years, the position of the head of the Zhang family of Huaiyuan Hall has been inherited by the Donghai City lineage, and it has been inherited to this day......"

Zhang Zhitian spoke eloquently, and Huaiyuantang's impression in Zhang Tie's mind gradually became clear.

……

After the airship landed, many people on the airship were busy, because the desert city of Loulan lacked mineral resources, so many high-grade alloys and ordnance brought by the airship from Karur City were sold here, which brought huge profits to the Changfeng Merchant Group.

After selling the goods brought from Karul, Zhang Tie saw that the airship had purchased a lot of things from the desert city of Loulan, and under Zhang Zhitian's introduction, Zhang Tie knew that there were three main things that the airship purchased here, the first was a ruby, the second was something in the body of a mutant lizard in the desert, I heard that it was a certain material for making zuò bows and arrows, and the third thing was said to be a special cactus secretion, which could directly bond the wound on the person.

While all kinds of goods are coming in and out of the cargo hold under the airship, the water, coal, and food needed by the airship are also replenished here.

After landing, the repair of the airbag compartment of the airship is also being carried out in an intense and orderly manner.

After landing on the ground, under the leadership of a familiar airship crew, Zhang Tie took a walk around the desert city of Loulan, and the barbecued scorpion meat of Loulan City and the cacti that protected the city after mutation gave Zhang Tie a deep impression.

At night, the temperature in Loulan City dropped sharply, and it suddenly became even colder than when they were in Karur City, which suddenly made the passengers on the airship feel the taste of ice and fire.

That is, at night, the captain of the airship, the first mate, and several of the main characters all sat in the control room of the airship with a frown.

"Have you inquired about the news?" The captain of the airship asked a man sitting at a table.

"I have inquired clearly, in addition to us, among the airships that have come to Loulan for supply and rest in the last three days, five have encountered the same situation as us, and they have all been attacked by a large number of iron-beaked ibis, those five airships are all hard airships with protective armor, and after paying a great price, they reluctantly came to Loulan, and in addition, there are several airships that have agreed on delivery times with several merchant groups in Loulan City, but they have not reached it until now, and they have been missing for several days, all the missing airships, They are all relatively backward single-airbag soft airships! ”

The eyes of the captain of the airship smoking his pipe narrowed, and he asked after a long time, "Is there any news about the destruction of the elder family of the Carlo Federation Pill Pharmacist Guild?" ”

"No, although the wanted warrants of the Carlo Federation and the Pill Pharmacist Guild have now spread throughout Weiyi Sub-University 6, those murderers seem to have disappeared out of thin air!" The man who spoke glanced at the captain of the airship, "Is there a relationship between the two?" ”

"I don't know if it matters, what I do know is that this world and the airship course seem to have started to become dangerous overnight!" The captain of the airship's eyes flashed with a calm and stern light, "Fix the airship as much as possible, and then go and contact those merchant airships that have been attacked by dangerous creatures at the same stop as our target, and everyone will leave Loulan together!" ”

"Yes!"
