Chapter 90: The Twin Cities
From a distance, the sky of the Twin Cities was dark, shrouded in thick layers of mist, like an ethereal mirage.
The towering iron walls are majestic and majestic, adding a bit of unknown mystery to the already mysterious twin cities.
Beyond the glittering silver-blue walls of the iron walls is endless desolation and loneliness. The dense pebbles in the desert roared with the wind and made a dull crashing sound, and the sandstorms did whatever they wanted, continuing to roll between the heavens and the earth, as if the Cretaceous era had reached the end of the mass extinction era.
It was the middle of winter in the north, but within ten miles of the Twin Cities, there was not a single snow in sight, and not a single river was frozen. This is all thanks to the huge chimneys that are higher than the city walls and as dense as a jungle, and the smoke and dust are constantly rising from the chimneys, as if they are taking a sauna in the whole sky. The river was filled with a strong fishy smell, and the filthy water wandered around, not knowing where to go.
Around the tall city walls, braided soldiers in bronze armor can be seen everywhere. Three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post, this is one of the most heavily guarded cities in the world. The pigtailed soldiers were dressed very strangely, in addition to the big caps that got in the way, they were carrying rifles while holding the ghost-headed knives tightly in their hands.
Without the permission of the king of the northeast, the people in the city could not get out, and the people outside the city could not enter. If they are caught by the whip army defending the city, they will correct the law on the spot. Of course, there is one kind of person who can come and go freely, and that is the pretentious scientists. They are in the Twin Cities and will receive the highest courtesy, but if they are only three-legged cats with half a bottle, then what awaits them will be Ling Chi's capital punishment that is worse than death.
Zhang Yue parked the helicopter in front of the tall crimson city gate, she could have directly jumped over the ten-zhang high iron wall, but in this way, the "Frost Mecha" and the "Gluttonous Devouring Machine" would not be able to enter the Twin Cities. How could the guards not recognize Zhang Yue, but they could not recognize Frankimir and Kafka.
Two huge wolf and tiger beasts sit on both sides of the city gate, this is the perfect life form born after the genetic recombination of the Russian wolf and the Siberian tiger, and it is also the most beloved biochemical beast of the Tatars, just in this twin city, there are 100,000 wolf tiger beast cavalry.
They have the majesty of a tiger and the agility of a hungry wolf, their sharp gaze allows them to move in the dark, and their sharp claws can easily pierce the hard armor of mechs.
In the Far East, there is no more powerful biochemical beast than the wolf-tiger beast, which is simply a natural creature created by God. However, who would have thought that it was the Western-style bureaucrats of the Qing Empire who created them.
The rude-looking city chief did not wear a helmet. At this time, he was with a few soldiers, in the corner under the city gate, punching orders. Suddenly, he saw the princess coming out of a helicopter, and immediately ran to the princess to say hello.
Zhang Yue didn't say anything to them, the city head official naturally didn't dare to say much, and stood silently aside with his hands down, and the other soldiers could only bow their heads and remain silent.
It didn't take much effort, and the two mechs came to the Twin Cities at the same time. Zhang Yue waved and let them come out of the mecha. The three of them knew that this city was not easy to enter, so they didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly crawled out of the mecha.
Zhang Yue said to the city chief: "They are my friends, I want to take them into the city, my friend is injured, and he is unable to move, you go and find me a car, as big as possible." And find someone to help me transport the helicopter and these two mechs back to my house. ”
The city head official said yes again and again, and he didn't dare to have any delay, so he turned around and went to arrange his subordinates. At the same time, the soldiers on both sides lined up and respectfully welcomed their group into the Twin Cities.
Walking into the Twin Cities, you are greeted by a hot heatwave. The temperature here can reach about 30 degrees, which is not the equator with four seasons, but a snow country with a cold winter. The industrial pollution of the Twin Cities is beyond the limits of nature's ability to bear it, but also beyond the limits of what humans can imagine.
As far as the eye can see, the smoke is thick, the fire is soaring, the blast furnace can be seen everywhere splashing hot iron sparks, dense chimneys, like an endless forest.
The air here is hot and muddy, with a strong smell of rust and oil. Pedestrians come and go, wrapping themselves tightly. A breeze blew, and the metal debris mixed with the air cut his cheeks and hurt.
"It's best to bring this with you when you come here, so as not to damage your respiratory tract." Zhang Yue said, took the gas mask from the city official, and handed it to everyone, it felt very uncomfortable to bring this thing, but there was no other way to be safe.
"This place is like hell, and the smoking molten steel is like lava in hell." Kafka's eyes widened and he said that he had heard people talk about the Twin Cities a lot, and he still couldn't believe it, and what he saw with his own eyes was the hellish sight.
There is no sunshine here, only eternal night.
"It's been this way since I was born, and it's getting worse and worse, and it's almost impossible to breathe. Due to the increasing pollution and exhaust fumes, the people in the city are more or less suffering from respiratory diseases. My father didn't set out to change the situation, he was passionate about making weapons that he would never think were enough. It's an arsenal, and I dare say it's probably the largest arsenal in the world. ”
"I agree with that, just count the chimneys. I don't think the industrial chimneys of the entire Far East, all taken together, are as many as those in the Twin Cities. Professor Saul looked back and said, agreeing that the Twin Cities were better known than they met.
"Let's try as fast as we can and help the Warden find a witch doctor with great medical skills." Yulia was more concerned about the warden's situation than their long sighs.
"We have a Madamalt Madacock here, and she's the best witch doctor in the city, and the best witch doctor in the world. I think if I could help you as a warden, she would be the number one person. Without further ado, we will go to her now, she is said to be as old as the Empress Dowager of the West, and was once the royal witch doctor in the Qing court. Zhang Yue said.
"We're new here, and we're in charge of the Twin Cities, so we'll go wherever you think we should go." The warden said weakly.
"Madame Peacock lives on a hillside not far south of the city, less than an hour from here. I had the guards get us a car, my helicopter and your mechs are too heavy, and most of the roads in the city are narrow. If you don't mind, I'll have you mechs transported back to my mansion first. We'll take a car to get there, so it's more convenient. ”
Hearing Zhang Yue say this, and then looking at the embarrassing streets in the city, there seemed to be no other better choice, so everyone had to nod and agree. This is the world of her Zhang family, even if Zhang Yue has the heart to calculate everyone. At this moment, the sheep is in the mouth of the tiger, and it is no longer possible to think about it so much, it is better to simply let it go, and the extra vigilance will seem meaningless and will give people a feeling of insincerity.
Having said that, they can't be defenseless at all, and each of them is more or less able to take some self-defense weapons from the cockpit of the mecha in case of emergency.
At this time, a slender silver-white sports car stopped in front of everyone.
