As the morning sun rises, the golden light pierces through the thin snow mist and falls on the vast Russian land.

Heading east from Moscow, almost parallel to the parallel, an electrified railway double line stretches to the horizon in the direction of the rising sun, and rows of heavy-haul locomotives tow pantographs to and fro along the solid railway line.

The Trans-Siberian Railway, the longest railway in the world at the time of its completion, was the longest railway in the world at the time of its completion, and this record has not been broken to this day -- yes, who else but the Soviet Union, which was so vast that it could build a railway line of more than 9,000 kilometers in length, and even then it was far from reaching the east and west ends of the country.

"Ah, Lisa, the view of the railroad eyeline is wonderful; Especially after a snowfall, it looks like a fairy tale scene. ”

Sitting on the folding chair in the sleeper room, holding a steaming teacup in his hand, Long Yun, who once again incarnated as "Mr. Arthur", was leaning on the wall of the carriage and looking out the window, while emitting such a heartfelt emotion.

As far as the eye can see, it is a vast field scene that retreats rapidly, and all the farmlands, woodlands, and scattered villages along the way are shrouded in a flawless thick layer of white; From time to time, the train passed a small station, and the roof and platform of the station were covered with a layer of snow, and the Russian land in winter was quieter and more peaceful because of this heavy snowfall.

"Well, although the metaphor is a little naïve, hee-hee. Actually, I think so too. ”

Continued with Victor's words. While looking out the window at the snowy scenery of the rising sun. After getting on the bus, Valentina Kurtonova, who changed into a thin sweater, had a slight flush on her beautiful face, and the heating in the carriage was turned on sufficiently, of course, this was not the only reason for the girl's hot cheeks.

Before leaving, on a snowy night yesterday, in Valentina's throbbing memories, she had spent it with the man sitting across from the small table.

As a conscientious KGB agent, he has always been meticulous in his mission. Even the love for superheroes is the same, but the inexplicable emotional burning made her break through the shackles and barriers of identity last night; With inexplicable excitement and nervousness, the woman who has experienced an extreme release can only vaguely remember that between the entanglement of the two, this young man with a brilliant record was not very enthusiastic at first, of course, the situation was completely reversed, and she only felt that she was like a light boat, caught in the tumbling and noisy sea of desire......

After the high tide, he fell into a deep sleep. Early in the morning, he changed his identity and boarded a long-distance train to Siberia, and now he and Viktor sit in a private sleeper room. Valentina unconsciously recalled last night's experience, and a light flush would appear on her pretty face, which was really normal.

The seemingly shrewd and capable young detective could not resist the throbbing of his heart for the first time, which was undoubtedly spied on by Long Yun's superpowers, which also made him feel a little ...... Dumbfounding.

What happened in the bedroom of the villa last night, now it seems that he is the only one who knows the truth?

Well, it's a little embarrassing, but it's just as he originally thought, and it seems pretty good.

Sitting on a long-distance train from Moscow to the Far Eastern city of Khabarovsk (Boli) and embarking on a trip to the Far East under an inconspicuous pseudonym will naturally not be a whim for the two, but the latest arrangement on the part of the KGB.

From the capital of the Soviet Empire to the coastal cities thousands of miles away, the straight-line distance is more than 5,000 kilometers, and the length of the railway line will only be longer.

Giving up fast and convenient air travel and taking a long-distance train instead, this arrangement was obviously for safety reasons, although Long Yun felt that it was unnecessary, but there was no reason to refuse, after all, it was impossible for him to tell the agents the fact of superpowers, so he simply accepted it and started this seemingly long, but also resting and relaxing long-distance journey, preparing to arrive in Komsomolsk after enjoying the scenery along the way.

At the beginning of the journey, there was nothing to be busy, and the next few days were the opportunity to research work, so Long Yun was very relaxed and sat on the retractable seat by the car window with Valentina, enjoying the scenery along the road while chatting endlessly.

“…… Speaking of which, the Trans-Siberian Railway is really a famous railway line. ”

"Yes! A railway with a legend,"

Hearing Valentina mention of the words, Long Yun also remembered the description he had seen in the real world, although he had never checked whether this memory was in line with the history of the parallel world, but anyway, he had superpowers, and the other party was completely reliable Valentina, so there was nothing to worry about, "In the early days of Imperial Russia, when fighting with the Japanese devils in the Far East, the Trans-Siberian Railway, which had not yet been fully connected, also played a big role. Let's talk about the section of Irkutsk that we will pass through in a few days, in the winter of 1904, when trains were running on the makeshift tracks across the lake, and such a magical scene looked real -- how to say, it was more like a fairy tale? ”

"Oh, I've heard about it, too! If only we could see these wonders now. ”

"Well, it seems to be a bit difficult, hehe!"

Anyway, it was chatting, Long Yun drank two sips of hot black tea, "At that time, it was relatively easy to do this kind of thing, but now, there is also the factor of climate warming, if the ice on the lake is not thick enough, you can imagine how dangerous it will be to do this." ”

"That being said, it's still interesting to think about."

Probably because of this long-distance journey, there was no threat in the compartments that were deliberately vacated on both sides, and the relaxed Valentina talked about her imagination with great interest, "If there are more people traveling to Siberia in the future, maybe we can also carry out some similar tourism development projects on Lake Baikal, symbolically open the ice railway, and of course ensure safety, how about it?" ”

"Well, that's a good idea!"

Think about the situation in the real world, this section of the Trans-Siberian Railway on Lake Baikal has indeed undergone a lot of changes in history, one of the abandoned lines has become a historical and cultural heritage and has become part of the Baikal National Park, Long Yun doesn't know if this is the case in the parallel world, but he does think that Valentina's idea is quite good, and when the war is over, maybe he can really try it.

However, when will this protracted world war end......

As the sun climbs higher and higher, the train speeds along the nearly straight railway line, and the clear winter sun shines into the carriages, adding a touch of warmth to every corner.

The air conditioning in the car was slightly lowered, and the relaxed and leisurely chat made the time fly by, and by the time the two had lunch, the train had already arrived at Kazan, an important station along the line, and after a short stop, it continued to the east. After Kazan, the railway line extends to the edge of the Eastern European Plain, passing through Izhevsk at nightfall, and then crossing the Ural Mountains and truly entering the vast, snow-covered Siberia.

In the middle and high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, the sunset time in winter is quite early, and the stars are already looming outside the car window.

Everywhere the railway passed, almost all of them were wilderness with exceptionally fresh air, and Long Yun looked at the dark blue color gradually deepening and gradually turning into a large deep expanse of the vast sky, and couldn't help but think of the capital Beijing in the real world, until now, it is impossible to see the brilliant Milky Way "in myths and legends" with the naked eye on any night.

Ah, even if it has nothing to do with air pollution, the nighttime lights of the megacity alone will completely obscure the cold glow of the Milky Way......

Being in a bizarre parallel world, temporarily detached from the war-torn front line, and traveling long distances in the vast Red Empire as an ordinary person, Long Yun once imagined this kind of thing, but felt that it would be difficult to travel as Viktor Rezenov. Now, after the previous railway journey through Central Europe, he has embarked on such a long journey, although he only saw the ice and snow world along the railway, Long Yun still felt quite novel, it seems that through such a journey, he can more truly appreciate how vast the face of the parallel world is, this should not be just a fantasy, but as completely real as the real world he is in.

The train is speeding forward, the orange-red sunset sets, and the dark night gradually falls.

Long-distance trains that follow the endless stretch of electrified railway to the east, with a terminus thousands of kilometers away, do not slow down in the night, gradually descending into the Ural Mountains with raised terrain and dense coniferous forests.

The Ural Mountains, the north-south ridge that divides the boundary between Europe and Asia, often loses its original meaning because of the Soviet Union, which straddles two continents, and is not very tall and majestic in itself.

As the train approached the continental border, about to enter the vast expanse of snow-capped land, sitting opposite Valentina, who was slightly tired, Long Yun looked at the hazy night scene outside the train window, and felt a strange feeling in his heart. Looking leisurely from afar, he pondered in his chair for a moment, and realized that he was reminded of some history, or the struggle between Tsarist Russia and the Far East for political power in the real world.
