020 Steam Train, Twin Lighthouses, Escape
Ming Xu didn't care about Dong Linglan's expression, and still played with the steam pistol by herself, until Li Xiang, who was wearing an overcoat, appeared from the periphery, she suddenly stopped the movement in her hand, put the pistol away, stood up and carried the piano case on her back.
"Brother Li Xiang!" Lu Yu's pursed mouth only stretched a little after seeing Li Xiang, she threw herself from Dong Linglan's arms into Li Xiang's arms, and rubbed her head on his chest affectionately.
Li Xiang's face changed, but he quickly returned to his original state.
"You're hurt. Ming Xu followed behind him and whispered, Li Xiang let out a faint "um", didn't say much, and led them towards the steam station in the center of the city.
As the number one super city in City 0127, Hangzhou is far more exquisite than small places like Heicheng and Houcheng in terms of scale and infrastructure layout.
Today, the major powers have countless resources in their hands, and as their base in the rear, these numbered cities and their subordinate megacities have been built into huge structures integrating entertainment, fortresses, and residences.
Hangzhou has a more distinct layout, divided into five floors staggered, the ground floor is the largest number of people and the most infrastructure area, looking up you can see countless super commercial buildings and suspended buildings, of course, these places are difficult for many people to set foot in a lifetime of forbidden areas.
Countless tracks and staggered pipelines are densely packed around the super shopping mall, and Hangzhou has both intercity trains to other major towns in city 0127, a Hangzhou station similar to Heicheng Station, and a steam station that is unique to the numbered city.
From there, there are civilian armoured steam trains to and from various numbered cities, or military armoured steam trains to and from the major military districts.
Li Xiang has only seen the models of these two steam locomotives in textbooks, which are claimed to integrate attack, defense and transportation, and are generally monopolized by Bai's Heavy Industry and Dongling Heavy Industry.
When they entered the magnificent Hangzhou Steam Station and saw the civilian armored steam train like a monstrous beast above their heads, Li Xiang was shocked for the first time.
The whole steam train spirals and spreads out for nearly thousands of meters, like a mechanical dragon dormant in the sky track, the head is a distinct beast head shape, and hence the name, this steam train is the famous "Chiwen" in each numbered city, is the oldest batch of steam trains of Bai's Heavy Industries.
The locomotives of the steam trains produced by Winter Zero Heavy Industry generally like to use Western magical creatures that were very popular in Europe before the cataclysm, such as vampires, werewolves and the like.
For Li Xiang, who can see through all the mechanical devices, the feeling of looking at the Kiss is even more shocking, and he can't help but marvel at the magic work of Bai's heavy industry designers and builders.
Countless mechanical components, all kinds of huge gears are built in it, and it is very troublesome to recognize, let alone reproduce and imitate.
Li Xiang's ability made him more aware of the hardships of this road ahead.
Like the mysterious mechanism that Maria gave him at that time, there were some areas inside the Kiss that he couldn't see, presumably using some special material to shield his senses.
After the exclamation, several people followed the flow of people into the gate of the Hangzhou Steam Station, which is the center of the two giant towers welded entirely of metal and mechanical parts.
These two towers are the famous twin beacons that players have just risen in Hangzhou after the cataclysm to guide their companions and ward off calamity!
Even though it is now abandoned, it is still the most exciting building in Hangzhou.
The construction of the Twin Lighthouses alone gives a sense of the infinite wisdom of the sages, and the fact that they are now able to live a stable life here is the result of these players' successive battles and desperate for their lives.
The two lighthouses are connected at the highest point by a retro-style ladder, with an ancient bell tower at each end of the ladder, and the hands on the two mirror-like giant clocks turn one counterclockwise and the other clockwise, and the text is still in ancient Roman numerals.
At the hour, the mechanism in the clock tower spins wildly, and the steam turbine unit under the hammer driven by the gears will expel a large amount of steam and make a distant chime.
Unlike the crowded Hangcheng Station, most of the people who can afford to travel between the numbered cities are the best of the class, or the most powerful people, or the wealthy merchants, who are well-dressed and contrast with the messy Hangcheng Station, where everyone has everything.
Inside the steam station, there is only a waiting area divided into upper and lower halls and a service area lined with shops, and the deterrent power of the soldiers guarding here is obviously much higher than that of the Black City military headquarters.
They stood solemnly one by one, compared to the military soldiers in small cities like Heicheng and Houcheng, they were like a ragtag army, and the military soldiers here were the real regular army.
In fact, the military department covers seven continents, and the internal system is complicated, and soldiers of the same level will even have vastly different strengths, of course, Li Xiang, who has neither been to the military university nor been to many cities, naturally does not know.
Seeing the level of vigilance here, Li Xiang felt a lot more relieved, but Mingxu, who had been calm, seemed to be a little excited. Her cheeks were flushed slightly, and she looked shy, but her every move was more like excitement.
It's like a hunter has found his prey, constantly rubbing the long piano box in his arms.
The service area is lined with many self-service ticketing mechanisms, and Li wants to help Dong Linglan's mother and daughter buy tickets to City 0265, which is Luhai's hometown and the place where they met.
The Kiss is divided into six types of carriages, and passengers like Dong Linglan's mother and daughter, who are unable to provide their citizen cards and any valid documents, not only have their tickets cost ten times as much, but they can only stay in the last carriage.
Seeing that the ticket showed that it cost 20,000 Blue Star Coins, the corners of Li Xiang's mouth twitched slightly, a month ago, he and his sister were still receiving 1,000 Blue Star Coins' monthly relief money, but now they are already people who can use tens of thousands of 100,000 Blue Star Coins.
Fate is so capricious sometimes.
Dong Linglan's mother and daughter planned to go to the toilet before getting on the bus, so Li Xiang bought the ticket first.
The task should be over at this point, he is waiting for the people from the Dong Ling family to come over and hand it over, and by the way, he can also send Dong Ling Lan and them to the car, but he doesn't know if Lu Hai's death will affect his rating.
He and Naruto waited in the service area, but after half an hour, they still didn't see them.
A bad premonition slowly rose from the bottom of my heart.
However, Wang Chongyue had said before that the Hangcheng Military Department and the Heicheng Military Department were not the same, and it was impossible for the former internal boss to obey the orders of a small major from the north.
If the crazy iron could affect the Hangcheng military headquarters, then Li Xiang would have died a long time ago.
The only possibility is that Dong Linglan's mother and daughter escaped by themselves!
His face gradually became ugly, and he asked Ming Xu to go to the toilet to take a look, and when she came out shaking her head, Li Xiang completely collapsed.
Why did they run away at the last step?
Li Xiang scratched his head and forced himself to calm down and review the events of these days bit by bit.
Suddenly, a strange thought flashed through his mind, and Li Xiang looked at Naruo and saw that she was also looking at him.
Speaking of which, since the two of them cooperated, he hadn't asked Ming Xu what task he had received, he just guessed that Ming Xu's acceptance should also be the task of the Dong Ling family, probably to protect them and cooperate with him?
Because Naruo rarely took the initiative to talk to him, he also felt that there was no need to ask about people's privacy, so he kept coming over like this.
"They're running away, what's your mission?" Naruo's voice was very faint, and he couldn't hear any emotion.
"Protect their family to the Steam Station. Li Xiang blackened his face, "What about you?"
"Deal with the spoiler who suddenly appeared. Naruo raised his head and rubbed the long case, "The first mission was to kill you and their family. After someone intervened, it changed halfway. ”
Li Xiang's back suddenly chilled, her expression still did not change, and she could calmly watch Li Xiang say the words to kill them, as if it was normal.
He suddenly realized that if it weren't for the attack of a mysterious sniper at Heicheng Station, would he have ended up facing Naruo here?
"She is from the Dong Ling family, and it is forbidden to marry an Asian. Mingxu's eyes were clear, and he said lightly, "I will definitely die." ”
At that, her eyelashes trembled slightly.
So that's it......
Li Xiang suddenly realized, his fists suddenly clenched, dare to love that the Dong Ling family had no intention of letting go of the Dong Ling Lan family from the beginning, and he was just one of the chess pieces that was played in this series of links?
