Chapter 179: A Thousand Miles of Scorched Earth

The speed of the steam train increased, and soon it drove out of the territory of Dragon City and entered the mountains north of Dragon City.

Passing through the tunnel in the mountains again, the train rushed straight into the vast plains north of the Longcheng Mountain Range.

The moment the steam train drove into the plain, everyone on the train was shocked by what they saw.

Outside the steam train, the view is not a vast plain of wheat fields and green trees, but a scorched earth that seems to have been burned.

The four fields were covered in blood, and the scorched earth smelled of disgusting decay, and it looked like it had just undergone an unusually great change.

The most shocking thing is that there are irregular cracks on the ground, and flames are faintly rising from those cracks.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would have been hard to imagine that the vast and fertile plains in the north of Dragon City would have turned into the scorched earth in front of you.

Suluru opened the steam train door and led the people out of the carriage to some lookout platforms above the carriage.

The moment I opened the car door, I felt a strong smell of burning, and after stepping onto the observation platform, I felt a strong smell of burnt paste all around.

The most unbearable thing for those who walked out of the carriage was that in the burnt smell, there was also the smell of burning grease, which made people involuntarily nauseous.

Shirley couldn't help but cover her nose and asked angrily, "What the hell is going on? Is this what the north of Dragon City looks like?"

Suluru sighed and said, "No, this should be the work of the evil god, I already smell the breath of the evil god." ”

"Evil gods?"

Sululu's words shocked everyone, and they all raised their weapons and scanned the directions vigilantly.

Seeing everyone's nervous looks, Sululu sighed, "Don't be afraid, the evil god is not here now. ”

Hearing Sululu say this, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but scanning the scene of the four fields full of scorched earth still made them feel an invisible pressure.

As if sensing the pressure of the accompanying soldiers, Sululu whispered, "From the current situation, the situation is even worse than the news we have received. ”

As the leader of Sululu's men, the gentleman king whispered, "Master, I'm afraid our trip will be dangerous. ”

After listening to the words of the gentleman king, without waiting for Sululu to speak, Shirley preemptively said: "Isn't the danger very good? ”

As soon as Shirley's words fell, the gentleman king reached out and gave Shirley a burst.

Seeing Shirley covering her head, the gentleman king said, "What nonsense? Do you think we're here to play?"

Shirley is usually eccentric, a very lively little girl, and the only thing she fears is the gentleman king.

After Sululu pacified the Machine City, the Gentleman King became the leader of the maintenance of the Machine City system.

Later, he took on the responsibility of training the army of the Mechanical City, and the innate fighting temperament of the orcs on the gentleman king was a natural instructor.

Under the gentlemanly instructor attitude of the gentleman king, none of the children in the machine city were not afraid of him.

And the gentleman king's treatment of himself is equally strict, which makes him win the respect of all the creatures in the mechanical city.

At this time, as soon as the gentleman king spoke, it naturally made Shirley immediately become well-behaved, and he didn't dare to continue talking nonsense.

The gentleman king looked at the four fields, saw the patches of scorched earth, and said to Sululu with a solemn expression: "Master, do we really want to continue to move forward? In this situation, it seems that the attack of the evil gods in front of us may be even more serious, and if we continue to go deeper, it is very likely that we will also be polluted by the evil energy. ”

The Gentleman King had a natural fear of evil gods, and although he tried his best to keep it to the bottom of his heart, Sululu could clearly feel it.

This is probably due to the fact that the orcs once believed in the evil god, and in the blood and bones of the orcs, they will have a natural fear of the evil god.

For this, Sululu did not blame the gentleman king, and even accepted the orcs and half-orcs of Dragon City.

I also looked into the distance, looking at the same scorched earth in the distance, and the dark clouds in the sky that revealed a heavy sense of oppression.

After a moment of silence, Sululu said, "We have to move on, at least go to the next stop and see what happens." ”

Speaking of this, Sululu ordered the carriage again: "Open the carriages on both sides, first go down a wave of thunder, be careful not to hurt yourself, and try to go as far as possible." ”

Hearing Suluru's order, all sides of the train car were opened, and a strange cannon muzzle was pushed out of the car.

"Boom boom" was accompanied by the sound of cannons, and numerous thunder bullets were sprayed from those muzzles, and after those thunder bombs were thrown out.

A pair of bizarre wings will be spread out in mid-air, and the gliding function of the wings will be used to glide further along the rails.

After landing, it uses the impact force of the landing to quickly burrow its wings into the ground as a drill.

After the mine is lowered under the soil layer, the metal around the mine will quickly fall off, bounce away in all directions, and bury the soil layer at the same time.

In this way, the thunder can be quickly lowered into the wilderness, and at the same time, it is very hidden, and almost no flaws are exposed.

This special mine-laying cannon is a product researched by the Machinery City for many years, and it can be regarded as some preparations made in the Machinery City for war preparation.

Although the wilderness has been reduced to patches of scorched earth, when the charred black layer of soil above is lifted, a very ordinary loess will still be turned out below.

However, Suluru also saw that the thunder that fell on the scorched earth and the red cracks would all be ignited and exploded in an instant.

It can be seen that the flames rising from those irregular cracks still have a strong destructive power.

And the cracks crisscrossed the scorched earth, making the earth smell hideous.

Just as the train was slowly moving forward, suddenly the mechanic in charge of the lookout on the lookout platform shouted: "Oh no, the track in front has been cut." ”

Hearing the mechanic's shout, Sululu immediately gave an order to the carriage for the rabbit to slow down the speed of the steam train.

At the same time, Sululu hurried to the lookout in front of him and lowered the goggles on his head.

Using his goggles to look into the distance, he soon saw a crimson crack crossing the railroad tracks underneath the railroad tracks in front of him.

Although the crimson crack runs underneath the rails, if you look closely, you can see that the rails are not broken.

However, even if the tracks are not broken, there is no guarantee that the train will be able to move safely from above in such a situation.

After thinking for a moment, Suluru ordered the steam train to stop temporarily, and then sent a small team of fighters to escort the two mechanics to the front to investigate.

At the same time, Sululu ordered the others: "Everyone be vigilant, pay attention to the movement around them, and if you notice any disturbance, immediately warn them." ”

On Suluru's orders, the team left the steam train and drove a steam car along the tracks.

The soldiers who stayed behind were all waiting solemnly, paying close attention to the wind and grass on the scorched earth around them. (To be continued.) )
