Chapter 223: Why don't Maginot change its name to Fort Tumu?
The first thing I felt when I came to Romania was that it was desolate......
Qiao Shuya only has this feeling, and he doesn't want to be the kind of desperate fate to send supplies, tighten the battle line, and resist the alien demons as he imagined, but it is a feeling of a great depression.
They didn't get off the plane very late, probably in the afternoon at dinnertime, but there were almost no pedestrians in the streets.
Everyone was almost closed, and many were even looking at them through the cracks.
Even in the commercial street, the doors of the shops are closed, and the signboards at the entrances are all in disrepair, and it seems that they have not been in operation for a long time.
The only people on the street were the convoys that drove the goods and distributed supplies from house to house.
All this made the few people who had no contact here feel extremely novel.
"How do these people live in Romania?" Yuan Zhiai asked curiously.
"I think they've gotten rid of it, and it looks like it's been getting worse over the years." Lao Chen sighed, and then explained, "Here, almost door-to-door underground fortifications have been dug to defend against nuclear bombs, and they usually all live in underground fortifications, relying on the radio to know the news of the outside world, and only go out every time they distribute supplies." ”
It looked at the big trucks and went on to add: "Today seems to be the time to distribute supplies. ”
"If it doesn't matter, will the whole country be able to hold on?" Asakura asked.
It's not just her, it's a lot of people who feel the same way.
Supplies can't be conjured out of thin air, can they? There must always be production, and all this way of life is used here, what about those materials?
"One is the large-scale industrial chain built by the North Humans, which will continue to transport materials over, and the second is the support of Regions 4 and 5, as well as the entire Federation." Lao Chen explained.
"Although England and Francois have declined, their industrial strength is still first-class, and the defensive line from here to the east coast is the point where Zone 17 defends itself, but after a few hundred kilometers to the west, it is the front defended by others." Lao Chen said that he knew about this place because he had come to the capital to study a martial art.
Romanian spearmanship, a little-known martial art, but a lot of it really inspires it.
All this information about Romania was told to it by the gunsmith.
But the next time he came, the man was dead, dead on the front line.
"It's not like modern society at all." "I feel like I've come to Romania during World War II. ”
"No, it's actually much more brutal than during World War II......," Lao Chen complained.
"Then why don't you get out of here?" Asakura asked.
At this moment, everyone looked at her, and she probably realized that she had asked a very strange question.
They are gone, who will defend the line?
Another point is that this is the homeland of these people, and the people who live here will basically not give up this land if no one else has given up this land.
In fact, many times, not to mention other people, Lao Chen also felt that the wisest choice was to retreat, and the civilians would retreat to the back, and this was completely a complete front, all preparing for war.
However, if this continues, the requirements for the people here are too high.
Lao Chen thought so, and then saw a special extended car driving not far away.
The car stopped in front of several people, opened the door, and the co-pilot was actually the familiar Abiduo wearing a mask and a soul ring on his head.
"Abido!" The squad leader seemed to be very familiar with her and asked.
"Wow, Yoshida, and the vice president, I didn't expect you to leave without saying a word, and you didn't say a word when you went back to my house, in the words of District 2, I was still ready to do my best to be a landlord." Abidó seemed to look at Qiao Shuya with some resentment.
Qiao Shuya: "??? ”
"Aren't you ready to wait for class at District 11?" Qiao Shuya asked.
Abidó came with the construction expert group of the People's Federation, but she is a student, so it can be seen that she is a backdoor.
But even if it is the back door, he is also a very powerful person, at least compared with Brother Long of the same age.
"Yes, it was said that there was still some time before school started, so let's move freely, I heard that your group didn't take me to play when you came to my hometown, so I came by myself." Even though she was wearing a mask, she had a kind of dissatisfaction and resentment.
It's like a good friend from high school who went to the toilet with me and didn't bring it with me.
Forget it, it's really weird.
"Let's settle down in Bucharest today and register with the local association." Qiao Shuya said, ready for today's plan.
"There is no Watchmen's Guild here." Abido's words made Qiao Shuya full of question marks.
Is there still a city without a Watchmen's Guild? It's outrageous, in District 11, even a very small town has an office of the Watchmen's Association. Even that office may only have a normal person stationed there, only responsible for gathering news of nearby demons.
There are no associations here now?
"We have our own national conditions, although there is no association here, but there is a substitute for the association, that is, the cathedral." Abidó said, and the group also walked into the stretch car, talking as they walked.
In this local's popular science, Qiao Shuya and they understood what the national situation was.
The cathedral is actually the Watchmen's Association that has changed its skin, but the situation here is special, one is faith, the second is because of the battle line, and the third is because of the Vlad family.
The Vlad family has controlled the cathedral for hundreds of years, and if any family in other places dares to control the local watchmen's association, they will definitely be punished by thunder.
But here, the association not only acquiesced in what the Vlads did, but supported them.
"After all, there are only two people left in the direct line of the Vlad family now, and they are still two women." Abido's voice echoed calmly through the stretch car.
She said this a little sadly.
Qiao Shuya didn't know what to say, he had learned a little from Lao Chen before, the people of the Vlad family had recorded more than a dozen people killed in battle, and this was only what Lao Chen knew, and the truth might be more complicated than he imagined.
This family may really be unable to support it.
Perhaps by coming here, Qiao Shuya will be able to understand the necessity of forming an alliance with the Dreadlord Demon King.
For humanity, there is an urgent need to seek a change.
Along the way, Qiao Shuya could even see large areas of abandoned land, as well as the ruins of human buildings, and the light of fire not far away.
Qiao Shuya looked in the direction of the firelight, and Abidó explained, "It may have been affected by fungal spores. So mass burning. It's normal over here. ”
Qiao Shuya: "......"
In other words, it may not only be that human beings are not living well here, but even plants are living here with their tails between their legs, and they may be burned at any time......
After about a hundred kilometers of driving, they seemed to have arrived in a big city.
This should be Bucharest, much better than the place just now, at least you can see some people on the road here.
But these people are all holding umbrellas, hurrying in their steps, with their heads down, full of oppressive atmosphere.
Even, in Qiao Shuya's feeling, even half of them are watchmen.
Just as Qiao Shuya still wanted to complain about why these people were holding umbrellas, wasn't it still a sunny day?
Suddenly there was a thunderstorm in the sky, and then he turned his face when he said that he turned his face, and the heavy rain instantly covered his vision.
"Ah, this ......" Qiao Shuya really didn't know what to say.
It was the first time he had seen such a climate.
"Romania has a monsoon and maritime climate, especially in this season, there is a lot of rain, and it is normal to go out with an umbrella at all times, or wear a raincoat when the sun is shining." "This season is also known as the season of crying. ”
"Is it the season to cry?" It's not been a long time since I've been in Romania, but I've already felt a lot of things that I would never have imagined before.
Pedestrians on the side of the road are in a hurry, the rain curtain seems to be connected to the sky, and the power of the windshield wipers of the car instantly reaches the maximum.
Here, it's completely different from other places.
The depressive of Zone 11, the grotesqueness of Zone 2, and the chaos of Zone 1 are different.
Here, it seems, is dead silence.
"By the way, vice president, is there another student named 'Wu Ziming' here?" Abidó said.
"Yes, has he already arrived in Tokyo?" Qiao Shuya asked.
"Yesterday he just reported to the association in Tokyo, and it seems that he was reported when he was giving a speech at the beer hall, and he came to Tokyo overnight on the association's plane."
"Well, what's wrong with him?" Qiao Shuya asked with some doubts.
"The first time he saw me, he was very doggy and wanted to come and help me carry my bag, and then kept giving me courtesy, and I was annoyed and beat him." Abidó said calmly.
Qiao Shuya: "......"
The rest: "......"
That dead licking dog! Qiao Shuya shouldn't think that licking the dog will change, even if the licking dog dragon field is enlightened, Shan has only evolved into a battle licking dog.
"But he seems to be involved in a pole incident, hoping that someone will be okay...... "Abidó clasped his hands together and made a prayer gesture.
Coupled with the soul ring on her head, it really has such a sense of holiness.
The stretch car pulled up to the entrance of a magnificent cathedral and stopped.
Qiao Shuya originally thought that there would be a priest, but it was a group of people in suits and leather shoes, with men and women holding umbrellas, helping them drive, and then playing umbrellas.
Wow, and this kind of service?
Walking into the cathedral, Qiao Shuya saw not statues of gods or magnificent frescoes, but a simple table of food.
Grilled minced meat, hash browns, roast duck, sour apples, ham......
Behind him is a statue of an ancient general holding a thorny spear.
Qiao Shuya didn't know who the ancient general of that big gun was, Alexander? Caesar? Darius? Octavian?
He also doesn't know much about the history of the area, and remembers only the most famous ones.
And a woman who may have been about thirty years old came up and said, "Guests from afar, please dine, the registration has been completed." I'll send you to a special place later. ”
Qiao Shuya and the others were a little restrained, but they sat down normally.
However, I thought that the woman seemed to be a maid or a nun, but I didn't expect her to sit on the throne.
"Sofia Vlad, the current Romanian Grand Priest, may also be the last Grand Priest." The woman spoke calmly and introduced her identity.
They were all surprised, but they didn't expect that this person was actually the supreme ruler of the whole of Romania.
At this time, Qiao Shuya could look at her, blonde hair, the same red eyes as Abido, wearing clothes similar to prayer, some deep exhaustion on her face, and even faintly able to see the dark circles under the delicate makeup.
Everything seems a little outrageous.
There seems to be a theocratic here, which means that the high priest has the power of the president of the Watchmen's Association, the president, and the head of the church.
Qiao Shuya just briefly introduced himself, and this dinner ended like this.
They were taken to a two-story hut that was said to be the cathedral inn.
After living here, Qiao Shuya felt a sense of depression.
From the hotel, you can see the towering Maginot Line in the distance.
He can also see a large number of construction machinery, which should be the handiwork of the Fran people, not to mention, the level of wall construction is still first-class.
After all, the defense line of the former Franks is called a fortress that will never fall, an iron wall of the Farlands.
Then it was bypassed by the blitzkrieg and went straight to Paris.
In the end, the defense line was trapped, and the ASS was stabbed.
"Just now, the great priest seemed to have a request for us, but he didn't say anything after putting up with it for a long time." The squad leader also came to Qiao Shuya's side and looked at the defense line in the distance.
"I guess I want to ask for help." Qiao Shuya sighed.
He felt that Romania was a little unbearable, and the name Maginot Line was unlucky when he heard it.
Qiao Shuya also felt that it was best to come here for some support, so he asked Uncle Li to find some rescuers from District 2, and then brought a bunch of civil engineering brothers to change the name of the Maginot Line.
Just change it to, Civil Fort?
Forget it, this one is even more unlucky......
Qiao Shuya had a lot of thoughts.
"Squad leader, you and Abidó seem to be familiar with each other?" Qiao Shuya asked.
In his impression, the two seemed to have only met once at Brother Long's wedding, so they didn't seem to be very familiar.
The squad leader seemed a little embarrassed, she silently took out her mobile phone and clicked on an interface, and Qiao Shuya saw that it was the chat record between the squad leader and Abido.
Chat logs: 3618
Qiao Shuya: "??? ”
"That, I made friends with Abiga, chatted for a long time, and then went shopping together on the street, and I also pulled her as a reference because of the choice of furniture and electrical appliances at home." The squad leader said,
"Actually, Abi is a very funny girl."
It turns out that the two of them have secretly poked and poked into best friends, so it's okay.
"Have you seen her under her mask?" Qiao Shuya suddenly became curious.
It's just pure curiosity, even when he was eating just now, Abido didn't take off his mask.
It's not that I don't care much about her, it's just that men have strange curiosity about this dark and deep secret.
Maybe she really took off her mask, and Qiao Shuya would suddenly lose interest.
"No, Abi said that she was injured, and then she had to wear a mask all the time to become a mask killer, otherwise she would be disliked...... But she didn't show me what it looked like under the mask. Yoshida also seemed to be curious to ask.
"Scars? Wouldn't it be nice to find a Guardian of the Healing Department for this kind of thing? Qiao Shuya suddenly said.
"I don't know, but that's what she said." The squad leader said.
What she and Abidó say, in fact, compared to their girlfriends, they are very similar to face-based netizens.
Most of the communication is online.
And just then, there was a knock on the door, and Qiao Shuya said, "Come in!" ”
The person who came was different from the one here, like an Asian who silently dropped a package and left.
Qiao Shuya suddenly thought of something, opened it and saw an envelope.
He opened it and looked at it, and his face turned ugly.
This is information sent by Saki Nagano, an inner ghost, and the one "You (ma-) came to you" is particularly eye-catching.
Qiao Shuya guessed who it was, Lilith, the Queen of Pain.
A guy who still doesn't know what expression and way to face it.
In that secret society, there is actually a demon king, and even a demon god.
But this body is suspected to be a biological mother.
Himself is a parasite who killed her child......
There shouldn't be any affection between the demons, right?
At the end of the letter, Saki Nagano wanted to close the net and didn't want to do it anymore.
Qiao Shuya was silent and stuffed the envelope into the zoo.
Finally, there was an undercover agent, and Qiao Shuya must have caught a sheep and killed him.
……
On the second floor, Lao Chen continued to give the two little ones the past and customs of Romania like a child.
"The Vlad family is really a respectable family, they have so far more than a dozen direct family members died on the battlefield, and the statue behind us when we ate before should be the great hero of Romania, Grand Duke Vlad III." Lao Chen said, ready to drink saliva and talk about the history of Vlad III.
"I know this, Count Dracula, who is said to be a demonic figure who pierced more than 100,000 captives with a stake and hung them on the city walls." Xiao Ai raised her hand.
"No, you're wrong, for the invaders, he is indeed a demon, but for the Romanians, Vlad III is a well-deserved hero, placed in the second district, it is a person like General Yue, and in the 11th district, that is the kind of person in Hojo Tokimune." Lao Chen said.
To be honest, it still admires Vlad III more, especially now under the action of the Son of Heaven of the Vlad family to guard the country.
Although, the current Vlad family may not have anything to do with Vlad III at all, but only inherited the surname.
……
Cathedral, confessional.
"Abi, you're still back, I'll let you not come back." High priest Sophia said.
"But I'm back, auntie. I don't know what you're hiding from me, and besides, I'm just taking my friends home for a trip. Abidó looked at the woman and said.
"Since it's here, forget it, it's fate after all." The High Priest said, and she opened the door to the basement.
At this moment, the stench came to his face, and Abidó instantly shouted: "Alien demons! Auntie, what the hell are you doing! ”
"I'm here, save Romania ......"
