Chapter 9: Canterlot
The college train stopped until lunchtime. With the exception of those behind the observation carriages, most of the train came to the ground.
When Su Yu returned to his box, he saw that the sun had shone in without hesitation, making the whole box look exceptionally bright and warm.
Through the window, Su Yu could vaguely see the figure of someone who went out to collect samples shuttling between the corpses. It suddenly occurred to her that the senior's telescope was still in her hand, but since the car window was not too big, she couldn't see more things from this angle.
While eating in the dining car at noon, Su Yu heard from the classmates around him that five groups of senior students had completed sample collection, and a team specializing in zombie domestication had ensnared a special zombie. Everyone's conversation was all about this morning's observation and the upcoming entry into Canterlot, the restaurant was full of chatter and excited discussions, and the whole food truck was filled with the joy of arriving at the station.
After lunch, the last group of personnel also completed the collection work, and the college train started running again. The corpses were close to the outermost wall of Canterlot, so you could see the black hole through the car window.
Because the No. 1 box where Su Yu lived had the best view, the three of them gathered in the No. 1 box and sat around the window to talk about it.
Zheng Wang chattered about what materials were made of the special rifles used in the hands of those in combat uniforms, and Zhao Dacheng listened attentively, but his eyes kept looking at the city wall in the distance.
Su Yu and Zhao Dacheng sat side by side, their eyes also looking into the distance. Although the train is approaching at great speed, the towering city wall fills the entire horizon, and on the desolate Gobi, on the edge of the blue sky, the black and shiny high wall is like a large black mirror that divides the whole heaven and earth.
As the train progresses, the mirror is infinitely magnified and magnified until the train reaches the bottom of the high wall, and the top of the wall is no longer visible when it looks up.
I don't know what kind of material such a wall is made of, the surface is so smooth that I'm afraid that even a mosquito will have to split it when it flies up. This design is probably to prevent zombies from being able to stack and climb up.
"Sure enough, it's Canterlot, and this wall is two or three times higher than C9." Zheng Wang couldn't help but sigh.
Zhao Dacheng whispered something, Zheng Wang didn't hear it, but Su Yu, who was sitting next to him, heard it clearly. He said it would be nice if the C20 area had such a high wall.
Su Yu nodded unconsciously, the city walls of the C18 area were not much better, she couldn't help but think of Su's mother and younger brother Su An, and she didn't know if they were doing well in the C18 area. The phone was a bit expensive, and the three of them never spoke on the phone.
When the train arrived at the city gate, it entered the underground passage instantly, and for the safety of the central city, the above-ground city gate was rarely opened, but this layer of the city wall was not very thick, and after a short period of darkness, the train traveled out of the underground passage.
In the distance, another layer of the city wall appeared in front of me.
Zheng Wang explained: "I heard that there are four walls, one higher than the other. ”
Sure enough, as he said, the train was able to enter the center of the city after passing through four walls.
Su Yu saw three big golden characters hanging on the black wall: Canterlot.
The gate of the fourth wall had been opened for the zombie research train, and the train gradually slowed down, and car 32 slowly passed under the majestic big black gate.
The scenery in front of me changed in an instant, different from the barren Gobi Desert just now, and even the gloomy high wall behind him became out of place. It's a whole new world here.
Countless skyscrapers stand in the sun, clean and tidy roads crisscross but are orderly, there are interchanges extending in all directions above the ground, and above the interchanges, there are actually aerial tunnels, countless cars, trains, and even aircraft shuttle through them, making people feel like they have traveled to the future world.
The academy train entered the transparent aerial tunnel at the highest point, which allowed the scene of Canterlot to appear at Su Yu's feet, giving them a bird's-eye view of the scenery on the ground.
This never-before-seen sense of technology shocked the three of them.
"If you have a chance, you have to go out and shop." Zheng Wang said.
Zhao Dacheng and Su Yu also nodded in agreement, in such a highly developed city, there must be a lot of job opportunities for them to earn C coins.
The academy train drove all the way to the entrance of the Zombie Research Academy, and this academy's special train not only has its own special station, but even has a garage for parking it. I really don't know how big the academy is to build a garage for such a long train.
The majestic gate of the academy was exactly the same as on the admission letter, and now Su Yu realized that the black door and walls were made of the same materials as the four-story wall outside the Central City.
Everyone packed their luggage and got out of the car one after another with their pets. Xiao Wei looked extremely excited, and uncharacteristically tugged on Su Yu's trouser legs, Su Yu gently patted its forehead twice, and comforted: "I know, I'll take you to your master in a while." ”
Xiao Wei seemed to understand, so he calmed down and followed behind Su Yu step by step.
After entering the door, there is a huge placard welcoming new students, and there is a row of tables next to it, and on each table is a sign that reads "New Student Reception".
The three of them lined up at the table in turn.
Su Yu's team traveled quickly, and she was greeted by a young girl who looked like a senior sister of the academy.
Su Yu swiped the handscreen on the machine on the desktop as instructed, and a line of information popped up on the display screen of the machine: No. 6539, Su Yu, 2301.
"Su Yu, your dormitory is 2301, and the ordinary dormitories are all double rooms, do you want to upgrade the dormitory?" Senior sister asked with a smile.
"No, I don't." Su Yu hurriedly replied, after all, I don't know how much C coins it will cost to upgrade the dormitory.
"Okay, your basic groceries and college uniform will be delivered directly to your dorm, now please fill in the size of your clothes. If you have any other questions, you can also ask them. ”
"No, thank you." Su Yu ticked the M code on the display.
Zhao Dacheng and Zheng Wang also registered separately, knew their respective dormitory numbers, and saw that Su Yu had finished doing it, so they also walked towards her together.
Su Yu was thinking about where to go to ask about Xiaowei's master.
At this time, the gate of the academy suddenly sounded with the roar of opening, which instantly attracted the attention of all the new students present.
A camouflage-painted super giant armored vehicle sped up, entered the gate, and then abruptly stopped in front of the welcome sign for the new students.
The size of this car is about the same as the perfume bus that Su Yu is sitting in, but the appearance is obviously different, and the two heavy machine guns on the roof alone show that it has a different military purpose.
And on the camouflage livery, the words half-covered by the dirt can still be distinguished:
Hunter No. 1.
Zheng Wang pointed to the car and was speechless excitedly: "Look at it, it's the first detachment of the Hunting Fish!" ”
