From the Yulian Mountains to the northwest, the mountains gradually transition into plains in a ladder-like pattern. It's a silent wilderness, and at first glance, the flat terrain is covered with only low mutant trees, and this is a place where even mutant beasts rarely appear. Taller, only the curved towers still stood tenaciously on the surface like rickety giants. An old highway that has been covered by wind and sand passes through the land, and the road is sometimes broken and damaged. It passed through the plains into a primeval forest, and the trees of the forest were much larger than in the old days, looking like spruce and pine, but thicker than the two species. Towering giant trees that require more than a dozen people to hug form this primeval forest that seems to cover the earth, and there are hundreds or more of different species of mutant beasts inhabiting here.

Once here, the road disappears completely, and if anyone counts it, the forest stretches to the warm zone to the south at a rate of about 3 to 5 kilometers per year. This kind of aggressive phenomenon is not uncommon in the new era, where everything is desperate to plunder the remaining resources in order to survive. This is true for humans, and animals and plants are no exception.

At the end of the forest, there is a rolling mountain range. On the map of Asgard, it is marked with the name "Osgar", which means the end of the continent. The Osga Mountains are undulating, but not at high altitude. From a distance, it looks more like a giant, stopping the forest from moving north. There is an artificial tunnel in the Osgar Mountains, which seems to have been dug in the old era, and the tunnel is still well preserved, but there are no electrical facilities, which makes the tunnel nearly a kilometer long shrouded in darkness for many years.

In the tunnels, it is the territory of the living corpses. The living dead have taken over the place, taking possession of one of the few places to live.

Behind the tunnel is a dry river with a raised and lowered bridge that connects to the plains on the other side of the river. Through this sluice bridge, we can know that in the old times, there should be ships coming and going on the river, otherwise the sluice bridge would be meaningless. And so it is, the silhouettes of a few boats can be seen in the upper reaches of the dry river, but they have become piles of carved copper and iron, and have become the "houses" of some wilderness people.

At the end of the plain connected by the gate bridge is an abandoned seaside city. The city is small in size, but it is full of buildings and facilities, and it looks like it was once a thriving city. Skyscrapers, straight roads, overpasses, parks, factories and even a playground to the south of the city, the lone Ferris wheel has watched over the city for I don't know how many years.

The city is abandoned, but it is by no means quiet. The playground to the south of it has become a habitat for some humans. They occupy this relatively open area, living in the office building and various facilities of the former playground. The rest of the city has long been a haven for dangerous mutant beasts and living corpses, and people live here with many strict rules. For example, you can't make too much noise during the day, otherwise it will attract mutant beasts or living corpses. The men, on the other hand, need to venture into the city in order to retrieve the few necessities they have from the mouths or claws of other terrifying creatures.

It's just that these lives don't seem to last long, so one of the leaders of the settlement suggests to migrate. Until then, they need to store as much food as possible. However, more than two months ago, some strangers came to the city. On that day, as usual, the sky was shrouded in radiation clouds, and the constant sky brought almost hopeless oppression to the earth. That morning, when the men of the colony were about to venture into the city as usual, they heard gunshots.

The sound of gunfire was followed by the roar of cannonball, and even the sharp sound of missiles whizzing through the sky with their tails in tow. It seemed like an ordinary morning, but the city was in flames. After three days and two nights of war between the Outsiders and the Mutants, half of the city block near the harbor had been nearly razed, and a bold man looked around and brought back shocking news.

Corpse!

The corpses of countless mutant beasts, those who usually seem ferocious, have been turned into corpses charred by the flames of war this morning, there are soldiers in protective suits cleaning the battlefield, and many more have begun to build defense lines and watchtowers, as if they want to make the harbor block a protective area. This made the people of the settlement both happy and frightened, happy that the outsiders had almost emptied the streets to the south of the mutant beasts, and afraid that the dangerous neighbor did not know what kind of threat they would pose to them.

And apparently, the emotions of fear overrode the joy. Soon, outsiders discovered the existence of the settlement, and a group of soldiers visited the amusement park in the afternoon. The officer who led the group made a condition that the settlement could not refuse, they needed workers, and they hoped that the people of the settlement would work for them. The condition is that all the homeless people in the playground can live within their defenses, and they are paid a small salary. These salaries do not make them wealthy, but they can buy them the necessary necessities.

No one would say no to such a condition, would they? So the people of the settlement quickly completed this brief relocation, and soon the outsiders began to rebuild the area. The necessary defenses were erected in two days, and they used barbed wire to divide the safe and dangerous areas, and the watchtowers and anti-aircraft guns became inaccessible to the wandering deviants in the danger zone, especially an artillery tank that the people of the colony had only seen in old-time magazines, and became their protector.

After the defense line was raised, the people of the settlement began to build factories and water storage tanks under the command of outsiders, and the well-informed leaders told everyone that the outsiders were most likely building water purification factories and food synthesis factories, which were almost necessary for the survival of people in the new era, so it is obvious that these outsiders may have been stationed here for a long time.

Soon, when a power station-like building was built, the idea was confirmed.

It turned out that these people guessed correctly, and in two months, the water purification plant and the food synthesis plant had been basically completed. It is said that it is a factory, but in fact, it is the shell of the factory that is built, but some of the necessary equipment is pulled to the defense area by trucks, and then it can be put into use after assembly. By this time, the people of the ghetto had become workers in these factories, and after a brief training from outsiders, they were on the assembly line.

They didn't know what the outsiders were up to, but occasionally from their conversations, it seemed that there was a plan to turn this place into a permanent harbor city, much to the delight of the people of the original settlement. They finally don't have to worry about their livelihoods, as long as they work hard, they have hope of survival.

On this day, as usual, at seven o'clock in the morning, the workers came to the factory one after another. The power station was completed yesterday and the cables connecting the plant were installed last night. The units at the station were already working this morning, which has allowed both plants to be operational. When the workers entered the factory, a special convoy came from the direction of the entrance and exit of the defense area.

Several tractors pulled a behemoth from the other side of the road, wrapped in a thick tarp, with a towing member installed underneath, and it was unknown what was under the tarp. But at least the workers knew that when the Weishenme defense area was planned, the main road set aside for the port was so wide, it was originally for the purpose of giving this thing passage today.

Behind the mysterious object were several off-road vehicles with men and women sitting on them. To the workers' surprise, none of them were wearing protective clothing, and they were directly exposed to the radiation-filled air. But it seems, they don't care. The workers had heard that only those with legendary abilities were able to be exposed to the air filled with radiation without giving birth to mutant tissues like ordinary people.

One of the men intrigued the workers was a black-haired, yellow-skinned Asian. And his eyes turned out to be two completely different eye colors, one black and one gold!

Retracting his gaze from the oncoming workers, he said to the brain screen in an unexpected voice: "The progress here is surprisingly fast, the power station, the water purification plant and the food factory have been built. I heard that the facilities in the port part are still preserved, and they can be used as long as they are maintained and repaired as long as they are maintained. Your people are very efficient, and Harbour City Jihua has taken a crucial step like this. ”

On the screen of the brain, Beonliz, who was wearing a hard hat, looked proud: "Of course, if it weren't for this kind of efficiency, how could I make Black Rose and the other two families equal in just over ten years." ”

"I know you can do it, everything. Zero said with a pun, looking at Beon-Lis's angry look on the other side of the screen, he smiled and asked, "The construction of Dawn City is going well, right?"

"It's going well, we've cleared the southern part of the city of dangerous creatures. This is also thanks to the previous battle of the Golden Battle Axe here, which has already helped us kill a lot of mutant beasts in advance. Therefore, it is better to say that it is to clean up, than to pick up leaks. In short, we have demarcated a safe zone that will be the cornerstone of the entire Dawning City. ”

"The necessary materials, workers, and other people and things are already in place. No, this is the workstation behind me that is the future Netheres Shield" Beonise moved the screen back, only to see a construction site behind her. The purification plant workstation has a rough architectural outline, and on the bracket of this workstation, various instruments and workers are working.

"Alright, Brown and Eva, I've sent them over. Brown will help you manage the city's defenses and the soldiers of the army, Eva and Dr. Cod will continue to be responsible for the development of the Burning Legion, and soon, we in Dawning will have our own Biochemical Legion that you can use to clear the rest of the city of dangerous creatures. You'll find that they'll be the bravest soldiers, and as for the command, it's currently in Dr. Curd's hands, but he'll hand over a couple of command terminals to you and Brown. Zero added, "Also, Eva, Dr. Kord, and Brown are all powerful powerhouses. If there is a strong enemy or alien creature that ordinary soldiers can't defeat, remember to call their liliang. ”

"I see, let's do it first, I have to go to work. Remember to come and say goodbye to me when you left. Beonise kissed the screen and then turned off the video with a grin.

It can be seen that the beautiful owner of this black rose is now in good spirits, and his whole mind is on the construction of the Dawn City.

"Sometimes I really envy Sister Bess, she is always so confident. Leah next to her said suddenly.

Zero laughed and said, "Leah, don't underestimate yourself. You're also very powerful, you've completed your promotion in just two months, and now you're already an insight in the perception domain, aren't you?"

"It's a pity that I still don't have a main combat ability, and I can only play a supporting role for you. Leah smiled wryly.

"Leah, although most of the capable ones are mainly combat types, don't underestimate the role of support capable people. From a war to a team, the right use of support can often turn the tide. Zero Zhengse said: "No ability is useless, no matter how inconspicuous it looks." ”

Seeing that Zero was so serious, Leah stuck out her tongue and said, "I know, head." ”

Hearing her call herself like Kaede, Zero shook his head and smiled, inadvertently holding Leah's hand. Feeling the warmth of Zero's palm, Leah leaned on Zero's side, enjoying the warmth of this moment.

Soon, the convoy came to a halt at the port. Leah reluctantly let go of Zero's palm, and the two got out of the car together. Soldiers have already begun to remove the tarps from the Destiny, and several cranes have been in place early in the morning to put the Destiny into the water. After more than two months of repairs and partial modifications, today is an important day for the launch of the Destiny trial.

The damaged parts of the Destiny have been repaired with other materials, but due to the different materials, the shell of the repaired parts and the rest of the fuselage are always under different pressures. This is one of the reasons why the spacecraft cannot fly in the air, and another important reason is the damage to the wings, the original six wings are now only four intact, but fortunately their function of converting energy through the light source is still there, otherwise the spacecraft's energy system will become a headache.

In the process of cracking the ship's systems, Billy and several other engineers unearthed several of the more important systems of the Destiny. One is the defense system, which can generate an energy shield on the outside of the ship through the transformation of energy, and the ship can theoretically resist any attack before the shield energy is depleted.

The other is the weapon system, but the weapon system is much more complex than the defense system. Billy and a few engineers worked day and night, but they could only find a way to use one of the weapons. It was a particle-beam cannon at the bottom of the bow, but there was no data to refer to at the moment due to the fact that there was nowhere to test the cannon in Asgard.

In addition to the main gun, there is also a gun barrel on the left and right sides of the Destiny. According to Zero's recollections, he had seen that the ship's personnel had seen that they were two antimatter cannons. The ship's hull has other secondary weapons, and even a mobile turret. It's just that these weapons have been encrypted with passwords, and they can't be cracked for a while.

In order to supplement the ship's weapon system, Dr. Kod and Billy designed a set of portable weapons for the Destiny, which is several other heavy firepower equipment such as several anti-aircraft guns and missile systems, of course, these weapons cannot be controlled through the ship's system, and need to be controlled by human personnel.

In addition to the three most important systems: power, weapons, and defense. Considering the need for the Destiny crew to travel for a long time, Billy and the engineers also installed two important survival equipment on the ship: a water separator and a small food synthesizer. The water separator can extract the clean water by extracting the substances inside the seawater, while the radiation and other impurities are discharged back into the sea. Food synthesizers, on the other hand, can produce tasteless, but high-calorie nutrients. It's unpalatable, but it's cheap, it's easy to produce, and the raw materials bought from Asgard are enough to last for years on board.

But no one wants to eat anything worse than toothpaste all the time, and food synthesizers just don't have a way to provide the most basic survival for the people on board.

As Zero and the others got off the bus, a member of the Black Rose family, who was in charge of the planning and construction of the harbor, came up to greet Zero. It was a man in his thirties named Coleman. Coleman looked like a white-collar worker in an old-age white-collar suit with a shear-cut head and silver-rimmed glasses. He shook hands with Zero and said, "It's nice to meet you, my lord." ”

"Just call me zero. Zero smiled.

"No, no, that's how. Coleman panicked, "If our head of the family knows that he is so disrespectful to adults, I won't have a good life." ”

Looking like he wasn't joking, Zero wasn't just curious about how Beonise was a little woman who did it. Coleman added: "After receiving the order of the head of the family, his subordinates brought people to the city. At present, the implementation of Jihua in Harbour City is going well, we have established an effective safe area, and the three major circulation systems of food, clean water and energy have been initially completed and are now in operation. As for the most important part of the port, since most of the facilities are still well preserved, except for some metal equipment that has been eroded by the sea and needs to be replaced, there are not too many problems. At the very least, there was no difficulty in ensuring that the Destiny was launched on a trial basis and equipped with a dedicated dock. ”

"Very well, so what is next for Beth in this harbor city?" asked Zero again.

Coleman replied, "The owner of the house wants to not just build a dedicated dock, but to restore the whole city." In fact, after the discovery of this city, the family has always had the idea of rebuilding, but it is only because the cost and use value have been disproportionate that the reconstruction has been stranded until now. Now that the city of Dawn near Shadow Canyon is under construction, and the alien federation of the western tundra is friendly to us, the city can be rebuilt to provide a transit point for our future commercial trade. As the first port city in the Middle-earth continent, the head of the family has high hopes for it, and we also believe that we will follow the footprints of the Zero Master across the endless sea. Soon, it will be a bustling city!"
