In the dark green of the night

The ground was full of black spikes protruding from the ground, some were huge metal plates, some were the bows of warships, and more were broken alloy steel bars, and a large steel jungle was densely erected on the entire ground.

Between the various metal jungles on the ground, there are crevice paths like earthworms, spreading and stretching into the distance.

On a black path, a white convoy as slow as a snail is moving forward along the bend of the path.

Woo

The sound of the convoy's engines was very muffled, and the yellow lampposts were constantly glancing around, shooting through the green mist into the distance.

The entire convoy consisted of four white armored vehicles with thick turrets behind them, each of which was more than twenty meters long and more than six meters high, looking like a moving behemoth. But in such a huge steel jungle, it is extremely small.

In the fourth car, the space is divided into small single rooms, each of which is spherical in shape, with bunk beds and can accommodate four people.

Garon slept on the top bunk in third place, with the window of the car at his head, and he was slightly tilted under the thick quilt, looking out of the window at the night scene that was constantly passing by rapidly, and it felt very novel.

Outside, the vast metal jungle is like a real giant tree, with its teeth and claws stretching out in all directions, giving people the feeling of being a monster. From afar, the light beam illuminates the light and makes it clear that there are traces of the production mark on it, while in the distance you can only see a black color.

There are three blue, red, and white planets suspended in the sky, occupying most of the entire sky. But the moonlight intertwined, casting through the night and mist to form an eerie dark green.

Garon looked out the window at the vista. There is a faint feeling of depression.

"Is it the first time you've gone far away?"

The roommate uncle in the lower bunk asked casually with his head on his hands.

"The scenery outside is the radiation zone between domains, and our home planet federation is quite slight, at least it won't affect the physical functions of normal people, as long as they don't stay there for a long time. ”

Garon didn't make a sound, just moved his body.

The uncle didn't care either, and continued.

"It's like living in the depths of the ocean, and there's a deep, icy radiation mist everywhere. The plants were all killed by radiation distortion, and only a few microbial spores remained. He took out his lighter, lit a cigarette, and Meimei took a puff.

"I miss it."

Garon frowned slightly.

"Can you stop smoking? I hate the smell of smoke. ”

"Really? I'm sorry. Forget you're not an adult, hahaha" Uncle laughed happily and snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray on the bedside table.

"Can you tell us about the inter-domain radiation belt?" Garon whispered, continuing to observe the dark green outside. "It's my first time out of the field, and I thought it would be a great natural environment. I didn't expect it to be like this."

"It's miserable, isn't it?" said the uncle. "Boy. You are so fortunate that you have the foundation laid by your father's hard work, and perhaps the luck of your former family, you have successfully entered the realm and become one of the residents. But many others are not so lucky. He paused, as if reminiscing.

"I don't know the situation for decades since I had contact with the rest of the Home Federation, but we know each other better, and I've been traveling around this planet for so long. ”

"Oh, uncle, can you tell me?" said Garon. "How could the realm be such a desolate scene with no vitality at all?"

"Not all inter-domain conditions. Some places are still normal naturally, and. Even outside this black disk domain, it is normal during the day, and only this part of the region at night. There will be radiation belts, and the great interstellar era has indeed brought a large number of powerful scientific and technological means to mankind, and it is omnipotent to move mountains and reclaim the sea, and even the sun has succumbed to the feet of our human beings. But such a powerful technology also brings the most terrible ruin. The radiation belt is the negative impact of such technology, we overuse the planetary energy, over-extract the geothermal energy of the star core and crust, over-pull and consume the stellar thermal energy beneficial radiant energy, and the ecological circle on the planet is gradually destroyed, there is not enough solar radiation, there is not enough geothermal energy, except for the scope of science and technology, other places are gradually barren or become weird. The uncle gushed with emotion.

"Are there any ills of the Great Interstellar Age?" Garon understands.

"Yes, the energy of material annihilation is one of the greatest inventions of mankind in the last century, but who would have thought that it was the root killer that really destroyed the environment? At the cost of annihilating matter, a huge amount of energy is released, this energy is actually the most basic force force for the construction of planetary material, which is constantly consumed and excited, and finally consumes the most original source of planetary material, just like the ancient nuclear energy research, people are ecstatic when they discover nuclear energy, just like when they discover oil and coal, people feel that the planet is so big, there is so much oil and coal, and it must not be used up. In the same way, people will also feel that there are so many radioactive materials, and the universe is so big, it must not be used up."

The uncle chattered endlessly, and his voice was low.

Garon didn't know much as he listened, but the two women who were asleep opposite him were purring louder and louder.

It were two fat women, who looked like they were in their thirties and forties, dressed in gold and silver, lying on their beds tossing and turning.

Outside the window, the faint whine was filled with the sound of the team's engines.

"Little ghost, where are you going to go when you leave the Black Disk Domain? You look like you should be a resident of the Black Disk Domain. The uncle at the bottom asked softly. "Anyway, the two on the other side can't sleep, why don't we talk?"

"Go to the Aurora Domain. When Garon got into the car, he changed into ordinary clothes, a black T-shirt and gray trousers, looking unobtrusive, more like an ordinary working teenager from a poor family.

"The price of goods in the Aurora Domain is higher than that in the Black Disk Domain, and the salary is also higher, you used to work, and you can save some money to come back after working hard, which is good. "Uncle seems to be well aware of this.

"Is that so, what's the situation over there?" Garon asked casually, he planned to go over quietly first, whether it was after solving the territorial problem or carrying out his own plans within the legal scope, he needed to be extremely hidden. So in order to get rid of the eyeliner and sight behind him, it took him a lot of effort to succeed, but he didn't know if he could succeed yet.

"The Aurora Domain is an imperial system, and the rules of different noble territories are different, but the Black Disk Domain is an alliance domain, and residents will have good preferential treatment when they enter, and you can find some good jobs. The civilians over there are not highly educated, and the residents of the strong domain like you used to be equivalent to better talents, and they were able to hold more positions."

Uncle began to talk again.

Garon had a ride with him, came out of Blackpan City, took a train to the border Masiro City, transferred to Bingling City, and finally found the transit convoy that quietly crossed the border, and did not take the official convoy on the right track to set off, Garon chose such a transit convoy similar to a smuggler to go to the Aurora Domain.

In this way, you can avoid your own course of action to the greatest extent and be thoroughly mastered.

Along the way, he also saw the number of people among the residents who practiced consciousness.

Basically, there is one out of ten in the Black Disk City, and in the border city of Ice Spirit City, there is one in twenty or thirty. Most of the rest are ordinary people who have no consciousness, after all, not everyone likes to yearn for a combat life like a pilot, and more people want a dull and peaceful life.

After leaving the domain, the people on the convoy basically couldn't see any consciousness cultivators, and after a day in the car, he could feel that some mercenaries had a certain level of combat shooting, but he still didn't see a few of them. Obviously, in this regard, the academy is very strict in the management of the exercise method.

Garon sometimes wondered how the tens of millions of consciousness practitioners on the planet were counted on the Internet. However, when I think about the expensive process of exercising, I also feel that it is a matter of course.

It must be that the practitioners of consciousness are relatively concentrated in a small number of places.

Listening to the nagging of the uncle in the lower bunk in a daze, Garon gradually fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took.

Syllable!!

A loud and dull thud shook and woke Garon from his slumber.

He snapped open his eyes, his muscles tense, ready to be alert to his surroundings.

"What's going on!?what's going on?"

In the distance, there are other private room passengers asking.

"It's not dawn yet!What a trouble!Why did it stop all of a sudden!"Someone scolded.

The uncle in the lower bunk also woke up with his head clutched, and the two fat women opposite seemed to have been bumped into their bodies, and sat up with a painful cry.

"It's actually a ghostly fire!Tsk is so beautiful, you have to take a picture of it quickly!" the uncle seemed to have discovered something.

Garon quickly followed his line of sight and saw that it was out of the window, and followed suit.

In the dark green night outside, between the countless steel jungles, a vertical pale yellow flame could be seen burning out of thin air, floating in mid-air, like a vertical pupil that opened quietly in the night. If you look closely, you can see the flames beating if you have good eyesight.

"What's that?" Garon saw for the first time.

Anyway, some scholars are said to have studied, in addition to a large number of technical terms, the main effect is the natural phenomenon of poisonous fog caused by radiation, which is similar to the ghost fire produced by the combustion of phosphorus. It's just that the tourists who travel will see them as a safe sign of the trip, representing good luck and safety. ”

Soon, perhaps the drivers of the car also stopped to take pictures of the fire, and the convoy slowly started moving forward again.

"There were a lot of fires here in the past few years, but now there are fewer of them, and it's rare to see them once, which feels really good. The uncle said leisurely with his legs crossed.

"Spectre of Fire?"

Garon stared thoughtfully at the ghostly fire that was fading from view. (To be continued......)
