The retraining completely relied on the program in the difference engine to run automatically, and soon drove out of this vast and desolate wilderness. There were abandoned houses around, and large areas of cracked roads also spread around the railway line.
. Several small abandoned stations appeared along the way. The awnings used to store goods were all covered with rust. They looked desolate, like an isolated island, with not even a weed growing around them.
Soon after, humans finally appeared. It was a small town on the border of the empire. The station was full of people waiting with excitement on their faces. But the heavy train speeding past them was not what they had been waiting for.
The vehicle once did not stop.
There were disappointed looks on people's faces, and the station manager couldn't help it. He received the signal to re-enter the station, and always thought it was the one they were waiting for. Today, there are many people here waiting for a closer look.
.Once a year, it is a rare experience for them.
"Let's go, let's go." He could only say in spite of the faces of these people. The long train car was still speeding on the railway track not far away. The small management room was shaking, as if it would be destroyed in the next moment.
It looks like it will collapse.
This is a small town, located on the edge of the empire's territory. Needless to say, there is only one train a day, and two or three trains a month can pass through here, which is considered frequent. People have dispersed, and the boring day is about to pass.
High-pressure mercury lamps have been lit all around, giving a bleak and deserted light. The administrator is guarding the small station alone and is listening to the radio.
There was a noise outside, which woke him up. He stood up and turned off the radio. The surroundings suddenly became silent, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly aroused on his body.
"Squeak,,," the old door next to him was pushed open, and a man wearing an imperial standard military uniform stood there, wearing a cold-proof hat, with a resolute and square face, and the light in his eyes seemed to be in the wilderness not far from this town.
The Hungry Snow Wolf.
"Hello, you, hello!" The administrator has never seen such a soldier before. Compared with the man in front of him, the imperial garrison here is like a little lamb destined to be eaten by wolves, without any threat. "Hello, I am an officer of the Imperial Military. I would like to ask for your help with some matters." The man in front of him said, taking out his identity card, an alloy plate, and a hard-shell document, "
There should be a heavy train passing here today. I would like to ask for detailed information about this train. For example, the appearance of the heavy train, and whether anyone got off the train when it arrived at this station,,,,," p>
The high-pressure mercury lamp "buzzed" at this time, perhaps because the voltage was unstable, and the white light it emitted was sometimes bright and sometimes dim, casting a thick layer of indistinguishable shadow on the officer's face in front of the administrator.
There was a heavy snowstorm a few days ago, which affected a very wide area and spread far away from the mountains on the horizon. The snow has not yet melted, and only some taller plants showed their shadows in the snow.<
/p>
A road several meters wide runs through this clean, snow-covered wilderness, extending horizontally to a large building faintly visible in the distance. It seems to be an unpopular city, with not many high-rise buildings and a cluster of low-rise buildings.
It will be completely swallowed by the horizon.
An elongated black vehicle was driving on this road. There were some stains on it, the engine roared, and clouds of white steam came out from under the vehicle, making people wonder about the service life of the vehicle.
There are two people sitting on it, both of them are very strong. On one person's neck, under the high collar, a tattoo with an unknown pattern is faintly visible.
The speed of the vehicle slowed down soon after, and finally it stopped hard on the side of the road.
"Hurry up, if we are so kind as you, how can we still do those businesses! This is the only time!" When the sound of angry curses came from the car, one person got out of the car and stepped in with a deep kick and a shallow kick.
In the snow, we walked to the field not far from the roadside.
"It's a person! It's a person!" The excited voice was a bit sharp, "My hand was broken, was it attacked by a snow wolf?"
The man turned back to the person in the driver's seat and shouted: "What should I do? Do you want to save her? She is a woman?"
"Female?" The person in the driver's seat was originally very impatient. He was not a person who liked troublesome things. This place is on the edge of the wilderness. There are many people attacked by wild animals every year. There is no need to go there.
Guan suddenly became energetic and his eyes almost gleamed. He also got out of the car and walked over in a few steps.
"So beautiful!" He exclaimed, looking around subconsciously, and saw that nothing else existed. "It's lucky, but my arm was bitten off by a snow wolf."
"Move it up. It looks like you're still alive. You should be able to be saved." The man didn't think much about it. As he spoke, he leaned down and reached out to hug the beautiful woman in front of him.
"It's so heavy!" Apart from the coldness on his body, this was the biggest feeling he had at the moment. "Help, help, see if there is anything iron tied to her body. It's too heavy!" he shouted, barely holding the woman's body back.
He lifted his body up and his face was already red from shock.
Her eyes moved, and Shanerna felt someone beside her. It was an obvious source of heat, but compared with the heat of the surgeon, it was very small. Ordinary people? She thought, she couldn't open her eyes, she just felt her body.
He was moving slowly. Soon, the coldness around him disappeared, and he was lying on something like a soft cushion.
"Boom, boom, boom," was the sound of a steam locomotive starting up. There were other words in it that Shanerna couldn't understand, but she knew it was the language of the Saint Dolag Empire, and she had some impressions of some of the pronunciations. "Were you rescued?" Her consciousness was still very vague. She just remembered that she finally passed out in the snow. As for what was around her, she could no longer remember. "But it's okay, I won't freeze to death."
I was thankful in my heart, but fatigue suddenly surged into my body, and my slightly recovered spirit fell into darkness again.
"It will be fine when I wake up next time." Shan Erna finally thought, "I will have recovered a little strength by then."
The steam locomotive started at this time. It already looked dilapidated. After adding Shan Erna's load, it became more difficult to move forward. The originally good forward speed also became slow, driving on the road, towards
The buildings on the horizon are approaching.
"It's just enough to give to the boss. It's so beautiful. Even if one hand is lost, I think it won't be a big problem." The person in the driver's seat said, "Boss is happy. The transaction loss we lost last time was just right.
This is the past."
"Do you think so?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The person in the passenger seat nodded quickly. His face was a little square. He was this person's subordinate, and he looked a bit honest. As the motorcycle moved forward, he turned his head to look at the car behind him from time to time.
The woman on the seat had a different look in her eyes. He had seen a lot of people with such beautiful faces, and he saw them when he followed the boss into the tavern.
But he always felt that the woman in front of him was definitely different from those women. He couldn't say what the difference was, but it was just a simple feeling in his heart.
