There is no life. The huge forest has not brought much to the city here, both in terms of safety and economy. Most of the people who stay here are elderly, and almost all the young people have left. They can occasionally be seen on the streets.
It is also difficult to have one or two spiritual faces.
I originally thought that this would be a temporary resting place for surgeons. Later, Cassia learned that there are long-term self-built bases at the edges of the extreme areas of the empire to serve the large number of surgeons who enter them every year. There.
The equipment is very complete, and middlemen for buying and selling are stationed almost all year round - while selling their own high-performance weapons, platinum bullets, blue silver bullets, antidotes, protective armor, high-explosive bombs, etc., they also buy them as soon as possible.
Materials in the hands of the surgeon, ores and special organs of second-class creatures, precious plants, etc.
In the empire's surgery circle, there are still many people who have not joined any group. The money for sedatives and the money used to exchange for surgical development project materials all have to rely on their own strength.
Delya came back not long after: "The transport team has been found, and the iron box you requested, leader, has also been found from the manufacturer. But because of the special material, they don't have it on hand, so they can only urgently buy it from a nearby big city for transportation.
It takes three days to get here. I paid half of the fee first, otherwise with their funds, they wouldn’t even be able to pay for the materials.”
"Have you informed them of the shipping requirements? It shouldn't be so easy."
"I thought so at first, but their older age gave them courage. They said they were close to the forest, but in fact they were far away. They happened to have trucks they didn't need to use, so they didn't have to drive them back.
.The most important thing is that there is nothing that money cannot solve here. The money is enough for them to buy a new truck. They will not refuse to agree and everything will go smoothly."
"That's good. Help me prepare the potion in the next few days. Once the iron box is finished, we can set off."
The departure was five days later, and it would take several days to reach Cassia's destination from here. After bringing enough stored steam tanks, Cassia set off with a group of old people with mostly half-white hair. Delya did not follow, and at the same time
, she boarded the airship passing by and went to another prosperous city in the coastal area. She also had a more important task. After Manoma was abandoned, she needed to find several new places to stay as a reference for the future after the New Year.
Prepare basic data for development.
Cassia also told her the location of the sub-frontier she had chosen: "Go there and take a look at the environment, transportation, atmosphere, etc., focus on observing the status of the imperial management institutions there, and just return to the villa base before the New Year."
The road was relatively boring. I could still follow the road for the first two or three days, and the road conditions were pretty good. But after leaving the small radiation range of the city, weeds and large tracts of low shrubs took over the entire land. The climate here is autumn.
Soon, winter entered earlier than Manoma, which made Kasia, sitting on the roof of the car, experience the feeling of two different worlds.
The empire is so large and can maintain its established pattern for thousands of years. Thinking about it carefully, it really makes people feel a sense of fear rising from the bottom of their hearts.
There was soft music coming from the cab from time to time, and Cassia could already sing along. A few days passed, and the group of veteran drivers kept repeating the song without getting tired of it. Every time they repeated the song, they
You can find different freshness.
"At that time, about thirty years ago, this was a very popular song in a certain region. We were not married at that time, and the singer was the one we all admired. We still remember it now."
He dug out a photo from the utility room piled up in front of the car window, wiped it clean with his sleeve and handed it to Kasia.
She is indeed a very attractive woman, with a beautiful face and slender body, as well as an excellent figure and charming temperament. The photographer who took this photo is a good person, and he completely captured all the features and attractions of the woman.
Entering this photo, Cassia thought, she had no idea that she was looking in the wrong direction.
One of the drivers took the photo Kasia handed back and sighed: "She is as old as us. I haven't seen any information about her for more than ten years. I don't know what she is like now. After all, I was so crazy about her back then."
.”
In the cab, the topic suddenly came up. Cassia sat on the roof of the car and listened all the way. She didn't stop until she reached her destination.
A few veteran drivers unloaded the off-road vehicle for the return trip from the heavy truck, explained a lot of things to Cassia, and then returned at noon. Seeing the off-road vehicle disappear into the wilderness, Cassia got into the cab. Then
The photo was posted next to the rearview mirror. A woman looked at the camera with a smile, as if she was watching everything in the cab. There was a signature on the side of the photo - Anasta Verga.
After turning over the map to confirm that there was no deviation from the route, Cassia started the heavy truck and rushed on. This was more than half of the route to the destination, and then he went there alone.
Turning on the player embedded in the truck, the vinyl record was swallowed, and the familiar music sounded again. Cassia hummed unconsciously. "It really sounds good." He commented, and the car was quickly filled with yellowish weeds.
Swallowed with evergreen shrubs.
A few days later, a green wall that slightly arched toward the center appeared in the distance. The air was mixed with the astringent smell of leaves and the decaying smell of dead leaves. The mist that filled the forest was much thicker than when he came here a few months ago.
The map shows that he is very close to the area originally designated for Cassie Hei. In one day, he can reach the vicinity if he wants to.
The number of trees on the wasteland increased a lot, and the driving routes became very few. Seeing the light dimming, Cassia drove forward again for a while, then stopped the truck, got out of the cab and went outside to get some air.
Stars were visible on the dark blue sky above, and the moonlight was shining naturally. It had been a long time since I had seen the starry sky, Cassia sighed, and the roars from the southern forest could be heard from time to time in her ears.
"I wonder if Cassie Hei learned anything else during the time I was away." Cassia returned to the car and only considered this matter. As soon as her thoughts started, Cassie Hei seemed to appear in front of her standing in the forest.
Beside an ancient tree, it immediately turned around when it heard the sound, a ferocious smile appeared on its face, and faced the scene where it was clumsily waving its hands to say hello.
His eyes opened in an instant, Cassia took a few deep breaths and stopped thinking about these irrelevant things. It was not an imagination that would make him feel happy, he said to himself. (To be continued)
