Chapter 38: Not as beautiful as imagined?

"What, what, ah!?"

Alice stood on the bow of the Yukikaze, dumbfounded by the sight in front of her.

At this time, the three of them had successfully entered the coastal waters of Lottana City, but they did not get their wish. They saw the rumored infinitely beautiful seascape. What appeared in front of them was an extremely polluted sea area. Compared with the clear blue sea outside,

Compared with the sea water, the sea water here is glowing with a rotten and miserable green, and it looks like a large group of dead moss floating on the sea surface. At a glance, it is shocking.

Moreover, as the Yukikaze gradually deepened, the pollution of the seawater became more and more serious, and all kinds of strange drifting objects gradually appeared in the sea: beer bottles, broken crates, which had been soaked in the sea for too long and lost their original color.

Cloth bags, bottles and jars of unknown purpose, vegetable leaves that were riddled with holes... and even the bodies of dead cats and mice, emitting a stench in the pile of garbage. Navigating in such a dirty place

In the messy and filthy sea, Alice almost thought she was walking in a garbage dump. The drifting debris formed another ocean, even more empty than the original ocean. She almost wanted to open her huge mouth and swallow up these outsiders.

In their dark, foul-smelling bellies.

Alice suddenly felt uncomfortable when she saw this scene. She had to pinch her nose and lower her head to force herself to ignore the scene. Only then did her slightly cramped stomach feel better, and she did not vomit because of this messy scene that clearly exceeded the lower limit.

.

The Yukikaze is still moving forward, and the shadow of the city gradually expands, from a vague outline to a detailed picture. The houses and buildings in suburban Heligoland appear in the sight of the three people. According to "City Tourism in the Rikumagami Region"

According to the "Guide", if the city of Lottana is the most famous resort on land and sea, then the suburbs of Heligoland are the best tourist spots in Lottana.

Two-thirds of the gentle beach areas and Gulf Stream areas of the long coastline are formed in this suburb. In addition, the famous Avenue des Chechers is located here, a golden beach and lover that countless tourists yearn for.

The reef is also here, and the old lighthouse site with a height of more than 70 meters is a wonderful place to have a panoramic view of the city and sea scenery.

At this moment, Ringer's eyes did see those red-brick and white-walled beachside villas, but they all looked extremely depressed, as if no one had lived in them for many years, exuding an aura of deathly silence and loneliness. They surrounded them.

The buildings of these villas are incompatible with vegetable markets, seafood markets and even slaughterhouses. The bustling crowds do not look like tourists. Most of them are local residents, and the rest are ragged beggars, homeless people and drunken people.

Sailors, the dead cats and dead rats you just saw floating on the sea must have been thrown out of these markets.

Ringer's eyes passed over the buildings in the suburbs, looking around for the building he wanted to see. Sure enough, he found it soon - it was a building built in the northeast of the suburbs of Heligoland.

He opened a large dock. At this moment, one ship after another, no less than the large freighters he had seen at sea, was coming in and out of the port. The steam freighters spewed out billowing black smoke from the chimneys, rising upwards.

Countless jet-black smoke pillars merged into the gray sky, making this area unable to enjoy much light even during the day, let alone the bright sea view that Alice dreamed of.

The seawater near the pier was also filled with waves of putrid stench, and the level of pollution seemed to be more serious. Although it was far away, Ringer could still see a three-masted sailboat docked at the pier, and the passengers on the ship were even

We had to cover the area below our nose with a handkerchief as a makeshift gas mask. Wearing a cloth hat and a raincoat, we barely stepped onto the pier through the dirty waves. Only the sailors were used to it and swam through the smelly water without a care.

Board the ship's deck and start unloading the cargo.

Looking further up, further than the pier, you can see rows of steel factories. The cool colors of brown and black make them look like ferocious beasts, lying on the ground and devouring metal.

Then black smoke was spit out from the chimneys on the back. The towering chimneys in those factories were like forests, and their density was even denser than the chimneys of the steam freighters docked at the port terminal. Ringer believed that it was precisely because they continued to spit out black smoke that

As a result, the thick acid-eroded clouds formed over the city of Lottana, just like the gloomy coal clouds covering the mine, giving it the core of the joint operation of the swing arm, blast furnace, elevator and steam engine.

It's really strange. Did they go the wrong way and come to not the city of Lottana, but other industrial cities in the Mindelias Empire?

Alice had the same idea. After she got used to the harsh seawater pollution around her, she was finally able to let go of her hand holding her nose, pointing at various markets, slaughterhouses, docks and factories on the distant shore, and angrily asked Ringer

He Shengxialia complained: "This is the 'Top Ten Livable Cities in Mainland China' selected by the "Western Continent Times"? Isn't this too livable? If this level is enough, I think our Linwell City

If you work harder, you might be able to win this title, what do you think, Ringer?"

Lin Ge shrugged and did not respond to her angry words, because he had already expected this result, and so had Saint Xalia.

Only Alice, who was full of expectations, couldn't swallow this breath and continued to complain: "Where is the promised beach? Where is the promised sunny beach? Where is the promised lighthouse view? This is it? Could it be the tourists who came here for vacation before?

Are they all blind, or do they think they can’t be the only ones fooled, so they praise each other and want others to be fooled too!?”

Alice herself believed these complimentary remarks and was now deceived.

"Probably not." Saint Xalia felt that human beings' malice has not expanded to this extent, so she spoke to comfort Alice: "Calm down first, Alice. We can go to land first and find someone.

Ask about the situation, maybe there is something hidden?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is also Ringer's idea, but Alice still couldn't help but hum: "What's the secret? It's just that the local government sees the tourism industry as making money, so I thought

What kind of in-depth development and tossing and tossing has turned this place into this ghostly state!"

As an Earthling, she has experienced hundreds of battles and has seen a lot.

But it would be biased to draw such a one-sided conclusion. Besides, after coming, you can't just turn around and leave just because the actual effect does not match the publicity effect, right? So Alice finally swallowed her breath and decided to follow the instructions of St. Charles.

As Ya said, find someone first and ask what the situation is.

Soon, the Yukikaze docked at a remote location on the suburban coast of Heligoland. But it didn’t matter whether it was remote or not, because discarded garbage could be seen everywhere on this polluted beach, some of which were seawater. Some of them were blown up by the wind, and they were so dense that they even covered the beach below. Occasionally, one or two shells could be found in the gaps. They were all in pitted shapes and rotten and dim colors, which made people wonder. I wonder if this is a shell or some unknown biological weapon.

Naturally, no one would take a leisurely stroll on a beach with such a high degree of pollution. Therefore, let alone finding a remote place to land, I am afraid that no one would notice even if we landed in Normandy.

So, the three of them dragged the Yukikaze to the middle of two rocks and hid it (although no one would steal it), and then, amid Alice's constant complaints, they couldn't wait to leave this land that was polluted by garbage. Biological creatures, putrid seawater and rocks covered with moldy moss... occupied the sea area and headed towards the suburb of Heligoland, officially starting their trip to Lottana.
