There is never a lack of fun in life. What is missing is the eyes to find it. Just like this deserted and decadent shelter spaceship, it is full of depression and the shadow of dying. However, when the old bachelor kicked the accelerator and sent everyone on the road.
, Hao Ren couldn't care less about lamenting the decline of this place.
Because he was so shaken that he couldn't think at all...
He was still worried about how to take the old maester and Willy to the "Forge of the Ancestors" before the situation worsened, but now it seems that the worries at that time were completely meaningless. Not only can Maester Oro withstand the lightning speed of the young man,
It can also withstand the vibration amplitude accompanying the speed. The residents of the shelter are indeed extraordinary. As an old native who has spent his whole life in this harsh world, Academician Oro's physique has long been extraordinary. Even though he seems to be in his final years, the old man is still not
It can be judged by common sense. Hao Ren wandered around in the carriage with his friends, looking at the dilapidated thousand-year-old ancient city and the ten-thousand-year-old ancient roads rushing back outside. He couldn't understand the gloomy and depressed feeling accumulated in Hearth City.
It subsided unconsciously.
He suddenly felt like he was driving wildly in the wasteland of doomsday.
The car gradually drove away from the Hearth City's sphere of influence. The factory building and several nearby landmark buildings slowly receded into a few small dots in the sight. Ahead was a deserted and empty city. Dust was flying on the dry and dirty road.
, when the car passed by, it kicked up several meters of sand and dust, which was swirled and thrown behind. Occasionally, some figures would appear among the dilapidated buildings on both sides of the road, which were people living in the wasteland area.
Refugees, these free travelers from the wasteland who are not protected by any kingdom nor loyal to any king, wear clothes made of rags and leather. They get out of their dens in the cold wind on the eve of winter, waving their hands while
The spears and slings roared savagely at the steel beast chariot speeding on the road, looking very hostile. However, no one dared to actually rush up and fight the steel monster.
Willy, the timid young soldier, looked a little nervous on his face, but he still carefully loaded the crossbow in his hand. Then he opened the wooden board on the side of the carriage and pointed the crossbow at the refugees emerging from the shacks on the side of the road. He said something in his mouth
Haha demonstrations. The refugees who smeared their faces with oil paint and dressed like savages shouted louder when they saw this, but they really began to give in: the simple spears and slings in their hands were no match for military crossbows.
, and they were even more afraid of the steel monster whizzing by.
Lily asked loudly: "Why are these people so hostile?"
"They are refugees and have no protection from the kingdom." Willy replied loudly. "These people can't grab factories and farms. The dogs in Hearth City have better food than they do. People like us who came out of the city-state are not welcome in the wild."
"
Nangong Sanba sneered twice: "This is really a farewell."
At this time, Lily suddenly heard something, and she glanced behind the car: "Another car is coming."
Hao Ren looked back. He saw only a patch of dust on the road behind the carriage, and in the dust and fog that covered the sky, there was a vague black figure gradually catching up, although he could not clearly see the appearance of the person coming.
, but an equally deafening roar of an engine could be heard roaring in the sand. Willy immediately nervously held the crossbow in his hand, and took out a gunpowder bag wrapped in brown paper from a small box in the corner of the carriage.
A moment later, as expected, another car broke through the sand and caught up. This car was wrapped in leather and thick cloth, and strings of white human leg bones were tied up with wires on both sides of the car. The front of the car was thick with
Smoke billowed and sparks flew out of the engine. It looked like a terrifying chariot rushing out of hell. A middle-aged man dressed similar to Bachelor Oro stood on the front of the chariot and spoke in a strange style.
The connecting rod controlled the engine and direction, and sand and pebbles were constantly shaking down from all over his body. His face was blackened by smoke, and while he accelerated crazily, he cursed loudly at Bachelor Oro: "You and you, you bastard from the tower,
My car should have been chewed up and swallowed by the monsters of Erdos. How dare you, an old immortal, run ahead of me?"
"They are from the Iron City State." Willy's hand shook and he almost dropped the gunpowder bag. "Their bachelors also set off."
Nangong Wuyue glanced at the Iron City bachelor who was standing at the front of the car and cursing wantonly, and then at Mr. Oruo who was sitting at the front of the car: "Their bachelors look much more energetic than our bachelors."
But he never thought that although Bachelor Oro was old, his hearing was very sharp. When he heard Nangong Wuyue's judgment, he suddenly patted the machine in front of him angrily, and then Hao Ren felt the car under his butt coming from the engine.
A short sound came from the heart: "Boom"
Lily's face immediately turned green: "What does he want to do?"
Hao Ren glanced at Bachelor Oro's busy movements among the piles of connecting rods and rotating shafts, and gritted his molars: "...Racing"
In the vast wasteland, two shabby chariots that looked like they were driven out of an art museum were speeding past, pulling a long storm of sand and dust. A deafening roar echoed through the empty wasteland. Two bachelors were standing or sitting.
On the front of the car, they were trying to speed up while cursing at each other. After all, Academician Oro was old, and he could not gain the upper hand in the scolding, so he used his skillful skills to keep slamming the accelerator, but an old tank succeeded in continuously
Six times he left Iron City State's skeletal chariot behind, while the Iron City State's bachelors honked their horns crazily behind, chasing after them like an enraged bull.
Maester Oro shouted to Willy loudly: "This bastard, his car has a horn. If your governor father could give me a little bit of power, I would have replaced the steel beast chariot with a new horn."
Hao Ren was dizzy amidst the roar of the car engine. He almost wanted to yell at the old bachelor: "Listen to the sound of this car. It can resound throughout the street just by turning the engine on. It doesn't even require a speaker."
There must be a lot of noise from the wheels. Is that installed to accompany the bearings?
This crazy and bizarre racing lasted for who knows how long. Hao Ren only remembered that in the second half of the journey, he almost felt that the whole world was filled with flying dust and harsh engine roars, but the Four Kingdoms
The armistice agreement seemed to be true. Although the soldiers on the Iron City State's tanks kept shouting at them along with their bachelors, in the end no friction or conflict occurred. At the end of this crazy wasteland run, the two vehicles
They all arrived at the end of the journey safely: they came to the end of the enclosed space, and the majestic figure of the ancestors' furnace stood proudly in front of them.
With a "squeak" sound, the steel beast chariot stopped in the black smoke and dust. The rivets and wire hinges all over its body rattled. The old chariot stopped proudly at the intersection, proudly showing how beautiful it was along the way.
Not only are all the wheels still intact, but even the carriage is still well tied to the chassis.
The Iron City State's skeleton chariot also parked next to it, and several of its bones that were hung in the carriage were shaken off during the rush. Several Iron City State soldiers got off the car and looked at the situation with annoyance, thinking in their minds.
How can we make up for these missing bones?
Bachelor Oro lifted up his robe and jumped down from the chair. The moment he left the front of the car, the old bachelor's waist immediately bent at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then he slowly walked to Willy and coughed lightly.
He said in a slow voice: "Child, we are here."
Everyone: "..."
It seems that the old man's buff has passed, and it will become invalid once he leaves the front of the car.
The soldiers of the Iron City State glared at Willy and Academician Oro, but since the armistice agreement between the four countries had just been signed, and this was the place closest to the ancestral furnace, even the Iron City State, which had always been called a "barbarian", did not
They would provoke trouble at this juncture, so these soldiers, who were wearing leather armor and carrying axes and throwing spears like Vikings, just glared at this side. And their attention soon focused on Hao Ren and his party.
: Hao Ren and his friends' fancy costumes are the focus of attention everywhere in this place.
However, in this shelter with a chaotic social order, dressing up in strange clothes is not a big deal. At most, some people will be greedy for your bright clothes, and if you have enough ability to protect yourself, you can ignore it.
This is troublesome.
"The last time I came here was when the New Year Ceremony was just held," Willy dodged the eyes of the Iron City soldiers, and then talked to Hao Ren, "The royal city of the High Tower Kingdom is next to the Ancestral Furnace. It is a great giant
Fortress, this is the territory of the kingdom, and foreigners do not dare to cause trouble at will."
Hao Ren didn't say anything, his attention was completely focused on the "Ancestral Furnace". To be continued.
