Chapter 938: Delayed system
Under the leadership of the soldier Willie, a group of people set off along the road to the fertile road and the kingdom avenue to the family cland, known as the "Fireplace City." The roads under their feet are the streets and roads in the original refuge city, but the disrepair has made these roads no longer glamorous, and it has become very difficult to go. The broken concrete road was rolled up, the man-made land was exposed, and the pitted road seemed to have never been repaired. Walking on it was shallow and shallow, and it was no different from the wilderness trail. Nangong’s walking on such a road in May was quite laborious. She even wanted to become a water snake. It would be easier to climb and climb. But I thought that Vivian had just put a little ice to scare the locals. She still suppressed the urge to make a three-meter-long tail. Just complaining is still inevitable: "Is it a hard way to go here?"
“It’s hard to walk?” Willie looked down at the road. “Oh, it’s really not comparable to the magnificent road of the towering kingdom. After all, it’s just a backcountry. Tiecheng and the towering kingdoms don’t send people to sort out the roads. ""
"You two... Why should the country fight? What are the hatreds?" Hao Ren asked awkwardly.
Willie blinked: "Why? The winter is coming, the flame at the end of the world must be ignited. The soul of the dead on the battlefield is the firewood of the flame. The four kingdoms have never been fought because of hatred. I think this should It is common sense."
Everyone looks at each other, Vivien brows slightly wrinkled: "You are still divided into ... four kingdoms?"
"Are you really coming from the cold winter world?" Willy swallowed. "Everyone should know the tower kingdom, the city of Tiecheng, the city of Liberty, and the Fort Star, which are the four kingdoms of the world."
After listening to these things, Hao Ren was filled with strange feelings. He felt that this was somewhat absurd in a starship. In a refuge city built by a ancestors, the territory and forces were re-divided. It turned out to be a scattered small city-state and village settlement, and the old streets became the traffic artery between various "city". The buildings became bunkers and market towns. After the demolition and clean-up, the factory vacant land became a "wild field" and a "wasteland". The refuge was unrecognizable. A primitive society grew strangely on the ruins of high-level civilization and the ruins still exist. The narrowness.
It’s like a twisting grotesque dream.
He looked up at the sky, and from here he could see the city on the opposite side of the closed space. He wanted to ask Willie how the strange structure of the world was treated, but soon he realized that he could not ask anything: The young man in front of him is born here and grows here. I have accepted all the education from childhood to adulthood. The world in his mind should be like this. If no one in the ship knows the concept of "Ark", I am afraid that the people who live here will regard the whole world as A huge egg shell. The cold space outside the steel shield is meaningless to Willy.
Willie seemed to be a bit treacherous along the way. He was reluctant to walk around this avenue, especially after his comrades fled, and let him be surrounded by a group of unknown people who knew "witchcraft". Serious lack of security. But this young soldier has no choice. He still has to be timid to lead the strangers, and he is always wary of whether the roadside will rush out of the Iron City or the Volcanoes of Liberty City.
However, I have been walking on this road for a long time, Hao Ren did not see other people appear. He couldn't help but wonder what Willie said: "You said this is a very dangerous road? Why didn't I see anyone passing by here?"
Willie slammed his hands and tightened his cuffs, and the weather is now cold. Let him tremble a little: "I don't know... Usually there should be soldiers passing here, at least there are merchants between city-states..."
As he spoke and looked up at the sky, the dim light everywhere in the ship's city shone like a stream of fire in the darkness. The enclosed space was like a weird cave filled with fireflies, and the young man was light brown. There are some uneasiness in the eyes: "The world has gone from bad to worse in the past ten years. I have lost countless times how many unusual things I have encountered. Perhaps the patrols of Tiecheng and Liberty City are just lazy today?"
“Are you getting worse?” Hao Ren asked curiously.
Willy opened his mouth and just wanted to say something, but a strange and low voice suddenly interrupted him.
This sound came from the depths of the underground. It sounds like a slow downshift of a huge device that gradually stops working, spreading it along the earth. Although not very bright, it seems that the whole space is oscillating. At the same time, Hao Ren felt that his body was light. A feeling of drifting away from the ground came from under the feet. Willie's face changed suddenly, and he screamed in horror: "Don't move everyone to ascend to heaven and ascend to heaven"
Almost as the Willie voice fell, everyone felt that their bodies were completely light at once: the artificial gravity in the shelter disappeared.
Hao Ren saw a red light flying from one end of the enclosed space to the other, followed by another, which looked like some sort of alarm light, and Willy stared at the light with fearful eyes. Silently remembered: "One...two...three...three meteors are so good, it doesn't look like it will last for a long time... Don't move, especially don't jump up"
At this time, the artificial gravity has completely disappeared. Although Hao Ren is still "footed on the ground", the body is actually in a floating state, but the sole is still slightly touching the ground. Willy tightened his body and did not dare to move, for fear that a tiny movement would make himself off the ground: this would allow him to fly into the sky uncontrollably and even fly to the other side of the earth. Hao Ren quickly understood the reason for this young man's fear. He tried to ease the tension of Willie: "Don't worry, don't worry, you reminded very promptly, no one will fly out. Does this happen often?"
"No, it will take only a few months, but it is said that before I was born, it happened less frequently than now." Willy took a deep breath, and he was not curious about Hao Ren’s "ignorance". At this time, someone can talk to him and let him relax. "The winter is coming, the heart of the world is slowly freezing, and the earth is unable to fix us on the surface... my grandmother told me. But as long as I can I ignited the ancestors and everything will return to normal, which is what my grandmother told me."
Hao Ren casually perfunctored, silently looking up at the huge pipes and alloy bridges that run through the space. The surface of those things is moving with lights, and those lights are not seen before. This is probably an automatic maintenance system for the Ark giant ship. This system obviously has problems, but it is still lingering.
Artificial gravity disappeared for nearly an hour, during which Willie pressed his hand to his chest and muttered as if he was praying for a certain god. In the end, this difficult hour finally passed. Hao Ren heard another different low voice coming from the depths of the earth. When the sound gradually subsided, his body sank and he felt the feeling of down-to-earth. .
Willy's foot almost fell to the ground, and he barely stood up, showing a sly smile to Hao Ren: "You seem to be completely afraid of ascending to heaven."
"As long as you don't fly up, you won't fall." Hao Ren said casually.
Willie's face was dark: "My best friend once said that, but in the end he died on the windy city square at the other side of the earth."
As he said, he looked up and looked at the overhanging city buildings at the top of his head: "It was a long ascension. It lasted for a day and a night. Poor Birken, he just accidentally stretched his leg, then I watched it. He vacated from the earth, flying higher and higher, flying higher and higher... At that time, I didn't know how to judge the duration of the ascension from the meteor. I thought that everything would end soon, but I watched him become A little black spot in the sky, when his sister was next to me, the poor girl... Her brother even crossed the axis of heaven and earth. When the mother of the earth regained its vitality, Birken fell to the rest of the world. At one end, it was not until a few days later that the lord of Fenggucheng sent someone to send Birken back with a big box." To be continued.
