Chapter 613: Ukuru Desert
The Ukuru Desert, which is called the Land of God's Punishment by the locals.
It has a vast land of tens of millions of square kilometers. If the Ukuru Courtyard is isolated from the outside world, then this is also a relatively closed area in the Ukuru Courtyard.
This closure does not mean that the people living in this area are ignorant and backward.
On the contrary, they are exposed to military-related jobs, such as fitters, welders, lathe operators, electricians, chemical mixers, magic debuggers, prospectors, firepower operators, various mechanical equipment operators, etc. Even if they live at the bottom of the society, they often have good industrial skills.
The people here understand the concepts of monsters and gods better than those outside the Great Gobi Desert.
The believers of Ukuru have a barbaric and cowardly impression of the people living in the Great Gobi Desert, while the people living in the Great Gobi Desert have an ignorant impression of the people in other areas of Ukuru.
The Ukuru Desert is somewhat out of tune with other areas in this ‘death’ world. At the same time, compared to Bridges and the high gods, most people living in the Ukuru Desert work for the Naden Group, and their lives rely more on the Naden Group.
A town full of western style, the Ukuru Desert has bunkers, high-explosive weapons test sites, missile silos, empty airports, concentrated heavy vehicles, and bases where weapons are thrown and piled like garbage, but there are no cities here.
In those uninhabited areas, with factories and weapons storage bases as the center, there are many town-sized human settlements distributed throughout the desert.
This land should have suffered from erosion that was difficult to heal itself, and there are many volcanoes here. Although most of these volcanoes have become extinct volcanoes now, the climate of the desert is still hot and dry all year round.
Xitou Town, one of the countless small towns in the Great Gobi Desert, the hot wind on the street rolled up dust, and the air was filled with dry heat at noon and dusk. Most of the herbs in the town, except for palms and cacti, were decadent and drooping with wilted leaves.
In the tavern of the town, people wearing work clothes gathered here to drink iced drinks. Among the rough men, there were a few fat and tough women.
The waitresses with good figures leaned lazily on the bar. When someone asked loudly for drinks, they would shake their plump buttocks and breasts to chat with some guests they liked.
It must be said that there is no shortage of women's rights advocates in every world. In the clean and livable urban environment, there are also many women who are both beautiful and capable, and men have to look up to them.
But in the environment of the Great Gobi Desert, women with relatively normal work and life are generally strong and rough, while delicate and attractive women are mostly those who can pay some money to play happily with them.
This is not to belittle beautiful girls. Regardless of the natural environment, the exquisiteness of girls is basically inseparable from a lot of time and energy for maintenance.
From the overall characteristics of certain aspects of women here, it is not difficult to see that the intensity and working hours of the masses in the Gobi Desert should be quite high.
So high that women who do not rely on "earning extra money" as their main means of survival basically do not have much time and energy to pay attention to the improvement and portrayal of their external image.
Of course, having fun is actually a very good way to sculpt the body, but women with normal lives and families usually have limited time for having fun, because, if they have too much, the one at home can't stand it. . .
"It doesn't matter if those damn Seraphim go on strike, it seems that there has been less rain recently, and I don't know how long this war will last. Damn, they keep clamoring for overtime, but they don't get a raise." Someone in the bar complained.
The courtyard is a dead world. There is a lack of regular and stable natural climate here. Natural phenomena in some areas require a certain degree of human intervention. It is still quite troublesome to manage a courtyard.
"That's right. Recently, the church has received more weapon purchase orders, but I heard that the payment has been in arrears." The person at the same table agreed.
"What a lie. This is simply the aid from the Naden Group to Bridges. Damn it, if the church really loses the war, we are working for them for nothing." The person at the next table heard the argument and refuted.
"I've inquired about it. It's the same situation in the west. Now the whole desert is in this environment. We have to do it even if it's our fault. It's good that we are not asked to fight with those vampires."
"I dare to fight, but do they dare to let us go? I heard that the vampires have offered generous surrender conditions. Xiao, a pilot like you, as long as you surrender in a mecha, the subsidy you will get will be enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life."
"Ha, Willy BOY, watch your mouth. If Xiao is investigated for what you said, his wife will tear you apart."
"Tsk, if it weren't for the old man at home, I really want to go out and take a look." The young man named Willy said indifferently.
"Boy, stop talking nonsense. Look, don't you like to hang out with Delia? They are all Naden's eyes and ears. If she catches your handle and reports you, the bonus will be enough for you to crawl into her bed for a month."
A middle-aged man who sat at the same table with Willy glanced at the waitress near the bar and said to Willy.
The bar was noisy with people drinking, chatting, and gambling. The high voices unique to the Great Gobi Desert inevitably made the atmosphere here seem a bit barbaric.
The butterfly spring door of the bar squeaked. Mu Hua and his party walked into the bar in sweat-absorbent and dirt-resistant workwear. After a while, the noisy environment in the bar became much quieter.
"Tsk~" Although pretending to be indifferent, many people still secretly observed Mu Hua and his party. Mu Hua clicked his tongue with a little disdain.
"Sleep." The magic circle expanded and contracted rapidly, accompanied by the fluctuation of magic power. With the sound of "dong, dong", the people in the bar fell down and fell into a deep sleep.
"Sir, the people in the Great Gobi usually have a limited range of activities. People are familiar with each other, especially in this kind of town. Outsiders can be identified by them at a glance. It is difficult to hide their identities here." Charles said behind Mu Hua.
"Well, gangs will be excluded by some corporate security personnel here. Many gangs in the Great Gobi are run by them. I am not familiar with this place." Jacob interrupted.
Abigail found a relatively clean table, kicked the person lying on the table aside, and sat down casually.
Charlotte went to the bar to look for drinks, while Louis squatted beside a sleeping person, touching him all over, as if he wanted to dissect him and study him. Mu Hua hit him with a nut, and then he went to help Charlotte get drinks.
Sitting at the same table with Abigail, looking through the doors and windows of the bar, maybe the locals are used to it, but Mu Hua still felt a little shocked when he saw the endless chariots in the distance.
This is the Great Gobi Desert, an arms cemetery. Where there are human gatherings, there are often places for storing weapons.
Regularly arranged fighter planes and airships, neatly parked tanks, large areas of armored vehicles, and clustered mechas half-kneeling on the ground as if waiting for medals.
Although they knew that they were all old second-hand goods, and there were probably some completely scrapped iron lumps among them, but with tens of thousands of them gathered together, the yellow earth-colored land still gave people a shock as if they were in a military fortress.
Mu Hua and his group arrived at the Great Gobi Desert. The environment here was similar to what they imagined. For Mu Hua and Abigail, it was basically not difficult to grab some weapons and weapons here.
But they also encountered a very serious problem, that is, transportation.
Whether Mu Hua wanted to transport some weapons to the Cains Courtyard or Abigail wanted to dispatch personnel and troops here, both of them were good at space magic and could complete dimensional transfer.
Individual transfer, or even the transfer of a small number of people, was not a problem for the two of them at all.
But if it involves the long-term transmission of a large number of people and materials, it is necessary to establish a stable space channel, which will inevitably lead to cumbersome consumables and a large amount of energy consumption.
If two people were asked to build this kind of space channel again and again, Mu Hua and Abigail would not be able to bear it, not to mention that they were transporting some "garbage", which was time-consuming and labor-intensive, and more or less a loss.
The Great Gobi was originally a warehouse for the Naden Group to smuggle arms. Since it involved bulk smuggling, the transportation link was also the top priority. In fact, there was also a way to quickly build a space channel here.
It's just that the teleportation array for building space channels is in the hands of some people who are specifically responsible for such matters, and Abigail has no intersection with the Naden Group. Although Kunna smuggles arms, she has not yet come into contact with the distribution service of the Naden Group.
The reason why Mu Hua and others ran to the tavern in the Gobi town to make trouble again was not to drink a sip of the strong liquor here.
They asked a lot of places and heard that there was a "distribution supervisor" who was active nearby recently. They came here to find the whereabouts of the distribution supervisor so that they could get the array from him to build a space channel.
Without that thing, even if Mu Hua and his team could sweep the factory bases in the Great Gobi Desert, it would be difficult for them to remove the piles of large items here. (End of this chapter)
