Chapter 342: Going Back (I)

It was a beautiful night sky, and Kasia looked up for a long time, until the patient's neck became painful, and then she closed the wind-blowing skylight. In the past few days, www.biquge.info number of inspections on heavy trains has increased, and the speed of the trains has occasionally slowed down, and soldiers with guns have walked over the roof of the train to check the safety of the entire kilometer-long train.

The gray area is coming, and this is the signal that the breath of the whole train rises to pass to them.

During the day, the intensity of the light falling through the skylight is more intense, and the temperature rises imperceptibly. The four-person system is not afraid of the cold, but the current air temperature can no longer be described as warm.

On the fourth day, the smell of the air blowing in through the skylight was no longer the same. It is a moist and moist flavor that has been diluted over a long distance. As the daylight hours lengthened, the train was sure to be on the edge of the grey area, and soon before it would stop.

On the morning of the fifth day, the deceleration of the heavy train began very early and lasted for a long time. When the sun comes out, it shines, and there is no consciousness to enter autumn. The humid hot air made the carriage stuffy, and Kasia and the others packed up their few things in advance, poking their heads out of the skylight to check the situation. I don't know if this is the terminal station, but they didn't wait, and after finding an opportunity, they smoothly got off the train to transport the goods.

Lena carried Sira on her back, Dya held a gun disguised as a package, and walked on an uneven path with Kasia, who was holding something else. The quality of the construction of the road underfoot is impeccable, but the power of artillery and bullets exceeds the capacity of most ordinary concrete buildings. In the gray area, where firepower is one of the synonyms of order, the situation of the road that Kasia is walking under their feet should still be very optimistic.

After walking along the road for about an hour, sweating profusely, they came across a small station-like building, where they had paid more than three times the price to catch a tattered car. It is the appearance of a large truck changing into a passenger car. There was an extra layer on top, all welded with rusty steel strips, and then a layer of work-hardened iron plates, which bounced on it as if everyone were wearing cheap high heels.

The passengers were on the lower floor, close to sixty or seventy seats, and only half of them were seated. It was not used for passengers, half for consignment, and half for the erection of three heavy machine guns removed from the tank. The guns were very old, the difference was like the electric and gas lamps of today, and they were about to become the firearms of the museum's exhibited artifacts. So much so that when Kasia saw it for the first time, he didn't recognize what kind of model these firearms were.

The maintenance is very good, with a shimmer of anti-rust oil and steel. On one side of the gun hangs a chain of bullets made of a mixture of leather and iron. Gaps had appeared in the leather, and they were used more often than Kasia had imagined. Their actual firepower, Kasia is not optimistic.

The converted bus was sent out alone, not followed by the convoy, nor by other vehicles that acted as protection. If you want to attack this bus, the layer above your head with three heavy machine guns as the core and only relying on a half-arc of more than ten millimeters thick bulletproof steel plate may not have much practical significance.

There are three drivers, and one is a captain and a person like a flight attendant. It was a male, with a large bald head, and his head sweated in the sun, reflecting very bright light. Wearing a large gray vest, a twisted scar on his neck, like a hideous protruding rock, attaches to his right chest. When he got into the car, he looked at Sila's feet many times, but he never spoke, maybe he had seen such a situation before.

Now he was sitting in a row of seats in the back of the car, pouring cheap liquor into his stomach in one gulp, and watching the dust roll up under the big truck for a long time. He's big and has a smart head. Judging by the degree of development of the hair on his body, he should be a member of the Far Sea Commonwealth, Kasia guessed. Simple contact, this commander is trilingual, mostly simple proficient, Chinese, Flame Alliance and the language of the Far Sea Common. At the beginning, he made to pay three times the fare, and he also said it with a rough empire.

But looking at the way he is now, and the station that is covered with a layer of dust all day, even if it is three times the fare, this business is not easy to do.

"There is no autumn or spring in the gray area, and most of the two seasons pass in a week. "The converted bus didn't have decent windows, let alone the air circulation system, and it was stuffy. Lena and Kasia sat in the same row, while Sila and Dya sat in the seats behind them.

"It's a special location, on the edge of the hot winds that hit the continent from the central current belt. "On the side that connects your empire, there is also a huge gap, and there is no mountain to stop it, just a plain. The cold snap that causes the Endless Sea also reaches here every year. Hot and cold alternate regularly, and there is no comfortable weather at all throughout the year. ”

"But just get used to it, and you're not going to stay here for long?"

"It won't take a few days to leave, and it won't take that much time for you and Siella to do it. ”

"It didn't take long, and the prosthesis was just a matter of making a prototype and making it in the future. There are a lot of mechanics here, because in the gray area, there are many fewer restrictions than in the major countries. They all have their own differential machines, and the performance is good, I don't think it will take much time. Lena replied.

Kasia let out an "um" and was thinking about something else, not taking Lina's words. Because of the influence of the sweltering weather, Lina also pursed her mouth and did not continue. Sira fell asleep against Dela in the back. Injuries to the feet are not so easy to heal.

The speed of the bus must be fast, and after nearly three hours of wandering on the road, at the junction of the distorted horizon where the sun is not shining, the shadow of the building complex finally appeared, and the houses in yellow, gray, and white gradually came into the eyes of Cassia. At this time, the lonely car finally became angry, and some people began to pick up their luggage in advance and stand up, holding the car and squinting at it.

The journey was smooth and smooth, and the car finally transferred to the complex, which can be considered a good town. I finally saw the train station and the airfield where the airship stopped. The price of tickets has dropped to twice as much as usual. They checked the routes and timetables, boarded the train at the renovated railway station, and went to the nearest city, Porspasburg, which was famous for its trade in various minerals.

On the train, Kasia used a tactical knife to crush one of three solid red mercury sticks, resulting in nearly two dozen pieces of roughly the same size. Of the remaining two sticks of red mercury, Kasia gave one to Lina, keeping one for herself as a backup source of funds in the empire. After deciding to sell the pieces and deal with Lena and Syra, Kasia was ready to leave immediately. He had no plans to delve into the Grey Territory, and probably won't be for a long time to come.

The whistles alternated, and by the time Kasia opened her eyes from her train seat, it was nearly dusk outside. The sun had not yet set, and the sun was fiery red, swinging in circles on the buildings outside the car window, as bright as the blood of a newborn baby, as was the case in the whole of Bolasburg, a city soaked in red.
