The retrain ran completely automatically on the program in the differential machine, and quickly drove out of the vast and barren field. Abandoned houses have appeared in the surrounding area, and large cracked roads have been paved around the railway line. There were also several small abandoned stations along the way, and the open hoods used to store goods were all rusty and desolate, like an isolated island, and not even a single weed had grown around it.

Soon after, a human figure finally appeared, a small town on the frontier of the empire, and the station was full of people waiting for them, their faces excited. But the retrain sped past them, not the annual vehicle they had been waiting for, and did not stop.

There was a look of disappointment on people's faces, and the face of the station management was a little unbearable. He received the signal to retrain and thought it was the one they were waiting for. Today, there are many people waiting to see it up close. Once a year, it's a rare experience for them.

"Disperse, disperse. He could only say against the faces of these people, the long body of the retrain was still speeding on the railroad tracks not far away, and the small management room was shaking, as if it would collapse in the next moment.

It's a small town, on the edge of the empire's borders, and it's not a matter of how many trains run a day, two or three times a month. The people have dispersed, the boring day is about to pass, and the high-pressure mercury lamps have been lit around, and the light is bleak and cold. The caretaker was alone guarding the small station, listening to the announcement.

There was a noise outside, waking him up. He got up and turned off the radio, and the surroundings suddenly became silent, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly erupted on his body.

The old door beside Squeak 、、、 was pushed open, and a man in an imperial standard military uniform stood there, wearing a cold-proof hat, his face was resolute and square, and the light in his eyes was like that of a hungry snow wolf in the wilderness not far from this town.

"You, you, hello!" The Administrator had never seen a soldier like this. Compared to the person in front of him, the imperial garrison here is like a lamb destined to be eaten by wolves, without the slightest threatening ability.

"Hello, I'm an officer of the Imperial Military Department, and I'd like to ask for your help with some things now. The man in front of him said, taking out his identification card, an alloy plate, and a hard-shell paperwork, "There should be a retrain passing by here today, I want to ask for more information about this car." For example, the appearance of the retrain, and whether there are people coming down from it when they arrive at this station、、、、、"

The high-pressure mercury lamp "buzzed" at this time, perhaps because the voltage was unstable, and the white light emitted was also bright and dim, and a thick and indistinguishable shadow was plated on the officer's face in front of the administrator.

、、、、、、、

A few days ago, there was a heavy snowstorm, and the area affected was very large, and it spread far away from the mountains on the edge of the skyline. The snow had not yet melted, and only some of the taller plants had shown a little shadow in the snow.

A road a few meters wide runs through the clean, snow-covered field, stretching horizontally into a large building looming in the distance. It seems to be a city that does not flow into the stream, there are not many high-rise buildings, and a low-rise building is about to be completely swallowed up by the horizon.

An elongated black vehicle drives down the road. There were some smudges on it, the engine roared, and clouds of white steam came out from under the car, making one wonder about the car's longevity.

There were two people sitting on it, both of them very strong, and one of them had a tattoo of an unknown pattern faintly visible on his neck, under the high neckline.

The speed of the vehicle slowed down after a short time and finally came to a difficult stop on the side of the road.

"Hurry up, if we all have such good intentions as you, then how can we do those businesses! Only this time!" When the sound of angry scolding came from the car, a man got out of the car, stepped into the snow with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and walked to the field not far from the side of the road.

"It's a person! It's a person!" the excited voice was a little sharp, "the hand was broken, and it was attacked by a snow wolf?"

The man turned back to the man in the driver's seat and shouted, "What should I do, do you want to save her, is it a woman?"

"Female?" the man in the driver's seat was impatient, he wasn't a troublesome person. This is on the edge of the wilderness, and there are many people who are attacked by wild animals every year, so there is no need to worry about it. At this time, he suddenly came to his senses, his eyes almost lit up, and he also got out of the car at this time, and took a few steps over.

"It's so beautiful!" he exclaimed, his eyes subconsciously looking around, nothing else existed, "It's still lucky, it's just that the arm was bitten off by the snow wolf." ”

"Move it up, it looks like it's still angry, and it should be saved. The man didn't think much of it, but as he spoke, he leaned down and stretched out his hand to embrace the beautiful woman in front of him.

"It's so heavy!" Aside from the coldness of his body, this was his biggest feeling at the moment, "Help, see if she has something iron tied to her, it's too heavy!" he shouted, barely lifting the woman's body up, her face already red with shock.

Her eyes moved, and Shanerna felt someone around her, it was an obvious source of heat, but it was very small compared to the heat of the surgeon. Ordinary people?, she thought, couldn't keep her eyes open, but felt her body moving slowly. After a while, the cold around me disappeared, and I was lying on top of a cushion-like thing.

"Boom 、、、、" was the sound of a steam locomotive starting, and there were other words in it that Shanerna couldn't understand, but she knew that it was the language of the Saint Dorag Empire, and she had some impression of several of them.

"Rescued?" she was still vaguely conscious, but she remembered that she had ended up unconscious in the snow, and she couldn't remember what was around her now. "But it's okay that you don't freeze to death. Fortunately, the fatigue suddenly came over the body, and the spirit that had only recovered a little fell into the darkness again.

"Just wait until the next time you wake up. Shanerna finally thought, "I also regained a little strength by then. ”

The steam locomotive started at this point, and it looked already shabby, but after adding weight to Shanner's load, it became more difficult to move forward. The good pace of progress became slow, and he drove down the main road, approaching the complex of buildings on the horizon.

"It's just right to give it to the boss, it's so beautiful, even if you don't have a hand, I don't think it's a big problem. The man in the driver's seat said, "The boss is happy, the last time we talked about the loss of the deal, it just happened to be like this." ”

"Did you say?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The person in the passenger seat nodded hurriedly, his face was a little square, it was this person's subordinate, and he looked a little honest and honest. On the way of the locomotive, he also turned his head from time to time to look at the woman on the back seat, and his eyes showed a different kind of look. He had seen a lot of people with such beautiful faces, and he had seen them in the tavern with the boss.

But he always felt that the woman in front of him was definitely different from those women. I can't say what the difference will be, it's just a simple feeling in his heart.
