Roads and railways spread out the window, and Takakawa saw what many workers were building. Since the implementation of the lunar nuclear strike program, people have been evacuated to underground facilities in the face of the growing Nazi threat and the possibility of worsening environmental changes, not only in Europe and the United States, where the war is expanding, but also in Asia, where the Nazis are temporarily out of reach. The abandonment of the buildings on the surface is a foreseeable future, and it is certainly not possible for these workers to build civilian facilities on the surface today, but because the work is not yet completed, it is blocked by thick steel frames and covers, and it is impossible to imagine what it will be from the appearance of the construction site.

For this reason, Takakawa specially asked the driver. Of course, the driver knew what it was, but he just glanced at it and then cut off: "Now the Australian backline is working everywhere, who knows what is being done?" Anyway, it's all a kind of house, so let's decide how to use it after looking at the war situation. We can't stay underground for the rest of our lives, and if we want to fight the Nazis on the surface, we can't give up the bases on the ground. ”

In this area, all the trains on the railroad have degenerated into old models - perhaps only on the outside - as if they had stepped back in time, and Takakawa wondered why the new trains could not be used. Or was it that the Nazis had destroyed Australia's lines of communication, necessitating the need to put these old trains back into service for emergencies?

The five regions of Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia, Australia, were forced to disconnect for quite some time after the Nazi invasion. Fortunately, the United Nations had already prepared to cooperate with the NOG to repair communications, because the Nazis were not using normal methods, so the NOG also sent personnel to detect and destroy the mysterious forces they used. Until now, it has been very difficult for most people to travel across continents, even in the military, and after evaluation, they believe that the gains outweigh the losses.

Nowadays, most intercontinental contacts are merely telephonic, there are very few official visits, and meetings between the United Nations are conducted entirely through special communication networks. After all, when the Nazis descended from the moon, they had destroyed almost all the satellites, and how many satellites were left was an extremely strict military secret, and even the cyber globe had no specific information. Even so, if there were no repeaters built, it would have taken several times or dozens of times longer to restore communications.

The difficulty of communication has also curbed the sharing and diffusion of information, and when it comes to the situation in Australia, the cyberball has naturally collected some of them, but with the information at hand, it is difficult for Takakawa to sketch a general impression of the situation here. He had never been to Australia before, and his impression of it was roughly the outline of a kangaroo, and he had heard of it as a large grassland and a very rich mine. Now that I have come to this place, even though it is only a port area, I still feel very new.

The driver drove Gao Chuan along the highway all the way at high speed, and gradually there were some things that made Gao Chuan really feel the difficulties of the situation here: it was indeed a little better than that in Europe and the United States, but the damage was still serious, and the scenes that could be seen everywhere were no longer as natural, beautiful and advanced as they had been in their impressions, and people couldn't help but have the illusion that they had gone back decades. It was less than a quarter before the outbreak of the war, but the changes in Australia were very different from Takakawa's impression of Australia in the past.

At this time, Gao Chuan finally knew why he needed to drive a car to go to the front line - the train on the railway line ran slower than the car running at full speed, and he didn't know if it was because of the old model or other reasons.

The speed of the car on his side is quite fast, so it seems that all the changes in the outside world have a dull feeling, like a dying person dragging his old legs, walking on jagged and muddy ground. Takakawa felt that everything he saw was even more decadent than Europe and the United States, which were more severely affected by the military disaster in terms of data.

The most vibrant people still come from the military. On this way, Gao Chuan has seen a large number of military transport vehicles passing by him.

Passing through the long tunnel, large swaths of collapsed buildings can be seen, and the closer you get to the front line, the more such collapsed buildings will be.

The driver said: "Recently, there have been a lot of earthquakes, and I think it was caused by the Nazi attacks, but I don't know what the actual situation is. During an earthquake, people who stay in underground facilities are afraid, and there have been cases where the ground where the underground facilities are located has been fractured, and as a result, there are no people in the underground facilities. On the other hand, the Nazis were not very aggressive in Australia, so there were also people who wanted to get back to the ground - they felt that there was a danger of life in both the ground and the underground, and that it might be safer on the ground because there were always earthquakes. ”

"What do you think?" Gao Chuan asked rhetorically.

"Me? I think it's all right. The driver took out a cigarette, took a puff, and burned a third of the total length, and the thick smoke soon filled the cab, but Takakawa didn't mind, "Anyway, I only have my current job, and I follow my work wherever I go." They let me drive, I drove, and when I was asked to go to the battlefield to shoot, I didn't refuse. If you want to talk about what is better, I think that if you are lucky, you can be anywhere, and if you are unlucky, then you are not good at all - even if the chance of dying on the ground is 40 percent, and the underground is 50 percent, this kind of numerical thing does not determine where a person can live, does it? When you should die, you will die, and when you can't die, you can survive anything. ”

The driver's thoughts are very realistic, not very passionate, and full of a nihilistic sense of fate, which is negative and undesirable for most people, but it is a fairly familiar argument for occult experts, because most occult experts will have similar thoughts after experiencing incredible battles of life and death.

Every mysterious event will kill people, every mysterious event is full of unknowable circumstances, obviously everyone around you is dead, why is only you always alive? When it comes to ability and quality, when you are not better than others, what determines that you can survive and others can only die?

Gao Chuan has always had this thought: he was able to survive, not because he was the best among the mysterious experts, but simply because in the "script", he had not yet reached the end of the time.

The more dangers you experience, the more dangerous the situations you experience, the stronger such thoughts become.

Therefore, Takakawa understands the driver's feelings very well.

"You can't always be lucky." That's just what Takagawa said.

"So, don't think about those unfortunate things. It's not enough to get by, but it's pitiful to do something or not to do it just because of a percentage in a number. The driver said this, paused, and emphasized: "This is my personal opinion." ”

"I know." After Gao Chuan finished speaking, he closed his mouth, and for a long time afterward, the atmosphere in the car was silent.

Where the whisperers are located, it takes a whole day of driving to get there at noon the next day, and on a normal day, they can choose faster means of transportation, such as trains and planes, but now they only have one car. When night fell again, the driver drove the car to the field by the national highway, where he said he would rest tonight.

For more than an hour earlier, the two had not even touched a car. There was silence along the road, except for their figures moving backwards with the light. Staying in this area now, if you are a timid person, you will probably get goosebumps. There are no people around, but there are plenty of quick food on board.

The driver turned on the air conditioner on the car and said to Gao Chuan, "Don't worry, someone will pass by soon." Recently, there has been a shortage of manpower and materials at the port, and more people are needed to be involved in transportation. As long as the work hasn't stopped, there will be a steady stream of these transporters. They can only drive or take the train, and many people choose to drive. ”

"Just don't have any mysteries." Takakawa feels that the current scene is a bit like the road horror movie depicted: the long highway slows down to the end of the naked eye, and then melts by the night, the night scene is bright, but it is also bleak, if there is light on the highway, it is also a kind of frightening light, in the light and shadow, as if some malicious soul is about to leap and peep at him. In normal times, this is the illusion of keeping people awake at night, but once something mysterious happens, it becomes more real.

"It's going to be fine. Even if anything, you're an expert. The driver was very bold, he took out a stack of blankets, covered himself with one, handed one to Gao Chuan, and said to him, "I'm going to sleep, remember to wake me up if you have a problem." After that, he ignored any response from Gao Chuan, just closed his eyes, and didn't know if he was asleep or not.

Maybe it's because of the environment, maybe it's the effect of the brain and the prosthetic, at this time, Gao Chuan didn't feel sleepy at all. Although the prosthesis did not need to be insulated by a blanket, he was still covered with it. The driver closed all the windows, and the air conditioner was turned on so heavily that ordinary people couldn't stand it at all if they didn't cover their bodies with blankets.

Gao Chuan feels that the driver's practice of turning on the air conditioner and covering the blanket is a bit redundant, but in fact, many people have such a habit.

Gao Chuan tightened the blanket on his body, even if the prosthetic body didn't feel cold at all, but looking out through the car window, the scene seemed to be covered with a faint hazy gray, which made Gao Chuan feel a little like gray fog. He didn't leave the car, after all, if it was really Gray Mist, then, whether he left or not, the strange phenomenon would be staged, and if it wasn't for Gray Mist, then there was no need to leave the car. This is Australia, Gao Chuan thought, just take advantage of this time to rest for a while - mental and physical fatigue can be reasonable for the brain and body, but when Gao Chuan is alone, looking at the hazy scenery, he will feel that this fatigue has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, unless he burns himself to ashes, it will be difficult to get rid of the general.

Gao Chuan didn't fall asleep, the driver drove all day, he had to sleep, but someone had to keep vigil, even if the driver swore that it would be fine, but if someone kept vigil, he would probably be happier.

In the silence, time flows, many emotions rise and fall, all the same things, I have thought about it in the past, I still think about it now, some have made a decision to become the past, and some are still wandering, it is difficult to choose, but no matter which one it is, it will not sink into the deepest part of the memory because it has "become an established fact of the past". They are like the "harassing flies" of the European occult.

As the driver said, about three hours after he fell asleep, the lights on the highway were turned on one after another, and groups of motorcades passed by, but no one came to inquire about Gao Chuan and the driver who were parked on the side of the road. Gao Chuan and the driver's car kept the street lights on to remind them that there were people here, but the passing cars passed quietly like ghosts in the middle of the night - the sound insulation in the car was so good that Gao Chuan couldn't hear the outside world at all.

Until 4 a.m., these passing vehicles were normal in the observation of the chain decision. However, before dawn came, in the darkness where even the night light seemed to have disappeared, there was a feeling that made Takakawa feel abnormal. If it is a normal body, then this abnormal feeling can be called a sense of restlessness or other more vivid feelings, but in the prosthetic body, it is only a warning that distinguishes it from "normal".

Just like pain, the normal human body uses pain to remind itself of injury, while the prosthetic body does not feel pain, and it replaces this warning with another kind of perception that does not hurt, but must be felt, and a very strong data signal reminder. This is also where Takakawa has an advantage over other occult experts, he can exert his strength with all his strength and stability in battle, while most people will be affected by the actual influence, generating considerable state fluctuations.

Now, he felt something different from the first half of the night. He wasn't surprised, because he was used to it.

He let go of the blanket that had wrapped around his body and looked through the window in the direction he felt unusual: in the direction he had to take the car, along the long road with no end in sight, something was approaching. He didn't see the object, he couldn't estimate the speed of its approach, it was all based on feeling. This keen sense cannot determine the distance between the strange and himself, nor the speed of the other party's travel, but it can estimate when it will reach the near side. (To be continued.) )
