Volume 1 The Rhine Chapter 9 Borderlands

With a whimpering siren, the darkened old train slowly docked on the platform, where it would stop for a few minutes to exchange passengers getting on and off.

"XC906, this is the train to the Borderlands."

It was late at night, and the sparse passengers who walked out of the dark train became free-moving elements after passing through the ticket gates, and they seemed a little noisy on this dark and rainy night.

When Su Xuan spoke, he found that the air he exhaled condensed into a long string of white vapor, and from the time he came out of No. 32 Bailey Street to the present, the temperature had dropped significantly again, which was a sign before the onset of winter.

"I recognize the car, and it's going to Sizen, outside of our town, where it's called Borderlands, but it's all sand," he said. Next to it is the largest desert in the Rhine, Canta. ”

Chu Chenyu nodded, "That's right, according to the information provided by Shatak, the old-style base he said is hidden in that desert, and only by finding it can we leave this astral body." ”

Su Xuan rubbed his hands, looked at the ticket inspector who was still polishing his eyes even late at night, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Have you bought a ticket?" But at the moment, they don't seem to be able to buy this kind of thing through their real names, "So how are we going to get there?" ”

"The wanted of the Reich is regional, that is, they act like they don't know where we are. We can also assume that their overt forces have not yet intervened here. "But unless we rely on this car, we'll have to take a little longer to leave." When the ghosts of the empire also arrive here, it will be difficult to leave. ”

This sentence seemed to be said to Su Xuan, and Su Xuan also roughly understood what she meant, after all, those forces that were mixed up in the interstellar world, so blatantly plundering other people's things, this was a bit ugly.

Chu Chenyu didn't speak, just took out three tickets from the pockets of his clothes, and then distributed them to them, XC906! One for each person! Su Xuan and Lin's eyes widened, and Su Xuan exclaimed, "This, this, where did you get these things?"

Isn't it to talk, can't you use Internet equipment?

Su Xuan was still thinking about whether to wait for the train to start and climb up from outside the carriage, just like the TV show, so Su Xuan also deliberately did a set of radio gymnastics to loosen his muscles.

"From those guys." Chu Chenyu said calmly, he pointed to a few old ladies who were chattering in a circle not far away, "I see that they are also waiting for this point, so I took a few." ”

Su Xuan looked at the old ladies, they all straddled their precious backpacks around their waists as if they were showing off, holding their bloated waists, for fear that others would not notice. That is, in the last city, in the place where Su Xuan lived before, it is guaranteed that there will not be even a belt left in half a day.

"When did you make a move, I didn't even find out!" Lin said, hurriedly packed up his belongings, as if he was afraid that he would be shunned by Chu Chenyu if he was not careful. They didn't have a lot of luggage, except for Irene who carried an extra backpack with her favorite sweets.

"Let's go, let's get on board." Chu Chenyu said.

After the passengers were unloaded, the boarding prompt broadcast sounded on the platform, and many passengers gathered towards the ticket gate of XC906, and Su Xuan and his party also mixed in the crowd.

The ticket inspector was a forty or fifty-year-old fat old man, and after reading their tickets on the ticket gate, the old aunt looked at the two young people in front of her with some surprise, first looked at the short one, and asked, "Zhang Cuihua?" He looked at the tall one again and asked, "Li Mingyuan?" ”

Su Xuan was taken aback, thinking to herself who these two people were, and then saw Chu Chenyu, who was expressionless, replied lightly as usual, "Yes." ”

Only then did he react, and hurriedly nodded, "Cuihua." He pointed to himself.

The aunt let them go, but she felt a little emotionally that the names of young people are so artistic now, and I really can't understand the times more and more.

Irene gloated in the back, she pulled her throat and said, "Xiaohua Xiaohua, wait for me......"

At the end of the waiting time, with this whin, the train slowly started to leave the end of the city, and drove towards the dark and unknown lost.

At noon the next day, XC906 arrived at a desolate town full of tires and broken nets, there is no wet and cold weather in the end city, the air is slightly dry, there is little vegetation on the land, and most of the road is gravel and sand.

Taking advantage of the time when the train was replenishing in this town, Su Xuan and his party sneaked into the town.

Chu Chenyu said, "This place is called Shaman Town, half of the land belongs to the Rhine Order, the other half belongs to the Terra Territory, and the border is only separated by barbed wire. I once knew a friend here who could provide us with transportation to walk in the desert. ”

Behind a humble bicycle repair shop, Su Xuan really saw the border separated by a long barbed wire fence, the iron mesh was already rusty, and from this border, the legal order of the Rhine would no longer take effect on the citizens of the Rhine.

It was the borderlands, the area beyond the borders of the Rhine Order, when the Rhine was still a free federation, gathered a large number of outsiders, such as pirates, smugglers, interstellar wanderers, etc., after the establishment of the Rhine Order, these difficult to manage and assimilate outsiders out of their borders.

That's why the two have been on good terms so far.

To put it more simply, the Borderlands is the land of the jungle, and even if you die there, no one cares, because natural selection, this is the most natural place to survive, and only the strong can survive.

"When you get out, don't mess around." Could it be that Irene said to Su Xuan, "If we die, won't we be laughed at!" ”

Joke...... What is the meaning? Is it very good to indirectly satirize the robbers and bandits of the Rhine? You know, their ancestors may be from the interstellar eh. What is that, where all stories begin......

The town is close to the road, and next to a cold gas supply station, stands a single-storey, flat-roofed restaurant, which is as simple as the town's appearance, supported only by four stone pillars and walled with glass on all sides.

The main entrance was open, and the sound of neat but not lazy chopping knives could be heard in the distance.

Chu Chenyu led them in, and a strong man in the kitchen who was chopping minced meat seemed to notice someone coming in, stopped the knife in his hand, and said lightly: "Please sit!" ”

Then, the sound of tuk tuk came from the stove behind the glass plate, but suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something. raised his head suddenly, his eyes revealed a little joy, but on his lips, his tone was still flat, "Lao Chu, you are here." You may be seated, you may be seated. ”

He wiped his hands with a towel, walked out of the kitchen, and said Treat them warmly, that face seemed to freeze without expression change, which was very similar to Chu Chenyu. Say that he is indifferent, pour tea and water, and serve them like grandpa.

Su Xuan thought that it seemed that it was not unreasonable for Chu Chenyu to become friends with this strong man.

The restaurant where Su Xuan came is a cloud stuffing restaurant, which is said to have originated from a food called dumplings in ancient times.

When the man brought the restaurant's signature dishes to them, Chu Chenyu said lightly, "Dashan, we need a car, a car that can walk the desert." ”

It's also a shame that he opened his mouth, since the master has good wine and good food, and wants to ask the master for something again, anyone will be a little embarrassed in their hearts, but this shows that the relationship between these two people is by no means ordinary.

"Walking in the desert? What desert to go? The man named Dashan asked them.

"It's better to be able to walk through this desert in one go." Chu Chenyu pointed to the reverse of a mountain outside the restaurant.

"I see." Dashan's face smiled stiffly, he walked into the kitchen, took a bunch of keys from the nails of the stone pillar, and threw them to Chu Chenyu. "2 rows of 46 columns in the backyard, hybrid Sayue car, is the sand-colored one! Using electricity from the sun during the day and fuel at night, you can always walk for days and nights. That's right, add your own fuel! ”

Chu Chenyu didn't thank him, and directly put the key away.

Suddenly, Dashan's brain seemed to jump and asked, "Are you going...... Desert?! ”

He remembered the Cantar, known as the Sea of Death Sands, and knew that the three men had lost their way to death.

Oyama's gaze examined the three people, and his gaze suddenly rested on Irene's face, Irene's face was indeed beautiful, but Oyama found out that she was a woman.

He asked Chu Chenyu: "You woman?" ”

At this time, Su Xuan also pricked up his ears gossipingly, and without listening to Chu Chenyu's answer, he heard Irene generously admit, "Yes!" What's wrong? ”

It doesn't sound like it!

Dashan's tone of speech was not as indifferent as Chu Chenyu's, but he seemed to speak very slowly, or he had a problem with speech disorders, and he jokingly gossiped casually, but he didn't expect to blow up a big secret. "Woman Woman Woman ...... It shouldn't be, it's time to come here......"

He almost didn't speak in one breath, and his forehead was already sweating.

"You're a strange person, what do you mean, shouldn't you or shouldn't?" Irene bit down on her spoon and said deliberately.

Dashan knew that she was joking, and looked at Su Xuan.

Su Xuan felt that Dashan looked at him a little strangely, and then he listened to the man ask with emotion, "This is your cub?" It's all grown so big! ”

Chu Chenyu finally couldn't sit still, he coughed a few times, stood up and patted Dashan's broad shoulder, "Dashan, if you don't speak, no one knows that you stutter." Also, take care, we have to go. ”

"This is going to leave, how can you ......" After this big-shouldered man heard that Chu Chenyu was leaving, he really couldn't say it clearly.

"Alright." Chu Chenyu patted this guy on the shoulder again, "You also know our identity, if someone chases us, it doesn't hurt to tell them where we are going." Just don't put yourself in it. ”

"Rest assured. Anyone who dares to make trouble, I will chop him into meat sauce. ”

When he said this, the man's tone returned to "normal", but Su Xuan suddenly felt that the cloud filling he had just eaten didn't seem so delicious.

Just when Dashan, a guy who is not very good at talking, can't wait for them. A group of people walked in from outside the door, and while they were still outside the door, they heard them talking about "dragon sandalwood", "the world is so big, I'm afraid there is only one place to find it", "I can find it and make a fortune" and so on.

When they came in, they each kept quiet, for fear of being heard.

It's just that these people, their faces are not very friendly, and one of their eyes has a hideous scar, as if they have been chopped by an axe; One has a blue forehead and a black face, and a fierce face; A skinny bag with a high-pitched voice.

Even though Su Xuan had never seen the world, he knew at this moment that these guys were by no means good people.

The mountain said, "You better hurry away, from behind the kitchen." These people are from outside the circle, and although this is the territory of the Rhine, there will be no one to manage it here. ”

Dashan took out a tablecloth and polished the "want to fight out" sign in the center of the restaurant, and then walked up to the three people respectfully and asked them what they wanted.

"Serve all the most expensive dishes here, my eldest brother and I are doing big business." The skinny bald man said in a shrill voice, looking very haughty.

The mountain, which has a big waist and a round waist, does not have the kind of majestic posture when chopping meat, nods and waits for grandpa.

In order to make a difference, Su Xuan and the others were also about to leave, but as soon as they got together, they heard a sharp voice like a poisonous snake coming from the three of them, and the air seemed to be infected with the scarlet smell of poisonous snakes, which was disgusting, "Slow down!" ”

Among the three, the bald man stood up, the snake's thin eyes resting on the thin waist of Irene's crow's skirt, "I don't think a few of them look like locals." ”

Locals, of course, refer to the Rhine.

Dashan hurriedly stopped, "These three guests are from the mainland of the Rhine. ”

He deliberately emphasized the words "Rhine interior" to remind them that this is the scope of the Rhine order to take effect, after all, if the Rhine is really investigated, I am afraid that it will lead to the first battle between the Rhine and foreign races.

Originally, Su Xuan thought that more things were better than less, and Chu Chenyu was also silent, but Irene suddenly said, "What's the matter?" The tone was unpleasant.

The mountains were speechless, and the protection of the Rhine order was limited to the citizens of the Rhine.

The bald man hissed like a poisonous snake, "In that case, the girl must be careful, we are not good people." ”

A bad guy will never tell others that he is a bad guy, except that he is ten times worse than a bad guy, and he doesn't even bother to quibble.

"Third brother, I'm afraid the origins of these people are not simple, now it's better not to cause trouble."

"Don't worry, big brother, with big brother Heisha, what are we afraid of." The bald man stole a glance at the black face, and saw the big man with the black face sitting expressionlessly, and the last trace of worry in his heart was gone. "I'll get straight to the point."

"Girl, you stay, and I will let your companions go; If you don't want to stay, don't even think about leaving. ”

He thought that one of the two men next to the girl would kneel on his knees and beg for mercy, but the two of them did not move as if they had not heard at all, which made him even more relieved.

Su Xuan wanted to give this bald head a kick, but when he saw their vicious appearance, his legs were weak, and Chu Chenyu could still keep silent.

In the end, it was Irene who spoke herself, and a chilling aura emanated from her, "The one called Da Mo Mountain, you can find a dead face after the money." ”

The iron chair fixed to the floor was pulled from the ground like a seedling, and the cracking of steel tore the heart. A screw bullet flew into Su Xuan's face, and it hurt hotly, but he didn't care anymore, the beautiful girl in front of him was really a "demon".

"Death!"

With a loud shout, Irene threw the iron chair out of the way......
