What Li Yao took was the slowest green-skin crystal track train. An ancient model refined more than 150 years ago, the conversion efficiency of psionic energy is not high, and the power rune will release a lot of heat when it is running.
Therefore, on the front of the train stands a large chimney, and white smoke is ”whooping” outward.
A battle carriage hung behind the front, equipped with powerful magic weapons, like a majestic iron armor behemoth.
”one two three four!”
A group of EFF troops in black uniforms are lined up, murderous and ready to go.
After that, there was a luxury carriage, a first-class carriage, a second-class carriage, and ten third-class carriages, with another combat carriage at the rear.
Many federal forces climbed up and down, wiping away a magic weapon with cold light.
”Woo-”
The train roared, and the speed of white smoke gushing out was obviously accelerated, forming a cloud of smoke with teeth and claws above the train.
A clear and sweet bell rang on the platform, and all the passengers who hadn't boarded the train quickened their pace.
The cover plate above the battle compartment was lifted, and the powerful crystal magnetic guns rose.
Li Yao squeezed into the seat with great difficulty, and stuffed the rucksack containing toiletries and the black wing sword on the luggage rack. As for the package containing Dusky Star Rock, it was too heavy and could only be thrown under the seat, and the floor was piercing. The moaning sound drew everyone's attention.
”Crack! Click!”
Driven by the power symbol array, invisible ripples spread out.
The wheels slowly turned, and the scenery outside the car window was constantly changing. The Great Blade Pass was quickly left behind and replaced by a continuous yellow-brown, occasionally dotted with a few grayish-green Populus euphratica.
Seeing the train started, passengers took out miniature crystal brains to send messages to relatives and friends.
”Mom, I've got in the car, um, it's already driven, don't worry, I have packed my money well, and I will send you a message when I get to the school! Oh, it's okay, the school is in the town. There are troops and cultivators around, so why are monsters appearing? Don't nag!”
”Juan'er, wait for me, I swear I will be a person in the monster wasteland, and when I make a lot of money, I will come back and marry you!”
”Xiaogang, you listen to your mother at home. Dad found a good job in the mines of the Monster Wasteland. He sends money back every month. You study hard and don’t make your mother and grandma angry, you know, don’t you? If it’s New Year’s Day, dad bought a Feijian model back, and won’t listen to dad—come back to spank you!”
Hearing the reluctant farewell of the passengers, Li Yao was moved inexplicably, and he also opened the Linghe Chuanshu and sent all the news of safety to grandpa Wang, Meng Jiang and other relatives and friends.
After speaking with everyone, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze to the vast world outside the window where the sky is high and the birds are flying.
In the distance is the endless Gobi, the rolling yellow sand sets off the sunset extremely huge; not far away is dotted with a small oasis, and there is a spring like a crescent, beside it stands a lone military camp, two teenagers. The new recruits stood straighter than Qingsong at the entrance of the barracks.
Next to the barracks is a large-scale mine. A giant pulverizer tens of meters high is like a behemoth, constantly devouring the ore excavated from the ground, screening out the precious crystal powder contained in it, and condensing it through secret methods. People can directly use spar.
This is the Great Wilderness, a paradise for the brave, and an ocean of hope!
Despite the harsh environment, the wind and sand, and the raging monsters and beasts, it is not as suitable for human survival as the warm inland with four distinct seasons.
However, in the vast wilderness, there are extremely precious treasures. The wilderness has more than 90% of the crystal ore reserves of the entire Federation, and various rare metals and treasures of heaven and material are countless!
Not to mention, the monster itself is a priceless material, and many monster materials are not artificially synthesized by humans, and can only be obtained by hunting monsters.
After five hundred years of development, the Star Federation has basically consolidated its class in the interior. It is difficult for ordinary people who are poor and white to get ahead with their hard work, let alone beat the world with their bare hands.
In the Great Wilderness, everything is possible, even a fool who knows nothing, as long as he is lucky and discovers an unknown vein, he can get a valuable mining share and get rich overnight!
Not to mention that newcomers who have just joined the circle of cultivators can become famous overnight by hunting down a powerful monster, and they will rise to the top from now on!
Therefore, no matter how bad the environment of the Great Wilderness is and how cruel the monsters are, fearless humans still come here one after another, constantly infiltrating this dried-up land with blood and sweat—regardless of ordinary people or cultivators, presenting What they see is not a desolate wilderness, but an extremely beautiful hope!
The wheels spun and the train sprinted. After more than two hours, they went deep into the hinterland of the wasteland and crossed an all-steel bridge over 6,000 meters long.
Under the bridge is a large rift valley as deep as one thousand meters. The magnificent scene makes all passengers hold their breath.
The journey was exhausting. After passing the bridge, all the way was a monotonous wasteland. Many passengers closed their eyes and slumbered. Li Yao also sank into a dream, devouring Ou Yezi's memory fragments.
After an unknown period of time, he was suddenly awakened by a strong turbulence and heard exclamations from all around him.
Looking out the window, he saw that the surrounding environment had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Just now, the setting sun was like blood, and the sky and the earth were dim, but it turned into darkness at this moment. Large groups of black clouds were like monsters with teeth and claws, swooping down from the sky, and lightning bolts spread like sharp claws, falling around the train from time to time, mid-air. A large group of large arcs burst out.
”Flap! Flap! Flap! Flap!”
The rain fell as soon as it said, and the world dried up a moment ago. In the blink of an eye, it became a carnival paradise of gusts of wind and rain. The big raindrops hit the glass windows, and the force was so powerful that they shook the windows. There is a feeling of being clicked through by the rain.
As the storm raged, even the crystal rail train swayed slightly, like a boat struggling hard in the stormy sea.
Starless night! Thunder and lightning! Stormy! Lightning outlines the world into a pale hell!
