From the Jurian Mountains to the northwest, the mountains gradually transition into a plain in a stepped shape. This is a quiet wilderness. At first glance, there are only low abnormal trees growing on the flat terrain. This is an area where even abnormal beasts rarely appear. The taller things, only those crooked iron towers still stand stubbornly on the surface like rickety giants. An old-age road that has been covered by wind and sand passes through the earth, and the road is sometimes broken and damaged. After passing through the plain, it enters a virgin forest. The trees in the forest are much larger than in the old days. They look like spruce and pine trees, but they are thicker than the above two species. The towering giant trees that need to be hugged by a dozen people form this virgin forest that seems to cover the earth, and here are more than a hundred species and even more abnormal beasts.

The highway disappears completely when it gets here. If anyone counts, it will be found that this forest extends to the warmer area in the south at a speed of about 3 to 5 kilometers per year. This extremely aggressive phenomenon is not uncommon in the new era, and everything is doing its best to plunder the remaining resources in order to survive. Human beings, animals and plants are no exception.

The end of the forest is an undulating mountain range. On the map of Asgart, it is marked with the name "Osgar", which means the end of the continent. The Osgar Mountains are undulating, but the elevation is not high. From a distance, it looks more like a giant dam, preventing the forest from moving northward. There is an artificial tunnel in Mount Osga, which seems to have been excavated in the old times. The tunnel is still well preserved, but without electric facilities, the tunnel with a length of nearly one kilometer has been shrouded in darkness for many years.

In the tunnel, is the territory of living corpses. Those living dead occupy this place and obtain one of the few habitats.

Behind the tunnel is a dried-up river, and there is a sluice bridge that can be raised and lowered to connect the plain on the other side of the river. Through this sluice bridge, we can know that there should be boats on the river in the old age, otherwise the sluice bridge would be meaningless. The fact is also true. The outlines of several ships can be vaguely seen in the upper reaches of the dry river, but they have become a pile of carved copper and rotten iron, and have become "houses" for some wilderness refugees.

At the end of the plain connected by the sluice bridge is an abandoned seaside city. The scale of the city is small, but with numerous buildings and complete facilities, it looks like it used to be a prosperous city. Skyscrapers, straight roads, flyovers, parks, factories and even a playground in the south of the city, the lone Ferris wheel does not know how many years have been watching the city.

Although the city is abandoned, it is never quiet. The playground to the south of it has become a habitat for some humans. They occupy this relatively open area and live in the office building and various facilities of the original playground. The rest of the city has long become a paradise for dangerous mutant beasts and living corpses. People living here must abide by many harsh rules. For example, during the daytime, you can't make too much noise, otherwise it will attract the patronage of abnormal beasts or living corpses. The men need to venture into the city in order to retrieve the few living supplies from the mouth or claws of other terrifying creatures.

It's just that these lives don't seem to last long, so a leader of the settlement put forward a suggestion for migration. Before that, they have to store as much food as possible. However, more than two months ago, some strangers came to the city. As usual that day, the sky was shrouded in radiation clouds, and the ever-changing sky brought almost desperate oppression to the earth. On that morning, when the men in the colony were about to venture into the city as usual, they heard gunshots.

The sound of gunfire was followed by the sound of rumbling artillery, and even the sharp sound of missiles whizzing through the sky while dragging their flame tails. In that seemingly ordinary morning, the city was caught in the flames of war. After the war between outsiders and alien beasts lasted for three days and two nights, a small city block near the harbor was almost flattened, and bold men looked around there and brought back shocking news.

Corpse!

The corpses of countless mutant beasts, those that seemed to be ferocious in ordinary days, turned into corpses scorched by the flames of war this morning. Soldiers in protective clothing are cleaning the battlefield, and more have begun to build. The defensive line and the sentry tower seem to be demarcation of the harbor block as a protected area. This makes the people in the settlement both happy and scared. The happy thing is that these outsiders have almost emptied the alien beasts on the south street, and the fear is that this dangerous neighbor doesn't know what kind of threat it will pose to them.

And obviously, the emotion of fear overwhelmed the joy. Soon, outsiders discovered the existence of this settlement, and then a group of soldiers visited the amusement park in the afternoon. The officer who led the team put forward a condition that the settlement could not refuse. They needed workers and hoped that people in the settlement could work for them. The condition is that all the refugees in the amusement park can live within their defense lines, and they are also paid a meager salary. These salaries cannot make them rich and wealthy, but they can buy the necessary living supplies from them.

No one would refuse this condition, would they? So the people in the settlement quickly completed this short migration, and soon outsiders began to rebuild the area. The necessary defense line was constructed in two days. They used barbed wire to divide the safe and dangerous areas. The guard tower and anti-aircraft guns became the barriers that the wandering alien beasts in the dangerous area could not approach, especially the colony. The artillery tanks that people have only seen in magazines of the old age have become their guardian gods.

After the defense line was pulled up, the people in the settlement began to build factories and storage tanks under the command of outsiders. Among them, the well-informed leader told everyone that the outsiders were most likely to build water purification plants and food synthesis plants. The two kinds of factories are almost necessary facilities for people to survive in the new era. It can be seen that these outsiders may have to stay here for a long time.

Soon, when a building similar to a power station began to be constructed, everyone was more affirmed of this idea.

Facts have proved that these people are right. In two months, the water purification plant and the food synthesis plant have basically been completed. It is said that it is a factory. In fact, what is built is the shell of the factory, but some necessary equipment is pulled into the defense area by trucks, and then assembled before being put into use. At this time, the people in the settlements have become workers in these factories, and after simple training by outsiders, they have embarked on the assembly line.

They don't know what these outsiders are going to do, but occasionally from each other's conversations, it seems that they have plans to transform this into a permanent seaport city, which makes the people in the original settlement very happy. They finally don't have to worry about their livelihood, as long as they work hard, they have the hope of survival.

On this day, as usual, at seven o'clock in the morning, workers came to the factory one after another. The power station was completed yesterday, and the cables connecting the factory were installed last night. The generating station units have already started work this morning, which has allowed the two plants to be put into operation. When the workers entered the factory, a special convoy drove from the direction of the entrance and exit of the defense zone.

Several tractors pulled a behemoth and drove from the other side of the road. The thing was wrapped in a thick tarp, and traction components were installed underneath, and they didn’t know what was under the tarp. But at least the workers know why the main road to the port should be so wide when the defense zone was planned. It turned out to be for the passage of this thing today.

Behind the mysterious object are several off-road vehicles with men and women sitting on them. What surprised the workers was that these people were not wearing protective clothing, and they were directly exposed to the radiation-filled air. But it seems that they don't care. Workers have heard that only those with legendary abilities can be exposed to the air full of radiation and will not give birth to abnormal tissues like ordinary people.

Among them was a man who made the workers very curious. He was an Asian with black hair and yellow skin. And his eyes turned out to be two completely different pupil colors, one black and one gold!

He turned his gaze back at the oncoming workers, and Petty accidentally spoke to the brain screen and said: "The progress here is surprisingly fast. Power stations, water purification plants, and food factories have been built. I heard that some of the port facilities have been built. It has been retained and can be used as long as it undergoes necessary maintenance and repairs. Your people are very efficient, and the Harbour City plan has taken a crucial step."

On the Zhinao screen, Beyonce wearing a hard hat looked proud: "Of course, if it weren't for this kind of efficiency, how could I have Black Rose and the other two families on an equal footing in just a dozen years? "

"I know you can do it, it's the same in all respects." Lingyu said with puns. Looking at Beyonce's face on the other side of the screen, he laughed and asked: "The construction of the City of Dawn is still Is it smooth?"

"It went well. We have eliminated the dangerous creatures in the southern area of ​​the city. This is also thanks to the golden battle axe that fought a battle here, and has already helped us kill a lot of abnormal beasts in advance. So it is to eliminate it, it is better to say it is. Pick it up. In short, we have delineated a safe zone, which will become the cornerstone of the entire Dawn City."

"The needed materials, workers, and other people and things have been put in place one after another. No, this one behind me is the workstation of the future Nethres Shield..." Beyonce moved the screen back and saw her behind. It is a construction site. The purification device workstation has a rough architectural outline. On the support of this workstation, various equipment and workers are working.

"Well, Brown and Eva and I have dispatched them. Brown will help you manage the defense of the city and the soldiers in the army. Eva and Dr. Cord will continue to be responsible for the development of the Burning Legion. Soon, We Dawn City will have its own biochemical army. You can let them clean up dangerous creatures in other areas of the city. You will find that they will be the bravest soldiers. As for the command right now in the hands of Dr. Cord, he I will hand over several command terminals to you and Brown." Zero added: "Also, Eva, Dr. Cord, and Brown are all powerful capable people. If there are powerful enemies or alien creatures that ordinary soldiers cannot defeat, remember Call their power."

"I see, let's do this first, I have to go to work. Remember to say goodbye to me when I leave." Beyonce kissed the screen, then closed the video communication with a grin.

It can be seen that the beautiful Patriarch of the Black Rose is now refreshed, and all his thoughts have been devoted to the construction of the City of Dawn.

"Sometimes I really envy sister Bess, she is always so confident." Leah next to her suddenly said.

Ling smiled and said: "Lea, don't underestimate yourself. You are also amazing. You completed the promotion in just two months. Now you are an insight in the perceptual domain, aren't you?"

"Unfortunately, I still don't have a main combat ability. I can only play a supporting role for you." Leah smiled bitterly.

"Leah, although most of the abilities are mainly combat-types, don’t underestimate the role of support-type abilities. From a big battle to a small team fighting for supremacy, if you use your support abilities properly, you can often do it. The effect of reversing the situation." Zero Zheng said: "No ability is useless, even if it looks inconspicuous."

Seeing Ling said so seriously, Leah stuck out her tongue and said, "I know, head."

They called her like Maple, shook her head and smiled, and shook Leah's hand inadvertently. Feeling the warmth of Zero's palm, Leah leaned against Zero's side, enjoying the tenderness of this moment.

Soon, the convoy came to the port and stopped. Leah reluctantly let go of Zero's palm, and the two got out of the car together. Soldiers have already begun to remove the tarps on the Destiny, and several cranes were in place early in the morning. They will put the Destiny into the water. After more than two months of maintenance and partial modification, today is an important day for the launch of Destiny.

The damaged part of Destiny has been repaired with other materials, but because of the different materials, the pressure on the repaired part and other parts of the fuselage is always different. This is one of the reasons why the spacecraft cannot fly in the air. Another important reason is the damage of the wings. The original six wings now only have four wings intact. Fortunately, their function of transforming energy through the light source is still there, otherwise the energy system of the spacecraft will be damaged. It will become a headache.

In the process of cracking the spacecraft system, Billy and several other engineers discovered several important systems of Destiny. One is the defense system. Through the transformation of energy, an energy shield can be generated outside the spacecraft. Before the shield energy is exhausted, the spacecraft can theoretically resist any attack.

The other is a weapon system, but the weapon system is much more complicated than the defense system. Billy and a few engineers worked day and night, but only found a way to use one of the weapons. It was a particle beam main gun at the bottom of the bow, but because there was nowhere to test the gun in Asgart, there is no data for reference at this time.

In addition to the main guns, there are also barrels on the left and right sides of Destiny. According to Zero's recollection, he once saw the instrument records of the spacecraft personnel showing that they were two antimatter cannons. The hull of the spacecraft has other auxiliary weapons, and even a mobile fort. It's just that these weapons have been encrypted with a password, and they can't be cracked for a while and become decorations.

In order to supplement the weapon system of the spacecraft, Dr. Curd and Billy designed a set of portable weaponry for Destiny. It was also equipped with several anti-aircraft guns and missile systems, and other heavy firepower equipment. Of course , These weapons cannot be controlled by the spacecraft’s systems and need to be manipulated by human hands.

In addition to the three most important systems of power, weapons and defense. Considering the needs of the fortunemen for long-term voyages, Billy and the engineers also installed two important survival equipment, a water purifier and a small food synthesizer, on the spacecraft. The water purification separator can separate the substances inside by extracting seawater to extract clean water, while the radiation and other impurities are discharged back into the sea. As for the food synthesizer, it can produce the kind of no-flavor, but high-calorie nutrient. It's unpalatable, but it is cheap and easy to produce. The raw materials bought from Asgart are enough for the people on the ship to eat for several years.

But no one wants to eat something worse than toothpaste all the time. The food synthesizer just has no way to provide the most basic survival guarantee for the crew on board.

At the moment when Linghe got off the bus, a member of the Black Rose family who was in charge of the planning and construction of the harbor came up to greet Ling. This is a man in his thirties named Coleman. Coleman has a suit and leather shoes, his head is cut and he wears silver-rimmed glasses, looking like a white-collar worker from the old days. After shook hands with Ling, he said, "It's nice to meet you, my lord."

"Just call me zero." Zero smiled.

"No, no, how can I do it?" Coleman said with trepidation, "If our Patriarch knew that he was so disrespectful to adults, I wouldn't have a good life."

It doesn't look like he is joking~lightnovelpub.net~Zero is not only curious about how a little woman Beyonce did it. Coleman added: "After receiving the order from the owner of the family, his subordinates came to this city with people. The plan for Harbour City is currently being implemented smoothly. We have established an effective safe area, food The three major circulation systems of water purification, water purification and energy have also been initially completed and are now in use. As for the most important part of the port, most of the facilities here are still well preserved, but some metal equipment is eroded by seawater and needs to be replaced. There won't be too much problem. At least, there is no difficulty in ensuring that the Destiny is launched for trial and equipped with a dedicated dock."

"Very well, then for this Harbour City, what plans does Bess have next?" Zero asked again.

Coleman replied: "The owner's meaning is not just to build a dedicated dock, but to restore the entire city. In fact, since I discovered this city, I have always had the idea of ​​rebuilding it, but it has never been possible because of the cost and use value. The reconstruction plan has been stranded for reasons of proportionality. Now the City of Dawn near Shadow Canyon is under construction, and the alien federation of the West Plains Tundra has also made friends with us. Then the reconstruction of this city can provide us with future commercial trade. A transfer station for water transportation. As the first port city on the Central Continent, the owner has high hopes for it. We also believe that as Master Zero's footprints cross the endless sea. Soon, this place will become a bustling city. city ​​of!"
