Chapter 2 Novayask (Chinese)

"Wright, what are you looking at?" Dark patted Wright on the shoulder.

In the moment he turned around, the white-haired boy on the wall lost his trace. Looking back again, Wright only heard a voice from the middle-aged man saying "Hoshino, it's time to go back to work." Then he never saw any human beings on the dark-style high wall again.

Wright simply retelled the two or three poems chanted from the white-haired boy with his memory. Before Dark could respond, the "Red Wolf" sitting in the front row spoke first:

"It's the Fire Empire, boy, do you know the Fire Empire?"

Wright smiled awkwardly. If the pronunciation, grammar and character shape of the previous world are quite similar to that of the current Yanhuo Empire, it is really "born" to know a foreign language. However, during the Sunny Empire, Wright read the "New Yuan Dictionary" compiled by the Yanhuo Empire more than a hundred years ago. In addition to the traditional Chinese characters such as "Chinese", the other characters are more or less different.

From this point of view, it cannot be considered "knowing" the Fire Empire language.

Moreover, it is not necessarily a good thing to show off whether the people in Novayask have xenophobiasque or whether they know a foreign language or a foreign language in the "mysterious country" in the East.

After thinking for a few seconds, Wright replied with a smile:

"I can't count it, but I just read some books introducing the fire culture when I was in the west."

"Hahaha, don't worry." "Red Wolf"'s throat made a rough and heroic voice again, and he said with a smile:

"I said, I have Khitan Rhys' blood, my ancestors and my mother's family are their aristocratic families. Besides, the people here have always been not friendly to the Sunnese and Putoya, but they are quite acceptable to the Khitan Rhys. After all, after Ewentlech disappeared, they were all the friends in the east.

"But then again, it's quite friendly to hear the language of the Fire Empire. The few poems you just said look like the style of "Yanlu", but when I was a child, my mother told me that there were only three sentences, and the word number of 5-7-5 is arranged in the style of the Fire Empire in the Japanese Province."

"Yangtze Province?" Dake asked curiously: "Where is that place?"

"The 'Sin Land' that is lonely overseas, the older generation said so. However, the SGD crisis has been so many years, and we don't know what the situation is now." "Red Wolf" knocked his head, stened the cigarette in his hand, turned around and said:

"By the way, I remember... there was a white-haired boy who really crossed the ice path and snow fields and came from Khitan Ris through mountains and rivers. Our boss found him because of a few lives. The boss said that he spoke fluent Khitan Ris dialect, and Cruise spoke very poorly in German."

"Your boss also has the blood of Khitan Ris?" Dak asked curiously.

"Stop talking about him. In fact, many of the Novayask 'indigenous people' like us came from Khitan Ris. More than a hundred years ago, because of a 'exotic dragon race' called 'Menglu', the Fire Empire successively lost multiple military strongholds outside the core area, and was forced to completely shrink its defense line inward, giving the fertile fields, mines, forests, rivers, etc. to those inhuman things. Our eldest grandfathers lost the protection of the army at that time and were forced to move westward."

The "Red Wolf"'s light black pupils with a very oriental style are filled with anger, but the tone is quietly mixed with a hint of imperceptible loss. He continued:

"The boys who are officials in Khitan Ris always have a prejudice. They believe that humans who have lived outside the "Green Core Zone" for a long time will more or less change under the erosion of the "unintended human virus". In their eyes, the eldest ancestors, even if they are not psychics, even if they do not have any extraordinary skills! Even if they are no different from normal humans, they must be considered "extraordinary foreign races" and cannot return to "several cores".

"And those hypocritical Confucians wanted to show off their bullshit 'benevolence', but they didn't want to be poked at the back and scolded 'cruel', so they had to withdraw all the troops and transport trucks, exposing our ancestors to the 'intentional wave' to fend for themselves."

"It seems that they are much more conservative than our Cruzed people. They are much crueler and cunning than the so-called 'gents' in the Federal Putoya who advocated 'substance of species'." A trace of contempt flashed in Dark's eyes, and he turned his head to look at the position in the east, saying:

"I just heard before that because of the 'intentional wave', Khitan Ris gradually broke off contact with us. When I came here, I realized that the situation was far more complicated than we thought. However, if the situation in the Western War continued to deteriorate, Binglin City could not be defended...or, if the flood came, we might have to go east."

"But, the Fire Empire is not as bad as you think." "Red Wolf" scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly:

"It's not that I speak for my hometown. In fact, I heard from the travelers who have come from there for many years that the Fire Empire itself is difficult. They do not rely on several big cities as core connection points like us to guard against the "unintentional people" and the lost people.

"But it connects the entire "several core" area into a piece, relying on strong military mobilization capabilities and material production capacity to ensure that the internal area is completely free from the virus. It can be said that the entire "several core area" is a "park" comparable to half a Cruzder's size. Perhaps, they are not discriminating against humans living in external strongholds, but they do not have more materials and energy to manage.

"I heard that they are quite friendly to the 'powers' from Xilu and Nanyang. In addition to being monitored to a certain extent and some important areas cannot be entered, they can live there moisturized. Sometimes... I was thinking that if I had some extraordinary superpowers, even the ability to control the power of the magic source, such as rubbing a fireball, sprinkling a piece of ice water, or commanding a rock, I would drive this old man to the east."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "So, the people of the Fire Empire... well, it's still very realistic, like a... cruel reality." Wright complained.

Soon, various mechanical cars in front and behind began to roar with mechanical roars and moved forward at medium speed.

Although I was a little surprised, "Child Wolf" still rebooted the vehicle and followed it with a harsh sound of the horns in the rear.

Along the walls, Wright was able to peek into a corner of the city of Novayask, and he found that these walls wrapped around the city were basically painted black and had about two layers.

The first floor is on the outside, more than 10 meters high, which is said to be the first line of defense against the "unintentional wave". The core is four "external personnel entering the interior checkpoints". From the outside, the inside wall is at least 50 meters high. In the description of "Red Wolf", the inner high wall was mainly built to prevent "exotic monsters". It was built in 405 of the SAR and was not gradually completed in 435.

Because, in the history compiled separately for the city, many invasion records of "exotic dragons", "exotic giants", "exotic beasts" and "exotic giant plants" have been recorded, and these giant creatures named after the number seem to have some rare superpower.

In the case of scarce resources and harsh environment, they will sleep under the sand and soil one after another. Once the temperature improves slightly, they will rely on their unique sense of smell and perception to rush straight to the stronghold of concentrated populations and seize nutrients by capturing humans.

Strangely, these "alien monsters" will only attack strongholds with a population of more than 300,000, while small town strongholds with a population of thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands, will not look inside even if they pass by.

About an hour later, Wright and the other two finally arrived at the door of "Checkpoint No. 2". Wright got out of the car and looked up and saw that this checkpoint was not simple.

The giant iron fence gate at the entrance and exit is the same height as the metal-soaked city wall. There are two 15-meter tower-like military posts outside. There are two lightning rods on the top of the tower, each with military devices wrapped in electric wires.

They are connected together through lines and act as "signal diffusers" so that cities can contact western strongholds at any time via telegram.

In addition, there are many exposed giant robotic arms and artillery barrels, as well as multiple hidden "sniper points" that can slightly see the reflection of the machine gun, which together serve as the first mechanical force to guard the city.

If it weren't for the few pieces of alopecia areata on the dark walls eroded by "burning fluid" and the broken firearms discarded anywhere under the base of the wall, Wright naturally had the most basic confidence in the city's defense system.

After getting off the car and waiting for three or five minutes, with the heavy "defying" sound, Wright and the other two followed the instructions of the temporary metal sign and followed two local [warriors] wearing gray mecha uniforms to the door of the "Guarding Pavilion".

"Oh, it's the 'Red Wolf', where did this guy come from?" A local [soldier], who was about two meters tall and fully armed, greeted the "Red Wolf" first.

"Where else can you come from? The station. They also escaped from the west, and stayed in the city for a while and were about to go east." "Red Wolf" smiled and touched the back of his head and replied.

"'Red Wolf', you also know that this month was just from the west. Each of these people said that they had just been in a few days to transition, and after entering the city, they began to stay away. They were neither willing to join the 'Guards' garrison city nor enter the factory to produce supplies, which made Chief Shaneva very troubled. So..." The tall local [soldier] turned to look at Wright and Dak, stretched out a finger, and said solemnly:

"Sir Shaneva ordered that from the day before yesterday, no matter how long they stay in the city, as long as there is no employment contract for the army or factory, if you want to enter these two doors, you will have to pay 100 new rubles as the cost of urban construction. However, before this, you must do a 'blood test' to prevent those who are prone to irritability from getting into it."

As he said, the tall local 【Soldier】 pulled out two of the boxes on the table, handed them to Wright and the others, and ordered in a serious tone: "Just take out the needle inside, pierce the fingers, and drop the blood on the test strip."

"Oh, OK," Wright said, piercing his finger as required.

The dark red blood dripped on the test strip, and the next second, the tall local [Soldier] and "Red Wolf" frowned at the same time.
