After successfully climbing to the top of the Bronze Area, Lin Ze never entered the Glory Realm again.
However, the aftermath of the incident has only just begun to unfold.
The entire Ningjiang College was in a state of shock.
The Glory Virtual Realm Forum even caused an uproar.
Until a week later, there were still many people on the forum happily discussing this matter.
Lin Ze's reputation within the circle of beast masters has also further improved.
Although the summit incident caused quite a stir, the people involved were not greatly affected.
Lin Ze still focused on cultivation.
After the last day of classes, Ningjiang College finally ushered in a month-long vacation.
According to the discussed plan, Lin Ze, Guan Ning and Guo Xinyi prepared to go to Luo'an City together to explore the recently excavated ruins.
Also accompanying them were Liu Man, Song Ting and Gu Lengyan.
Early in the morning.
The six people gathered outside the city and rushed to the nearest train station.
Luo'an City and Ningjiang City are more than 200 kilometers apart. The distance is not particularly far, but it is not close either.
If you drive by yourself, it will take at least half a day - there are no highways in the age of beasts.
In addition, we have to deal with the attacks of ferocious beasts on the way.
It would take at least two or three days to complete this journey.
And it is foreseeable that the process will be very tiring.
So after careful consideration, Lin Ze and others decided to take the train to Luo'an City.
Trains from this era are rare objects.
Due to the existence of ferocious beasts, the train must be equipped with high-defense armor and thermal weapons, which is expensive to build.
Moreover, a large number of sergeants must accompany the defense.
Not to mention that creating a safe driving route in the wilderness is a huge and expensive project.
Therefore, there are very few train routes in the Commonwealth.
Only some big cities that are not far apart will have a train route.
The train station in Ningjiang City is located in the suburbs and surrounded by tall city walls.
Federal sergeants were stationed at the entrance to conduct inspections.
The scarcity of trains means their fares are expensive.
Ordinary people will rarely take the train unless absolutely necessary.
The vast majority of people who come to the train station are beast masters.
After showing their Ningjiang College student ID cards, Lin Ze and his party passed the interrogation smoothly.
Entering the station, buying tickets, checking in... After a series of procedures, they joined the queue waiting to board the train.
Look closely.
Many areas outside the train are covered with thick steel armor.
Thermal weapons such as machine guns are also placed on the top of each carriage.
As far as Lin Ze knew, there were no nuclear bombs or missiles in this world.
Since the Cataclysm, mankind has been at a loss in terms of arms technology.
Currently, the most powerful heavy weapon in the human world is nothing more than a tank.
However, any seventh-level pet beast - such as the Stone-condensing Demonic Dragon - can easily destroy several tanks.
Therefore, heavy weapons are of little use when facing ferocious beasts.
This applies even to tanks, let alone machine guns.
If you hold on to death, you can only deal with the second and third level ferocious beasts.
For ferocious beasts of level four and above, the effect is minimal.
Even Lin Ze can drive the Soul Guardian to resist machine gun fire, and it is not a problem to hold on for more than ten minutes.
besides.
Lin Ze also noticed that there was a combat carriage hanging behind the front of the car, equipped with a black six-barreled machine gun, like a majestic armored beast.
At the rear of the car, there is another combat carriage.
"One, two, three, four!"
A group of federal sergeants wearing brown uniforms are lining up, looking sharp and ready to go.
These people will accompany you all the way and sit on the train.
There were also many federal soldiers climbing up and down to check the weapons and equipment hung on the top of the carriage.
"bite--"
I remembered the clear and melodious ringtone on the platform, and all the passengers who had not yet boarded the train quickened their pace.
Lin Ze and his party had reserved seats in the second-class carriage.
There is only one first-class carriage, and it will be booked out as soon as it goes on sale.
For people who have no connections, the probability of buying a first-class ticket is very slim.
Fortunately, the environment in the second-class carriage is not bad.
Because Guo Xinyi and Lin Ze both had space props, everyone's luggage was placed with them.
The six people got on the bus empty-handed and quickly found their seats.
The six seats are divided into two rows, with three in each row, sitting opposite each other.
It's quite similar to the booths in the bar.
As they sat down, Guan Ning and Guo Xinyi looked at each other.
The two girls quickly reached a silent understanding.
Guan Ning took a step forward and took a seat by the window, and then quickly pulled Lin Ze to sit next to him.
Guo Xinyi sat down next to Lin Ze.
In this way, Lin Ze sat in the middle, and the two girls sat on the left and right, so that one of them occupied one side.
"..."
Lin Ze coughed lightly and ignored Liu Man's teasing gaze.
"Woo——"
The train starts to depart.
The huge wheels turned slowly.
The scenery outside the car window keeps changing, and the train station is quickly forgotten, replaced by a continuous patch of yellow-brown, occasionally dotted with a few grey-green Populus euphratica.
As the train traveled, the scenery along the way became increasingly desolate.
The endless next door.
The sky is filled with wild wind and sand.
There are jagged and strange rocks all over the place.
Although I have seen the wilderness scenery countless times, it still has a special flavor when viewed from the perspective of a train.
Stop and look around.
On both sides of the track where the train passes, there are densely packed tall barbed wire fences.
And every few kilometers, you can see a lonely outpost standing next to the track.
Several young sergeants stood straighter than green pines at the gate of the fort.
These are just ordinary soldiers, not beast masters.
Their duty is only to guard the tracks. If a ferocious beast attacks and cannot be solved with the thermal weapons in their hands, they will notify the nearby military beast masters to come and deal with it.
Lin Ze once saw the general development process of the train route on the forum.
First, choose the train route that connects the two cities.
Subsequently, a large number of sergeants and military animal masters were dispatched to conduct sweeps on the route and all areas within five kilometers of the surrounding area to eliminate the ferocious beasts.
Similar actions will be carried out dozens or even hundreds of times.
Any ferocious beast that enters the sweep area will be killed by thunder.
Over time, the ferocious beasts will understand that this area is a restricted area for them, and they will no longer approach it.
In this way, a safe train route was initially successfully developed.
After that, you only need to regularly clean up the beasts around the track.
Although the description in the text is very simple, if you think about it for a moment, you can understand how much manpower and material resources the Federation spent in the development process.
This is also the most important reason why trains are scarce.
"It's so difficult to open train routes, but how difficult should it be for air and sea routes?"
