Chapter 1931 The Withered Forest
A small town called Xiangye near the metropolis did have a patrolman named Yamada in the past. After the era of destruction caused by Gatanjie and Aihot, , due to the beginning of the era of rebuilding cities and new fields, population and capital flowed to big cities and outer space, which led to the shrinkage of some towns, so old people like Yamada retired early.
After being retired, Yamada didn’t just go back. He actually wanted to find another job.
I am used to city life, and it is not so easy to adapt back to the village.
Unfortunately, the reconstruction of the city requires young and strong workers, and the new field plan requires knowledgeable experts.
Job seekers like Yamada who have no strength, no education, and are still old, even if they are serving dishes, no one wants them. In the past, they might have been able to sweep the streets. It is a pity that the dark era of destruction has caused huge losses. Too many companies have gone bankrupt and closed, and the economic recession has made it hard to find a job. Even if you have to use the toilet, many people are fighting for it.
With no choice but to return to his hometown, Yamada has no place to stay in the city. At least he still has an old house and a field in his hometown, so he will not starve to death.
It was also at that time that the dam near Hoshino Village was shelved indefinitely. The reason was that it was also due to the Destruction Era. A large amount of funds were allocated for urban reconstruction and new field plans, especially for other aspects. They are some unimportant projects, so they are naturally shelved.
This includes but is not limited to the abandonment of old stations and lines.
“.”
After listening to Midorikawa Mai's story, the three of them didn't know what to say.
So many misfortunes were all concentrated on him.
It should be said that Mr. Yamada’s misfortune is not an isolated case, but a microcosm of the times.
That’s why in such a mountain village, you can meet abandoned children who have been left behind by the times.
Alas!
Thinking of this, people can't help but let out a helpless sigh.
Koda Toshiyuki was about to say something to increase his presence, but he was stunned as soon as he opened his mouth. He couldn't close it for a long time, and it had a tendency to open wider and wider.
Not just him, Kibi Gosuke and Nakajima Tsutomu also had their mouths wide open, their eyes widened, and they even pointed forward with trembling fingers.
The shining red triangle under the early morning sun, if you read it correctly, is the Alpha, the leading fighter of the Victory Condor.
But
Why are you here?
Didn’t you say it was on the other side of the mountain?
After walking a few steps, we saw the Alpha.
Is it an illusion or a mirage?
Can hallucinations be so real? Do mirages appear on the ground?
For a moment, my head was filled with complicated thoughts.
Gosuke Kibi was the first to react. Instead of pulling out a gun, he turned back. The other two also looked behind him in confusion.
What came into view was a mountain village. The village they saw when they landed the Alpha was also the village where it became dark after they entered.
This.
When did you pass through the village?
Kibi Gosuke had no memory at all, let alone any scene he could recall.
I was talking while walking, and then I looked up and saw the Alpha, and when I turned around, I saw the mountain village. "Captain, why did you jump to the mountain?"
Midorikawa Mai in the command room was even more shocked. She was checking information when the dots representing the three captains flashed on the screen. , and then appeared on the other side of the mountain, with a straight-line distance of more than five kilometers.
At this speed, cheating is just that.
"We are really back." Toshiyuki Koda looked at the footprints on the ground extending from the Alpha to the village. The unique lines were left by combat boots.
"But how did you come back?" Tsutomu Nakajima panicked a little. This situation was not quite right. It was too unscientific to cover such a long distance in the blink of an eye.
“There’s something weird in this place!” Kibi Gosuke stretched out his hand and took out the gun. He checked it quickly. After confirming that there was no problem, he held it in his hand and said, “You two stay here. Here, I'll go in and take a look, remember, keep an eye on me."
"No, captain, I'm with you." Koda Toshiyuki also took out his gun. He knew what the captain wanted to do. Take another trip to see what's going on.
Before, three people walked together, and there was an inexplicable space jump. Now, if one person walks and two people look at it, unless the space is folded, they will definitely be able to see something.
But such an attempt is risky, and may even be dangerous, since it involves a mysterious space.
TPC has not been able to produce much results in space research for many years. It is the only extremely difficult project. The Zero Drive and Max Power System are only at the difficult level.
You know, in terms of space, there is a small space called the Rainbow Magic Mirror as a sample, but it still failed to make the expected progress, which shows how difficult it is.
And this village is likely to have a 'space', and the risks are still unknown. How can you trust the captain to take risks alone?
There are two monsters in the last special small space, the Rainbow Magic, and the road connecting to the outside world will change due to the disappearance and appearance of the rainbow.
"Wait a minute, are you going to leave me here alone?" Nakajima suddenly felt bad. He should be left alone in such a weird place, even in broad daylight. , Tsutomu Nakajima doesn’t want to stay here alone.
"How about informing people from the Space Research Institute to come over." Tsutomu Nakajima quickly made a suggestion, and he also gave a very reasonable reason.
That is, those talents are professionals. Although it is no longer convenient to conduct research due to the disappearance of the Rainbow Magic Mirror, the research institute itself has not been disbanded and is still sorting out the data of the Rainbow Magic Mirror. Summarize, summarize and analyze, trying to find out something and discover something.
Now there is a second sample, which will definitely make them come here to study it happily. It is much more useful than people like them wandering around.
"That's a good idea." Koda Toshiyuki also thinks it's good to leave professional matters to professionals.
Kibi Gosuke also pondered for a moment, and just as he was about to say something, he saw a man walking out of the village ahead, wearing old clothes, with his head lowered and staggering towards them. Come.
The three of them looked at each other, and then Gosuke Kibi opened his mouth and shouted: "Hello, are you from this village?"
There was no answer.
"We are from the Super Victory Team. Excuse me." Before Toshiyuki Koda finished speaking, the other party suddenly raised his head, revealing a head made of straw and vine-like thin strips. Where the face should have been, there was actually a bud that was still in bloom, and it was blooming rapidly.
"Danger!"
Gosuke Kibi shouted, took a step to the left to block Koda Toshiyuki, and at the same time quickly raised his gun to aim, but it was already too late, the bud had already opened.
Phew!
A laser shot from the rear left, accurately hitting the blooming bud.
