Wow!
After entering spring, the rainfall in the New World increased significantly.
As the sun sets, the entire central and southern parts of the continent have been shrouded in continuous heavy rain.
The mountain is misty and misty, as if it has been washed away by the rain into an ink painting.
The river was turbulent under the heavy rain, rolling with turbid yellow foam.
Such weather is undoubtedly a test for boating on the river, especially for those simple open-air sampans. Once it rains, they often have no choice but to dock and wait for the rain to subside. Intend.
But at this moment, everyone is extremely comfortable.
Staying on the safe frigate, after opening several awnings that had been prepared long ago, they could even stay on the deck and chat in the cool river breeze.
For a time, this comfort and ease were undoubtedly in sharp contrast to the hardships of the previous few days.
As we got closer to Tianyuan territory, the light of spotlights shining directly into the sky began to appear in the darkness of the sky.
The cheers echoed on the deck again, and a wonderful and expectant feeling filled everyone's heart.
"Dear distinguished guests, we have about fifty kilometers ahead to reach the docking station."
The sailor who had previously delivered the meal came over and nodded sincerely, with a hint of emotion in his words. Apology:
“Due to bad weather, we received news that the lord is temporarily unable to come to meet you because he went to participate in construction command work. Please forgive me.”
hiss.
< br>
Who is so bold as to ask the human God Su to come and greet them personally?
There was an uproar on the deck, and the eyes finally focused on Liu Zhi and the four of them.
The latter was shocked when he saw this, and Liu Zhi stood up in a panic and replied: "Brother Zhang, you must never say this in the future, otherwise if word spreads, our lord will have to steal my body." Pi!"
"If you really dare to let Su Shen meet us, I, Old Liu, will be the first to jump out of here!"
Pointing to the surging river, Liu Zhi looked ashamed. flushed.
Its significance is roughly equivalent to that of a small village enterprise that dares to go abroad to contact and learn from the world's top 500 companies.
If you still expect to have the chairman come out to greet you, what are you doing if you are not dreaming?
“Aha?”
Feeling that these people didn’t seem to be hypocritical, the sailor was stunned for a moment, and then smiled:
“Okay, but we The lord also said that in order to express his apology, he has reserved a room for you in the hotel in the territorial town, and it will be free of charge from today until the lord personally receives you.”
"???"
Leaving the crew with black question marks on their faces, the sailor walked away wagging his finger.
After about four or five minutes, the deck recovered from the deathly silence.
"What, did I hear it correctly? Brother Zhang just mentioned the hotel in the territorial town?"
"A town, what is a town?"
"It seems to be Hope Town? When the radio was communicating before, the Ministry of Communications was stationed in Hope Town!"
"Oh my God, can we stay for free until Lord Su receives us?"
< br>"Hotel."
Considering these two words, Liu Zhi suddenly felt bitter.
This unexpected respect made him feel at a loss.
Even the so-called town, hotel, and exploration of Tianyuan territory were put on the other side.
"Why?"
Song Chunrui's eyes revealed full of confusion, but the next moment he suddenly came back to his senses: "Wait a minute, the leader of your Honghua Gang is not named Su. "?"
"Is it possible that he is Su Shen's illegitimate son?" Wang Bi added in a timely manner.
“Get lost, don’t say anything if you don’t know how to speak.”
Pang Pang Yuan kicked him and touched his forehead speechlessly.
Although the lord of the Red Flower Gang is surnamed Su, his age is enough to be called Uncle Sumo.
A man who is almost fifty years old is the illegitimate son of a boy in his twenties?
Thanks to this guy's ability to speak out, if this reaches Su Shen's ears, it won't be a big joke.
"Then tell me, what's going on with our treatment?" Wang Bi frowned in displeasure:
"Can't it be because of the brothers? You and Su Shen know each other?"
No one led the speculation to the matter itself.
No one speculated that the Tianyuan Territory treated them like this because they respected them enough.
Or maybe they all guessed it, but no one dared to admit it.
In this wasteland where the strong are respected, the weak want to gain respect unless they show enough value.
And what did they show?
A shabby little sampan, a psychological quality that almost ran away when frightened, or a crazy person who has never seen the world?
“Maybe.”
Liu Zhi’s words failed to fall in the end.
Because at this moment, the familiar whistle sounded again on the empty river ahead.
Everyone subconsciously raised their heads and looked ahead, only to see another fleet coming slowly from a distance amid the rain.
The domineering central command ship cruised directly ahead, with its dark blue flag flapping in the river wind.
The accompanying frigates and guerrilla boats changed their formations back and forth, forming an arrow formation for the meeting.
Except for the fact that the fonts printed on the two command ships are different, with the Polaris starship on one side and the Ziwei starship on the other, the size and configuration of this fleet are almost exactly the same as the previous fleet.
This turned out to be another armed fleet capable of subverting a small territory!
Everyone was stunned when they saw this, and there was an inexplicable awe in their hearts.
To be able to form such two fleets in such a short period of time shows that the strength of the Tianyuan Territory is simply supermodel.
If a foreigner encounters him, it will be really bad luck!
Soon, the two fleets in the center of the river briefly communicated with semaphores, and then headed in the direction from which they came.
From here on, the shore is no longer as deserted as before.
About every two kilometers or so, there is a tall lighthouse on both sides of the river, emitting a soft, warm light.
Even in the rain, this light is conspicuous enough, forming a straight line going forward.
At the same time, sporadic bulk ships began to appear on the river, with eye-catching red lanterns hanging.
Liu Zhi and others observed carefully and couldn't help but feel horrified.
They had previously speculated that the Tianyuan Territory fleet used powered ships. These mighty and domineering command ships, frigates, and guerrilla boats were ace weapons built by gathering the strength of the entire territory.
So now, along with these rumbling speedboats, fishing boats appear.
The question has an answer.
“Even if we can’t buy a guerrilla boat, we can still buy a civilian power boat from here!”
The four of them couldn’t help but feel excited.
The scenes they saw next gave them a feeling of joy falling from heaven. As they get closer to Tianyuan's territory, more and more civilian ships are sailing on the river.
Most of them are active within thirty meters from the shore, and do not overlap with the fleet's route at all.
And some ships that conflicted with the fleet
Seeing a black-painted and bullet-like ship sinking into the water, Pang Pangyuan exclaimed subconsciously.
He thought something had happened and the ship sank into the river.
But within two minutes, the ship rose from the river water like a ghost and floated on top again.
"Fuck, what the hell is this a submarine?"
Pang Pang Yuan cursed, and there was indescribable shock in everyone's eyes.
In the inherent understanding, submarines are often important weapons that only big countries can possess, and they are an undoubted deterrent force.
Every time I see it, it’s either in the news or in a hot search.
Now, they actually saw a submarine with their own eyes?
If you carry water warfare weapons like fish, wouldn’t the boats on the river become targets, and you can do whatever you want?
"If this spreads to the world channel, I'm afraid 99% of people will think that we are bragging."
Liu Zhi smiled bitterly and shook his head, suddenly feeling the feeling of Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. .
With the shock brought by the submarine, this feeling is much less when we go further to the dock.
Perhaps because he is used to large modern ports with a throughput of hundreds of thousands of tons, the temporary dock built in Tianyuan Territory looks very amateurish, and there is even scaffolding on the shore that has not had time to be dismantled.
The several deep-dug sinks looked like they had been gnawed by dogs, and were full of mess.
However, the dock seems to be very busy. Every minute there are ships either returning or launching their voyages.
"This is the dock, please be ready to disembark."
Ordinary ships can still drive to the dock and disembark, but once the armed ship is launched, it means drifting for life. .
After receiving the news, five tenders used to carry passengers came over and carried crew members from the four major territories to the shore in batches.
When we arrived at the shore, five buses drove over at the same time. More than 200 people watched the whole process and were stunned.
“If I hadn’t witnessed all this with my own eyes, I would definitely have thought this was some idiot’s delusion!”
“How many people dare to believe this treatment, let’s go back to the territory to brag? "
"It's a pity that there is no Internet or mobile phone now, otherwise I would envy them to death if I posted it on Moments."
"Hey, this bus is so comfortable and has air conditioning. I'm numb, really numb!"
"What should I do, brothers, I suddenly have the urge to stay here."
"Stop talking, feel it!"
"."
More and more people were sitting on the large and thick seats, chirping and sighing.
Especially when the driver turned his head and gently reminded everyone to fasten their seat belts, the full sense of disobedience made people feel a big hole stuck in their throats, and they didn't know how to spit it out to make it comfortable.
Of course, this is just the beginning.
What happened next really pushed this sense of dissonance to its peak.
It is still more than ten kilometers away from the dock entrance to the territory, and the first section of the road is extremely bumpy.
But when the car drove onto the built road in the territory, a huge change immediately occurred.
Tire noise, wind noise, background noise.
In an instant, all the noise disappeared without a trace, as if entering a different dimension.
As we move further into the hinterland of the territory, the desolation begins to become more prosperous as the distance shortens.
The first thing to pass is Longteng Town.
When the violent roar sounded in their ears, everyone saw an extremely shocking scene through the glass.
I saw a huge transport vehicle, which was ten times larger than an ordinary bus, carrying a frigate and slowly heading towards the river.
In the dark wilderness, the carrier vehicle does not use tires, but extremely exaggerated tracks.
The tracks rolled over inch by inch, leaving deep black marks on the ground.
“Is it so violent?”
Many people took a breath and refreshed their understanding of Tianyuan territory.
However, as the bus approached Longteng Village, the newly formed understanding was overturned.
There are no rows of tall buildings, nor well-designed characteristic buildings.
Longteng Town looks so ordinary, just like a modern industrial area on Earth.
But it is this ordinaryness that reveals an unusual vitality.
Whether it is the tall chimneys spraying black smoke, the frequent transportation of vehicles back and forth like ants moving, and the exaggerated flow of people coming in and out near get off work hours, they all reflect the prosperity and vitality of this place.
It’s hard to imagine what it would be like to work and live here.
All the passengers in the bus kept swallowing their saliva and couldn't help but have random thoughts in their minds.
Especially Liu Zhi and the four of them, the purpose of their trip was to conduct a trading mission. The prosperous scene in front of them could not help but make them full of expectations and curiosity about the upcoming transaction.
Perhaps as long as some technology is brought back from the Tianyuan territory, it will be a completely reborn improvement for the Honghua Gang who are still struggling to survive.
“This is Longteng Village, our industrial zone.”
"There are still about seventy kilometers to reach our central town, Hope Town."
The bus passed the road sign, and the kind driver reminded him in time.
Everyone suddenly woke up. Such a huge industrial zone just now is only worthy of a village?
Then what size should this town be?
Not long after, when the bus began to enter Hope Town, everyone’s questions were answered.
"What the hell is this a town? My hometown county is not that big!"
"Is this really built on wasteland?"
"Here, here It’s so familiar, my God, look over there, isn’t that Su Shen’s refuge?”
“It smells so good. Damn, there’s a food court here, aren’t you kidding me?” ?”
“Not only does it have a food street, but there are also Chinese and Western restaurants, as well as barber shops, massage parlors, and milk tea shops”
"Nima, what the hell is this? If you say you are going back to Earth now, I will believe it."
The bus did not stop at the connection point at the entrance of the town, but drove straight to the main entrance, intending to cross The entire first-phase building drives towards the second-phase Central Hotel.
At this moment, the eyes of the passengers sitting by the window almost popped out.
With their imagination, it is indeed impossible to form this familiar yet unfamiliar scene in advance in their minds.
In this bustling neighborhood, every shop sign shines with charming light, and the interior has a familiar feeling that makes people cry.
In this friendly atmosphere, many people stood curiously on both sides of the road and looked at it. From time to time, someone waved and said hello, with a warm smile on their faces that was very unfamiliar to them.
This special atmosphere makes it feel like you are really going home!
