Chapter 310 The Old Scenery of Linjiang
"Linjiang."
Looking at the Jiulai River in the distance, winding through the city, Song Shi stopped and said, "We're here."
At this moment, on an undeveloped mountain peak, Song Shi overlooked the undulating outline in the distance.
Linjiang City is far from prosperous. At a glance, there are only a few private shuttles flying among the high-rise buildings. It is far from being compared with the abnormally developed transportation industry in the corporate alliance. .
At least here, it is difficult to see shuttles flying fiercely over the streets in broad daylight, with firepower exchanging blows.
Ai Lu did not speak, but carefully observed the nearby mountains and cliffs, trying to find a hiding spot suitable for assassination.
"Linjiang City, it is now eight seventeen minutes and fifty-four seconds." Lapis Lazuli said: "Do you want to stay and rest for one night, or go directly to the target location?"
"Do you know where I'm going?" Song Shi didn't look back.
“No, I don’t know.” Lapis Lazuli replied: “But there is data analysis and it is speculated that you came to Jiang City to go to a certain place.”
Song Shi laughed twice and was noncommittal.
He just took two steps forward, crossed the edge of the stone cliff, stepped out, and fell suddenly.
Seeing this, Lapis Lazuli and Ai Lu quickly followed. One jumped down and the other floated down at a constant speed, following the young man towards the city.
The speed of the three was not slow. In less than an hour, they officially entered Linjiang City.
The senses gained from close personal contact are far richer than those viewed from a height.
The bumpy streets, rusty signboards, vehicles covered with dust that have obviously been parked for who knows how long, and residential areas that are randomly squeezed together as if they were squeezed by big hands, the cramped space under the dense arrangement, the sunlight must be It took a lot of effort to get a few strands through.
“It’s so run-down.” Ai Lu told the truth.
“There is no way, this place was originally a small village by the Gurai River. However, during the Seven-Soil War, this area served as the front line for a while, so the East Rift Republic ordered the engineering team to come on site Raise tall buildings and build a city by force."
Song Shi stopped and motioned to look under the tree over there.
There lay a group of dark green things the size of an adult buffalo. If you look closely, you can see that those "green" things are clearly vines that have existed for countless years, and the things they are wrapped around are vaguely rusty. mechanical structure.
"Troop-carrying chariot." Lapis Lazuli scanned it: "A very old model, with backward technology, and more than 78% of the main structure is missing."
"After the Seven-Earth War, there is one left here. A lot of unwanted ordnance, like this kind of troop-carrying tank, in those days, a lot of people would beat their brains out. The dismantled equipment could be sold for money, and the parts that were pried off were not cheap, even the armor plates were cut. Later, they were welded on the prosthetic body as protective modules, and some were collected by people.”
“Once they were dismantled, no one took away the remaining parts, so they just left them here. Over time, they became like this. ”
As Song Shi spoke, he suddenly became excited: “What do you think is the most exaggerated thing here?”
He gave the answer directly without waiting for an answer.
"On the square in front of the city hall, there is an armor plate - the armor plate of the Space Carrier!"
Song Shi opened his hand and gestured: "During the Seven-Earth War, the Eastern Continent Republic went up It was here that the space carrier of the first generation, the Chakravartin, was struck from a distance by a knight leader of the Vampusta Empire and a fifth-ring psyker, and the armor layer was destroyed on the spot. The largest one among them One piece fell into the Jiulai River. When the war was over, the armor plate was salvaged and simply used as a souvenir. "
"The performance of the previous generation is indeed lagging behind." Lapis Lazuli briefly searched the information and made a judgment: "No wonder it was hit through the armor layer, not as good as the Groden Glory."
".Is this the point?"
Song Shi sighed deeply.
"In short, after the war, this place had neither resources nor foundation. Except for a bunch of heavy and durable buildings, the rest should be evacuated or moved. Linjiang quickly declined." "Let's go, look for it first. "
Lapis Lazuli and Ai Lu followed Song Shi, and saw the latter making twists and turns, walking through the streets and alleys, and finally stopped at the entrance of an alley. , in front of a restaurant with half-open facade.
Song Shi knocked on the window. After a few seconds, a middle-aged man's head popped out from behind the window. He glanced at the two people standing outside: "It's time, no more sales. "Look what time it is now?"
"I'm really sorry to bother you so late." Song Shi clasped his hands together and said sincerely: "We are from out of town and have long heard that there is one in Linjiang. Master Sun, making crucian carp soup is a masterpiece. We will only stop for one day. Could you please be accommodating? ”
With that said, Song Shi took out a few silver coupons and handed them over.
Hearing such compliments, and the most important thing was seeing the silver coupons, the middle-aged man named "Master Sun" suddenly beamed, but suddenly remembered something, and he hesitated: "Fresh goods" They were all sold out during the day, and now we can’t kill them. Can you accept that?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
So, the half-opened door of the store was raised, the dim light was turned on, and the stove was turned on. After re-lighting the fire, Song Shi and Ai Lu sat at the round table covered with red plastic cloth. Within a moment, Master Sun brought a large basin of crucian carp soup and put it down heavily.
"There's nothing left, you eat first. I'll make two small stir-fried dishes for you." Master Sun patted his apron and said, "No charge, just treat it as a gift from me."
"Sorry to trouble you."
Song Shi nodded towards the other party, and then took apart the chopsticks: "Try it, there will be no development without prosperity, so the food raw materials are relatively intact, and it is one of the few in Linjiang. It’s an advantage.”
In the stainless steel basin, large pieces of tofu and fish were crowded together, rising and falling in the oily, milky fish soup. Song Shi had no expression and just drank. After a while, Several plates of stir-fried dishes were also served.
Ai Lu was taciturn, Song Shi didn't speak, and he didn't speak either. Lapis Lazuli, as an omnic, was not suitable for speaking.
So for a while there was only the sound of ladles scooping soup. The two of them ate bowl after bowl in silence until they finished everything. After thanking Master Sun, they went out and passed. After a while, a new voice suddenly sounded.
"How do you feel?"
Song Shi asked.
"It's quite delicious." Ai Lumiao replied: "I didn't take any addictive substances, he was operating with integrity."
"My question, I shouldn't ask you ." Song Shi clicked his tongue.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the silver outline in the sky. The neon light pollution along the river was not serious. The outline of the setting moon was clear, and the nearby starry sky was also quite brilliant.
"I think it's normal." Song Shi stared at Xiyue: "Sure enough, some things should be kept in memory, otherwise every time they are taken out, they will only intensify the oxidation and corrode into a mess."
Song Shi shook his head and said nothing more.
Under the night, they walked through the quiet streets until at a certain moment, they stopped.
"You guys, just wait here for me for a while."
Song Shi touched the rusty noticeboard. There were seven big characters on it, and most of the paint had already peeled off.
——The Third Welfare Institute of Linjiang City.
"I'm going to confirm something." Song Shi pushed open the iron door: "Don't worry, it won't be long."
