Data Wasteland

Half an hour later, a wide oil road appeared in front of him. Chen Xing stepped on the accelerator and the armed crickets soared to a speed of 150 kilometers per hour. The wind was so strong that people couldn't open their eyes. Chen Xing fumbled on the console, found the switch of the hood, and pulled it down.

"Kacha..."

With a soft noise, the hood lifted from the rear trunk, covering the vehicle. The inside of the car became a sealed space, the speed of the armed crickets increased again, and the pointer on the dial turned to 200 kilometers per hour.

After driving for a while, a spiral approach bridge appeared in the field of vision. Chen Xing slowed down, drove on the approach bridge, and entered the expressway. Above the entrance is a white sign on a green background, which reads: Section 1809 of the National Highway of the Ambergris River, United Kingdom.

The road has become more spacious, from a two-way four-lane to a two-way twelve-lane, which is three times wider.

"You have entered the national highway. The two lanes on the right are slow lanes. The speed limit is between 60 and 120 kilometers per hour. The middle three lanes are fast lanes. The speed limit is between 120 and 200 kilometers. Every hour, the left lane is the extreme speed lane, and the speed limit is not less than two hundred kilometers per hour..."

After driving on the highway, the on-board computer of the armed cricket automatically connected to the navigation network of the highway, and the female mechanically synthesized prompt sound came from the speaker.

"Om!"

Chen Xing entered the speed lane from right to left, and stepped on the accelerator directly to the end. The v12 engine made a huge roar, and the pointer soared to three hundred kilometers per hour. Unspeakable pleasure filled his head, as if every cell had electricity flowing through it.

Every man has a dream of racing, driving his passion in the roar of the engine and enjoying life at will. Chen Xing also likes drag racing, but the previous two lives were too poor and he had no chance to drive well. In the first life, I envy people driving Ferrari, Bentley, Jaguar, and BMW. In the second life, I envy others driving the Flyer, Blue Disc, Meteor Fire, and Land Shuttle. In the third life, I finally drove a sports car. But at any rate, it is equivalent to the BMW five series on earth, which is a small dream.

The national highway is brightly lit, and there is a street lamp of 20 meters high every 100 meters, and the viewing distance is extremely long. The neon billboards on both sides kept flashing, and the electronic road signs above turned up rows of bright green reminders, and the wasteland was completely two worlds.

This highway was invested and constructed by the Malan royal family. It was originally intended to run through most of the cities along the Ambergris River in the United Kingdom to strengthen the closeness of the kingdom. But in fact, most of the principalities are reluctant to express highways directly through the country, because this will lead to a decline in the independence of the territory. Therefore, the national highways are all sections and are mainly used for traffic between large cities within the principality.

Seeing that the plan went bankrupt, the Malan royal family also terminated subsequent investments.

The Red Dragon Principality has a large land area, occupying half of the northern wilderness, and its national strength is also ranked in the top five of the entire kingdom, but the infrastructure is very general, and the national expressway only completed the section of Crow City and Monitor Lizard City. The biggest reason is that the output of the wilderness is too small, and the environment is bad, and the maintenance cost of the road is too high to be worth the investment.

"Boom boom boom..."

Heavy container trucks passed by from the side, making a huge air friction sound. Chen Xing squeezed the steering wheel with both hands and drove attentively. At such high speeds, a small mistake can cause car crashes and deaths.

However, his perception of danger has brought him the talent of a super racer. As long as there is a little turbulence, he can sense it immediately and avoid danger.

After another half an hour, the endless green wheat field came into view. Whenever the wind blows, the waves of wheat pile up like the sea. This marks that he has entered the Ambergris River basin from the wasteland. There is plenty of water and the land is fertile. Looking around, there are many water towers and ditches.

Huge agricultural machinery stopped in the field. It is mid-April, and just over a month after planting, the wheat has grown to more than half a meter high. Scattered scarecrows in the fields drive away birds.

Chen Xing's speed is extremely fast, there are more and more billboards on both sides, and the neon lights are getting more and more dazzling. Turning a big bend, a brightly lit high-rise building appeared on the horizon.

Among the four major cities of the Red Dragon Principality, Dalingshan is a city of mining, Grayhorn City is a city of wilderness and industry, Dragon City is a city of war, and Crow City is a city of trade.

In the middle of the city, there is a skyscraper soaring into the sky. In the group of buildings, it seems to stand out from the crowd. That is the iconic building "Crow's Nest" in Crow City. It has a total of 333 floors and a height of more than 1,000 meters, including the lightning rod. It is the tallest building in the northern part of the Ambergris River, so it is also known as " Crow's Nest in the Cloud".

In fact, the location of Crow City is not good. Looking ahead, behind Crow City is the towering mountains-Red Rock Mountain Range.

From the map, it is a dead end. But the Red Rock Principality is inland, and the only estuary is the tributary next to Crow City, through which all merchant ships pass. And Crow City and River Sparrow Principality are separated by a river. Invisibly, Crow City became the trading center of the three principalities.

Under high-speed driving, Chen Xing quickly entered the boundary of Crow City. After getting off the national highway, we drove a section of the highway, and there was a fork in the front. A large LCD screen is erected in the middle, and there are electronic railings on both sides of the road.

[Hovering vehicle, please take the left channel and enter the city directly]

[Wheeled vehicles, please take the aisle on the right, park the vehicle and transfer to the subway or transportation bus to enter the city]

Chen Xing's armed crickets are wheeled vehicles, so naturally they can only use the right channel. The management of large cities is very strict. In order to protect the environment and urban sanitation, vehicles in the wilderness are not allowed to enter. Most of the vehicles in the wilderness are wheeled, because wheeled vehicles have the advantages of low cost, easy repair, and large load capacity, which can meet the needs of wilderness transportation.

Before coming here, he had already made an appointment with other people to meet in parking lot 59.

After a while, Chen Xing followed the instructions of the electronic road signs and parked the armed crickets into Parking Lot No. 59. There is a 24-hour convenience store at the entrance of the parking lot. Chen Xing bought a cup of coffee and sat on the rattan chair at the entrance to wait for others.

About two hours later, the other three people and the caravan's vehicles arrived in the parking lot one after another. Next, the four people packed the materials in the car, and the clerk at the convenience store called for a floating transport vehicle in the city.

The shape of the car is the same as the van on the earth, except that it has no wheels and is suspended in the air for half a meter. After loading things into the car, the middle-aged businessman also completed the formalities for entering the city of Chen Xing, Cassie, and Danny, and gave each of them a red electronic watch as a temporary identity. This kind of watch is called a "red watch". Its style is similar to that of a black watch, but its functions are quite different. It can only provide identification and some basic information inquiries.

"Sir, where are you going?" The driver turned his head and asked after getting on the city transport truck.

"Wilcotes Hotel." Chen Xing reported the location according to the memory of the previous life.

"Huh?" The driver frowned, thought for a while, and asked with some uncertainty, "Wilcotes Hotel, is there this place?"

Chen Xing suddenly remembered that at this point in time, the Wilcotes Hotel had not yet been completed, so he immediately changed his words, "Da Banyan Hotel."

"Okay, sir." The driver started the vehicle, the body slowly levitated, then turned out of the parking lot and drove towards the city.
