Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord
Chapter 407 Central Station
Just as the sky was getting light, Barron's apartment door was knocked. He jumped up from the bed and subconsciously reached out to touch the coat hanging on the hanger at the head of the bed.
He stretched out his hand halfway when he suddenly remembered that from today on, he no longer needed to go to the People's Theater to rehearse and perform on time.
Two weeks ago, Barron had officially resigned from the leading role of the troupe, and there were two work scheduling documents of the same material on the bedside at this moment - one was the transfer approval from Mr. Ash Lambert, the Minister of Culture, and the other was the new position transfer order issued by the Central City Hall of the territory.
The outer wall of the apartment building on the third floor was built very solid and thick, blocking out the coldest cold air in late winter. The thick copper pipes half exposed in the wall continuously covered the entire room with warmth.
The desert doesn’t feel warm for about half of the year. For most local residents who are used to a hard life, it is hard to have such a house that is not leaky. Except... it is a little small, just enough for a single man like Barron to live in. He is even embarrassed to invite friends to visit, such as Miss Natalie Mills.
Barron opened the door reluctantly, and standing outside was his new colleague Ross, whom he had just met a few days ago. He introduced himself as coming from Fengyuan City in the southern border. It is said that the place has just been included in the jurisdiction of the Lord. He didn’t expect that residents would move here so soon.
"Hi! Ross." Barron turned sideways to let the visitor in, but found that the other party was standing at the door motionless, "Come in and talk, it's too cold outside."
The thin and tall Ross frowned and said, "Why did you get up just now? Hurry up and take your luggage and go to the central station with me. You didn't pack your things last night, did you?"
Barron turned around and pointed at the suitcase that had been packed and placed by the door, wondering, "It's already packed. According to the instructions on the transfer order... shouldn't we leave in the afternoon?"
Ross rolled his eyes, bent down to pick up the heavy suitcase for his half-orc colleague, and urged helplessly, "Hurry up and put on your clothes, don't forget to bring your ID and work documents! You don't ask around... The central station is surrounded by people, and if you go too late, you may not even be able to squeeze into the car!"
Barron came to his senses with a start, returned to the bedroom to put on a thick coat, neatly stuffed all the documents and materials into the inner pocket of the clothes, and hurriedly walked with Ross to the east gate of the territory - the newly built central station is located next to the east gate.
When the two of them walked to the east gate of the territory for half an hour, they found that it was indeed crowded with people. A large number of heavily dressed residents gathered near the city wall and kept moving through the city gate to go out of the territory.
"This... so many people?" Barron was stunned. "I remember that the recruitment notice of Dongtuo clearly stated that only 2,000 local official residents would be recruited?"
Rose sighed, pointed at many people who were empty-handed and without luggage, and guessed: "It's a train... They are here to watch the magic-powered train that the lord personally built and can run at high speed on the rails."
Barron looked at the sky that had completely brightened. Now he finally understood why Ross urged him to come to the central station in advance. It would probably take them several hours just to queue up and squeeze in with the crowd.
…
The entire central station built along the edge of the territory's city wall covers a very large area. Two crisscrossing rails pass through the huge station and extend straight out in the four directions of east, west, south and north. However, only the tracks in the southeast direction are obviously completed. The two sides are simply fenced off with dense wooden stakes and ropes to prevent people from accidentally entering the tracks.
There are more than a dozen row compartments built opposite the central station, each with a conspicuous sign for ticket sales and ticket inspection, but it is not officially open to traffic at the moment, and there is obviously no staff on duty in the ticket sales and ticket inspection compartments.
It was almost noon when Ross and Barron reached the ticket sales and ticket inspection compartments of the central station with sweat on their heads. Just as they were about to take out their work transfer documents from their arms, they turned their heads and saw a huge sign erected on one side of the huge station hall.
"The Pioneer Territory East Expansion Plan... Recruitment Registration Office." While Barron was still squinting to identify the pronunciation of the characters, Ross recognized the content on the sign in almost a second and dragged Barron to that place.
Many people carrying large luggage like them were also waiting in line under the sign. The uniform style was obviously the staff of the City Hall carefully checked the identity and work documents of the two people before leading them to the platform.
The magic power train lying quietly on the long rails immediately shocked the group of passengers who were about to board it to the Eastern Basin. In addition to the huge front of the train with a heavy mechanical beauty, it actually mounted ten huge carriages in a row behind it, with the same mechanical chassis, metal frame and iron sheet, and the top was tightly covered with tarpaulin, forming a whole closed carriage style.
"Ross, are we the first subjects to ride this new thing?" Barron looked at the huge black metal train on the platform. No matter how he looked at it, it looked like a string of war beast vehicles.
The city hall staff in charge of leading them on the bus explained with a smile: "There are two trains to the eastern basin. One train has been sent out before you come, with a load of nearly 500 people!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two people jumped off the front of the car in the distance and waved quickly to everyone who was not daring to move their steps, "Don't be too slow, the time is over, let's arrange this group of people to board the car!"
Barron and Ross held the luggage in their hands tightly, carefully identified it before finding the carriage marked No. 7 as on their ticket, and carefully boarded the train with the abortion team.
"There are actually seats!" Barron said in surprise. Although it was just a few rows of wooden long seats that were simply fixed in the car, at least it didn't have to sit on the cold iron floor. The windows on both sides were covered with tarp, as long as it was not If you open it actively, you won't feel too cold.
Soon, three huge whistle sounds came from the front of the car, and then the car suddenly began to vibrate regularly. The clanging sound of wheels and rails rubbing from the soles of their feet. Everyone sitting in the car immediately felt The body swayed as well.
The train is on!
Everyone lifted the tarp in the car window beside them and looked out, and found that all the scenes outside were slowly retreating, and the speed was getting faster and faster... The train drove out of the Central Station.
The leaders watching outside the station saw the train exit again, and began to cheer loudly, waving their hands to say goodbye to the passengers on the train.
Barron also lay on the car window and waved his hand for a while. After the train drove away, he sat down with unfulfilled satisfaction.
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
"I don't know how long it will take for us to reach the eastern basin..."
Ross carefully looked out the work documents and checked them before answering, "The document says we will arrive at our destination tomorrow at noon, but there is a train stop in the middle of the journey, and we will probably spend the night there tonight..."
Barron then remembered and asked curiously: "Ross, you have just arrived in the territory for less than a month. How did you get your official resident status? Why did you take the initiative to apply to go to the eastern region to pioneer?"
Ross gave him a blank look and did not answer.
When Lord Lord brought him from Fengyuan City to the wasteland, he had already given him the answer he wanted.
"Do you want to know why my territory is so prosperous and prosperous? Follow my people to explore and progress, and you can personally experience the changes and differences..."
