The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The train from Badisha to the southern holy mountain is an old-fashioned steam locomotive more than a hundred years ago. This locomotive is twice the size and speed of the common locomotives in the Vinylon world today, and has an extra steam cylinder. In order to be able to withstand Living up to the weight of this old-fashioned steam locomotive, this locomotive uses a four-track railway, and each track is larger and thicker than the normal track outside.

At the beginning, it was because this steam locomotive was too bulky and the driving speed was not fast, so a smaller and stronger locomotive was developed.

However, this disadvantage in the eyes of others has become an advantage in the wilderness of Mozambique, and it is also the main reason why this railway and even other railways in the wilderness still use this kind of locomotive and four-track railway.

Although the speed of this kind of locomotive is slow, the pulling force is very strong. It can pull 150 trains of the largest carriages and trailers full of various goods. This record has not been broken by any locomotive until now. Even Half of the records cannot be broken.

The other is that this kind of locomotive is very strong. After more than a hundred years, it is still in good condition and has minimal failure. It has three sets of linkage systems. As long as the cylinder is not damaged, even if one linkage system fails, it will not affect the use. What's more, the front section of the locomotive is also equipped with an ax-shaped impact hammer specially used to break through objects blocking the way. This unique equipment can make the train run unimpeded in places full of various dangers like the wasteland.

Now most of these trains are used to pull ore, wood and other valuable things produced in the wilderness. There are no dedicated passenger carriages. Passenger transportation can make up for it, so most of them are improved passenger carriages with two open-air trailer carriages at the end of the train to transport a small number of passengers. Naturally, such carriages are not comfortable, and because they are Because of the open air, rainy days can only be exposed to rain. If it is okay in the upper compartment, if it is in the lower compartment, then it can only be the sewage flowing down from Lin.

Naturally, Sylvia and Leo would not be willing to squeeze into the open-air passenger compartments at the back. They paid some money and sat in the driver's rest compartment behind the locomotive, although half of the compartments here are used to hold charcoal as fuel Yes, the environment is not very good, but at least there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, which is not bad for people like Leo and Silvia who are used to living in the wind and sleeping in the open.

There are a total of 17 stops on the route of this train, including Badisha and Southern Holy Mountain, but except for the two top stations of Badisha and Southern Holy Mountain, the train will not stop in the middle. It will not stop even after passing the station.

It's just that they will slow down the speed of the train as much as possible at the station. Passengers who get off can jump directly into the haystacks specially provided on both sides of the station without being injured. Get on the platform, grab the handle of the slow-moving car and jump aboard.

Under normal circumstances, there will be no accidents when getting on and off the train. After all, if the people who survived the wasteland did not have agility, they would have been buried in the belly of the beast, and those who rolled into the wheels of the train due to some unexpected accidents The unlucky ones can only blame their bad luck.

"Damn the weather, I hope there will be nothing wrong with the heavy rain." The train driver who was changing shift cursed and sat by the stove while shaking off the rainwater from his body. He didn't care about Leo and Hill who were sitting opposite. Via directly picked up a piece of sweet potato that was baking on the stove and ate it.

"Is it easy to have accidents in this kind of weather?" Leo looked at the storm outside the carriage and asked with a frown.

If there are traces of the unpredictable weather in the ocean, then the weather changes in the wilderness are completely irregular. Ten minutes ago, the weather was sunny, quiet and peaceful, but now it suddenly turned into a downpour , The wind is raging.

Each of the trees on both sides of the railway is 50 meters high, and the trunk needs eight or nine people to embrace it. It seems that such a thick and tall tree has been blown down in the strong wind. Even the leaves on the tree were blown away, leaving only bare branches and trunks.

"Of course accidents are easy, but it doesn't matter..." The driver stretched out his hand and patted the compartment, and said, "This guy is strong, even if something happens ahead, it can be easily resolved."

Perhaps to prove the driver's words, after the train passed a turning point, several huge trees collapsed and overlapped each other, pressing on the railway track.

Facing the trees blocking the road, the driver in the cockpit shook the warning pull rope to notify the people behind the train, and quickly shoveled a few shovels of fuel into the boiler, accelerated the speed, and headed towards the road blocking the road. Fallen trees crashed past.

I only heard a loud noise from the front of the train, and the car body shook slightly, and then I saw the tree trunks that had been knocked into two sections flying into the jungle on both sides of the railway, causing quite a commotion.

"How about it, it's amazing! This guy directly hit and killed a mutated monster blocking the road. That monster is very huge, just like Xiaoshan, but it was still crushed half of its body by our big guy." The driver said extremely Said proudly.

"Are there many mutant monsters encountered on the road?" Leo asked again.

"Many!" The driver took out an iron wine jug from the small cabinet next to it, opened the lid, poured a glass, and then signaled to Leo. Seeing that Leo didn't want it, he was about to put it back, but in the end it was stuffed. In his own pocket, he continued: "I have just left the edge of the city now, because the hunters in the city regularly clean up the surrounding monsters, and there are not many of them. After a while, when they go deep into the wasteland, there will be more monsters. Those guys in the wilderness, those guys know the power of the train, and they will avoid it when they hear the noise, but those monsters will directly crash into the train. At that time, you just need to sit in the carriage and you will be fine. Don’t stretch your body out of curiosity. go out."

Perhaps to prove the driver's words, after the train got into a jungle, some mutated monsters rushed out of the jungle one after another, crashing into the car behind which was full of goods.

Although the impact of these monsters was very powerful, and even shook the train, but facing the thickened armor at both ends of the train and the weight of the train itself, their impact strength was obviously not enough, and the armor was hit with the impact. The barb mechanism that popped out with force easily tore their bodies apart. Some of them may not have died, but they have completely lost their fighting power. There will be some predators in the jungle to finish them off.

On the subsequent road, the number of monster impacts encountered also increased, so much that the driver became nervous and lost the mood to talk to Leo, and even went to the locomotive before it was time to change shifts. In the driver's cab, although the explanation to Leo and the others was that they were worried that one person in the driver's cab would be too busy, in fact, they should think that the driver's cab was safer. If something happens to the carriage, the locomotive can still disconnect and escape alone.

Just after the driver left, Sylvia, who hadn't spoken a moment ago, suddenly said, "I feel the breath of the abyss."

"The breath of the abyss?" Leo was stunned, and carefully felt the energy fluctuations around him.

However, the energy generated by the weather outside was too frenzied, and he couldn't sense more specific energy details at all.

It's just that Leo didn't doubt Sylvia's perception. Having fully grasped the power of the abyssal dragon's bloodline, she can be regarded as a half-abyssal creature, so she is naturally very sensitive to the power of the abyss.

Sylvia stood up from her seat at this time, walked outside the cabin, on the small platform at the junction of the two carriages, then looked up at the pitch-black sky with lightning streaking across it, and said, "The source is in the clouds. "

Hearing this, Leo also came out and looked up, but this time he used his spiritual vision and activated the power of the Eye of Reality. His extraordinary vision also made it easy for him to see the situation inside the dark cloud.

I saw two huge monsters fighting inside the dark cloud. One monster, Leo, had encountered it before, that is, the skeleton butterfly injured by him. The other monster, Leo, didn't know him, although the shape looked a bit enlarged. It is dozens of times larger than a bird, but the body covered with pustules and black oily matter is obviously very different from any bird's body.

The breath of the abyss is definitely not emanating from the bone butterfly. Leo, who had fought head-on with the bone butterfly, knew exactly what the energy fluctuations emitted by the bone butterfly were, and the other monster was undoubtedly a mutant monster. It seems that this is the first time I have seen the breath of abyssal power.

"Do you know what that is?" Leo asked.

"I don't know!" Sylvia shook her head and said, "But being able to fight the bone butterfly head-on, obviously this monster should also be a disaster-level strategic monster." She turned her head and looked around. A jungle of mutated monsters emerged, saying: "The power generated by their battles has been integrated into the rainwater, and the rainwater has stimulated the mutation of creatures. If we don't stop it, I'm afraid there will be a wave of monsters here in a short time."

"Well! Let me do it!" Leo heard the words, didn't say much, turned around and jumped on the train carriage, and walked a distance to the rear carriage, and came to the train carriage full of logs. above a pile of logs.

With the appearance of Leo, some monsters seemed to regard Leo as a prey, trying to rush up and eat Leo, but unfortunately their strength was obviously not enough, not only could not shake the moving carriage, even the collapsed outer layer of the carriage could not move. Even the hook armor plates were unable to resist, and they were all torn apart without exception.

Although the surrounding armor plates can withstand the impact of monsters, Leo did not take it lightly. He still carefully took out a few rune traps, activated them, and threw them to various places around him to prevent mutant monsters from rushing into the carriage.

After completing the protective arrangement, Leo began to use the soul crystallization gun, because he needed to enhance the strength of the soul crystallization gun to reach the strategic level of psionic skills, and he was a little unskilled in using it, so it took a period of time to charge up.

The reason why he didn't use the more proficient and effective thunder gun was that the use of psionic skills became much more difficult because of the influence of the wilderness on psionic energy, and the soul crystallization gun could be used with other powers, the more important thing was that he I have tried thunder guns to attack bone butterflies before.

He knows very well that although the Thunder Gun can hurt a monster as strong as the Skeleton Butterfly, it is not enough to cause fatal damage to it. After being attacked by the Thunder Gun, it can still escape a long enough distance, so this time he wants to Try the power of upgrading the soul crystal gun to a strategic level psionic skill.

As he continued to push his power to operate in the form of the spell module of the soul crystal gun, two dark purple crystals that looked very deep gradually appeared in the palms of his hands.

These two crystals are suspended in the palm of Leo's palm, and they rotate continuously. Every time they rotate, the volume increases by one part, and there is an extra crystal edge that protrudes outward on the surface.

When the crystal grew to the size equivalent to half of Leo's body, the surface of the crystal became like two maces, full of spike-like crystal edges of various sizes, but this seemingly ferocious shape It doesn't make people feel frightened, on the contrary, each crystal edge emits a different colorful light, which makes the whole soul crystal gun look very gorgeous, and anyone who sees it has a feeling that their soul will be trapped in it.

Feeling that the soul crystallization gun was almost fully charged, Leo took aim at the two monsters fighting in the sky, and swung the soul crystallization gun towards them.

The two soul crystallization guns shot out of their hands in an instant, rushing into the sky like two sharp arrows off the string, and while flying, some crystallizations like debris were constantly stripped from its body and scattered in the air, forming A pair of star-like ponytail looks extremely beautiful.

Those crystal debris are not only good-looking, but also like the propelling flame at the end of a rocket, constantly accelerating the speed of the soul crystallization gun. In less than ten breaths, the two soul crystallization guns have rushed into the space. When they reached the airspace of the two warring parties, before the two monsters could react, they directly plunged into the bodies of the two monsters.

The mention of these two soul crystallization guns is just like toothpicks to two monsters as huge as a hill, but the power contained in the crystallization guns is far from being measurable by size. The power in the gun burst out instantly.

The two monsters who were still fighting to the death a moment ago seemed to be frozen, motionless, and then the monster's body crystallized at an extremely fast speed from the inside to the outside, and within a few breaths, it was completely It turned into two crystalline monsters, and then shattered into countless crystalline shards under the bombardment of several lightning bolts in the dark cloud. The light formed by these crystalline shards illuminated the entire dark cloud into various colors, like a miracle.
