Chapter 479 The Earth Is Expanding

Green shade, station.

In the maintenance area, several trains are parked.

The outer armor was stained with dried and solidified colorful liquid, the connection between the carriages, the armor gap, etc., and some pieces of minced meat were stuck, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell.

This is already cleaned.

Every evening when the train returns to the green shade, the crew maintenance personnel have to start repairing the damaged areas on the train.

At the same time, the armor of the train was cleaned. Some of the demonized beasts that were wrapped in the train were not completely cool, and the train guards slaughtered them.

Five days have passed since the Sanctuary Incident, and the number of people pouring into the green shade from the Sanctuary space began to slow down, and the green-horizontal line resumed two shifts a day.

In this way, every time the train is damaged, the train is inevitably damaged. If it is not maintained frequently, the small damage will accumulate into a large damage, which will affect the performance of the train. At the critical moment, it is likely to cause the car to crash and die.

No one dared to take it lightly, and sometimes the repairs continued from the evening to the next morning.

At four or five o'clock, the sky is still dark, and the vast darkness of the wilderness in the distance makes people panic.

The source lamp of the train station, the lights are bright.

Zhao Ming greeted the comrades who were on duty at the train station, took the other five team members, walked out of the train station, went straight along the railway tracks, and crossed the outer area of ​​the city. on.

The icy cold wind blew through, with the icy cold that went straight to the bone marrow.

The weakest, only the one who awakened the third level, shook his head, tightly wrapped the coat around him, and exhaled a turbid heat.

Zhao Ming's faces remained the same. They were wearing tight combat uniforms and only a jacket. They looked thin, but for the five who had already tempered their bodies, it was enough.

They are the Railroad Overhaul Squad.

Zhao Ming's five people are from the garrison corps, they belong to the first-line masters, and their strengths range from seventh to ninth. Going along the railway, there is a distance of one to two hundred kilometers, and there will be some third- and fourth-level dangerous areas on the way, so the force configuration of the maintenance team is relatively high to ensure that there are no accidents.

The other person is an awakened person from the railway department, a "professional" in the maintenance team.

Within ten kilometers of the sanctuary, it is basically equivalent to a safe area, and demonized beasts have already been hunted into protected animals.

When the distance is getting farther and deeper into the area where the awakened people are less active, the number of demonized beasts suddenly increases.

puff-

Zhao Ming slashed the head of the demonized beast with one sword, cut open the skull to get the source crystal, and kicked the corpse away from the rail with another kick.

The tactical helmet he wears is like a miner's hat, with a source lamp that can adjust the power. .

It was not the first time that they had received this task for railway maintenance. Zhao Ming took the lead, the two team members stood on the flanks, and the other two were in the rear, maintaining a speed that was neither too fast nor too slow.

The professional maintenance personnel rode a wolf-like puppet in the center of the team. The flashlight beam shone on the rails, and the broken pieces of meat after the demonized beast was run over by the train were clearly visible.

As time passed, ray of dawn began to appear on the horizon.

There was a sound of bang bang from the front, and an earth wall appeared in the field of vision of several people.

This is an outpost under construction, close to the railway line. After it is completed, it can be used for the Awakened to settle down, supply supplies, and better clean up the surrounding demonized beasts. In the future, a "green shade defense circle" will be built. This outpost can also be used. Changed to a transfer station and continued to function.

After the outpost, the journey is about half way through.

Zhao Ming and the others moved forward while calculating the time.

The demonized beasts generally don't do anything on the rails, but occasionally they will be crushed by some violent tempers. At this time, they need to stop for maintenance. Fortunately, the skilled experience before the end of the world cooperates with some general spells developed by the "Magic Research Institute". , and the corresponding props, most of the small problems can be easily solved.

"Team Zhao, there's something wrong with the rails ahead."

The maintenance staff, who had been staring at it, discovered the problem at the first time.

A few people walked forward more than ten meters and came to the problem area. They saw that the rail had been broken, and the break was not smooth.

It's a rather serious problem.

Today's trains on this line need to be delayed.

Zhao Ming frowned, took out the mental power communication crystal (child), and reported the situation to the shelter. He lamented that the morning vacation would definitely be in vain, and he had to concentrate on observing the broken rails.

"This broken mark does not look like it was bitten by a demonized beast, nor is it a trace of being trampled or destroyed by sharp claws, but rather like it was forcibly torn off by a huge force."

He thought, looking around warily.

The rails are infiltrated with special metals, the hardness and toughness can reach the level of D-grade alloys, and the damage is not difficult, but if it is pulled and broken... Zhao Ming does not know whether he has such strength.

But then it felt wrong.

If pulled by a giant force, the rails on both sides of the fractured zone should be scattered in a serpentine shape, but in fact, the crossbars below the rails are still intact, and the crossbars and sandstones are a little scattered in the broken section.

It made Zhao Ming confused.

...

The matter was first reported to the Ministry of Railways.

After some investigation, it was reported to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs. After Chen Haiping learned about it, it spread to Tang Yu's ears.

There were three broken rails on the Luyin-Huiyang line.

look alike.

However, it is not just this line. Similar situations have also occurred in several other lines. Even the green-lin line with the highest security level, it is reasonable to say that there are very few demonized beasts active in this area. Two or three abyss cracks around have been suppressed.

However, there is still a fracture zone.

Make him have to pay attention.

One of the fault zones is located within the territory.

Tang Yu was able to study it meticulously, and soon came up with a conjecture: "The land under our feet is constantly expanding, so...the rails will be pulled and broken?"

In other words, is the earth expanding?

The origin star in its heyday was very huge. Tang Yu studied it and believed that part of the space was folded up and shrunk due to silence. Now, with the recovery of Origin Qi, the Origin Star is gradually moving closer to the past.

Should be a good thing.

With the opening of the Holy City that day, the concentration of the Earth's Origin Qi rose again.

If the source energy concentration of an ordinary planet is 1, then when the end of the world just broke out, the source energy concentration will be around 2.5, and it has continued to increase since then, about 7 or 8. In recent days, it has reached the level of 11 and 12.

The elf that was sleeping before will gradually wake up.

Tang Yu had already pinpointed some places where elves might appear. From time to time, he sent a survey corps to wander around, looking forward to abducting one or two more elves and anchoring them in the territory.

Some rare materials may gradually appear on the earth in the future.

It's just that the earth is expanding, and inspections such as railroad tracks, city walls, etc., must be stepped up.

...

The train was delayed until eleven o'clock and finally departed.

The impact is not huge.

Unlike a few days ago, the train is no longer as crowded as canned sardines. Most of the people who took the train to other places were senior adventurers who had received commissions. Inside the shelter, no going out.

They all carried a lot of source crystals in their pockets, bought a suit of rune equipment, went to the martial arts hall to listen to an open class, entered the training camp to practice, fight... They never got tired of it, and felt that they were getting stronger every day.

Perhaps after they emptied the source crystal in their pockets, their strength was also improved and they fell into a bottleneck, and then they suddenly entered the earning mode... and were harvested again.

But they are also happy.

(There was a dinner party in the evening, so the author's bacteria wilted again...)
