Lord of the Great Tribulation

Chapter 486 Steam
Dun Jun opened his eyes.

Outside the window, the triangular crimson moon has risen to the center, shining scarlet light.

He put on his old and shabby black overcoat and walked out of the narrow hut.

This is a slum area, with layers upon layers of gray cement lattice buildings like a honeycomb piled up continuously, becoming a giant like a walled city.

The place where Dun Jun lives is only six square meters in size, but the environment here is actually quite good.

The few friends he knew lived in the 'pigeon cages', which were coffins like iron cages, with an average living area of ​​just over one square meter.

More and more people came out of the walled city.

They seemed to be malnourished for a long time, causing their bodies to be thin, and their faces did not have much expression. They were like wooden moving corpses, converging into a long gray stream.

Rumble!
The ground trembled slightly, as if a long worm and ferocious beast rushed past, roaring with heat.

Dun Jun knew that it was not a beast, but a pipe through which part of the steam of the underground steam engine flowed.

The entire 'City of Steam' is built on a huge steam engine.

If the core steam engine is the heart of the entire city, then the continuous, high-temperature, high-pressure steam that is transported to various places through pipelines is the blood of the city!
The furnace will never go out, and the blood will never stop, supporting this city of survivors.

survivor!
This name has some different meanings. According to oral legends, they are a group of remnants. In an era that cannot be recorded in history, a terrible disaster occurred, which wiped out most of the land and sky. , only a small number of survivors survived, and the survivors are the descendants of those survivors.

Dun Jun didn't know how the world-ending disaster was born.

However, he knew that prehistoric civilization must be very powerful and advanced.

After all, the core power furnace of the city of steam was excavated from the remains of a prehistoric civilization.

That must be the place where the ancestors studied science and inspired wisdom.

Its name is - Victor Steam Power Museum!
Therefore, the City of Steam has also set up a 'museum' as a place for 'naturalists' to study their knowledge. It is a place where only the most knowledgeable people in the entire city can go. Only workers like Dun Jun who don't know a few words envy.

Following the flow of people, Dun Jun came to his factory.

His job is as simple as swinging a shovel and throwing shovel after shovel of coal into a huge opening.

The mouth of the furnace is like a monster that never knows how to be satisfied. No matter how it is filled, it will never be satisfied.

Shovel after shovel...

Dun Jun was sweating quickly, and his expression became more and more silent.

He still needs to work for eight red moon hours before he can go down to rest.

In the sky of this world, there will always be only one red triangular red moon. The moon never sets, and it provides the world with scarlet light.

Every day, it will be in the middle of the sky when there are twelve red moons, which is also the daytime in the minds of all the people of the city of steam.

At other times, it will mischievously appear randomly in the four directions of south, east, north and south. Perhaps only naturalists can figure out the law, but because the light of the red moon in the four directions will be weaker, it forms a theoretical night.

Dun Jun wiped his face, and there was a black stain on his face.

Bang!
Suddenly, there was a loud noise.

He paused, knowing that the steam pipe had exploded, and this kind of thing wasn't safe in the first place.

And if there is an unlucky egg nearby, the ultra-high temperature steam can even melt flesh and blood!
"What are you stopping for? Get to work!"

The overseer roared and roared.

All laborers continue to transport and dig coal numbly...

Their daily work can only be exchanged for two meals of suspicious black paste and a steam coin with a face value of one penny.

Of course, you can't expect to get married or anything.

But it doesn't matter, the population of the city of steam is still growing, and some animals from the wilderness request to join and be exploited.

Because in the wild, life is more dangerous and terrifying!
There are not only all kinds of beasts living there, but also inexplicable strange creatures, which may kill you if you are not careful!

And in the city of steam, there is at least the most basic 'safety'!
Although Dun Jun's expression was numb, there was a fire in his heart.

He knows that there is no future at all if this continues. Before the age of 30, he will definitely be eliminated due to various diseases, be kicked out of a rental building, and die by the side of the road.

'If you want to survive, if you want to get better...you must sign up for the 'Abyss Game'! '

The city of steam is divided into two districts, the upper district and the lower district.

The people of Uptown are well-dressed, have plenty of food, and enjoy themselves all day long.

People in the lower city are coolies like livestock, without any hope.

No, they still have one life to participate in the abyss game!
Although the death rate of this kind of selection is extremely high, there are indeed one or two lucky people who can succeed in each session, enter the upper city and become a master.

This is also the only hope for the lower classes!
Although the population of the lower city is dozens of times larger than that of the upper city, it is impossible for the riot to succeed.

The people of Uptown wield fearsome weapons, and even wield weird and extraordinary powers themselves!

According to the rumors... the abyss game is the way to obtain extraordinary abilities!

Dun Jun clenched his fists. After the work was over, he got the wages of the day, came to the supervisor, took out a handful of iron coins, and said expressionlessly: "This is one yuan...I signed up...to participate in the 'Abyss' '!"

……

'This kid... has a lot of bad luck. Is he considered a character on the stage of the times? '

Fang Xian watched all this from the perspective of "Dreamland".

Although his body is close to deep sleep, part of his spirit can still pass through Dreamland, barely break through the abyss, and observe the outside world.

Although the time and scope are limited, this is already the limit of Dreamland.

At this moment, Fang Xian felt like an evil god who was exiled from the world.

Only through various efforts and attempts can we occasionally catch a glimpse of this world.

The previous few breakthroughs were just wilderness and no man's land.

It was only recently that I finally located the City of Steam.

And the changes here left Fang Xian dumbfounded.

The interstellar civilization has completely disappeared, leaving only human beings struggling to survive on a dark continent.

This change is really too huge and weird.

If he hadn't carefully checked the coordinates, he might even have the idea that he traveled to the wrong world.
