Journey to the witch world

Da da da!

The energy-condensed bullets sprayed on the ground like blue flames. Zombies followed one after another, and were blown to pieces by the mecha's firepower. The off-road vehicle made a roar and continued to move forward.

In the passenger seat, Melissa looked pale.

There was also a trace of fear in Uriah's eyes, but he suppressed it and did not show it. He had long known that the road leaving the garbage dump would be full of dangers, but he was still a little surprised by the number of zombies that appeared in front of him.

"Don't worry, Uriah."

Enzo's voice came from the sky, saying calmly, "As long as I provide fire cover for you, it is impossible for these zombies to get close. In a few hours, we will arrive at the Twisted Forest."

Uriah's face softened slightly, but her spirit was still tense.

The off-road vehicle continued to drive on the rugged road, surrounded by mutant beasts and zombies, like sharks smelling blood, rushing over one after another, but without exception, they were all bombarded by the firepower of the Red Bee mecha.

A few hours later, the Red Bee mecha landed on the ground.

At this time, the off-road vehicle also stopped moving forward. Uriah jumped off the driver's seat and looked at the black forest in the distance, unable to help but feel a trace of fear on his face.

"This is the Twisted Forest."

There was a hint of complexity in Melissa's eyes. The last time she came to the trading point of the Twisted Forest was many years ago when she was newly married to her husband. But now, everything has changed, and even the floating city that is her home has fallen. earth.

"Is the trading point here?" Enzo asked.

"Yes, it's in the underground city under the Twisted Forest." Melissa nodded and said, "In the early days of the doomsday, there was originally a large shelter there, and there were even troops stationed there, but then as the situation became more and more Due to the harsh environment and the launch of the floating city plan, most of the survivors chose to go to the sky."

Uriah's eyes flickered, and a trace of yearning arose in her heart.

In the doomsday wasteland, the floating city seems to represent paradise, where people do not need to be exposed to the threat of radiation at all times, and there is never a lack of food, or even the need to fight. Many people can live until they die naturally.

"In that case, let's go in." Enzo drove the mecha and rushed into the forest.

Uriah got on the off-road vehicle and followed closely behind. There was a dark and twisted forest, surrounded by large trees with tangled roots. It seemed that they had been contaminated by radiation for a long time, and the plants here had mutated.

Driving in a forest full of vines, Uriah's face turned slightly pale, and strange sounds kept coming from her ears. The big black trees were waving their dry branches, like the devil's minions.

call!

Enzo drove the mecha forward, a spiral flamethrower appeared on his chest, and scorching flames swept ahead, clearing away all obstacles so that the off-road vehicle could return to its normal form.

"Who is it, stop!"

Suddenly, a cold mechanical voice sounded, and not far away, a tank-like object appeared among the hidden branches. The metal barrel was pointed forward, and it seemed that it could blast the off-road vehicle to pieces at any time.

"Don't get me wrong, we are survivors of the dump."

Uriah quickly jumped out of the car and waved to show that he meant no harm. Feeling the threat of the tank, he took a deep breath and said, "I heard that there is a trading point in the Twisted Forest, so we want to exchange something."

"Survivors of the dump?"

There was silence for a moment inside the tank, and he hesitated, "Is it the garbage dump where Star Island Floating City fell?"

"Not bad." Enzo said solemnly.

It seems that the fall of Star Island Floating City is not a secret. Even the survivors of the Twisted Forest Trading Point know it, but they don't know what the fall of this floating island means.

Also, why did the original Golden Hunter steal the core of Orain.

And whether the Orain core that was later obtained by Enzo was the one that was stolen from the Star Island Floating City.

"Park the mecha and the car outside, and after passing the identity check, prepare to pass." The direction of the guard came from the tank.

Uriah and Melissa jumped out of the SUV.

"This is the rule of the Twisted Forest Trading Point. No one can drive a mecha into the trading point, otherwise it may cause chaos." Melissa whispered.

Enzo didn't care and jumped down from the mecha cabin.

Ahead, there is an entrance to the bottom, protected by tanks. The underground city under the twisted forest was originally a large shelter, but it was later abandoned due to the emergence of the floating island.

The three of them walked towards the entrance of the dungeon.

A gray-white metal door blocked the entrance. Several heavily armed soldiers were waiting with guns in hand. One of the men stepped forward and used a device similar to a temperature measuring gun to shoot into the eyes of the three of them.

"The target status is normal and not infected!"

"The target is in normal condition and may not be infected!"

"The target status is normal and not infected!"

Three tests showed that the target was in normal condition, but during the last time, the instrument made a slight sound, and a trace of surprise flashed in the guard's eyes.

"Hunter?" the other party asked.

Enzo nodded slightly and did not deny it. In fact, strictly speaking, he did not belong to the category of hunter, but he also had strong strength, so the instrument detected that he had a special physique.

"go in."

Later, the guard warned: "Private fighting is strictly prohibited in the underground city. Regardless of the reason, the guards will be responsible for regulating it. If anyone dares to violate the rules, they will be severely punished."

The three of them entered the underground city without any objection.

After passing through a long tunnel, the scene ahead suddenly opened up. Unlike the shelters in the drainage pipes near the garbage dump, the underground city is a real gathering place for humans.

As far as the eye can see, there are large buildings everywhere.

Although the survivors here are still under the threat of radiation, they are obviously much stronger than those near the garbage dump. Streetlights illuminate both sides of the streets in the underground city, and people dressed in different clothes are walking in a hurry.

In a moment, Enzo had seen several hunters passing by.

"Is this... the dungeon?"

Uriah murmured to himself, seeming to be shocked by the sight before him. As a scavenger who had lived near the garbage dump since he was a child, he had never seen such a three-story building, especially one built deep underground.

The three of them headed forward along the road.

Uriah felt novel about everything in the underground city, while Melissa's face showed a nostalgic expression from time to time. She had not seen such a scene for a long time, and her eyes shone with an inexplicable luster.

Ahead, a large store appeared.

"Let's go in and take a look." Enzo stopped. This is a shop selling mechanical products. After entering, there is a spacious hall. The steel shelves on both sides are filled with various firearms and equipment.

Although mechas are the mainstream weapons in the wasteland, they are too expensive and not everyone can accept them. What's more, only hunters can control mechas. For most people, self-defense weapons are still Mainly firearms.

"What does the guest need?"

Seeing three people entering the hall, an old man stepped forward and introduced enthusiastically: "We have the latest firearms and equipment here. When fully armed, ordinary people can exert their strength as hunters, even if they encounter zombies in the wild. , you can also have a certain power of self-protection.”

"Do you have any large mechanical parts here?" Enzo asked directly.

Although firearms can arm one's forces, the purpose of Enzo's trip is to collect mechanical parts for repairing the floating city, so he didn't waste any time and handed a list directly to the old man.

The old man looked at the contents on the list, and his expression suddenly became astonished.

"What are these?"

The old man couldn't help but shook his head and said, "The things the customers need are all the large mechanical accessories on the floating city. We don't have them here. If the customers want to buy them, I'm afraid they can only go to the furnace factory."

“However, even a furnace factory may not have these things.”

Enzo frowned slightly, but there was no surprise in his heart. The large-scale mechanical parts needed to repair the floating city were not available in ordinary stores. Fortunately, the other party provided him with a direction, which was the furnace factory.

The largest mechanical equipment factory in the underground city.

It is also the greatest reliance of the underground city owner. Not only can the factory smelt steel from ore, but it also has an assembly line-like workshop that can manufacture firearms, mechanical equipment, and even light mechas.

"Are these guests residents of the Lighthouse Floating City?"

At this time, the old man suddenly spoke and asked tentatively, "There are rumors outside that the Lighthouse Floating City has been seriously damaged since it was attacked by a monster last time. It is even crumbling in the sky. Is it true?"

"The lighthouse floating city was attacked by monsters?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.

"Aren't these residents of the Floating City?"

The old man's face became strange and said, "This matter has been spread in the underground city for a long time. Half a year ago, the Lighthouse Floating City was attacked by a large number of monsters. There were serious damages inside the floating city, and some even fell to the ground." possibility."

"The scientists at the Lighthouse Floating City are trying every possible means to repair the damage to the Floating City, but they can only maintain the status quo. There is still the possibility of the Floating City falling. During this period, people flying from the Lighthouse Floating City can be seen almost every day. Get out of the Mecha Warrior and head towards the direction of the Guardian Fortress."

"Is the Lighthouse Floating City going to crash?" Uriah's expression changed.

He already knew about the crashed floating city deep in the garbage dump, but he didn't expect that even the lighthouse floating city was in crisis and might fall. Each of the one hundred floating cities in the doomsday wasteland was a human being. hope, but now unexpected events have occurred one after another.

"Lighthouse Floating City..." Enzo's eyes flashed.

Memories suddenly came to mind. When he first came to this world, he and Wayne seemed to have encountered a powerful hunter. He called himself Heller. He seemed to come from the Lighthouse Floating City and was looking for something outside. .

"Is the core of Aurain in the Lighthouse Floating City also stolen?"

Enzo thought of the possibility that what Heller was looking for was probably the core of Orain in the zombie's belly, but he failed and fell into Enzo's hands by mistake.

"Why is this happening?"

Melissa murmured to herself, ": Accidents have occurred one after another in the floating city. Are humans really going to lose hope?"

In the eyes of the people in the doomsday wasteland, the floating city is hope.

As long as those high-altitude floating cities still exist, mankind will never perish. Even if the radiation in the wasteland continent continues to worsen, it will only lead to the destruction of the wasteland people at most.

"Have the mecha warriors in the Lighthouse Floating City abandoned the Lighthouse Floating City when they left the Floating City?" Then, Enzo asked again.

Everything that happened in the Lighthouse Floating City was very similar to the Star Island Floating City.

It was all because of an accident in the floating city that caused people's hearts to wander. As guardians, the mecha warriors abandoned the ordinary people who needed protection and relied on the power of the mecha to escape alone.

"No! Not so."

The old man shook his head and sighed, "Three years ago, when the Star Island Floating City crashed, it was because the mecha warriors escaped first that everyone lost hope."

"So after that incident was over."

"The rulers of all the floating cities have jointly formed the Government of Hope and re-established some rules. One of them includes the rule that mecha warriors must coexist and die with the floating cities."

"If a floating island is on the verge of crashing, then the mecha warrior must stay until the end, otherwise he will be wanted by the Hope government, and no floating island will accept his existence anymore."

"This time, the mecha warriors of Lighthouse Floating City go out frequently, mainly because of the second home plan of Lighthouse Floating City."

"Second Home Plan?" Enzo asked doubtfully.

"Yes, if the fall of the Floating City has reached an irreversible level, then the survivors above will always have to find a main road for themselves, so the top management of the Lighthouse Floating City has formulated a second home plan."

"They plan to find a place to live in the wasteland continent."

"You know, there are more than 100,000 residents in the Lighthouse Floating City. Such a large number of humans gathering together will inevitably attract a large number of zombies, so the top management of the Lighthouse Floating City targeted the Guardian Fortress." The old man told road.

"Guardian Fortress? Didn't that place fall long ago?"

At this time, a trace of surprise appeared on Melissa's face, and she said, "As far as I know, the history of that fortress is longer than that of the floating city. It is a product of the same period as the underground city. It was built by human survivors to resist the zombies." A place to build.”

Enzo raised his eyebrows, not expecting that Melissa knew quite a lot.

"Yes, the Guardian Fortress has indeed fallen for many years, but for the people in the Lighthouse Floating City, they have no choice." The old man shrugged and said, "The top management of the Lighthouse Floating City decided to send mecha warriors to destroy the fortress." Clean up the side and repair the damaged area, and then drop the survivors from the floating city."
