Steel Steam and Flame

While waiting to leave, Cassia often went to and from the library of Amotan City, and visited the only small bookstore several times. The types of books are more extensive. There is no library like a military school to provide all kinds of convenient professional materials. Cassia relies on these to spend boring time in his free time.

The meeting is scheduled for Monday, and that is the person who will take him to leave the Kingdom of Chil, called the navigator or the tour guide. And on Monday, the skinny man with dark skin that Cassia saw did like others calling him that.

This man was called Vettel, and his height of about 1.8 meters made him look like a dead tree that could move. I have been in this business for a long time, and I heard from him that there are many people like him in the sub-frontier of the Empire without war. They also have formal companies, which seem to be traveling around the surrounding areas, but in reality they don’t need to go to the small surrounding countries. There are also many supporting services, such as currency exchange, depending on the price, which can be used in the target area for several months, until a permanent identity card, etc.

In the morning, Cassia took his suitcase to the agreed place, which was on the edge of Amotan, a sluggish industrial park with bumpy roads. There are only a few factories that can be observed that are still alive.

The boarding place was in a closed factory bought by a company owned by Vettel. The machine was taken away long ago, leaving only the concrete floor with many foundation pits. I knew that I was not the only one. When Cassia showed the secret sign of the meeting and his identity, after passing through the two doors where the paint had begun to bulge, he did not expect that the people in front of him would be several times more than he expected.

Nearly No. 150, all with large bags and small bags of luggage, like a factory, a lifeless look, like a leaf-like expression in late summer and early autumn, full of solemnity. On the inside of the plant, there are nearly twenty large vehicles parked on the spot, like the leader of a heavy truck, and the body of a passenger vehicle spliced ​​together.

More than one hundred and fifty people were divided into groups. People who knew each other gathered together to chat, while none sat on their luggage, smoking cigarettes, or staring at the crowd in front of them in a daze. Vettel and a few others leaned on the steel pillar beside the crowd, and looked at the time from time to time. It was difficult to survive this short time.

Looking for a corner next to the crowd, Cassia stood there waiting to get on the bus. At this time, letting go of perception, secretly wrapped more than a hundred people in the small workshop. In addition to Vettel’s who are operated on, there are also close to 20 of the more than 100 people who are operated on, but the stage is probably not very high. Cassia judges that including Vettel, it is in the second stage. There are not three people.

Most of these people’s luggage contained firearms like firearms, as if their suitcases were full of weapons. When the voice detected this, Cassia shook her head secretly, sighing for some reason, but felt that she was completely incompatible with the person in front of her.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon when we set off. There are no more than twenty people in a car, and the luggage and some goods carried by the car itself still have a lot of space. I found a seat casually and sat down. Cassia watched that the scenery outside the small window quickly changed from a dilapidated factory building to a road with only vehicles, and then other vehicles disappeared. Before night fell, there were only wilderness around and a road without knowing where to go. Where's the road.

According to Delya, starting from the city of Amotan, using the route of Vettel and his company, it would take about 13 days to reach the territory of the Kyr Kingdom.

Relying on Vettel and them the next day, they smoothly walked out of the border of the empire. The quality of the road gradually deteriorates with the degree of desolation outside the window. In the evening, the concrete road has disappeared and turned into a hard soil road that has been rolled all the year round. With bumps and bumps along the way, Cassia finished reading the third book and looked around. Others also slept very peacefully in this environment. I don’t know if I’m really tired. Thinking back to the appearance of the people I saw in the factory, I think it’s a matter of course.

The only time you can set foot on the land is when you add steam and eat at the dilapidated stations along the way. This has become an industrial line. At each station, Cassia can see other vehicles, pulling a lot of people to various small countries. These stations also appear regularly, at fixed points, and at fixed locations.

Ordinary people have worked in the past, and occasionally heard their conversations. The wages in these small countries are higher than those in the empire. Probably the result of frequent changes in the ruling class and perennial instability. The populations of the small countries among the three giant countries are not very saturated. In addition, education is worse than the internal empire, as long as you have some skills, you can get satisfactory rewards in these countries.

More importantly, many of these small domestic machines, such as some important production equipment ~www.readwn.com~, are flowed out of the empire. Either second-hand, or obsolete or close to obsolete equipment. Regardless of the operation method, the control method and the programming of the differential engine are all manufactured by the Empire. As long as you have stayed in an imperial factory, you don't need a high-level factory. Even if you have never used it, you can get started faster and easier to master than people from these small countries.

On the fourth day, Cassia and them all got out of the bus and rested in a certain city in a country. The crowd was now divided into several pieces, and Vettel and the others began to lead the team separately to different destinations.

In terms of transportation, some became cheap trains and passenger versions of the Empire's relisting, but the extremely weak version, no matter the power, or the size and speed, it is definitely not comparable.

In the end, there were less than twenty-three people who were going to the Kingdom of Kyr. In addition to Cassia and Vettel, there was also a first-stage surgeon among them. Still use that spliced ​​car. Departing in the morning of the next day, before the departure, the vehicle also went to the small station of Vettel here, like handing over the real-time situation of the nearest route passing through the area.

There must be no good conditions. Before the vehicle started, Vettel and the driver carried a box to the cab. Inside were weapons, blunderbuss and light machine guns, and the rest were bullets and steel bombs.

It seems that no business is easy to do, thought Cassia. Outside the window, from the afternoon of the second day after departure, no obvious high-rise buildings have been framed in. They are all wilderness, as well as a cluster of low-rise buildings built on the wilderness, one after another, close or sparse. All of them smelled of mud and dust, so that along the way, Cassia saw things that made him feel long-lost in many places along the way, full of familiarity and intimacy. It is a long chimney with black smoke.
