Chapter 273 White City and Steampunk City

On the way back, everyone felt quite heavy.

"I really want the conservatives to come here," Phoebe said, clenching her fists. "See what happens when you refuse to fight."

"They shouldn't have gone underground in the first place." Cang Ling said, "Although they avoided the immediate crisis, they also lost the opportunity to counterattack in the future. It is tantamount to slow suicide."

"Man is the child of light, and he can survive only in the sun. No matter how safe the underground is, it is not a place for people to stay." Kali continued.

"I can't imagine the feeling of living underground for the rest of my life." Ryan said, crossing his arms, "I would rather die in battle if I had to live this life."

"The most frightening thing is not poverty and hunger, but the loss of fighting spirit." Martin said, "Look at the expressions of those underground people, they look like walking dead, and the mutants are more active than them."

"If we can't beat those abyssalists, will we end up like this?" Diego said worriedly, "Seeing them, I seem to see the future..."

Before Diego finished speaking, Ryan and Martin reached out and covered his mouth at the same time.

"Because you have the physique of a crow's mouth, it's best not to say any unlucky words." Ryan said seriously.

"That's right." Martin also nodded seriously.

"Woo...I'm not a crow's mouth..." Diego looked depressed.

After returning to the gendarmerie, the chief executive arranged dinner for them and specially opened a bathhouse for them.

(In Sandia, the bathhouse is only open on weekends, and the hot water supply is limited)
After eating, everyone went to the bathhouse to take a bath, and found that each person only had a quota of one bucket of water. It seemed impossible to take a bath, so they had to simply wash their hands.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the governor's reply came, saying that the news of their visit had been passed to the king, and the king ordered them to be taken to the capital, and they would leave at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning, and the king would meet them at the palace at [-] o'clock.

"King? Isn't it the Grand Duke?" Phoebe asked.

"The political system has changed, so the title of the leader must have changed as well," Cang Ling said.

"Where is the capital?" Wolfe asked.

"In the middle of the five cities." Casero took out a map from the drawer and drew a circle on it with his fingers.

Wolf took a closer look and found that the five cities were not on the same plane, but distributed at different heights. The Crystal City was the highest, the Lava City was the lowest, and the Royal Capital was on the same level as the Labyrinth City on the third floor.

"Is this city approaching the center of the earth?" Ryan said, pointing to Lava City.

"From the scale of the map, the crystal city is about the same height as the ground, and the lava city is about 2000 meters underground." Cang Ling said.

"2000 meters underground...It's like Mount Adele upside down. It's so scary, I feel like I'm going to hell." Phoebe stuck out her tongue.

"The people who live there must be under a lot of pressure!" Martin laughed. "In case of an earthquake, it will all be explained underground."

As soon as the words fell, Kali slapped Martin's mouth.

"What are you doing?" Martin said disapprovingly, covering his mouth.

"Sorry, I read it wrong. I thought it was Diego who spoke just now." Kali hurriedly apologized.

Diego: "..."

"Okay, everyone. Go to rest! Get up at five tomorrow morning." Wolf urged.

"I mean, it's dark here in mid-winter. I really can't tell the difference between day and night." Everyone muttered and went out.

Before entering the guest room, Charlene said to Wolff, "Captain, someone has come to our room."

"How do you know?" Ryan asked hurriedly.

"I tied the spiritual power thread to the doorknob." Charlene raised her hand and said, "The door was opened, not long after we set off."

"They must be trying to steal food!" Phoebe said, "Zero, you are right, these underground people are really unreliable."

"If it's someone stealing food, it's okay, but I'm afraid it's not." Wolfe said, "Everyone should be more alert when sleeping, don't take off your clothes, and it's best to put weapons and backpacks on the bed."

"It shouldn't be a problem, right? They are such a big place and have such a large population, so they won't be interested in something like us?" Diego asked anxiously.

"It's definitely not wrong to be more careful. Go and rest." Wolfe didn't say much.

Everyone glanced at each other and went back to the guest room to sleep.

At five o'clock the next morning, everyone got up on time to wash and prepare to leave for the capital.

What connects each city is a suspended trolley like a cableway car, each of which can accommodate about 10 people. It is hung on the cableway with pulleys and slowly moves forward in the winding and narrow tunnel.

"It's amazing! Such a long track can be built underground." Diego looked at this huge project and was amazed.

"Although Sandia fell into the ground, the technology is more advanced than ours. At least we can't make it." Ryan laughed.

"Where do these metals come from?" Cang Ling asked the guard.

When the guard saw her talking to him, he was immediately flattered, and murmured a series of excited words.

Only then did Cang Ling realize that they did not understand the language, so he had to give up.

More than half an hour later, Xueyu City arrived, and they were going across the city to another intercity rail station.

"Wow! So beautiful!"

As soon as they entered the city, the girls exclaimed.

In front of you is a white city that is pure white and flawless, like a world of ice and snow!

All the ground and buildings are made of white ore, which sparkles under the lights and is beautiful.

"White jade is abundant here." Casero said, "If it is on the ground, these white jades can almost buy a country, but underground, it is worthless."

"It's so beautiful, like the Crystal Palace." Cang Ling's girlish heart was inspired, this snow-white city is so beautiful.

Wolfe was not moved by the beauty in front of him, his attention was focused on a huge monument on the top floor.

The monument is 10 meters high and 3 meters wide. It reads: Deeply remember all the victims in the War of Independence in 1685, and the glory is with you.

"War of Independence? There are no foreign enemies in Santa Maria, so why did the War of Independence come about? In 1685, that was the year before the Croto Village incident, and also the second year after Jan left Sandia..." Wolfe silently in his heart thinking.

After leaving Snow Jade City, they went down to Labyrinth City.

Labyrinth City is a steampunk city consisting of more than 200 relatively small caves.

Because there are so many caves and the tunnels are so narrow, walking is like going around a maze.Those who are not familiar with the terrain will be surrounded after walking for a while.

"A lot of machines." Cang Ling said looking at the huge gears and intertwined pipes in the distance.

"The Labyrinth City is an industrial city." Casero introduced, "More than [-]% of the manufacturing and processing industries are here."

"Look at that building!" Phoebe yelled, pointing down.

Everyone leaned on the railing and looked down, only to see a high-rise building with a steeple, covered with metal, gears and pipes, surrounded by six huge windmill-like fan blades, slowly rotating under the drive of the waterfall.

　I will work overtime for two days this weekend, so I won’t add any updates. Long live my understanding~(_)
