Chapter 479 The 3rd day of missing Dragon City! The abyss rift in the Mechanized City!
Just as the Earth Dragon Turtle set off for the Mechanical City.
Many other people are also heading to the city.
"Captain, this trade route is so bumpy, my butt is all swollen from all the jolting..." Somewhere in the wilderness, on a man-made road, Sanlo and Agatha were each riding a bicycle, pedaling quickly.
Agatha rolled her eyes and complained incessantly as she pedaled her bicycle.
“It really is too bumpy…” Sangluo’s expression was also somewhat unpleasant.
The roads in Longcheng are so smooth that there is no bumpy ride at all when cycling in Longcheng.
As soon as they left Dragon City, the two felt the gap between them.
The wilderness was full of potholes, scattered with pebbles and puddles...
Several times, the two rode too fast and couldn't brake in time when they encountered puddles.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and ride over.
The result was that I got covered in mud.
But that's not the worst part.
Because of the gravel everywhere, the ride was bumpy the whole way.
That feeling was unbearable, let alone for Agatha Christie alone.
Even Sangluo, a man, couldn't stand it at all.
"Sigh... Dragon City is still the best!" Agatha couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"Ahem..." Upon hearing this, Sang Luo coughed twice and said in a serious tone, "We're not far from the Mechanized City. We can't say things like that anymore! If the people of the Mechanized City hear us, we'll be in trouble!"
"I know, you're so long-winded," Agatha waved her hand impatiently.
"Just bear with it a little longer. Once we get to the Mechanical City, the road will be easier..." Sangluo comforted himself.
"Hey Captain, look!" Agatha suddenly interrupted Sangluo, "Look, there are so many more people coming over there..."
She rode her bicycle with one hand, pointing somewhere with the other.
“They must be here to trade in the Mechanical City.” Sangluo looked in the direction Agatha was pointing.
To the left of the two was a mountain path where hundreds of people were carrying or shouldering various items.
It was obvious at a glance that these people were traveling merchants who had come to the city of the mechanical palace to make a trade.
“However… there are even more people here this time than before!” Sangluo glanced around, his gaze grave.
In the past, the number of itinerant merchants was fixed, and the goods they purchased were also fixed.
Because even if a large amount of goods were purchased in the city, they simply couldn't sell them all.
After all, the consumption level of each city is limited.
The reason why there were more traveling merchants and hunting teams was that the number of transactions also increased.
It was because of the once-in-a-century catastrophe that people were filled with fear and unease.
Moreover, many minor factions had completely disappeared on the previous full moon night.
Therefore, mechanical weapons from the mechanical city naturally sold even better, attracting more traveling merchants.
Everyone is preparing to face the legendary once-in-a-century catastrophe!
As the two drew closer to the mechanical city.
We're seeing more and more itinerant merchants and wilderness hunting teams.
These people all had similar outfits.
They all carried goods either on their shoulders or on their backs, and some even used handcarts similar to those in Longcheng.
Each team carried a considerable amount of goods, mostly materials from ferocious beasts and meteorite iron...
There were also people who drove around living ferocious beasts, which were also used for trade.
"Captain, do you think the Mechanized City can survive if the great calamity of a century really comes?"
At this moment, Sangluo and his companion were not far from the Mechanical City, and they could even vaguely see the outline of a colossal creature. Agatha couldn't help but ask.
She is still young and inexperienced, and has no idea about many confidential matters.
But Captain Sanlo is knowledgeable and knows some of the secrets of the last catastrophe.
"I don't know either," Sangluo said uncertainly, looking at the enormous creature that was faintly visible in the distance.
Is the Mechanical City powerful? Absolutely! It's teeming with experts!
However, when Sangluo looked at the ground, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
A huge crack, more than a meter wide and bottomless, stretched forward, extending into the city of machines, with no end in sight.
This was left over from the last full moon night.
At that time, an earthquake suddenly struck the city of government offices.
Despite the two elders' all-out resistance, the mechanical city was not destroyed.
However, a crack appeared in the ground in the middle of the entire mechanical city.
The narrowest part is only a little over 100 meters wide, while the widest part is more than 10 meters wide.
It stretches for more than ten kilometers and is bottomless.
It was as if... someone had torn the entire mechanical city apart with their bare hands.
At first glance, it looks like an abyss leading to hell!
Faced with such immense power of nature, human strength seems utterly inadequate.
Even the self-important First Elder and Second Elder were at a loss.
They racked their brains trying to repair the crack.
After all, the city of government offices has been divided, making transportation and daily life extremely inconvenient.
But in the end, because the crack was too long and too thick, the two elders were powerless to do anything about it.
In the end, it just fizzled out!
"Whether the Mechanized City can survive, I don't know! But..."
Finally, Sang Luo sighed, then, as if remembering something, he changed the subject and said, "I think Dragon City can definitely do it!"
"Yes! Dragon City can definitely do it!" Agatha said with certainty.
Although I only stayed in Longcheng for a few days.
But what they saw and heard there convinced them both.
When the century-long catastrophe struck...
If there is one force that is certain to escape this calamity, it must be Dragon City!
"Sanlo, Agatha! You still know how to come back!" At this moment, a cold shout rang out.
It turned out that the two had already arrived at the gate of the mechanical city.
The general guarding the city was a lean middle-aged man whose aura was much stronger than Sang Luo's. As soon as he saw the two of them, he said in an unfriendly tone, "Now, go to the Elder Hall immediately. The two elders are waiting for you!"
"We just got back, and the two elders are already looking for us?" Sangluo asked suspiciously upon hearing this.
"Enough with the nonsense! Go to the council of elders immediately!" the lean middle-aged man said coldly.
“But Chief Qin, we’ve only just returned…” Agatha said indignantly.
At least let them go home and have a drink of water.
"Yes! Chief Qin Tian! We'll go see the two elders immediately!" However, before Agatha could finish speaking, Sangluo grabbed her and pulled her into the city.
"Captain, what are you doing? Did I say something wrong?"
Once inside the city, Agatha pouted and grumbled in dissatisfaction:
"These people have been enjoying themselves in the city, while we risk our lives to carry out missions. If we fail, we have to suffer cruel torture! Why... do we have to endure this kind of treatment as soon as we come back?"
When I was in Longcheng.
When the warriors returned from hunting trips, the residents lined the streets to welcome them.
And what about the two of us?
To prevent the Mechanical City from going to war with Dragon City, they traveled day and night without stopping.
We traveled for two or three days straight without much rest.
And what happened? After returning to the city, they were treated like dogs and bossed around!
Agatha couldn't understand why she had traveled all this way back.
