Chapter 1341 On the Road

"Where do you think they will set up an ambush?" Sylvia asked Leo with interest, her tone relaxed as if the people being attacked were not her and Leo.

Leo thought for a while and said, "Gerta Bend."

Gerta Bend is a synonym for the railway in the whole mountainous area. The railways in that area are basically the railways along the mountain with great curvature, and there are several high-altitude bridges. of the lot.

If Leo chooses the location of the ambush, he will definitely choose this location, because there are too many locations that can provide ambushes and cause huge damage. Even the Otto Federation is aware of the danger of this railway and sent a troop Permanently stationed in the mountain, patrolling back and forth along the railway line, but unless some high-tech monitoring devices are used, it is impossible to completely prevent other people from setting up an ambush here with human patrol alone.

After stopping Leo's answer, Sylvia didn't seem to agree. He shook his head and said, "I don't think Gerta Bend is a suitable place to set up an ambush. There isn't much vegetation there, it's all bare. Mountains, even if the ambush is successful, it is almost impossible to escape the arrest of the Ott Federation army in this environment. So I think Aisha Forest should be a more suitable place for ambush."

Just like Sylvia, Leo didn't agree with Sylvia's opinion. Although Aisha Forest was also on his list of suitable ambush locations, he felt that if the person who set the ambush really wanted to kill If there are people in the carriage, then Gerta Bend is the most suitable place, while Aisha Forest may not be able to kill the people in the carriage, or even attack the train.

Sylvia also seemed to see Leo's thoughts from his expression, so she suggested, "Why don't we make a bet! Let's see who is right."

Leo also said with interest: "What's the bet?"

"If you lose, tell me more about the Earth Federation. If I lose, I will tell you some secrets of the abyss that only the dragon of the abyss knows." Sylvia thought for a while and said.

Although Leo told Sylvia a lot about cosmic civilization, he rarely mentioned the Earth Federation, and he didn't know whether he didn't want to mention it or didn't want to mention it, but Sylvia mentioned that the humans of the Earth Federation were very It may be the ancestors of humans in the Velen world, so they became very interested and often asked Leo about the Earth Federation, but even if Leo answered, he said very little, which made Sylvia very dissatisfied .

Hearing this, Leo was silent for a while, nodded, and said, "Yes."

At this moment, the people in charge of security in the corridor outside the carriage don't know that the people inside the carriage are betting on the safety of the train carriage, but they also know that if there is an attack, then the difficult terrain of the Landy Railway It would definitely be the best place to set up an ambush, so the officer who led the team immediately set up defenses from the moment they boarded the vehicle.

I don't know if they don't trust the security capabilities of Cady and those people, or if these people's security capabilities are stronger. As for the security work of the people, not only the people of Cady were taken over by him, but even the special forces of the Ministry of Education that Sanders had commanded before joined the escort team under a single order.

Judging from all the signs, it is very likely that the grenade weapon made by Leo has become a weapon that will influence the battle situation in the future. This matter should have been known to the surrounding church countries, so those church countries will definitely attack Leo. , This attack should not be to kill Leo. After all, since the manufacturing method has been mastered by the Otto Federation, killing Leo will not help, so it is more likely to capture Leo alive.

Therefore, from the subtle reactions of the new security personnel, especially the team leader, we can guess that these people may have already received an ultimate order, and the content of that order is likely to be out of control. In the case of protecting Leo's safety, you can kill Leo and the like first.

However, before that order is triggered, the task of these people should be to protect Leo's safety at all costs. After all, Leo has become a master of weapons research and development in the eyes of those federal executives. With the help of Langenus, Those people may have placed their hopes of developing more powerful weapons on him, otherwise it would be impossible to send so many people to protect their couple.

This captain has richer security experience. He not only vacated the three cars at the rear of the car, but also prepared to arrange Leo and Sylvia in the penultimate car, using the special car at the end as a bait. Can be docked and discarded.

It's a pity that this plan was not implemented because of Sylvia's objection, and Sylvia didn't covet the comfort of the facilities in this carriage, but wanted to watch the show up close. After all, she was practicing control these days, it was too boring , it's rare for something interesting to happen, so naturally she won't miss it.

When Leo and his wife could not move to the second car, the captain temporarily changed the plan. He decided to put the protection in the open, not only opened the car windows and set up some vehicles with extremely low accuracy but coverage In addition to the wide range of large-caliber shotguns, two teams of people were arranged on the roof of the car, and six newly developed rapid-fire guns were set up.

This rapid-fire gun should be an improved version of a large-caliber shotgun. At the rear end of the gun, a rotary magazine that can hold twelve large ammunition is added, and the function of quick disassembly is added. Looking at it, it should also refer to the few handmade guns that Leo gave as gifts.

After seeing this patchwork rapid-fire gun, Leo felt a little want to laugh, because in his eyes, this kind of gun was like a freak full of problems, but what was surprising was that this rapid-fire gun In the mouths of these secret service security guards, it is very good, and from them, Leo also learned that the first batch of rapid-fire guns manufactured has been sent to the front line for equipment, and has played a role in turning the tide of battle in several regional wars. As a result, the weapons manufacturers of the Federation have been working at full capacity to manufacture this kind of rapid-fire gun.

After listening to the security personnel's narration, Leo also looked at the rapid-fire gun in front of him in a different way, and did not compare it with the countless classic gun shapes in his mind. This also made him realize that this rapid-fire gun is not useless. At least when the enemy enters its attack range, with the firing speed of this rapid-fire gun and the coverage of a large-caliber shotgun, basically all living creatures within its attack range will be hit, and it will be continuous hit.

Now that the armies of various countries are accustomed to the marching and charging mode of standing in rows, this rapid-fire gun is simply a death sickle for harvesting life. It is no wonder that the upper echelons of the Otter Federation will manufacture and equip rapid-fire guns on a large scale so quickly.

In addition to these conventional weapons, the secret service security also distributed a glass bottle filled with purple liquid to everyone. After asking for one to no avail, Leo used the spirit net to check the liquid in the glass bottle and found that the The liquid is actually something similar to a nutrient solution, except that some bacteria grow in the nutrient solution, and Leo can feel a very strong vitality from these bacteria.

He guessed that if an ordinary person drank this bottle of potion, these bacteria with strong vitality would quickly combine with the cells in the user's body in a short period of time to mutate, and then give the user some inhuman abilities.

In terms of effect, this potion is somewhat similar to Leo's wizard potion, but it is not as safe as the wizard potion, because the ability produced by this cell mutation is likely to cause irreversible fatal mutations to the user, and even make the If the mutation continues, it is unknown what the final mutation will be. Therefore, when the medicine was distributed, the captain repeatedly emphasized that it is not allowed to use this medicine unless it is a last resort.

The train was driving fast on the railway, and soon it had entered the border area between Josh County and the capital county. First, it entered a swamp area. The snow water flowing down from the mountain soaked the land here. The geology here itself is a rare sand-mud mixed geology, no big plants can grow, and it is extremely soft, which gradually formed the current big swamp.

Although this is a large swamp that is not suitable for human habitation, many people still enter this swamp to pan for gold.

The gold panning here is really gold panning, because the Federation discovered a large gold mine in the nearby mountainous area more than ten years ago, and it was also a large semi-open-air gold mine. Although the gold mine belongs to the federal government, it is impossible for private individuals to excavate it. The golden sand washed down by rain and snow is unowned.

Over the years, a large amount of gold sand has been integrated into the Everglades below along with the water left from the top of the mountain. After the gold mine was discovered, some people immediately thought of this and tried to find these gold sands. Many of them They all died in the swamp, but there are still many people who discovered the golden sand that was screened by nature, and became rich overnight, so even though going deep into the swamp is life-threatening, many people still rushed in desperately.

When the Landy Railway was pruning the railway in this area of ​​the Everglades, a lot of workers died, and finally found a land that runs through the swamp, and the railway was able to be completed, and the Landy Railway became those who entered and exited the swamp. The road of safety guidance that every person must walk.

This also makes it possible to see many ragged gold diggers walking slowly along the land guided by the railway outside the window and beside the railway when the train is passing through the Great Swamp.

Originally, the Landy Railway had a stop in the middle of the Great Swamp, mainly to receive those gold diggers who found gold in the Great Swamp, but now because of the expropriation of the railway, this station does not stop. A small town established as a stop to serve gold diggers has also become deserted.

For these low-level people in the Otter Federation, they don't care about national policies and national wars, etc. They only care about the railway being expropriated by the federal government, the train no longer stops at this station, and the town is declining day by day, so their income is naturally corresponding The rapid fall made them extremely resentful towards the federal government, so when the train passed by that station, many people living in the local area stood on the platforms on both sides, with a basket of sludge beside them, grabbing the sludge and passing by to vent their anger and dissatisfaction.

After the train passed by that platform, Sylvia looked at a piece of mud on the window and said: "It's fine if the Otter Federation can quell the war for a short time, or create a large number of victories. Too long, I'm afraid..."

Sylvia did not continue, but Leo fully understood what she meant. It is obvious that the Oeter Federation overestimated the cohesion of their country, and underestimated the emotions of the people at the bottom. Now everything can be passed through power. With the army suppressing it, once there is a problem in the external war, internal conflicts will inevitably erupt. At that time, those church members hidden in the people will come out to stir up emotions, and the Otto Federation may be in chaos.

In fact, the problem of the Otter Federation did not appear recently. It has appeared since the founding of the country. The pioneers of the Otter Federation witnessed the devastating destruction brought about by the religious wars, so they had the idea of ​​​​anti-religion. A constitution prohibiting public preaching of religions in the country will be enacted.

But the founding fathers at that time thought the problem too simply, thinking that religion should be banned, but the problem is that after they stripped religion from the hearts of the people, they did not find a non-religious substitute, such as something more Replacing religion for great social ideals, etc., and filling the vacancies of people's beliefs, the result is that the entire Otter Federation society is now in a state of spiritual confusion, which is why even though there is a constitutional ban, various churches are in The reason why the federal government has repeatedly banned it.

However, it is clear that the high-level leaders of the Otter Federation are aware of this, so they need to use a war, a grand victory, and a nationwide religious ban to reshape the spiritual beliefs of the people at the bottom of the federation.

It’s just that whether their risky approach can finally get the desired result is unknown. At least Leo can’t see that the Outer Federation has too much winning rate now, unless the secret weapon of the Outer Federation can really Play a decisive role.

Less than half an hour later, the train passed through the swamp, then passed through a small grassland, and entered the Aisha Forest.

Aisha Forest was originally just a virgin forest without a name. Later, the workers who built the railway heard a legend from the local population about how Aisha, a heroine living in the forest, saved a village under the attack of a herd of beasts. Gradually, the forest was called Aisha.

Compared with the difficulty of building the Great Swamp before, the difficulty of building the railway in Aisha Forest has become much easier. The workers who build the railway are more like lumberjacks. The most they do every day is to cut down trees and move wood. The felled trees are not wasted, and all of them are made into sleepers and used on the railway.

However, the number of workers who died on this road was ten times that of those who accidentally died in the swamp. This was mainly because the forest would erupt from time to time. There is no guarantee that armed soldiers will survive, let alone some ordinary workers.
