Chapter 587 Imperial Capital!

A team of ten warriors, plus a diplomat and his team, Bai E led a total of seventeen people to follow the Imperial Capital Messenger Team and left the developing Blackwater City.

In order to ensure the absolute victory of this game, as the last guarantee, I must follow.

Four off-road vehicles and two heavy armored vehicles crossed the vast wilderness.

The armor of the ten storm warriors was huge, and there was no way to transport it to the Imperial Capital without two heavy transport vehicles.

It was a long way to the Imperial Capital, and it would take four or five days on the road.

Bai E sat alone on the box of one of the transport vehicles, which could protect the equipment and give the warriors a breathing space.

Whether Bai E himself was willing to admit it or not, when his status reached the current point, no matter who he was in a small enclosed space with, the other party would feel pressure involuntarily.

If it was half a day or a few hours, it would be fine, but this time it took four or five days, and those warriors might be suffocated.

Only the messenger captain from the imperial capital, who had no direct subordinate relationship, dared to come to the roof of the car to chat with Bai'e.

"Has Lord Bai ever been so far away from the city before?"

The two sat on the roof of the car in the strong wind, surrounded by the land blown by yellow sand.

A yellowish color spread to the distant sky, merging with the dark sky.

Without human interference, nature did not stop the erosion of desertification.

The strong wind with gravel blew across the cheeks of the two people, which should have easily taken away the words just spoken.

However, the strength of this messenger captain was quite extraordinary, and the language bound by psychic energy could easily reach Bai'e's ears.

"The farthest distance is about this distance." Bai'e nodded and waved his hand to the north, "but it's in that direction."

"That direction?" The messenger captain took a quick look and guessed where it was, "The vicinity of Gray Iron City?"

"Almost, but I haven't really been there."

"Yeah... There hasn't been a real connection between cities for a long time." The messenger captain is obviously an ambitious person, "I don't know how long it will take for each city to establish real communication after this alliance."

Communication on the Internet alone is meaningless. Only by allowing the productivity and people of each city to truly circulate is the significance of this alliance.

"But before that, we must first completely eliminate those threats." Bai'e looked into the distance.

A black column towering into the sky stood on the ground like a black chimney, and the thick breath of death spread around it.

There is also a worm nest there.

It is even more difficult than the worm nest in the Black Rock District near Blackwater City.

This is just the most obvious threat.

Driving from Blackwater City all the way to the Imperial Capital, Bai'e saw the traces of intelligent machines and wandering orcs more than once.

But these things obviously knew that the standard convoy that Bai'e was in was not easy to mess with, and the convoys going to participate in the alliance were too lazy to cause trouble on the road, so they lived in peace with each other.

But in the future, these things... are all threats.

Not to mention the several mutant beasts that Bai'e killed along the way, including a group of mutant jackals.

Blackwater City can currently only shelter an area of ​​3,000 to 4,000 square kilometers centered on the city.

In addition, these various threats are like nails deeply embedded in every corner of the human territory. If all these threats are not eliminated, ordinary people will never be able to boldly step out of the city and into the wilderness.

Perhaps I can make a decisive move against fixed large-scale threats like insect nests, but the countless threats distributed on this vast land must require countless elite warriors to perform cleaning tasks.

And in order to train those warriors, integrated resources and productivity are essential!

Even population is a resource that must be taken seriously.

Union is imperative.

The messenger captain also looked at the black pillar that reached the sky, full of worries, "Yes... After eliminating those threats, we have to open up trade routes again, build roads and railways between cities, and send soldiers to guard and patrol..."

All that was done in the golden age has been buried under the wind and sand for nearly 500 years.

Only the scars on the ground and the knowledge buried in the collection are left, waiting for the day when humans will stand on the top of the world again.

"... I just don't know if I can still see that day."

"Yes." Bai E had a good impression of the messenger captain, and smiled at him and said, "Believe me, it will be soon."

The speed of infrastructure construction has always been a miracle of human beings.

What humans lack is just a hope.

In fact, we can already get a glimpse of the current Blackwater City.

After the development order outside the city was issued, the abandoned building where the black boxing was played in the past has been completely utilized by people, and countless simple buildings have also been built out of thin air on the open space outside the city.

The walls of Blackwater City will soon become medals of honor recorded in history, and the residents of Blackwater City will bring the glory of mankind to all distant places guarded by the army.

With Bai'e leading the way and the soldiers taking turns to rest, the journey that originally took four or five days was compressed into three and a half days.

The white-gold walls of the Imperial Capital caught everyone's eyes from a very far away place. However, just like Wangshan's running to death, it took almost the last half of the convoy's time from the time it saw the Imperial Capital to get closer.

It wasn't until they looked in the direction of the Imperial Capital from the flat land outside the city that everyone realized that their knowledge of the Imperial Capital was still too small.

This majestic city in the apocalypse presents a shocking picture under the gray sky.

It is like a steel forest, shining against the background of the wasteland. Not only is it extremely eye-catching on a realistic level, but it also projects a sense of security that cannot be ignored on a psychological level.

The tall city wall is majestic and solid, even compared with the master, it seems that it does not show any concessions. After the baptism of time, it has not seen any decline, but is even more solid as a rock.

The runes outlined by psychic energy on the city wall shimmered in the sunlight, and sometimes a cold light flashed on the surface of the city, as if an invisible barrier guarded the tranquility of the city. The huge barrier surrounding the city is in sharp contrast to the desolation of the outside world, symbolizing the last line of defense of order and civilization.

In the endless darkness and desolation before, this city stood here, which is the best interpretation of human wisdom and courage, and a firm declaration of life faith and future hope in the shadow of the apocalypse.

This is a truly eternal fortress that never falls!

Arriving at the foot of the Imperial Capital, even the five members of the messenger team who were born in the Imperial Capital couldn't help but puff up their chests with pride.

Only after going to other cities outside and experiencing it for themselves did they truly realize what a miracle the city they grew up in was to the world!

At this moment, in order to welcome the alliance teams from thousands of cities, the imperial capital has apparently established a large temporary residential area outside the city.

"Everyone, come with me." The courier captain sat in his car and took the initiative to drive ahead and lead the way. At the same time, he gave guidance to the team in Blackwater City in his voice, "When you arrive in the Imperial Capital for the first time, we must hold a simple ceremony for you. of the reception ceremony.”

Three off-road vehicles and two delivery vehicles followed the messenger team's off-road vehicle onto a flat stone road.

Neatly cut boulders form this flat avenue.

The end of the avenue extends all the way to the towering steel gate of the Imperial Capital.

When walking on this avenue, I just feel that the towering city seems to be falling from the sky and pressing down at any time, full of suffocating oppression.

Perhaps, this is also the intention of the imperial capital to arrange this?

There are alliances in thousands of cities around the world. If the imperial capital cannot show enough strength to be easy to mess with at the beginning, it may be really difficult to successfully organize this alliance.

After all, it is not difficult to see from the previous promises of the Imperial Capital that even the Imperial Capital itself has to send people to participate in this competition for regional leadership, which means that there are also other cities coveting the absolute leadership of the Imperial Capital.

Coincidentally, Bai E also thought so.

If there is an opportunity, it is natural to fight for it.

If not, you can leave an impression on other cities and pave the way for your future expansion.

After all, Helen said that building a starship might still be a big deal, even if dozens or twenty cities in an area emptied their homes.

However, as soon as the car drove onto this boulder road, Bai E felt a strange feeling.

A certain smooth image flashed through my mind, and the arthropod sound and smell unique to insects acted on my senses like a substance.

Bai E was stunned for a moment, realizing that he had accidentally triggered a certain ability——

Zerg nemesis.

[Title - Zerg Nemesis: ... No Zerg can easily get close to you, and you will be able to easily sense the breath of any Zerg within 10 kilometers of you. The closer the distance, the more accurate the positioning...]

There are bugs within 10 kilometers!

There wasn't even just one, and it wasn't just any ordinary worker bee bug.

Along the way, this was not the first time that Bai E had triggered this perception of the Zerg.

Through several encounters, Bai E also roughly studied the feedback range this ability would bring to him when encountering different Zerg races.

Judging from the image I felt at that moment, the signal generated by the bugs I encountered this time was much stronger than the signal from a group of worker bugs led by a mantis bug. !

This was the feedback brought to me by the strongest group of bugs I had ever encountered on the way here.

But the problem is, how can bugs appear within 10 kilometers of the imperial capital? Or even an elite Zerg whose rank is higher than that of the mantis?

Could it be that the Imperial City has imprisoned living Zerg animals for experimentation?

Or are those cunning bugs hiding underground somewhere close to the Imperial Capital?

Bai E frowned slightly and suppressed this doubt in his heart.

The introduction of the courier captain also came from the headphones in my ears, "The person greeting you at the front is the deputy marshal of our imperial military headquarters. The living area where you will live in the next few days will be arranged by him. Because of the distance problem, we Blackwater City is actually the last group to arrive."

Not only the speed of movement of the Blackwater City envoy, but also the time it takes for the messenger team to travel back and forth.

The long distance made these cost factors continuously amplified. Even if Bai E had his men take turns running around all night, they would still be the last ones to arrive.

So the messenger captain's voice was a little awkward in the voice chat, "So those other city teams that arrived the earliest actually have some complaints about the teams that have been waiting for us in the later batch. If you hear any rumors, please try not to pay attention to them. During the alliance, peace is the most important thing."

There are all kinds of birds in the forest, not to mention the alliance of thousands of city representatives?

Just to prevent these visiting city delegations from fighting each other, the imperial capital that organized this alliance has been overwhelmed.

As soon as the messenger team approached the signal coverage area of ​​the imperial capital, they learned about the dilemma currently facing the imperial capital from the remote communication.

Telling each city delegation to abide by the rules and try to restrain themselves is also the responsibility that these delegations must bear.

"I know." Bai Er smiled and replied in the voice chat immediately.

Any words before the game are meaningless.

As long as others don't ride on their heads and shit, Bai Er will not choose to pay attention.

But it is obvious that there are always people who don't obey the constraints of the organizer.

As the convoy slowly drove from the stone road to the target point, the long-awaited sarcasm sounded in time as if it had been waiting on the roadside for a long time.

"I thought it was some kind of demon with three heads and six arms? Is it worth waiting for three days for such a small number of people?"

"I don't know what these people in the marginal areas are waiting for them for? It's not their turn to go mining, right?"

Two burly men with tattoos all over their bodies squatted on the side of the road, staring at the convoy and talking.

Although it sounded like they were chatting with each other, everyone knew that they were talking to the people in the convoy.

When they heard their words, the other people who were watching the show from a distance burst into a mess of laughter, and some even whistled, just wanting to see the two sides with bad tempers fight directly on the spot.

It wasn't them who started the matter, so they didn't mind adding fuel to the fire and stirring up some emotions.

"Restrain yourself!" The messenger captain who knew the situation in advance kept reminding in the voice, "This group of guys from the southern sea city have been affected by the nuclear radiation seawater, and their minds are not very clear. They have been guarding here since the first day they came, and they have to say a few words to everyone they see."

Not only their soldiers, but also their diplomatic team, are also arrogant.

"Understand." Bai E shook his head helplessly, pursed his lips, and ordered in his own voice team, "Ignore them."

Although the ten storm warrior boys were also very angry, they still locked the car windows unwillingly under Bai E's order.

If you don't hear it, you won't be annoyed. (End of this chapter)
