Chapter 54 K18

After Chen Ling woke up, he checked the time, which was about the same as expected.

He walked to the headquarters of the District 3 Law Enforcers, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a familiar figure walking over.

"Chen Ling? You're finally here." Jiang Qin counted the list, "Now we're all here..."

Chen Ling still had an impression of Jiang Qin, the law enforcer. On the night when the house was destroyed by the red paper monster, it was Jiang Qin who asked him about it, and also said that he could always find him if he had any problems in the future. He was one of the few law enforcers that Chen Ling had a good impression of.

Chen Ling glanced around, and apart from himself and Jiang Qin, there were only two people, both of whom were in the reserve seats for the martial arts test together, so they looked familiar.

"Captain Jiang Qin, are we the only ones going this time?"

Chen Ling and the other two reserve seats are the top three in this year's law enforcer exam. According to Han Meng's agreement, they are naturally qualified to go to Bingdao Ancient Treasures, but it stands to reason that in addition to them, there should be other old law enforcers who are in their three-year term to go...

"Yes, just a few of us." Jiang Qin shrugged, "Originally, there were five or six of my peers going together, but two days ago, their collusion with Ma Zhong was exposed and they were all killed by Mengge..."

Chen Ling:...

"The situation in our third district is already good... Look at the law enforcers in the fifth and sixth districts, they are either dead or disabled, and the total number of those who can go is less than five."

Jiang Qin is quite optimistic. He put away the personnel list and walked straight out with Chen Ling and the other two.

"Captain Jiang Qin, how should we go to Bingdao Ancient Treasures?" asked a law enforcer who was in the same period as Chen Ling. Chen Ling remembered his name, which seemed to be Zhong Yaoguang.

"The ancient military treasure is in the frozen sea on the northern border of the Aurora Realm. If you want to get there, you can only take a boat from the port."

"Winter Port? That's a long way away..."

"It's actually okay to take a train."

"Train?"

Chen Ling was stunned. He thought there was no such thing as a train in this era, but after thinking carefully, if it was a steam train, it really didn't require too much science and technology... It's just that he was originally in Frost Street and had never heard of anyone around him riding it.

"Yes, Chen Ling, haven't you ridden it before?" Zhong Yaoguang's eyes lit up, "If you see it for the first time, you will be surprised... That thing is amazing!"

"I haven't ridden it either... The ticket price for this thing is not cheap." Another colleague who had been silent spoke up.

"Don't worry, Mengge will reimburse the ticket money this time."

Jiang Qin smiled slightly.

The three followed Jiang Qin all the way to the border of District 3. A straight railway track extended from the snow in the distance. In front of everyone, a platform was short and dilapidated.

It's called a platform, but it's actually a big shed on the ground with a few stone steps. Next to it stands a small ticket booth with a huge "3" written on it.

For most residents of the Aurora Realm, especially those in the seven districts, there is no need to take the train. They can spend their whole lives in the streets, and they don't have the concept of "traveling" to other districts...

The development of the seven districts is basically carved out of the same mold, and it's the same everywhere.

The laying of the railway tracks is more for the convenience of material transportation between Aurora City and the seven districts, so it's natural that the platform and other settings are simple.

Jiang Qin walked to the ticket booth, and after a while, he came with four tickets.

"Wait a minute, the train will come in more than ten minutes."

"We're almost in time, this train only runs once a day, if we miss it, it's over."

The four of them walked to the platform. In the open wilderness, except for the ticket booth, there were only four of them freezing in the cold wind.

The snow had just melted, and the platform was leaking air from all sides. Everyone silently hunched their necks, staring at the end of the track, waiting for a train to come and save them.

"How is it, Chen Ling? Are you cold?" Jiang Qin's concerned voice sounded from the side, "I see you are wearing very little."

"Not cold." Chen Ling shook her head.

"If you are cold, I can get you some clothes from the box. You have to go to the ancient Tibetan training in Bingdao later. Don't catch a cold on the way."

Without waiting for Chen Ling to answer, Jiang Qin squatted down, opened the hard leather suitcase on the spot, and started to search.

"Really not necessary." Chen Ling waved her hand quickly, "I have a good physique and can resist cold..."

Without waiting for him to refuse, Jiang Qin took out a dark brown coat and wrapped it around Chen Ling without saying a word.

"I'm the captain of the third zone this time, listen to me." Jiang Qin patted his shoulder, "But it's okay even if you catch a cold on the way. I brought four cold medicines before leaving, which should be enough."

"...Thank you."

Chen Ling wrapped in a thick windproof coat, didn't know what to say for a moment.

"You're welcome." Jiang Qin stood beside him, hesitated for a moment, and still spoke,

"Chen Ling...some things are not what you think...Mengge is a very good person, but he is stubborn, and he is very impersonal when working, and he is too lazy to explain any misunderstandings to others...

Mengge and I had already noticed what Ma Zhong and the other three district law enforcement officers did, but we had no evidence... Moreover, Ma Zhong had a backer in Aurora City. Without evidence, Mengge could not touch him at all.

We are really sorry about your brother's matter. "

Jiang Qin looked at him sincerely, without any impurities in his eyes. Chen Ling did not expect him to say this suddenly, and fell silent in the cold wind.

"... I guessed it."

If Ma Zhong did not have a backer, he would not be able to develop the black industry so unscrupulously in Districts 2 and 3. Han Meng was just a law enforcement officer excluded by Aurora City. It was not so easy for him to overthrow the powerful Ma Zhong party.

"This time, Ma Zhong took the initiative to seek death and tried to assassinate Mengge, so he seized the excuse to uproot them... But even so, Mengge was punished by Aurora City. "

Jiang Qin sighed, "Do you know? If it weren't for the large-scale intersection of the gray world in Districts 5 and 6, Mengge would have been in jail long ago... It's because Aurora City is extremely short of manpower now that he has not been dealt with for the time being, but even so, he has been suspended. "

"Jail?" Chen Ling frowned, "Isn't he a victim?"

"There are many people in Aurora City who don't like Mengge... In this era, people who are too upright and too serious will hardly have a good ending."

As soon as Jiang Qin finished speaking, a roar came from a distance.

"The train is coming!" Zhong Yaoguang said immediately.

"... So fast?" Jiang Qin turned around and looked at the clock in the middle of the platform, "Ten minutes early?"

As the thunderous roar gradually approached, a black steel behemoth on the snowy rails, spewing a lot of steam, slowly drove towards the platform.

Zhong Yaoguang on the side nudged Chen Ling with his elbow and winked, "How is it? Spectacular, right? "

Chen Ling raised her eyebrows but said nothing.

"K18... yes, this is the one." Jiang Qin looked at the ticket, glanced at the number on the front of the train, and nodded slightly, "It seems that we are indeed early."

As the train gradually came to a stop, the attendant opened the door and walked out, putting a road board between the stone steps and the door,

"To Winter Harbor, get on board. "

After the attendant shouted, everyone got on the train without hesitation.

As the whistle blew again, the train started slowly along the rails, and gradually disappeared at the end of the snow-white horizon with a clanging sound...

A few minutes later, a figure walked out of the ticket booth.

He glanced at the empty platform, his mouth slightly raised, and then dragged a blood-stained black cloth bag from the bottom of the booth counter and walked away.

Clang-clang-clang...

A black steel train passed through the snow and slowly stopped at the platform.

A attendant stuck his head out of the car, looked around, and then said: "There is no one at this station, let's go."

The hum of steam sounded again, and the train gradually disappeared at the end of the rails. On the top of the black locomotive, three large characters sprayed with red paint were clearly visible
