Chapter 11 Welcome Home
The steam locomotive was speeding all the way, although the dashboard could not be seen, but from the wind speed blowing, Xu Le guessed that the speed of the car should not be slow.

Leaning against the window, Xu Le saw some abandoned towns.

There are various buildings on both sides of the road, and there are some dilapidated stone blast furnaces and wooden windmills around the town.

Judging from these two, this township used to have some simple forging metallurgy technology.

There is even a stone bridge railway beside the river, which should be a former transportation channel.

However, this kind of railway does not correspond to the steam train railway in the memory of the original owner, so it should not be a product of this era.

Looking at these buildings with different styles, Xu Le couldn't even tell what era it was.

"The era that was once abandoned..."

"Hey, Xu Le, do you want some water?"

Bai Jing handed over a bottle of water, interrupting Xu Le's train of thought, Xu Le struggled for a while, but still took the water bottle.

Before Xu Le could take a few sips of water, Bai Jing's eyes suddenly became mysterious.

"Do you feel relieved to burn that person's body?"

"Uh, cough, cough!"

Xu Le choked on a big mouthful of water and coughed a lot before recovering.

Of course, there is also some meaning of delaying time. He needs a little time to think about how to deal with Bai Jing's problem.

"I actually..."

"You don't need to explain to me, Xu Le, life is very long.

We will encounter many, many things and make many choices, some of which are correct and some of which are wrong.

No matter what choice we make, we have to keep going.

We're going after the light, aren't we? "

Xu Le's eyes flickered slightly. He didn't quite understand the meaning of Bai Jing's incarnation as a life mentor at this time, talking to him so much.

threatened him?The strength gap between the two sides is too great, it seems that there is no need for this.

Since it was unlikely to be a threat, what did she mean?
Combined with the previous situation, solicit?

Is it necessary to be so cryptic?

"I don't quite understand what the captain's words mean."

"Ha ha!"

Bai Jing smiled, as if Lao Cong's fingers brushed Xu Le's neckline, and finally stopped on Xu Le's chest.

This action is not a tease, but a real pressure.

Bai Jing's fingers pressed on Xu Le's wound.

Xu Le backed away in pain and almost fell to the ground.

"This wound is a musket wound, Weird doesn't know how to use firearms, do you understand, Mr. Xu Le.

There was also a wound on the back of the dead man's heart, which was obviously pierced by a dagger.

These scars will not change even if they become living corpses.

The murder weapon should be this dagger, right? "

Bai Jing took out Xu Le's dagger, shook it in front of Xu Le, and put it away again:
"This thing needs to be confiscated after it is brought back. Do you want me to continue talking about the others?"

"No need." Xu Le shook his head helplessly.

Explain that Lao Zhou didn't kill himself?How to explain?Could it be that there is another Xu Le?

Moreover, the information, strength, background, and status of the two parties are not equal.

Questions like this don't make any sense.

"Don't be nervous, Xu Le, you are an ordinary person who can survive in the dark alone.

Even being able to kill a monstrosity on his own is quite the feat.

No, in fact, from the moment you can see how polluted ancient sounds are, you are no longer an ordinary person. "

"What exactly does Captain Bai want to tell me?"

"As a person who has experienced it, shouldn't it be right to remind young people how to go on the road ahead?"

Do you mean to feed him chicken soup?Who was Xu Le afraid of writing a small composition?
He pondered for a while, his eyes gradually moved out of the window, and his eyes gradually became empty:

"Captain Bai, do you know? A scholar once said this.

We should never put unrealistic expectations on the things we value, and add marginal value.

Because the only certainty in life is an uncertain life. "

Sure enough, this passage still gave Bai Jing some shock, she nodded slowly.

"The scholar you mentioned must be a remarkable person."

"I think so."

Bai Jing stared at Xu Le for a while, while Xu Le looked out the window.

It's almost enough to say a few words of chicken soup, but he doesn't dare to look at a powerful night watchman.

"Okay, we are going back to the lighthouse, let's get ready for inspection."

Seeing Bai Jing look away, Xu Le turned to look forward.

A huge tower appeared in front of the field of vision.

The tower goes straight to the top of the cloud, while the buildings around the tower present a circular layout, advancing outward layer by layer.

The urban area in the inner layer is very prosperous, and the main colors are gold and blue classical Central Asian houses.

Among the gold-inlaid roofs that can be seen everywhere, some buildings even exceed 20 floors, which is very rare in the Quaternary Era.

This prosperity continued until the location of the central moat.

The area within the moat is collectively referred to as the upper city.

Outside the moat, with the outward development of the urban circle, the style and shape of the buildings are much worse.

The place close to the moat is okay, but it's hard to say anything further outside.

Buildings are getting shorter and shorter, except for East Asian, Gothic, and Classical styles.

There are more and more buildings that are slightly weird and can't tell the style.

Xu Le really didn't see any beauty in the kind of building that was deliberately designed as a toilet or poop.

All kinds of graffiti cover most of the buildings, and some of these graffiti are advertisements and slogans.

Another part is pure spoofing, cursing, debt collection, and the most terrible gangster blood book.

On the outermost layer of the city, most of the buildings are earth or wooden huts.

Here is the downtown area under the lighthouse where Xu Le lived.

However, this is not the outermost part of the city, and further outside, there is a towering city wall.

This layer of city wall is a long distance away from the human settlements, and its function is very simple, that is, it can block most of the low-level weirdness that wanders.

The city wall has a total of four gates in the southeast, north and west, which are used to check the residents who enter and exit the city on weekdays.

It also has the effect of releasing the pressure of the Kuroshio during the night of the Kuroshio.

The city wall is far away from the human area, so even if it is dark here on weekdays, it will not naturally produce more weirdness.

The lighthouse is one of the four strongholds of human safety.

It has the most ridiculous resource allocation, the most rigid promotion channels, and the most straightforward division of regions.

The gap between the upper city and the lower city is like a natural moat.

But even so, it is one of the few lights in this dark age.

Seeing this unreal city just like in memory, Xu Le murmured:
"What an incredible city."

"Yeah, it's our home."

"When I go back, what do I need to prepare?"

Bai Jing turned her head, and then showed a malicious smile.

"Grit your teeth and survive."

"what?"

The steam car stopped outside the city wall.

There is another system of lighthouse night watchmen here, the lighthouse guards.

Although the two are one system and different departments, there is no strong competitive relationship between the two.

So there are no bloody conflicts on weekdays.

After seeing Bai Jing and their team, a guard immediately stepped forward to salute.

And Bai Jing also stepped forward and gave a lighthouse tie salute to the guard.

"Squad 6 Bai Jing, all members return to the team."

"Welcome home, Captain Bai Jing."
