I became the Martial Saint of the Wasteland

Chapter 46 Chapter 0046: The heavily guarded concession area [seeking follow-up reading]

The cover of night made them look like swift birds flying through the sky.

Only occasionally when it flies under the shadow of the moon, it will leave a large shadow on the ground.

Watching his brother and Rosen leave, Zhang Yuening lowered his head and glanced at the exoskeleton armor on his body.

Compared with the Z1 basic model, the Z2 urban garrison exoskeleton she wears is more tightly protected.

In addition to the chest protection plate, the limbs, waist, abdomen, shoulders and back also have lightweight bulletproof protection plates.

At the same time, the Z2 exoskeleton also has a horizontal lifting force of 2.15 tons and a pushing force of 2.43 tons.

Equivalent to a strength of more than 4000 kilograms with one arm, this strength has exceeded that of ordinary Yijin realm warriors.

And this magical armor is not a rune armor.

In Rosen’s words, this is the power of technology.

Technology was still an unfamiliar word in the Tianqing Dynasty and was classified into the category of strange, obscene and skillful techniques.

The "skill" in the slogan "Learn from foreigners and develop skills" that has emerged in recent years represents strange and skillful skills.

In fact, the Tianqing Dynasty still had no real awareness of the development of industry and technology.

It's not as good as those cutting-edge people who have studied abroad and seen the power of foreigners.

If not for the invitation a few years ago, Master Zhongtang went to North Asia and America for inspection.

After seeing the city with skyscrapers, he was shocked by the scene there. After returning to the court, he strongly supported learning from the barbarians to learn skills.

Otherwise, this vigorous industrialization movement would probably take a long time to get off the ground.

The decay of Tianqing is evident.

But Rosen, this young man of unknown origin and life experience, possesses such a powerful "technological" product.

It is impossible to say that Zhang Yuening was not shocked.

Her temperament is not as conservative as Zhang Zhenyu's, after all, she is a girl.

However, martial arts master Zhang Da taught the two brothers and sisters very well since they were young, and they were benevolent, righteous, courteous, wise and trustworthy.

She was in a daze for a while. Seeing that Rosen and her brother were flying far away, she took advantage of the situation and jumped up, approaching the concession area from another direction.

The height is more than 100 meters, which is equivalent to dozens of floors.

And with the cover of the light deflection field, it is really difficult to detect.

The airflow sound of the jet device is not loud, and at such a height it is completely covered up by the wind sound.

……

After ten minutes.

Rosen and Zhang Zhenyu landed on the terrace of a three-story foreign-style building outside the English concession area.

It is different from the old town of Jinmen.

The concession area is full of western-style houses.

Generous colonnades, neat red brick walls and Western-style fences can be seen everywhere.

Among the concession areas of all the great powers, England has the largest area.

In the final analysis, they are the main force knocking on the door of Tianjin.

During the day, the concession area is open to a limited extent for foreign businessmen to enter and exit.

A curfew was imposed at night.

Previously, many radical warriors had tried to sneak into the concession area to assassinate or sabotage.

This led to the tight security in the concession area under normal circumstances.

Guard towers and bunkers were built at the entrance to the concession area.

There were at least two teams of British soldiers carrying long guns stationed on their backs, and two square, multi-turret tanks were parked behind them. Thick steel plates were riveted to the frame. It seemed a little primitive to Rosen, but it also began to look like land. The king's ferocity.

The main gun is a 47mm three-pounder gun, and there are four auxiliary machine guns.

It looks like a large prismatic metal water tank.

Just as Rosen had learned before.

Foreigners in this world are a few decades ahead of Western weapons technology in history.

There are patrolling guards on the road.

Rosen even saw that the leader was actually a headless horseman.

It rides a bone horse shrouded in black armor and wears a heavy knight's full body armor.

Although it has no head, it can still maintain an upright riding posture.

A threaded knight's lance hangs on the side of the horse, a double-edged sword is hung on the left side of the waist, and a buckler hangs on the right arm.

The representative products of fantasy and technology are mixed together in this way, which is shocking.

The closer you get to the Concession Hall, the tighter the security along the way becomes.

Rosen observed the situation here through night vision telescopes before entering the concession area.

There are even vampires wandering in the air near the guild hall.

Searchlights were also lit on the ground, and twin 40mm bang-bang cannons were deployed.This thing was originally used on British battleships.

At this time, it was moved outside the Concession Hall.

It really is watertight.

The Concession Hall in Yingjili is much larger than imagined.

It is simply a manor that covers a huge area.

The outer wall is about five meters high and is surrounded by a circle of electricity grid.

There are many vehicles parked inside.

The first and second floors are both brightly lit.

This is not only the governor's residence, but also a secret laboratory and office building.

Today, Rosen and Zhang Zhenyu's mission is not to cause trouble but to investigate in advance.

Use the concession map obtained from the black market to complete the map with each other to ensure that the next day's actions are foolproof.

The two of them carefully lay down on the high point of the balcony of the bungalow.

The light deflection force field completely enveloped them.

It is difficult to detect their existence with the naked eye.

Unless there are spiritual cultivators, the risk of exposure is very low.

Of course, despite this, hidden dangers cannot be completely ruled out. I heard that vampires can use sound waves to detect.

This is also the reason why the two did not continue to get closer.

At this time, Rosen was lying on the edge of the terrace.

Holding a night vision telescope, he observed the situation in the concession manor.

Zhang Zhenyu held the steel shield by his side and squatted to look out for him.

The Concession Hall is still lively at night.

From time to time, soft-top "Nash" cars can be seen driving in and out.

Those who came and went by car included school officers wearing British military uniforms, as well as officials with neat suits and oily hair. Occasionally, researchers wearing white coats could be seen.

A pure vampire can actively hide the strange appearance.

Under normal circumstances, they look just like humans.

It's just that his face is a little pale.

And things like the Headless Horseman are proper thugs.

It seems to reveal a vigorous atmosphere.

I watched like this for several hours.

Until the sky lit up fish belly white.

The vampires wandering in the sky fell one after another.

Not long after, these guys actually started flying again with umbrellas.

They hate sunlight, but that doesn't mean they can't move around in it at all.

This observation is almost complete.

When the two were about to leave.

Several carriages covered with black cloth drove into the concession.

Rosen noticed that the guards let these carriages go without even checking them.

These carriages drove straight into the Concession Hall and stopped inside.

Several masked men jumped out of the carriage at the right time and neatly tore off the black cloth covering the carriage frame.

Several large iron cages were exposed, and all the twisted things inside were young children.

In one of the iron cages, there was a young man in a coma wearing a monk's robe!

……

　In fact, there is a historical precedent for the demonization of foreigners.

　　In the Qing Dynasty, when faced with the swarming "foreign devils", Chinese scholars first thought of the ancient mythological works "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Huainanzi".

　　When the Qianlong Emperor was still in his prime, the great scholar Ji Xiaolan compared legendary places in Europe with the records in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

　　According to this logic, it is difficult for the residents living there to escape the half-human and half-ghost images in the "Book of Mountains and Seas".

　　For example, Lu Songcai, a Jiangsu poet who lived before and after the Opium War, "demonized" the British in his "Reflections on Jiangzhou": "The white ones are real ghosts, with bird-like voices, long shins, hairy faces, and green eyes." Gu."

　　The poet Wang Zhongyang, who lived almost at the same time as Lu Song, also used the same pen and ink when describing the British: "The eagle-mouthed cat-like eyes and beards are red, and the brocade is wrapped around the legs to the waist." His small note says: "The British are barbarians. Their legs are extremely long, wrapped in green cloth, standing upright and unable to leap forward. Their eyes are blue, and they dare not open their eyes for fear of the sun." The images of foreigners described by the poet are basically similar to monsters.

　　The so-called Rosa (Rakshasa) ghost has almost the same origin.

　　Also: The British tank prototype in the book is the A1E1 independent tank. Interested book friends can use keyword search to view prototype pictures.
