The city under the rain was divided into different shapes by different desires. Lorenzo walked on the street holding an umbrella he took from Buscaro's house.
There were shop doors open on the street, and the sound of a radio could be heard from inside. Some people were singing, some were commenting on current affairs, and some were reporting the weather forecast for the next day. These voices mixed together and turned into a pleasant song, echoing in the raindrops.
Looking at the pedestrians, their faces were obscured by the rain, and everyone was like a moving shadow, isolated by the heavy rain. The pleasant singing continued, and some people speculated that the rainy season was about to end, and then the joyful drumbeats sounded.
Lorenzo relaxed a little in the coolness. The host of the radio station seemed to be a pretty girl. She said that according to the solar terms of the old Dunling calendar, the rainy season should end within a week. After the rainy season, the civil airship will start its first trial operation, and everyone can book tickets and take to the sky together.
As Lorenzo moved forward, the girl's voice gradually faded away until it was drowned out by the heavy rain, but then another man's voice sounded, coming from the restaurant nearby.
The man was analyzing recent political affairs. The envoys from the Viking countries had a very pleasant conversation with Queen Victoria. Some people speculated that after this visit, a safe new route would be opened between Inglég and the Viking countries for trade.
This felt a bit strange, and Lorenzo began to understand what Oscar said.
With the development of communications, various advanced communication technologies are constantly expanding with Jiudunling as the source. People can get news from another city or even another country from newspapers and radio stations. Places that were once out of reach are now presented to everyone in the form of text.
But the world exists outside the door, at the end of the border, not in this city, nor should it be on paper.
For a moment, Lorenzo was actually moved and wanted to go somewhere other than Old Dunling. It was not because of the danger that might arise next, but simply because of his inner desire.
The Iron Snake slowly stopped beside the road sign, and Lorenzo and the pedestrians entered the car together. The old Dunling was very large, and with the continuous expansion over the years, the Iron Snake had become the main means of transportation in the city.
There was a slight sound, which sounded like snapping fingers, but it was soon drowned out by the roar of the iron snake. Lorenzo grabbed the handrail and squeezed in with the other passengers.
Because of the rain that fell again, the car windows were covered with tiny water droplets. Looking out from inside the car, the outside world was hazy, and the people in the car were swaying slightly as they moved along the tracks.
As an iron snake running in the city, it does not have a fixed track. If it wants, it can move to different tracks through the operating lever inside the car.
“Old Dunling is really good…”
A clear voice sounded, as if talking to himself, but also as if talking to Lorenzo.
Lorenzo turned his head and saw a passenger standing next to him. The passenger had a unique temperament, like the warm rising sun, and he always felt comfortable when facing him.
The man also looked at Lorenzo with a smile, and Lorenzo's somewhat serious face was reflected in the lens.
