Now, the convoy was on a hillside, with a road running along the hillside towards the town. At regular intervals on the road, there were signs. On those signs, which were supposed to be green, there were some symbols painted in white paint.
Some of the symbols were very close to the numbers Tianyang was familiar with, and they appeared on the road, so Lao Xu, who was known as a man with a reverse-world skill, guessed that these symbols were used to display distance.
Because there are many road signs like this on the roads leading to the metropolis.
Looking from a high place, one could only vaguely see the outlines of some buildings in the town shrouded in black fog.
However, judging from the several small towns that Night Walker has explored, towns like this are generally far smaller than metropolises.
Although some of the buildings inside are high-rise or skyscrapers with several floors, they are far inferior to the skyscrapers in the metropolis that have dozens of floors.
However, like the metropolis, there are obviously no protective fortifications around these small towns, let alone weapons. This makes people sigh that although the world has become a horrible place now, the residents living here once had a long period of peace and happiness.
After staying on the high slope for a while, the two Falcon chariots began to go downhill towards Huanggu Town.
After driving down the ramp for 10 minutes, the two tanks had to stop because there was a building similar to a checkpoint at the entrance of the town.
The building was of course abandoned, and due to age it collapsed, blocking the road.
There are checkpoints like this in the metropolis, and there are more of them and they are larger in scale, so Tianyang and others are not unfamiliar with them.
The checkpoint in the metropolis is obviously of better quality, and many entrances are still usable. But this one, it looks like it will have to be cleaned up first, otherwise the car won't be able to get in at all.
"Captain, did you fire a cannon?" Cangdu, who was in charge of driving the tank, turned around and looked at Han Shu.
Han Shu shook his head: "No, it will make too much noise. What if there are a lot of illegal people inside? Wouldn't we be digging a hole for ourselves to fall into?"
He thought for a moment and said, "Tianyang, Lao Xu, take a few people to the town first to see where is suitable for setting up a temporary camp nearby. We will clean this up and then go over to meet you."
"good."
"no problem."
Tianyang and Lao Xu answered in unison.
Next, the two of them brought three soldiers
Soldiers squeezed through some gaps in the ruins of the checkpoint and entered the town.
The town was shrouded in thick fog, probably because it was located in a valley. The black fog that was omnipresent in the Reverse Realm gathered here in large quantities, causing visibility to be very low.
Tianyang held up the assault rifle and installed a tactical lighting accessory on it. Even so, the light could only barely reach two or three meters away.
Coming from the checkpoint, there is a highway with car wreckage everywhere on it, which shows that the former world of the opposite world had a very developed transportation system. Even in a small town, there are so many vehicles.
And judging from the car models, the residents of the opposite world seem to have designed cars into several types to meet different needs.
This shows that there is a clear division of labor in the social system of the Reverse World, and the heights they have achieved in this regard are even higher than those of the fortress cities.
After walking for about 10 minutes along this road full of vehicle wreckage and broken road surface, a bridge appeared in front of the team, spanning a thick fog, and it was unknown where it led to.
"The productivity of the Reverse Realm is far superior to ours, which can be seen from this bridge alone. We can't build such a large and long bridge. Of course, the lack of need is also a reason." Old Xu looked at the bridge that was looming in the black fog, feeling quite emotional.
Tianyang made a gesture, indicating that he was scouting ahead. There were three soldiers in the middle, and Lao Xu was responsible for covering the rear.
The team walked onto the bridge. The bridge deck was unexpectedly spacious, with a metal partition in the middle dividing the bridge into two halves.
Even so, half of the bridge deck can still accommodate two vehicles at the same time.
Tianyang walked along the edge of the bridge. Suddenly, in the light, behind the fog, several black shadows appeared, extending diagonally upwards.
When he got closer, he saw that they were actually cables, two of which were broken. Judging from the broken parts, these cables should be made of some kind of metal wire.
The closer he walked to the bridge, the more Tianyang heard gusts of wind coming from under the bridge.
Although the light could not illuminate the space under the bridge at all, from the sound of the wind, one could roughly infer that the space under the bridge was huge, and it might be a crack leading to the underground abyss.
One soldier suggested throwing a few glow sticks under the bridge to see what happens, but Old Xu immediately rejected the suggestion: "Whenever you encounter a huge space in the Reverse Realm, you must be careful, because you don't know what is hidden inside it."
After hearing this, the soldier felt a little scared.
The arch bridge was broken in the middle section, and one-third of the bridge deck disappeared. Long and short rusty steel bars were spread across the irregular edges.
The team carefully bypassed the gap and finally walked down the bridge after 20 minutes.
Coming down from the bridge, there is a large open space whose purpose is unknown, but it can be used as a temporary campsite.
While Tianyang led the soldiers to set up a cordon around the area, Lao Xu fiddled with an electronic board.
A map of the team's exploration route has been made on the electronic board, and Lao Xu is marking it. He especially marked the warning sign of the gap on the bridge and the location of the temporary camp, and then sent the map to Han Shu.
With it, Han Shu could come over without the team having to turn back and lead the way.
The cordon had been set up, and Tianyang and three soldiers came back. Lao Xu threw a kettle to him and said, "The captain and the others will be here soon. Take a break."
Taking the kettle, Tianyang was not polite and took a few sips before saying, "Brother Xu, you should have a family, so why do you still live in an apartment?"
Anyway, Han Shu and the others would arrive in a while, so Old Xu didn't mind chatting for a while, and said, "That was all in the past. You know, once you become a senior citizen, as long as you accumulate a certain amount of contribution points, you can have the right to establish a clan."
Tianyang nodded: "If the accumulated contribution points exceed 100,000, you can establish your own family. Your descendants have the right to inherit the relevant rights and interests..."
"Yes, but the fortress also has regulations. The right of inheritance is limited to three generations. Starting from the fourth generation, 10,000 contribution points must be obtained every year. Otherwise, the inheritance right will be revoked." Old Xu shrugged, "Unfortunately, I was injured in a mission a few years ago and took half a year to recover. As a result, I couldn't get enough contribution points, so I could no longer maintain my inheritance rights and had to move into an apartment."
"By the way, Cangdu's situation is similar to mine. It's just that I don't have anything to pursue anymore, but that guy wants to accumulate 100,000 contribution points so that he can restore his original surname."
Tianyang was quite surprised that the young man with a ponytail had such ambitions.
"Something's happening!"
Suddenly, the soldiers' shouts came from a distance.
Tianyang and Lao Xu didn't bother to chat anymore, they picked up their rifles and hurried over.
PS: Good morning everyone, it's a new week again, shamelessly asking for support! Monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, collections! Anything is fine, throw it at me!
