Before we begin, Zach's transportation plan for his 'business trip' should be announced. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
First is the train, from Patton to the westernmost city in the eastern part of the Commonwealth. Partly because of the change of transportation, and partly to see what Sibella was doing there, I didn’t want to go home.
Then, use the urban public transportation system, the country's most basic method of ground transportation, to go to the southern port and board the ship. Zach has no desire to step on, be in, pass by, or even let appear in his field of vision... the land belonging to the Secret Alliance. Or, should we say, lands that once belonged to the Secret Alliance. Childish principle, but irrelevant.
Finally, reach the Sabbat login. That's something Zach doesn't have to worry about. The information Zach got is that there will be an honor guard composed of second-generation Zmich to welcome him.
Well, is it necessary to care about the authenticity of this information now? No. So, let's get started, the real story.
The train has just crossed the border of Barton West and entered the city limits of Newton. The thimble in Zach's pocket uttered words that only Zach could hear, "We just passed the place where Benjamin and Mokavi instantly killed the alien wolves."
Zach tilted his head and glanced out the window, "What a pity, our large mobilization force is waiting just ahead."
Does anyone realize what they are saying
It was the first invasion that Barton encountered after Sibera's city law barrier was removed. It was wiped out before it even started.
"What did you say??" Dale Walker's body slightly crossed Zach's personal boundary and leaned toward Zach, "What did you just say?"
"No." Zach pushed Dale back and sat upright, leaning against the high-class seat that was objectively very comfortable. There are only three such carriages in the entire train, including a special dining car. The reason why it is special is that half of the dining car is a mini bar that serves real alcohol 24 hours a day.
If Zach hadn't felt that Sabbat probably wouldn't reimburse the bill marked as 'alcohol', Zach would have gone to the bar by now.
The reason Zach doesn't want to sit in his seat? Dell, the new employee who inexplicably has to follow him on official business? No.
It's this carriage.
Under normal circumstances, given the geographic location of Patton, which was originally the easternmost city in the Federation, it would be impossible for the starting train to be so full. This was contrary to common sense. But the current Barton is not considered normal, right? All kinds of people crowded into this train starting from Patton.
Give a few examples.
The seat in front of Zach was a couple who communicated in Republican throughout the whole process...husband and wife or brother and sister, Zach couldn't tell yet. The two chattered while holding a rather exquisite atlas, marking various confusing marks on the huge federal map. Just when Zach was very, very confused as to why the manor in the middle of the country that once belonged to the Toledo Clan Assembly was marked so accurately by this pair of republicans, uh, brother and sister or husband and wife, that he couldn't control his expression to reveal his emotions at the same time. Dell gave the following comments
"Hmph! Tourists who were deceived. It is said that the manor was the origin of the slave liberation movement a century ago." Everyone can imagine Zach's expression. "The legend is that a massacre occurred there a century ago, and a gang of The man who foresaw that slavery would definitely change was killed by a group of conservatives. For a month, every night, people could hear the screams filling the surrounding towns. Huh. But in fact! There was no such thing at all. Thing! There is no documentary record, no official record, nothing! Just a very old, extravagant, uh, gorgeous, beautiful manor, built for itself in order to attract tourists! Only complete outsiders will be attracted by this kind of story. The story deceives!”
"Have you been there?" Zach asked.
Dale didn't answer.
This was just the first instance of Zach being uncomfortable in his seat, what about the second. bring it on.
Seated only a section of the hallway away, sat a family with what sounded like central Federation accents. extended family. Parallel to Zach, and very unfortunately, are the children and parents who seem to need the most discipline.
Thanks to this child, Zach never enjoyed a moment of silence from the moment he got in the car. But since none of the guests in this area expressed any dissatisfaction, Zach could only remain silent.
Fortunately, parents have basic self-awareness. Finally, the child started shouting inexplicably that he hated winter. He hated the cold. Maybe it was just a bad time for the family trip, and the child didn't know the nature of the problem he should be complaining about. So he could only shout about such willful things, and his father stood up.
What’s surprising is not that he yelled back with his father’s authority, but
"You don't like winter? So what do you suggest? Well? Should we shrink the earth's orbit around the sun? xx (name), think back, what was our family project last year? Is the earth orbiting in four seasons? Relationship? Remember? Why do we have winter? Use your brain and think about my question! Why do we have winter! By the way, because we are at the aphelion point in our orbit! We are far away from the sun! So we will Cold! So back to your question. You don’t want winter, so what’s the solution?”
"I know! Shrink the Earth's orbit! We won't have winter now!"
God, come and see the miracle, this kid is eating a set! Did you find out? He has been manipulated by his father. He thought he came up with this 'genius solution'!
"Great! Now! Here's paper, pen, sit here and complete your solution!"
Zach isn't the only one watching this. Someone on a certain seat raised a hand and said with an eastern accent, "I'm just curious, well, is this true? If the winter gets warmer, won't the summer be hotter? I mean... the kind that kills people. hot."
"Yes." The father nodded, facing his child who was already quietly drawing, "So xx, did you hear that uncle's discovery? Your solution must not only be narrowing, but also expanding. There is a way! Otherwise, everyone will die!"
"But, but, I, I don't want everyone to die..." Is he going to cry?
"Then you better come up with a perfect solution!"
"yes!"
The father nodded with satisfaction, and then said to all the passengers who were looking at him, "He is the stupidest one in the family, don't tell him."
All laughed. Except Zach.
Why
Do vampires ever care about Earth's orbit? Have vampires made any connection between the seasons and the sun? Have vampires ever tried to find a solution like the child who was dubbed 'the stupidest in the family' because of their dissatisfaction with the environment? …
No, not at all.
As a race that lives forever in this world... I'm ashamed. This is how Zach really feels.
Two examples.
One more... No chance. Something that only Zach could see flew past the window, indicating that this was Newton's territory.
