On the second day, someone brought breakfast early.
This left several people who were still adjusting to the jet lag full of questions.
Qiao Shuya asked Abiduo, but the waiter said that Abiduo left the capital because of something.
Qiao Shuya no longer hesitated, but began to prepare to take away the girl named "Black Rabbit", and then left this area that seemed to be full of deathly silence and crying.
I spent a lot of time shopping here yesterday, and the current situation in Romania can be said to be extremely bad.
Qiao Shuya was thinking of the place during the defense of Moscow during World War II.
The situation in Bucharest now is even worse, because what they are facing is the entire Middle East and African continent that have fallen into a hotbed of strange demons. They are facing countless people who will not be afraid or feel. A painful monster.
Qiao Shuya began to wonder whether he should really use his few contacts to start recruiting some reinforcements here.
In Qiao Shuya's impression, Romania should have been a tourist country with beautiful mountains and clear waters and pleasant scenery.
It has a complete and tragic history, a suitable climate, and people who live in peace with the world. It has even joined the Silk Road and the One Road Initiative.
It belongs to the kind of small European country that people have in their typical impression.
But now in Romania, Qiaoshua only feels deathly silence and despair.
"Today I'm going to find the little black rabbit kid. I hope she is a normal child. I originally wanted to let Abi take you to find out if there are any tourism projects here." Qiao Shuya spread his hands. .
Originally, this mission gave me plenty of time, which was considered a hidden benefit of the association, as it was prepared to allow the watchers to travel while they were doing their mission.
But now, this travel opportunity may be wasted.
"I'll take it with you. I'm a half-acquaintance here." Lao Chen patted his chest.
This is his third time here. Although he doesn’t know much about this place as the locals do, he still knows it better than the other problem children who look confused.
The plan was decided like this. Lao Chen took the problem children on a trip, while Qiao Shuya went to find another problem child alone.
When Qiao Shuya left, the two little guys touched the panda's belly with great interest.
"Huahua, where are you going? Is there any place to play here?" Yuan Zhiai asked.
"Yes, quite a few. Romania was originally a tourist country, but now there are still many things built back then." Old Chen said with a smile.
"Ladies, I suggest you go to the city museum first. The tourist attractions you mentioned outside the city may be in danger at any time. We can no longer guarantee whether any strange monsters have bypassed the defense lines and come in." The waiter was very calm. said.
"Ah..." Lao Chen suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Then let's go to the museum! I want to see vampires! Knight armor! And Countess Bloody Mary!" Yuan Zhiai was very excited.
However, when she said this, the waiter's expression suddenly fell, as if he was about to hit someone.
To Romanians, this sentence is just like saying naughty to dark-skinned people, or squinting to Asians.
The last thing Romanians hear about is vampires.
However, the waiter didn't say anything. Instead, he led several people to the museum in accordance with professional ethics. He just reminded before leaving: "It's best not to talk about vampires here, otherwise it will be considered discriminatory by the locals, which may cause Unnecessary conflict.”
Yuan Zhi'ai immediately nodded and covered her mouth.
After the waiter left, the group started shopping.
Armor and spears from the ancient Romanian period, as well as the statue of the one with wooden stakes in front of it.
They all learned about Vlad III yesterday, the name of the Grand Duke of Romania, the name of the man who led Romania to resist invasion.
This Grand Duke is a bit similar to Bai Qi in Area 2. He drove hundreds of thousands of prisoners to death with wooden stakes, and then hung them on the top of the city and outside the city wall, frightening the attacking enemy troops and creating the most precious treasure for the country. breathing space.
Because of this, the archduke became the vampire Dracula.
Yes, Vlad III is the prototype of the vampire, the first vampire, Dracula.
Because the act of impaling prisoners was too cruel, he became the spokesperson of the devil in all subsequent literary and artistic works on Europa. Over time, Vlad III was rumored to be the vampire Dracula.
Such was the life of the Grand Duke.
Seeing this, Yuan Zhiai and the others finally understood why people in District 17 couldn't listen to vampires.
Because vampires themselves are what Europeans stigmatize them.
Then it seems that apart from the achievements of Vlad III, there are not many things left in this museum. After all, Romania has always been a conquered and dependent country in its subsequent history, and these things are not of interest to them.
Until the tour guide took them to another place.
"What is here?" Yuan Zhi'ai looked at the objects full of modern industrial atmosphere, and his head was filled with questions.
"This is the history of the establishment of the 17th District Defense Line." the tour guide said calmly.
Suddenly, everyone became interested.
Romania has a history beyond its past. The most important thing is the high wall rising into the sky.
What was on the wall was a masterpiece that the rest of them found incredible.
After listening to the introduction of history, several people unconsciously became involved.
"Fifty years ago, District 17 was originally a small country with little reputation, relying on resource exports and tourism development. Because of its pleasant climate, it once became a resort.
However, the Cataclysm began. "
When she said this, everyone else could understand.
Cataclysm, this is when subspace rifts begin to erode, and strange demons begin to invade.
"Romania itself is very weak, but the countries in the south are even more weak and chaotic. The only good thing is that when Romania asked for help from the outside world, one of the five permanent members responded." As she spoke, she pointed to a carved Flag statue with sickle and axe.
Old Chen was shocked.
At first she thought it was France or Romania from the British gang, but later she thought it might be District 3.
But I didn’t expect that it was my hometown!
"With the help of those volunteers who came over, Romania withstood the first wave of the most difficult attacks. Then others were able to free up their hands, and then gradually began to build an iron wall in our capital that was strong enough to withstand the strange demons. .”
Having said this, the tour guide also seemed very proud.
Because this is the line of defense that their fathers spent their lives and blood on, as well as the peace in the rear.
"And in the catastrophe, everything changed, order collapsed, and the government collapsed. Romania relied on the defense line that everyone worked hard to resist, and in the middle of the war, a saint stood up.
It was a woman who held a bayonet in her hand and tied a flag to the barrel. She led everyone to resist the attacks of the strange demons wave after wave. And on the battlefield, she only needed to put the flag Standing in it, all warriors will not be afraid of pain, death, or erosion, and will gain a huge increase in strength.
Even in the later stages of the war, a faint halo appeared above the saint's head, and some people behind her said they saw wings that resembled tentacles of thorns. And her brilliance shone throughout the battlefield and the sky, stepping into the battle line, leading the people to resist the defense line, and blocking all the strange demons from the capital.
That saint is the first-generation great priest and current founder of the Vlad family, Eldelia Vlad. "
She finished telling this story without stopping, which made everyone present fascinated.
"It feels like I'm listening to the story of Joan of Arc, except that the great priest died heroically in the end, while Joan of Arc was stabbed in the back by her teammates." Lao Chen also sighed.
"It feels like I'm listening to the story of Joan of Arc, except that the great priest died heroically in the end, while Joan of Arc was stabbed in the back by her teammates." Lao Chen also sighed.
They all know the rest of the story. The current Vlad family may not have much to do with the Grand Duke Vlad III, but they have inherited the spirit of Vlad III and the surname at the same time. Leading people to resist strange demons.
Until, the saint's descendants were almost extinct.
Then there were some cannon models, as well as weapons and records left over from the war, and the group looked at them slowly.
During the war that lasted for more than fifty years, there were too many heroes in Area 17. The remaining areas here all record the lives and stories of those heroes.
Other places may forget here, but Romania, at least they themselves have not forgotten their heroes.
…
Qiao Shuya came to a two-story house based on the information provided by the association, but it seemed like no one lived here.
There are no high-rise buildings in Romania. Most of them are two- and three-story buildings, and they especially like to put red tiles on the roofs.
"I'm looking for Ashley. Is she in this family?" Qiao Shuya asked.
Black Rabbit Ashley, female, 15 years old, was said to be a girl raised by a single father, and then her father died on the battlefield.
Her ability is suspected to be animal conversation, and she can have certain communication with animals.
Qiao Shuya has always felt that the role of this ability is very limited, but now that it has been awakened, it is better to see if there is any potential for subsequent development.
"She joined the army." A neighbor slowly opened a crack in the door and said calmly.
"When?" Qiao Shuya asked.
"A few months ago, she directly joined the army to guard the defense line." The neighbor continued to add.
Qiao Shuya was silent, a fifteen-year-old girl, going to the defense line...
District 17, is the defense line already in such a precarious state...
Qiao Shuya didn't say anything more, he was going to go directly to the defense line to take a look.
"Are you a watchman from outside the district to support us?" the old man said.
"Yes." Qiao Shuya lied.
"Then... wait..." The old man seemed to have returned to the house. Soon, he brought over an umbrella and a bag of dried peanuts.
"Your Excellency, Watcher, you may not know much about the weather here. No matter how nice the weather is, you have to hold an umbrella. There are some little peanuts here, please take them."
"Thank you." Qiao Shuya took the umbrella and dried peanuts.
He still felt that it was quite novel. After all, it was the first time that a strange ordinary person gave something to him like this.
He waved and left, preparing to go to the front to see the situation.
"Boom!"
In an instant, heavy rain covered the city without any warning or any foreplay.
Qiao Shuya held an umbrella and put peanuts in his pocket.
Just drying the peanuts, Qiao Shuya ate them with gusto.
He held an umbrella alone and walked toward the defense line.
Large raindrops splashed to the ground, pedestrians hurried on the road, vehicles passed by, and the bright lights of the cars cut through the dark sky.
It rained heavily.
Qiao Shuya also gradually understood why people here always carry umbrellas when going out.
He slowly came to the defense line and was quickly stopped.
"Stop! Please show your identity!"
"I'm just the director of the admissions office. I'm just here to find a child." Qiao Shuya said calmly.
He took out the registration signed by the high priest yesterday, as well as his certificate from the Watcher Association.
The soldier saluted and Qiao Shuyaye smiled.
Qiao Shuya placed it on the ground and found some scorch marks here.
But even so, he still saw many traces of fungus trees.
If traces of the fungus tree were found in Area 11, it would be a big deal and would need to be investigated thoroughly from beginning to end.
But on this front line, they seemed to be everywhere. Qiao Shuya even saw a large number of soldiers carrying flamethrowers starting to advance, and they would spray fire at the spores on the ground at any time.
Here, they all seem to be accustomed to it.
He even climbed the city walls and saw cannons and fortresses one after another.
We also saw one camp after another outside the city wall.
He looked over from a distance, and in the distance was a place that had completely turned into a forest of fungus trees. There was no end in sight, and no strange demons could be seen.
But the land that has turned completely black has already explained everything.
The real front line mainly relies on technological weapons and soldiers.
The role of the watchmen seems to be only to support and protect the soldiers.
Finally, he seemed to come to a medical clinic.
The nurses here seemed to be in a hurry, and the smell of disinfectant filled the nasal cavity. Qiao Shuya felt very uncomfortable.
"Quickly, hold him down, sedative, the spores of the fungus tree are about to spread to the lungs." Someone shouted loudly.
There were also screams like evil spirits coming from inside.
"No, it's hopeless. The spores have already begun to fibrosis the lungs." The voice continued to come.
Then there continued to be wails of pain and sounds of exhaustion like wild beasts.
"With our abilities, we simply can't do it! In this case, we can only go to Wuchang to ask for an S-level medical warden. We simply can't do this level of surgery!"
The room was very noisy.
Qiao Shuya took a deep breath, took out the cross that was now stored in the zoo at any time, touched the peanuts in his pocket, and slowly said: "You are here..."
Then he thought about it and said: "Maginot is indestructible and will never fall..."
Then the lie was triggered.
Qiao Shuya: "..."
Hopefully this Maginot refers to the Maginot during the Blitz on Paris.
