The tall man and the short man are two standard Ussians who run transportation between Chernobog and the land city. The city of Chernobog has developed very rapidly in recent years, and the demand for supplies has been exaggerated to the point of a black hole. Regardless of No matter how many resources you have, you can swallow them and turn them into nutrients for your own growth.
This feature has also attracted a lot of talents from land cities. As a result, the situation has gradually formed in which surrounding cities provide supporting facilities and the city is the core of development.
In the environment of Ursus, this situation could easily go to the other extreme. Checheng sucked up all the blood of the surrounding land cities. While it became extremely powerful, the land towns could only rely on it due to long-term blood loss. Gradually wither and die.
This is a macro perspective and something politicians should consider.
Putting the perspective on two transportation workers, this is their way of survival. Even if the land town is canceled today, they still have to plan for food next week.
"This is our carriage."
The open-air carriage was empty, with no cargo. It was filled with snow due to heavy snowfall. The horses pulling the carriage were hiding in a makeshift stable. They had enough hay, but people were not allowed to eat grass.
The tall man said with difficulty: "All the goods were thrown on the road. If not, we might not have been able to reach this shelter in time."
Zhou Jinru nodded with satisfaction, at least this way he no longer had to rely on his legs to travel. He jumped into the carriage with little Louisa in his arms, and pulled up the tarpaulins on both sides to barely cover the wind and snow.
"Let's go to the resort I designated. Maybe you can recover some losses."
How dare these two people disobey? This gentleman can easily defeat them both, and their lives are in his hands.
The dwarf grabbed the reins and whispered: "Did you see that the clothes on that man's body were full of blood? He wore the bloody side underneath, but the pants couldn't cover it. How could we bump into him?"
"He came from Chernobog. He took a child alone and walked such a long distance on two legs. He is a ruthless person. Forget it, leave quickly and stop talking."
With the carriage, the speed of the journey was suddenly increased. It took half a day to cover the distance that Zhou Jinru took in two days. In the evening, the resort was already in front of us.
Fortunately, the resort was not blocked by heavy snow and the roads were relatively clear. When they arrived, they found many people trapped here.
Zhou Jinru first bought a set of clothes and then burned the old clothes.
Chernobog's pursuers did not arrive here, but this possibility could not be ruled out, and he could not leave any traces.
"Mom's not here."
Louisa lowered her head in disappointment.
Zhou Jinru was also disappointed because there was still no news about Kelsey.
They stayed here temporarily, and no one cared about an adult and a child. Everyone's eyes were attracted by the major events that happened in Chernobog.
"The energy system of Chernobog was so bad that foreign spies deliberately attacked it, and half of the city was paralyzed. Those spies attacked a certain research institute, causing heavy casualties. This is a major loss that has never been suffered!"
"Thanks to Sir Boris's wisdom and martial prowess, he annihilated the gangsters in time and recovered some of the losses. Moreover, the backup energy was put into use, allowing the city to regain its vitality again!"
Zhou Jinru hurriedly returned to the room carrying the food. The news in the newspaper was full of loopholes, and he was not even interested in taking a look at it.
Chernobog's energy system was based on the institute's exploration of the sarcophagus. Boris attacked the institute and massacred the researchers. It was impossible for him to get an intact energy system. Even if researchers with conscience died, they would still be there. Cutting off the energy supply at the last moment and destroying research results that could be destroyed caused half of the city to lose energy.
In other words, Chernobog has a total of two energy systems, one is the sarcophagus unknown to outsiders, and the other is Source Stone energy in the traditional sense.
"It turns out that Boris prepared so much crude source stone in order to fill the energy gap in time after the institute lost control."
Zhou Jinru is not a member of the research institute, so he only found out later, but the person involved, Kelsey, shouldn’t know anything about what she was thinking...
As he got to know Kelxi, Zhou Jinru found that he was increasingly confused about what she wanted to do.
Half a month passed peacefully, and the resort reopened, but there were far fewer tourists and it seemed particularly deserted.
This winter is coming to an end, the snowflakes have bid farewell to Ursus for the time being, and spring is right in front of us, within reach.
The arrival of an unexpected guest breaks the peaceful life.
"Lilia, you are indeed here."
Zhou Jinru watched as the mother and daughter reunited after a long separation comforted each other with hugs.
Louisa's mother, Lilia, was a beautiful and mature woman, and Yaye inherited everything from her when she grew up.
But now, this woman is haggard and pale, and she doesn't have the calmness and calmness she once had.
"Thank you, Mr. Fourth. I heard that you took Luisa away, so I knew you would come here. I'm sorry, I can't make time to come here during this period."
"It doesn't matter, I will definitely do what I promised you."
Lilia heard that a doctor brought a child out of Chernobog and performed a miracle that could not be replicated. She knew that she could not do it, and no one could do it, if it were not for the doctor in front of her. , Louisa had been killed long ago.
"I don't know how to thank you..."
Zhou Jinru shook his head: "Don't talk about it yet, Director Kelxi, how is she?"
"She's dead."
"ah?!"
Zhou Jinru suspected that he heard wrongly, but looking at Lilia's expression, it didn't look like she was lying.
"It's true. My friend saw her name on the body list. Boris is rigorous in his work and will not make mistakes."
This is impossible. How could Kelsey die?
Zhou Jinru couldn't believe that the woman must have used Jin Chan's method to escape.
When Lilia comforted Louisa and came back to Zhou Jinru, there was a trace of blood on her face. Perhaps because of seeing her daughter, the pain in her eyes eased a lot.
"I'm sorry, I haven't asked your husband yet, he..."
"He died, right in front of me. I watched with my own eyes as a crossbow arrow shot through his throat."
"sorry."
"It doesn't matter."
Lilia stood on the balcony, holding the guardrail with both hands, looking into the distance. Zhou Jinru could feel that there was a fire in her emotions, a strong fire, burning fiercely, and even she would be burned up.
"Mr. Four, I want to take Louisa away."
"Little Louisa is your daughter, you don't have to ask my approval for your decision."
