Chapter 162 Entering the City
[Audience Expectation +5]
[Current Expectation: 78%]
This is the number of times that the audience's expectations have changed. Chen Ling has no time to look at them one by one. He only knows that the audience's expectations at this moment have broken through the peak of history.
As Chen Ling pulled the trigger, the deconstruction force rushed out, instantly opening a gap in the center of the nearby city gate. The steel locomotive, with its terrifying kinetic energy, crashed into the city gate like an unstoppable bullet!
Boom! ! !
In an instant, the locomotive tore open the gap created by the deconstruction, smashing the entire city gate with a mighty force. The dense debris splashed into the city as if ejected by an explosion, and the wind and snow mixed with dust and smoke covered the city wall.
The people who were stopped outside the cordon felt the ground shaking, exclaimed and looked in the direction of the city gate, holding their breath nervously.
The whistle roared in the sobbing wind, and a dark steel giant came from the abandoned desperate purgatory... Until then, everyone finally saw the appearance of the train.
It was a train carrying snow and ice, charred all over, and the cargo compartments at the back were even twisted and deformed, as if it had experienced unimaginable destruction and grinding. It smashed the gate of Aurora City in full view of the public and roared out from the hazy smoke!
It came from the abyss, it stepped on the flames, it was unstoppable!
Sizzle——!
A sharp buzzing sound came from the train, the brakes were squeezed to the bottom, and dazzling sparks splashed from the bottom of the wheels, dragging several long black marks on the wide and slender road.
The piercing brake sound made everyone cover their ears. At the same time, a bone-chilling wind rushed into the city with the train, blowing up their clothes and hair. It was a coldness that the residents of Aurora City had never experienced before, as if it came from hell, making them shiver.
"Is it so cold outside Aurora City?"
"Why does it feel like the temperature is completely different from that inside the city?"
"I feel cold all over... How did they survive such a heavy snowstorm outside?"
"..."
While everyone was whispering, a figure in a black coat on the wall of Aurora City finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the train entering the city...
Han Meng looked at the scarred train, and guilt and complexity flashed in his eyes. He didn't know how the train passed through the gray world, but the survivors on the train had undoubtedly experienced too much suffering... If he hadn't come to Aurora City, but stayed in District 3, perhaps there would be more survivors.
A subtle sound of breaking came from the city wall. The three law enforcement officers locked by [Judgment of the Sin] roared at the same time, broke free from the chains and regained their freedom!
It has been more than 40 seconds since they were blocked by Han Meng, but these few tens of seconds were undoubtedly a great insult to them. Not only did they fail to complete the order given by Aurora City, but they were also suppressed by an outsider in public... His anger was already burning in his eyes!
They rushed to Han Meng's side together, and the three domains opened again. The terrifying aura locked the black figure like the eyes of the god of death, ready to fight him to the death at any time!
However, Han Meng did not resist at all.
He stood calmly on the city wall, overlooking the train that was constantly slowing down, letting the attacks of the three people approach his body, and he had no intention of taking action.
The three of them controlled Han Meng in an instant. They held Han Meng's shoulders and roared angrily:
"Rebel Han Meng! Violating the headquarters' order and openly questioning Aurora City! What else do you have to quibble about?!"
Han Meng didn't even look at them. His eyes followed the train and he replied lightly,
"I have nothing to say."
He no longer needed to resist and fight... because his mission had been completed.
On Fallen Leaf Avenue, as the speed of the train gradually slowed down, a large number of law enforcers and law enforcement officers rushed out of the city and surrounded the steam-rumbling train.
A large number of people stood outside the cordon, anxiously and expectantly looking at the direction of the train, as if waiting for something.
Qi——
The train completely stopped in front of the White Dove Square. The steam valve made a sharp sound. As the misty dust and steam dispersed, the figure on the front of the train gradually became clear in everyone's vision.
It was a young man wearing a blood-red coat. He held a gun in his left hand, and smoke was slowly coming out of the muzzle. His calm and deep eyes slowly swept across the entire square.
"Is he the heretic Chen Ling that the law enforcement officers mentioned just now?"
"It seems so. He is so young... He looks only about twenty years old?"
"Wait, isn't he wearing a law enforcement officer's coat?"
"It really is... But it seems to be covered in blood, so it turned red. How many people did he kill?"
"..."
Just as they were looking at Chen Ling, Chen Ling was also looking at this city that was completely unfamiliar to him...
Parks, street lights, kites, city towers... Compared to here, the seven districts are indeed backward like the basic accommodation areas around the factory cluster. There is nothing but the simplest living. This is more like a city where you can live, and it is closer to the appearance of the "city" in Chen Ling's memory of the last era.
"No wonder everyone wants to enter Aurora City." Chen Ling chuckled.
A rustling sound came from under his feet, and a group of embarrassed figures poked their heads out of the carriage door, carefully looking at everything around them. Most of their faces were frostbitten or burned, and their clothes were tattered, just like refugees.
"Aurora City... We really entered Aurora City!"
"Dad... It's so beautiful here, there are so many colorful birds in the sky!"
"It's saved! My child is saved!"
"Is this Aurora City..."
"..."
The wounded with broken legs, the mother holding her dying child, the man with burns all over his body, the girl who was so hungry that she couldn't even stand... They got off the bus one after another under the gaze of the crowd, and in their eyes, there was more confusion and helplessness than surprise.
They were like wild people who walked out of the deep mountains and old forests. When they entered the city for the first time, everything around them was so strange to them. Those people wore gorgeous clothes that they had never seen before, their faces were clean, and there were no scars or calluses on their hands... In the distance, there were endless small buildings and streets.
At the same time, the residents of Aurora City behind the cordon were also whispering and looking at them... For most of them, this was also their first contact with the world outside the city wall.
Residents inside and outside the city looked at each other through the human wall and cordon of law enforcers. The disparity between the two worlds was vividly displayed at this moment.
At this moment, the sound of guns being loaded broke the subtle silence.
Countless gun muzzles were raised from the law enforcers and aimed at the bloody figure on the train, as if facing a great enemy!
