In the afternoon, Sylutia climbed up the steps to the roof deck and looked at the distant scenery.
The cold wind is biting, the stratus clouds in the sky are constantly flowing, and the ground below is gray and white. The towns along the way are also quite desolate. Many houses are damaged, some are being urgently reinforced and repaired, and some have simply given up and let the cold wind pour in.
Twenty hours have passed since the departure. The train traveled northward for about 2,000 kilometers and arrived at Delin District, a place with rolling forests and rolling hills.
The trees swayed in the violent air currents, and the grass was blown all over in one direction, revealing scattered rabbits running under the gray sky.
After passing Delin District, the train continued to go north. A burst of big raindrops fell from the sky, hitting the car body and causing some splashes of water and white gas.
After entering this rain band, the cold moisture gradually spread to the car body, making the night much colder. Some crew members asked for extra thin blankets and quilts to sleep.
Late at night, Sildiya led people to check the carriage and received a notice.
"Master Hedra, please follow me, Master Ge Zhen is gathering everyone." A crew member wearing a blue hat came to her.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Sylutia nodded and led several members of the Inspection Department to the front of the car.
After arriving, several team leaders in the car were all present, and Master Ge Zhen also told everyone something.
"Received communication from Woze District: The track passing there is currently under emergency repair; we are unable to pass as scheduled, so we can only stop at Woze District and wait for the track to be repaired."
"I remember that ensuring that the tracks used by support trains are unobstructed is currently an important mission of each region along the way. Why does this happen again?" Tagus frowned. As a soldier, in his opinion, failing to ensure that the tracks are unimpeded in such an emergency is a serious dereliction of duty.
"I also asked about the reason, but the other party seemed unwilling to say more. He just asked us to stop at Helun City in front and wait for now."
Hearing this name, Novaton recalled it for a moment, and then said, "I remember that there is a station in the main city of Woze District. Why did we arrange it for Helun in the outer city."
Helun is one of the satellite cities of Woze District. It is rich in beer. It is not only supplied to the local area, but some of it is also dragged to the central part of the Alliance for sale, so there is a station there.
"I don't know, maybe the section in the main city of Woze District is damaged?" Kubo shrugged, saying that anything could happen.
"This is hard to say." Amisha replied with a smile and narrowed his eyes.
"I remember that the track in the main city of Woze District should be the most Sturdiness and the least likely to be damaged. On the contrary, it is the Helun section in the wild. Because the funds are less, there is no large safety redundancy reserved during construction."
Regarding this point, Master Ge Zhen said that he had thought about it, but since the other party had informed him so, they could not take huge risks and let the train continue to move forward. If there was really a problem with the track, it would not be possible to brake in time.
"We can only rest for a while at Helun, and then quickly send people to the main city to check the situation."
"At the current speed, how long will it take to arrive at Helun?" Sylutia asked.
"We'll be there in about an hour." The conductor took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.
"After arriving at Helun, I will take people to the main city of Woze District to check immediately. Considering the elite level of the Inspection Department members, we will move faster." Silutia suggested.
"In that case, please leave it to Miss Hedra." Master Ge Zhen nodded. As the chief conductor of the train, he is also the strongest person. He needs to ensure the safety and stability of the entire train and cannot leave easily.
"I'll go too. After all, I have an engineering background and can know the real situation of the damage and repair of that section of track." Novaton suggested.
Master Ge Zhen thought for a few seconds and nodded in agreement. Then Sylutia and Novaton began to gather the crew members.
Half an hour later, Sylutia had selected sixty people to accompany her on the mission this time, most of whom were fourth-level elites, and a small number of them were people who were good at various professional skills.
On the other side, Novaton also selected suitable manpower, but he did not bring many, only about twenty Mage who were good at engineering.
After the decision was made, Sildiya discussed the following matters with Cheris, because she had to lead the team to leave the train temporarily, but the "Blazing Sun Essence Crystal" loaded on the car was still important, and someone needed to lead the team to supervise and guard it. This task could only be left to Cheris, the number two person in the Inspection Department team.
"I understand, Master Hedra, be careful all the way." Although he was a little worried about this girl, Cheris still understood the seriousness of the matter and did not say anything about going with him.
"With you on the train, I feel more at ease." Sildiya nodded.
Soon, the train slowed down slowly, and the outline of a small station appeared in front of the headlights. There were staff waiting there, waving flags to direct and inform them of the stopping situation.
A few minutes later, with the sound of steam braking, the train gradually stopped, and then the door opened, and Sylutia jumped out of the car with people.
"Welcome, all distinguished guests heading to the north for support." The station commander, wearing a black coat, led a group of people to stand and nervously greeted the members in dark blue uniforms who jumped down.
As a Inspection Department who specializes in dealing with internal affairs, it is the nightmare of many the Alliance officials. No one can guarantee that there is no stain on their body. Although the webmaster knows that the other party is not here to arrest him, he is still quite uneasy.
"Hello." Sylutia asked about the situation. Novaton will also come with the staff soon.
"I don't know much about the situation in the main city. I just received an emergency order two hours ago, telling us to prepare immediately to receive Ninth Train who is about to arrive." The stationmaster explained in the cold wind late at night.
After asking several times carefully, Xiludia and others determined that the webmaster in front of them knew only a limited amount and stopped asking further questions.
"Although he doesn't know the specific situation, he must have made some guesses. I can see that his eyes are a little dodgey." A team member whispered to Sylutia.
"I know, but even if it is tortured, it is just his guess. We can only know the real situation when we go to the main city." Sylutia shook his head slightly.
"Let's go, you can't see anything if you stay here. Let's go to the main city first."
"Yes, sir!"
Sildya told Novaton on the side that she would take the first step, then lead the members into the sky, and then turn into a swarm of galloping meteors and disappear at the end of the night sky.
Seeing Sylutia leading the people to set off so quickly, Novaton could only wave his hand helplessly, and then asked the engineer behind him to start the adjusted "Black Steel Spider".
It is said to be a spider, but its structure is roughly similar. Its three pairs of legs are extremely Sturdiness. They stand up like pliers on the ground to support the heavy body in the middle. There is a pair of sharp scissors raised in front of it, like a pair of mantis knives, but it is equipped with another small blade at the end, which can cut metal like hydraulic scissors.
When Black Steel Spider stood up, its body was about six meters tall. The power furnace inside was running, and boiling steam heat waves were emitted from its back. Then it moved quickly, carrying the members on it, towards the main city in the distance.
