The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

The out-of-control collision of the steam train was said by the maintenance craftsman who fled to Cask Town after being drunk. Not many people believed his words, because if there was such a big accident, it would definitely be published in the Newspapers, but in the past newspapers published similar news, so most people thought he was just talking drunk.

But there are also some who seem to have heard similar rumors, so they think what he said may be true, but they are skeptical about the fact that some combination of parts can produce power far beyond the limit in what he said, thinking that this is just this. A repair craftsman found an interface for his negligence.

The craftsman's words only caused a small wave in the noisy tavern, but was buried by other topics. Compared with the train accident, the people in the tavern liked to talk about the monsters that suddenly appeared in the world.

However, after hearing what the maintenance craftsman said, Leo couldn't help thinking of Lake Town, because the energy efficiency of the steam machinery in Lake Town far exceeds that of the same steam machinery in Vinylon World. In terms of energy efficiency, this kind of improvement is not just a little bit, but several times or even tens of times.

The reason why Leo had this association was not only because of the experience of this maintenance craftsman, but also because of the rumors he had heard before about the army of ordinary people being able to deal with the out-of-control family members.

It is not true to say that it is a rumor, because many people in the tavern have seen the government army use the steam engine crossbow to kill all kinds of giant monsters that are indescribable and as big as houses. According to their descriptions, those single The steam engine crossbow equipped by the soldier was unbelievably powerful, and it shot through the monster's body easily. Bystanders felt that it was not a steam engine crossbow, but a steam engine cannon on a battleship.

Although the strength of the family members will vary greatly due to different prerequisites such as bloodlines and the degree of divine power infection, but even the weakest family members are better than ordinary people in terms of body self-healing, strength speed, and fighting instinct. Human beings surpassed a lot, and although the out-of-control family members lost their minds, they survived several times, and even increased their strength by ten times. Logically speaking, this is no longer something ordinary people can deal with with their weapons.

But the current situation is that ordinary people can solve the out-of-control family members only with the weapon of the steam crossbow. If it is not that the power source of the out-of-control family members is far smaller than those in the past, then it can only be the steam machine crossbow The power of the power has been increased by more than a little.

This made Leo couldn't help thinking that as the world began to change and the gods gradually returned, the steam machinery that appeared after the gods disappeared might also change accordingly, becoming like Lake Town. The same machinery can produce extraordinary power. energy efficiency.

Thinking of this, Leo had no intention of continuing to stay in the tavern. He left the tavern, asked the locals, and then came to a small workshop outside the town that sold mechanical parts.

Because there are not many machines in Wooden Barrel Town, there are few types of parts sold in this small workshop, but these parts are enough for Leo to use. After spending some money, after buying dozens of parts, he carried a large Pack returned to the camp outside the town, back inside his pack tent.

Before dark, Leo was in the tent, using the existing mechanical parts and some wood on hand to assemble a simple clockwork doll.

This doll was not assembled according to the mechanical principles of the current Vinylon world, but was assembled according to the mechanical principles of Hushang Town.

There are many kinds of machinery manufacturing methods in Hushang Town, but there is only one fundamental principle, that is, the more complex the machinery, the more parts there are gears, springs, bearings, etc., the greater the energy efficiency will be, as if the power generated by these parts will increase with time. As the number increases, it continues to superimpose.

While this sounds simple, it is quite complex in practice because as the number of parts increases, the entire mechanical design needs to be fundamentally modified with each new part, and because the parts produce different energy efficiencies, Then maintaining the balanced operation of mechanical energy efficiency has become a fatal problem. If the energy efficiency of the parts is not balanced, then there will be repulsion between the parts, which will eventually lead to the disintegration of the entire machine itself, and may even cause a burst.

If the mechanical puppet made by Leo follows the method of streamlining parts in Vinylon World, it can be assembled with a maximum of seven parts, but he redesigned the mechanical structure and finally assembled it with forty-seven parts. puppet.

As the sky darkened, a bonfire was also lit in the camp. Leo left the camp alone with the half-person-high doll. In front of the rocky beach.

He carefully checked the surroundings with the spirit net, and after finding that there were no other people or abnormalities, he put the puppet in his hand on the ground, and then twisted the wooden hair behind it.

Although it is called a puppet, it is actually a headless animal-shaped figure with four limbs on the ground. When Leo winds up the clockwork and puts the animal-shaped puppet on the ground, the limbs of the puppet follow the The operation of the machine swayed at a very high speed, and the driven body rushed forward. The speed was so fast that ordinary naked eyes could only see an illusory shadow.

Because there is no control device, the puppet can only rush forward, even if there is a huge boulder in front of it, it does not avoid it, and it is directly installed on it. The wooden body is immediately assembled into pieces, and the mechanical parts assembled inside the body are also outside. Under the impact of the two forces inside and outside, most of the parts were even damaged by this force.

However, that huge rock was also damaged. The huge force directly hit the huge rock and rolled it forward for more than ten meters before stopping, and the place where it hit has been shattered into a pothole. It can be seen that the power of the puppet impact just now how big.

Although several hours of careful production were ruined, Leo didn't care about it, because the doll had completed its mission, and Leo was sure of one thing, that is, the mutation had made The steam machinery of the world of Velen is transforming towards Laketown.

According to the current changing trend, I believe that it will not be long before the world of Vinylon can create a giant mechanical device similar to the mechanical fortress of Lake Town. The power of battle, of course, this is only limited to the pure power type, not the evil existence on the mysterious side.

However, in Leo's view, this matter is not something to be happy about, because now that even the laws of steam machinery have begun to change in the direction of Hushang Town, the thick fog surrounding Hushang Town will Won't it appear?

In other words, dense fog has already appeared, such as the dense fog on the ocean, but the dense fog has not yet spread to the land.

Thinking of this, Leo's mood became a little heavy.

Leo didn't pick up the scattered parts and puppet fragments on the ground, turned around and left the rocky beach, and returned to the camp.

The caravan crossed the snow mountain in the rain, snow and wind, and saw the shocking scene on the top of the snow mountain. Both mentally and physically, they were exhausted. After dinner, they took an early rest, with only a few guards On watch.

Compared to the quietness of the campsite, Wooden Barrel Town is very lively after nightfall. Almost all the people who seek refuge here bring all their belongings with them, but there are very few places where they can spend money. The only place where money can be spent, so those fleeing refugees spend time in the pub whenever they have time, not only to pass the time, but also to borrow alcohol to temporarily forget the troubles of external connection.

It's just that these people drinking in the tavern don't know that they have been targeted, and they are not considered human beings.

"Aren't you going to do it? I can't help it anymore!" In the corner of the tavern, among the three strange people who wrapped themselves tightly, a tall and thin strange man lowered his head slightly, speaking in a low and hoarse voice. asked the voice.

"Shut up, if you didn't hold back, why would we escape here?" The thinnest man next to him gave his companion a cold look, gritted his teeth and said, "If you dare to do this next time If you talk nonsense, I will eat you, lest you, an idiot, cause any trouble."

Although this man was the smallest and looked the weakest, he seemed to possess a great deterrent force. After saying this threatening sentence, not only the tall and thin man immediately closed his mouth, but even the people around him The other thin man who spoke was also sitting upright.

In fact, although the thin and small man was teaching his companions a lesson, his heart was salivating at the drunken refugees and locals in the tavern.

Compared with his two companions, he awakened earlier, and he also came into contact with the situation of the underground world, knew the identity of his family members, and had a better understanding of various situations of the family members, such as how the family members use their power to improve themselves, such as There are those enemies and more.

Similarly, he is also very clear that once the family members taste the taste of human flesh, they will never be able to shake off their desire for human flesh.

For a long time in the past, he has been hiding himself, restraining himself, and letting himself live like an ordinary person.

But that night, his body suddenly had a high temperature, he was powerless to resist, and passed out instantly. When he woke up from the coma, it was already the next morning, and he was lying on the outskirts in ragged clothes On the ground, there are broken corpses all around. There are still many bite marks on these corpses, and there is a strong smell of blood in his innermost part.

When he saw the stumped limbs and arms around him, he recalled what happened after the coma with little effort. He saw how he turned into a monster, how he slaughtered the people in the village, and how he finally ate him. those he killed.

Originally, he thought that he would feel disgusted when he recalled the experience of cannibalism, but in fact, what he felt was hunger and the deliciousness of human flesh, so when the feeling of hunger reached its peak, he picked up the stumps and broken arms around him again and ate them. stand up.

After having a full meal, he immediately left the suburbs and walked north along the road, because he knew very well that churches, night watchmen, bounty hunters and other organizations that specialize in hunting family members would appear in a short time. It is absolutely impossible to defeat these bounty hunters who hunt and kill their families all the year round. In the end, he is likely to become a trophy for bounty hunters in exchange for benefits.

On the way to escape, he soon encountered two family members, and these two family members were being hunted down by the army hunters, so he rescued the two family members.

This is not because of his good intentions, but because if he encounters an irresistible danger, he can use these two family members as bait to block the enemy, and then escape alone.

It's just that he didn't expect that the two guys he rescued were two big troubles. When these two family members lost control, they actually ate a very prestigious general of the Royal Government Army. Send special troops to hunt down.

Now he has also become a wanted object because he saved these two guys.

After that, the three of them fled all the way. Originally, they fled smoothly. Relying on their own abilities, they avoided the pursuing army. However, their whereabouts were exposed because one of the family members could not bear the urge to eat people, and finally went through all kinds of hardships. Kucai was able to escape to the border town of Wooden Barrel Town.

So when thinking of the sufferings experienced after saving these two family members, this thin family member couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.

"Boss, in fact, we have already come here now. We will cross the Quinsis Snow Mountain and go to the Kingdom of Savile in the morning tomorrow. There is no need to worry about the wolfhounds behind." The fat family member sitting next to him was careful. muttered.

The skinny family member was silent for a while, shook his head, and said, "I always feel a little dangerous. Don't do anything today, go back and rest, and leave immediately when tomorrow dawns."

After making the decision, the skinny family didn't say anything more, suppressed the strong desire for human flesh in their hearts, stood up, and walked out of the tavern.

The other two family members looked at the thin family member with great dissatisfaction, their eyes were full of malice, but in the end they suppressed their malice towards the thin family member, stood up one after another, and looked at the people in the tavern with longing , and then looked at each other, as if exchanging some information, then nodded slightly, and walked out of the tavern quickly.

Not long after the three family members left the tavern, the two night watchmen sitting upstairs also stood up and followed them out.

The following ability of these two night watchmen was very strong. The three family members in front didn't even notice that there was someone following behind them, and went straight back to the hotel room they had booked.

The two night watchmen did not follow, but each guarded a diagonal position of the inn. Both of them could see the surroundings of the inn clearly. As long as someone came out, it was impossible to escape their surveillance.

As time passed, it had entered the middle of the night, and the people in the tavern were all drunk, and then left the tavern one after another, most of them walked towards the newly built residential area on the edge of the town, and just At this time, two black shadows climbed over the wall of the hotel, and quickly rushed towards the new residential area with the most refugees along the dark shadow of the wall.
