The Mechanical Empire of the End of the World

Chapter 193 A Faint Fragrance

The No. 1 Trade Ship has such a big target. Once it passes by, how can it not be discovered by the strange beasts in the city?

If the ant-shaped alien beast group only has terrestrial species and no flying species, it would be okay, but if there are flying creatures, it would be a bit bad. No matter how fast they run on land, they can't be as fast as those flying in the sky.

The expression on his face was startled, and Li Meng laughed at himself.

I'm overthinking it. The No. 1 trade ship has a big goal, and the New Humanity's mobile fortress is even bigger.

In just six months, Li Meng encountered two mobile fortresses, which shows that the new humanity has not completely abandoned the original continent.

They were worried because the mobile fortress was not as fast as the No. 1 trade ship.

"I hope I won't meet them..."

Thinking of the New Humanity's mobile fortress, Li Meng became a little worried again.

There is only one road, and if you go in the opposite direction, you will definitely encounter it.

The new humans regard the Yangtze River as a thoroughfare deep into the interior. When encountering a large ship traveling on the river, they will definitely not turn a blind eye. If they are intercepted, the only way to escape is to escape.

Of course, there is no guarantee that there will be a confrontation with force. This is just a possibility. After all, when encountering unknown forces, the use of force is the last resort, and arrogance is not advisable.

As soon as we passed Nanjing, we were not far from the seaport. In the dark sky and on the white river, the No. 1 trade ship was galloping all the way. Wherever it passed, snowflakes were flying, and the rumble of the ship resounded throughout the world.

After an unknown amount of time, the sky outside gradually darkened.

When everything was invisible, on the river, Trade Ship No. 1 turned on its huge searchlight and continued moving forward.

In the bridge, the radar also scanned the terrain ahead, so that the No. 1 Trade Ship traveling at night would not get lost.

Curled up on the sofa, Li Meng held a piece of meat pie in his hand and ate it bite by bite while looking at the darkness outside.

Under the huge searchlight, a small patch of darkness was visible in front of the bow and around the hull.

I don't know when the wind started blowing and flying all over the sky. It felt like it was snowing and fog was rising outside.

"As long as you enter the sea, you have nothing to worry about..."

Li Meng thought as he ate the meat pie.

Although Black Flag City will one day be discovered by new humans, when that time comes, Li Meng hopes that Black Flag City will be identified as a country, not a settlement built by the survivors of the old humans.

If you want to contact the new humanity as a country, you must be strong. Only when you are strong, Black Flag City will not be afraid of any opponent in the game between countries.

But it's not possible right now. When you are weak, you must learn to be low-key. Being too high-profile will only bring trouble to yourself.

Picking up the water glass on the table, 666 handed it to Li Meng.

Li Meng took the water glass from 666 and was about to take a sip. Just when he put the water glass on his mouth, the moving ship suddenly swayed, slowed down, and finally stopped.

The lights outside flickered, and the searchlights on both sides of the deck and the bow of the ship were randomly extinguished, and everything returned to darkness.

A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, Li Meng took a sip of water and handed the water glass to 666 again.

"213823, what's going on?"

Trade Ship No. 1 has stopped. Although the noise outside can't be heard inside, the feeling of the ship when it is moving is different from when it is stationary.

Blue light shot out from the zenith, forming a topographic map in the air in front of Li Meng.

Ahead is a city, not far away, very tight, and the outlines of a large number of buildings can be seen on the topographic map.

213823: "A structure similar to a lighthouse was found on Hengsha Island, and thermal energy reaction was detected."

Hengsha Island?

Isn't this one of the two small islands at the mouth of the sea?

In other words, the No. 1 trade ship has arrived in Shanghai...

In the picture, the topographic map of Hengsha Island was scanned. At the southwest end of Hengsha Island, there is a lighthouse. Under the lighthouse is a building similar to a castle, which is not small.

There seem to be some large vehicles between Hengsha Island and Changxing Island.

Looking at the scene in the air in front of him, Li Meng pondered: "213823, has the No. 1 trade ship been discovered by the other party?"

213823: "No high-power electromagnetic waves have been detected. The other party has no radar equipment. The possibility of being discovered is 10%."

Hearing this, Li Meng breathed a sigh of relief, it would be nice if there was no radar.

It won't be the old humanity, it should be a stronghold of the new humanity.

In the darkness, without radar, it was impossible to detect the No. 1 Trade Ship with the naked eye.

Taking a big bite of the meatloaf in his hand, Li Meng said: "Take the north side of the river and go out to the sea from Chongqi Bridge. Don't turn on the lights. Let's go."

Although he couldn't see it, Li Meng could feel the No. 1 Trade Ship moving.

It was really dark outside, so dark that I couldn't see anything.

666 on the side picked up the water glass and handed it over, for fear that Li Meng would choke.

With a slight smile, Li Meng stretched out his little hand and pinched 666's face, took the water glass, and took a few sips.

After an unknown amount of time, in the darkness ahead, Li Meng saw a beam of light swinging in the sky.

It was the searchlight on the lighthouse. It was very far away and only a little bit of light could be seen.

The small beam of light quickly disappeared on the right side, and Li Meng knew that the No. 1 trade ship had entered the river channel on the north side.

After taking the last bite of the meat pie, Li Meng held the water glass in his hands and drank it all in one gulp.

It was about to enter the sea, and Li Meng became energetic.

Although Li Meng had guessed that the sea should be covered with thick ice like the inland rivers.

But guesses are just guesses. Before they are confirmed, they can never become facts.

"213823, have we reached the sea?"

It was dark outside and nothing could be seen.

The terrain scanned by the radar was an endless plain. The cities and hills that could be seen were no longer there.

213823: "We have left the Yangtze River and entered the East China Sea. We are about 7,000 kilometers away from our destination."

"Well, it seems that we can't see it at night..."

Whether inland or in the sea, the No. 1 trade ship was traveling on the ice, and the feeling in the bridge was the same. The reason why Li Meng was interested in the sea was just to see what the ice looked like.

Lying on 666's legs again, Li Meng yawned.

Disappointment was not disappointment. Li Meng still had this patience. No matter how long the night was, there would be a time to leave. Don't worry. When a new day comes, everything will be visible.

That's more than 7,000 kilometers, so there's plenty of time on the road.

Li Meng looked up at 666's beautiful face and asked, "666, do you want to sleep?"

Facing the commander's gaze, 666 shook his head.

After a yawn, Li Meng said sleepily, "Then I'll sleep. Remember to wake me up when it's dawn."

As he spoke, Li Meng arched his back in 666's arms, found a comfortable position, and closed his eyes.

Although it was only a semi-mechanical body, 666's body was unexpectedly fragrant, with a scent of vegetable oil.

It was light, not greasy, and very comfortable.
