Chapter 659 Battle Island
Life on board is not as interesting as imagined, especially in winter.
The weather is cold, and many things cannot be done. And Zhou Jiang and the others have not graduated yet, which means that they are underage and cannot even enter the bar.
So there aren't many places to play here.
You can't play in the swimming pool, go to the garden, or go to the bar.
These days, they can only go to the battlefield and play at the skating rink. These two places are considered their favorite places to relax.
But even so, you can't play it often, and it's easy to get bored. It's okay to go to the battle field. Although many people will not let the elves participate in the battle, they will subconsciously come here when they are idle. And the total number of trainers is here, so everyone is idle. There is nothing to do, there are always one or two who want to fight.
Elf battle is an addiction that many trainers cannot quit. It is as difficult for them to "quit" as it is for a smoker to quit smoking.
Someone took the initiative to fight, and everyone's strength was good, so the battle between elves was naturally very exciting. The fight was exciting, and the audience was excited to see it. Then many trainers couldn't sit still and came off the field to fight.
Zhou Jiang has no scruples. If there are people, he will naturally want to come down and play. After all, he can kill time and gain points, so why not
But the further he got to the back, the more people came down to fight, so he couldn't fight a few games a day. He played less and was not satisfied, so he would naturally continue to fight.
As for the ice rink
It was okay at first, everyone was very excited, and it seemed to be very interesting, but after all, it was the first time and I had never played it before, so there was no doubt that Zhou Jiang had a bad fall.
At first, he was very interested. Even if he fell, it would be fine. He could just get up and continue. However, after falling dozens of times and still not being able to master it, he gave up.
Like him are Zhou Nan and Chen Yongan.
The two of them also had trouble balancing and kept falling.
Zhou Jiangdao is okay, thin and light, so falling is not very painful. The two of them are here. Although they are wearing a lot of clothes and protective gear, falling down is not a joke. , it still hurts after falling so many times.
So I simply stopped playing.
The experience of luxury cruise life ended in just four days.
In the early morning of the fourth day, Zhou Jiang and the others found out that they had arrived at their destination when they woke up.
Standing on the deck, looking at the huge artificial island in front of him, which could not be seen to the edge at a glance, Zhou Jiang couldn't help but look forward to it when he remembered the introduction of this artificial island on the official website.
On the deck where they were standing at this time, there were many trainers surrounding them.
The ladder has been lowered and people are pouring out.
There were not many trainers, there were only four or five hundred of them at full capacity, and even with the hired waiters, there were only six or seven hundred. Soon, the guarding cruise ship was empty.
"Battle Island" is the name of this island. It is an artificial island created by a coalition of multiple countries on the basis of a large archipelago.
There are twelve standard league competition venues at the center of the island. Each battle venue can seat 180,000 spectators. Surrounded by the residences of players and tourists, the residences are built around the twelve battle venues. , between the two residential areas is a commercial street and other entertainment and shopping places.
Although the "Battle Island" was built with the original intention of hosting the league competition, this does not mean that it will not be used at other times except during the league competition.
The outer area of the commercial street is a real residential area. Instead of housing contestants and tourists from various countries like the ones inside, the outside area is full of houses that can be sold.
Just like the artificial island in District 13 established by China, it will eventually become a prosperous city. The only difference is that this is a place where citizens from all over the world live together.
The "Battle Island" was built by thirteen countries, led by China, E, R, and M. Only residents of these thirteen countries will be eligible to immigrate and settle there.
After arriving on the island, Zhou Jiang and the others walked towards the tram under the leadership of the receptionist in a small suit.
"Battle Island" is in a tropical area. At this time, everyone was wearing unusually cool clothes. Zhou Jiang and the others had already changed into shirts and shorts. Zhou Jiang took a look here and saw that there were many people from the East and West wearing uniforms. The beautiful lady was introducing "Battle Island" to many tourists. Following the blonde lady who kept explaining the characteristics of "Battle Island" to them, they walked to the tram station.
The station is right near the pier, and there are still many people waiting here. However, the station is very big, and there are eleven optical tracks, so there is no need to worry about congestion.
After sending Zhou Jiang and others here, and taking the tickets for them step by step, the lady went back to pick up the guests, cough cough
Zhou Jiang glanced at the side and saw that there were more than ten people on the platform they were on. Before he could look at the platform behind him, their tram had arrived.
I got on the tram and found a seat in the empty carriage.
The tram started, Zhou Jiang turned his head and looked outside.
The tram travels in mid-air, just like the one in Japan in the previous life. The tram that hangs half on the rails not only saves space, but is also fast.
Since the train is in the "sky", you can see far distances while sitting on the tram. At this time, they have not entered the "Battle Island". They are only in the outer area at this time, and they have to go inside. Register at the checkpoint, and this train is going to the checkpoint.
At this time, you can see from inside the train that the outside is almost all filled up wasteland. It is estimated that the construction has not yet started. It is just finishing the important internal places such as the alliance competition venue, and then it will be opened during the alliance competition.
Sitting on the tram, looking far into the distance, you can still see a glimmer of reflected light on the sea in the farthest distance, but as the tram moves on, the last hint of sea color disappears.
Not sure if it was the speed of the tram or the short distance, but they arrived at the stop soon.
As the announcement rang, the tram gradually slowed down and finally stopped at the station.
Zhou Jiang and others got off the bus together with the dozen or so passengers.
Zhou Jiang looked at the tram that was deserted after everyone got off the carriage, and sighed slightly.
It’s really a chartered car
There was no time for him to sigh. They needed to move on and go through the procedures to enter the "Battle Island".
Coming out of the underground passage guided by the staff, the first thing you see is a high stone wall.
On this day, mankind remembered
Ahem, it’s a joke.
Moreover, there is not one stone wall, but two, and there seems to be a door separated by an unclear material.
If you turn around, you can still see the station platform in the distance. You haven't traveled through it. This stone wall didn't appear suddenly. I didn't see it on the tram before.
Zhou Jiang looked at Zhou Nan and the others. He was about to ask them when he found that they were not surprised at all. They looked calm, as if the stone wall was very common or they had not seen it at all.
"" Waiting for a moment, Zhou Jiang suddenly remembered that he seemed to have been looking towards the tail of the tram before, which was the direction they were coming from. No wonder he didn't see it, looking towards the back. There are ghosts if you can see them.
There is an asphalt road open to traffic leading to the stone wall opposite. There are cement platforms on both sides of the road. There is an unfinished bus stop on the other side of the cement platform. Although the bus stop has not been repaired, a bus is already parked there. , and beside the bus, a uniformed bus driver wearing big sunglasses was waving to them.
"Hey~ hurry up and get in the car, the old driver is about to leave."
There were already many passengers on the bus. After Zhou Jiang and his group passed by, although there were still a few seats left, just as the old driver said, the train was about to leave.
Sitting on the bus, Zhou Jiang could see the high wall this time. After all, it was right in front. The bus was only for those sitting face-to-face. Unless you were blind, you couldn't miss it.
The old driver was worthy of being an experienced driver. The bus was traveling very fast, and they reached the corner of the wall in no time. After reaching the corner, Zhou Jiang could estimate the height of the stone wall, which was about three meters, as high as a first floor.
Well, it was already quite high, but it still disappointed him. He thought it could be fifty meters high.
Well, fifty meters is impossible. Who has nothing to do to build such a high wall? It’s useless. It’s as if the materials cost nothing.
There was an opening between the two stone walls, and that was where they needed to register.
After Zhou Jiang and others got off the bus, the old driver drove his bus back there to wait for the next group of guests.
Zhou Jiang and the others followed several staff members who came out of the security room and walked inside.
Registration is very simple. The information form they submitted previously has been sent to the computer terminal here. Now they only need to hand over their ID card and swipe it.
Check-in and check-in went smoothly. Everyone took out their ID cards and asked them to scan them with the machine.
The scan was very fast, and all registrations were completed in less than five minutes. The staff member gestured to the staff sitting behind the console in the room inside, and then in the gap between the two stone walls, the two people blocking their sight were The door about meters slowly opened.
The door slowly opened to both sides, and everyone stared at it closely, eager to know what it looked like inside. Everything about this "Battle Island" is new and interesting to them.
It is the most expensive, longest-running, most technologically advanced, and largest artificial island in the world.
Regarding the introduction of this artificial island, Zhou Jiang thought of Academy City again.
When he went to District 13 before, he thought it looked like Academy City, but it was just an ordinary artificial island city. If the name artificial island was removed, then it would be no different from other cities. At most, it would have four seasons. Spring, and surrounded by the sea
But it should be different here. After all, it was a multinational joint venture that took several years to develop. And according to official news, the technology used here is at least ten years ahead of the outside world.
