Chapter 33 Safe House
"Pap-pap-pap-pap"
In the dark alley, there were only the footsteps and panting voices of the four of them. No one spoke, and everyone followed closely behind Charles.
The dark alley is not long. The Steam City is a typical engineering style. The roads are extremely complex, short and crisscrossed, with a mechanical beauty like a chip diagram.
Soon, Charles brought several people to the open area again.
"here it is.."
Ciel knew all the maps in the game by heart, including this one. With his experience, it was easy to find a safe house.
But first we need to determine where they are.
The little guys had unconditional trust in Ciel, so even though Dudley was trembling with fear, they followed Ciel closely.
Ciel glanced around, his tired brain struggling to compare the surrounding terrain and memories with each other, and finally found their location after a moment.
The edge of Steam City.
Fortunately, the out-of-control teleportation didn't throw them directly into the core of Steam City.
"Charle, Charles, look at that"
Harry's low scream suddenly reached his ears.
Turning around, he saw a strange-looking mechanical creature walking staggeringly from an alley. Its movements seemed stumbling, but its speed was not slow.
"Didn't you hear Ciel say shut up, you idiot?"
Dudley was afraid that Harry would alert the monster, so he slapped Harry hard on the shoulder, making the latter grit his teeth.
Finding the target: the conscientious robot
Name: Universal service robot Steam No. [-]
Challenge Level: 30
Power: 800
Constitution: 800
Remember: the more machine-like a robot is, the safer it will be, and vice versa.
"This way"
Charles said that he also admired Dudley. He had just escaped from the threat of the Cyclops, and how long had he been willing to bully Harry?
This thing whose upper part looks like a birdcage and whose lower part looks like an alarm clock is a universal service robot. Although there are no residents living in this city at all, it is. .You don't have to, but I have to have it.
Just by hearing the name, you can tell that the service robot is not very powerful. If its challenge level is level 30, it would be hard to tell.
Ciel recalled the strategies for Steam City in his head.
The whole body of the Steam City is made of welded steel plates. The walls, the floor, and everywhere you can see are large pieces of cold metal. These metals are crudely made, but they are combined just right to form various strange shapes. The polygonal metal building has a strong steampunk style.
This is the typical style of the Crazy Alice series, which is weird, heavy metal, freewheeling, and has a hint of cute absurdity.
As the name of Steam City suggests, except for the metal joints that build the entire city, steam can be seen everywhere.
The city is running, and the huge steam core that maintains something unknown is distributed in the center of the city. It spits out huge thick smoke every day and every night, making roaring noises and widespread vibrations.
Huge gear winches criss-crossed, creaking and turning with difficulty, and the hot steam furnace spewed out excessive amounts of sulfur dioxide, demonstrating its strong industrial atmosphere.
The strategy team calls this thing Fairy Tale Technology.
Because it is not just a facade or exists alone. It belongs to the fairy tale land of Oz, Treasure Island, which can create magic, and almost all existences or behind-the-scenes organizations that can be related to black technology. In the final analysis, its technological principles are, It’s all this steam fairy tale technology.
The only difference lies in the direction of specialization and subsequent development.
The steam core of Steam City is one of the undecrypted backgrounds in the game. This thing consumes huge amounts of energy every day. This must be meaningful, but no one has explored what exactly it is maintaining. Some strategy teams believe that it is maintained very well. Maybe it's the entire Crazy Alice's Wonderland country. The entire country exists on this piece of steam technology.
But no matter what it maintains, the Steam City at this time is a huge trouble for the four Charles people, not only the monsters that are rampant inside, but also the steam itself that emerges from every corner of the city all the time. .
"laugh"
Just when Charles and a few people ran down a staircase following the guidance of a pipe, a gap suddenly opened in the pipe at the end of the staircase. A large amount of steam erupted along the crack, and the scorching high temperature even burned the surrounding steel plates and the ground. It turned red and shiny in an instant.
For players, coming to the Steam City, they can easily avoid the steam whether by relying on magic or their own movement skills. But for the four little guys like Charles, all kinds of steam leaking and pouring from the pipes Steam is a complete obstacle to road closures.
"Ah ah ah"
"It's so hot that it burns me to death."
The sudden burst of steam startled everyone, and Dudley, who was running faster, almost fell into it. Fortunately, his reaction was unusually sensitive. Even so, his hand was still severely hit by the high temperature transmitted by the iron railing. He took a peck, leaving a large red mark.
"asshole"
"go to hell"
While Dudley was blowing on his hand, he kicked hard at the pipe next to him. Harry and Hermione were so frightened that they quickly pulled him aside.
Is this idiot planning to kick out another hole and steam them all?
The sudden burst of steam scared even Ciel into a cold sweat.
The temperature of the steam in the pipe is extremely high, because the pressure inside the pipe is different from the outside world, and the steam can even reach a high temperature of nearly a thousand degrees. This level of steam can almost boil a person in an instant.
He actually ignored such an important issue.
Sure enough, fatigue can easily lead to accidents.
Charles gritted his teeth and tried to get rid of the dizzy feeling in his head, but unfortunately he couldn't. Instead, his head seemed to hurt even more because of this action.
Hell, now there are steam road closures to consider, and there are even fewer routes to choose from.
The terrain of Steam City is very complicated, like a huge mechanical maze. Although the steam blocks part of the route, after all, Charles has swiped the map countless times and can walk out with his eyes closed.
"look up"
But just when Ciel closed his eyes and meditated, Hermione seemed to have discovered something, pointing to the sky and shouting.
Several people looked up and saw a few dark mist floating in the sky. They slowly gathered from a distance. They were not fast, but they surrounded the place from all sides, giving people a sense of place. A great sense of depression.
Discovery target: Energetic Resentment Doll
Name: Resentment Doll
Challenge Level: 30
Power: 600
Constitution: 600
Remember: I need a companion, preferably from Hasbro.
"Ignore them and follow me."
Ciel forced himself to cheer up and said.
The Resentful Doll likes to pursue its targets relentlessly, and the only other way to kill them is to hide in a safe house.
And in his current state, he is really not suitable for traveling long distances or challenging any difficult hidden routes. The safe house that is closest to here and easily accessible is the most suitable choice.
Ciel thought for a moment and found that there really was one.
It's close, and not hard to reach, without having to jump over a matrix of broken steel steps or climb over a giant smelting furnace. .Just need to climb a relatively narrow internal pipe.
Crawling through narrow pipes is not a good experience, but it is much safer than the previous options.
Charles immediately led several people to change directions.
"Work harder, we're almost there."
After running for so long, even Ciel couldn't hold on, and Harry and others were even slower. Hermione tried to support Ciel, but in fact it was Ciel who was leading her forward.
Thanks to the fact that the Resentful Dolls above seemed to continue to gather and did not attack them immediately, they still had time to escape.
Steam City has a sky, and the sky is filled with a red color, like the embers after a fire. .In addition, there is also a thick fog, which is the thick industrial waste gas that gathers over the city and lingers for a long time, just like the foggy London in the past.
The way down the stairs was blocked, so Charles could only turn back with Dudley and others. After walking awkwardly through several paths and shortcuts, the group climbed directly onto the wall of the Steam City.
They were on the outskirts of Steam City, inside the outermost wall and above the inner city wall. Although the height was slightly shorter than the outer wall, they could still see part of the Steam City.
At the far end of the world, a huge metal ball is slowly rotating half on the ground and half underground. Its surface is covered with complex metal patterns, and countless rivets and steel are welded on it, just like an artificial Mechanical Sun.
That's the heart of Steam City.
The core is surrounded by a circle of deep pits. The pits are bottomless, and you can't see what's underneath. Above the pits, there are countless mechanical lives floating slowly in the air, floating freely.
On the periphery of the pit is the densely packed Steam City itself, which looks like a circuit diagram. They spread out in all directions, like a maze with no end in sight.
The sky of Steam City is not lonely. In addition to the mechanical life floating near the core of Steam, there are also many complex and strange suspended life forms scattered in other places in Steam City. Some of them look like machines, and some are completely invisible. I don’t know what it is.
Among them are a large number of resentment dolls.
The light with no visible source was projected from the sky above the rich exhaust gas, and when it fell on the Steam City, it had become dim and colorless, shrouding the entire Steam City in a hazy red like molten iron.
Ciel bit the tip of his tongue again to focus his attention.
He pointed to the side about a hundred meters away from several people, where there were two steel walls very close to each other and about ten meters high.
The walls are part of the entire inner and outer wall structure, running staggered like gears. One side of the wall is close to the city wall, and the other side is connected to the buildings in the city.
The gap left in the middle is so thin that it can only accommodate two people barely passing through.
"There is a hole in the middle of the wall near the inner city side."
"There is a secret pipeline through which we can reach a hidden safe house."
"Once there, we'll be safe."
In the sky, thick black fog is gathering, and their number is increasing, like a dark cloud.
In the dark alley, there were only the footsteps and panting voices of the four of them. No one spoke, and everyone followed closely behind Charles.
