Mei, the Herrscher of Thunder

because……

They have no way out.

……

Compared with the gloomy and tense atmosphere in the classroom, on the road to the outskirts at this time, the special pick-up car of Lei Dian's family was quite different.

"Miss, why don't you... let Lei Yi drive it! If the head of the family knows that you, as a noble lady, drive for a servant...he will definitely scold you!"

"It's okay! Lei Yi, isn't your hand still hurt? It's better to let me drive. What's more, there are only two of us in the car now. As long as you and I don't tell each other, father won't know... Could it be You can't trust my driving skills?"

"No no no... miss! How dare Lei Yi question you? Lei Yi believes that there is nothing the miss can't do."

"Hehe~ This is an exaggeration. After all, I'm not a god... Be your co-pilot honestly, Lei Yi, just show me the way, don't think too much."

"Okay, miss, please turn left when you reach the fork in the road."

"Well, sit down! Lei Yi, I'm going to speed up!"

"Eh!?"

……

There were only two people in this black limousine.

Among them, the main driver is Mei, and the co-pilot is Lei Yi.

The dignified young lady actually drove for a maid... As Lei Yi said, if Lei Dian Jingtai knew about this, Mei Yi would inevitably be reprimanded again, saying that she had ruined the family style.

And the reason why Mei didn't ask the domestic servant named "Koji" to continue to be the driver this time is actually because the car's back seat and trunk are already full except for the driver's seat!

They are exactly:

Various supplements...such as honey, donkey-hide gelatin and other treasures that are priceless in the Tokyo market today, a few quilts to protect against the cold at night, more than a dozen sets of beautiful children's clothes, several large bags of vegetables and fruits, eggs and other daily necessities Nutrients...

These things that can be called "luxury" in the eyes of ordinary people today are piled up behind Mei and the others, shaking with the bumps of the vehicle. This scene is enough to make a high school student who even eats bean sprouts all day The policeman's eyes straightened.

However, for the huge family property of Lei Dian's family, the value of these things in the car is not even a drop in the bucket.

Although precious supplements such as honey are in short supply in today's apocalyptic world, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them, but for the uncles of Lei Dian's family, they are just some "garbage" that you don't want to eat or even have leftovers.

After all, these are just gifts for those who are willing to try their best to curry favor and curry favor during the holidays.

In Lei Dian's house, there is a special warehouse where these things are piled up. No one in Lei Dian's house moves it, and they don't bother to move it.

If it weren't for Mei Yi's whim today, I'm afraid these treasures on the market will continue to be ashes in that "small dark room".

As for the fact that Mei can drive a car...

Although the "she" in this world did not have a driver's license, in the original Honkai world, when Mei was a Valkyrie in St. Freya Academy, she had acquired all the necessary skills. Mastered.

In the field called learning, she Raiden Mei is an out-and-out genius. Compared with a certain "white-haired idiot" who can't even pass the daily written test, she is simply a world away.

Maybe you will question, can the driving knowledge learned in that world really be used to drive cars in this world?

However, Mei can tell you that it is really possible!

To be honest, sometimes even she finds it incredible.

Why are cultures, technologies, languages, etc. all highly similar in different worlds?

This involves all kinds of fallacies, and further investigation will only make people doubt the authenticity of their own existence.

So Mei wisely chose to "let nature take its course".

As long as she keeps getting stronger, one day she will be able to understand the truth of all this.

……

With the passage of time, Mei's driving skills have also changed from jerky to proficient, and even to a superb level. This terrifying talent is enough to make most old drivers feel ashamed.

Obviously it was the first time to drive in reality, but it felt like a veteran driving for several years.

At the same time, relying on Herrscher's inhuman dynamic vision, Mei can do things that are difficult for ordinary people to accomplish with existing driving skills, such as high-speed drifting, overtaking and other thrilling operations.

Because of this, under Mei's gentle and graceful appearance, a heart that had been silent for a long time began to move around, and the attribute called "drag racing" was activated unconsciously.

For example, a lady from a noble family who has the appearance of Yamato Nadeko, shows all kinds of gentle and pleasant appearances on weekdays, but in fact she is a wild racing girl in her heart...

This kind of setting makes people feel exciting just thinking about it!

In this way, Mei felt the joy that was different from the usual practice.only……

It's hard for Lei Yi in the passenger seat.

Didn't you see the poor baby-faced maid who was slumped on the seat and didn't dare to move?Her eldest lady's cute appearance which is different from usual really made her "surprised and delighted".

But regardless of the various interesting things that happened along the way, as the towering giant stone monument in the distance is getting closer and closer, until it covers the entire field of vision...

Mei and the others finally reached the outskirts.

Chapter 29 Chapter 28 Peripheral Area

It is now 2031, and it has been ten years since gastrulation appeared on a large scale and Japan's defeated territory shrunk to five major regions.

During these ten years, the plundered generations have tried their best to develop, and only then can the civilization of the Tokyo area be restored to the level of the first half of the 2020s.

However, this does not include the immediate peripheral area.

……

The moment Mei stepped out of the car, what she saw and heard made the smile on her face disappear quickly.

At the end of the line of sight, the colossal thing that soared into the sky—a gigantic stone tablet made up of several tons of steel like stacked logs stood there like this, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.

Giant phobia, this is a warning engraved in human genes.Small things may not be threatening, but big things are definitely not safe.

This is true of all living things.

Fortunately, today's weather is not bad, with white clouds floating leisurely, wisps of sunlight falling from the gaps between the clouds... Against the backdrop of this "background board", the huge monster in sight is more in line with its "Tokyo" Magnificent image of District Guardian".

Otherwise, if it is cloudy and rainy, the megalithic monument is definitely like a prehistoric monster crawling in the mist, which makes people shudder.

Slowly pulling her gaze back, listening to the whistle from the tram station not far away, Mei began to scan the wasteland in front of her.

That's right, the wilderness.

The outlying area in front of me is said to be ruins.

Looking around, everything in sight is barren, only scattered dilapidated buildings are located like bunkers in the mountains, most of which have been occupied by the exposed yellow land and weeds. Not a single person was there.

This is the Tokyo area?

If it wasn't for the sign on the side of the road showing that they are currently in District No. 30, Mei would have thought that she had driven the car into an old forest deep in the mountains.

"Miss" seemed to see her doubts, and Lei, whose face was slightly pale, began to explain: "District 39 is divided into more than a dozen small areas, and those near the inner city are the locations of some new energy factories, and our The place to go is not strictly paved..."

"Paving the road?" Hearing Lei Yi's explanation, Mei also noticed this matter.

Lowering their heads, the road under their feet is now paved with asphalt, flat and smooth. Compared with the potholed wasteland and scattered dilapidated houses around them, it is like a scene of two worlds.

In this way, the problem arises.

Why is the road paved so well and so smooth, but those dilapidated houses and wasteland are not repaired and tidied up?

Seeing the doubts on Mei's face, Lei Yi spoke at the right time, acting as a qualified commentator.

"Miss, it seems that the Tokyo District Government has no intention of restoring this place."

"Don't want to recover?" Hearing this, Mei raised his eyebrows, turned his head and looked at the tram that was slowly leaving not far away, "Then why are there trams and paved roads here? If you don't want to rebuild the outer area, do these things Doesn't it make sense?"

"You're right, miss." Lei nodded and looked in another direction, "Actually, according to the information Lei Yi got, there are three uses for the outer area today."

"Three?"

"Well. Today's outer area is not only the location of the atomic power plant with high operating risks, but also a garbage disposal station for processing the garbage generated in the inner city every day. In the end, it is used to bulldoze this wasteland and sprinkle genetically modified seeds. These three uses of cultivated land."

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Mei's expression turned a little ugly.

"These three uses, no matter which one of them didn't take into account the cursed children living here, those guys really don't treat them as human beings..."

"Yes, Missy." Lei nodded, with some indignation on his face.

If they hadn't been in contact with them, Mei and Lei Yi probably wouldn't have this feeling.

But so far, the two have met several cursed children one after another, and at the same time, they also deeply understand that except for their extraordinary physique, their temperament is almost no different from ordinary children.

Those plundered generations didn’t give them the human rights they deserved in the inner city, bullied and insulted them in every possible way, and now they plan to transform their last shelter into a power plant, a garbage disposal station and arable land?

This is obviously an attempt to drive out all the cursed sons in Tokyo!

"Let's go! Get in the car, Lei Yi, so what if we don't pave the road? We can just use the car to open a road!"

After saying this with a gloomy face, Mei opened the car door again and sat in the driver's seat.

Hearing her words, Lei Yi's face paled slightly, his whole body trembled unnaturally, his face was determined, as if he was rushing to the execution ground, and he slowly climbed into the passenger seat.

"Fasten your seat belts, we're going... huh? What's wrong with you, Lei Yi?" Mei, who was about to step on the gas pedal after plugging in the car key and turning on the ignition, suddenly caught a glimpse of the pale face of the maid beside her, so she stopped to be concerned road.

"It's...it's okay, miss, please continue to do your own thing, don't worry about Lei Yi." Sensing Mei's caring gaze, Lei Yi hastily lowered his head and said in a weak voice.

Seeing this situation, if she really continued to drive regardless, then she would not be Raiden Mei.

"Click!" As the car key was pulled out, the "humming" sound of the vehicle engine gradually disappeared.

"Let's talk, Lei Yi." Mei smiled, reached out and turned the maid's drooping head until it was level with her, "What's the matter? Don't worry, you should know my character, even if you treat me and I won't be angry if the Leiden family is dissatisfied."

Looking at the beautiful face in front of him, an unnatural blush appeared on Lei Yi's face, and then he quickly looked away, as if he was afraid that he would subconsciously want to get closer.

"Miss, Lei Yi dare not." The girl's tone was still very light, like the drizzle patting on the eaves in early spring, "Just... can you..."

"Please?" Mei subconsciously moved closer, her face full of doubts, as if she wanted to hear her maid's voice as small as a mosquito.

However, from the third-person perspective, the two people in the car are in a very ambiguous state at this time.

The tip of his nose sniffed the vague fragrance of his young lady's body, and the blush on Lei Yi's face suddenly spread to the base of his neck.

She is a low-status maid, while the other party is an incomparably noble young lady.

The identities of the two are too different, the latter's unintentional ambiguous behavior at this time makes the former's brain feel dizzy, this kind of excitement seems to have won the first prize.

"Does the eldest miss really like me? I heard that in the European countries, same-sex marriages have long been recognized by law, then the eldest miss and I..."

Just thinking about it like this, Lei Yi felt her heart was about to jump out, so much so that she even forgot the current environment she was in, and...

The harsh reality right now.

This is destined to be a fruitless unrequited love, like the prince charming who descends from the sky on auspicious clouds in a girl's dream, or the colorful bubbles flying high in the sun.

Dreams always have a time to wake up; and bubbles will turn into nothingness on the way of chasing the sun.

"Lei Yi, are you alright?!" Looking at the maid in front of her who seemed to be caught in some kind of fantasy, her face was blushing to the point of bleeding, Mei stretched out her hand and shook in front of her, her tone gradually became anxious.

"Ah?" Suddenly, all the illusions dissipated, and the "broken" girl gradually woke up.

When she understood that all this was just a self-made sentimental fantasy, before she could calm down the sense of loss in her heart due to the huge gap, her body began to apologize according to the habit engraved in her bones.

"Sorry! Miss, Lei Yi lost his composure..."

"Really? Just recover." Seeing this, Mei's complexion also began to improve. She inserted the car key again and started the engine. "I'll take you to the hospital. Today's visit can only be postponed."

"No...no need! Miss, Lei Yi is fine." Hearing this, Lei Yi shook his head like a rattle.

Even if it is a fantasy, the extremely rare time alone right now cannot be faked...

"Then your face..." Mei looked at her suspiciously.

"It's just..." As if thinking of something, Lei Yi turned his head unnaturally, "It's just that Lei Yi is a little motion sick... please, miss, please drive slowly..."

Hearing her words, Mei's expression suddenly became very strange.

"Lei Yi, what you wanted to say before... Could it be this sentence?"

"...Hmmm" Sensing Mei's intriguing gaze, Lei nodded his head with a shy expression on his face.

Seeing this, Mei was a little dumbfounded.

"You said it earlier! Don't worry, I will drive slowly next time, don't worry."

"Hmm... I'm sorry, miss..."

"It's okay, it's all my fault that I only went by myself and didn't care about your feelings. I should apologize to you."
