Creator's Steam Fairy

In the hot summer, there is no need to consider the issue of heating for the time being, and because Luria can drive a steam car, coal, fuel oil and a full high-pressure steam bottle are more than enough.

Tea, coffee, spices, sugar, and wine hardly need to worry about stock... Alice doesn't drink tea, Abby doesn't drink coffee, and Loria doesn't drink alcohol.

All kinds of tools and clothing are available.

In short, the materials and supplies are sufficient, except that the diet will gradually become monotonous after a period of time, they can maintain a fairly good life in the wilderness

The worst enemies are boredom and social isolation...it's almost like a trip away from reality.

"I'd like a refill, please."

"Okay, miss."

……

Alice has a good habit of falling asleep as soon as she touches a pillow, and this habit is especially valuable nowadays... She can quickly replenish sleep in sections, restore physical strength, and let her body rest.

But today, it was not until Loria returned from the wilderness that she put down her books and drew the curtains.

She intends to let little pink hair work hard, while she sleeps until dark... let her be vigilant during the day, and things like night watch... it's more reasonable to leave it to the adults.

She chose the small room next to Luria, and she didn't understand why... It was as if she planned to kill this little pink hair who was against her, but when she saw her, her rationality was always suppressed... I couldn't hold it hostile.

No, even reason told her not to hurt Xiaofenmao.

why?

Lying on the soft bed, even though she is as strong as she is, she can't help but sigh softly. The rigid suspension is wild and handsome, but it is also really painful.

The next moment, she fell into a deep dream...

In the distance, black flames swept across the sky, and there were bursts of irritating drumbeats in her ears... She was walking through the dark-toned earth with the delicate doll that looked like a miniature version of Loria.

There was a big hole in the ground, and there was an endlessly echoing scream of pain coming from it.

A disgusting flute sounded, and the hole in the ground seemed to be bigger.

Someone in the sky is sighing, sighing meaninglessly; someone on the ground is crying, crying in vain.

She was restless and had a splitting headache.The next moment, everything around him changed.

The morning sun falls on the forest in the morning, filled with the chirping of insects and birds, and the cool dew seems to gather around her, soothing her and taking away all the restlessness.

A dreamy female voice that seems to exist and does not seem to exist...

Protect her...the last resort...the only salvation...protect her...

Picking up the doll on the ground, her body and mind returned to peace.

……

Alice turned over, her originally frowning brows relaxed, and the boring conversation between Luria and Abigail was faintly heard outside the window.

No one has ever noticed that the little god statue placed on the desk by Luria gradually faded away from the faint brilliance at the partition wall.

……

After dawn, Loria and Abigail took the remaining milk for breakfast.

Milk was the first to be removed from the recipe.

Afterwards, the maid took a basket of vegetables with soil and went to the enclosed garden behind the house to dig the soil. She wanted to try to grow something.

Those with intact rhizomes may be able to be replanted in the soil, and those that contain their own seeds, like beans, can also be tried.

Before the weather was too hot, Loria ran into the wilderness again. She was going to see the small pond—the pond hadn't been filled yet, but it was coming soon.

She remembered the theory called 'ecology' she had read in the newspaper, so she decided to just let the stream stay here for a little longer.

After recovering some of her magic power, she only dug a shallow ditch this time and connected it to the original stream.

After finishing, Loria squatted back to the small pond, quietly watching the stream flow into the pond little by little. The muddy water in the pond was turbid, completely contrary to the beautiful scene that Loria expected.

Not wanting to wait for the impurities to slowly settle, she intervened again.

Crush together with water and impurities in it... now it's called decomposition.

Soon, the impurities disappeared...along with the accumulated pool water, and the pond got a little deeper.

She stared at her fair little hands in a daze... The so-called decomposition, if it can improve the accuracy and reduce the consumption... Do you want to find a construction job in the future?

Although she can't build a house, she is good at tearing it down.

Or... can she lead a river to transform the disaster-corrupted wilderness?

Although the great wilderness that occupies most of the world is still theoretically demarcated by various countries, as long as individuals can occupy and develop it, and pay a negligible fee, they can take it for themselves.

The unemployed priestess squatting by the small pond is torn between becoming a pioneer landowner and working in the construction industry.

What kind of job should I find in the future?

Chapter 40 Wilderness (5)

Last night in June.

After cleaning herself up, Alice went out and saw Fenmao and her maid sitting around the campfire, eating fruit, talking and laughing, looking at ease.

She also rarely relaxed.

Luria's magic item hut is too perfect - it allows them to get enough rest in the wilderness and easily carry a lot of supplies.

Never escaped such a rich run.

"So. Are we going to go further into the wilderness?"

Luria handed over a peach and asked, "It's time to react tonight and send someone to chase us."

"Almost, according to my experience, it should be an advance team of two to three people, in order to find out our tracks. More people will be fully prepared before setting off... It is better to stop and stop than to flee. People are slow, but generally speaking, there are more chasers, better preparations, and a calmer mentality... Most of the successful chases drive the prey to a dead end, causing the prey to make mistakes, consume, and eventually lose The physical strength, spirit and materials to continue to escape.”

After thinking for a while, Alice added: "Don't be impatient, as long as we have sufficient supplies and steam vehicles, we will be invincible as long as we don't make mistakes."

Maintaining a good attitude and sufficient physical strength is the key to a successful escape.

"Then let's set off at midnight tomorrow... According to your guess, what is their general situation?"

Loria made a decision after thinking about it.

"The advance will go on the road lightly, with a high probability of riding a horse, leaving marks along the way, and after entering the wilderness for a period of time, they will stop and wait for backup. If there are enough of them, they may even build a logistics camp outside the wilderness. It may be Using steam machinery, but..." Alice glanced at Loria at this point, "but even if they can supplement the water lost by the boiler in the wilderness, there is no way to guarantee the supply of fuel."

The gap in supplies will be smoothed out after a period of time, unless they continue to go deeper into the wilderness.

But no matter how much fuel you carry, you will run out one day, and it is impossible to carry too much. Adding too much weight will only slow down the speed and increase consumption, and wait for the people behind to replenish fuel...

The theory works, but people are not precise machines.

Zambia's army is not elite enough to fully support its logistics capabilities in the vast wilderness, especially since they may not be able to see the light very well and cannot use too many people.

Unless they use the precious Leia crystal.

"Understood, then start preparations at four o'clock tomorrow morning, please make some messy traces to guide them in the general direction, it's best to show that we are in a bad situation... Abby and I will go to bed first."

After eating the peach in her hand, Luria stood up and clapped her hands with a smile. After understanding the gap between the two sides, she planned to play with those villains in the wilderness.

Let them live in a tent for a month under the harassment of snakes, mice, rats and ants.

It's better to have some more disasters, consuming precious fuel and energy.

As for her resolution, Abigail would naturally not object, and Alice just nodded with a smile.

Give the enemy vague clues and false hopes, and play with them not far or near, the silver-haired girl picks the corners of her mouth, this little pink-haired girl is really sinister.

In the early morning of the next day, after eight hours of sleep, Loria was refreshed and energetic.

The magic power is fully restored, and the body is no longer sore. It is a good time to start.

Alice took some wood and leftover kernels and began to set up a fake camp.

Abigail filled the boiler with water and put away the dried clothes and socks neatly one by one—naturally, she didn’t use the precious fresh water stored, but used the upstream water by the pond that Loria dug out. The stream water and soap have been washed repeatedly, and they are fragrant...Because she is not very good at using this kind of fresh life gadget, she slipped two pieces of soap into the pool... Fortunately, the soap is on the list of her supplies for free use , the category that is simply impossible to exhaust.

Almost all the clothes to dry belonged to Luria, who changed her body every day, and there were a few of her own.

As for the silver-haired traveling companion, she didn't ask, and the other party didn't mention it, so naturally she didn't need to do anything.

Luria piled two rifles, pistols and corresponding bullets on the car, and carried two cans of flamethrower connected to the ignition nozzle to the car, tied them and fixed them.

The boiler boiled, and a generator hidden somewhere turned on the headlights.

They strapped themselves tightly to their seats, reliving the power of the earth.

……

From now on, the whole company will be ready to set off, conduct military reconnaissance on the scheduled western expedition route, and provide specific terrain and water source information for follow-up troops.

This is an open and clear order.

Talos took out another piece of paper full of code names and unintelligible sentences from his pocket, without signature or seal.

Generally speaking, the order of the first investigation has nothing to do with their superficial garrison... But who let the real order make them related?

Conduct exercises in the wilderness to test the performance of new weapons.

Capture or kill three experimental materials that may know top-secret matters, one of which is suspected of being a magician, which can be used as an object for team combat exercises.

Assist in the relocation of the laboratory, move the base to the wilderness and guard the laboratory on the spot.

Talos checked the codebook and deciphered it, then burned the paper.

Probably because of the second task, it led to the third task. As for the first exercise, let’s do the exercise. Anyway, if you want to move, then drive out the airship and chariot.

Of course, the garrison cannot have these equipments, they have to be smuggled out.

Thinking of the specific description of the three targets...the three girls in their early twenties, if they fled south, they would be caught sooner or later; if they entered the wilderness...

Then there is no need to chase, it must not last too long.

Relocating and securing the lab is the top priority.

Although he had his own interpretation of the order, Talos would not make his own claim. He called an adjutant to convey the order.

The five scouting cavalry were divided into two groups and pursued lightly, plus a whole team carrying supplies and then supporting; the two teams first carried basic materials into the wilderness to establish an outpost, waiting for the main force to meet with the relocated laboratory.

The experiment must go on, elite fighters like them... Talos tapped the small metal box under his shirt... Only more elite fighters like them who are enlightened can restore the glory of the Zambian Empire.

……

"Alice, do you know where the metal is under the ground?"

After the boiler was overheated, Loria threw away the metal rod interface of the magic power transfer, and shouted through the small window to the silver-haired girl driving the Defender of the Holy Cult.

"Metal under the ground?"

Alice, who was steering the steering wheel, was dizzy from the shock. She slowed down a little, and the noise and vibration finally became smaller. "You mean metal ore?"

Why do you suddenly ask this, do you want to mine in the wilderness?

There are indeed many large mines in the wilderness, but they are all heavily fortified by various countries.

After thinking for a while, she replied: "You see strangely colored stones, and you can probably find metal mines by digging down."

Red orange yellow green blue indigo purple, either copper ore or iron.

As for other rare ores?

It's better to keep your feet on the ground. You're lucky if you can come across a small amount of copper and iron.

"When you see something wrong with the stone on the road, remember to stop and take a look. Anyway, go to the place with metal."

Luria, who was so shaken that her words trembled, picked up the metal rod again.

Alice, on the other hand, was at a loss and changed direction based on her feeling.

Chapter 41 Wilderness (6)

Near noon, the defenders of the holy religion stopped at the foot of a hill.

Alice flipped through the map, and Loria also put her head in the past. They walked around for nearly 7 hours, 170 kilometers away. Alice, who was not sure about the exact direction, estimated that she had only traveled less than 130 kilometers. straight-line distance.

The broken plateau made the steamer stuck in a no-way situation from time to time, and when it encountered small steep slopes and not too deep cracks, it lowered Loria to make way--digging steep slopes into gentle slopes and blasting gaps into depressions.

When encountering too large a terrain obstacle, they had no choice but to take a detour.

Fortunately, the terrain will also affect the possible pursuers. It would be better to say that they will be more uncomfortable without humanoid excavators.

"Further to the west, we will reach the danger zone, where disasters are dense, and there are super-large disasters that we cannot deal with." Alice pointed to the map and said to Loria: "We are probably in this generation, the edge of the Broken Plateau , make a circle to the southwest to avoid places with dense disasters.”
