wandering in the ashes of meman

Chapter 24: Chapter 24
"Oh hoo~ Hela, I feel like I'm flying now!"

Walking through the vast west, Ashes was very excited to drive a locomotive for the first time. If it weren't for the barrier of the visor, his current image might be a husky with his mouth open against the wind.

According to Hella's speculation, the place where they were sent by Ancient One should be the Great Plains beside the Rocky Mountains in the western United States.The Great Plains are the most important food export base of the United States.But Ashes didn't see any wheat fields or corn fields along the way.But if it's just a field of wheat or corn, Ashes probably won't be of much interest either.After all, Ashes had seen this kind of thing long ago... Although it was a trip, Ashes rejected Hela's idea of ​​going to the Rocky Mountains without hesitation.Because of things like mountains, Ashes didn't think there was anything more amazing than Rhodeland... Hela could only shake her head helplessly.

The reason why she proposed to go to the Rocky Mountains is also very simple. It can be as far away as possible from the eastern part of the United States where New York is located... It's a pity that after being rejected by Ashes, Hela can only choose to give up this idea... She has no choice but to give up on Ashes. Requests never seem to be denied.

Compared with the despicable outsider, Ashes is much more innocent... Or simply because of illiteracy.

Gu Yi may still have a little conscience. After being teleported to the western United States, Ashes and Hella saw a long road after walking for a short time.According to the imprint printed on the road, this should be the world-famous 66 road. Route 66 has always been affectionately called "Mother's Road" by Americans.This construction project has provided tens of thousands of jobs for the United States in difficult times, and has become a life-saving straw for many workers to maintain their livelihoods.And he appeared in many important events in American history.It runs from Santa Monica, Los Angeles, California, in the western United States to Chicago, Illinois, on the eastern coast.Later, it even extended directly to Santa Monica, which can be said to run through the entire United States... and as it is said, now the ashes are getting closer and closer to New York, which is located in the eastern United States.

"That Guy Gu Yi definitely did it on purpose!" Hela gritted her teeth and thought silently in her heart.Regarding this, Ashes Dao didn't have much feeling.Now he should still be silent on the exciting motorcycle experience...

Ashes didn't include all senses including touch and pain...except hearing.Because Ashes was born, Ashes has never been able to understand why some people are so afraid of death.Although Ashes couldn't feel the strong wind blowing towards his face, Ashes could hear the sound of the storm passing by his ears.This feeling is a bit like a game, although only the sound effect can be heard and the picture can be seen, but even so, it is a very novel experience for Ashes... There is no game installed on Gu Yi's computer, after all, no matter what People who talk about it are basically to treat diseases or learn knowledge.So the experience, like now, gives Ashes a slightly, slightly different feel.

The locomotive is specially made by Hela. It is said to be a locomotive, but it is actually a simple combination of magic power into the shape of a car... and the real shape of the car has some steampunk elements.The energy that makes the car move forward is also very simple, that is, magic power.Although Ash doesn't have magic power, Hela does.And more importantly, besides Hella, the solution in the gray element bottle can also be used as gasoline.

Only a few drops of the high-concentration cooled campfire solution are enough to make the locomotive on which Ashes sits run wildly for three days and three nights without sleep... So, on this road, there was such a strange scene:
A man wearing black armor was riding a black motorcycle, but because it was judged as equipment, his body was dyed with a little bit of glow like molten iron, and a motorcycle was also riding but flashing dark purple fluorescent light , a woman wearing a strange tights is speeding along this empty Route 66... ​​With the change of the times, there are not many cars on the current Route 66, because no matter it is travel or any other transportation For other things like cargo, trains, planes, and ships will be better choices.Therefore, the current Route 66 represents the spiritual and cultural symbol of the United States in more cases.Therefore, Route 66, which used to have tens of millions of trips per day, may not even have ten trips per day... and most of these ten trips are road travel enthusiasts or Texas. Contributed by the locomotive riders.

After running for about an hour or so... To be precise, Ashes had already started to feel bored five or ten minutes ago... In fact, she can't be blamed for this... Basically, there was no change along Route 10.Basically, everything along the way is unchanged, far away from the civilization of the Gobi Yellow Sand, and sometimes you don’t look carefully and think you are standing still.Although it was fun at the beginning, have you ever seen a racing game that basically has no points setting, almost no turning, and even the scenery does not change?
If so, it's a crap game...or rather, it doesn't even deserve to be called a game.

Just as Ashes was thinking, a voice suddenly came from the side.It wasn't Hella's voice, but the voice of a slightly magnetic adult male.

"Hey, I didn't expect to see such a unique rider on Route 66. What's your name?"

One was wearing a Mexican cape and a cowhide sun visor on his head.It was clearly not fastened and he was still driving at high speed, but the cowboy hat was firmly on his head as if glued.It is worth mentioning that on his chest, there is also an old-fashioned sheriff's badge from the Westward Movement of the United States... Although neither Ashes nor Hella know what that thing represents.

Breathing out a smoke ring with a cigar in his mouth, the man sped up to the side of Ashes and said to those who were interested: "My name is Jesse McRae. What about you? We are all rider enthusiasts, next time you go on a road trip You can call me~"

"My name is Ashes." Ashes never rejects the matter of making friends, but it is a pity that Ashes basically encounters wandering souls that have lost their humanity on the way of spreading fire.Even the partners who spread the fire together, most of them are pessimistic and negative misanthrope... What's more, the ashes finally extinguished the flame.

"That guy's name is Hela, and he's my partner."

Hearing Ashes' words, Hela glanced at McCree with a cold expression... It was hard for the two of them to stay together alone, but now a third party suddenly appeared?This makes Hela so happy... To put it bluntly, only when Ashes said that she was his partner did Hela's expression improve a little bit.

"Hella's character has always been like this."

Hearing Ashes' words, McCree just shrugged his shoulders indifferently, opened his mouth and let out a cloud of smoke that was quickly blown away by the strong wind under Ashes' curious eyes, and asked in a pleasant voice, "Where are you going?"

"No destination."

"what?"

Hearing Ashes' words, McCree on the side blinked in doubt.But Ashes said indifferently: "I just came out to play, so I don't know where the destination is... Speaking of which, where are we heading?"

Hearing Ashes' words, McCree at the side was silent for a moment and then looked at Hela at the side.

"Has he always been like this?"

"……Um."

Hearing Hella's words, McCree was silent for a moment and then shook his head with emotion.

"That's really hard work for you..." Said, speeding up to the front of Ashes and Hela, McCree looked at the two of them for a while, shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said: "Whether it's from the image or from other Angle, you're all the weirdest riders I've ever seen."

Hearing this, Ashes glanced at the armor on his body with some doubts. There was nothing dirty on it, so for a while, he couldn't understand what McCree's words meant.While Ashes was still thinking, a silver light around McCree's waist caught Ashes' attention.

Did not hear Ashes' answer, McCree also looked at Ashes at the side, and then followed Ashes' eyes, McCree patted the silver revolver on his waist and said, "Don't worry , I have a license to go out with a gun... and I have no ill will towards you, this is the era of the rule of law~"

"No, I don't want to know what's the use of that thing."

Hearing Ashes' question, McCree was slightly taken aback. This was the first time he heard someone ask himself this question... In America, even a three-year-old child knows what a gun is for.Just when McCree was still thinking about whether Ashes was joking with him, Hela on the side explained coldly: "This is a weapon, you can understand it as a bow with a fast fire rate and a strange shape. crossbow."

Hearing this, Ashes suddenly realized and nodded.Until seeing Ashes suddenly realize, McCree realized that Ashes was not making fun of himself... But then again, in this era, there are still people who don't know what guns are used for? !Thinking about it, he glanced at the armor on Ashes again, and McCree couldn't help but wonder if Ashes had just traveled from ancient times... Wait, America, where even the history books are world history, shouldn't have ancient times, right?

While McRae was thinking about it, Hela, who had a cold face on the side, didn't stop talking, and glanced at the silver revolver around McCree's waist, and Hela continued with disdain: "But considering the attack power, that thing It's no different than a piece of scrap metal."

McCree: "...???"
