Keiko, who had been in this world for two days, finally saw the tip of the iceberg of the seven major city-states and temporarily got out of the dangerous situation.
From the moment she entered the city, she finally began to try to integrate into this brand-new society. There were still many things she didn't understand or was not familiar with, and she needed to learn and master them carefully.
The third squadron entered Valhalla city from Crimea, the southernmost connecting city of the seven city-states.
The Crimean Region belongs to the affiliated cities of the seven major city-states. According to the classification, the seven major city-states are first-level cities, and the Crimean region belongs to the second-level cities.
It is located at the southernmost end of the seven major city-states. It also served as the regional function of connecting Valhalla, the city of war, and Ydalir, the city of adventurers, as well as an extremely important strategic hub. It was heavily guarded and had numerous military installations.
It is the exit shared by the army and adventurers and also one of the most important gates of the seven city-states. This is the base camp of the century-old struggle, the strategic base established when mankind first united. Named after the Crimean Peninsula of Greece in the old era, meaning "the place of origin of the south".
Keiko and the others did not stay in the Crimea region. They entered the city from the outer urn city of Crimea (commonly known as the Crimean outer region), so they went straight to the northwest, passed through the Crimea region, and prepared to start from Valhalla.
Keiko sat in the car, silently and curiously observing the city scenery of this era along the way. She found that almost all the buildings in the Crimea region were made of stone, and the color looked like blueish-grey, exactly the same color as the city walls. The style of architecture reminded her of Art Deco architecture.
She looked at the information in the network and found that the buildings in the town, the city wall, and even the conspicuous Tower of Babel were made with the same material called "Miracle Stone."
This was a brand-new material, produced after the great change in the earth's crust. It has a compact structure and was extremely hard, making it hard to cut. Despite its rigidity, the material was relatively light in weight and easier to transport. The most magical thing about this material was its ability to self-repair without the need for external assistance. For example, if we cut a whole piece of miracle stone into two pieces cleanly and stuck them together again, it wouldn't take a few minutes before they were reconnecting, as if they had never been cut at all.
Due to this feature, the construction work volume was greatly reduced, and a lot of materials, money, and manpower were saved so that such a magnificent city wall and the giant tower could be successfully built in half a century.
The great Federal Marshal Heisenberg once said, "Miracle Stone is evidence that the gods have not given up on human beings. It is because of this gift that we have been able to obtain a precious breathing space for survival."
Today's seven major city-states all rely on the tall city walls built with miracle stone to protect the lives of more than 500 million federal citizens. From the 100-meter city wall to the 50-meter-underground defensive bunkers; from the towering towers to ordinary dwellings; even the material used to make the ID bracelet was miracle stone. So far, neither the Zerg nor the Predators have been able to break through such man-made natural fortifications.
At the same time, Keiko also found that there were many tall buildings in the city. In the Crimean Region, the high-rise buildings are mainly the army's command center or the munitions company's office building. But none of those buildings stood taller than the city wall. In the entire Federation, the Babel Tower was the only man-made building that exceeded the height of the city walls.
After they passed through the second area outside Valhalla and officially entered the southern end of the city of Valhalla, they were met with another scene.
This area contains a row of apartment buildings, all of which are in residential areas. The road had become an asphalt road. The streets are spacious and straight, and the buildings are also neat and symmetrical. The area of each residential area was very large, which couldn't compare to the housing community in Keiko's era. This was the military residence area where the family members of the military lived.
The Valhalla City, also known as the "City of War", was the city-state with the largest number of soldiers and the home base of the lawful neutral camp. Several elite divisions of the Federation were stationed in this city, and most of the military strength of the Western Army and a small part of the Central Army was concentrated here.
The Third Squadron marched all the way to the northwest in a convoy, passing through the military settlement. Gradually, the high-rise buildings disappeared, and more low-rise buildings appeared on the scene. You could see many factories or gymnasium-like buildings with a very large area.
At 10:30 in the morning, the third squadron, which had been on the road overnight, finally arrived at the destination of the trip – the Ein City of the Valhalla City State. This was the headquarters of a large group of the Western Army Mecha Division, or in other words, the base camp of their squadrons.
Keiko, whose body was sticky and sour-smelling, returned to the camp as soon as they dismissed. The first thing she did was go straight to her dormitory to take a shower and change her clothes and then fell back to sleep.
When she reached the rank of second lieutenant in the army, the dormitory was upgraded to a single room, with a complete bathroom and kitchenette, and the living facilities were furnished with the furniture provided. The furnishings in the house are very simple, in line with the feeling of a soldier. The original owner of this body once lived here for more than ten days. Looking at the layout of the house, the original Keiko was a girl who liked to be clean and tidy. Casual and simple, it was very similar to the current Keiko.
Captain Cathy gave all the officers and soldiers a day off to let everyone rest since the next morning there was a collective meeting of the entire squadron, which was scheduled to summarize the mission and announce the next plan.
