Even though her speed and stamina had reached an astonishing level, Lin Sanjiu didn't think that she could walk for 10,000 kilometers.
When she fought in the Provincial Hospital in Kisaragi Station World, even though she was fast enough to leave afterimages, it was mostly due to the explosive force in her legs. If she had to travel at a constant speed, her speed wouldn't exceed 300 kilometers per hour.
If Lin Sanjiu traveled at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour, she would need at least 30 hours to reach the Free District where Seagral Square was located. Even though this speed was much faster than most other modes of transportation, it seemed feasible. However, the distance between the Cyber District and the Free District was not a plain. If Lin Sanjiu had to eat, rest, cross the ocean, and climb the mountains, she would need at least one to two months to cover the 10,000 kilometers.
Moreover, this didn't include the various accidents that might happen along the way. If she was unlucky, the day of the transfer would arrive before she reached the Free District. Such an extreme situation wasn't impossible.
"Gosh, why did they throw me so far away …" Lin Sanjiu mumbled to herself as she looked at the map in her hand. Not only was the distance between the two places very far, but from the color of the map, she could tell that the terrain was quite complicated. Putting everything else aside, Lin Sanjiu had no idea what to do with the sea area that was as big as a corner of the Pacific Ocean.
She was so worried about how to get to the Free District that she did not realize that she and her two gigantic wings had completely blocked the view of the stall that was selling maps. The stall owner glanced at her every few seconds until he saw another posthuman who looked like a country bumpkin walking past the stall. Finally, he could not help but call out to her, "Miss!"
"Hmm?" Lin Sanjiu turned to look at the short, bearded stall owner who looked like a dwarf.
"Do you have any questions?" The stall owner was quite good at doing business, "... Maybe I can help."
"Oh, I want to go to the Free District," Lin Sanjiu smiled at him. She felt a headache coming on, "But it's too far."
"Don't tell me you want to walk there?" The stall owner also smiled. "I see that you're new here. How about this, I might as well tell you in detail."
As he spoke, he took out another map and showed it to Lin Sanjiu, "This is the transportation map and the distribution of power in Red Nautilus. Do you see this little yellow symbol? That was the ship's registration point. Taking a spaceship is safe and fast, and as long as you're willing to spend money, you can rent any kind of spaceship. You only need to transfer two or three times to reach the Free Zone. "
"Oh, there's such a place!" Lin Sanjiu was taken aback. She immediately stretched out her hand to take the map. Halfway through, she saw the stall owner's smile and sighed, "How much is it?"
"You just bought my stuff. How about this, I'll give you a traffic map and a map of the factions' distribution. I'll give you one medium crystal."
This was obviously a rip-off price for foreigners.
However, Lin Sanjiu didn't mind. After some thought, she took out a medium crystal and handed it over.
The stall owner beamed and said, "Thank you! Oh right, the price of a spaceship is fixed. You can go to the registration point and take a look. Don't get cheated. "
Lin Sanjiu looked at him helplessly. She folded the map and put it away, but she didn't leave. She asked, "Uncle, I saw a huge black shadow in the gap between the buildings. What was that?"
"Oh, that." The stall owner looked a little surprised. "You don't know?"
Lin Sanjiu shook her head.
"Aren't those the Red Nautilus? The name of this world comes from those things. "
Lin Sanjiu's jaw dropped. She had heard that this apocalyptic world was invaded by an extraterrestrial creature called the Red Nautilus. However, she didn't expect it to be so huge. Furthermore, it was still here. "Could it be that we're still at war?"
"We've already defeated them. Those nautilus are just empty shells," the stall owner waved his hand proudly.
It was hard for Lin Sanjiu to imagine how the humans had won the war against such a huge opponent. She pondered for a few seconds before she quickly asked, "Oh right, which faction does this Cyber District belong to? Uncle, have you heard of Puppeteer? "
"Oh … I've heard of him," the short man hesitated for a moment. He glanced at Lin Sanjiu and said vaguely, "But I don't know much. Alright, you don't have to ask so much. You will find out eventually. "
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help feeling a little puzzled after the stall owner dismissed her with a few words.
However, just like what he said, she would find out about the Red Nautilus eventually. After she met Reno and Rena, she would have all the answers.
Her top priority now was to head to the airship's registration point.
Dragging her two large wings, Lin Sanjiu unfolded the map. She looked at the streets and asked for directions. Soon, she figured out that the nearest airship's registration point was about half a day's walk away.
Since she had nothing to do, Lin Sanjiu asked for directions and headed straight to the airship's registration point.
Along the way, Lin Sanjiu had seen many new, interesting, and surprising sights, but she did not encounter any major incidents. Regardless of whether it was the posthumans who had entered the Twelve Worlds Centrum through their own efforts or the residents who had grown up in the Twelve Worlds Centrum, they maintained a warm distance and politeness. This kind of phenomenon was probably built on the foundation that everyone had extremely powerful martial strength.
What Lin Sanjiu didn't know was that a woman like her, who looked like a foreigner, was treated with more respect. The reason was simple. Someone who could enter the Twelve Worlds Centrum under such circumstances was definitely not a simple character.
Lin Sanjiu soon arrived at the airship's registration point.
It was said that this registration point was not particularly big. However, its entrance and waiting area were already comparable to the airport terminals on Earth. The silvery and sleek building was shaped like an egg. Looking through the dark glass on its body, they could only see a few spots of light. It was impossible to tell what was inside.
Lin Sanjiu walked around the building. Finally, she saw a sign in the distance that said "Ticket Office" in many languages. She immediately felt a little excited and rushed over. Like many other posthumans, she looked up at the constantly scrolling electronic screen and found the flight and ticket prices to her destination.
There were no direct airships to the Free District. You could either buy a ticket or transfer to another airship. Lin Sanjiu scanned through the screen and immediately felt a headache coming on.
The cheapest ticket to the Free District was 24 large crystals and 8 medium crystals.
