The Glory of Noxus.

Chapter 254 Screaming Lift Steam Robot (page 12)

Perhaps the Evolution Day is approaching.

The lower urban areas are gradually getting rid of the chaos and dilapidation of the past, showing unprecedented prosperity.

The once dilapidated and dirty streets are now noisy and lively, with an endless stream of pedestrians.

There is Mrs. Piltover who is well-dressed and chatting and laughing; there is a vendor who spreads a canvas on the barrel and places unknown parts;

Together they form the unique look of the lower urban area.

Huo Jixing walked forward leisurely, observing the surrounding environment with deep eyes.

As he went deeper, the buildings on both sides of the street were quietly changing.

At first he passed buildings decorated with bronze veneers, leaded glass windows and brass eaves.

These clusters of buildings reflect Piltover's technology and prosperity.

But deep in the lower urban area, the gorgeous buildings in front of us gradually disappeared, and older houses appeared.

Old houses made of limestone square bricks as the main material can be seen with chamfered wood, which looks slightly mottled from a distance.

At the same time, Huo Jixing also noticed that the color of the sky began to become a little darker.

The originally clear sky turned into gray clouds, echoing the changes in the surrounding buildings, silently telling the changes in the lower urban area.

Huo Jixing crossed the crowd and walked to the edge of the lower urban area. He saw the cracked and winding ravines, which seemed like scars on the earth, witnessing the vicissitudes and changes of the two cities.

High barbed wire fences surround the gully, warning pedestrians not to get too close.

Many eye-catching warning signs were hung on the barbed wire fence. The writing was mottled and blurred, but the warning messages on them could still be made out.

Huo Jixing stood on the edge, overlooking the You Gully below.

Red golden light filled his eyes, and countless clouds were entangled together, breaking through the sky.

The hazy Zaun was like a roll of dark green cloth with mixed light and shadow, stretched out on the rocky ground of the canyon.

The staggered smoke exhaust pipes and corroded and aging steel walls filter the light coming from above into strange colors.

In addition, there are densely packed workshops, with steam hanging over the domes and rainbows connecting them.

The shimmering smoke from the alchemical furnace spiraled upward, dancing in the breeze.

And in the pervasive haze, the ditch pools were full of water, like emerald mirages, looming.

With his extraordinary eyesight, Huo Jixing saw many flickering fires in the dark shadows, like tiny stars.

Although Za'an has always been shrouded in the twilight covered by haze, the bustling and bustling place has not lost any trace.

The residents here are all-encompassing and the culture is diverse.

Piltover's wealth also fueled Zaun's growth, making it a dark mirror to the city above.

Huo Jixing walked along the ravine and saw a tower made of steel in the distance, rising straight into the sky, majestic and rough.

Under the steel tower, there is a train platform that resembles a carriage in the previous life.

There was already a huge crowd in front of the platform.

They stood or sat, chatted in low voices or waited quietly.

Huo Jixing also saw a lot of graffiti illustrations and texts on the walls outside the platform, which had a vague cyberpunk style.

These graffiti seem to tell people who come here that they will soon enter a different world.

Huo Jixing followed the crowd and entered the steel platform.

Looking around, he found that the platform looked rough, but the internal space was unusually wide.

Even though there are many people waiting, the air still circulates freely and is not dull at all, indicating that the platform has a good ventilation system.

Huo Jixing roughly scanned the crowd of people waiting on the platform. Mrs. Piltover occupied most of them, and occasionally saw a few Zaun people.

"A giant lift?"

Huo Jixing's gaze fell into the distance. About three meters away stood three elevator pillars, each about three centimeters in diameter and made of wrought iron.

Boom! Boom!

Suddenly!

A harsh roar sounded, getting closer and closer.

But for a moment, a huge clicking sound rushed into the platform like a strong wind, hitting the moss-green walls and making a deafening echo.

Huo Jixing heard the sound and saw a strange elevator coming into view at a very fast speed.

Screaming lift!

The name of the elevator came to Huo Jixing's mind, and he looked at it carefully.

The screaming elevator runs on the rails with its huge, round belly filled with countless gears and precision wrought iron structures.

Bang!

There was a dull sound of steel hitting, and the round glass door slowly opened, revealing the clean space inside.

As the screaming elevator arrived, the crowd began to move, like an opened fish can, everyone eager to enter the elevator's cabin.

Huo Jixing waited quietly, his eyes flashing, watching everything in front of him, vaguely recalling the scene of taking the subway when commuting to get off work in his previous life.

At that time, he stood in the crowd like this, waiting for the subway to arrive, and then squeezed into the crowded carriage to start a busy day.

"Don't be crowded, there are plenty of places."

The administrator wearing thick goggles came out and shouted loudly, and the bell-shaped sonar horn carried her voice throughout the platform.

Huo Jixing took a step forward, blended into the crowd, and entered the round iron sheet.

The elevator cabin has many levels, and the main support structure is three longitudinal rails, which are vertical to the ground and at the same height as the ground.

Huo Jixing walked to the top floor and could see a little haze on the surface of the glass.

The administrator waited until everyone had entered the cabin, then walked to the glass door, pressed the switch, and closed the solid glass door.

"Let's go to the dance corridor!"

Sonorous! Sonorous!

When the lift is operating, it makes the sound of mechanical parts snapping together and the soft sound of steam being released.

Huo Jixing felt that the elevator was speeding at an alarming speed, and the surrounding environment was changing rapidly before his eyes.

Piltover gradually disappeared, and the surrounding light became hazy.

Fortunately, the lights at the top came on, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

When it reached its destination, the elevator gradually slowed down and finally stopped completely.

"Currently arriving at the station, dance corridor!"

The bored administrator adjusted his thick goggles and spoke loudly.

"Arrived ahead, border market, Thaumaturgy Magic Academy, Plant Cultivation Center."

Passengers began to pour out of the elevator. Then dozens more people entered the elevator and were scattered throughout the cabin.

Huo Jixing stayed where he was and did not go down. The dance corridor was not his destination.

"The elevator is going down!" the administrator said.

She reached out and rang a huge bell in front of her, and started operating the roulette wheel on a bright red stand.

The elevator made a buzzing sound as it continued to sink, and the exhaust hole at the top roared and released a cloud of steam.
