"Hello friends, everyone, our ninth branch's ability to identify people, just today, successfully identified a small amount of information about the vision in the sky."
"This vision is suspected to be a type of natural disaster 'demon' called the Rain of Frost."
The name "Frost Rain" seems to imply its ability.
"In Pangea, any identification result has a depth of information."
"Even if it's just a name, it has its true meaning."
Several officers from Yunhai City tapped the table with their fingers, thinking in their minds, is the future focus of research on the combat direction, the glyphs related to temperature?
On the screen, Digdit, the spokesperson of the Ninth Branch, continued: "Only by constantly eating people can Vision accumulate energy and become stronger quickly."
"Now it can't eat people. It can only slowly absorb the spiritual energy emitted by the city. The speed at which it becomes stronger is acceptable..."
"But the time cannot be delayed too long. If it grows to a certain stage and undergoes a qualitative change, we will miss the opportunity."
"I propose that after five years, we all open the safe zone together and capture this anomaly! Five years is enough time to cultivate one's health and produce a large number of weapons and equipment."
In fact, the time agreed upon by everyone at the beginning was ten years, but now, it has been extended to five years.
On the one hand, the emergence of glyph technology has indeed given everyone a lot of confidence.
The carving of glyphs requires materials. In five years, the supernatural materials accumulated in the city have been almost consumed, and it can be considered that our own combat power has reached the peak.
No matter how long it takes, there won't be any more of those non-renewable materials.
On the other hand, the pressure from the people in Rize is quite high.
With aliens as a comparison, human beings are always unwilling to fall behind.
However, the advice of the spokesperson of the Ninth Civilization is very good, but there are very few responders. After all, war will kill people, who will fight?
Who opens the safe zone first and takes the lead?
After being exposed, what should I do if the "frost rain" drifts over?
If someone takes a breath, maybe tens of thousands of people will die?
How should this war be fought?
What should you do if an accident occurs?
Everything is unknown.
"Our ninth city, Lingbo City, can take the lead in canceling the safe zone and fighting this anomaly."
"But I need fire support from all cities, and I need everyone's commitment. A single city has limited resources and cannot hold on for too long."
The conference room fell into silence for a long time.
Even Li Chunhong was a little surprised by the Ninth Civilization's aggressive decision.
Well, if there was a [demon] blocking the outside of Yunhai City, he wouldn't know what to do.
Does Yunhai City really have the courage to fight head-on?
He doesn't know.
The spokesperson of the Ninth City, Digdit, said sincerely: "If we in Lingbo City fight alone, we may not be able to defeat this anomaly."
"When all the population of Lingbo City is eaten up, and it eats tens of millions of people, how far will it grow?"
"Humanity will permanently lose the chance to defeat it!!" He slammed the table.
"You only have one chance. If you want to cancel the safe zone, we will cancel it together and fight together."
"This is the dignity of mankind and the glory of mankind!"
What Digdit said does make sense.
But cold death always conquers everything.
If the safe zone is not revoked, he can still live for three to four hundred years. Fighting the vision, he may die in an instant.
There are 17 human branches, and only a few cities are ambitious.
"Mr. Digdit, the promise you want is too big." Li Chunhong from Yunhai City cheered up for a moment, "It is actually difficult for us to plan for the future in five years, including the production of weapons and the training of talents, especially the production of glyphs.
Research is full of unknowns.”
"The current research is indeed going very well, but it's hard to say what the future will bring."
"Many cities, in particular, are still in a state of chaos. It is uncertain whether they will be able to contribute in five years."
"Of course, if everything goes well, we, Yunhai City, will support this operation."
"Our resources, after five years, have basically been converted into combat power. If we delay it for too long and have no resources, it will only be a waste of time."
With relatively strong city support, Digdit can somewhat alleviate the embarrassment of no one responding.
"We in Tojin City also support this operation!!"
Unexpectedly, the representative of Dongjin City also spoke: "This is the glory that belongs to all mankind! If we can defeat a vision, we will have the capital to settle down and live."
Li Chunhong couldn't help but glance at the screen of branch 11.
The emperor of Togan City still had an expressionless face, as if he was asleep.
This old man always looks indifferent no matter what he encounters.
After thinking about it carefully, I understand.
"The first possibility is that these guys have a gambling habit."
"The second possibility is that they want to defect and become rich people... but their status will not be guaranteed after becoming rich."
"If you can get some credit in the battle, it can be regarded as a political bargaining chip in the future."
You know, the safe zone is not absolutely safe.
There is always some visionary power that can be projected beyond the safe zone.
Such as dream ability, mental ability, and the "blood coming out of the soil", "cat-faced old lady" recorded by the Meda Civilization, etc...
Without extraordinary fire, you cannot level up, and your ability to withstand disasters is seriously insufficient.
Even if Togan City hides in the safe zone, he has no confidence that he can survive.
"These guys are quite cunning..."
Apart from this, no other cities have taken a stand.
Even the city of New York, which is full of talented people, only had a vague attitude and said a few good words.
If you really want them to do it, you don't dare to do it.
And those mining cities did not speak.
In particular, the city of Sydney, which owns the "Pandora's Crystal", and the city of Babylon, which owns a large amount of oil resources, did not make any statements and did not even dare to say ambiguous words.
Yes, although the earth's crust was greatly damaged when the city was moved, the city of Babylon still had a lot of oil resources.
The mineral output of these two cities is the most important material basis for building the City in the Sky.
With Pandora crystals, extremely huge floating ships can be built to transport hundreds of thousands of people at a time.
Moving a city is no problem.
But they don't have any fighting will, which is very troublesome.
In fact, the spokespersons of these cities also know that it is indeed a good opportunity for a decisive battle, but they can't even solve the chaos in the city, so how can they talk about it?
…
The meeting broke up in silence.
Many officers in Yunhai City were a little angry, with a strong feeling that "humanity is about to end" in their hearts.
Li Chunhong shook his head: "Forget it, they actually just want to pick peaches."
"If we win, they will definitely come out again."
"If we lose the war, they will be a coward for the rest of their lives and a local emperor for three hundred years."
"This is really smart... ugh."
"Pandora's crystal is not a very rare thing. It must exist in Pangea. If it doesn't work, we can look for it ourselves!" Several officers said angrily. "Anyway, after leaving the safe zone, the time ratio is restored, and we have plenty of time to develop."
"When we build the city in the sky, shouldn't we still share it with them?"
Another officer mocked: "Can we not share? A large group of people are going to starve to death. What do you think we should do? Can we still watch them die?"
This may sound childish, but human rights issues seem to be too high, which seems to be a problem.
After all, Yunhai City has not experienced large-scale deaths and disasters, and many beliefs have not been shattered.
"Hey, don't be angry, we will consider these things later." Li Chunhong comforted, "Politics is the product of mutual compromise. Development behind closed doors will only consume our own costs."
"We must maintain our industrial capabilities and continue to make scientific and technological progress... What's wrong with the mining in Xini City? If there is no industry, the future will naturally depend on us!"
"Industry, talent and technology are the keys to the future!"
"What about an arms race? Others produce one airplane, we produce ten!"
…
The ninth branch of humanity, Zero Wave City.
The atmosphere in the room was not wonderful, as if a cold wind from Siberia was blowing in from outside the window, bringing an icy chill.
This time, most cities rejected the cooperation and were unwilling to give even a vague promise.
Digdit shook the cigar in his hand and whispered: "Comrades, you saw it! I gave them a chance, but now they choose to become cowards and deserters."
"They are traitors to humanity!"
"Our cities represent human civilization, standing on Pangea, competing with hundreds of millions of intelligent races."
"And they just want to save their own lives."
"When our dignity, territory, and living space are trampled on, they are still escaping."
"There is no other way, I want to 'control' those damn cowards and make them strong!"
He changed the subject and lowered his voice: "Professor Heinrich, how is the research on spreading superpowers through communicators going?"
The bald and white-haired professor nodded: "The research is going well and it will be cracked soon. But if the other party turns off this function, we have no way to force it to turn it on."
Digdit said: "The default state should be open, right?"
"Yes, there is no doubt about it... The last [Demon] attack, all cities were affected by ability radiation."
"Furthermore, the mutual communication of glyphs also requires this function to be turned on."
"The ability to radiate in the past may only be one-tenth to one-twentieth of the original version...So, it may be necessary..."
"As long as we control the vast majority of city leaders, the problem will be solved!" Digdit's eyes glowed with a faint red light, and he walked out of the meeting room with a firm face, "Prepare more death row prisoners for me!"
"Your Excellency, there are no more death row prisoners."
"Execute all rapists, our civilization does not need such scum."
"yes!"
