Chapter 252 Meeting the Empire Survivors
Of course, now is not the time to investigate this matter. How to protect the conch has become the most important thing.
"You swallowed her, it's safest to hide it in your belly." The old cat said, "Swallow it in the physical sense, don't get it wrong. She will only burst out if you die."
"You are really perverted, Mr. Cat."
However, Lao Mao's suggestion reminded Lu Yuan.
He summoned the Tree of Life and used the piranha to swallow the soul gem.
Then he tried to blur the tree of life and take it back into the sea of consciousness.
It really did it!
"Can you see outside?" Lu Yuan shook the green leaves on his head.
[If you use your ability to simulate clairvoyance, you can indeed see outside... If you don't use it, I'm in a dark place.]
This voice sounded directly from his mind. Lu Yuan felt a little weird, but this method was indeed the safest.
He let out a breath: "You must endure it for now. I will release you after the beating."
【Um.】
"Meow!!" The old cat saw the two of them fit together like this, his hair exploded all over his body, and he thought of a great idea.
It sat upright and said seriously: "Comrade, now that her soul is separated from her body, you can... give birth to the baby while it's hot!"
"Her cognitive level will not improve. My old cat can also play with children. You will also be very happy. You can achieve multiple things with one stone!"
The old cat was very excited, with an expression of "I'm so smart".
Lu Yuan was stunned.
Before Lu Yuan could say anything, Miss Conch stumbled and said: [Actually...it's not impossible...]
[In the reproductive laws of the green civilization, if a vegetative person who has been comatose for a long time has not yet given birth, the government should fund it, leave an heir, and provide public support to the society. This law is called the law of genetic continuation. ]
[But it’s best to allow me to watch from the side.]
【I want to see...】
etc!
Miss Conch seemed to have realized something and defended herself: [Well...whether there is green or not is a philosophical question...after all, I don't have a boyfriend yet.]
Lu Yuan felt bad all over, and his old face wrinkled into a ball: "When will the psychiatric hospital of the 18th human civilization be opened?!"
The orange cat is jumping up and down on the side, very happy.
…
…
Being disturbed like this, Lu Yuan was not so nervous anymore.
According to the flying speed of "Sky Fortress", it only takes more than 20 minutes to travel 80 kilometers.
As the sun appeared on the horizon, the fish-belly white sky was dyed with a slight blush.
"It's already dawn..." Lu Yuan thought about the battle all night.
"Sky Fortress" slowly landed on a flat land outside the capital of the Mandala Empire. The place was deserted and very quiet.
Lu Yuan waved his hand: "You fly high into the sky first and follow my instructions."
"Boba!" "Sky Fortress" howled and took off again into a white cloud.
The invisible bugs covering its body make it look like it is optically invisible.
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, put the old cat on his shoulder, stepped forward, and stroked the thick bluestone wall.
With a slight jump, he climbed over the six-meter-high city wall.
Wearing a donkey head mask amplifies your perception to the limit.
The interior of the city is not as bad as expected. Except for the occasional blood stain, most of the buildings are well preserved.
There are not many people around.
Most of the monsters may have been urgently dispatched to fight.
"It's really overwhelming."
Lu Yuan leaned against the wall and sneaked slowly. He controlled all his aura and was very careful.
I saw some livestock, including cows, donkeys, sheep, and chickens.
They are not monsters, but real animals - if the "god" attribute is low to a certain extent, the value of the soul is almost reduced to zero, and it is useless to eat them.
There are several carts piled on the roadside.
There were various crops on the car. Because it had been a day, the various leaf vegetables looked a little shriveled.
"Monsters really imitate humans and develop civilization here? They also farm and raise animals?" Lu Yuan felt deeply unbelievable.
"What...is the meaning of this?"
He suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility!
My pupils could not help but dilate, causing my heart to beat with fear one after another.
"Conch, don't watch the coming battle. Just close your eyes and hide."
【Um……】
Walking quickly towards the palace, Lu Yuan heard waves of delicate crying, and his heart suddenly tightened.
He slowed down, turned in several directions, and walked into a small alley.
The crying became louder.
Thousands of cries, like helpless kittens.
Lu Yuan hurriedly took out his periscope and looked into the yard.
His hair stood on end.
So many...so many...babies!
Maybe five thousand!
Those little arms and legs with thin skin and tender flesh were like animals in a pigsty. The originally smooth and white skin was stained with unknown dirt.
They may have been tired of crying and only howled a few words occasionally.
Because there are too many and the density is too high, no one cleans up the urine and feces, and the mess in the yard is like a cesspool.
Fortunately, the temperature last night was quite acceptable, otherwise these children would have froze to death in one night.
Lu Yuan is getting older. He is 42 years old this year. If it were placed in human civilization, he would have become a father long ago, and his children would have been spoiled.
Even though he doesn't have children of his own now, he still likes to watch his children grow up.
Seeing this scene, I suddenly became furious.
This was the first time he saw a look of despair on the face of a baby who knew nothing.
Many children did not move at all, just lying on the ground, quietly in a daze.
Maybe they also understand that no matter how much they cry, no one will listen to them.
Lu Yuan was so angry that his whole body was shaking, his whole body was about to emit smoke, and his teeth were clenching.
[Mr. Lu... don't be nervous.] The conch sent out mental waves.
A cold feeling flooded into his mind, causing the furious Lu Yuan to wake up a little.
"You didn't see that scene, did you?"
[I didn’t watch it...I just want to comfort you right now...I won’t watch the other scenes.]
"Well, stop looking."
Lu Yuan clenched his fists.
The cruelty of civilization extinction is vividly displayed at this moment.
Old Mao also sighed and said coldly: "Old Lu, you can't stay here for too long... How can you manage so many children?"
"Kill the culprit and then send someone to rescue him."
Lu Yuan whispered: "I'm worried that they are starving... How long can they last at such a young age? They didn't eat all day yesterday."
Suddenly, Lu Yuan's ears moved and he heard another set of footsteps.
Immediately activated the alien space to protect himself.
I saw a "farmer woman" walking over from a distance with a cow.
Lu Yuan couldn't tell whether she was a monster or a human.
"Is this cow used to feed these babies?"
The moment the peasant woman walked around the corner, several strong men suddenly jumped out from behind a certain wall!
Their whole bodies glowed red, and with lightning speed, they took machetes and hacked the peasant woman to death!
Well, this peasant woman was indeed a monster. The human skin on her body split open and she was hacked to death before she could even scream.
Lu Yuan squinted his eyes and felt something in his heart.
These strong men with weapons...
Good skill!
Judging from the personal attributes he just displayed, he is similar to Lu Yuan.
It may have reached the category of extraordinary fire, level four, or even level five!
He is also the legendary innate master.
This may be the empire's only remaining elite force.
The leader of the group had a fierce look on his face: "Be alert to the surroundings, don't let those monsters attack you in turn."
"yes!"
The other people whispered: "Those monsters are all going to attack the city that fell from the sky... I don't know what that city is?"
"Our troops here are empty, but we don't have that many painters."
"Brother! Ahead is the captive place I discovered! Inside..."
These people pushed open the door with a "pop" sound.
Seeing a lot of babies lying in the pit in the yard, they felt sad, their faces looked miserable, and their eyes turned red all of a sudden.
Hell on earth is nothing better than this.
"What should I do?"
"Bring that cow over here! I'll feed them!"
The children's cries suddenly became louder.
These most innocent, mindless creatures seem to be able to distinguish between good intentions and bad intentions.
They seemed to know that these people who suddenly rushed in were here to save them, and they were howling desperately.
The baby's cry is like nails, hammering into their hearts one after another!
People with a higher conscience are more likely to suffer psychological breakdown in this scenario.
But what can they do? Society has collapsed and there are not many people left alive. What can they do?
Several people were about to cry: "Brother, let's take these children and fly away! There are no living people in the Mandala Empire. When those monsters come back, we won't even have a chance to take them away."
"But, with so many people...how many can we take away? Where are the rest?"
The strong man at the head, named Jin Liangzhu, a sixth-level innate grandmaster, felt his own powerlessness.
His eyes were red, and he looked up to the sky and sighed: "God, why!"
…
Lu Yuan observed patiently for a while. These strong men who suddenly appeared seemed to be survivors of the Mandala Empire, and he sighed in his heart.
He canceled the different space and wanted to have a few words with this group of people.
Then in the next second, several thoughts locked onto him.
These people were very careful. In just a short moment, these five people retreated to a long distance.
Because Hua Pi has mental abilities, once he is tricked, the consequences will be disastrous.
They used some method to condense the sound and spread it far away.
"who?!"
Lu Yuan hid behind the wall: "Conch, help me use telepathy to send a message."
【good.】
"I am Lu Yuan, the supreme leader of the 18th human civilization. We are at war with the monster 'Painted Skin'."
"I came here with the intention of killing the culprit."
"Do you have any relevant information?"
The leader was still not that trusting and said, "Stand at the door and let us take a look at you."
Lu Yuan is also a talented person and has the courage to stand at the threshold.
Seeing so many children, he sighed in his heart, took off his donkey-head mask, and gave instructions to the "Sky Fortress" to let it land.
Seeing Lu Yuan's strange dress, these people were also confused.
One of them had a flash of light in his eyes and whispered: "Brother, I've verified it, it's really a human being...a demon hunter, a monster hunter, a bit fierce."
Everyone was visibly relieved.
Jin Dongliang sighed: "You can't win! Last night, four great innate masters joined forces to assassinate that monster, and they all died without even seeing each other. It was a real monster, and humans can't win at all!"
This voice revealed a sense of despair.
"You just need to tell me the information." Lu Yuan said expressionlessly, "I am better than you, much better."
"How much stronger?"
"Kill you all in one second."
Everyone was silent. If it were normal, they would definitely be furious.
As famous masters in the world, they are all respectable figures.
Some people said that they would kill five of them in one second. This was simply a wild statement, and someone took advantage of it!
But now that people were about to challenge that terrifying monster, they were speechless for a while.
[Mr. Lu, you are so cool...] The conch shell that has been transmitting sound from a long distance can no longer transmit it.
"My life has indeed been enriched in the past few years. I haven't fought monsters for a long time. When I was young, my record was achieved through hard work." Lu Yuan couldn't help bragging, "It's just that you don't know."
"Brother's title can be identified. How about you try to identify me?"
Yes, that title can be identified if he wishes.
Just like the series of titles owned by the great warrior cat Mama, exchanging titles may be a common etiquette in the future.
[It really does exist, it’s amazing~] The flattering king, Conch, started to flatter me.
After thinking for a long time, the other party replied: "The monster's body is in the royal mausoleum. You can see a bronze coffin. No one can get close to it."
"Specific information... Unfortunately, no one knows what is in the coffin... maybe it is the first emperor of the empire."
"This is a disaster caused by the royal family." Jin Dongliang said, "There was a saying a long time ago that the First Emperor pursued immortality and never died, secretly controlling the entire empire."
"In the past thousand years, there have been several massive rebellions, but they were suppressed by powerful mysterious beings."
"Overnight, tens of thousands of troops were wiped out."
Lu Yuan frowned: "How long did the Mandala Empire last?"
"I don't know... maybe tens of thousands of years ago. The empire burned books many times. A lot of history has been lost, and only some stories passed down orally are left."
In the extraordinary world, the lifespan of masters is long, and the hierarchy is seriously solidified.
But a dynasty that lasts tens of thousands of years is too terrifying. What kind of corruption will it become?
