At 5:30 in the afternoon, the ship carrying more than a hundred people returned to the dock of Sky City.
The sun sets in the west, and the sunlight is like gold foil, evenly shining on the calm sea.
The world is vast and vast, but this is the only place where you can spend the night safely and eat, drink and defecate without warning.
Lu Yuan was quite depressed because of what happened today.
He came to the Big Rice Tong Canteen and ate a plate of beef fried noodles, a bowl of tomato and egg soup, and three eggs before his mood improved again and he patted his belly with satisfaction.
“There are thousands of rooms in the mansion, only six feet to sleep at night, and a huge wealth, but the daily eclipse is not enough for three meals. This is life…”
Lu Yuan saw that Miss Conch looked unhappy again. She couldn't eat anymore after just moving her chopsticks a few times. He couldn't help teasing: "Madam, you have to think about the situation of Greenland Civilization. You are still in the mood to sympathize with that person."
A dragon. Is this called laughing at a hundred steps at fifty steps?"
"Huh!!" The girl's beautiful face wrinkled up, and her bright eyes became foggy.
Thinking about it carefully, there seems to be no difference between her and Lao Long?
So he said indifferently: "You scumbag Lu Yuan, if you dare to laugh at me, sleep in a separate bed today."
This really hit Lu Yuan's pain point. He was used to sleeping with a soft and fragrant pillow every day. If it suddenly disappeared, he would really suffer from insomnia.
He immediately begged for mercy: "What I am mocking is human civilization, not the green civilization... Green Green is a powerful, mid-level civilization that people look up to."
"Medium civilization??" The girl rolled her eyes and looked angry.
Lu Yuan racked his brains, secretly cursing why he wanted to provoke her, and praised wildly: "Luyin is an invincible civilization, and it has cultivated a 35-point god's big baby... Even if the human race is extinct, I just need to take this girl with me and bring her with me..."
Even with old cats and turtles, you can wander around Pangea and you won’t be too lonely.
"When I think about it this way, the anxiety of not being able to sleep disappears."
Conch couldn't help but be amused by him. Is there such an irresponsible leader in the world?
"As if you can survive the disaster alone, and... where is the old wolf?"
"Well, nothing is perfect in the world."
Conch nodded seriously: "As long as we work hard, even if the final result is bad, we shouldn't complain..."
Lu Yuan pinched her ears: "What are you talking about? What I mean is that even if a [ghost] appears, it is too lazy to pay attention to the old wolf. The old wolf's divine attribute is only 2 points."
…
After dinner, at six o'clock in the afternoon, everyone came to the large conference room to discuss matters related to "Origin Fire Civilization".
This time there were many participants, including elites from all walks of life in the Green City, including government officials, engineers, scientists, soldiers, journalists, etc.
It wasn't too high of a secret, there were still a few curious rat craftsmen looking around, so Lu Yuan simply allowed them to listen.
While waiting like this, the truth about the extinction of the Origin Fire Civilization slowly spread. When they heard that the Mirage actually guarded a huge tomb and guarded the vain hope, everyone felt sad and sad.
After Lu Yuan saw everyone arriving, he took out four freezers from the storage space: "Comrades, since everyone knows the general outline of the matter, I won't go into details again."
"Please analyze the cause of death of these corpses and what it is related to the 'epochal disaster'..."
"No one knows how long an era can last. It may be fifty thousand years, or it may be only five thousand years. It is not a bad thing that we know more."
A rat man said with a stern look: "Brother Lu, please don't trade your knowledge randomly... The more civilizations that know the information about the epochal disaster, the faster the disaster will break out. This may involve luck or something like that."
"How to say?"
"Information is also a kind of substance. Some dangerous entities can feel the interaction of information."
"Also, don't use paper to record. For some sensitive knowledge, it is safer to communicate telepathically."
Lu Yuan sighed and nodded.
"Regarding the clues about the Epoch disaster, please be sure to keep it confidential. This is a military secret. I don't want to hear some folk rumors."
Several scientists soon divided up the four freezers and took them back to the research institute for further study.
In addition, there is a very important point in this meeting, which is the additional information obtained by Conch through "information backtracking".
"Then we ask Ms. Conch to show us these contents."
Conch actually has a slight social fear, and she doesn't like to show up in crowded places, but with Lu Yuan by her side, there's no need for stage fright.
He breathed a sigh of relief and walked onto the stage. The simple little mirror in his hand bloomed with a dim blue light.
What was placed on the podium was a tattered city model. In the middle of the model was the towering volcano.
When the small mirror shines on the volcano, it "buzzes" and vibrates.
A few minutes later, a blurry picture appeared in the mirror.
The surrounding projector projects the image in the mirror onto a white curtain.
A piece of mysterious historical information is displayed before people's eyes...
…
…
The spectacular Great Hall is as dark as ever. The sunlight cannot penetrate the thick eaves. Even at five o'clock in the morning, puppets have already come to the Great Hall to clean up and prepare for the details of the meeting.
Thousands of Yuanhuo people gathered here to discuss important matters of civilization.
"Everyone, according to the reliable news from ***... what is about to happen in the future... may very well be the biggest disaster of this era..."
"Most civilizations are no longer active... undergoing final construction..."
"Most of those who are still active are lunatic civilizations who are proficient in killing and war. They just want to obtain aura, and it is impossible to communicate... So we must find a place..."
This passage was intermittent and the information was very incomplete. It was reported by a tall, slightly old Yuanhuo man in the rostrum.
The crowd in the mirror was also in an uproar.
"Führer, is this an epochal disaster?"
"Perhaps, indeed."
The epochal disaster seems to have happened earlier than they expected!
But how can a civilization like theirs survive a catastrophe?
"What is the epochal disaster?"
"Is it a massive resurgence of [ghosts], or..."
"****(unknown noise)"
"(*More unknown noises)"
"Bang bang!" Two heavy knocks were made by the head of state on the rostrum, "Everyone, please stop discussing those meaningless things."
"We have to avoid this disaster. With our current strength, we can complete the project. Everyone, please think of a way."
"Don't think about clinging to those powerful civilizations... They have too much time to take care of themselves... We are just clinging to the aura of the past."
"Even if...the surviving population is smaller...as long as some people can survive, it will be good. The scenery of the ninth era...can we appreciate it?"
The old man's gaze seemed to penetrate the screen, staring at the humans in the conference room.
…
These words are really touching.
Several reporters were trembling and were so frightened that they did not dare to make a sound.
Think about it, if human beings encounter this kind of dilemma, what can they do?
At the last moment, it was really all civilizations showing off their magical powers!
For example, the "Da Lai Empire" can take the [Ghost] directly to another planet, and the greenery that is not good at it can also perform an "ascension ceremony", and the Shumiba civilization and the vision are combined into one.
A low-level civilization like Yuanhuo can only build a shelter in the magma and bury itself in it.
This is really a dirt road.
Normal people know that the success rate is extremely low!!
But in the planning of Yuanhuo Civilization, Lu Yuan suddenly realized that the success rate... was actually quite a bit.
Because the volcano they found is a bit awesome. It is called "The Great Furnace of the World" and covers an area of ​​50,000 square kilometers.
Even the famous "Gear Civilization" has drawn energy here.
The energy contained in it is very terrifying. Once it erupts, it will cause the earth to collapse, and it can evaporate an ocean and create a continent!
This powerful energy level may be able to avoid many anomalies.
Even if you are a [Ghost], it is impossible for you to swim in magma?!
Plus, they have a loyal dragon!
The freezing ability of the Mirage Dragon can just delay the eruption of the volcano.
In the mirror, there were so many Yuanhuo people, and they quickly thought of a good way,
"The original 'Great Furnace of the World' will erupt in an epochal disaster and become part of the cause and effect of the destruction of the entire Pangea continent."
"But as long as we find a way to delay its outbreak until the next era, maybe..."
This is typical darkness under the lamp.
In this area of ​​the sea, it is impossible for civilization to come over because of the existence of the "big furnace of the world".
Since civilization is unwilling to come, the number of visions is naturally very small - do everyone have the ability to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages?
When everyone thought that the "Great Furnace of the World" would erupt and turn the entire ocean into a plateau, it actually didn't erupt again!
Maybe, the Origin Fire Civilization can survive?
I have to admit, this method is indeed quite clever...
Of course, if a volcanic eruption needs to be delayed, a mirage dragon is not enough. A large number of complex sealing projects are also required.
Therefore, the Origin Fire Civilization invested most of its extraordinary resources into this massive super seal project.
What equipment and weapons, at the last moment, don't have much significance, most of them are transformed into aura.
This fact made Lu Yuan sigh. Is it possible that he can only pick up some leftovers? Forget it... That mess of ruins, there are tens of thousands of souls in them, which is also a huge fortune.
The picture in the mirror ends here.
A volcano model that can find so much information is already very good.
Conch didn't say anything, just sighed softly.
He took out another technological artifact that looked like a camera.
"It also contains a small amount of information."
The camera has been stored until now, and it is obvious that it cannot be used, and the information inside cannot be read.
However, when the mirror shines on the camera, it vibrates again, and a blurry picture appears.
It is a conversation between a girl with a soft appearance and wings on her back and the mirage dragon.
"Amirage, listen carefully... When the epochal disaster begins, you must rush into the crater and protect yourself with magma. The deeper you go, the easier it is to survive."
"Roar!" The Mirage Dragon at that time was so proud and high-spirited.
From the corner of its mouth, there was a vague mockery.
That strong body has an unparalleled temperament.
"Okay, this is my last request to you... This time is really different from the previous disasters... Don't face this disaster head-on, absolutely don't."
The girl stroked the bright scales of the Mirage Dragon, sat on the emerald green grass, and sighed in a low voice: "In the future, we may not be able to meet each other..."
The Dragon of Mirage remained speechless.
What if fragile creatures cannot meet each other?
During its long life cycle, the breeders have changed countless times. When one animal gets old, a new one will come.
No big deal.
However, with this thought in my mind, I couldn't help but pull out a small scale from my tail and give it to the girl as a parting gift.
"Actually, I was thinking, what would you do if...if we couldn't come out of the shelter?"
The girl turned her head and smiled sweetly: "Are you willing to live freely on this continent? Just...well, if we all die, you don't have to...Oh, forget it, it's up to you."
She stopped talking and lay down directly on the grass.
"What is the world like in the ninth era..."
The Dragon of Mirage bared its teeth and let out a silent mockery.
The girl's face turned gloomy again: "Don't laugh at me, just... everyone actually doesn't have much confidence, and I don't have much confidence either..."
"But you have to watch over this volcano and prevent it from erupting. This puts all the pressure on you..."
"I'm a humble person, I'm just a breeder, I can't be of much help... I'm just talking nonsense here."
"Hey, how about I take a picture of you!"
"At least today, the sun still rises in the east and sets in the west! Let us cherish the last time." The girl set up her camera and spread her wings.
The background of the photo is the mirage dragon. It still raised its head proudly, its tail was also raised high, opened its mouth, took the girl, and threw the girl on his back.
"Oh, your bite hurts me so much!"
The girl laughed and then cried, and she sang softly.
The singing voice was clear and soft, as if floating in boundless time, with a touch of sadness.
"Where will I be in a thousand years?"
"Where will we be in ten thousand years?"
Immediately afterwards, a large meteor shower appeared in the sky.
A sharp whistling sound spread across the sky...
The epochal disaster, on this day, kicked off...
Chapter completed!
