Although sometimes people of the same race are more hateful than those of other races, most of the time, people of the same race can still stay together for a while.
A high-level ruin is enough to plunge surrounding cities into a state of war!
At that time, it will be a large-scale melee based on race. A hundred years ago, the emergence of a medium-sized ruins caused turmoil in several surrounding cities for 20 years, with millions of people killed and injured!
After thinking about this, the faces of the leaders of the two cities changed slightly.
"The sight of this mirage is too shocking, and many races must be alarmed. If it is really a high-level ruin... war may not be far away."
"You mean, cooperation?"
"It's better than a war between the two sides, isn't it? How can we monopolize a high-level ruins?"
"Okay. Then let's advance and retreat together for the time being."
As soon as the two sides gathered together, under the shadow of war, it was better to go and take a look first, and loot whatever they could.
Just like that, the two sides set off in tandem once again.
…
A few hours later, the armies of both sides stopped on a hillside, overlooking the green city in the distance.
As night falls, the temperature gets lower and lower.
The wildebeest's body was trembling. After running for two consecutive days, his physical fitness reached its limit. Even the air he exhaled was slightly chilly.
But everyone's minds were attracted by the distance.
The area of ​​​​this city is not too large, but the degree of preservation is extremely high, and most of the buildings are well preserved.
The green plants in the ruins were frozen into large lumps of ice.
The most eye-catching thing is the fluorescent car! The streets and alleys are full of cars. (from Lanpeng Civilization)
The number is too exaggerated. At a glance, there may be tens of millions of vehicles!
Most of the mechanical vehicles looked gray because they had not been maintained for a long time, with a thick layer of patina, and some were even rusty.
But you must know that technological products are extremely precious in this icy and snowy environment.
Because fuel is very expensive, coal, as a daily necessity, remains high in price. The cost of smelting steel is even more expensive!
Both Ulan City and Mailu City are already aware of the existence of technology - with so many races gathered together, how could there not be a technological civilization?
However, the main reason why there is no vigorous development of science and technology is: this damn place is too cold, the highest temperature is only minus 20 degrees Celsius, and the lowest temperature in winter can be as low as minus 80 degrees Celsius! The extreme cold wave is even difficult for level six experts to withstand
live!
In this low-temperature environment, water pipes, equipment and storage tanks can easily freeze, oil can thicken, and the failure rate of equipment can increase significantly.
The opening of factories is restricted, and the development of science and technology is naturally difficult.
"Does everyone still have the energy? Should we take a rest here, or should we rush to the ruins today?"
"Sir, the final mountain road is rugged and may take five or six hours."
"Our mount is almost exhausted. We must rest, otherwise the wildebeest will die."
"Then quickly find a mountain pass that can protect you from the wind and snow. We will definitely arrive there tomorrow!"
The two groups of men and horses, with red eyes, urged the horses under their crotches to run faster, leaving a series of deep holes in the snow.
The sun is heading west and night is falling. The Green City is within easy reach, only the last thirty kilometers away.
At this moment, I don’t want to think about the issue of dividing the spoils. As long as a city gets tens of thousands of cars, it is a huge wealth... Although these cars are most likely broken, the materials and parts on them are worth thousands of dollars.
, can be traded with other civilizations.
Car lights and electric motors can all be taken out and used separately.
"Hey! Stop, everyone, stop, this is a good place to rest!" Suddenly, the city lord of Ulan City, "Tagang", saw a small hill and pulled the reins and shouted.
This group of people quickly hid behind the mountain and started making igloos.
The igloo is in the shape of a hemisphere. The roof is covered with a thick layer of straw and a layer of clothing. At the same time, the spiral walls inside the house are covered with animal skins to create a very high thermal insulation effect. Double-horned Horse Mouth
He puffed out white mist, chewed some beans, and regained his strength a little.
Another team from Maille City didn't give in too much and asked the soldiers to take out small metal shields and place them on the igloo.
The glyphs on these small metal shields have the properties of covering and keeping warm, and are even more superior than ordinary animal skins.
Tagang couldn't help but sigh: "This is the foundation. We don't have enough wealth here to engrave this kind of engraving, and we have to carry extra warm luggage."
Looking down from a high position, they were even more enthusiastic about the property in the ruins, and they couldn't wait for the sun to rise again next moment.
At this moment, the ground shook slightly.
Everyone quickly opened their eyes, and Ta Gang even took out a telescope - although the workmanship was very rough, it was indeed a telescope.
Two huge black creatures sprang out from nowhere and ran at high speed through the ruins!
One looks like a turtle, with four legs, a head and a tail.
But this turtle is too big. Its shell is as high as a three-story building, and its neck is as high as a five-story building.
The other one is even more terrifying!
I don't know what it is, but its size is simply bigger than the "Spider King" in the low-level ruins, and the two large pliers make a "click-click" sound.
The two behemoths were running and colliding passionately, making strange sounds from their mouths.
"These should be the guardians of civilization? These two things are not easy to deal with. You have to rely on heavy weapons to win." Tagang hid behind the mountain and looked at it quietly.
The snow is falling heavier and heavier, and heavy breathing comes and goes.
Everyone began to think about how to deal with the three-story turtle.
The most important thing about a person is not his fighting power, but his wisdom.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. We are located downwind and are not easily discovered."
"This turtle must be a treasure. The meat alone is worth tens of thousands of gold! And the turtle shell, have you seen it? There are actually naturally occurring glyphs... It's incredible! I have enough reasons to doubt that this turtle
Shells are amazing sculptural materials."
"You mean..."
"It is the heritage of the ruins. It is best to capture it alive and tame it. It is better to bleed it every day than to kill it." A bachelor named Constantine stroked the extraordinary glasses on the bridge of his nose.
"But what exactly is that giant scorpion-like insect? I can't tell. I don't seem to recognize this kind of monster."
"I don't know how many crises are hidden in this city."
Even though everyone was in a feverish mood, they still had to be cautious. The soldiers started to light a fire and cook, with only a few leaders observing.
After a while, something shocking happened!
A group of children rushed out of the small cave, played in the snow, and climbed on turtles.
The turtle looked very excited, carrying a group of children and moving at high speed.
These native creatures have extremely good eyesight and can distinguish the existence of children from an environment of heavy snow even from dozens of kilometers away.
"How is it possible...why did a group of children suddenly appear? They look similar to us!" The fifth-level soldier, Tungsten Wood, showed an incredible look and screamed, "These children are playing with the turtle...The turtle is laughing very loudly.
!”
"What are they talking about?"
"...It's too far away, there's no way to hear it!"
"Hey, Tungsten Wood, you are still young." Constantine, the great bachelor in the team, talked with a calm expression.
"There are two possibilities for this phenomenon. First, this is some extraordinary ability of the turtle!"
"Civilization declined, the population disappeared, and the turtle fantasized about its past life to comfort itself in the present."
"Don't underestimate the guardians of civilization. They have very high intelligence and can recall the past...and their abilities are all kinds of strange and omnipotent."
"So does it have the ability to attack mentally?"
"I think there should be!" the Grand Bachelor made a gesture.
Everyone's muscles are tense, and mental attacks are difficult to deal with. Methods such as digging traps are of little use.
"Wow quack!" At this moment, the voice of the immortal giant turtle came from afar.
Everyone felt that their minds were affected.
Even the city lord Ta Gang agreed with this statement from the bottom of his heart: "It seems that we have to change the way we deal with it."
"These children...are there any other possibilities?"
"Of course there is, this is called looking back on history!"
"There are some powerful civilization relics. Even if they completely fall, they will still leave a lot of historical traces. Because at the moment of extinction, the civilization emits a lot of idealistic energy." The bachelor looked at the heavy snow in the sky and said plausibly, "
You should know about a divine skill called 'Historical Retrospection', right? This divine skill can search for the marks left by history."
"But under certain special conditions, there will also be scenes of natural historical retrospection, but the number is relatively small."
"So, these children are either hallucinations caused by the turtles, or they are historical regressors!"
Everyone showed expressions of admiration.
The Grand Bachelor, Constantine, traveled around the world when he was young and was very knowledgeable. Even the strangest scenes would have reasonable explanations.
A soldier murmured: "So this is really a medium civilization? Otherwise, there would be no historical retrospection."
"Absolutely... it may even be a high-level relic! Moreover, the original owner of this relic is also a human species, so we can directly use many things."
"Like armor, shoes, furniture, etc., we can use them without modification. They are really treasures sent from heaven."
Suddenly, someone else screamed: "What is that... a robot? Grand Bachelor, are these robots also hallucinations created by turtles?"
The Grand Maester stroked his glasses and looked at the human powered armor clearing away the snow. He couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Why is this scene so real?
He snorted coldly: "Don't underestimate illusions!"
"A true vision-level ability can confuse reality with reality and interfere with reality."
"Perhaps that turtle is really quite powerful and wants to change the fate of the city being annexed by heavy snow..."
"It's a pity that this is the northern border. A place without life will eventually be buried by heavy snow."
"Only life can resist the cold wind and frost."
Then his eyes lit up: "Wait, I thought of it! There is a third possibility. Some of the machinery in this ruins can still operate! This is amazing."
"It means wealth is more valuable than we imagined. You should understand what a functioning machine means, a complete industrial chain."
His voice was quite firm, and everyone's mood became more and more enthusiastic.
"Grand Maester, there is a creature in the sky, a long thing like a train! It fell!"
With a soft "boom" sound, the creature fell, splashing a large amount of water vapor and white mist, and the entire area was covered in fog. It turned out to be a small mirage dragon. It couldn't hold back and wanted to laugh, so it fell from the sky.
It fell from the sky.
"This may be... some variant of the sky lizard? It's really huge..."
The bachelor recalled something from his distant memory: "When I was young, I once saw a group of sky lizards in the far north. They flew in the clouds and mist and fed on frost. The one in front of me should be a sky lizard.
A close relative of the Sky Lizard, but much larger than the Sky Lizard."
Everyone's hearts trembled. The ruins were indeed like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. Unknown giant creatures appeared one after another.
Now three of them appear all at once, but it's really not easy to deal with them.
You can't just see wealth and not see risks.
"It may have been uncomfortable with the severe cold, so it fell from the sky." The bachelor analyzed.
The city lord was confused: "Such a high-level creature is also afraid of frostbite?"
As a level six strongman, he could run naked in the snow for a long time without wearing any clothes, let alone such a giant being.
"Lord City Lord, you don't know something. We have extraordinary fire, so our resistance to cold is relatively high."
"And this giant creature is large and requires a lot of heat."
Check out the correct version one by one!
"And this is only a close relative, not a sky lizard that lives in the snow." The bachelor came up with his own theory, "No matter how rich this ruin is, how much food can it produce? I'd probably be so hungry that I would be dizzy.
I'm dizzy and can't keep flying."
Everyone showed expressions of sudden realization: "Wouldn't that mean that after they freeze to death, we can start directly?"
The bachelor shook his head: "No, this kind of creature usually has a means of dormancy. It goes into hibernation directly after its physical energy decreases. It is difficult to truly freeze to death. Have you seen that cave?"
"I guess that's where extraordinary animals are kept in captivity."
He pursed his lips and looked at Xiaodongtian.
The small cave is completely black, like a big stone, and has an unattractive appearance. It is considered to be the residence of animals.
"What's more, we still have competitors... time is not on our side!"
"Oh, what I'm saying is...those children have gone back!
"The turtle has also gone back. Let's have a good rest and we must get to the ruins tomorrow."
Ta Gang gritted his teeth, took out a bottle of precious physical recovery potion from his arms, poured it into the hot water, and distributed it to many soldiers and horses.
This may be the biggest opportunity in his life!
"Seize the opportunity, and the Ulan clan will rise today."
This weathered city lord even began to think about how to transport materials on a large scale. Obviously, the carrying capacity of the two-horned horse cannot transport cars, and a larger tonnage beast of burden is necessary.
How to kill the ruins guardian?
How to deal with the alien races that are eyeing you and want a piece of the pie?
There are more and more questions in my mind.
"Oh, it would be great if we could tame that giant turtle."
…
On the other side, the team in Maille City was also discussing the same issue.
Especially the scene of the children climbing on the turtle surprised them, as if they had never experienced such a strange thing in their lives.
"Those children are really going back in history? How do you feel that they are real? Is there an owner here?"
"Impossible, the ancient civilization has been extinct a long time ago! Only animals without intelligence can survive to this moment. This is an iron law!"
"That's right!"
They keep looking for reasons to numb themselves.
Facts have proved that no matter which world people are in, their greedy nature is almost the same as long as their minds are raised. Just like telecommunications fraud in earth civilization, the police come to the door, but the victims still don't know it and are still looking for "reasonable" ones.
"Excuses paralyze one's own nerves. - As long as wealth is large enough, greed can overwhelm all rationality and rationalize all unreasonable things.
The tallest man, "Daogu", took out a steamed bun and took a sip of high-purity wine. The spicy taste stimulated the nerves along his throat.
He fantasizes about more wealth and higher power.
The wind and snow outside and the hardships now are nothing.
As the sun sets and the weather begins to cool down, the turtles and giant insects all return to their nests.
…
…
"Warning! A severe snowstorm is coming in three hours. Please take measures to keep warm and be careful about missing people."
"It is expected that an extreme cold wave will occur. It is recommended to stop all outdoor activities and recall all cleaning robots."
"Repeat it again..."
Old Mao heard the weather forecast on the radio, glanced at the gray sky, and made a phone call: "Conch, where is Lu Yuan? He won't freeze to death outside, right?"
"He said he wanted to go outside to experience the world... He will definitely not freeze to death, don't worry." Miss Conch was full of confidence, "I have a little clone of him here, he is fine."
Having said that, the predecessor of the Greedy Demon God, the Chaos Essence Stone, was soaked in magma.
If he was really going to freeze to death, he might as well hit him with a piece of tofu.
Lao Mao hung up the phone and reconnected to the government's emergency security meeting.
"This extreme cold wave is very scary. The temperature may drop to minus 200 degrees Celsius!"
"It doesn't snow all the time in this damn place 12 months a year, right? Welcome us with a huge blizzard on the first day?"
Experts from the meteorological research team said on the screen: "We simply measured the thickness of ice and snow, and the average thickness is more than two thousand meters. This shows that the climate here is somewhat similar to the Earth's North and South Pole."
"But even in the North and South Poles, there are sunny days, otherwise where would there be so much water resources? Don't be too nervous."
"That's true..."
"This extreme cold wave originated from the north, and we detected a faint spiritual fluctuation."
"Do you mean...relics of civilization? Or treasures of heaven and earth?"
"It's all possible."
Everyone was gearing up.
According to the "law of conservation of risk", the more dangerous the place, the higher the probability of existence of civilizational remains.
People are now eager to dig a big one and have another big development!
"Everyone, it's important to protect yourselves first and suspend external exploration! Since it's the first day here, there's no need to rush to eat in the snowstorm!" The old cat gave the order to the soldiers, "Stay in the room, everyone eat well.
of."
"Of course, necessary duty and vigilance are still required. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
The old cat looked into the distance and thought to himself: I wonder if there is any civilization surviving tenaciously in this world of ice and snow.
…
"Those behemoths have returned to their home dens!"
These men, who had experienced hundreds of battles and had been practicing in the snow for a long time, tasted a hint of danger in the air.
The snow stopped suddenly, and not a single snowflake disappeared.
It's like the calm before a huge snowstorm.
The Grand Maester looked at the increasingly gloomy sky. The gray clouds were spiraling like a snail shell.
His expression suddenly changed: "No! An extreme cold wave may be coming, and we are right in the center of the eye of the storm!"
"Quickly, expand the igloo quickly! Concentrate all the heating resources, manpower and material resources into one igloo."
"Move faster!"
He simply roared and shouted this order.
When more than two hundred people heard the term "extreme cold wave," they couldn't help but tremble, as if they were recalling terrible memories.
With so many of them and so many horses, they would need to dig at least a large igloo of 500 square meters!
The depth must be at least four meters!
They prayed to God to be merciful and not to lose their temper on the last day.
"Sir, we found something good!" Suddenly a patrolling soldier shouted.
Everyone hurriedly ran out to take a look. Tungsten Mu and four other soldiers dug out a strange big lump.
This lump looks like an egg, is very hard, and is oval in shape.
It is particularly eye-catching under the firelight. Its surface shows various textures. Its color is either dark gray, light brown, or green and black, blending in with the surrounding environment, but inadvertently revealing its own uniqueness.
and extraordinary.
Its tonnage is also quite high, with a rough estimate that it may weigh 20 tons.
"What is this...that fell from that city?"
The Grand Scholar stroked his beard: "Think about it, didn't the ruins of this city float in the beginning?"
"We landed on the ground later. During the entire landing process, this iron lump fell from the sky above the city and landed here."
With this explanation, everyone will understand immediately.
"I see!"
"Is this a treasure?"
"It should be a piece of industrial waste." The bachelor tapped the metal shell with his fingers, and there was a "dang-dang-dang" sound.
"It's solid and can't be identified, so it's not some extraordinary material."
"It's too heavy, we can't take it back now."
Everyone felt sorry for each other. It would be great if they could pick up a car. After picking up this junk, it was really useless.
