Recalling the scenes in the past, that terrible cold wave was like hell, and now everyone is extremely scared when thinking about it.
They were actually very grateful to the "Devil of Greed" who had saved them, and now they were talking with a hint of mysterious awe.
"We are lucky————·
Suddenly, there was a roar outside the window, and the snowflakes accumulated on the roof were shaken and sprinkled on the ground. All those who were awake couldn't help but look outside, and then opened their mouths.
Whether it is the most powerful city lords in the two cities or the masters below, I feel that I will never forget this scene for the rest of my life - more than 100,000 large and small bugs on the vast white snow.
The snow is being cleared in a mighty way!
"Biba!" "Wow!" All kinds of shouts came and went, and they sounded a little cheerful.
Most of the bugs have a ferocious appearance, sharp teeth, and bring an extremely dangerous aura. Even they, as level six masters, are not willing to fight these guys hand-to-hand.
There are a large number of silver-white robots mixed in among them, and they seem to be cleaning the snow too?
There were even some children playing on the roadside...--the sound of laughter could be faintly heard.
"Wow quack!" The huge turtle crawled out of the cave again and let out a strange cry.
This scene was a bit too weird from any angle, so much so that everyone thought "This must be a historical retrospective scene".
"Is this the inside of the ruins?"
"These bugs should be real -" - children and humans, maybe fake "Don't take it lightly! Everything is probably the conspiracy of the turtle. The turtle may want to capture us and stay with it forever! We must
Why don’t we go back and seek protection from the Demon God of Greed?”
Everyone shuddered. In ancient legends, there is a story about stripping out souls and creating soul gems.
If it was really this turtle that caught them...
Just as I was stunned, there were footsteps outside the door.
"Dong, dong dong. Guests, are you awake?"
Tagang was extremely vigilant at this moment, but their weapons had all been taken away and they were fighting with bare hands. They were no match for those terrifying bugs.
It's even more unwise to jump out of the window and escape. There are so many enemies outside, and it's no different than committing suicide.
The door, opened.
Two king insects entered the room first.
As the most elite warrior in the insect nest, he is now a level 12 extraordinary being. His fully armed golden carapace gives him a unique and majestic appearance.
In fact, the king insect is quite elegant. It is 4 meters tall and looks like a royal guard wearing heavy armor.
Behind the King Insect were several powered armors, which contained users with translation abilities from the 18th human civilization.
"Dear guests, you are awake. Please follow us to the cafeteria for dinner."
Ta Gang and others were stunned for a moment. The robot actually spoke?
Yes, puppet technology, they have seen similar products in a certain city.
But everyone still remained vigilant and did not dare to act rashly.
"You are——"
"We are citizens of the 18th branch of human civilization. My name is Lu Yuwen, and I am a translation expert."
"This city is called Green City, and it is developing and growing under the protection of Princess Green."
The Ulan clan is no stranger to this term as a person with the ability to translate, because their city also has the same divine skill.
"Does this city have an owner?"
"Of course, we are always active here."
"Those children outside are not hallucinations?" Another soldier's voice couldn't help but become louder.
The human translator was amused: "They are the children of my civilization. In order to cultivate the spirit of adventure, let them play in the snow."
"Although the weather is a little colder, both boys and girls must cultivate a temperament that is not afraid of setbacks from an early age."
It seems right. Don’t they, the Ulan clan, have been exercising since they were young?
All the guests are a little suspicious of life at this moment. They have worked so hard to come here to pick up garbage.
It turns out that this city actually has an owner!
Before they even picked up any trash, they experienced a cold wave and were captured!
What the hell is this for?
For a while, all kinds of emotions, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, all came up, and everyone couldn't help but want to cry.
And the great scholar Constantine felt even more embarrassed. What a nostalgic turtle, looking back on history,
I'm all just guessing -
It’s embarrassing to say it!
But soon, the outsiders corrected their attitudes and tried to lighten the atmosphere: "During the cold wave, we encountered an existence named the Demon God of Greed..."
Speaking of this, Green City was a little proud: "That is indeed the guardian of my city.
He is also our supreme leader, I didn’t know he——..."
"It was he who reached out to rescue us]-----We should say thank you to him. The grace of saving lives is unforgettable, and we really have nothing to repay."
"You're welcome, he's the one who asked you to rest here."
"Are you humans too—from the Snowy Continent?" Tagang looked at the children outside the window.
"No, our hometown is in this city - Snow Continent - This is the first time I heard about it. We have seen many species that look similar to humans, and in the end we thought that reproductive isolation should be used to classify species.
Genus is a more scientific solution. Therefore, similar appearance does not equate to the same race."
The silver-white power armor turned around and led the way: "Guests," please follow me to the cafeteria to eat and clean yourself."
After hesitating for a while, the outsiders put on their armor and shoes and followed.
My stomach was growling with hunger and I was almost unsteady when walking. I had to replenish energy.
"You have to eat first before talking about other things. A horizontal knife is a horizontal knife and a vertical knife is a vertical knife. Sooner or later, you have to face it." They cheered for themselves.
To be honest, the room was a bit hot inside. The temperature was 20 degrees Celsius, which made these strong men wearing a lot of fur coats sweat. They were too hot even if they moved twice.
There are also a variety of mechanical equipment in the corridor.
They were dazzled by things like sweeping robots, automatically switching lights, monitoring equipment, automatic doors, etc.
Even the dwarf kingdom with the most advanced technology in the north cannot be so luxurious as to let robots clean the house!
"I wonder, guests, if you can reveal some information. We in Green City have indeed just arrived here.
asked the translator.
The city lord of Ulan City, Tagang, cleared his throat: "This place is called the North Territory, the extreme territory of the north, where winter is always cold. As for why it is this geographical term, we are not sure, because the major ruins have all the information.
This term was used to introduce this area, so we stuck with it.”
"The weather here is cold all year round, and extraordinary resources with ice attributes are produced on a large scale."
"Large-scale cold waves occasionally occur, and technological development is slow."
"But what about the ice-type ores---there are indeed a lot of them, but they are a bit difficult to use."
The ambassador from Green City asked: "How many smart cities are there nearby?"
As far as we know, there may be hundreds of cities in the northern border, but compared to the huge area, they are still vast and sparsely populated, and transportation is not very convenient."
"A city that is too far away and there is no way to get there. Where did your city come from? 2
"We...? We fell in accidentally from outside the northern border."
"Are you foreign guests? No wonder you appear in such a strange way. There may be more city exploration teams coming this way, and they all want to pick up the inheritance! By then--
———”
"It doesn't matter, everyone who comes is a guest. As long as they don't damage property, we can receive them normally."
This is the strength of mankind!
Lu Yuan heard these sounds in his earphones and felt so excited.
What a strange world this is! There are so many civilizations?
"There are hundreds of them in cities of all sizes. Even if a city earns 10 points of luck, there are still thousands!"
He was so excited thinking about it.
What’s more important is...influence!
In Pangu Continent, the function of influence is unknown. If this wave works well, the name of "Greed Demon God" can finally be achieved!
These outsiders have different moods when communicating.
The soldiers were a little demoralized and a little uncomfortable.
There is no garbage to pick up, military achievements have been wasted, and the future fate is still unknown.
But the mood of the leadership has changed the fastest.
"The humans in this city don't seem to have much malicious intent.'
"Coupled with the advanced technology, there is no shortage of energy, and there is no willingness to plunder---is it possible for us to cooperate and win-win?"
The human race is weak here, but this time it actually encountered a very strong city!
Who doesn’t want to hug their thighs?
"But what can we sell?" This question lingers in their minds and is difficult to answer.
There is a civilization ruins in Haosui, Mailu City, but there are some things that can be sold.
But Ulan City is really a little poor. After thinking about it for a long time, it turns out that it doesn’t even have any specialty products.
It’s so uncomfortable!
Not long after, the destination arrived.
The door made of fiberglass opens automatically. This is a large restaurant, covering an area of ​​about 1,000 square meters, surrounded by green plants such as pothos.
There are dozens of round tables placed inside.
There are steaming hot dishes on the table, including bread, steamed buns, steamed buns and other Chinese meals.
These people persisted in the snow for a month and were unconscious for several days. They were already hungry and their eyes were blinded by hunger. Under the temptation of delicious food, they did not hesitate too much and directly grabbed two steamed buns and ate them.
The buns have thin skin and large fillings, and are filled with soup and oil. They are soft and slightly tough, as if you can feel the warmth of the aroma of meat and steam with a light bite.
"This food tastes so good! I wonder what kind of animal meat it is!"
"Eat your food——Don't make a sound. (Cheeks bulging)
"Look at that robot cooking in the kitchen."
The outsiders looked here and there while eating, looking very curious.
This is the legendary technological civilization!
There are robots everywhere!
Even the people serving the dishes were robots, which made them a little uncomfortable. Some people even became respectful to the robots and couldn't help but say hello and pay attention.
"Type A furniture robot is here to serve you wholeheartedly." The robot speaks Chinese, which outsiders cannot understand at all.
There is also a large bathhouse next to the restaurant. It is steaming and uses a shower head. These outsiders have not taken a bath for a long time, and their skin is covered with a thick layer of patina, and their body odor is a bit strong.
I turned on the shower head and hot water poured out.
"Hey, I know about this thing. It is said that many more powerful civilizations are popular with it." The university student said enthusiastically, "It is more luxurious. You have to store hot water in a container. In cities that are short of energy, there is no way to use it.
.”
Ahem, under normal circumstances, taking a bath once a year is good.
These masters were considered smart people. They quickly learned how to use the shower. They took a hot bath comfortably, peeled off a layer of their thick skin, and then put on casual clothes prepared by humans.
These clothes are made of carbon nanomaterials, which are lightweight and warm.
"Dear guests, please come in. Our leader would like to meet you and discuss future cooperation matters."
"Here we come!" The two city lords looked at each other and quickly reached a tacit understanding - we will advance and retreat together!
Ordinary soldiers stayed in the restaurant, while the city lords of the two cities, plus the bachelor and other staff, headed to the nearby conference room with high spirits.
Near this big round table, in addition to the human species, there are also a blue-haired bird-man and a brown-haired rat-man.
They were quite surprised to see these two exotic species.
"Is this city a multi-racial union?"
Multi-racial alliances are not too uncommon in the north. The cities of these races were destroyed due to certain disasters. Multiple races reunited, supported each other, and established a brand new civilization in the geothermal area.
"I am the commander-in-chief of the 18th human civilization, Lu Yuan. Dear foreign friends, we have met outside." Lu Yuan made a gesture, indicating that they should sit across from the round table.
Hearing this voice, everyone felt a little familiar, and then their eyes narrowed, and they remembered...-Isn't this the voice of the stone man?
Ta Gang came to his senses and bowed: "Thank you, Commander Lu Yuanda, for saving our lives. Without your rescue, we might have frozen to death."
"Words cannot describe our gratitude!"
"I, Tagang, owe you my life!"
This is indeed true.
Lu Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "It's just a small effort, not to mention that you have already paid the reward.
10. "We have just arrived in our city, and there is still a lot of common sense that we have not yet learned. Please hope that leaders can explain to us the common sense of life here.
17
"If you have good specialties, we can also trade with each other and learn from each other's strengths."
"Trading is a win-win choice. Let us live better in this difficult time."
Ta Gang's expression changed: "Is your civilization willing to sell technological products?"
"Of course, as long as the price is right, what can't be sold? Let's put it this way, we are currently lacking mineral resources, including iron ore and copper ore. If you have ore, we are willing to buy it."
"In addition, we also purchase extraordinary resources in large quantities and will give you a good price."
"There are also spiritual crystals and spiritual rhymes. With so many civilizations and so many ruins dug up by you, there is no way that you don't know the news in this regard.
,,
"This——·——·We naturally know."
Lingyun is the common currency unit in the North! This fact has long been spread.
Through some combinations of glyphs, extraordinary items can be converted into auras.
But no matter which city, even if it is a powerful dwarven city, 1 aura is a very large currency unit, so everyone will only use it when trading extremely precious items.
Otherwise, it's mostly bartering.
Hearing this, the two city lords had some ambitions in their hearts, hoping that the price of this powerful technological civilization could be cheaper, otherwise they would have no choice but to give up strategically - after all, their social level could not play with electricity technology.
Immediately afterwards, the two parties began to talk enthusiastically about the general situation of this bitter and cold land.
The year-round temperature in the north is below minus 20 degrees Celsius.
Now is the hotter season.
The further north you go, the colder the climate becomes.
Because of the large number of civilizations, gambling is very popular in this land.
When two strange cities meet, they are basically going to engage in a cold-blooded gambling battle.
Lu Yuan frowned slightly. Thinking about it carefully, it was normal. There were so many cities. In order to prevent war, wouldn't it be necessary to wager and fight?
"How does your overall strength rank in this continent?"
"Maybe it's ------ below average." When he said this, the strong man rubbed his hands in embarrassment. There was no point in concealing it. This kind of thing was easy to investigate.
Another city, Maille City, is actually slightly stronger and thinks it should be at the mid-level.
However, in this case, the only option is to acquiesce.
Lu Yuan took a deep breath and said consolingly: "Ahem...that means there is still a lot of room for improvement. Let's talk about other things. What else do you know?"
Constantine, the great scholar, spoke eloquently: "As far as I know, the Pengyue clan occupies the northernmost city. This is a long-haired race, generally 2 meters tall, with strong fighting power."
"Further north, there are no civilized cities, just some suspicious savages."
"Savage?"
"They have lost their reason and culture. They may be creatures handed down from ancient times. They have evolved the ability to adapt to the cold winter and absorb ice-based elements, but they have lost their wisdom and live a life of eating hair and drinking blood."
There is also this kind of creature...
Lu Yuan frowned slightly, a bit like the slaves of the Shumiba civilization who had lost their wisdom.
"No one knows what the northernmost point is?"
Constantine said: "According to literature, the city of the Pengyue Clan is located in a geothermal zone, with an average temperature of minus 60 degrees Celsius all year round. Further north, there are no more geothermal zones."
"The temperature continued to drop, eventually dropping to below minus 160 degrees Celsius."
"This temperature allows methane to remain in liquid form, so there are large methane lakes in the north."
"But even in methane lakes, there is a strange fungus that survives tenaciously. The Tengyue clan harvests this fungus all year round as a specialty of civilization, so they are quite wealthy."
"What are fungi used for?"
"A kind of alchemy material." The university scholar said, "In the North, the extraordinary materials of ice elements are too redundant, so we have to find ways to use them. That fungus can transform ice elements into softer life elements.
, so it’s quite popular.”
Alchemy, in other words, is the science of medicine.
Drug abuse is quite popular here.
The 18th century human civilization has scientific research methods, and the local indigenous people have also found localized alchemy through long-term practice.
"I understand roughly, please continue."
The Grand Scholar drew a simple map: "Continuing further north, the weather is really too cold. The temperature is minus two hundred degrees Celsius all year round."
"At this time, even the air will freeze, forming a liquid lake of oxygen and nitrogen. Only a microorganism called tardigrade can survive. Even the Prancing Clan will be frozen to death, and no civilization will exist there anymore——
—"
"We only know this - maybe if we keep going north, it will suddenly get warmer, or maybe it won't. Anyway, no one can cross the extreme cold barrier. The negotiators on the Green City side looked at each other. This is
What extremely harsh conditions?
To be honest, it is very difficult for Green City to cross this ice hell.
Once something goes wrong in the middle, you will fall into an irreversible situation.
"Unless it's an interstellar civilization's spaceship - Grand Commander, shouldn't we find a way to build an interstellar spacecraft?" The Blue Peng people began to fantasize about their interstellar civilization again.
These birdmen spend their days dreaming about their interstellar universe.
"What about other directions? Are they also cold?" Lu Yuan sneered at the interstellar universe.
He deeply understands that danger actually comes from the universe!
The great scholar Constantine thought for a while: "In the south, east and west of the northern border, you will encounter a huge chasm, as if the entire continent was split."
"No civilization can cross that chasm, not even the most powerful dwarf civilization." This university student is still very knowledgeable and knows something about everything.
"How deep is this chasm?"
"How deep?"
The Grand Scholar shook his head: "That is a void in the universe. Where is the concept of depth? Even gravity will slowly disappear, and it will float as soon as it passes."
"The atmospheric pressure slowly decreases, oxygen is lacking, and everyone will die of asphyxiation!"
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows, is there such a place?
Immediately afterwards, the think tanks behind Green City also started discussing with great interest: "Looking at their body movements and emotions, they shouldn't be lying ------ this information is easy to verify."
"If this is really the case, it will be difficult for us to leave."
‘Is this the edge of Pangea?”
"The first way is to go all the way north through the severe ice and cold in the northernmost part. It is really a great and difficult journey, and you need to make a lot of preparations."
"The second is to use the space ability of [the monster] to let it take us away when it jumps."
Chapter completed!
