Chapter 981 What Are You Laughing At? I Am an Earthling!

Lu Yao was thinking in his mind.

If I remember correctly, the concept of earth only existed in modern times.

The Goblet-Headed Tin Man in front of us is probably the closest template to the one in human history, the corpse-stitching weirdo in the ancestral science fiction novel "Frankenstein" written by Mary Shelley.

But no matter how you look at Zila's body of iron and flesh, it has nothing to do with human flesh and blood.

Lu Yao made a special trip to visit him and gave him a box of world stones as a meeting gift.

Sure enough, the other party invited him in for the sake of the gift.

"Mr. Zira, I heard that you claim to be from Earth?"

"That's right. I am a pure earthling. My hometown is a beautiful and colorful world, much more beautiful than here." The Tin Woodman is usually taciturn, but when he talks about his hometown, he is very proud.

"Is Earth the name you have there?"

"Yes, I am an Earthling, and our place is the Earth. This is easy to understand."

"But where does the word Earth come from? Are you really sure you are from Earth?" Lu Yao couldn't help laughing for a while.

"What are you laughing at? I am an Earthling! The Earth is the Earth. My friend, jokes about my hometown are not funny! Please don't say such things again, otherwise please leave!"

On the red-rusted head of the Iron Man's head, the two iron balls around his eyes were red, and his head was smoking, making him look angry.

"Sorry, no offense intended." Lu Yao regained his serious expression: "I mean, do the locals call your world Earth?"

"Is such that."

The other party is very determined.

At this time, Lu Yao heard the sound of electric vibration stars.

"Sir, disaster relief areas will be synchronized through the signal layer, so many names themselves will be merged and converted. It's like the same world, with different names in the mouths of different individuals, but here they will be unified into one after being recognized by the signal layer. The signal name that is easy to understand. The world name you mentioned is the familiar name from Zila."

After Takumi explained this, Lu Yao suddenly came back to his senses.

The simulator also has this translation function, but I forgot about it.

mine.

However, the problem is that the disaster zone was determined on the signal layer and the hometown described by Zila was the earth, which made Lu Yao feel very puzzled.

"Can you tell me the story of that Earth?"

"Yes, we earthlings live on the earth all year round. Although we will have disputes, conflicts and fights with each other, and occasionally people will die because of it, but overall, it is a good place."

Lu Yao felt a little strange when the words "We Earthlings" were spoken from the mouth of a tin wine cup man.

Zila continued: "We live in the center of the world, where everyone on earth lives. We are born from the center of the world, slowly awaken from the solidified and powerful core of life, that is, the core of the earth, and then emerge from the rotating The cradle enters the red warm ocean outside, where everyone can finally escape the swaddle of the core and move on their own.”

"After entering the ocean, the people on earth were truly born. We can swim around in it or sink into the sea. People on earth spend most of their time enjoying the ocean bathing beach. It is really very comfortable there. Many years have passed. I miss it."

A dim light appeared in Zila's iron ball-like eyes.

"Earthlings in the ocean are indistinguishable from each other, but as we grow up, we need to live independently, and we need to continue walking outside and enter cold areas. Over there is the outer core, where only adult earthlings can survive. There is no ocean around us, and our bodies will solidify. When we grow up, people on Earth will have to walk hard.”

"The outer core area is cold and dangerous, but there are things adults need there, which are soil and stones containing special rare elements. Adults need to obtain those rare elements to maintain their changes."

Lu Yao understood it at this time.

Zila is an earth-centered person living in the center of the earth. It is indeed okay to say that he is an earth-centered person.

Lu Yao asked it: "Do we have to leave the core of the earth? I mean, if we need rare elements, we can go out to collect them together, and then return to the warm core of the earth, right?"

"no."

Zila's body twisted and made a squeaking sound: "As adults, people on Earth no longer want to be with too many people, and we can't be in the same baby forever. People will always grow up. When you grow up, you will long for more things, more things you have never seen before, and more space. The key is to distinguish between others and yourself, you need to incorporate rare elements, which makes us earthly people excited.”

"But if it is too far away from the core of the earth, it will be difficult to move. If it completely loses its ability to move, it will become a cold corpse and its self-awareness will be destroyed."

Zila said in a serious tone: "Until one time, the earth's core shook and twisted violently, and the outer core collapsed and fragmented on a large scale. This kind of vibration was very terrifying, as if it was the end of the world."

"A lot of people were scared at that time, especially the children."

"So adults like us have shouldered the responsibility to confirm the situation in the outside world. If the situation worsens, all adults must return to their infancy and give up themselves."

"I am one of the explorers who left home."

Zila recalled: "I used my head to push open the rocks and layers in the crack, and entered the outside. The closer I got to the outside, the colder it became to the bone, making it more and more difficult for me to move."

"Passing by a certain place, I found it was very warm, and that was also the center of the most violent vibration."

"I climbed up along the crack that led to it, and climbed to the outermost part of the world. Beyond that was the sky with nothing. Under my feet, that place was a huge pit, and the earth was like being bitten. A lot of stones, iron and other sand and gravel flew into the sky... I came to the most dangerous outer world."

Lu Yao and the wine glass man had a detailed exchange about the outer world.

The situation it described was basically the same as that of the earth. At that time, there were no animals, only oceans and land, with some basic and simple life that looked like algae and moss.

"It was very, very cold outside, and a large number of Earthlings were frozen to death. My place was the only warm area where people could survive. I went to rescue other Earthlings nearby and carried them over."

Zira said: "But when I was busy, I didn't realize that the giant pit was also cooling down rapidly. Its solidification blocked all the gaps, and the passage to the underground was buried and sinking. When I came to my senses, I found myself in a desperate situation. All I could do was look for the nearest volcano, hoping to find a new warm area."

"It was snowing heavily outside, blocking all the peaks, and I could hardly move. Using the last bit of strength left in my body, I finally returned to the pit. At that time, I thought I was dead, and I would be like other Earthlings, my body would completely solidify into a block of iron, and then sink into the ground after many years, and return. To the core of the earth. "

"Fortunately, I found a strange substance in that pit that I had never seen before. It is difficult for me to describe what they are. They are dissipating rapidly, but they form a path. I walked along that road into a strange place. Later, I learned that I was downgraded at that time, from the real universe on the verge of death to the virtual universe. "

"When Lu Yao heard this, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Did the earth that was bitten really have some monster? Or was it from the impact and crushing of something?"

"It was an impact."

"Zila said firmly: "Another much smaller earth-collided with our earth, and then caused a big drop in temperature, causing the earthlings to be exposed to the extreme cold environment and continue to die. It was a tragic end of the world. "

"That stellar collision caused a devastating blow to the entire world. As a result, the outside earthlings could not sense the core of the earth, and could not find a path to enter the core of the earth, so they became ordinary iron blocks.

"After the dimensionality reduction, I landed on the white columnar island next to the boundary wall. The island remained almost motionless. The place where I could move was the void island. I moved carefully and collected all the useful materials nearby. It was also cold there, but strangely, although the movement was slow, it would not make me fall asleep or die."

Zila's eyeballs drooped slowly: "I have been there and never met anyone. I only saw a lot of fragments flying into the air, and many destroyed worlds exploded and fell into the boundary wall. Only the place where I was, no one cared, and no one passed by."

"There, I transformed my head and put everything I could find into my brain. It was also at that time that I learned to talk to myself, otherwise I would gradually become unwilling to move."

It pointed to the head of its wine glass: "Although there are some rags in it in the eyes of others, I cherish it very much. Every time I can pick up a new thing, I will be happy for a while."

Lu Yao understood.

After the dimensionality reduction, Zila landed directly on the ruins of the Xirang Sea, which can be said to be a dead start.

Lu Yao asked: "How did you get in?"

"The island where I live collapsed."

Zila suddenly laughed: "Damn, it collapsed, it collapsed. Then I fell into the boundary wall. I thought I would die, but I was sucked into this place."

"I envy you. You can go home after you finish the work. What about me? If I go back, I won't even have that island. It's even more impossible to return to Earth, because the disaster area can only send me back the same way. I'm different from you."

Lu Yao's heart moved: "What if I say I can help you? At least go back to Earth to take a look."

"Don't joke, friend, this is not funny, I said it."

Zila turned his head away, as if he didn't want to discuss it.

Lu Yao emphasized: "I'm serious, because I'm from Earth too."

The other party's body stiffened, and he turned his glass head suddenly: "Do you think I'm easy to fool? You don't look like an Earthling at all! There are no Earthlings like you!"

Lu Yao was a little nervous for a while.

At this time, a voice intervened in the conversation.

"Zila, the person standing in front of you is the noble and great ruler of the Yao clan, the master of natural disasters, the pioneer of the Silver Plains, and the supreme Lord Yao. Watch your attitude. Lord Yao has no time to joke with you."

The tin man was stunned: "Yao... Lord Yao?"

"Don't make this public."

Lu Yao smiled and said: "I am also curious about the situation here. I came here to participate in the front-line labor and see how everyone lives."

Zila said: "I didn't expect that a big man like you would come in person... Tell me, are you really an earthling? I mean, how did the earthlings become like this now?"

Lu Yao's smile froze.

What does it mean to become like this?

Seemingly realizing that something was wrong, Zila quickly changed his words: "No, I mean, the earthlings have changed a lot."

Lu Yao told it about the history of the development of the earth.

“…”

It took a long time for Zila to slowly accept the changes on Earth: “So you are a new Earthling living on the surface, and we are old Earthlings, but you also said that after a complete dimensional reduction, it is impossible to upgrade, right?”

“Of course. But at least go back and take a look, it’s better than not being able to go back at all, right?”

Lu Yao was still thinking in his heart.

When the time is right, Zila can be handed over to the committee. Discovering suspected prehistoric humans should be considered a third-class merit, right? Maybe through Zila, we can contact the current people in the center of the earth.

“Yes! You are right! Then trouble you.” Zila suddenly became happy, and his body flushed slightly.

“To express my gratitude, I will give you all the insignificant savings I have accumulated over the years.”

Lu Yao wanted to say that he didn’t need to be so polite.

But when he heard the number reported by Zila, his eyes suddenly widened.

"How many?"

"About 132 million gear teeth. I won't need many of them when I go back, and the extra ones are useless. I'm not interested in those weird abilities, and I don't like fighting, so I'll give them all to you."

Lu Yao was shocked.

This eccentric and weird glasshead turned out to be a silent asset tycoon!
