Chapter 494 Golden Waste City Allamanda
The group of people explored this ancient city that had been abandoned for countless years, frequently marveling at the magnificent buildings they saw.
Those majestic spiers and high walls all have a light golden luster, and the streets present a continuous and smooth appearance as if they were cast as a whole. Although there are many signs of collapse and cracking in the city's buildings, it is still not difficult to imagine How glorious this place was in its good times.
It is like those ancient heroic cities in mythological stories, built by the gods and cast of brass and gold. A glorious civilization once lived here, but now it is lifeless, and only these abandoned ruins remain.
Everyone found a large collapsed building, which seemed to be a public place for gatherings, surrounded by roads extending in all directions and a huge square. The building itself was almost split in two due to some natural disaster that was suspected of being an earthquake. Half of its walls collapsed, revealing the vast interior space and the exquisite volley corridor structure. Lily jumped around nimbly among the ruins and collected some golden gravel and came back: "Look, landlord, landlord! What a good stone! What a good stone!"
"How long has it been abandoned here..." Hao Ren looked at the large areas of ruins around him. These building materials were obviously different from those on earth. They showed almost no signs of weathering. Except for being broken by external forces, every piece was as smooth as new. "Wrathful spirits created this place?"
Anna was carefully protected by everyone in the middle of the team. She was the only one who could possibly reveal the secrets here, and she knew this very well, so she kept frowning and trying to search out those distorted and chaotic memories from her mind, looking at Looking at the dilapidated city in front of her, the phantoms outlined by the angry spirit in her mind gradually became clear and overlapped with them: "Alamanda, the name of this city is Alamanda, and it is one of the three final cities."
"Remember what?" Hao Ren looked at Anna expectantly. He knew that this girl's memory had become the key to exploring this lost world.
"Alamanda is one of the last shelters in Tanagus. It is cast from metal, and the entire city is shrouded in a magnificent protective shield." Anna tapped her temples, "I can only Based on the surrounding scene, we can roughly judge that we are in the city center - the picture imprinted in my mind by the evil spirit is not exactly the same as here. The Alamanda in my 'memory' is a complete city, with the sky covered with lavender. The stuff, every building was gleaming, and the streets were full of... people.”
"Obviously that was the scene before the city was abandoned," Vivian touched her chin, "The angry spirit... a group of spiritual beings would not build such a city. These buildings are obviously prepared for corporeal beings. Look at those Steps and handrails, their users should be closer to humans.”
"And there are these two keys. The angry spirits obviously don't have fingers, so they can't use this..." Hao Ren mumbled and took out the two keys from his pocket, and was surprised to find that these two small devices were actually in The color gradually changed, from gray-black to pale gold like the surrounding building debris, "Um...what's going on?"
Betsy suddenly remembered those black stone pillars she had seen in the dark snowfield before - billboards, bus stop signs, message boards - the color of those stone pillars obviously did not match the city, but now she watched the two keys change. When they turned golden, she finally understood what was going on: "This should be their original appearance. Maybe they were oxidized on the earth."
Lily glanced at Betsy: "Don't use these terms casually if you don't understand them clearly. Is this how oxidation and reduction are used?"
Betsy put her hands on her hips: "It's not easy for me, an alien from another world, to learn how to scold people online just two months after I arrived on Earth. Can you please not care about my knowledge of modern chemistry!"
Anna and Nangong Sanba were stunned for a moment. They didn't know what Betsy meant by aliens. However, Hao Ren didn't give them a chance to ask questions, because he suddenly discovered something seemed to be buried under the collapsed rubble in front of him: "There is a statue there!"
When Lily saw that she had another chance to dig a hole, she jumped up and ran over. By the time Hao Ren and the others caught up, the girl had already dug up the layer of waste with her hands and feet. Sure enough, there was a golden statue buried underneath. statue. Lily reached out and pulled the statue out, exclaiming in surprise: "Wow! This thing is so heavy!"
Hao Ren looked at the sculpture that was as tall as one person in astonishment. It showed the image of a humanoid creature: the humanoid creature had a slender figure, but a flat and wide face. His eye sockets were deep-set, and the bridge of his nose was high. , with long arms and a gorgeous and complicated dress. The statue's arms are folded on the abdomen, which is an elegant and graceful standing posture. It may be placed here for decoration.
This is undoubtedly an image of the natives of this lost world.
And there is no doubt that he looks different from Wrath Spirit...well, completely different. Does Wrath Spirit have a look?
"This is a Tana person," Anna stroked the face of the statue, feeling a sense of nostalgia deep in her heart, but she knew that this kind of nostalgia was not her own, but the feelings tampered with by evil spirits in her memory, perhaps. The evil spirit was remembering the form he once had, "what the residents of Tanagus once looked like, but now this race is extinct."
"Tanagus," Nangong Wuyue blinked, "You mentioned this name again. Is it the planet under our feet?"
"Yes," Anna nodded, "but I still can't remember more things clearly. Maybe I can remember them after seeing more ruins."
Hao Ren waved his hand: "Okay, let's continue walking deeper... Betsy, what are you doing?"
Hao Ren turned around and saw Betsy standing blankly next to the sculpture without moving. He couldn't help but asked curiously. The latter just stood there as if she was stupid. She reached out and touched the arm of the sculpture. After a while, she suddenly He let out a strange cry: "Oh gold ah ah ah ah!! Gold ah ah!!"
Hao Ren was so frightened by Betsy's voice that he was sweating all over. After reacting, he jumped up: "What did you say?!"
"This, this, this...this is gold!" Betsy twisted her thigh hard, then jumped on the statue and started pulling and tugging, trying to drag this thing away, " Gold, gold, gold!"
Lily shouted when she saw this situation: "Landlady, she's sick again!"
Hao Ren rushed to the side of the statue in two steps, patted the statue and then patted Betsy who was convulsing: "Are you sure?"
"All my life, I have looked in the mirror and admitted my mistakes, but I still recognize gold!" Betsy pulled the statue's legs hard, her face turned red, "Gold gave me power... Damn, mental power can't defeat the laws of physics, this thing How did you pull out Lily, who weighs several tons!"
Lily stepped forward and put the sculpture on her shoulders: "Because it's not too heavy."
Betsy was still hugging the sculpture. From a distance, it looked like she was picked up by Lily: "Let's get this thing back! I won't have to worry about it in my life! Landlord, you can also buy the whole street!" "
To be honest, Hao Ren and the people around him were a little confused at this time, and Vivian, the unlucky guy who had been poor all his life, felt like he was drifting away. Nangong Sanba pinched his thigh: "What kind of rich people lived in this place back then..."
"Surprised?" The loud voice from the data terminal suddenly interrupted everyone's excitement, "Look around you."
Hao Ren looked around and saw the remains of those pale golden buildings.
"Everything here contains a certain amount of gold. It's just that the outer walls of the buildings contain less gold. It's just used for coloring, and this sculpture is pure gold. Gold is not a wealth on this planet. Symbol - it is just a common material, and because it is too dense, it is usually mixed with things like cement and light metal before use, just like sand."
Everyone: "..."
"If the conditions are right, you can even find diamond planets and gold planets in the universe. Of course, the probability is very low: the proportion of gold elements released after a supernova explosion in all matter is still very small, but Again, as long as there is enough coincidence and the right conditions..." the data terminal said while flying around the crowd, "it will be like this... gold will be everywhere."
Hao Ren suddenly recovered from the shock. He squeezed his arm, then turned to look at Betsy: "Cut a small piece and take it away as a souvenir, and then we can continue our work."
Betsy was stunned: "Eh?"
The data terminal touched the back of Hao Ren's head with satisfaction: "Very good."
