Chapter 541 Sir, We Found Something Good!
Although sometimes, the same race is more hateful than the different races; but most of the time, the same race can still hold each other together for warmth.
A high-level relic is enough to plunge the surrounding cities into a state of war!
At that time, it will be a large-scale melee based on races. A hundred years ago, the emergence of a medium-level relic caused several surrounding cities to be in turmoil for 20 years, and the number of casualties was millions!
After figuring this out, the leaders of the two cities all changed their faces slightly.
"The mirage is too shocking, and it must have alarmed many races. If it is really a high-level relic... 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 take a high-level relic alone?"
"That's fine. Then let's advance and retreat together for the time being."
The two sides agreed that under the shadow of war, it would be better to go over and take a look, and plunder as much as possible.
In this way, the two sides set out again in a mighty manner, one after the other.
…
A few hours later, the armies of both sides stopped on a small hill, looking at the green city in the distance.
As night fell, the temperature was getting lower and lower.
The two-horned horses trembled. After running for two consecutive days, their physical strength reached the limit, and even the air they exhaled was slightly cold.
But everyone's mind was 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 pieces 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. There may be tens of millions of cars at a glance!
Most of the mechanical vehicles look gray and have a thick layer of patina because they have not been maintained for a long time. Some are even rusty.
But you have to know that technological products are extremely precious in this icy environment.
Because the price of fuel is very expensive, coal, as a necessity of life, is expensive. The cost of smelting steel is even more expensive!
Whether it is Ulan City or Mailo City, they have already known the existence of technology - how can there be no technological civilization with so many races gathered together?
However, the main reason for not vigorously developing 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! Even the sixth-level masters can't stand the extreme cold wave!
In this low temperature environment, water pipes, equipment and storage tanks are easy to freeze, oil becomes thicker, and the failure rate of equipment increases significantly.
The start-up of the factory is restricted, and the development of technology is naturally difficult.
"Do you still have the energy? Should we take a rest here or rush to the ruins today?"
"Sir, the last mountain road is rugged and may take five or six hours."
"Our mounts are almost exhausted and must rest, otherwise the two-horned horses will die."
"Then quickly find a col that can block the wind and snow. Tomorrow, we will definitely arrive!"
The two groups of people and horses had red eyes and urged the horses under their crotches to run faster, stepping out a series of deep pits on the snow.
The sun was heading west and night fell. Green City was within reach, only the last thirty kilometers.
At this moment, there was no need to think about the issue of dividing the spoils. As long as a city got tens of thousands of cars, it would be a huge fortune... Although these cars were most likely broken, the materials and parts on them alone were worth thousands of gold and could be traded with other civilizations.
Like headlights and electric motors, they can all be taken out and used separately.
"Whoa! Stop, everyone stop, this place is suitable for rest!" Suddenly, the city lord of Ulan City, "Tagang", saw a small hill and pulled the reins and shouted.
The team quickly hid behind the hill and started to build an igloo.
The igloo was hemispherical, with a thick layer of straw on the roof and then a layer of clothes; at the same time, animal skins were hung on the spiral walls inside the house to produce a very high warming effect. The two-horned horse blew white mist from its mouth and chewed beans to slightly restore its strength.
Another team from the city of Mailo was not far behind, and asked the soldiers to take out small metal shields and put them on the igloo.
The carvings on these small metal shields have the characteristics of covering and keeping warm, which is even better than ordinary animal skins.
Tagang couldn't help but sigh: "This is the heritage. We don't have enough wealth to engrave this kind of carving, and we have to carry extra warm baggage."
Looking down from a high place, they were more eager for the property in the ruins, and they wished that the sun would rise again the next moment.
At this moment, the ground trembled slightly with a "boom".
Everyone's eyes widened immediately, and Tagang even took out a telescope - although the workmanship was very rough, it was indeed a telescope.
Two black behemoths came out from nowhere and ran at high speed in the ruins!
One looked like a turtle, with four legs, a head, and a tail.
But this turtle was too big, its shell was as high as a three-story building, and its neck reached five stories.
The other one was even more terrifying!
I don't know what it is, but its size is even bigger than the "Spider King" in the low-level ruins, and its two large claws made a "clicking" sound.
The two behemoths collided passionately while running, and made strange noises from their mouths.
"These should be the guardians of civilization? These two things are not easy to deal with. Only heavy weapons can have a chance of winning." Tagang hid behind the hill and looked quietly.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and heavy breathing came one after another.
Everyone began to think about how to deal with the three-story turtle.
The most important thing for people is not combat power, but wisdom.
"Don't be nervous, we are located in the downwind, it's not so easy to be discovered."
"This turtle must be a treasure, the meat alone is worth a lot of money! And the turtle shell, did you see it? There are naturally existing carvings... It's incredible! I have enough reason to suspect that this turtle shell is an amazing carving material."
"You mean..."
"It is the heritage of the ruins. It's best to catch it alive and tame it. Bleeding every day is better than killing it." A university scholar named Constantine stroked the extraordinary glasses on his nose.
"But what exactly is that giant scorpion-like insect... I can't tell. I don't seem to recognize this monster."
"I don't know how many crises this city still hides."
Even though everyone was very excited, they still had to be cautious. The soldiers started to make fires and cook, and only a few leaders kept observing.
After a while, something shocking happened!
A group of children rushed out of the small cave, played with snow, and climbed the turtle.
The turtle seemed very excited, carrying a group of children at high speed.
These native creatures have excellent eyesight and can distinguish the existence of children from the heavy snow from dozens of kilometers away.
"How is it possible... How did a group of children suddenly appear? They look similar to us!" The fifth-level warrior, Tungmu, showed an incredible expression and screamed, "These children are playing with the turtle... The turtle is laughing very loudly!"
"What are they talking about?"
"...Too far away, can't hear!"
"Hey, Tungmu, you are still young." The university scholar in the team, Constantine, talked freely, showing an expression of being indifferent.
"There are two possibilities for this phenomenon. First, this is a certain extraordinary ability of the turtle!"
"The civilization has declined, the population has disappeared, and the turtle imagined the past life to comfort itself now."
"Don't underestimate the guardians of civilization. They are all very intelligent and can recall the past... and their abilities are all kinds of strange and all-encompassing."
"So it has the ability to attack mentally?"
"I think it should!" The university scholar made a gesture.
Everyone's muscles were tense. Mental attacks are not easy to deal with. Methods such as digging traps are not very meaningful.
"Wow!" At this moment, the sound of the immortal giant turtle came from afar.
Everyone felt that their mind was affected.
Even the city lord Tagang agreed with this statement in his heart: "It seems that we have to change our thinking to deal with it."
"These children...are there any other possibilities?"
"Of course there are, this is called historical replay!"
"Some powerful civilization relics, even if they are completely destroyed, will still leave a lot of historical traces. Because at the moment of extinction, the civilization exudes a lot of idealistic energy." The university scholar looked at the heavy snow in the sky and said confidently, "You should know a divine skill called "historical replay", right? This divine skill can find the marks left by history."
"But under certain special conditions, there will also be natural historical replay scenes, but the number is relatively small."
"So, these children are either illusions created by the turtle, or historical replay!"
Everyone showed admiration.
The university scholar, Constantine, traveled around the world when he was young, and he was knowledgeable. Even the strangest scenes would have reasonable explanations.
A soldier murmured: "So this is really a medium-level civilization? Otherwise, there would be no historical retrospection phenomenon."
"Absolutely...it may even be a high-level relic! And the original owner of this relic is also a human species, and we can use many things directly."
"Like armor, shoes, furniture, etc., we can use them without modification. It is really a treasure from heaven."
Suddenly, someone else screamed: "What is that...a robot? Grand Secretary, are these robots also illusions created by the turtle?"
The Grand Secretary stroked his glasses and watched the human power armor cleaning the snow. He couldn't make up his mind for a while.
How could this scene be so real?
He snorted coldly: "Don't underestimate illusions!"
"The ability of the true vision level can be so real that it can interfere with reality."
"Perhaps that turtle is really powerful and wants to rewrite the fate of the city being swallowed by the heavy snow..."
"Unfortunately, this is the North, where there is no life. It will eventually be buried by the 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 relic can still work! This is amazing."
"It means that wealth is more valuable than we thought. You should understand what a working machine means, a complete industrial chain."
His voice was quite firm, and everyone's mood became more and more fanatical.
"Grand Scholar, there is a creature in the sky, a long strip like a train! It fell down!"
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. Falling 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 a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, and unknown giant creatures appeared one after another.
Now three of them appear at once, but it's really not easy to deal with them.
You can't just see wealth and not see risk.
"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 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"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 by now. 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 Grand Scholar shook his head: "No, this kind of creature usually has a means of dormancy. It will go into hibernation directly after its physical energy declines. 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 Xiao Dongtian.
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!"
"Alas, what I'm saying is...those children have gone back!
"The turtle has also gone back. Let's have a good rest. We must get to the ruins tomorrow."
Tagang 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 move materials on a large scale? Obviously, the beasts of burden cannot transport cars because of their carrying capacity, so larger beasts of burden are needed.
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.
"Well, 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 shocked 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 constantly look 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 brains are raised. Just like telecommunications fraud in earth civilization, the police come to the door, but the victim is still unaware of it and is still looking for "reasonable" excuses to numb his nerves. ——As long as wealth is large enough, greed can overwhelm all rationality and rationalize all irrational 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 of missing people."
"Extreme cold wave phenomena are expected. 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, it would be better to 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 won't snow all year round in this place, right? A huge snowstorm greeted us on the first day?"
An expert from the meteorological research team said on the screen: "We simply calculated the thickness of the ice and snow, and the average thickness is more than two kilometers, which shows that the climate here is somewhat similar to the North and South Poles of the Earth."
"But even in the North and South Poles, there are sunny days, otherwise where would all the water resources come from? Don't be too nervous."
"That's true..."
"This extreme cold wave comes from the north, and we have detected a vague idealistic fluctuation."
"You mean...relic of civilization? Or natural treasures?"
"All possible."
Everyone was eager to try.
According to the "Law of Conservation of Risk", the more dangerous the place, the higher the probability of the existence of relics of civilization.
People are now eager to dig a big one and make another big development!
"Everyone, it is important to protect yourself first, and stop exploring! Since this is the first day here, there is no need to rush to eat the blizzard!" The old cat issued an order to the soldiers, "Stay in the room, everyone, eat something good."
"Of course, the necessary duty and vigilance are still necessary. Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
The old cat looked into the distance and thought to himself: I wonder if there is any civilization surviving tenaciously in this icy and snowy land.
...
"Those behemoths have returned to their nests!"
These battle-hardened men who have been trained in the snow for a long time tasted a hint of danger in the air.
The snow stopped abruptly, and not a single snowflake disappeared.
It was like the tranquility before the arrival of a heavy snowstorm.
The university scholar looked at the increasingly dark sky, and the gray clouds appeared in a spiral shape, like a snail shell.
His face suddenly changed: "Not good! Extreme cold wave may be coming, we are in the center of the eye of the storm!"
"Quick, expand the ice house! Concentrate all the warming resources, manpower and material resources in one ice house."
"Hurry up!"
He was just roaring and shouting this order.
More than 200 people trembled all over when they heard the term "extreme cold wave", as if they recalled terrible memories.
With so many people and so many horses, they have to dig at least a 500-square-meter ice house!
The depth must be at least four meters!
They prayed to God for mercy and not to lose his temper on the last day.
"Sir, we dug up something good!" Suddenly a patrol soldier shouted.
Everyone ran out to see that four soldiers including Tungmu had dug out a strange big lump.
This lump looks like the shape of an egg, very hard and oval.
It was particularly eye-catching under the light of the fire. Its surface showed various textures. Its color was dark gray, light brown, or dark blue. It blended with the surrounding environment, but inadvertently revealed its uniqueness and extraordinaryness.
Its tonnage was also quite high, and it was roughly estimated to weigh 20 tons.
"What is this thing... fell from the city?"
The university scholar stroked his beard: "Think about it, wasn't the ruins of this city suspended at the beginning?"
"It landed on the ground later. During the whole landing process, this iron lump fell from the sky above the city and fell here."
With this explanation, everyone immediately understood.
"So that's it!"
"Is this thing a treasure?"
"It should be a pile of industrial waste." The university scholar tapped the metal shell with his fingers, making a "dangdangdang" sound.
"It's solid, I can't identify it, it's not some extraordinary material."
"It's too heavy, we can't take it back now."
Everyone felt sorry, it would be great if they could pick up a car. Picking up this broken thing is really useless.
