Chapter 545 The Magical Green City! Negotiations and Observations!
Recalling the past scenes, the terrible cold wave was like hell. Now everyone is extremely scared when they think about it.
They are actually grateful to the "Greedy Demon" who saved them. Now when they talk about it, they have a hint of mysterious awe.
"We are lucky..."
Suddenly, there was a roar outside the window, and the snow accumulated on the roof was shaken and scattered on the ground.
All the sober people couldn't help but look out, and then opened their mouths.
Whether it was the most powerful mayors of the two cities or the masters below, they felt that they would never forget this scene in their lives - on the vast white snow, more than 100,000 insects of all sizes were sweeping the snow!
"Biba!" "Bili!" Various calls came one after another, and it sounded a bit cheerful.
Most of the insects have hideous faces, sharp teeth, and extremely dangerous breath. Even as level 6 masters, they are unwilling to fight with these guys.
There are also a large number of silver-white robots mixed in, and they seem to be sweeping the snow?
There were even some children playing on the roadside... the sound of laughter could be heard faintly.
"Wow!" The giant turtle crawled out of the cave again and made a strange cry.
This scene was too weird from any angle, so that everyone thought "this must be a historical flashback scene".
"Is this the inside of the ruins?"
"These bugs should be real... children and humans may be fake..."
"Don't take it lightly! Everything may be a conspiracy of the turtle. The turtle may want to capture us and accompany it forever! Or should we go back and seek the protection of the greedy demon?"
Everyone shuddered. In the ancient legend, there was a story about stripping out the soul and making soul gems.
If it was really this turtle that caught them...
Just as they were stunned, footsteps were heard outside the door.
"Dong, dongdong. Dear guests, are you awake?"
Tagang was extremely alert at this moment, but their weapons had been taken away, and they were no match for those terrible bugs in hand-to-hand combat.
It is even more unwise to escape by jumping out of the window. There are so many enemies outside, it is no different from committing suicide.
The door opened.
Two king insects entered the room first.
As the most elite warriors of the insect nest, they are now level 12 extraordinary life forms. The fully armed golden shells bring 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, there are several power armors, which contain translators from the 18th civilization of human beings.
"Dear guests, you are awake. Please follow us to the cafeteria for dinner."
Tagang 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."
"The name of this city is Green City. It has grown and developed under the protection of Princess Green."
Translation ability users, the Ulan tribe is not unfamiliar with this term, because their city also has the same divine skills.
"Does this city have an owner?"
"Of course, we have been active here."
"Are those children outside not hallucinations?" Another soldier couldn't help but get louder.
The human translator was amused: "They are children of my civilization. In order to cultivate the spirit of adventure, let them play in the snow."
"Although the weather is a little cold, whether boys or girls, they must cultivate a temperament that is not afraid of setbacks from an early age."
It seems to be right. Didn't the Ulan tribe also exercise from an early age?
All the guests were a little doubtful about their lives at this moment. They worked hard to come here to pick up garbage, but it turned out that this city had an owner!
They didn't pick up any garbage, and they experienced a cold wave and were captured!
What the hell is this for?
In a short while, all kinds of emotions, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty, all came up, and everyone couldn't help wanting to cry.
And the Grand Secretary Constantine was even more embarrassed. What nostalgic turtles, historical recollections, were all his blind guesses...
It's embarrassing to say it out loud!
But soon, the outsiders corrected their attitudes and tried to ease the atmosphere: "In the cold wave, we met a being called Greedy Demon..."
Speaking of this, Green City was a little proud: "That is indeed the guardian of my city and our supreme leader. I wonder if he..."
"He reached out to rescue us... We should thank him. The grace of saving our lives is unforgettable, and we really can't repay him."
"You're welcome. He asked you to rest here."
"Are you also human beings...from the Snowy Continent?" Tagang looked at the children outside the window?
"No, our hometown is in this city... Snowy Continent... This is the first time I've heard of it. We've seen many species that look similar to humans, but we ultimately decided that using reproductive isolation to classify species is a more scientific approach. So similar looks do not necessarily mean 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 I walked. I had to replenish my energy.
"You have to eat first and then talk about other things. A knife is applied horizontally and vertically. 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. Our Green City has indeed just arrived here." the translator asked.
The city lord of Ulan City, Tagang, cleared his throat: "This place is called the Northern Territory, the extreme territory in the north, with cold winters all year round... As for why it is this geographical term, we are not sure, because all the major ruins have 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 properties are produced on a large scale."
"Large-scale cold waves occasionally occur, and technological development is slow."
"But ice-attributed ores, how should I say... there are indeed a lot of them, but they are somewhat 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 north, but compared to the huge area, they are still vast and sparsely populated, and transportation is not very convenient."
"It's a city that's too far away. There's no way to get there. Where did your city come from?"
"We... fell in accidentally from outside the northern border."
"Are you foreign guests... No wonder you appear in such a bizarre 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.
More importantly...influence!
In Pangu Continent, the function of influence is unknown. If this wave works well, the name of "Demon God of Greed" will finally be achieved!
…
These outsiders had 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.
After all, Mailu City has a civilization ruins, and 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 specialties.
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 inside.
Steaming dishes are placed 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 didn't 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 meat and steam with a light bite.
"This food tastes so good! I don't know 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 quite 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, which is steaming and uses a shower head. These outsiders haven't bathed for a long time, their skin is covered with a thick layer of pulp, and their body odor is a bit strong.
Turning on the shower head, hot water poured out.
"Oh, I know this thing. It is said that many powerful civilizations are popular with it." The university scholar said excitedly, "It's quite luxurious. You have to store hot water in a container. Cities with scarce energy can't use it."
Ahem, under normal circumstances, taking a bath once a year is good.
These masters are also smart people. They quickly learned how to use the shower. They took a hot bath comfortably, took off a layer of their thick skin, and then put on the casual clothes prepared by humans. These clothes are made of carbon nanomaterials, which are light and warm.
Please...collect 6...books...!
"Dear guests, please come in. Our leaders want to see you and talk about future cooperation."
"Here we are!" The two city lords looked at each other and soon reached a tacit understanding-we must advance and retreat together!
Ordinary soldiers stayed in the restaurant, while the city lords of the two cities, plus several staff members such as the university scholar, went to the nearby meeting room with full of emotions.
Near this big round table, in addition to human species, there is also a blue-haired birdman and a brown-haired ratman.
Seeing these two exotic species, they were quite surprised.
"Is this city a multi-ethnic alliance?"
Multi-ethnic alliances are not uncommon in the North. The cities of these races were destroyed by some disasters, and multiple races reunited, supported each other, and established a new civilization in the geothermal area.
"I am the commander-in-chief of the 18th civilization of mankind, Lu Yuan. Dear foreign friends, we have met outside." Lu Yuan made a gesture, indicating that they should sit across the round table.
Hearing this voice, everyone sounded familiar.
Then his eyes widened and he remembered... Isn't this the voice of the stone man?
Tagang came back to his senses and bowed: "Thank you for saving my life, Commander Lu Yuan. Without your rescue, we might have frozen to death."
"Words cannot describe our gratitude!"
"I, Tagang, owe you a life!"
These words are true.
Lu Yuan nodded and smiled, "It's just a small favor, and you've already paid for it."
"We are new to our city, and there are still many common senses that we haven't learned yet. We hope that the leaders can explain the common sense of life here to us."
"If you have good specialties, we can also trade with each other and learn from each other."
"Trading is a win-win choice. Let us live better in this difficult time."
Tagang's face changed: "Is your civilization willing to sell technological products?"
"Of course, as long as the price is right, is there anything that can't be sold? Let's put it this way, we are now short of mineral resources, including iron ore and copper ore. If you have ore, we are willing to buy it."
"In addition, for extraordinary resources, we also purchase in large quantities and will give you a good price."
"There are also spiritual crystals and spiritual rhyme. You have so many civilizations and have dug so many ruins. It is impossible that you don't know the news in this regard."
"This... we naturally know."
Spirit rhyme is the common currency unit in the North! This fact has long been spread.
Through some glyph combinations, extraordinary items can be converted into spiritual charm.
But no matter which city, even if it is a powerful dwarf city, 1 spiritual charm is a large currency unit, so people will only use this thing when trading extremely precious items.
Otherwise, most of them are bartering.
Hearing this, the two city lords felt a little uneasy, hoping that this powerful technological civilization would offer a cheaper price, otherwise they could only give up strategically... After all, their social level could not play with electric technology.
Then, the two sides talked enthusiastically and talked about the general situation of this bitter and cold land.
The annual temperature in the north is below minus 20 degrees Celsius.
It is already a relatively hot season.
The further north you go, the colder the climate.
Because there are so many civilizations, gambling is very popular in this land.
When two strange cities meet, they basically have to gamble with cold weapons.
Lu Yuan frowned slightly. Thinking about it carefully, it is normal. There are so many cities. In order to prevent war, don’t they have to gamble?
"How do you rank in this continent in terms of your overall strength?"
"Maybe... below average." When saying this, the sturdy man rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly. There is no point in hiding it, and this kind of thing is easy to investigate.
Another city, Mailo City, is actually slightly stronger and thinks it should be at the middle level.
But in this case, we can only acquiesce.
Lu Yuan took a deep breath and comforted: "Ahem... That means there is still a lot of room for improvement. Let's talk about other things. What else do you know?"
Grand Secretary Constantine talked freely: "As far as I know, the Tengyue tribe occupies the northernmost city. This is a long-haired race, generally 2 meters tall, and has strong combat power."
"Further north, there are no civilized cities, only some suspicious savages."
"Savage?"
"They have lost their reason and culture, and may be creatures passed down from the ancient times. They have evolved the ability to adapt to the cold winter and absorb ice elements, but have lost their wisdom and live a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood."
There are also such creatures...
Lu Yuan frowned slightly, a bit like the group of slaves who had lost their wisdom in the Shumiba civilization.
"Does no one know what is in the far north?"
Constantine said: "According to the literature, the city of the Tengyue tribe is located in a geothermal zone with an average temperature of minus 60 degrees Celsius all year round. Going further north, there is no more geothermal zone."
"The temperature continues to drop, eventually dropping below minus 160 degrees Celsius."
"This temperature can keep methane in liquid form, so there are large tracts of methane lakes in the north."
"But even in the methane lakes, there is a strange fungus that survives tenaciously. The Tengyue tribe picks this fungus all year round as a specialty of civilization, so they are quite rich."
"What is the use of fungi?"
"A kind of...alchemical material." The university scholar said, "In the north, the extraordinary materials of ice elements are too redundant, and we have to find a way to use them. That kind of fungus can transform ice elements into softer life elements, so it is quite popular."
Alchemy, in other words, is medical science.
Taking drugs to level up is quite popular here.
Human 18 civilizations have scientific research methods, and the local natives have also found localized alchemy in long-term practice.
"I roughly understand, you continue."
The university scholar drew a simple map: "If you continue to go north, the weather is too cold, and the temperature is minus 200 degrees Celsius all year round."
"At this time, even the air will freeze, forming liquid oxygen and nitrogen lakes, and only a microorganism called water bears can survive. Even the Tengyue tribe 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 warm up, or maybe not. Anyway, no one can cross the extreme cold barrier"
The negotiators on the Green City side looked at each other, what kind of extremely harsh conditions are these?
To be honest, even Green City wants to cross this ice hell, it is very difficult.
Once there is a mistake in the middle, it will fall into an irreversible situation.
"Unless it is a spaceship from an interstellar civilization... Commander-in-Chief, should we find a way to build an interstellar spaceship?" The Lanpeng people began to fantasize about their interstellar civilization again.
These bird people fantasize about their interstellar universe all day long.
"What about other directions? Is it just as cold?" Lu Yuan sneered at the interstellar universe. He knew deeply that the danger actually came from the universe!
Grand Secretary Constantine thought for a while: "In the south, east and west of the northern border, there will be a huge natural chasm, as if the entire continent has split open."
"No civilization can cross that chasm, not even the most powerful dwarf civilization." This grand secretary is still very knowledgeable and knows a little about everything.
"How deep is this natural chasm?"
"How deep?"
The grand secretary shook his head: "That is a cosmic void, where is the concept of depth? Even gravity will slowly disappear, and you will float up once you pass it."
"The atmospheric pressure will slowly decrease, oxygen will be scarce, and everyone will suffocate to death!"
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows. There is actually such a place?
Then, the think tanks behind Green City also discussed with great interest: "Looking at their body movements and emotions, they should not lie... This information is easy to verify."
"If this is true, it will be difficult for us to leave."
"Is this the edge of Pangu Continent?"
"The first way is to cross the harsh cold in the north and head north. That is really a great and difficult journey, and we have to make a lot of preparations."
"The second is to use the spatial ability of the [Monster] and let it take us away when it jumps."
"Of course, we don't have to be too anxious... The geographical environment of the north is indeed to be investigated. It is very strange here, and perhaps it hides a great secret."
…
