Chapter 151 Fusion

Varela City, East District Wall of Sighs.

After the sudden sandstorm completely dissipated, Holt's heart fell back to the ground.

Thank the goddess.

He looked at the Wall of Sighs in front of him and couldn't help but silently said a sentence in his heart.

Recalling the crackling sound of the plasma barrier just now, Holt's intention to leave the city suddenly faded a lot.

It seems... it's also good to stay in the city?

On the side, the lucky ones who had just returned from outside the city stared blankly at the heavy Wall of Sighs.

Obviously, they haven't recovered from the shocking scene just now.

Holt couldn't help but sigh in his heart: After such a thing, I don't know if anyone will be willing to go out of the city to take risks in the future.

"It's... it's not over yet..."

A slight murmur came from one of the lucky ones, attracting Holt's attention.

"What's not over yet?"

Holt frowned slightly, took a half step forward and asked in a deep voice.

"...Outside the city wall, it seems that something is approaching again."

Hearing this, Holt's expression was choked.

Without any hesitation, he took a few steps forward and put his ear to the heavy Wall of Sighs.

Rumble...

A low, vague rumble came from a very far distance.

As time passed, the sound gradually became clearer and louder.

Something is indeed approaching the city of Varela!

When Holt realized this, he did not hesitate at all and rushed into the guard post set up inside the Wall of Sighs.

There was a small window in each guard post for only one person to observe.

Under the confused eyes of several guards, Holt stood on a wooden chair, leaned on the small window, and cast his eyes outside the wall.

The originally lush forest was now in a mess, with broken branches and thick, dim sand everywhere.

Further away, the forest almost disappeared, and only bare yellow-brown soil was left on the ground.

But these are not the point.

At the end of the sight, a mechanical behemoth that looked like a small hill was making a rumbling sound and heading straight towards Varela City!

In the air, countless intelligent drones were circling around the mechanical behemoth!

...

Half an hour later.

The rumbling sound became louder and louder, and even the ground could feel a slight vibration.

Xu Huai, wearing the Pope's robe, stood at the guard post of the Wall of Sighs with a serious look, observing the mechanical behemoth outside the wall.

It was a heavy machine.

Looking at the scene in the observation window, Xu Huai's face suddenly became ugly.

There is no doubt that it was definitely a heavy device that only intelligent machines could have!

One wave has not settled, another wave has risen.

Varela City has only been peaceful for more than half a month, and it has been attacked by intelligent machines again!

"Your Excellency the Pope."

When Xu Huai was silent, Holt's extremely firm words came from beside him: "The goddess will protect Varela City!"

Xu Huai did not speak, and a bitter smile appeared in his eyes.

The goddess you are talking about is probably controlling the mechanical behemoth outside the city!

Looking at the approaching heavy machinery, the despair in Xu Huai's eyes gradually deepened.

It's too big!

Its height is even the same as the Wall of Sighs!

And the huge bucket with sharp metal teeth in front of it, can the Wall of Sighs really withstand such an existence?

Under Xu Huai's gaze, the heavy machinery stopped moving forward with a rumbling sound, and the giant bucket in front of it gently pressed against the Wall of Sighs.

What on earth does it want to do?

Just when Xu Huai was extremely confused, several figures emerged from the back of the heavy machinery.

Figures?

Xu Huai was stunned.

How could there be figures?

Intelligent machinery and humans... Aren't they enemies who are willing to die?

Through the thick observation window glass and the Wall of Sighs, Xu Huai couldn't hear the words of these figures, but she could vaguely see the excitement and joy in their actions.

Suddenly.

The hatch at the waist of the heavy machinery slowly opened, and three familiar figures emerged from the hatch one after another.

Is this...

Chen Fan? !

Looking at the figure standing on the heavy machinery, Xu Huai's eyes widened suddenly.

After a brief daze, she turned around quickly, facing the anxious eyes of Holt and other guards, and she gave orders word by word:

"Open the city gate!"

...

The shock wave brought by the antimatter bomb is not all bad.

At least, it has greatly accelerated the travel speed of the residents of Kukan Underground City - a large number of trees were uprooted, and the rugged forest road almost turned into a spacious plain.

Coupled with the powerful road-clearing ability of the Hercules bulldozer, Chen Fan and his party arrived at their destination in just a few dozen minutes.

"Is this the Varela City you mentioned?"

As soon as he left the control room of the bulldozer, Chen Fan heard Hong Chengdong's loud voice coming from the side: "I only dared to look at it from a distance before, but I didn't expect this thing to be so high..."

"Why is the gate closed?"

Looking at the fortress-like Varela City in front of him, Hong Chengdong's spirit was obviously a little excited, and his speech speed also increased a lot: "Brother Fan, are you sure we can go in?"

Not only Hong Chengdong, all the residents of the underground city had similar emotions.

They have always lived in the underground city, and they can't imagine that one day they can live in a city without a dome above their heads!

"Don't worry, you can definitely get in."

A spherical detector slowly rose from Chen Fan's hand: "Wait a minute, I'll go in and say hello first, so as not to cause panic among the residents in the city..."

Rumble...

Before the voice fell, the tightly closed heavy city gate slowly opened with a rumble, and the scene in the city also appeared in front of all the residents of the underground city.

Guards wearing bright silver armor stood behind the city gate as if facing a great enemy.

In front of the guards, a dignified woman in a purple and gold robe was looking at them with a smile.

"Xu Huai?"

Just when Hong Chengdong was at a loss, Chen Fan's eyes lit up and he raised his hand to wave at the dignified and majestic woman: "Come and see what good things I brought you!"

Hong Chengdong: "......?"

More than ten minutes later.

"...Kukan Underground City?"

After hearing Chen Fan's explanation, Xu Huai's expression suddenly became wonderful: "In the future, all these underground city residents have to live in Varela City?"

Xu Huai took a deep breath: "That's really..."

"Well, this is also a helpless move. After all, the offensive of the intelligent machines is too fierce." Chen Fan hurriedly opened his mouth to clarify, "If you don't want to, you can temporarily open up a simple living place for these underground city residents, and wait until you find a suitable one in the future..."

"...That's great!"

After a long breath of turbid air, Xu Huai finished the words that were on his lips.

"...Ah?"

Now it was Chen Fan's turn to be stunned.

Great?

Did he hear it right?

This is more than 20,000 people!

Strictly speaking, this number exceeds the total population of Varela City.

There are huge differences in the living habits and ideas of both sides. The integration of the two will inevitably lead to various troubles.

Therefore, in Chen Fan's initial expectation, the Forest of Sighs area will be temporarily allocated to the residents of Kukan Underground City, and then relocated again after Varela City begins to expand, or after finding a more suitable ground city, so that there will not be too many conflicts between the two sides.

"Yes, that's great!"

Xu Huai nodded, and the worries that had been accumulated in her eyes instantly dissipated.

She simply explained her previous thoughts to Chen Fan.

Xu Huai's eyes flashed with a faint gleam: "Chen Fan, you should think so too, right?"

Chen Fan: "..."

Under Xu Huai's gaze, Chen Fan coughed lightly and touched the tip of his nose awkwardly: "In fact, I just accidentally turned these people's homes into dangerous houses."

Xu Huai's face froze: "..."

After a moment of silence, she turned stiffly and looked at the dusty underground city residents following Chen Fan: "In the name of the Pope of Varela City, I welcome you to live in Varela City."

...

The appearance of Chen Fan and Xu Huai instantly calmed the panic in the city.

Similar to the situation in Kukan Underground City.

Xu Huai and Chen Fan, who led these believers to overthrow the church and brought them a more comfortable life, undoubtedly have a very high prestige.

Therefore, after the two people's joint statement, especially after learning that the underground city residents had lost their homes, the natives of Varela City accepted the survivors of Kukan Underground City one after another.

But...

the good times did not last long.

After a short period of getting along, a sharp problem quickly emerged.

"Brother Fan, why does this Varela City feel a bit strange? What exactly is the goddess they are talking about?"

Not long after entering Varela City, Hong Chengdong finally couldn't suppress his confusion and asked Chen Fan.

Chen Fan coughed lightly and answered without any concealment: "In a sense, the goddess refers to the intelligent machine."

Looking at Hong Chengdong's rapidly enlarged pupils, Chen Fan briefly explained the current situation of Varela City.

After listening to Chen Fan's explanation, Hong Chengdong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This..."

He never thought that the seemingly peaceful Varela City actually hid such a deep history!

Having said that, Chen Fan no longer concealed it and simply told Hong Chengdong all of Xu Huai's thoughts.

Hong Chengdong thought for a moment and finally sighed: "I understand, don't worry, I will cooperate with Xu Huai... the Pope."

"Just think of it as the rent for living in this city."

...

After settling the residents of the Kukan Underground City, Chen Fan started the rest of the aftermath work.

One further improved the control authority of the central computer of the North Church. The more than 1,000 captured drones became the defense force of Varela City, greatly enhancing the security of Varela City.

Not only that, although there was a large-scale interruption in the inheritance of civilization, many survivors of the Kukan Underground City still mastered various basic technologies.

For example, conventional mechanical technology, electrical engineering technology...

Under the unified planning of One, these survivors from the Kukan Underground City quickly began to transform Varela City.

But in just a few days, Varela, which was still in the agricultural age, quickly entered the industrial age with the help of these survivors!
