Chapter 18: A cross-era wait!
Perhaps because of the footsteps, the pretty figure slowly turned around and stared at Ye Chen. Her watery eyes were filled with sadness and tenderness, and she whispered, "You're here?"
Ye Chen's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but look away, not looking directly at her. After a moment, he said calmly: "I guess you are going to hunt monsters on a large scale, and you may be short of energy. With the speed of the light energy converter in the city of Atlantis, it is far from enough to replenish the large amount of consumption, so..."
"You want to sell me energy?" Murong Xue revealed Ye Chen's motive for coming here in one sentence, with a hint of bitterness on the corners of her mouth.
Ye Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "It's not selling, it's exchanging."
Murong Xue paused for a moment, raised her eyes, looked at the man carefully, and said softly, "What do you want?"
Ye Chen glanced at her and said, "Next time you get something precious, just give me the first choice."
This request seems unreasonable...
However, Murong Xue's eyes seemed to light up slightly, and a gentleness like water gradually emerged from her eyes, making the air around her seem a bit dreamy, and she said softly: "Okay!"
Ye Chen avoided her gaze and opened the Fire Civilization Space with a wave of his hand. He reached into the space and took out an exquisite platinum ring. He threw it to Murong Xue and said calmly, "The energy you need is placed inside. There is a relic space attached to this ring. As long as you communicate with your consciousness, it can be opened."
Murong Xue took the ring and was slightly startled. Then her pretty face flushed red. After hearing Ye Chen's words, she nodded gently. She clenched the ring tightly with her hand, her heart pounding. It was difficult to carry a huge amount of energy crystals, so they used a small relic space to store them? She could understand that, but why did they attach the connection point to the ring...
What is it implying?
She secretly looked up at Ye Chen and found that he was tilting his head to look at the pool beside him. She couldn't help but frowned slightly, and the blush on her face faded. She regained her calmness as she commanded thousands of troops. She took a deep breath and nodded, "Thank you! I will send the relic space to Guangming Base City after I take out the energy crystal."
Ye Chen was distracted for a while, but when he heard the words, he came back to his senses and waved his hand, saying, "No need. It's just a small relic space, not worth much."
Murong Xue was slightly startled, and then a hint of hidden joy appeared in her eyes. Before she could speak, she saw Ye Chen turned around and said, "I'm leaving first." After that, he left the palace directly.
Murong Xue hesitated to speak, and finally looked at Ye Chen's departing back, stunned and speechless. Not long after, Hua Bu Luo came to the palace, glanced at Murong Xue, and said calmly: "What is Ye Chen doing here? Seeking an alliance with Huaxia Base City?"
Murong Xue shook her head slightly and said, "He came to give some energy crystals."
Hua Bu Luo was startled, then frowned and said, "Give it as a gift? He is a person who refuses to suffer any loss, so he must have some request, right?"
Murong Xue laughed at herself and said, "Request? That's right, he asked for priority in choosing any good things from Huaxia Base City. I agreed."
Hua Bu Luo frowned, his expression darkened, and he said, "Although I know Ye Chen and you are old acquaintances, you should not be sentimental when it comes to interests. This request is too rude. Why should he choose first what we get? Although it is just a right of choice, we can't always eat what others have left!"
Murong Xue glanced at him, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Do you think that with his ability, what he can get will be worse than ours? He is a cold-hearted person. He doesn't like to owe others favors, nor does he like others to owe him favors, so he made this request that has no practical use. Besides, don't you think it's strange that he can turn on the superman mode?"
Hua Bu Luo thought about Ye Chen's style of doing things all along, and could only agree with Murong Xue's words in his heart, but he was still a little bit unwilling to accept it... especially the tenderness in Murong Xue's eyes, which deeply hurt his heart!
However, he was still calm after all. He frowned when he heard the last sentence and asked, "What do you mean?"
Murong Xue's voice was calm, with a bit of loneliness on her beautiful face, saying: "From what I know, the superhuman mode only appeared after the Atlantis civilization, using the Atlantis civilization's gene segmentation and planting technology. However, the Atlantis civilization has always been in the hands of our Huaxia Base City. When all the generals participated in the internal gene fusion experiment, Ye Chen was not there! Later, he fell out with the Base City and never had a chance. So, either he got this technology from other relics, or he secretly knew Elvy!"
Hua Bu Luo was startled and said, "No way?"
Murong Xue said nothing more and turned away, leaving Hua Bu Luo alone, with thoughts swirling in his mind. He deeply understood the deep meaning of these words...
…
Ye Chen flew over the Huaxia Base City. There was a cheer along the way below, and countless people were shouting his name. Ye Chen did not look back, but left and returned to the Guangming Base City.
We still need to give some support to the Huaxia Base City, otherwise such a large population will become a burden after the Ice Age, and may even cause the Huaxia Base City to fall into a rebellious riot. In this way, one of the ten most powerful base cities in the world in the future will be destroyed, and it will only be a monster that gets taken advantage of in vain!
Moreover, giving timely assistance is far better than adding icing on the cake. He believed that Murong Xue would remember this favor, and it would be more convenient for them to cooperate in the future.
In the next few days, Ye Chen practiced in the base city to consolidate his strength.
March 25th, Dark Calendar Year 1!
The glaciers melted completely, and a huge wave rose up on the entire sea level, rolling in and covering all the islands. In fact, when the virus broke out, all the island countries no longer existed, and most of them were destroyed by the mutated monsters in the sea!
An unprecedented disaster swept the world!
The Russian region was the first to be hit by the surging sea water. The continental plates sank into the sea water, the protective fences in the coastal areas were washed away by the sea water, and many water monsters rode the sea water to swim towards the mainland!
“Emergency! Emergency!”
The broadcasting room in Guangming Base City was in a mess. Everyone was like ants on a hot pot, and they quickly released the information in their hands with a bit of tension and fear.
"A flood is coming. All personnel please evacuate to the ruins quickly! According to expert statistics, with the speed of the flood, it will arrive in 4 hours and 45 minutes and reach the Chinese area. Everyone please evacuate quickly!!!"
"Emergency notice, all personnel please obey the orders of the base city soldiers and do not disrupt order!"
Hysterical roars rang out from the loudspeakers, and the entire Guangming Base City was silent. After the migration in the past few days, everyone moved into the Ancient Martial Civilization, settled down there, and got the allocated houses. However, there were still many figures moving around in the base city, all of them were hunters who came back from hunting monsters nearby.
After hearing the broadcast, all the hunters' expressions changed drastically. Some of them panicked and hurriedly carried the monster corpses on their shoulders, running desperately towards the entrance of the ancient martial arts civilization ruins!
“Emergency! Emergency!”
"The Ancient Martial Civilization will be closed in three hours, all personnel please return in time!"
The broadcast kept repeating that it was counting down the time for the ancient martial arts civilization to close. Those who had received the notice in the past few days were all hunting monsters nearby. When they heard the honking of dozens of loud speakers in the city, they felt that something was wrong and evacuated.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Outside the base city, the original golden rice fields disappeared, replaced by a desert. Only in the outermost area, there were still thousands of acres of rice fields that had not been harvested. However, a large number of people gathered in that field, harvesting rice frantically without even time to breathe.
Huang Tianci was stationed nearby. He calculated the time silently and felt that he should still have time.
Ye Chen walked out of the ruins and stood on the city wall of the base city, looking down. The entire base city was deserted, bleak and desolate, the sky was dim and vast.
The fierce wind blew his clothes, making them rustle.
"This day has finally come..." Ye Chen's face showed no joy or sadness. He looked at the end of the world and remained silent.
Under the coordinated management of Xu Tianguo, Bai Long and others, the base city had made preparations early on, so it did not seem too hurried. Everyone entered the ancient martial arts ruins in order and waited quietly inside.
Compared to the Bright Base City, the three base cities in Russia and the Blue Mountain Guild are already extremely anxious. Once the Arctic glaciers melt, they will be the first to suffer! ~
“Hurry, hurry, hurry!!!”
"Everyone enter the City of Angels! Speed, damn speed!"
"Countdown to the Great Flood, 1 hour (minutes)!"
"Quickly retreat, quickly retreat!!!"
Despite being well prepared, the entire base city was still in a panic. The loudspeakers emitted a shrill roar, and the traffic order in the city was in chaos. Everyone was carrying quilts, food, clothes, and running towards the city center with their families, causing the traffic to become even more congested.
All people were running around in the city like ants. All kinds of roars, screams, cries of pain, and shouts echoed throughout the city.
At the Blue Mountain Guild headquarters, Toswasin looked gloomy, and said to the charming woman beside him in a deep voice: "Have all the people moved to the superpower civilization city?"
The seductive woman nodded and said, "They have all gone in, except for the last group of people who are transporting the food."
Toswasin ordered: "Send someone over immediately to speed up the transportation. Time is running out. It is still unknown whether the countdown time for the flood is accurate."
The seductive woman quickly turned around and reported.
Tuoswasin looked at the chaotic streets in the city and thought to himself that it was a good thing that he had listened to Ye Chen and acted decisively to migrate the population into the ruins in advance, otherwise it would be in such a panic now.
“Ah, ah…”
"Mother……"
In the chaotic streets, people were stumbling, and as the countdown bell rang, everyone seemed to be urged by the devil, becoming crazy and irrational.
"Ten more minutes!" Tuoswasin stood on the city wall, as if he heard the sound of the sky collapsing and the earth splitting, and the sound of a flood that was collapsing the whole world. He looked solemn, turned around and walked into the super-power civilization city with a group of his confidants.
Closing the space connection point is like isolating the whole world.
