Chapter 982 What are you laughing at? I am an Earthling!

Lu Yao was thinking in his heart.

If I remember correctly, the concept of the earth is a modern one.

The closest template to the Tin Man with a Glass Head in human history should be the stitched corpse monster in Mary Shelley's original science fiction novel "Frankenstein".

But no matter how you look at Zila's iron body, it has nothing to do with human flesh and blood.

Lu Yao made a special trip to visit him and gave him a box of World Stones as a gift.

Sure enough, the other party invited him in because of the gift.

"Mr. Zila, I heard that you claim to be from Earth?"

"Yes. I am a pure Earthling. My hometown is a beautiful and colorful world, much more beautiful than here." The Tin Man is usually taciturn, but his pride is evident when he talks about his hometown.

"Is Earth the name of your place?"

"Yes, I am from Earth. Our place is Earth. This is easy to understand, right?"

"But where did the word 'Earth' come from? Are you really sure you are from Earth?" Lu Yao couldn't help laughing for a moment.

"What are you laughing at? I am from Earth! Earth is Earth, my friend. Jokes about hometown are not funny! Please stop saying such things, or please leave!"

On the rusty head of the Glasshead Iron Man, the areas around his two iron ball eyes were red, and smoke was coming out of his head, making him look angry.

"Sorry, no offense." Lu Yao regained his serious face: "I mean, do the locals call your world Earth?"

"That's right."

The other party is very sure.

At this time, Dian Zhenxing's voice came to Lu Yao's ears.

"Sir, the disaster area will be synchronized through the signal layer, so many names will be merged and converted. It's like the same world has different names in the mouths of different individuals, but after being recognized by the signal layer, it will be unified into a signal name that is easy to understand. The name of the world you mentioned is the name that Zila is familiar with."

After Takumi's explanation, Lu Yao suddenly came back to his senses.

The simulator also has this translation function, but I forgot about it.

mine.

However, the problem is that Jie Xidi judged at the signal level that the hometown described by Zila is the Earth, which makes Lu Yao feel very puzzled.

“Can you tell me the story of that Earth?”

"Yes, we Earthlings live on Earth all year round. Although we have disputes, conflicts and fights with each other, and sometimes people die as a result, but overall, it is a good place."

The words "we Earthlings" coming out of the mouth of a tin wine glass head really made Lu Yao feel a little weird.

Zira continued, "We live in the center of the world. All the people on Earth live there. We were born from the center of the world, slowly awakening from the solid and powerful core of life, which is the core of the earth. Then we entered the red warm ocean outside from the rotating cradle, where everyone was finally able to break free from the swaddling clothes of the core and move on their own."

"After entering the ocean, Earthlings were truly born. We can swim around in it, or sink into the sea. Earthlings spend most of their time enjoying the ocean bathing area. It's really comfortable there. Many years have passed, and I miss it very much."

A dim light appeared in Zila's iron-ball-like eyes.

"There is no difference between the earthlings in the ocean, but as we grow up, we need to live independently and move further out into the colder regions. That is the outer core, where only adult earthlings can survive. There is no ocean there, and our bodies will solidify. When we grow up, we will have to walk with difficulty."

"The outer core area is cold and dangerous, but there are also things that adults need, that is, soil and stones containing special rare elements. Adults need to obtain those rare elements to maintain their changes."

Lu Yao had understood by now.

Zila is a person living in the center of the earth, so it is indeed correct to call him an Earthling.

Lu Yao asked it: "Do we have to leave the core? I mean, if we need rare elements, we can go out together to collect them, and then return to the warm core, right?"

"no."

Zila twisted her body and made a creaking sound. "When an Earthling grows up, he no longer wants to be indistinguishable from others. We can't stay in the same cradle forever. People always grow up, and when they grow up, they will desire more things, more things they have never seen, and a larger space. The key is to distinguish others from themselves, so they need to integrate rare elements. This excites us Earthlings."

"But if you go too far from the core, it will be difficult to move. If you completely lose the ability to move, you will become a cold corpse and your self-consciousness will be destroyed."

Zira said in a serious tone: "Until one time, the core of the earth shook and twisted violently, and the outer core collapsed and shattered on a large scale. The shaking was so terrifying that it seemed like the end of the world."

"Many people were very scared at that time, especially the children."

"So it's our responsibility as adults to check on the situation outside. If the situation gets worse, all adults will have to return to their childhood and give up on themselves."

“I am one of those people who left home to explore.”

Zila recalled: "I used my head to push through the rocks and layers in the crack and went outside. The closer I got to the outside, the colder it got, making it harder and harder to move."

"When I passed a certain area, I found it was very warm, and that was also the center of the most intense vibration."

"I climbed up along the crack that led to the place and reached the outermost part of the world. Beyond that was the empty sky. Under my feet, there was a huge pit. The earth seemed to have been bitten. A lot of rocks, iron and other sand and gravel flew into the sky... I came to the most dangerous outer world."

Lu Yao and the wine glass man had a detailed discussion about the outside world.

The situation it describes is basically the same as that on Earth. At that time, there were no animals, only oceans and land, with some basic and simple life similar to algae and moss.

"It's very, very cold outside. A lot of Earthlings have frozen to death. My place is the only warm and survivable area. I went to rescue other Earthlings nearby and carried them over."

Zira said: "But while I was busy, I didn't realize that the giant pit was also cooling down rapidly. Its solidification blocked all the gaps, and the passage into the ground was buried and sinking. When I came to my senses, I found myself in a desperate situation. All I could do was look for the nearest volcano, hoping to find a new warm area."

"It was snowing heavily outside, blocking all the mountains. I could hardly move. Using the last bit of strength left in my body, I finally returned to the pit. At that time, I thought I was dead. Like other people on Earth, my body would completely solidify into a block of iron, and then sink into the ground after many years and return to the core of the earth."

"Luckily, I found a strange substance in that pit that I had never seen before. It is difficult for me to describe what it is. It was dissipating rapidly, but it formed a path. I walked along that path into an unfamiliar place. Later I realized that I had been reduced in dimension and entered the virtual universe from the dying real universe."

Hearing this, Lu Yao couldn't help but ask curiously, "Did a monster really appear on the Earth that was bitten? Or was it caused by an impact and shattering by something?"

"It was a collision."

Zira said firmly: "Another much smaller Earth collided with our Earth, causing a huge drop in temperature. As a result, the people on Earth were exposed to the extreme cold and continued to die. It was a tragic end of the world."

The impact of the asteroid had caused a devastating blow to the entire world, causing the people outside the Earth's core to be unable to sense the Earth's core and find a way to enter it, thus becoming just an ordinary piece of iron.

"After the dimensionality reduction, I landed on a white columnar island next to the boundary wall. That small island remained almost motionless. The only place I could move was that void island. I moved carefully, collecting all the useful materials nearby. It was also very cold over there, but strangely, although the movement was slow, it would not make me fall asleep or die."

Zila's eyeballs slowly drooped. "I have been there the whole time and never met anyone. I only saw a lot of debris flying into the sky, and many destroyed worlds exploding and falling into the boundary wall. Only in the place where I am, no one cares, and no one passes by."

"There, I remodeled my head and put everything I could find into my brain. That's when I learned to talk to myself, because otherwise I would gradually become unwilling to move."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

It pointed to the head of its wine glass and said, "Although the contents are all junk in the eyes of others, I cherish them very much. Every time I pick up something new, I will be happy for a while."

Lu Yao understood.

After Zila's dimensionality reduction, he landed directly on the ruins of the Xirang Sea, which could be said to be a deadly start.

Lu Yao asked: "How did you get in?"

"The island I lived on collapsed."

Zila suddenly laughed: "Damn it, good job, good job. Then I fell into the boundary wall. I thought I was going to die, but I was sucked into this place."

"I envy you guys. You can go home after you finish your work. What about me? If I go back, even that island won't be there. It's even more impossible to return to Earth, because the Disaster Land can only send me back the way I came. I'm different from you guys."

Lu Yao's heart moved: "What if I say I can help you? At least go back to Earth and take a look."

"Don't joke around buddy, this isn't funny, I told you."

Zila turned his head away, seemingly not wanting to discuss this.

Lu Yao emphasized: "I am serious, because I am also from Earth."

The other person's body stiffened, and he turned his glass head sharply: "Do you think I'm easy to fool? You don't look like an Earthling at all! There is no Earthling like you!"

Lu Yao felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.

At this time, a voice intervened in the conversation.

"Zila, the one standing before you is the noble and great ruler of the Yao Clan, the master of natural disasters, the pioneer of the Silver Plains, and the supreme Lord Yao. Watch your attitude, Lord Yao has no time to joke with you."

The Tin Man was stunned: "Yao... God Yao?"

"Don't make this public."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "I am also curious about the situation here, so I came here to participate in the frontline labor and see how everyone is living."

Zila said, "I didn't expect a big shot like you to come in person... Tell me, are you really from Earth? I mean, how did the Earthlings become like this now?"

Lu Yao’s smile froze.

What do you mean by "become like this"? As if realizing something was wrong, Zila quickly changed the subject: "No, I mean, the people on Earth have changed a lot."

Lu Yao told it the history of the development of the earth.

“…”

It took Zila a long time to slowly accept the changes on Earth: "So you are a new Earthling living on the surface, and we are old Earthlings. But you also said that after a complete dimensionality reduction, it is impossible to increase the dimension, right?"

"Of course. But at least going back to take a look is better than not being able to go back at all, right?"

Lu Yao was still thinking about it.

When the time is right, Zila can be handed over to the committee. Discovering a suspected prehistoric human being should be considered a third-class merit, right? Maybe we can even contact the current people in the center of the earth through Zila.

"Yes! You are right! Thank you for your help." Zira suddenly became happy and her body turned slightly red.

"To express my gratitude, I will give you the little savings I have accumulated over the years."

Lu Yao wanted to say don’t be so polite.

But when he heard the number Zila reported, his eyes suddenly widened.

"How many?"

"There are about 132 million gear teeth. I won't need many of them when I go back, and the extra ones are useless. I'm not interested in those weird abilities, and I don't like fighting, so I'll give them all to you."

Lu Yao was shocked.

This eccentric and weird Glasshead is actually a silent asset tycoon!
