Chapter 167 The Storm of Human Civilization

"Hello, friends. Today, the appraisers from our Ninth Branch have successfully identified a small amount of information about the anomaly in the sky."

"This strange phenomenon is suspected to be a kind of natural disaster 'demon', called Frost Mist."

Frost Mist, this name seems to imply its ability.

"Any identification result in Pangaea is of deep information."

“Even if it’s just a name, it has real meaning.”

Several officers in Yunhai City tapped the table with their fingers, thinking in their hearts, will the future focus of research be on glyphs related to temperature? On the screen, the spokesperson of the Ninth Branch, Digdit, continued: "Only by constantly eating people can the anomaly accumulate energy and become stronger quickly."

"Now it can't eat people, it can only slowly absorb the idealistic energy emitted by the city. The speed of its growth is acceptable..."

"But we can't delay it for too long. If it grows to a certain stage and undergoes some qualitative change, we will miss the opportunity."

"I propose that after five years, we all jointly open the safe zone and capture this anomaly together! Five years is enough time to recuperate and produce a large number of weapons and equipment."

In fact, the time we agreed on at the beginning was ten years, but now it has been brought forward to five years.

On the one hand, the emergence of glyph technology has indeed given everyone a lot of confidence.

The engraving of carvings requires materials. After five years, the supernatural materials accumulated in the city have been almost consumed, and the team's combat power has reached its peak.

No matter how long time passes, there will never be more of those non-renewable materials.

On the other hand, the pressure from the Rize people was quite great.

With foreign races as a comparison, humans are always unwilling to fall behind.

However, the suggestions made by the spokesperson of the Ninth Civilization are very good, but there are very few responses. After all, war will result in casualties, so who will fight?

Who will open the safe zone first and take the lead?

After being exposed, the "Frost Mist" floated over. What should we do? A single puff of air from someone could kill tens of thousands of people? How should we fight this war? What should we do if something unexpected happens?

Everything is unknown.

"Our ninth city, Zero Wave City, can take the lead in revoking the safe zone and fighting this anomaly."

"But I need fire support from all cities. I need a commitment from everyone. A single city has limited resources and cannot hold out for too long."

The conference room fell into silence for a long time.

Even Li Chunhong was somewhat surprised by the Ninth Civilization's aggressive decision.

Well, if there was a [monster] blocking the outside of Yunhai City, he wouldn’t know what to do.

Does Yunhai City really have the guts to fight head-on? He doesn't know.

The spokesperson for the Ninth City, Digdit, said sincerely: "If we, Zero Wave City, fight alone, we may not be able to defeat this vision."

"When all the people of Zero Wave City are eaten up, and it is allowed to eat tens of millions of people, how big will it grow?"

"Humanity will forever lose the chance to defeat it!!" He slammed the table heavily.

"We only have one chance. If we want to abolish the safe zone, we should do it together and fight together."

"This is the dignity of mankind, and also the glory of mankind!"

What Digdit said does make sense.

But cold death always triumphs over everything.

If the safe zone is not revoked, he can still live for three or four hundred years, but if he fights against the vision, he may die in an instant.

Among the 17 human branches, there are only a few cities that have great ambitions.

"Mr. Digdit, the promise you are asking for is too big." Li Chunhong of Yunhai City perked up for a moment, "It is actually difficult for us to plan for the future five years from now. The production of weapons, the training of talents, and especially the research of glyphs are full of unknowns."

“The current research is indeed going well, but it is hard to say what the future will be like.”

"Many cities, in particular, are still in a state of chaos. It is uncertain whether they will be able to contribute in five years."

"Of course, if everything goes well, we in Yunhai City will support this action."

"After five years, our resources will basically be transformed into combat power. If we delay it for too long, without resources, it will just be a waste of time."

With the support of a relatively strong city, Digdit was able to slightly alleviate the embarrassment of no response.

"We in Togane City also support this action!!"

Unexpectedly, the representative of Dongjin City also spoke up: "This is the glory of all mankind! If we can defeat a vision, we will have the capital to settle down."

Li Chunhong couldn't help but glance at the screen of branch 11.

The emperor of Togane City still had a blank expression on his face, as if he was asleep.

This old man always looks indifferent no matter what happens.

After thinking about it carefully, I understood.

"The first possibility is that these guys' gambling nature has kicked in."

"The second possibility is that they want to surrender and become Runren... but their status will be lost after they become Runren."

"If I can gain some credit in the battle, it can be used as a political bargaining chip in the future."

You know, the safe zone is not absolutely safe.

There are always some visionary abilities that can project beyond the safety zone.

Like dream abilities, mental abilities, and the "blood coming out of the soil" and "cat-faced old lady" recorded by the Meda civilization...

Without the extraordinary fire, it cannot be upgraded and the ability to resist disasters is seriously insufficient.

Even if Dongjin City hides in a safe zone, there is no confidence that they can survive.

"These guys are cunning..."

Apart from this, no other city has expressed its position.

Even the city of New York, which is full of talented people, only had an ambiguous attitude and said a few good words.

If they really had to go, they wouldn't dare to do it.

And those mining cities did not speak either.

In particular, the city of Sini, which owns the "Pandora's Crystal", and the city of Babylon, which has abundant oil resources, did not make any statement and did not even dare to say anything ambiguous.

Yes, although the earth's crust was greatly damaged when the city was moved, the city of Babylon still has a lot of oil resources.

The mineral output of these two cities is the most important material basis for building the sky city.

With Pandora's crystal, one can build an extremely large floating ship that can transport hundreds of thousands of people at a time.

Moving a city is not a problem.

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

But they have no will to fight, which is very troublesome.

In fact, the spokespersons of these cities also knew that this was indeed a good opportunity for a decisive battle, but how could they speak up when they couldn’t even solve the chaos in their cities?

…

The meeting ended in silence and unpleasantly.

Many military officers in Yunhai City were somewhat angry, and had a strong feeling that "humanity is doomed".

Li Chunhong shook his head: "Forget it, they just want to pick peaches."

"If we win, they will definitely come out again."

"If we lose the war, they will be cowards for the rest of their lives and be local emperors for three hundred years."

"That's really clever...ah."

"Pandora's crystal is not a very rare thing. It must exist in Pangu Continent. If it doesn't work, we can find it ourselves!" Several officers said angrily, "Anyway, after leaving the safe zone, the time ratio has been restored. We have plenty of time to develop."

"Once we build the city in the sky, do we have to share it with them?"

Another officer scoffed, "How can we not share? A large group of people are starving to death. What do you think we should do? Can we just watch them die?"

This may sound a bit naive, but the excessive human rights issues seem to be a problem.

After all, Yunhai City has not experienced large-scale deaths and disasters, and many beliefs have not been shattered.

"Oh, don't say those angry words. We'll think about these things later." Li Chunhong consoled him, "Politics is the product of compromise. If we develop behind closed doors, we will only consume our own costs."

"We must maintain our industrial capabilities and continue to make technological progress... What's wrong with Xini City having mines? Without industry, the future will naturally depend on us!"

"Industry, talent and technology are the future!"

"So what about an arms race? If others produce one plane, we produce ten!"

…

The ninth branch of humanity, Zero Wave City.

The atmosphere in the room was not pleasant, as if a cold wind from Siberia was blowing in from the window, bringing a freezing chill.

Most cities rejected this cooperation and were unwilling to give even a vague promise.

Digdit shook the cigar in his hand and whispered, "Comrades, you see! I gave them a chance, but now they choose to be cowards and deserters."

"They are traitors to humanity!"

"Our cities represent human civilization, standing on Pangaea, competing with hundreds of millions of intelligent races."

"And they were only thinking about saving their own lives."

"When our dignity, territory and living space are being trampled upon, they are still escaping."

"There's no other way. I'm going to 'control' those damn cowards and make them strong!"

He changed the subject and lowered his voice: "Professor Heinrich, how is the research on spreading superpowers through the communicator going?"

The bald white-haired professor nodded: "The research is going well and we will be able to crack it soon. But if the other party turns off this function, we can't force it to open."

Digdit said: "By default, it should be on, right?"

"Yes, there is no doubt about that... During the last attack by the Demon, all the cities were irradiated by its power."

"Moreover, the communication between glyphs also requires this function to be enabled."

"The ability to radiate past may only be one tenth to one twentieth of the original... So, it may be necessary..."

"As long as we control the majority of city leaders, the problem can be solved!" Digdit's eyes emitted a faint red light, and he walked out of the meeting room with a determined face, "Prepare more death row prisoners for me!"

"Sir, there are no more death row inmates."

"Execute all rapists. Our civilization does not need such scum."

"yes!"
