Chapter 33 Human Civilization Searches for Lu Yuan
When he thought of the metal ball, Lu Yuan decided to take action and cleared out the lizard meat in his storage space.
He soaked a ton of tenderloin in water and washed it briefly. Perhaps due to some idealistic elements, the flesh and blood of extraordinary life decayed much slower than ordinary food. His storage space had a slow flow of time and had the ability to preserve freshness. Fresh food always tasted better than dried food.
"Old wolf, please stay at home and don't run around."
"I'll be back soon."
When we returned to the Salamander Canyon once again, we found that there was only a skeleton left. In just seven days, the flesh and internal organs of the salamander had all been eaten by wild animals.
In the end, only a swarm of flies was left flying around the bones.
There were traces of fighting on the surrounding rocks, and all kinds of blood were splattered all over the ground.
Nature is so cruel. No matter how powerful you were when you were alive, you will be nothing after you die... Any toxins, after being diluted, there will always be animals that can withstand them.
Lu Yuan sighed lightly and ignored the pile of remains.
Instead, he entered the lizard cave and put the big ball into the storage space.
When I go home, I also want to search for some medical supplies to help the old wolf recover from his wounds quickly, or to use them when I am sick.
But my luck was bad and I got nothing.
The medical supplies that remain are extremely scarce.
He only picked up some mushrooms, some herbs, and a pepper-like plant on the roadside.
[The Coprinus comatus is a mushroom that is probably non-toxic and tastes like a chicken drumstick. ]
[Danshen, with its seeds and roots as medicine, contains tanshinone, which is a tonic and menstrual emmenagogue with the effects of removing blood stasis, promoting new blood circulation, activating blood circulation, and regulating menstruation.]
[A plant that looks like a chili pepper. It is spicy, non-toxic, and not very popular with animals. The spiciness is about 4,000 Scoville units.]
When Lu Yuan saw these finger-sized green fruits, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Good stuff! We have the seasoning for stir-frying lizard meat!"
"Let's go back and try the metal sphere to see if we can contact humans!"
…
…
…
Safe zone, the first branch of human civilization, Yunhai City, and the Center for Supernatural Research.
The original information exchange meeting lasted about an hour.
Now something unexpected has happened and we have to extend the period for a while.
After the initial shock, many smart minds came up with some possible explanations.
"First, the creature is indeed a human, but for some reason, it left the safe zone alone."
"He happened to find the 'civilization management device' of another civilization... that is, the Meda civilization, so he couldn't wait to contact us..."
"But the communicator on his end was damaged. The screen wouldn't light up, and there was no sound. As a result, he didn't even realize that he had been contacted."
Well, how slim is the chance for this to happen? Can one really survive in Pangu Continent alone?
Moreover, the ratio of time passing in the outside world to that in the safe zone is 100:1!
One day in the safe zone equals 100 days in the outside world! Even for the top special forces, it would be very difficult to live alone in the primeval forest of the earth for 100 days! Also, why does the Meda civilization also have this metal sphere? Does every civilization have one?
But no matter what, it is indeed a reasonable explanation.
Li Chunhong, the top leader of Yunhai City, rubbed his temples in annoyance.
He always felt that his nerves had become unusually strong, and he could accept any inexplicable things - this was just a change in just one day, no, the next day!
Perhaps, everyone is changing at the fastest speed.
If you don’t change, you won’t survive!
"Oh, there is a second reason. All civilizations in the outside world look like humans."
"Maybe the language everyone speaks is the language on Earth? Like Chinese, English, Arabic, and we just happened to meet someone who speaks Chinese?"
It is indeed possible.
After all, the reason for the emergence of Pangu Continent is unknown...
We have never seen so many alien civilizations participating in the screening.
Maybe all civilizations are just parallel worlds to Earth?
It turns out that leaders of major cities are still considering whether to destroy the "civilization management device."
Now that images suspected to be human have suddenly appeared, after careful consideration, they have decided not to destroy them for the time being.
After all, there is still a possibility of contact in the future. Any effective information is a huge asset to mankind and can directly increase the chance of survival.
Because the situation in each city was chaotic and the leaders of each city still had a lot of things to do, after reaching this conclusion, the meeting ended anticlimactically. Everyone agreed to share information with each other again after they had intelligence.
But the undercurrents in private have affected many, many people.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
…
As the communication link was disconnected, Professor Zhang Hui said worriedly: "Leaders, the facial recognition data has been checked. We can confirm that it is a young man named Lu Yuan in Yunhai City."
"Should we disclose this to the international...er, various branches of civilization?"
"I think it's better not to make it public." An old leader who was over 60 years old pondered for a moment and said, "Even if he is really from our Yunhai City, isn't it too conspicuous to make it public?"
Li Chunhong said: "Even if we don't make it public, other cities will still privately suspect that he is from our Yunhai City, or at least from our Dadong Country."
"Besides, each city is 10,000 kilometers apart. Before leaving the safe zone, we can only make phone calls. What's wrong with being more conspicuous?"
The old comrade's face wrinkled. "You mean...just make it public?"
Li Chunhong lowered his voice: "This is actually a big political bargaining chip..."
Information is of great value.
Although there were 17 cities involved, the first information exchange meeting was a joyful and harmonious one.
But you have to know that information, as a valuable asset, cannot be shared for free for a long time.
I have developed supernatural technology, but you don't. Should I share it with you for free?
You can tell with your toes that it’s impossible!
In the end, it will definitely turn into a one-on-one private transaction between the two cities.
And this "Lu Yuan" who escaped from the safe zone and entered the Pangu Continent is a very important bargaining chip...
At least it can make other cities feel a sense of mystery about Yunhai City.
During the transaction, the other cities will give in slightly, so Yunhai City will be in a long-term advantageous position.
The old leader who had kept a low profile all his life fell silent. He admitted that what Li Chunhong said made some sense...
In the current situation, keeping a low profile doesn't make much sense, and being open is more valuable.
And the words “fellow human beings” have some weight, but they are not enough.
Yunhai City can indeed only trust other human cities to a limited extent, and cannot give everything without reservation.
I believe other cities think the same way.
17 cities are already 17 different civilizations, and no one knows whether there will be competition in the future.
"It's a prisoner's dilemma..." The old leader sighed softly.
