Chapter 451: Shadow of Failure in War

So-called blood brothers and sisters, the difference is really huge.

Nowadays, some people formed their own team and built a city... If you didn't see it with your own eyes, no one would believe it.

Some people were completely converted.

But there are also people who have a sense of brotherhood…and who can tell?

Human nature itself is very complex, and many things are just a matter of one thought.

“No matter how great the difficulties are, we must expand the united front, make more friends and fewer enemies.”

Li Chunhong was lost in thought when suddenly his cell phone rang.

Professor Zhang Hui's voice came from the Supernatural Laboratory: "Mr. Li, the Lize civilization has called to request a communication! Representatives from other human cities are also online, and it seems that they have something important to discuss."

He perked up: "Okay, I'll come right away!"

…

An important meeting appeared in the communicator between humans and Rize civilization.

As all the delegates came online, the lizardmen solemnly announced the resolution reached through internal discussions on the screen: "Hello, honorable human civilization. We have made an important decision!"

"Under the premise that there are no major changes, all of our Rize cities will collectively open the safe zone in the second half of the year and build their own sky city!"

“We’ve been planning this for a long time, and it’s time to start a new journey.”

"...(some polite government documents)"

(*applaud)

With a comparison object, humans couldn't help but fall into a unique silence.

Lizardmen...are far ahead of humans! "Aren't you going to continue observing for a while?" Professor Dimo ​​of Old Delhi stroked his beard in front of the screen. "It's only been two hundred years since the outside world came into being. There's no need to be in such a hurry, right?"

The governor of the eighth branch of the Rize civilization, Leon, performed a ceremony: "Human friends, I have the ability to predict the future and can sense some mysterious information..."

"I think now is a good time for peace in general, the visions have not yet grown, and the clash of civilizations is not intense."

“Everything is changing.”

"Compared to previous eras, the Ninth Era may be shorter in lifespan."

“Time is precious and opportunities are scarce.”

"I, Wenming, and Mr. Lu Yuan have completed some transactions, and the extraordinary resources are not so scarce, so in the second half of the year we will climb to the universal level 2, and we can also train a few level 4 masters."

"We have a large number of craftsmen in our civilization, and our army is ready. The time is ripe and we can't wait any longer."

Other Rize people all agreed that this was where the Rize civilization was superior to humans.

When Lu Yuan was doing business with the Shumiba civilization, the Lize civilization happened to be nearby.

These lizards took advantage of the situation and made a lot of money just from selling "Sealing Resin", which they exchanged for consumables and materials to enhance their strength.

As for humans... we don't have such opportunities, we are extremely poor, and can only envy and be jealous in secret.

Governor Leon added: "The construction of a large sky city requires a lot of steel and cement. It may take fifty years to complete this task."

"We have already made specific division of labor and worker training."

"After we finish building the city, we will officially set off to find our own opportunity."

"Which direction are you going?" Professor Edward from Newyue City asked, "The same direction as Mr. Lu?"

"This... has not been decided yet... We have to wait until the city is built."

"But generally speaking, we don't have to go in the same direction. The opportunities in that direction have already been picked up..."

It can be seen that the Rize civilization is still somewhat ambitious and is unwilling to follow behind Green City.

Moreover, the distance between the two sides is very far, and it is unknown how long it will take to catch up. "Oh, by the way, we have built a small floating fortress. The previous test voyages have been successful... I believe these floating fortresses can help us resist the crisis."

The lizard people also sent a video specially.

That floating fortress is actually a modified version of the Dalai Empire's spaceship.

There were a total of four spaceships left by the Dalai Empire. Lu Yuan moved one away, and they still had three left!

Two years later, it is now fully armed, with various gun barrels emitting a dark metallic luster, intercontinental missiles, medium- and long-range missiles, nuclear weapons, various drones, laser weapons, and so on.

It is simply a fully functional aerospace aircraft carrier!

This scene left all humans stunned... If they had such a thing at home, they would have already started a war with the [monsters] outside!

The lizards were also very confident, and they all had smiles on their faces.

Another lizardman leaned forward and crossed his arms over his chest: "Human friends, we need to destroy the communicator before leaving this safe zone. Therefore, for communications six months from now, we can only rely on the dream ability of the poppy tree provided by Mr. Lu Yuan."

“It may not be that convenient, but having a means of communication is better than having no means of communication at all.”

"I also hope that our friendship will last forever..."

The humans immediately understood what was going on. It turned out that the people of Rize wanted to contact Lu Yuan to report the situation at home...

After all, we are friendly allies, and this friendship cannot be interrupted rashly.

However, this kind of ultra-long-distance communication might consume the Poppy Tree's spiritual energy, so the Lizardmen were too embarrassed to do so and simply dragged humans along.

"We can indeed get in touch with Yunhai City. Do we need to contact them now?" Li Chunhong asked.

"No, no, no, there's no need to be so anxious!"

"We still need half a year to prepare, and now we're just letting everyone know in advance!" the lizard man said quickly.

He performed a unique ritual: "There is nothing else to do. I wish my human friends to overcome the vision outside."

“Let us survive forever and prosper forever in this difficult world!”

The brief meeting ended like this.

The lizard people are cautiously looking forward to the confusing future. It takes a lot of courage to take this step.

The humans, on the other hand, were slightly stimulated.

There is a fork in the road of destiny ahead.

The civilization hiding in the safe zone and the civilization leaving the safe zone will have completely different fates.

The Rize civilization, which was originally technologically weaker than them, actually opened the safe zone earlier than them, which made everyone feel a little subtle nervous.

Once you fall behind, you may fall behind forever.

…

"Look, everyone else knows how to unite and fight, but we are all scattered!"

The ruler of the eighth branch, Zero Wave City, Digdit, convened an emergency internal meeting.

His hair stood on end with rage, his pupils flashing red, and he yelled into the communicator: "You are such a bunch of rubbish!"

"It's been two years and we've only completed this little bit of work!"

"If you were not still of some use, I would order you to shoot yourself immediately!"

"Are we no better than a bunch of lizards? You are a pile of crotch shit!!"

On the screen, a group of government officials, experts and scholars from other cities stood in front of the communicator, trembling, saying nothing, allowing him to humiliate them.

In the past two years, Digdit has used the communicator to control 10 cities, nearly 500 government officials, military commanders and gang leaders with his ability to "control"! This is a huge political force!

They obeyed orders completely.

Of course, there are also a few cities that have turned off the communicator's "transmitting superpowers" function in advance, so there is no way to control it.

Ten cities are actually quite a lot, there are resource cities, industrial cities, and... populous cities! The total population is nearly 60 million!

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

After Digdit vented his anger, he regained his composure and snorted coldly: "Thank me!"

"If I hadn't forcibly controlled you, humans might never have been able to unite and would have been trapped in the safe zone forever!"

"The leader is wise!" The people below responded in unison, shouting very loudly.

"You still have a chance now. Get things done right away, and you'll have a chance to survive."

Digdit changed the subject: "Yamamoto, is your super fortress ready? That thing is very important! We can't lose to the floating fortress of the Rize civilization!"

"Hey!" The chief of Dongjin City could not help but bow and nod his head hurriedly, "Smith Marseille! It will take some time."

Digdit said, "Don't let me hear your hypocritical apology. I just want to know when we can be ready for battle? That [monster] is getting stronger every day!"

"I want to know the answer, immediately! If you can't give me the answer, you can shoot yourself now!"

The man named Yamamoto kept nodding and bowing, his clothes soaked with sweat.

The atmosphere became increasingly silent.

Even though there was a communicator between us, it still made people break into cold sweats.

The twelfth human branch, Xini City, was also responsible for building the floating fortress. He knew that it would be his turn next, so he smiled and said, "Chief, don't be so anxious. Objective facts cannot be reversed by subjective consciousness. We are a single city, lacking steel and fuel, and there are many difficulties..."

"I estimate that I will have to work for another two and a half years..."

Digdit's eyes glowed red: "You guys deserve to die, you're like bastards born from a thousand fathers!"

Yamamoto immediately said: "No, two years, just one year! We will definitely be able to complete the construction of the floating fortress and let you control that [monster]..."

Digdit sneered. In fact, he knew that this group of people liked to report false data. They said it was a year and a half, but they would exceed the time limit again.

"Yes, we promise."

His tone was icy: "No matter what method you use, show your dominance!"

"If there are any opponents, bring them to the communicator and let me control them. If there are thugs, suppress them with guns!"

"Do you think this is Earth? Cancel all weekends off! Do you want to die if you don't work overtime?!"

Digdit said in his deep voice: "The city with the slowest development will eventually be sacrificed in blood and transformed into the spiritual charm needed to control the [Demon]."

"Don't think I'm joking. It was a necessary sacrifice - for all mankind!"

Everyone was shocked and shouted, "Yes!"

"In addition, we can also start the propaganda work. Without extraordinary resources, nothing can be done."

“Let’s spread the word like this: As long as we can obtain resources from the outside world, each of us can become a superman!”

"The meeting is adjourned!"

Everyone left with a mission and heavy hearts.

The heavy mountain weighs on everyone's heart, like a dark cloud covering the sky.

Can humans really defeat their enemies?

Can it really last forever and prosper forever? No one knows.

…

…

Although the "control" ability is strong, it is impossible to control tens of millions of people.

What's more, the operation of a city is not decided by a few city leaders.

The city leader of Old Delhi is a white-bearded old man who is not a Brahmin but a low-caste person. However, the economic lifeline of the city is still controlled by the high-caste people. This is a force and social inertia, not a single individual.

I look at the city filled with slums with a lot of thoughts in my mind… What will become of the city once it is sacrificed in blood?

He began to inspect a place called "Tabi High-tech Production Base".

Jiudeli originally wanted to use 80% of industrial raw materials to manufacture weapons and equipment, but plans and reality are often diametrically opposed. There are too many cases of corruption to control!

For example, if you take a little bit of fuel, and I take a little bit, wouldn't it be divided up? Besides, their oil reserves are not much to begin with.

Steel reserves were also directly embezzled.

In addition, there have been several factory fires in the past year, burning valuable production materials - no one knows whether these materials were burned or embezzled...

The tactical missile that exploded on the ground last month made them get scolded by Digdit.

Fortunately, the morale of the three Indians is always high, and no matter how great the difficulties are, they can't stop their progress! "We want to become one of the top three great cities in the world!" The old man shouted loudly, encouraging his men.

"The Tabi High-Tech Production Base shoulders the heavy responsibility of civilization development! We must speed up our pace, a great tomorrow awaits us."

Perhaps because this is a superpower in the spiritual world, Old Delhi is home to a large number of people with the divine skill of "glyph reading", with the number reaching 21, which is higher than in other cities.

Suddenly, one of his men came with a report: "Sir, we found that the low temperature resistance glyph protection system may not meet the final quality standards due to poor craftsmanship."

The low temperature resistance glyph protection system is a large metal shell, and is also an essential protection for the floating fortress against [monsters].

Otherwise, due to the interference of the demons, many high-tech weapons would crash directly and various electronic chips would be destroyed.

The gray-haired leader immediately whispered, "Show me the specific data..."

"Isn't this... no problem?"

The data in this table is almost perfect!

The occasional deviation is also within the error range. It is normal for human creations to have some errors! (End of this chapter)
