Chapter 545: The Magical Green City! Negotiations and Observations!

Looking back on the scenes from the past, that terrible cold wave was like hell. Everyone is extremely scared when they think about it now.

They were actually still grateful to the "Greedy Demon" who saved them, and when they talked about it now, there was a hint of mysterious awe in their hearts.

"We are lucky..."

Suddenly, there was a roar outside the window, and the snow accumulated on the roof was shaken and scattered on the ground.

All the sober people couldn't help but look outside and opened their mouths wide.

Whether it was the most powerful mayors of the two cities or the masters under them, they felt that they would never forget this scene - on that vast expanse of white snow, more than 100,000 insects of all sizes were sweeping the snow! "Biba!" "Bili!" Various calls came one after another, sounding a bit cheerful.

Most of the bugs had ferocious looks, sharp teeth, and brought an extremely dangerous aura. Even as level six masters, they were unwilling to engage in hand-to-hand combat with these guys.

There were also a large number of silver-white robots mixed in, seemingly clearing the snow? There were even some children playing on the roadside... and the sound of laughter could be faintly heard.

"Wahaha!" The giant turtle crawled out of the cave again, making a strange cry.

This scene was so weird from any angle that everyone thought, "This must be a historical flashback scene."

“Is this the interior of the ruins?”

"These bugs should be real... Children and humans, or maybe they are fake..."

"Everyone, don't take it lightly! This could all be a conspiracy by the turtle. The turtle might want to capture us and keep us with it forever! How about we go back and seek the protection of the Greedy Demon?"

Everyone shuddered at the same time. In ancient legends, there were stories about stripping out the soul and making soul gems.

If it was really this turtle that caught them...

Just as I was stunned, footsteps were heard outside the door.

"Dong, dong, dong. Guests, are you awake?"

Tagang was extremely alert at this moment, but their weapons had been taken away, and they were no match for those terrible insects in hand-to-hand combat.

It would be even more unwise to escape by jumping out of the window. With so many enemies outside, it would be tantamount to committing suicide.

The door opened.

The two king insects entered the room first.

As the most elite warrior of the Zerg Hive, he is now a level 12 extraordinary life form. His fully armed golden shell gives him a unique and majestic appearance.

In fact, the Overlord is quite elegant, 4 meters tall, and looks like a royal guard wearing heavy armor.

Behind the Queen Insect were several power armors, which contained translators from 18 human civilizations.

"Dear guests, you are awake. Please follow us to the cafeteria for dinner."

Tagang and others were stunned for a moment. The robot actually spoke?

Yes, puppet technology. They had seen similar products in a certain city.

But everyone remained vigilant and did not dare to act rashly.

“You are…”

"We are citizens of the 18th branch of human civilization. My name is Lu Yuwen, and I am a translation expert."

"This city is called Green City. It has grown and prospered under the protection of Princess Green."

The Ulan people are not unfamiliar with the term "translator", because their city also has the same divine skill.

"Does this city have an owner?"

"Of course, we have been active here all the time."

"Those kids outside, aren't they hallucinations?" another soldier couldn't help but raise his voice.

The human translator was amused. "They are the children of my civilization. Let them play in the snow to foster their spirit of adventure."

"Although the weather is a little cold, whether boys or girls, they must cultivate the temperament of not fearing setbacks from an early age."

That does seem to be true. Didn’t the Ulan people also exercise since they were young?

All the guests were doubting their lives at this moment. They had worked so hard to come here to pick up trash, but it turned out that this city had an owner! They hadn't even picked up a single rubbish when they experienced a cold wave and were captured! What the hell was this for?

In a short while, all kinds of emotions, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, came up and everyone couldn't help but want to cry.

And the Grand Secretary Constantine was even more embarrassed. What nostalgic turtle, what historical retrospection, were all just his blind guesses...

It’s embarrassing to tell anyone about it!

But soon, the outsiders corrected their attitude and tried to ease the atmosphere: "In the cold wave, we encountered a being called Greedy Demon..."

Speaking of this, Green City was a little proud: "He is indeed the guardian of our city and our supreme leader. I wonder if he..."

"He was the one who rescued us... We should thank him. We will never forget his life-saving grace, and we really can't repay him."

"You're welcome. He asked you to rest here."

"Are you also human beings...from the Snowy Continent?" Ta Gang looked at the children outside the window?

"No, our hometown is in this city... Snowy Continent... This is the first time I've heard of it. We've seen many species that look similar to humans, but we ultimately decided that using reproductive isolation to classify species is a more scientific approach. So similar looks do not necessarily mean the same race."

The man in the silver-white power armor turned around and led the way: "Guests, please follow me to the cafeteria to eat and wash your bodies."

After hesitating for a while, the outsiders put on their armor and shoes and followed.

I'm so hungry that I can hardly walk. I have to replenish my energy.

"We have to eat first before we think about other things. It's a blow whether horizontally or vertically. We have to face it sooner or later." They cheered themselves up.

To be honest, it was a bit hot inside the room. The temperature of 20 degrees Celsius made these strong men wearing a lot of leather coats sweat slightly, and they felt very hot after moving a little.

There are also a variety of mechanical equipment in the corridor.

Things like sweeping robots, automatically turning on and off lights, monitoring equipment, automatic doors, etc., dazzled them.

Even the most technologically advanced Dwarven Kingdom in the North would not be so extravagant as to have robots do the cleaning! "I wonder if the guests can reveal some information. We from Green City have indeed just arrived here." The translator asked.

Tagang, the mayor of Wulan City, cleared his throat and said, "This place is called the North Border, the extreme north, with cold winters all year round... As for why it is called this geographical term, we are not sure, because all the major relics use this term to introduce this area, so we have continued to use it."

"The weather here is cold all year round, and it produces extraordinary resources with ice attributes on a large scale."

"There are occasional large-scale cold waves, and technological development is slow."

"But the ice-attribute ore, how should I put it... there is indeed a lot of it, but it is somewhat difficult to use."

The ambassador from Green City asked, "How many smart cities are there nearby?"

"As far as we know, there may be hundreds of cities in the North, but compared to the vast area, it is still sparsely populated and transportation is not very convenient."

"This city is too far away. There is no way to get there. Where did your city come from?"

"We... accidentally fell in from outside the North."

"Foreign guests? No wonder your appearance was so bizarre. There may be more city exploration teams heading this way. They all want to pick up the inheritance! By then..."

"It's okay. Everyone who comes is a guest. As long as they don't damage property, we can receive them normally."

This is the confidence of mankind! …

…

When Lu Yuan heard these voices in his headphones, he was overwhelmed with emotion.

What a strange world! How could there be so many civilizations?

"There are hundreds of cities, big and small. Even if a city earns 10 points of luck, it will be thousands!"

He was simply delighted by the thought.

More importantly... influence!

In Pangu Continent, the function of influence is unknown. If this wave works well, the name of "Greedy Demon" can finally be spread! ...

These outsiders had different moods when they communicated.

The soldiers were a little demoralized and somewhat uncomfortable.

There is no garbage to pick up, and his military achievements have been wasted. His future fate is still unknown.

But the leadership's mood is changing the fastest.

"The humans in this city don't seem to have much malicious intent."

"Plus, with advanced technology, no shortage of energy, and no desire to plunder... Is it possible for us to cooperate and win together?"

The human race is weak here, but this time they encountered a very strong city!

Who doesn’t want to hug someone’s thighs?

"But what can we sell?" This question lingered in their minds, difficult to answer.

After all, the city of Mailao has a relic of civilization, and there are some things that can be sold.

But Ulan City is really a bit poor. After thinking for a long time, I found out that there is not even any local specialty.

It was so uncomfortable! Soon, we arrived at our destination.

The fiberglass door opens automatically. This is a large restaurant covering an area of ​​about 1,000 square meters, dotted with green plants such as green ivy.

There are dozens of round tables inside.

The table was filled with steaming dishes, including bread, buns, steamed buns and other Chinese food.

These people had persisted in the snow for a month and had been unconscious for several days. They were already starving and their eyes were blurry. Tempted by the delicious food, they did not hesitate too much and directly grabbed two buns and started eating.

The buns have thin skin and large fillings, and are filled with soup and oil. They are soft and slightly tough. It seems that you can feel the warmth of the meat aroma and steam with just a light bite.

"This food tastes so good! I wonder what animal it is from!"

"Eat yours...and don't make any noise. (Puffing cheeks)"

"Look at that robot cooking in the kitchen."

The outsiders looked around while eating, appearing very curious.

This is the legendary technological civilization! Robots are everywhere! Even the people serving the dishes are robots, which makes them feel a little uncomfortable. Some people even become respectful to the robots and can't help but greet them and salute them.

"Type A furniture robot, at your service." The robot spoke in Chinese, which the outsiders could not understand at all.

There is also a large bathhouse next to the restaurant, which is steaming hot and uses a shower head. These outsiders haven't bathed for a long time, and their skin is covered with a thick layer of patina, and their body odor is a bit strong.

I turned on the shower head and hot water flowed out.

"Oh, I know this thing. It is said that many powerful civilizations have adopted it." The Grand Secretary said excitedly, "It is quite luxurious. The hot water must be stored in containers. Cities with energy shortages cannot use it."

Well, generally speaking, it’s good to take a bath once a year.

These experts were smart people, and they quickly learned how to use the shower, took a comfortable hot bath, shaved off a layer of their thick skin, and then put on the casual clothes prepared by humans. These clothes were made of carbon nanomaterials, which were light and warm.

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

"Dear guests, please come in. Our leaders want to meet you and discuss future cooperation."

"Here we come!" The two city lords looked at each other and quickly reached a tacit understanding - we must advance and retreat together!

The ordinary soldiers stayed in the restaurant, while the lords of the two cities, along with several aides including the Grand Secretary, went to the nearby meeting room with great thoughts in their hearts.

Near this big round table, in addition to the human species, there are also blue-haired bird-men and brown-haired rat-men.

They were quite surprised to see these two exotic species.

“Is this city a union of multiple races?”

The union of multiple races is not uncommon in the North. The cities of these races were destroyed by some disasters, and the multiple races reunited and supported each other to build a new civilization in the geothermal area.

"I am the commander-in-chief of the 18th human civilization, Lu Yuan. Dear friends from outside, we have already met outside." Lu Yuan made a gesture, indicating that they should sit opposite each other at the round table.

When everyone heard this voice, it sounded familiar.

Then my eyes widened and I remembered...isn't this the voice of the stone man?

Tagang came back to his senses and bowed: "Thank you, Commander Lu Yuan, for saving our lives. Without you, we might have frozen to death."

“Words cannot describe our gratitude!”

"I, Tagang, owe you my life!"

This is true.

Lu Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "It's just a piece of cake, and you have already paid the reward."

“We are new to this city and there are still many things we don’t know. We hope that leaders can explain the common sense of life here to us.”

"If you have good specialties, we can also trade with each other and learn from each other."

"The transaction is a win-win choice. It allows us to live better in this difficult time."

Tagang's expression changed: "Is your civilization willing to sell technological products?"

"Of course, as long as the price is right, is there anything that cannot be sold? Let's put it this way, we are currently lacking in mineral resources, including iron ore and copper ore. If you have ore, we are willing to buy it."

"In addition, we also purchase extraordinary resources in large quantities and will give you a good price."

"There are also spiritual crystals and spiritual rhymes. You have so many civilizations and have dug up so many ruins. It's impossible that you don't know about this."

"This... we naturally know."

Lingyun is the universal currency unit in the North! This fact has long been spread.

Through some glyph combinations, extraordinary items can be transformed into spiritual charm.

But no matter which city, even if it is a powerful dwarf city, 1 spiritual charm is a large unit of currency, so people will only use this thing when trading extremely precious items.

Otherwise, most of the transactions are barter.

Hearing this, the two city lords felt a little uneasy. They hoped that this powerful technological civilization would offer a cheaper price, otherwise they would have no choice but to give up strategically... After all, they were not at a good level in terms of electrical technology.

Then, the two sides started a heated conversation and talked about the general situation of this bitter and cold land.

The annual temperature in the north is below minus 20 degrees Celsius.

It is already a hotter season.

The further north you go, the colder the climate becomes.

Because of the large number of civilizations, gambling is very popular in this land.

When two strange cities meet, they are basically going to have a cold-weapon fight.

Lu Yuan frowned slightly. Thinking about it carefully, it was normal. With so many cities, wouldn't they have to fight to prevent war? "How do you rank in terms of overall strength in this continent?"

"Maybe... lower than average." After saying this, the sturdy man rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly. There is no point in hiding it. This kind of thing is easy to investigate.

Another city, Mailao City, is actually slightly stronger and considers itself to be of medium rank.

But in this case, we can only accept it by default.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and said comfortingly: "Ahem... That means there is still a lot of room for improvement. Let's talk about other things. What else do you know?"

Grand Secretary Constantine spoke eloquently: "As far as I know, the Tengyue Clan occupies the northernmost city. This is a long-haired race, with a height of 2 meters and strong combat power."

"Further north, there are no civilized cities, only some suspicious savages."

"Savage?"

"They have lost their reason and culture. They may be creatures passed down from the ancient times. They have evolved to adapt to the cold winter and absorb the ability of ice elements, but they have lost their wisdom and live a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood."

There is also this kind of creature...

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, a bit like the group of slaves who had lost their wisdom in the Shumiba civilization.

"Does no one know what is in the far north?"

Constantine said, "According to the literature, the city of the Tengyue Clan is located in a geothermal zone, with an average temperature of minus 60 degrees Celsius all year round. Further north, there is no more geothermal zone."

"The temperature kept dropping, eventually dropping to below -160 degrees Celsius."

"This temperature is enough to keep methane in liquid form, so there are large areas of methane lakes in the north."

"But even in the methane lakes, there is a kind of strange fungus that survives tenaciously. The Tengyue Clan has been picking this fungus all year round as a specialty of civilization, so they are quite wealthy."

“What are fungi good for?”

"A kind of...alchemical material." The Grand Maester said, "In the North, there is an overabundance of extraordinary materials made of ice elements, so we have to find a way to utilize them. That kind of fungus can transform ice elements into softer life elements, so it is quite popular."

Alchemy, in other words, is medical science.

Taking drugs to upgrade is quite popular here.

The 18 civilizations of mankind have scientific research methods, and the local indigenous people have also found localized alchemy through long practice.

"I roughly understand. Please continue."

The university scholar drew a simple map and said, "If we go further north, the weather will be too cold. The temperature is minus 200 degrees Celsius all year round."

"At this time, even the air will freeze, forming liquid oxygen and nitrogen lakes. Only a kind of microorganism called water bears can survive. Even the Treadmill tribe will be frozen to death, and there will be no civilization there anymore..."

"That's all we know... Maybe if we keep going north, the temperature will suddenly warm up, or maybe it won't. Anyway, no one can cross that extremely cold barrier."

The negotiators from Green City looked at each other in bewilderment. What kind of extremely harsh conditions were these? To be honest, even Green City would find it very difficult to pass through this icy hell.

If there is any mistake in the middle, you will be in an irretrievable situation.

"Unless it is a spaceship from an interstellar civilization... Commander-in-Chief, shouldn't we find a way to build an interstellar spaceship?" The Lanpeng people began to fantasize about their interstellar civilization again.

These bird people fantasize about their interstellar universe all day long.

"What about other directions? Are they equally cold?" Lu Yuan scoffed at the interstellar universe. He knew very well that the danger actually came from the universe!

Grand Secretary Constantine thought for a moment and said, "In the south, east, and west of the northern border, there will be a huge natural chasm, as if the entire continent has split apart."

"No civilization can cross that chasm, not even the most powerful dwarf civilization." This university scholar was very knowledgeable and knew a little about everything.

"How deep is this chasm?"

"How deep?"

The Grand Secretary shook his head. "That is just a vast void of space. How can there be any concept of depth? Even gravity will slowly disappear. Once you pass through it, you will float away."

"The atmospheric pressure will gradually decrease, oxygen will be scarce, and everyone will suffocate to death!"

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows. There is actually such a place?

Immediately afterwards, the think tanks behind Green City also started to discuss with great interest: "Looking at their body movements and emotions, they shouldn't be lying... This information is easy to verify."

"If this is really the case, it will be difficult for us to leave."

"Is this the edge of Pangu Continent?"

"The first option is to go through the harsh cold in the north and head north. That is really a great and difficult journey, and it requires a lot of preparation."

"The second is to use the monster's spatial ability and let it take us away with it when it jumps."

"Of course, we don't need to be too anxious... The geographical environment of the North is indeed worth investigating. It is very strange here, and perhaps it hides a great secret."
