Chapter 55
Chapter 55: Unexpected, Reasonable [Second Updateβ
Tice didn't mean to argue in the first place, and when he heard her words, he didn't speak again. He walked up the stairs of the platform, step by step, and the others followed. Lin Xi and Xia Ziyu stood beside Ties, and Lin Xi didn't know much about this step because of incomplete information.
Xia Ziyu didn't want to let go of any details that might find the truth.
As he walked to the top, Tis raised his right hand from a blurred stone slab in front of him, his little finger turning into a sharp blade.
Without frowning, he slashed the palm of his left hand, and the blood that spurted out of it stained the indistinguishable clay tablet.
Xia Ziyu frowned, a little puzzled by the situation at the moment.
Lin Xi has always pitied beauties, but the beauties in front of him taught him a lesson last night. There was no pity left, even if Tis was like this at the moment.
"Here you go." Ignoring the hand that was still dripping blood, Tis looked at Lin Xi expressionlessly.
The corners of Lin Xi's mouth twitched, even if he hurt himself, he still had to pull him.
Where the blood had flowed from the clay tablet, a little shimmer began to flash, and the dust and mud on it seemed to be swept away by a brush, and all of them seemed to fall next to it.
The magical scene fell in the eyes of several people present, including Lin Xi.
Well, the other party obviously has a purpose, although he said so, but he was inexplicably stabbed, and Lin Xi was still a little unhappy.
"You don't dare." obviously used a flat and straightforward tone, which fell into Lin Xi's ears and listened to it with disdain.
He wouldn't dare?! What did he not dare, he handed Lin Shu in his arms over, and Tis took it obediently, and then looked at him with open eyes.
Xia Ziyu raised his eyebrows, Lin Xi also met someone who could cure him.
With his eyebrows raised, Lin Xi pulled out the metal dagger inserted in the edge of his boot, when had he ever been afraid of this...... No, he is actually quite afraid of pain, it should be said that everyone is afraid of pain. It's different from the alien in front of him who makes a cut on his hand without frowning.
Lin Xi spread out his left hand and was about to make a strong stab when he heard Tice's voice.
"A little bit of yours is enough."
"......" almost prepared to play a heavy hand Lin Xi.
"This clay tablet is the key to the entrance." That's all Tice knows. Their Zerg had also been here before, and what they had taken at that time allowed them to quickly climb from the bottom of the alliance, driven by advanced civilizations, to their current position.
Lin Xi gritted his teeth, and without hesitation, slashed at the palm of his hand, and trickling blood dripped down his fingertips onto the clay tablet.
However, it did not shine as golden as recorded in the literature...... Expired...... This is impossible, Tice's expression suddenly became a little pale, Lin Xi turned his head, saw such a Tice, and frowned.
His eyes fell on Tess's unhealed wound, and he pursed his lips in annoyance.
The hippie smiled and beckoned his right hand to Lin Ye, who was standing next to Xia Ziyu in the audience, and the blood on his left hand was better not to move, "Xiao Yezi, help bandage a wound, okay." β
"Oh, no problem." Lin Ye ran over to bandage Lin Xi's wound, as a doctor, looking at Tice's hand that was still dripping blood, he was a little disapproving.
Looking at Tice's cold expression, Lin Ye cautiously spoke.
"Well, Mr. Tees, do you want to take care of the wound?"
Tis glanced at her, his expression suddenly softened a little, and he stretched out his arm, "Thank you." β
"No, you don't." Lin Ye got permission, took out gauze and disinfectant from his bag, and lowered his head to treat Tice's wounds.
Xia Ziyu walked to the clay tablet, and the appearance of the clay tablet at the moment was very different from before. Most of the real appearance is revealed, and the smooth silver-white board is engraved with some complicated patterns. And there was not a trace of blood on it, as if it had been absorbed invisibly.
"Major General Xia wants to give it a try." Tice walked over and looked at her.
"I'm coming too? In that case, I'll give it a try, but I can't get here and give up halfway. Xia Ziyu looked at the slate and silently slashed the dagger in his palm.
A faint golden glow emanated from the clay tablet, and an entrance was in front of it, and an oval-shaped blue curtain of light opened silently.
Is it the entrance? Lin Xi looked at it without a trace, but it was such an entrance, and the technology contained in it was indeed something that humans could not parse at all now.
Thinking of the information given to him by the Imperial side, Lin Xi had a headache.
Lin Ye bandaged her wounds, Xia Ziyu smiled lightly on the corner of her lips, watching Lin Ye lightly wrap her hands with gauze.
What she cared more about was what she had just thought of, the yellow sand stretched for thousands of miles, and the sand and dust rolled up could even flood a place and form a huge sand dune.
Here, although there is dust, there is no trace of being buried.
The development of things is getting more and more interesting, and the more interested Xia Ziyu becomes, knowing that it is trouble, but she has a feeling of being unstoppable.
Mystery is often more curious, and the unknown brings fear, but it can also make the heart flutter if you are not willing to be lonely.
Lin Ye wrapped gauze around her silently, and the somewhat hideous wound was wrapped under the gauze, feeling a little distressed and worried.
With such a beautiful hand, I don't know if it will leave a scar. Looking at Xia Ziyu's indifferent expression, Lin Ye was a little weak, she didn't care about herself, what was the use of worrying about it. ββ
Xia Ziyu's wound was actually much deeper than the other two, and the self-healing ability of the Zerg was very strong, and Lin Xi cut it shallowly.
With her cheeks puffed out, Lin Ye knew that it was wrong for her to say this, but she was still a little angry, and whispered in Xia Ziyu's ear, "Do you not cherish yourself like this every time." β
"Nope." Xia Ziyu heard the meaning of Lin Ye's words, took Lin Ye's hand tightly, and said with a smile.
Chang Xin, who was following behind his boss, hugged Silan with a good look of brotherhood, bowed his head and smiled. They didn't hear the major general's helpless tone, spoiling his wife or something, ahem, they didn't see anything.
Slan lifted his glasses and slammed his elbow hard into someone's stomach, who allowed his hand to rest on his shoulder.
Yi Bei saw Xia Ziyu and Lin Ye holding hands, lowered his head, couldn't see the emotion on his face clearly, and didn't know what he was thinking.
What happened behind him, the people in front of him were unaware, and Xia Ziyu naturally missed Yi Bei's abnormal demeanor.
They were now in the passage after entering the entrance, the passage was very wide, the three of them were more than one side by side, there was no sight, there was no lighting, etc., it seemed to be paved with crystals, and on the ground and overhead, there were crystals that emitted a faint white light.
Ever since she saw that slate, Xia Ziyu felt that something was wrong, if it was just a tall humanoid statue outside, she could also explain that the civilization here might be a humanoid civilization.
After all, mankind has found many such civilizations.
So far, only the Zerg have been found, and this and the mermaid are not the two races that are not mermaids.
However...... As it stands, these two races can also become humans......
But the somewhat magical stone slab, the altar-like platform, and the passage at this time did not seem to be built by backward civilizations.
However, if we want to say that this civilization is a scientific and technological civilization, along the way, we have not seen a shadow representing the development of its civilization.
Strange planets, weird civilizations......
Lin Xi and Tis walked in front of Xia Ziyu and Lin Ye, at this moment, they were all working in pairs, and Yi Bei was alone.
Lin Shuzheng was hugging Lin Xi's neck, not at all frightened by the dark environment around him.
Interracial children, fortunately, the only people who know this are currently her and the two parties. For those scientists in the empire who study the Zerg, Lin Shu is such a good material.
Even if it is inconvenient due to Lin Xi's identity, all kinds of research assistance are absolutely indispensable.
Lin Xi was weaving language, thinking about how he would talk to Xia Ziyu about this time. I knew that I should have asked his dad to talk about so many things, and his head was too big.
Especially when he knew that Lin Ye was also coming, he kept thinking about when Xia Ziyu would come to ask him.
But what do you want him to say, that he doesn't know anything about Lin Ye?
The long passage came to an end, and it suddenly opened up, and the wide square that looked like a dozen football fields came into view.
Exquisitely carved floating on the surrounding crystal walls, there are several lamps, and in the center of the black lamps, the crystal is carved enough to make a real lotus flower.
The light from the fiery red lotus heart illuminated the entire place, and the paintings on the crystal wall were clearly visible.
Xia Ziyu looked at it one by one, and everyone's eyes were firmly attracted and grasped by the paintings on the wall, and they were reluctant to look away.
The magnificent history of the development of civilization is vividly displayed in front of them, and each painting is like an image sealed on the crystal wall, waiting for people to discover.
The first one depicts several giants, and indeed they are. If the image is true, the height of the image is between 12.5 and 20 meters.
It is extremely similar to the trajectory of human civilization, except for height, it is almost like someone has spoofed the history of human civilization and made a scene of images here.
In the second, humans begin to live in groups...... Socially Formed ......
In the third, there is a ruler in the human race...... Imperial power prevailed......
Fourth, regime change...... The times are progressing......
In the fifth, the capable person appears...... Scientific and technological civilization and spiritual civilization go hand in hand......
No, Xia Ziyu said to himself in his heart that the ability in the image is very similar to the spiritual power among humans, but the other party is obviously much stronger than them.
Hold back what you think in your heart, continue to look down, and only later will you realize how shallow you are thinking.
In the sixth picture, the giant civilization meets other civilizations, walks out of its own planet, and looks back at the home planet from the universe, and a pale golden planet floats......
Countless civilizations, other civilizations are different...... There are no human beings, yes, there is no civilization in it at all.
Xia Ziyu told himself not to be surprised, the birth of civilization is different, and what is strange about the different appearance of civilized races.
Then why the civilizations that human beings encounter are all humanoids, the question lingers in my mind.
The gaze turns to the seventh,...... Ignite a flame out of thin air, raise your hand to beckon thunder and lightning, and the development of science and technology ...... What is this, Xia Ziyu pondered.
The image in front of me is that of the universe, using an object to expand a black mass, and after a moment that mass disappears.
"It's a spatial passage." Tice said when he saw her silent.
"......" glanced at Tice, but Xia Ziyu did not speak.
The eighth, the melee, is an unprecedented melee from the video records, involving thousands of civilizations, destroying galaxies and even rivers.
Even through the images, you can feel the madness of those races at that time, destroying other civilizations at any cost, and then plundering them......
In the ninth, the rest of the galaxies are all old, about to enter their final destiny, and only this civilization is the one who is still alive at the moment......
The tenth episode, the scene of the collapse of the universe......
Thousands of stars collapsed, nebulae collapsed, as if they were in the scene, Xia Ziyu couldn't help but subconsciously hold her breath, and when the image ended, she noticed that her tense mind relaxed.
It's not just her, it's the rest of the people, but the image is far from over......
The dazzling and brilliant light advanced everyone's hearts, and at this moment, everyone was immersed in the power of the image, and for a long time they could not distinguish between reality and illusion.
In the darkness, a faint soft, sleepy light swallowed up the darkness and ignited clusters of starlight.
The universe that had come to naught was born again, and star clusters, nebulae, galaxies, and planets appeared before their eyes in the same way.
Incredible!
The picture is finally over, no one has come back to their senses for a long time, if the things on the image are true, then has the world ever been repeated? However, none of the people present could give an answer to this question.
"What are those scattered points of light?" At the end of the picture, Lin Xi paid attention to the stars scattered from the hands of the leader of the giant civilization.
His question was also what Xia Ziyu wanted to ask, what she learned today shocked her too much, she was not surprised that Lin Xi came back to her senses so quickly, thinking about it, Lin Xi should also know a little bit of the inside story.
"Those are the hearts of the planet." Tis turned to look at Lin Xidao.
"You call it the Heart of Civilization." Without blinking, Tice threw a bombshell again.
"......" Xia Ziyu didn't say a word, this was the third time she had heard the heart of civilization from others.
"The Heart of Civilization is a strange round crystal discovered by the Empire during a crustal movement more than 10,000 years ago. Three hundred years after the crystal was discovered, human scientists realized how to use it. But the introduction is the meteor shower that changed all mankind. β
Lin Xi explained that these things were also classified in the Empire.
What he said was completely cloudy to the ears of others, and they didn't know what he was talking about. If Xia Ziyu hadn't checked this matter before, she wouldn't have understood. This part of the information has been deliberately deleted for 10,000 years, and not many people still know about it.
"I know you have a lot of doubts, but the Empire needs the details of this civilization inheritance fortress, so, I'm sorry, I can't tell you in the future." Lin Xi bowed his head apologetically.
The secret is indeed curious, but the people present are all soldiers, and it is their duty to obey orders.
So even if I really want to know the reason, I have extinguished this thought.
Hearing Lin Xi's words, a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed in Yi Bei's eyes, and then like everyone else, he put away his curious look.
Xia Ziyu listened to it but didn't mean to give up, she had to figure out this matter clearly.
Lin Xi turned his head to look at Tice, a little playful, the heart of civilization According to the information he knows now, there is only one race. The Zerg actually wanted to take one from here, which was really unexpected for him.
Besides, how do they know if there is anything here?
His face was pulled by a hand, Lin Xi gasped and slapped it away with his hand, this little rabbit cub is getting more and more excessive, has he found a backer.
I wanted him to hug him before, but now I dare to pull his face.
Remembering why he was beaten before, Lin Xi's teeth were itching, and it was the first time he was beaten and he had no power to fight back.
"Lin Xi, what are you doing in a daze." Xia Ziyu stopped, looked at Lin Xi, who was still standing in place, and didn't even respond to Lin Shu's call to him, shouted with a headache.
Can you not drop the chain at the critical moment.
"I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now." found that everyone was waiting for him, and he was embarrassed to be as thick as Lin Xi.
As soon as Tis walked up the steps, the light in front of him instantly disappeared, and when it lit up, it seemed to ...... Changed the world.
Standing on the steps, as far as the eye could see, there were countless balls of light floating in the air without gravity, leaving a passage in the middle, and at the end of the passage was a thick pillar of light, and the light was refracted to the surrounding crystal walls, intertwining and shining.
All of them were speechless in astonishment, unable to describe in words what they had seen.
"You can only take one thing, right?" Lin Xi withdrew his gaze and turned to Tice, according to the message given to him by the Empire, which was interpreted from the legacy of the Atlantean civilization.
"Yes." Tis actually patiently replied to Lin Xi.
"Ziyu, go in or take the outside." Lin Xi didn't care about Tice's answer, and looked at her, who hadn't spoken much.
She raised her hand and gestured, "I don't know, you can see for yourself." β
Seeing that Lin Xi ignored him, Tis was not in the mood to be bored, and led people to the pillar of light, and his mood increased a little heaviness with every step he took.
It was recorded that this was the place where the heart of the planet was most likely to appear, and the survival of the entire race was at stake, and he had to be cautious.
Lin Xi shrugged, "According to the records of Atlantis, a race can take one thing, not more. The situation inside the pillar of light is unknown, and in general there may be something important inside. But the Empire only asks us to go in and find out if we can enter, and if we can't, we can just take what is outside. β
Tice, who had already walked outside the pillar of light, reached out and touched it, but was blocked back by something invisible.
Not really...... Frustration and loss are hopelessly bred from the bottom of my heart. Why not, obviously the original ancestor could do it, and his golden eyes were dyed a little dark red.
At this moment, Tis suddenly remembered that Lin Xi's blood had been tested just now, and looked at Lin Xi and said in a stiff tone, "You come here." β
Lin Xi blinked, that alien worm was talking to him?
The first time I found out that this person would frown, he had beaten him with an expressionless face before. Nodding at Xia Ziyu, Lin Xi walked over, after all, he was a temporary ally now, and he would not lose a piece of meat in the past.
"What?" Lin Xi asked, and saw Tiss pull his left hand and touch it against the pillar of light.
I don't know what the situation is, it's so reckless! Before Lin Xi could refuse, he felt a burning sensation in his fingertips, and his body leaned forward uncontrollably, pounced on the pillar of light, and there was also Tees, just like him.
In the blink of an eye, the two disappeared in front of everyone.
No, it's actually three people, and there is one more in Lin Xi's arms.
Xia Ziyu saw that the situation was out of control, so he hurriedly strode forward to check, and Lin Ye also followed.
"What the hell are you doing over there!" Xia Ziyu was a little angry, when Tis called Lin Xi over just now, she should have stopped it.
Instead of letting Lin Xi's idiot walk over, Lin Xi did it on purpose! Xia Ziyu suddenly realized that it was clear that Lin Xi and Tis were not on the same page, but they passed as soon as they called, and there was definitely a purpose.
Damn it! Xia Ziyu's face was ugly, Lin Xi, this guy, there must be danger inside, otherwise he wouldn't have gone in by himself without even discussing with her.
Lancher made a blank face, so that he didn't have the same temper as he had exposed before, and rushed straight in. Before coming, His Highness had already instructed them that this could happen.
Now it seems that they are much calmer than Xia Ziyu.
Xia Ziyu stretched out his hand and wanted to touch it, but was stopped, twisted his eyebrows and looked over, and spoke in a very bad tone, "Chang Xin? β
"Major General, you can't go." Silan spoke, her calm tone bringing back her sanity that had been taken away by anger, "There are still us here, and the mission assigned by the Empire has not yet been completed." β
When it comes to us, it also looks like the forest leaves. Lin Ye received Si Lan's eyes and nodded hurriedly, "We have to believe Major General Lin Xi, don't be impulsive." β
Lin Ye persuaded dryly, she was actually not sure that Xia Ziyu would listen to her.
Of course she heard Lin Ye's words.
Therefore, Xia Ziyu, who calmed down, finally just glanced at the pillar of light with complicated eyes, and then turned his head to Chang Xin and Si Lan and said.
"Now, let's fix it in place. Silan, you guys use the equipment to collect the number of environments here......"
