Chapter 36: The Secret of Value

Noah's face turned pale when he heard this, but he still pretended to be calm and bowed, and sat down. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

The Mayan chief stood stiff until he was pulled behind him a few times, dissuaded by his wife, and then sat down with his fists clenched.

Lin Pei pulled the chair that he pushed away behind him, sat down, and put his hands on the crutches.

"Since everyone is not hungry, the agenda for the next meeting will be brought forward."

The people on either side of the table once again focused their attention on the first seat.

Lin Pei folded his hands and leaned forward slightly.

"It is said that when your ancestors first crash-landed on this planet, the fortress-class ship did not suffer much damage, but unfortunately there is no record of it since, and many people think that it has long been turned into scrap metal and recycled as garbage. It's just that that's all a lie to ordinary people. ”

Lin Pei paid attention to the expressions of the people below, took out a pack of biscuits from his pocket, and he took a piece and put it in his mouth.

"You keep the secret of the spaceship, and even provoke a war for it, because because of it, so many people died on the battlefield, and after they died, they didn't know the real reason for dying, it's really pitiful."

He sucked his finger and took another cookie.

No one spoke down there.

"I know that the ship is hidden somewhere in Noah, and the key to start the ship is in the hands of someone Maya. All of you here are the elite of the city-state, those in power, and some of you must know this secret. ”

Lin Pei threw the biscuit into his mouth and patted the biscuit crumbs on his hand.

"Now you don't have to worry anymore, because we have come to receive it, and someone who knows the secret tells me where the ship is? There is also the key to start the ship. Tell me where they are and we'll take care of the rest. ”

Mayor Noah lowered his head and rubbed his left hand against his forehead.

The Mayan chieftain breathed faster and his heart raced.

Lin Pei's few words brought out the reason why Noah and Maya had a grudge.

At that time, Noah took advantage of the energy advantage to preemptively recover the starship, and most of the officials in power at that time belonged to the returnees, who were committed to repairing the spaceship, contacting the human headquarters, and returning to the space route.

The Mayan high-level who established the Mayan Pioneer Farm for production were all left behind, and they were originally low-status people among the spaceship immigrants, many of whom were prisoners, and they were not accepted by Noah, and were forced to move in the underground space until a new miraculous power was discovered, which created a new place to live.

For them, it is better to return than to stay in their new homeland, and although their material conditions have dropped a lot, at least they have freedom, equality and dignity here.

Originally, although the two city-states had different philosophies, they were finally safe and sound, until Noah's government learned of the existence of the new miracle power and sent an invitation to the first Mayan chieftain, hoping to use the newly discovered miracle power to repair the ship's life capsule.

The Tree of Life, a miracle of the Maya, is characterized by its powerful energy resources.

At that time, the first Mayan chief decided that once he helped Noah repair the spaceship and the human headquarters discovered it, the new home would no longer belong to them, and it would no longer be up to them.

Unwilling to accept the future of having his homeland taken away, the Mayan chief visited Noah and stole the key to start the ship.

Since then, Noah's return plan has no possibility of restarting.

A year later, Noah launched a war against the Maya.

Trained cyborg soldiers break through Maya's defenses.

However, just as the cyborg soldiers entered the Tree of Life energy shelter area, something strange happened. The mobility of cyborgs was greatly reduced in an instant, and their speed and strength were reduced by sixty percent compared to normal levels. Maya's newly developed plant-based weapons and beast-driven attacks overcame their numerical disadvantage and left the group of cyborgs behind.

Noah's first expedition failed miserably.

It was also the first war between the independent city-states of the New Apocalypse that possessed miraculous things.

It is also from that war that humans learned that the power of miracles of different attributes will be affected in areas close to the shelter of another miracle, which is why the core chip in the biochemical brain is greatly weakened after approaching the tree of life.

The two great city-states of Noah and Maya fought each other after this battle.

After more than 200 years of conflict and strife, Noah still has not found the key to start the spaceship, even if Noah has become the ruler since the middle of the year, the two city-states have become more and more bitter, and there is no possibility of repairing the relationship.

The real reason behind this city-state relationship has never been recorded in any document, and the sand of time has washed away, and this secret has only been passed on from generation to generation.

The first rulers of the two city-states probably did not expect that the beliefs they had to uphold would be put on the table in a hall more than two hundred years later.

Lin Pei looked at the VIPs on both sides of the table and raised his hand.

"Don't be inhibited, I'm very easy-going when I think of anything."

There was silence in the audience.

Lin Pei chewed the biscuit and waited for a while.

"Okay, it really takes some time, you think about it slowly, think about it and tell me the answer when you have it." Lin Pei stood up on crutches, "Ah, by the way, this place has been sealed off, so you won't be disturbed in any way." Think slowly, preferably before you get hungry. No answers, no meals. ”

The faces of the people on both sides of the table changed.

This implies that if they don't tell Lin Pei where the spaceship is hiding and where the activation key is, they will be trapped here and starve to death.

"I want to see Your Excellency the Commander, which is completely inconsistent with what I said before." This time it was Noah's mayor who couldn't sit still.

The Mayan chief didn't speak, his face was covered in a cold sweat.

Lin Pei smiled embarrassedly.

"The adult is not feeling well and cannot work for a long time during the recuperation period, so I am solely responsible for this kind of trivial matter. Rest assured, there will be no repercussions. ”

"A trifle? What's the trifleβ€”"

Four guards stopped the mayor.

Lin Pei walked a few steps with his crutches, remembered something, and turned around.

The mayor was overjoyed when he saw that there was a turnaround.

Lin Pei walked past the mayor, walked to the long table, and picked up the bag containing the biscuits.

"I almost forgot." He twisted the bag of biscuits, held it in his hand, and limped out of the streamer hall.

The gate was locked.

The hall exploded.

The first to bear the brunt are those who do not know the truth behind the scenes.

Noah's chairman of the chamber of commerce rushed up and grabbed the mayor and asked what was going on, the head of the government's highest-level scientific research institute sat in his seat and muttered nervously, and the president of the logistics association called Quanjia actually asked the mayor for information.

Compared to Maya's side, everyone is more united and there are no internal disputes.

Several elders surrounded the Mayan chieftain.

"Where's Yoon?"

This is their common questioning theme.

The keeper of the Mayan temple, who has been passed down from generation to generation, is the adopted son of the Mayan chieftain semi-openly to the outside world, and it is such an unwritten agreement that they finally understand what they are coming for until today.

It turns out that the Secret Keeper is not guarding any secret history of the Maya, but the information about the ship's key.

The Mayan chief was helpless in the face of the siege of the elders, as he did not know Yin Eun's whereabouts.

It stands to reason that Yoon should arrive at Noah after them, but so far they have not heard anything about him.

The Mayan chieftain is responsible for protecting the Keeper of the Secret, and the Keeper of the Secret is responsible for keeping the keys to the ship, and no one can approach the secret except the Keeper of the Secret, which has been passed down from generation to generation, including the Mayan Chief.

Now that Yin Eun is gone, even if he is the chief of Maya, even if he is willing to hand over the key, he can't do it at this moment.

The Mayan chief seemed to be five years old in just a few minutes, and his brown and black face was furrowed and full of helplessness.

It would have been nice to surrender as soon as possible. He couldn't help but think to himself.

It's useless to regret it now, so I can only tell the gang about the role of the secret keeper and ask them to go to Yin Eun.

Maya is already one step behind Noah, and in the future, the outers must no longer be allowed to dominate the matter of new territories.

Compared to Noah's side, which was still arguing, Maya's side quickly made a decision.

"We're willing to hand over the keys."

Critical decisions tend to yield results more quickly in centralized groups.

The Mayan chieftain shouted at the guards at the gate,

"Serve your best food and drink, our answer is worth the price!"
