Chapter 666: Dead City

The roasted mutton is very fragrant, even if Chu Tianjiang doesn't need to eat, he is still moving his fingers and has an appetite.

"Don't worry, this thing can be eaten, and it is absolutely not poisonous."

Laika was still a little hesitant, although she knew that the Dao Rock Sheep was not poisonous, but she had never eaten mutton, to be precise, the meat from the Rock Sheep.

In fact, if it weren't for the war that drove many people to a dead end, I'm afraid that no one on the United Continent would eat wild animals at all.

Hundreds of years ago, as controlled fusion nuclear energy replaced other energy sources, people on the United Continent no longer relied on animals or plants for food. At the height of the Apocalyptic Empire, even cultivation and breeding were a thing of the past, and the food needed by humans was synthesized directly from raw materials in factories. If it weren't for this war, perhaps with the advancement of technology, humanity would have evolved to the point where it did not need to eat. Although under the influence of tradition and habits, the food provided in the city has been made into a familiar appearance, and there are still bread and steaks that Chu Tianjiang is familiar with, but this is only the shape and color, and the taste is similar, but it is not natural food.

Chu Tianjiang tore off a leg of mutton and ate a few bites first.

Laika suppressed the feeling of turning her stomach and took a bite of the leg of lamb that Chu Tianjiang gave her. It's delicious, and it has a very unique taste, a slightly pungent, but fragrant taste. Laika didn't know that it was a unique scent of wild animals, and there was no artificially created food.

"How's it going, is it delicious?"

"Not bad."

Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "Actually, just as I don't know enough about the United Continent, you don't know much about the World Realm outside the United Continent. ”

Laika raised her head and looked at Chu Tianjiang.

"I'm from the New World, but I've been to the Northern Continent and the Old World before, have you heard of it?"

Laika nodded, she had heard about other continents.

More than four years ago, everyone believed that the United Continent was the only one, and that there was no other world outside the United Continent, and that there was only so much room for human beings to live. Although some people have raised doubts, especially some curious scientists. For example, some scientists have discovered that the United Continent is not on a plane, but on the surface of a sphere, so the United Continent is on a spherical planet. Even if there is only one continent on this planet, then starting from the east side of the continent and sailing westward will definitely reach the west side of the continent. But none of these speculations and suspicions have been confirmed, no one has left the United Continent, and no one has come from the outside world.

Almost overnight, that all changed.

Not overnight, to be exact, but months.

When the first smugglers arrived, the people on the United Continent were still unimpressed. After all, there are so many people that no one will notice a few stowaways.

With the arrival of more and more stowaways, the talents on the United Continent know that there is a wider world outside.

Of course, the stowaways brought a lot of news. For example, outside of the United Continent, there are not only the New World, but also the Northern Continent and the Old World.

After the initial suspicions, explorers from the United Continent went to confirm the rumors.

In the past few years, for anyone on the United Continent, the outside world is no longer a secret, but there are very few people who really leave the United Continent to explore the outside world, and even fewer people return to the United Continent after completing the exploration, so the residents of the United Continent still don't know enough about the outside world, most of the news comes from stowaways in the northern continent, as well as some rumors and rumors that are not reliable.

"These four continents, as well as the southern continent to the south, are on one planet." Chu Tianjiang drew a circle on the ground. According to the information he received from the Legion Library, astronomy on the United Continent was very lagging behind, and the mainstream doctrine even believed that the United Continent was on a plane. "We call this planet Earth, and Earth is just one planet in the solar system, and there are several other planets in the solar system. If we continue to look out, there are many similar star systems, but they are isolated and we can't travel to other star systems for the time being. ”

Laika looked at Chu Tianjiang as if she was going crazy.

"Of course, the history of mankind is more than a few thousand years. If we count from the appearance of the first Homo sapiens, human beings have a history of about 200,000 years, and even the earliest recorded history appeared about 20,000 years ago. Chu Tianjiang paused slightly. Of course, the United Continent is not the birthplace of human civilization. In fact, human civilization was already very developed before the human history recorded by the United Continent. ”

"Before?"

Chu Tianjiang nodded and said, "As early as more than 10,000 years ago, that is, before the emergence of the United Continent, human civilization was already very developed. Although it was not as good as it is now, or in some ways not as good as it is now, it was much freer for human beings at that time. ”

"Wait, you started talking about more than 10,000 years ago?"

"Believe it or not, this is the real history." Chu Tianjiang looked at Laika's eyes and told him what he knew about the history of human beings.

Of course, it's a long story.

Although through spiritual communication, Chu Tianjiang was able to let Iskar know what had happened in the past 10,000 years with greater efficiency, but Chu Tianjiang felt that this was too direct and it would be difficult for Laika to accept, so he chose this more traditional method.

By the time Chu Tianjiang finished speaking, Laika was already completely confused.

"Actually......"

"Are you sure? Is this what you learned from books, or is it ......"

"My own experience."

"What?"

"I went through that upheaval more than 10,000 years ago, and then disappeared for 10,000 years, to be precise, in a space with no time limit, and stayed there for 10,000 years."

"This ...... It can't be ......"

Chu Tianjiang had already expected this kind of outcome, because even if it was him, he would not easily believe such a bizarre thing.

"Do you need to go through the trouble?"

Soya and Iskar have returned, but they haven't been part of the conversation.

"Laika, there's a way to make you believe."

Laika was stunned for a moment, and turned her gaze to Iska. She had learned that Iskar possessed powerful psychic powers that she could never have imagined.

Iska smiled at Laika, then looked at Chu Tianjiang.

Laika turned her gaze to Chu Tianjiang, looking a little confused.

Of course, Chu Tianjiang understood what Iska meant, through the transformation, he could establish absolute trust with Laika, and Laika would believe anything he said. Of course, Chu Tianjiang didn't need to speak at all, because to carry out the transformation, he needed to enter Laika's consciousness. As long as Chu Tianjiang is willing, he can let Laika see his memories.

The problem is that after establishing this spiritual connection, the two can no longer be separated.

At least emotionally, Laika will have a lot of dependence on Chu Tianjiang, just like Iska and Soya.

It is precisely because of this that Chu Tianjiang rarely devotes himself to transforming others. Although he personally reformed the entire Resistance Legion, he did not engage in spiritual communication with the Legionnaires. After returning to this realm, there were only two exceptions, Iskar and Soya.

Obviously, now there is a third exception.

Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly and let Laika close his eyes.

In order to make Laika believe his words, Chu Tianjiang let go of his consciousness and let Laika enter his memory when he was transforming.

By the time the renovation was completed, it was almost dawn.

Entering Chu Tianjiang's memory is not equivalent to gaining Chu Tianjiang's concept and consciousness. For Laika, it's just an extra awareness.

Obviously, it all seemed so fake to her.

Although she no longer doubted it, it still took some time to digest the information and gradually come to terms with the ideas that were based on it.

Of course, there was no need for Chu Tianjiang to delay some more time for this.

Before dawn, the four of them arrived on the outskirts of Doom City.

If the previous Storm City and Burning Sun City can be described as "cities", then Doomsday City is a huge world.

After the establishment of the Doomsday Empire, Doom City has been the largest city on the United Continent.

Before the war, Doom City had 200 million inhabitants.

What is this concept?

More than 10,000 years ago, there were only three countries on Earth with a population of more than 200 million!

Doomsday City is more than 5,000 square kilometers in size, and 40,000 people live on each square kilometer. The city, in fact, is a forest of steel, and even on the edge of the city, the height of buildings is more than a kilometer, while in the city center, the height of all buildings is more than two kilometers. The pentagonal tower, which symbolizes the supreme authority of the empire, is 3,500 meters high, and its top is already above most of the clouds.

Although it has no walls, from a distance, Doomsday City sits on a piece of high ground.

Of course, it was not a real highland, but the foundations of the city that had been formed over hundreds of years.

At the time of its completion, Doom City was not very large. In the centuries that followed, Doomsday City underwent ten major expansions. To be precise, before the Empire imposed strict birth restrictions, Doomsday City had been expanding to accommodate more and more residents.

Before seeing Doomsday City, Chu Tianjiang had never been able to imagine what a city with 200 million people would look like.

Perhaps, "Cloudsdale" is more appropriate to describe Doomsday City.

Of course, from the grandeur of Doomsday City, it is completely conceivable how powerful and invincible the Doomsday Empire was in its heyday.

It's just that these are the glories of the past.

The current Doomsday City, in addition to the still huge urban area, has become a dead city with no life and no human figure in sight.

The city was not damaged, the buildings were all intact, but there was not a single inhabitant.

If the city also has life, then the city is completely dead.

Here, what's going on?
