Chapter Forty-Six: The Core of the Melting Fire
"Alright. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Eve flew back to Lin Ao and them, using her magic to create four walls of ice and surround them. "Is that okay?"
"Full marks." Lin Ao smiled, "Now let's go negotiate with their leader." ”
Lin Ao and Ling slowly walked towards the FPS general in the crowd, and the people around them were still full of hatred for Lin Ao, and they raised their hands to continue attacking. But Eve froze their hands with precision.
Not far from the general, on a platform nearly ten meters above the ground, Ling, Eve and Alice grabbed Lin Ao and them, pulled them up, and led them to the general.
"You! Lin Ao! Are you going to be a traitor to humanity?! The general roared hysterically, and the M4A1 in his hand kept shooting at the impenetrable ice wall.
"No, of course not." Lin Ao shook his head and replied briefly. "I'm saving your lives. Do you think you'll be able to beat the Ocean Clan? ”
"Of course they can, they don't have much power at all!"
"Anna, how much do you think your mana will be reduced when you go ashore?"
"There's only about a fifth left." Anna replied from the side. "If they dare to go down to the ocean, we Ocean Clan will definitely repair this group of arrogant guys! Although I like humans a lot, yes......"
Lin Ao ignored Anna, who was still nagging there, and said to the general: "So, the king of the shooting game area, the king of the military, I have already heard your name. He has the strongest individual ability in shooting games, a steady mentality, and a calm judgment of the battle situation. You probably understand how much combat power is missing, right? Now, do you think you can beat them? ”
"But we can't just give up the water here! Without the water resources here, thousands of us here would not be able to survive at all! ”
"So we can only negotiate, right?" Lin Ao smiled and said, "Give up your hostility, I really came here to help you." I would also like to return to ...... our world. ”
"Can you guarantee that the angels will not subdue us?" The little guy in a special forces uniform asked.
"Spirit, what do you say? If you try to subdue, they won't be able to move right now. ”
"Of course not." Ling shook his head and extended a hand of friendship to Xiao Jue, and Eve removed the ice wall as a result. "For the time being, it's enough for me to have Lin Ao and knights as human servants, and I only trust the two of them now. So, please get along with me and become friends, okay? ”
"Friend......" Xiao Jue was a little dazed, all the weapons in his hand turned into green light and disappeared, he reached out and took Ling's hand, and asked rhetorically: "Say such words, are you really an angel......
"yes, but I ...... Hee-hee...... All in the angels will be excluded. They said I was too weak to be favored by God. Well, I think we're all God-created races. Regardless of the strength, we should all be friends. ”
Xiao Jue's surprised eyes were as dull as the first time Lin Ao heard Ling say this. He took the spirit by the hand, and the spirit fluttered his wings and pulled him up.
Xiao Jue looked down on the situation of his camp here, and everyone was full of anticrative and frightened eyes. He thought for a moment, stopped talking, and finally sighed, and shouted to the human companions around him, "It seems that we are wrong to blame Lin Ao and his ...... Master. They do have great power, and they really don't hurt our hearts. So, until things are clear, let's put aside the hostility for a moment. Let me, as a representative, negotiate with them first. ”
The hostility, the hostility that permeated the air, Lin Ao could feel it begin to dissipate little by little. Those people went from insulting and cursing to being surprised and talking.
"Mistaken? It looks like they're all so calm, it's easy to kill or subdue us and brainwash us. "So now the two kings are together? We're a little more powerful, aren't we? "It's hard to say, Lin Ao is still a servant of the angels, and he may not be on our side." "That's right, let's think about whether he will expose this location to other angels, right? Helping us is a matter of later. "Let's keep an eye on them first......
The men began to slowly disperse and began to get busy with the work at hand. However, from beginning to end, they didn't pull their eyes away from Lin Ao and the others, and thousands of pairs of eyes were staring at them.
As the leader, Xiao Jue jumped and fell to the ground from the platform in mid-air. Lin Ao and the others also removed all their defenses and followed him to the ground.
Puff puff puff ...... Quickly and flusteredly, a guy dressed in special forces ran over and said to Xiao Jue, "Cousin! I think you're mistaken. Remember when I told you about my experience when I was outside?! They are the ones who saved me! They didn't do anything to me in the forest, and after they healed me, they just let me go. So if they come now, I don't think it's going to be too big. ”
Cousin? Lin Ao glanced at this person, the equipment was indeed similar to Xiao Jue, a special forces combat uniform, ammunition and weapons hung around his waist, but his aura was obviously more than one grade lower than Xiao Jue.
"Those are the people?" Xiao Jue asked rhetorically.
"Hmm." The man nodded, "It's Lin Ao!" This self-proclaimed Lin Ao, the king of the strategic zone! ”
"You...... Could it be that person? Lin Ao couldn't recognize the man's face, but gradually recognized the AK-47 in the man's hand.
"Yes! Yes! The spirit also fluttered its wings and came to the man, looking at the man's whole body inch by inch. It's just great! You're all healed now! ”
"Haha, I didn't expect to see you so soon. I'm Da Jue, the cousin of Xiao Jue, the king of the FPS game area. But don't get me wrong, although I'm a cousin, my strength is too much worse than his. Everyone is a cousin playing games for their cousin, and I'm the opposite, hahahaha. ”
Da Jue was different from his cousin Xiao Jue's grim face at all times, and he had now completely trusted Lin Ao. It seems that it is indeed a good move to let him go before, and Da Jue is like a door to the camp here, opening the door to trust for them.
Xiao Jue listened, and his expression really eased a lot. So, he first asked: "Lin Ao, I have heard your name many times, but most of them ...... It's all bad rumors. But anyway, I trust you first, so can you get the elves over there to touch the ice first? When our machines are running again, I'll explain everything to you here. ”
"Eve." Lin Ao called softly, and Eve lifted all the magic here. The hard ice was constantly being hit by the lava, and the heat gradually melted the ice, filling the space again.
Whip & Candy ......
The simplest strategy in psychology, Lin Ao had already shown his strength before. So now with a humble attitude, half-bowing his head, hoping to gain a deeper level of trust.
"Now, the king of shooters, the king of two years as silent as I am. Can you tell us about the situation? Now I am asking you as a human being, not as a servant of angels......"
Under Xiao Jue's helmet, in a pair of thick-rimmed glasses that are a little dramatic, there are a pair of eyes full of doubt. He looked Lin Ao up and down with these eyes, and smiled: "Don't be too humble. After all, you've been king for fifteen more days than I do, and now you and your master have the strength to crush us. I'm probably pretty much the same if I take such precautions, it's better to trust you completely...... I was originally the king of the SG zone, which is the shooter area. After the angels and demons descended here, I brought my friends from the area all the way to the north, which is my shooter area. The monsters over there are relatively powerful than here, so I think this should be a better place to hide. ”
"To the north, that's Michael's area, right?" Lin Ao asked Ling, and Ling nodded.
But Xiao Jue didn't care at all: "It doesn't matter which angel controls him." Anyway, we only have to run for our lives, my shooting game area, plus the players who don't have the king in your strategy area, and some players from the central RPG area, originally nearly 5,000 people together. As a result, they met a small group of angels, and they forced some of them to disperse. Nearly 4,000 of them are left to dig tunnels using some RPG friends to get here. ”
“RPG? Is it magic? ”
"WELL, WE ALL HAVE MOST OF THE GAMECENTER ABILITIES LEFT, SO THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH DIGGING HOLES. However, when it comes to fighting, our attacks can't hurt the angels and demons in the slightest, so we can only flee first. We didn't need much food, though, so I thought I'd go underground as a hiding place. We started building this place yesterday, but they ...... it," Xiao Jue looked at Anna with almost a resentful gaze, "Those sea clans attacked, and now we are probably more than two thousand people left. ”
"Humph! We can't be blamed for this, it's clear that you harassed us and robbed us of our sacred water source in the first place! ”
Da Jue on the side couldn't look at it, and retorted: "It's just a little water, you ......"
"Cousin, you go first, just let me deal with it alone." Xiao Jue sent away the big Jue who spoiled the scenery, for fear that he would say something inappropriate again. Then he said to Lin Ao: "Come with me, I will continue to explain." ”
He led the way, and along the way he gradually descended into the human camp. In addition to the stone bridges suspended in mid-air, they connect the left and right stone walls one after another, giving them a slightly modern feel. Lin Ao felt that the human beings here were as primitive as the cave people on the top of the mountain, and the room was all perfunctory when a big hole was dug out of the wall. There are no windows, and there are tables, chairs, and beds made of mud and stones. But the amazing thing is that there are rudimentary machines in these rooms, such as rice cookers, electric lights, clocks, and so on, which are made of rough iron......
"That's amazing! What are these?! Ling looked at the things he didn't understand, and walked unconsciously to one of the "homestays", and several of the house's occupants immediately made way for them.
A mage in a mage robe, a young man in normal sportswear, and an uncle in an army uniform, Lin Ao glanced at those people and couldn't help laughing.
What is the combination of these outfits and the environment here......
"Electricity, we're converting heat into electricity." Xiao Jue pointed to the rumbling, molten slurry, large iron cans like kettles, which were also the biggest source of noise. "After penetrating the earth's crust, there is a steady flow of molten lava, so we don't have to be frozen in this cold ground in the first place. Secondly, there are some engineering students and PhDs among us, and there is no problem in using magic to build a generator. To be honest, they also said that with magic, they didn't have to worry about the molten slurry wearing less iron pieces or something, and they could make such a thing in a few casual clicks. ”
Xiao Jue leaned against the wall on one side, and his face couldn't help but show a proud expression. That's right, to be able to create such a machine, Lin Ao felt that there was no race other than humans.
"Electricity? Machine? Ling was still confused, "I don't know what it is!" But it sounds like a lot of magic! ”
"What, these are just some ordinary goods!" Anna was completely excited on the side, "I said that the most powerful human being, it must be a comic!" Animation! Game! I've never seen any race make anything like that! Hey, little brother, do you have comic books here?! I WANT TO SEE HUNTERXHUNTER! My husband didn't have it, it's really disappointing! ”
"Husband?"
"It's Lin Ao!" Anna hugged Lin Ao's arm as soon as she hugged it.
Lin Ao hurriedly broke free, panicking: "Hey, don't talk nonsense, your current identity is just my servant!" I don't want to get married yet! You don't have to get married with a mermaid! ”
"Cut ......" Anna pursed her lips, her face full of displeasure.
"Humans can still have minions?" Xiao Jue on the other side widened his eyes behind his glasses, and almost wanted to grab Lin Ao's collar and question. However, he still relaxed, pointed to the two middle-aged uncles outside, and said to Anna first: "You go there and ask, I heard that one of them has a very winding name, called Xuyuan Xuan, and the other is called Kohata Ken." Originally, they were all related to the manga and animation industries. ”
"Okay! Thank you! Dear big brother! Anna saluted Xiao Jue and ran over.
"Dear big brother......" Xiao Jue smiled, "We are only in your youth when we are a hundred years old, okay?" All right...... Let's get down to business. ”
Xiao Jue once again set his eyes on Lin Ao, the spirit and Eve, who were tinkering with electrical appliances in the room, and Alice and the Unknown Knight who were teaching them on the side to stop them from messing around.
"Electricity, but it made our life here easier. In fact, we need two more things to sustain our lives, food and water. SPEAKING OF FOOD, SINCE WE INHERITED THE GAMECENTER ABILITY, THE INTAKE IS QUITE LOW, AND WE CAN STILL SUSTAIN THE MORE THAN 2,000 PEOPLE HERE BY OCCASIONALLY GOING UP TO THE GROUND TO GATHER FRUIT AND HUNTING SOME SMALL ANIMALS. However, the water source, in addition to drinking and daily use, we also have to put it into the generator for use, and it is inefficient and extremely dangerous to collect it on the ground alone. So we have to use the underground water source here, you should understand that, Lin Ao? ”
"Hmm." Lin Ao nodded, "But I think your plan is more than that. ”
"How?" Xiao Jue smiled with a little murderous aura, waiting for Lin Ao's answer.
"You can build a machine like that. The next step is probably to set up a weapons factory and make weapons of mass destruction, right? With the blessing of various materials by magic, it is probably no problem to get a few simple cores to pop up. It just takes some time to experiment and debug. ”
"Sure enough, it's the king of the strategic zone, and you can see through such things at once. This is one of our human strongholds, and perhaps one of the most important weapons production sites in the future, and I will make this the core of the molten fire! ”
"Molten Core, nice name." Lin Ao nodded, "I guess, then you want to rely on these weapons to occupy the area above, it is doubtful whether you can defeat all the angels and demons, at least there is a stable, light-seeing hiding place to attract all humans to come and increase their strength?" ”
"Well, probably the same is planned......"
"It's not feasible." Lin Ao shook his head, "No matter how strong the human race is, it is impossible to defeat it, such a creature ......"
Lin Ao glanced at Ling with his eyes, knowing that she and Eve were happily tinkering with all kinds of electrical appliances. There were also a few brave young people who held other electrical appliances for them to play with, and explained to them to stay away by the way, and they all seemed to be attracted by Ling's innocent appearance.
For a while, no one noticed the conversation between the two kings, and Lin Ao continued with confidence: "Although the angels have been sealed with attack power, I don't think the nuclear bomb may be able to kill them, and even the high elves over there, you may not be sure of victory. What's more, I think ...... 'god', the guy who doesn't know if it's real, didn't create this world because we didn't want to use force to duel. So I'm wondering if there's any other way for us humans, and even other races, to get out of the current predicament.
"Did you think of that?"
"Sort of, but it's not the right time to say it. On the contrary, I desperately hope that you, including me, our human race, will form an alliance with the same people of the sea who are constantly worried and afraid of angels. Lin Ao said, shouting into the distance: "Come back, Anna!" ”
Anna was having a good conversation with the two middle-aged uncles in low-grade equipment over there, and when she heard Lin Ao calling him, she blushed with dissatisfaction and shouted back and said, "What! I don't want to come back, these two are very powerful characters, I want to talk to them! ”
"Now it's time to get down to business! As for your people's water sources, we're going to stay here for the night, and if you want to talk to them, there's still plenty of time. ”
"Really?"
"Of course."
"Alright then!" The mermaid princess returned to Lin Ao's side contentedly, and the two middle-aged men in the distance also smiled and waved goodbye to Anna. "I'll tell you, Lin Ao! Don't look at those two people like that, they are the original authors of several very powerful comics! I ......"
"Don't talk about that yet. I want to ask you, what exactly are the sacred waters that you are talking about? ”
"Where? You've been there too, isn't it the realm of the Blue Whale King?! ”
"Wait, two." Xiao Jue began to move under his feet, and he waved his hand, motioning for them to follow him. "I think it's more convenient for you to come to my operations command room to talk."
