Chapter 628: Blood Alliance
"At the beginning of Dragon City's journey to the Otherworld, it experienced very drastic geological changes.
"On the outskirts of Dragon City, a large number of towering mountains suddenly appeared, tearing apart the high-rise buildings that originally stood on the plains.
"In the urban area of Dragon City, there are also many places that suddenly collapsed, forming an intricate underground labyrinth, and there are bottomless cracks that lead straight to the netherworld."
"From these cracks, a mist containing mysterious power gushes out, causing many areas of Dragon City to become a chaotic battlefield that is invisible and isolated from all internal and external information.
"In fact, the Dragon City in the Earth Age was built as an extremely important military, industrial and scientific research center.
"At that time, the earth was in turmoil, world war was on the verge of breaking out, and we even considered the risk of a full-scale nuclear war.
"Underneath Dragon City, there are already massive military bases, arsenals and mothballed industrial facilities, as well as a staggering number of regular troops—all of which are prepared to rebuild their homes in a radiation-filled wasteland in the new era after all-out nuclear war.
"If the catastrophe encountered by Dragon City is just as simple as encountering a zombie virus after crossing over, relying on the strength of the regular army, it can be completely in just a few months, slow to move, rotten flesh and blood, without a single shot at all, as long as the tank crushes the zombies that can be crushed into flesh and mud, then Dragon City will not fall into the bloody era of order collapse and human nature will not fall into the later era of collapse of order and loss of human nature.
"The problem is that the things that gush out of the primeval ruins are a hundred times more terrifying than just 'zombies', and even more terrifying than the 'monsters, super beasts, and strange beasts' we are facing, which are real 'monsters'!
"Because most of the regular military forces of Dragon City are stationed underground, when Dragon City crosses, the geological structure changes abruptly, the seal of the primeval ruins is broken, and the regular army bears the brunt of the attack of the primeval virus and monsters.
"What is the specific battle situation, the 'sword' Jin Wanhao is naturally not clear.
"But from the clues of the scales and half claws, we can deduce what happened at that time - the regular army and the primeval monsters fought to the death in the underground of Dragon City, fighting until every soldier and soldier drained the last drop of blood, so that they could barely control the power of the primeval and ensure that Dragon City was not destroyed in the first year that it had just crossed.
"However, as the regular army ran out of ammunition and food, the entire army was annihilated, and the last bit of strength to maintain order was also exhausted, officially announcing the lawless end times!"
Meng Chao was thrilled when he heard it.
Aji's words solved the mystery that had plagued him for a long time.
He has been a core member of the Blue Home for some time.
I also participated in many activities to "reminisce about the good times on the earth".
One of the most important items of this kind of activity is to appreciate the strong military power of the country where Dragon City is located during the Earth Age.
It is said that the country where Dragon City is located once had one of the most powerful armies on earth.
The so-called "steel torrent" is just an exciting slogan in today's Dragon City, but in the beautiful earth era, it is an out-and-out reality.
As one of the most important military bases in the interior, Dragon City, theoretically, should have a lot of regular troops at the beginning of the crossing.
To this day, the people of Dragon City still enjoy the legacy of the arsenal and arsenal inherited from the Earth era.
Where did the regular army that should have used these weapons go, but where did the regular army that should have used these weapons go?
The caliber of the authorities is the regular army of the old era, all of whom died in the fight against the zombie virus and the flooding of the Chilong River in the early days.
But Meng Chao was skeptical.
In the early days of the crossing, the zombie virus had not yet mutated, and even if the earthlings at that time were infected with the virus and turned into zombies, they were the lowest, as Aji said, "slow in action, rotting flesh and blood, loose joints, and no wisdom".
Civilians wielding lawnmowers can drive through the zombie hordes.
Will the regular army die with this?
"Ancient monsters?"
Meng Chao muttered to himself.
Since rescuing the entire group of crossing experts at the King's Landing Hotel last time, Meng Chao has also been given the opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of the "controllable crossing technology".
The Controlled Crossing Technology Project is one of the many projects offered by the Swire Institute.
The Swire Research Laboratory was built on the Primeval Ruins.
The crossing experts have made very crazy speculations.
They believe that the reason why Dragon City will travel to the other world is because in the depths of Dragon City, a "crossing engine" is erected.
This engine can achieve 100% lossless free conversion of mass and energy, and across the high-dimensional space, the crystallization of civilization on the engine, the city, is launched to the other side of the galaxy.
In other words, Dragon City is an interstellar warship left over from an ancient civilization.
And the so-called "otherworld" is the super giant mothership of the primeval civilization, or even the planetary base.
Meng Chao didn't know how credible this assumption was.
But from the analysis of the memory fragments of the previous life, looking at the entire other world, those elves who can live for thousands of years, the fire demons who can move freely in the magma, and the dwarves who can cast divine weapons and sharp weapons are obviously very backward in the social system, no matter how you look at them, they are not like ordinary carbon-based planets, species that can be naturally generated.
It is an unbreakable fact that the Otherworld, and perhaps the Earth, have been "enlightened" by some extremely advanced primeval civilization, and its influence has continued to this day.
Then, on the periphery of the primeval ruins, there are some guards called "primeval monsters" deployed, and it is not so inconceivable that they will wake up after hundreds of millions of years in the dust.
In order to protect the Dragon City, what a thrilling and heart-wrenching fierce battle did the martyrs wag with the primeval monsters, and what a tragic price they paid?
Meng Chao clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and used the cold air to cool his hot blood, and said, "Go on, and then what?" ”
"Then, I don't know if it's because the primeval virus has been exposed to fresh air for too long, gradually depleting and weakening, or if the regular army has wiped out all the guys who are infected with the primeval virus and turned into monsters, in short, the primeval ruins have returned to dead silence, and the danger of those cracks that go straight to the netherworld has greatly decreased."
Aji said, "There are always people who are attacked by zombies outside for various reasons - such as being attacked by zombies outside, although they are not dead for the time being, but they are torn to blood, they must be infected with the zombie virus and are about to become zombies."
Or in the battle for food and water, he committed the anger of the people, provoked the people who should not be provoked, and became a dog that lost his family in fear all day long.
"There are also some people who dream in the middle of the night, they will hear some strange sounds in their dreams, and many crooked runes will appear in front of their eyes, and they can't help but have a strong curiosity and impulse to the cracks in the ground when they see strange pictures - this situation is called 'the summoning of the primeval'.
"Whenever you hear the 'primeval call', it is as if you have been hypnotized, and you will do whatever it takes to go deep into the cracks of the earth.
"In this way, the desperate people, the people who were hunted down, and the people who heard the 'primeval call', went deep into the earth.
"Although the mechanisms and prohibitions around the ancient ruins have been explored and destroyed by the regular army, and the contagiousness and lethality of the primeval virus have been greatly reduced, exploring this treacherous and forbidden place is still a matter of life and death.
"I can see from the memory fragments of Jin Wanhao, the ancient ruins are divided into different areas.
"Some areas are like intricate labyrinths that can absorb all the light, and people can only rely on hearing and touch to grope their way forward, and it is easy to get trapped in them, turning into dry bones and dust.
"Some areas are like primitive caves, the walls of the caves are engraved with countless runes, at first glance there is no danger, but each rune contains mysteries, unfathomable mysteries, easy to suck people's souls into it, there are really people in front of the runes, stupid, do not eat, drink, sleep and study, until starvation to death, into a skeleton.
"There are also some areas where there are ghost-fire-like energy clusters floating, and some of the luckier people come into contact with the energy clusters, introducing surging spiritual energy into their bodies, and instantly become first-class masters, but more unlucky ghosts are assimilated by the energy clusters, and they are instantly wiped out, and they also become fluttering ghost fires.
"There are also some areas, at first glance, which seem to be ordinary, just two tunnels with the same end, but the moment the explorer walks in, they disappear, and after three or five minutes, after reappearing, the young man who was originally twenty or thirty years old has become an old man with goosebumps, according to himself, as if he has been running wild for decades in a never-ending tunnel!
"There are even some areas, after devouring the explorer, after twenty or thirty years, he reappeared, but he is still as young as when he just disappeared, it is said that he only stayed in the ancient ruins for a short moment, and at this moment, he seemed to be teleported to the end of the galaxy, witnessing a magnificent star sea war!
"In short, the vast majority of the explorers who went deep into the primeval ruins died unexpectedly.
"But the small number of people who survived all mastered the abilities that came to be known as 'supernatural powers' to varying degrees.
"They are the first transcendents.
"Unfortunately, most of these transcendents are not good people.
"To explain it in today's life science theory, it is that in the process of going deep into the primeval ruins, their brains were seriously disturbed by the primeval magnetic field, and they saw all kinds of mysterious and indescribable things, and their spiritual defense line had long since collapsed and turned into mentally distorted madmen.
"There is no spiritual energy in the body, but there is no corresponding spiritual magnetic field to restrain it, and there is no secret method for refining the mind and will, so it cannot control the power at all, and can only become a slave of the power.
"At this time, the outside world is already a bloody jungle of lawlessness.
"These guys who have gained extraordinary power from the primeval ruins have naturally become the kings at the top of the food chain.
"And when others saw these guys showing off their martial arts and exerting all kinds of incredible abilities, they also found out that this power came from the ancient ruins, and of course they were all trying to get into the cracks in the ground to explore.
"After all, no matter how dangerous the primeval ruins are, there is a certain chance of survival, and once they survive, they can awaken extraordinary powers.
"It's a cheap life, it's better to go deep into the ground and make a desperate bet than to kill each other outside and sit still.
"The first batch of guys who went deep into the primeval ruins and tasted the sweetness naturally couldn't allow others to easily get their hands on the primeval ruins.
"In order to monopolize the exploration and development rights of the primeval ruins, the first explorers who came out of the primeval ruins alive established a huge and evil organization - this is the origin of the 'Blood Alliance'!"
