Chapter Eighty-Four: The Chief
Perpetual wandered around like this, taking a leisurely walk like the other victors, but if you looked closely, you could see that it was getting farther and farther away from the hive in the middle of the icemelt zone.
That's right, after learning that it couldn't get help from its kind, it planned to quietly leave the ice melt in such an unobtrusive way.
However, just as he was about to leave, Perpetual was suddenly stopped in the channel.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"I was going to go out for a walk."
As a perpetual accident, it was stopped by a victor who was also in a state of wandering with nothing to do.
Normally, no gray or swarthy gatherer would dare to stop or talk to Sustainability, because it can only be the winner of the same level.
At this point, Perpetual is only a short distance from the edge of the icemelt zone, and a sprint can be made to the outside.
Forever hesitated, and if he forcibly ran out, it would seem very abnormal.
The gatherer who called the perpetual one could feel the hesitation of the perpetual, but it didn't feel anything, and it was dangerous to go out alone, perhaps because it was struggling with whether to go out or not.
As for asking about the purpose of leaving the ice melting zone? I'm sorry, but the average IQ of the collector is not high enough to think of this stubble.
"There's a lot of danger outside, so I'll go out in a team with a few other people, right?"
"Uh......"
The other party's suggestion makes the perpetual even more entangled, the perpetual go out is to leave this place completely, but according to what the other party said, isn't it completely meaningless to go out in a team?
If you can't make a plan, you can go up again, and you will always want to agree first, and then wait outside to find a chance to take advantage of it.
However, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, God seems to be really against it, and new information comes from the channel, and this time the message is broadcast in the channel.
"All the victors assemble in the sacred place of the Great Settlement."
This information can be regarded as a complete severance of the escape plan this time, and it should be understood from the information that there should be a more urgent situation, and if you insist on going out at this time, it is undoubtedly very suspicious.
"Let's go, if it's late, you'll have to stay on the periphery."
Hearing the urging, Perpetual had no choice but to go with the gatherer in the direction of the hive in the ice melting area.
The so-called 'sacred place' naturally refers to the beehive in the icemelt area.
Perpetual was soon led to the top floor of the hive, where there was a platform made of stone slabs, and the main support was the titanium alloy cone on the skin of the hive.
A huge column of smoke gushes out of the mouth at the top, a cloud of water vapor formed by the heating of liquid water, and it is in this way that the hive heats up the planet.
When Perpetual came here, there was already a bunch of victors gathered here, surrounding the pillar of smoke, forming a circular formation, and they were all silent, as if waiting for something.
Soon, Perpetuals knew what they were waiting for.
From the edge of the top mouth of the hive, a tentacle wrapped around a titanium alloy cone at the edge of the mouth, and a collector crawled out of the top mouth of the hive.
"It can't be......"
To be honest, Perpetual is indeed shocked from the bottom of my heart, the high temperature of the water vapor cloud pillar is nothing, because the Plutozoic period was full of boiling water, and the collector can adapt to it, however, the problem is that the cavitation effect brought by the water vapor cloud pillar is almost the same as the land in the enveloping area, without any buoyancy, and the perpetual does not understand the principle, but deeply understands this truth.
In other words, the other party climbed up from inside the hive by relying only on their own tentacles!
It's like an ordinary person seeing a strong man carrying an object weighing nearly a ton stiffly, it's like refreshing the three views.
The gatherer crawled out as if nothing had happened, speaking in the channel.
"Today, I have called you here for something important to say."
"The Cameron Settlement has issued a notice to us asking our Masaka Settlement to hand over all the food as a tribute for the first meeting as a sign of submission, and the subsequent tribute is to spend the maximum amount of food in the ice melting area to meet our own needs."
"It's too ......"
Before the victor could finish speaking, he didn't know what had been pierced and died cleanly.
And the gatherer, who seemed to be the leader of the large settlement, kept the throwing motion.
"I told you the rules, right? How do you always have guys stepping on the line. ”
"Again, I'm not allowed to intervene until I'm done announcing something, you know?"
The leader of Masaka seemed to take this for granted, and didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, and the tone of the channel seemed to be teasing some trivial matter.
Perpetual only feels like the cold hairs stand on end, if it has hair.
However, this strange state of it did not attract attention, because it was not the only one who showed this emotion, but almost all the onlookers who were victorious were expressing fear.
This is exactly what the Masaka leader wants, to maintain absolute rule with fear, and after scanning a week to make sure that it is the result he wants, it continues to speak.
"The guys on Cameron's side don't take us Masaka seriously at all, they are looking for death, they have to pay for it, I decide, kill the victors there and rob them of the heat source."
"When I'm done, you can speak."
The words of the leader of Masaka undoubtedly opened the chatter box that the victors had been holding back for a long time, and suddenly there was a mess in the channel.
"Prepare your weapons, kill those idiots who can't do anything, and show them what the glory of Masaka is!"
"Snatch! Snatch! ”
"With that, we have a new source of heat! Excited! ”
At this moment, the Masaka chief spoke again.
"Silence!"
Suddenly, the channel once again returned to a silent environment, the majesty of the leader could not be violated, and the temperature of the victor who had just died had not completely cooled down.
"I want meaningful discussions, the kind that will help in the follow-up battles, use your lazy brains, and shut up any nonsense."
The leader's remarks set the rules in the channel, and the victors began to discuss attacking the Cameron settlement.
"Cameron's ice melting area is ten times larger than ours, and the number of victors supported is much higher than ours, plus there are a few settlements under his command, and the number of enemies fighting against us will definitely increase several times."
"Well, that's true."
The leader of Masaka agreed with this view, and it was not possible to occupy the position of leader by strong strength alone, but also to have a well-functioning brain and sufficient self-knowledge.
To what extent the Masaka settlement can go, the Masaka chieftain is well aware.
Affirmed by the chief, the speaker continued.
"So, to beat Cameron, we need to give us an advantage in other areas, smooth out their strengths, close the gap, and even create a gap to make the fight more favorable to our side."
