Chapter 473 The Merchant

Qiu Yu said as calmly as possible, "The news that the aliens are going to do something to you is that these homeless people sold you?" ”

"Yes, they never lie, whether they are merchants or mercenaries, and they never have a bad credit history. When they told us that disaster was coming, we immediately believed most of them, paid for huge supplies, and bought more detailed information from them. It's just that this detailed information makes us doubt their words. ”

"But now it's proven to be true, right? What kind of information is it that makes it difficult for you to connect? ”

Gu Huai shook his head, "It's just a small part, more things, we have no way to prove it at all." ”

"For example?"

"For example, they say they ...... I'll start from the beginning. After we had paid a great deal for the supplies, they gave us a map, which was supposedly drawn by the wandering traders who traded with other cities and based on what they saw. When we heard about other cities, we were very excited, and that meant that there were other humans in this world. And yet they said......"

Qiu Yu received, "Say that those cities are not humans, but other civilizations." ”

Gu Huai glanced at Qiu Yu in surprise, but thinking that it had the help of a powerful force, he was quickly relieved, "Yes, on that map, there are hundreds of cities, and we are the only one that belongs to the human race." But they were sure that there were definitely other human cities here, and there were quite a few. It's just that because the distribution is relatively even, we are the only ones in this part of their exploration. ”

"Hundreds of cities, then this world is really big enough."

"It's much bigger than you think." As if to calm his mood, Gu Huai let out a long breath, "This map covers 300 billion square kilometers. And this area is only explored by the group of homeless people who have come into contact with us. According to their calculations, these 300 billion square kilometers are less than 1/10,000 of the total area of the world. ”

"Ahem, cough......" Qiu Yu choked on the cold air he had inhaled, "It's impossible." ”

"Yes, it can't be. Whether it is our observation or the basic laws of physics, there is no such huge planet in the universe. Matter of this magnitude would have collapsed into a black hole long ago. But what we feel now is gravity that is completely indistinguishable from that on Earth. Regardless of whether this is natural or man-made, the energy required to prevent the collapse alone is a cosmic terrifying number. It's hard to believe how rich a civilization would be able to afford this waste. ”

Qiu Yu nodded silently. It seems that the humans here have been in the middle of the civilization for a while, but they are still only an intermediate civilization. And those aliens who will have a war with humans, although the last resort seems amazing, but at most they are advanced civilizations. Otherwise, there would be no war, and the earth would be blown away in one breath. Taking a step back, even if they are really super civilizations, but super civilizations still have enemies from other universes, and if they are not careful, a huge civilization may be wiped out in an instant, and it is impossible to do such seemingly meaningless and extravagant things without scruples.

After ruling out all possibilities, the only two answers appeared in Qiu Yu's mind, but there was no need to discuss with Gu Huai now, just quietly listened to him.

"In addition to this abnormal size, the information about the disaster is also incredible. On the one hand, they say that we are being domesticated by the aliens who have kidnapped us, and on the other hand, they say that there are alien disasters among us. Aliens will find out if there is a city in this world that threatens them through a means that transcends the law, and if they do, they will destroy it with the power that the city itself possesses. ”

"Why is it the power of the city itself?"

"We also asked the wandering traders this question, but their answer was very strange, saying that every time aliens directly intervene in this world, they may be discovered by a more powerful force. Once the world is activated, they will never be seen again as much as possible. Even the aliens in the police station are just doglegs selected by the aliens who created this world in this world. ”

Qiu Yu suddenly asked, "Have you ever heard of the transgressors?" ”

The two of them, who had been talking to Qiu Yu fluently, suddenly became dazed. This in itself is the answer that Qiu Yu wants.

The means of transcending the law to find the threat, most of them are those who have prophetic abilities. And meddling in this world is likely to be discovered, and it is mostly the power of the weaver of fate.

This message means that the enemy is strong, but it also means that because the world is constrained by a stronger enemy, it is difficult for them to directly interfere with it.

Choosing this place as a place to play can save a lot of power for regulators, and for humans, there is more room for exertion. As long as the heart is big enough, then the harvest will also be amazing.

Qiu Yu's eyes lit up and said, "Forget about this question, you can continue." ”

Gu Huai broke away from his dazed state and hammered his forehead strangely, "Although we have doubts about the words of the wandering merchant, we dare not believe it. In order to prevent the aliens from using our power to destroy us, we have given them all the powerful weapons. ”

Qiguangguo exclaimed, "No wonder I said that our heavy weapons are not enough, it turned out to be handed over to the wandering merchants!" Why give it to them? ”

"Because they say they have the ability to get out of the city. Believing that disaster is imminent, we have only two options: destroy those weapons, or pay a part of the price and let them take care of them for us. It's a pity that those aliens have long had the means to deal with this situation. We have no weapons to destroy ourselves, and they turn us into weapons. ”

Qiu Yu asked, "Haven't you ever hired wandering mercenaries to protect the city?" ”

Yes, but their reply was that they couldn't give accurate pricing before the disaster happened. After they confirm the price, they will come back. ”

Qiguangguo scoffed, "What do you mean by accurate pricing?" Obviously, they want to see if they can afford to wade through this troubled water. ”

Hearing this, Qiu Yu was becoming more and more unclear about the location of the homeless man. It's not like the regulators made it up for this game, and it's not like they've been bound here by aliens. But their behavior has two possible characteristics.

"It's out."

Qiguangguo's cry summoned Qiu Yu, who was slightly distracted.

Looking in the direction of the munitions factory he was looking at, a soldier was waving to it. It's not a call for help, it's an expression, mission accomplished.
