Core Nation

Although the space inside the earth is not large, it is not much different from the outside in general.

This limited space actually prompted the civilization and technology tree living here to develop as much as possible in the direction of space, and entered the cosmic age before the creatures on the ground.

Originally, they were born in a scorching environment, and this can be determined by looking at the ground, those environments that resemble ice crystals, not because of cold, but because of overheating.

Perhaps it is due to the excessive use of energy, which causes all the heat to be used up and the temperature to change rapidly.

The drop in the temperature of the earth's core has also affected the human beings living on the ground, but fortunately, the technology of human society has developed into the universe, and the resources are not only limited to thermal energy.

The effects of geothermal decline are far more than that, and if humans had not looked at the universe, they might have been inadvertently and completely destroyed by the inhabitants of the earth's core.

During the surrounding reconnaissance, the group also found more remnants of buildings.

It was a lot of cities built in suspended space, but they were all buried in heavy snow.

In the so-called sky, there are snowflakes from time to time, and there are many well-packaged goods in those dilapidated windows.

I picked up a bag of potato chips made of some kind of plant, and it said that the expiration date was 3055, but I don't know how their date was calculated.

When he opened the bag, the fragrance inside made Ma Yang couldn't help but take a bite, and the taste was actually good, comparable to the taste of potato chips on the ground.

"Please pay...... Please pay ......" The artificial intelligence salesperson at the front desk was still reminding Ma Yang to take the food without paying.

It doesn't seem to have been abandoned for long, and the dust on the shelves is still acceptable.

Their group of strange creatures walked in the wide city streets, looking particularly funny little pigs walking upright, Ma Yang with a long sword on his shoulders and lying on his shoulders with white mice, strange snakes with long hands, small towers bouncing up, and stone tablets floating quietly.

The distance between the buildings is very tight, and you can clearly see through the windows, and most of the furnishings inside are still neat, except that some of the windows are broken, as if they have been smashed with blunt objects from the outside.

The facility previously seen on the wasteland outside the city uses energy from some kind of nuclear radiation, bearing the marks of the Cult of the Source God.

The silver barracuda sent them here because of the uneasiness factor, he wanted to take revenge on the human race completely, and under the fortress he built, such an inexplicable city would not be allowed.

But no one expected that when they came to the core of the earth, it would be a mysterious country.

Looking at the rigorous layout of the city, it is clear that these residents have extremely sophisticated instruments to measure, and they advance and retreat in a measured manner.

There are many low-rise bungalows that are about to collapse due to heavy snowfall, and the sound of destruction around me makes it look a little desolate.

Although I know that similar situations happen all the time in the universe, when I actually stand here, I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

"Human, can you imagine that the environment in which you live will one day become like this?

？ The strange snake's emotions are much more delicate, and his eyes can't help but shed tears.

Ma Yang shook his head, if the human race was destroyed, there would definitely not be such a complete ruin.

Are they all gone? There should be many more of them on the scale of this city, and from the place where you entered, you can still see two adjacent ones.

The supply of energy was lost, and the protective shield on the periphery disappeared, but because of the cold, there was no smell of decay.

Piggy is a solid member of the Optimist, and now he is the only one who is jumping around, and he wants to go in and check out the buildings along the way.

But the action is relatively clumsy, so I have to shout to the white mouse to help investigate.

"Ma Yang! The food in this house seems to be a little warm! In the courtyard of a three-story villa in the distance, Piggy found the food on the table, which was still warm.

Before everyone rushed over, under the ground in the courtyard, a large net suddenly rose to catch the piglet, and the white mouse moved very fast, which was able to avoid the attack of the net.

As soon as he breathed a sigh of relief, a heavy blow came from behind, and he fell to the ground in front of him.

The strange snake saw that his companion was caught, and just wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Ma Yang.

"For whatever reason, we have no intention of harming you." Walking towards the two people who came out of the courtyard, Ma Yang explained loudly.

"Needless to say, I can hear it." The taller one holds the white mouse in his hand and takes a closer look.

Looking at these two people, their stature is comparable to that of humans, but their faces have no eyes, which looks a little abrupt at first glance.

The other party was also observing Ma Yang, and the vigilance at the beginning disappeared when he saw that Ma Yang and the others had eyes.

"Benny, they're not pickets, put the guy in the net pocket down."

The shorter one came to the courtyard wall to control the mechanism, and the net pocket suspended in mid-air was put down, and the little pig was thrown into pieces.

"Then it seems that we don't need to do anything, can you let us go into the hospital and sit?" Ma Yang asked for the other party's consent and walked into the courtyard to sit down.

As the voice came out, more than a dozen people came out of the room one after another, and what they all had in common was that they had no eyes.

Sure enough, there are living beings in this core! Ma Yang tried to relax as much as possible and sat on the chair.

The chairs are not made of metal, but are made of minerals, and it is not clear what the other party is for, but it is certain that the other party is afraid.

"What are the pickets you were talking about?" The strange snake asked first, the appearance of several of them, Ma Yang is still half a normal person, because Ma Yang has eyes, he is only half.

Among the more than a dozen people, the leader is a guy whose right arm has been transformed into an electronic display device, and the values on it are still changing.

"My name is Mu Kun, I have never seen each other, we have a bit of an overreaction, please understand."

His tone was soft, with obvious apologies.

And the monitor on the arm was also swept in front of everyone, and the value on it did not change drastically, so they were relieved.

“

Why are there still people living in the ruins? Didn't you all move out of the space? Ma Yang asked.

"The energy of the earth's core is limited, and after all the energy is consumed, we, the people, will be left here forever." Mu Kun replied a little lonely.

If it weren't for his modified electronic arm, it would have been almost impossible for them to survive here.

After losing most of their energy, the environmental situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and every time they reach the night in their biological clock (their night and day, they are distinguished by noise, as if they don't feel their presence when they are quiet around now, that is, at night, there will be a subtle sound like the chirping of insects during the day. ）

At night, it produces mild radiant winds, which are not fatal, as the core dwellers are highly resistant to radiation, but they can also cause loss of appetite and diarrhea.

"Subordinates? The environment in the earth's core is so bad, will it be graded? "Piggy woke up, he hated being treated in layers.

The human society, which has sufficient materials on the ground, cannot avoid treating this matter in layers, and I walked around the city in the core of the earth, but I didn't see a single living thing.

The dozen or so people on the other side were the only living creatures they had seen since they came here for two or three days.

"The worse the environment, the more the villains have to seize all the resources, and now they are still building equipment to escape from this place, so they are sweeping the city more frequently!" Benny, the little man from earlier, said angrily on the side.

"We have a way to get you out, there are humans living on the ground who look about the same as me." As soon as Ma Yang finished speaking, he sensed that something was wrong with the other party's atmosphere.

Benny's tone was even more urgent, "Brother Mu, they should have all been arrested and used as food at that time!" He's human! None of them are good stuff either! ”

These core people are also full of resentment towards the humans on the ground, but fortunately, this resentment has only accumulated in recent years.

"Don't worry about this now, our compatriots will leave you alone." Someone reproached.

Mu Kun explained, "Your machines sometimes get in and want to drill into the core, and the roar is in our sky. ”
