Chapter 32: The Colosseum
"Uncle, Xiaoyu is going to sleep with Sister Xiaoya today, go back quickly!"
Thinking that he was driven out of the door by his own fish in the end, Lu Fan returned to the signal tower in the depressed mood of 'accidentally the fish was abducted', and came to Lu Xiaoyu's room, looking at the huge princess bed full of dolls, Lu Fan's heart was rarely filled with a trace of melancholy and loneliness.
You know, he used to sleep with his own fish in the dead of night...... cough cough cough, don't get me wrong, Lu Fan still understands the highest death penalty or something, so it's just Lu Xiaoyu sleeping Lu Fan meditating next to him.
However, now, the only person he cares about in this strange world has run away, Lu Fan opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say it but turned into a slightly helpless sigh, and then, Lu Fan silently turned around and walked out of the room.
In fact, Lu Fan can also understand Lu Xiaoyu's behavior, he used to run outside all day, and after he came back, he only slept with Lu Xiaoyu, and sometimes he couldn't even say a few words at the end of the day, although Lu Xiaoyu was accompanied by Dabai, and now he has Mo Caiwei, but in the end, Lu Xiaoyu relied on him the most.
However, now, when Lu Fan finally had time to accompany his own fish, he suddenly found that his fish had others to rely on, and he was no longer needed so much.
For Lu Fan's current mood, to paraphrase a classic line of Xing Ye - I once had a sincere dependence in front of me, but I didn't cherish it, and I didn't regret it until I lost it, if God gave me another chance, I would sing a song to my own fish - come back quickly~! I can't bear it anymore~!
Although Lu Fan can also be in Li Xiaoya's house, not to mention that there are only two rooms in someone's house, even if there is a third, he is not suitable to be there, he is the lord of the City of Angels, and he is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who has just come to the City of Angels, although her parents are there, if Lu Fan really wants to do something, her parents will definitely not be able to stop it, and may not even stop it.
Of course, Lu Fan definitely wouldn't want to do something, but others definitely wouldn't think so!
People are terrible, although Lu Fan doesn't care, but he also has to think about other people's little girls, right?
Therefore, Lu Fan became a loner.
……
In today's City of Angels, although Lu Fan is the city lord, he is elusive all day long, and there are really not many people he knows, except for the Xiao family sisters, there are only Lu Xiaoyu's teacher Mo Caiwei and Mo Caiwei's two daughters, these are undoubtedly not suitable people to find at night.
Now that his fish have run away, Lu Fan is not even in the mood to meditate and comprehend the exercises, thinking about it, Lu Fan decided to go to Tietou to chat and spend this lonely night together.
After coming to the top floor of the signal tower, as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Lu Fan's ears heard the sound of an iron head.
"Your Excellency Marquis, I have just received a communication from several human forces with a response to our immigration plan, would you like to hear it?"
Lu Fan was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it for a while, he waved his hand and said, "I won't listen, you can do it with Da Xiao and Xiao Xiao." ”
This is not to say that Lu Fan wants to be lazy and be a shopkeeper, but because Lu Fan feels that it is more appropriate to hand over this kind of matter to Tietou and the Xiao family sisters than his own blind command, Lu Fan feels that his role is to come forward to be a thug when facing a danger that Tietou can't handle.
"Yes, Your Excellency Marquis."
Then, Lu Fan stretched slightly, stepped to the floor-to-ceiling window, and set his eyes on the glorious city below and the large number of engineering robots that were still busy everywhere even in the middle of the night.
After watching quietly for a while, Lu Fan suddenly asked with a distracted expression: "Iron Head, if this Starry Sky Fortress is really built, how big is it?" ”
As soon as Lu Fan's words fell, the neutral voice of the iron head sounded closely: "Your Excellency, measured by the weights and measures of human civilization in this world, the body diameter of the enhanced Titan-class starry sky fortress is 15,365.4 million kilometers, or 0.001624 light years, considering the enveloping characteristics of the subspace life field and the large space blocking device, the shape of the fortress is perfect spherical, and if you take into account the garrison fortress and the jurisdiction of the Celestial Domain, this range will be expanded by three to five times." ”
After listening, Lu Fan still maintained a distracted expression, and only then shook his head and smiled, his limited knowledge could not make him imagine how big the starry sky fortress described by Tie Tou was, but it was undoubtedly beyond the cognition of human civilization.
And listening to Tietou, there are many such starry sky fortresses in the Cangnan Federation, and the Cangnan Federation is only a fifth-level interstellar civilization, such civilizations are as many as stars in countless multiverses, and even more advanced civilizations than the Cangnan Federation are as many as the sand of the Ganges.
Compared with these, the human civilization that Lu Fan knows is really too small, and it can't even talk about civilization.
Thinking of his original world, there were more than 200 countries on a small planet, large and small, and there were disputes from time to time, Lu Fan suddenly had the urge to laugh.
"Perhaps, this is the so-called sitting in the well and watching the sky. If those governments had understood the vastness of the outside world, they might have rallied some......"
Just when Lu Fan fell into an inexplicable emotion, the voice of the iron head suddenly came.
"Your Excellency the Marquis, I have discovered something interesting."
Lu Fan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then turned around and looked at the iron head body in the middle of the room, and said with interest: "What's the matter, tell me about it." ”
Being able to be called interesting by the artificial intelligence of Iron Head and specifically telling him to it means that this matter is unexpected by Iron Head, and it may be related to him or that he needs to intervene to solve it.
At the right time, a light screen appeared in front of Lu Fan, and the picture in the light screen was a starry sky, which should be located somewhere in the earth's low earth orbit if you looked closely, and in this empty starry sky, the point in the center was deliberately marked with a red circle.
Looking at the empty starry sky in front of him, Lu Fan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and just as he wanted to ask, Tietou's explanation came closely.
"Your Excellency Marquis, the other party has used a camouflage similar to optical camouflage, and with my current information collection ability, I can't project it."
Since the establishment of the City of Angels, the signal tower where the iron head body is located has been increasing, and even more than just heightening, the bottom of the signal tower has also been extending downward, and correspondingly, the information collection ability and coverage of the iron head have also been strengthened and expanded.
Now, according to Ironhead, this range has even spread to the vicinity of Earth-Moon orbit.
However, it is only now that the iron head has discovered this unknown object located near low earth orbit, and has not been able to project the other party, which means that the other party's technology or technical strength must be beyond the human civilization in this world.
Thinking of this, Lu Fan subconsciously asked, "Aliens?" ”
"In a sense, His Excellency the Marquis's judgment is not wrong."
Lu Fan blinked a little inexplicably: "What do you mean?" ”
Tietou didn't answer Lu Fan's question immediately, but instead talked about seemingly unrelated things.
"Your Excellency Marquis, according to the recent research of the Institute of Biological Genetics on the creature named Aragami in this world, the evolution of this creature has recently suddenly shown an abnormal leap and variability, which has gone beyond the genetic expression of the suspected low-level starry sky giant beast variant cell Oracle Cell that constitutes the creature of Aragami, and also beyond the genetic expression of the original creatures on this planet, in other words, it has been affected by the genes of organisms that obviously do not belong to this planet, And this effect is clearly deliberate. ”
Lu Fan blinked again, and after thinking for a while, he touched his chin with one hand and said, "You mean to say that these aliens did it?" ”
Tietou still didn't answer Lu Fan's question, but talked about something that seemed unrelated.
"Your Excellency Marquis, I wonder if you know that there is something called the Colosseum?"
Lu Fan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "I know this, it's the kind of thing that is round, surrounded by high platforms, and two beasts or people are put down there to fight and let the people in the seats watch and have fun, right?" ”
"That's right, Your Excellency Marquis, you are indeed talking about a kind of Colosseum, this kind of thing seems to be common in the primitive civilization period of the human race, and even not only the human race, but also in the primitive civilization period of many other races."
Lu Fan shrugged his shoulders when he heard this: "It's normal, didn't anyone say that?" Blood and carnage are catalysts for the progress of civilization. ”
"Your Excellency, war is the catalyst for the progress of civilization."
Lu Fan's face froze, and then he smiled wryly: "It's almost the same, don't care about these details." Anyway, what does this have to do with what those aliens do? ”
Without testing the ink in Lu Fan's stomach again, Tietou immediately explained: "Your Excellency Marquis, although civilization has progressed, blood and killing are still the excitement hidden in the depths of many racial genes. Moreover, compared to the primitive beast and beast, beast and man fighting, the Colosseum in the space is undoubtedly more diverse, and if the Marquis is interested, he can find out for himself after returning to the space. ”
Lu Fan twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, as a person who was born in a civilized society and was still a relatively peaceful country, he really didn't have much interest in it, but he didn't say anything but quietly waited for the final answer given by Tietou after going around in such a big circle.
"Although there are various forms, there is no doubt that the topic of fighting is inseparable, at most there will be some differences between 'beasts' and 'people' and the forms of fighting, and the 'beasts' should be the purpose of those aliens as His Excellency the Marquis thinks. In short, this planet should have been unfortunate enough to be chosen by the people involved in a Colosseum in space as a place to cultivate 'beasts' for fighting beasts. ”
After listening, a hint of surprise flashed in Lu Fan's eyes, but then he frowned, although he had guessed the cruelty of space and the law of the jungle, but the act of treating a planet with life as a Gu cultivation Gu altar was undoubtedly unacceptable to him now, because it represented the disappearance of tens of millions or even billions of lives, especially when these lives were mainly represented by human beings.
For Lu Fan, who used to be a human being, this is simply a blasphemy of life.
What Lu Fan didn't expect was the news that Tietou would tell him next.
"Your Excellency Marquis, I am very sorry to tell you that half an hour ago, the three human survival bases named 'Black Dragon City', 'Qin Emperor City', and 'Jiujiang City' have all been wiped out in the hands of three creatures with thousands of dangers, because I didn't have time to inform you because of the sudden incident."
Lu Fan's face changed when he heard this, the three survival bases represented the lives of millions of human beings.
At the right time, the ruins of three cities appeared, or three huge tombs, a mountain peak that was completely collapsed by wind and snow, a giant sinkhole faintly surrounded by magma red light, and a city completely wrapped in ice crystals.
Lu Fan didn't blame Tietou for this, because he knew that Tietou wouldn't lie to him, and it could be seen from the picture that these disasters were really as sudden and irresistible as natural disasters, even if Tietou notified him in time, it was impossible for him to stop it.
He is not a god yet.
Although Lu Fan did not blame, Tietou was still a little reluctant and explained:
"Your Excellency Marquis, these creatures are all based on the asora of this planet and have a very high degree of compatibility with the oracle cells, the situation of the oracle cells is everywhere on this planet, with only my current information gathering ability, it is difficult for me to observe them remotely without using their power, I apologize for not being aware of their existence in time."
Lu Fan was silent for a moment, and shook his head slightly: "I don't blame you, I can only say that these guys are worthy of the name of natural disasters, even if you notice it, I won't have time to stop it." Speaking of this, Lu Fan sighed softly: "Alas~! It seems that our immigration plan has to be accelerated. ”
"Your Excellency, the immigration plan must be accelerated, for the needs of the beasts, the instinct engraved in the genes of these deliberately cultivated creatures is to kill, if they are allowed to run wild, the vast majority of the human beings on this planet will die."
Lu Fan couldn't help but nodded: "That's right, the human civilization in this world alone obviously has no ability to compete with this kind of monster, and we can't save it if it's too far away, so we still get our safety." ”
Just when Lu Fan was about to call the Xiao family sisters late at night to discuss how to speed up the progress of the immigration plan, Tietou suddenly informed Lu Fan of a more urgent news.
"Your Excellency Marquis, the problem now is that one of these three creatures is hiding underground and cannot be tracked, and the other two, one is coming towards us, and the other is heading towards the human survival base called Jinling City."
Lu Fan's face changed, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Iron Head, can you handle the one that comes?" ”
Even if it is given such an ugly name, now it dares to question its ability, if it has a body, the iron head will definitely give Lu Fan a big white eye.
"Your Excellency Marquis, do you need me to take down those aliens as well?"
Lu Fan was also stunned for the words of the iron head, but then he smiled indifferently, and after thinking about it, a fierce color flashed in his eyes: "No, you take care of them, wait for me to come back and deal with it personally!" ”
As the words fell, Lu Fan had already flown out of the signal tower along the floor-to-ceiling window that had already been opened by the iron head, and after looking at the location information transmitted by the iron head from his watch, his figure instantly turned into a blood-colored streamer and flew towards the southeast.
