Chapter 50 (II) The Creator
After Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi took the car out of the adaptation area, they went to the fusion area, but they didn't stop at the fusion area and drove directly under the big gate in the fusion area.
Approaching the top of the cave, the towering gate is flanked by dam-like reinforced concrete walls at a 75-degree angle and covered with moss-like plants that make it impossible to climb up the slope.
The walls on both sides of the gate have been hollowed out, and every 5 meters there is a guard post that can stand 2-3 people, and in addition to light and heavy machine guns, there are high-pressure water cannons and searchlights.
"Two years ago, a group of madmen tried to break through here and enter the living quarters, but the soldiers of the Shandu Defense Army did not shoot, but let them climb, and in the end, six of them died because they stepped on the moss, and the others returned in vain." The secret envoy sitting in front of him said softly, and pointed to the moat under the wall and in front of the fusion zone, "Originally, some officers suggested that they should simply raise some crocodiles, lizards, piranhas, etc. in the river, but I rejected it, because it would be cruel to do so, people, they always want to go to higher places, as long as they understand that they need to use the right method." β
Tang Shuxing looked at the secret envoy's shoulder and asked, "The right way?" β
"yes, like the two of you." The envoy smiled, "If you make meritorious service, you will be able to enter the next area, and you will have a better living environment than before." β
Tang Shuxing just smiled and didn't say anything.
The large gate slowly rises to the point where the car can enter, and then stops, and the car slowly passes through the entrance and exit under the gate, and when it enters the living quarters, the front of the car suddenly becomes clear, and then when you look up, you can't see the top of the cave at all, only the sky like the outside world, and there are floating white clouds in the air, and flocks of birds that spread their wings from time to time.
Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi couldn't help but open the window and poke their heads out to look at the sky. I think it's incredible.
"This is the living quarters." The envoy looked sideways at the two of them in surprise.
The living quarters are a replica of the modern metropolis of the above-ground world, with countless streets, leading in all directions, all of which eventually extend into the depths of the cave.
"The actual area of the living area is several times larger than the adaptation area and the integration area combined." The envoy motioned for the driver to reduce the speed of the car, so that the two of them could appreciate it.
There are very few people on the streets, not as dense as the population of the adaptation zone and the integration zone, just like the streets on the first day of the Lunar New Year in China.
Modern building. There is also a bus stop with a display screen underneath the building. There are traffic lights hovering in mid-air at the intersection. There are also drones hovering nearby for surveillance, and there are even modern banks on the streets, as well as a number of facilities that look exactly like the outside world.
"And shopping malls?" When the car passed in front of a building, Tang Shuxing couldn't help but say.
The size of the square is not large, though. But it's a miracle to be able to build it in this underground cavern, and from time to time you can see people carrying things out of it, heading to the parking lot and driving home in a miniature electric car.
"It's a completely different world from the adaptation zone and the convergence zone." Gu Huaiyi looked at the electric car outside the window that was parallel to them, all waiting for the red light.
The men and women in the front row of the car seemed nervous and did not dare to turn their heads to look at their "luxury" sedan, which was twice as large. waited until the green light came on, and the electric car did not start, but waited for the car that Gu Huaiyi and others were riding in to leave for a long time, and then the electric car started slowly. Walking quickly to the right, it seems that he knows that there is a big man sitting in the car, so he deliberately avoids it.
"Not only are people divided into three, six, and nine, but even the living area is divided into three, six, and nine,......" Tang Shuxing sat behind and pretended to be nonchalant.
The envoy laughed and sat down looking straight in front of the car. Asked: "Tang Shuxing, then tell me, in the outside world, is there any country that does not have a difference between three, six, nine, and so on?" Is there any country that does not have the distinction between rich areas and slums? As he spoke, the envoy turned his head to look at him, "Do you want to talk about the United States?" β
Tang Shuxing shook his head, and the secret envoy said: "As long as there are people, creatures, and civilizations, there will definitely be hierarchical distinctions. In the long course of history, human beings have created countless ideas and isms, and the ultimate ideal is to eliminate hierarchies, but in fact, it is just an ideal. Because to eliminate hierarchies, only when we return to the initial form of primitive society, only at that time, when everyone is not well fed and clothed, and faces death at any time, will we understand that everyone is the same poor worm, and it is a very sad thing to divide the ranks, but ......"
The envoy laughed for a while, and then said, "After human beings begin to gradually understand how to survive and establish their own groups and circles, hierarchies will naturally appear, and the identities of masters and slaves will also begin to oppose each other. β
What the envoy wants to say is that there is almost no difference between this place and the outside, except that all they do is to be hypocritical to the outside and honest to the inside. In the outside world, most people believe that this is paradise, and only those who live in this world will know that the so-called paradise is also cruel, and the dreams given by Shangdu are also clearly in front of them, and they will not use the so-called government propaganda concept to give people false spiritual food.
After going deep into the center of the living area, the number of people began to gradually increase, and the people living here were dressed no different from the outside world, and they did not adapt to the strange clothes of some gang characters in the area, everyone was very decent, with a smile, and knew etiquette, a scene where the man was a gentleman and the woman was a lady.
The car came to a steady stop in front of a tower, and the envoy beckoned the two men to get out of the car, and then two teams of soldiers from the Shandu Defense Force stepped forward and began to conduct a strict inspection of the car, then led the car to a safe parking lot, and then led them to a small room under the tower.
The small room is the external entrance to the tower, and only people can enter, not any vehicles. Inside the room is a large open space, which is separated by a five-meter-high explosion-proof glass wall, and in the center of the open space is the tall tower that resembles an NDA sequence.
The three of them were strictly inspected in the small room, even the secret envoys, but the strange thing was that Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi's Dragon Lin Blade and Yin Bee were allowed to bring them in.
"The Creator is there." The envoy stood there looking up at the tower and said, "He is waiting for you. β
"The Creator is the regulator of the living quarters?" Tang Shuxing asked suspiciously, didn't he understand why the so-called Creator Lord was in the living area, and it stands to reason that he shouldn't be in the Thanksgiving Zone or a place like the Heavenly Fire Forbidden Zone?
"Nope." The envoy shook his head, "The Creator won't be in charge of such tedious work, go ahead, I'll wait for you here." β
"You don't have to go?" Gu Huaiyi looked at the secret envoy and asked.
The envoy shook his head: "The Creator only sees you. β
Say goodbye to the envoy for the time being. Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi walked along the stone path that extended to the bottom of the tower, and found that the open space next to the stone path seemed to be transparent, and there was something faintly below, but they couldn't see clearly.
Came to the bottom of the tower, where a small door opened automatically, and the two looked at each other and slowly walked in, and then the small door closed tightly, and the originally dark tower lit up with white light. From the outside, the tower seems to be transparent and colorful, but you can only see it when you walk in. Everything in the tower is milky white. The light emanates directly from the walls, tables and chairs.
There are no stairs to go up. There was no elevator either, nothing but a table and the weird-looking chair behind it.
"What?" Tang Shuxing looked around, raised his feet and walked forward. With every step you take, you find your own clear footprints on the floor, and the footprints glow a pale blue light, as if you have touched some kind of light source on the ground.
"It's a mystery." Gu Huaiyi walked in the other direction.
Just as the two of them were moving in two directions at the same time, and when they looked around, a whirlpool suddenly appeared on the ground where they were standing before, and a person slowly rose up from the whirlpool, but it was Iron Fang, the controller of the fusion zone, that is, the monster that now controlled Wei Xuanyu's body.
Iron Tooth controlled Wei Xuanyu's body. Standing there, he twisted his head mechanically, looked left and right at the backs of Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi, then chose Tang Shuxing, raised his feet and walked silently behind him. Like a ghost.
"Hey, anyone?" Tang Shuxing raised his voice and shouted.
Gu Huaiyi turned his head to look at Tang Shuxing, and as soon as he turned around, he saw the iron teeth that came out of nowhere, and subconsciously shouted: "Second sentence, behind you!" β
Tang Shuxing immediately turned around, and the moment he turned around, the iron teeth behind him also took a step forward, almost close to Tang Shuxing's face, and at the same time asked in a low and strange voice, "What about the holy relics you brought back?" β
Tang Shuxing was so frightened that he took four or five steps back in a row, looked at Iron Tooth, and said for a long time, "Why are you here?" β
"What about the relics?" Iron Tooth just asked, his gaze constantly moving over the various pockets on Tang Shuxing's clothes.
"I will only give it to creation...... Creator Lord. Tang Shuxing is still not very accustomed to adding the title of "adult" after those two words.
"I am the Creator." Iron Tooth said expressionlessly, "I'm sorry, I can only appear in front of the two of you in this form, because I really can't find a suitable body, I'm still dormant, during the dormancy, my own body has to be reorganized, cleanse the blood, filter the toxins and germs in the body, etc., I think, if I find a body that you are familiar with and can still trust, you probably won't feel so much pressure." β
"I don't believe you're the Creator." Tang Shuxing looked at Iron Tooth and said, "You've already tricked us once, you don't need a second time." β
"Iron Tooth has no choice but to trick you, because I want to blackmail him." The iron tooth finally grinned at this time, but the smile was like an invisible person tugging at the corners of his mouth on both sides, "If I don't do that, my follow-up plan won't be able to go smoothly, here, I apologize to the two of you...... You may be seated. β
The strange man who claimed to be a creator and had the appearance of Wei Xuanyu, but could make an iron-toothed sound, stretched out his hand, and two milky white chairs immediately "grew" on the ground.
Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi glanced at each other, knowing that since the other party dared to let them bring weapons in, they were not afraid of what they would do at all, and the place itself looked so weird.
After the two sat down, the man walked up to them, crossed his hands on his abdomen, and waited for a few seconds before officially introducing himself: "I am one of the three heroes of Shangdu, my name is Creation, I am the doctor here, in the words of the outside, I am the chief doctor of this country, I can save people and kill people." Of course, I'm also from the outside world, and you already know my name......"
Yes? What did we know about the name? Tang Shuxing and Gu Huaiyi couldn't help but glance at each other again, and then looked at the person standing in front of them.
"My name is Roald. Reinhardthyβ" The man looked up at them.
