Chapter 959: Sea of Quicksand
"A legendary city?"
Worm listened to Professor Dean's words, she preferred to believe that the map left by Roger pointed to a certain arsenal, and it was too much to say "legendary city", but when she heard Professor Dean say that the city represented a "destructive force", Worm couldn't help but recall Roger's words.

Because Roger did say that whoever solves this puzzle will have unprecedented power, even enough to destroy the new empire.
"That's right, it's the legendary city," Professor Dean nodded solemnly, "Actually, this 'legend' is not as old as you think, it describes roughly what happened in the period before the global nuclear explosion. ”
"And what does this legend say?"
Worm felt that he would have to listen to Professor Dean if he wanted to figure it out.
"Before the Third World War, there were still many countries in the world, and the strength of these countries varied, some were strong, some were weak, and some of them were even able to send satellites into the sky and revolve around the earth day and night."
"What is a satellite?"
It's the first time I've heard of something like this.
"It's normal that you don't know," Professor Dean said, "a satellite is a spacecraft with a specific function, and now even a powerful empire is not capable of doing so, unlike in the past, nuclear warfare has set human civilization back a lot. ”
"So what's the use of this satellite?"
The worm patiently asked Professor Dean.
"I'm throwing a pebble at your head now, it may hurt you, but it won't hurt," Professor Dean said, picking up a stone slightly smaller than his fist, "If I were to stand on your head and throw this pebble ten meters down, you'd probably be badly injured." ”
Stared at the stone in the other party's hand twice, and the little worm heart said Are you called a stone, this is clearly a stone.
"Further, if I stand in the air at a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand meters and throw pebbles, with this terrifying potential energy, let alone one or two people, even thousands of people will not be able to resist its power, and as long as the mass is sufficient and the structure is reasonable, the resistance of the air is negligible."
The more Professor Dean spoke, the more excited he became, as if he had seen a tungsten rod falling from the sky, "This is the legendary 'Staff of God', destroying the world." ”
"Professor, aren't you an expert in symbols and philology, why did you study this?"
"This ......" the little worm's question made Professor Dean sober up from his fantasy, "Isn't there a sentence that says, the history of mankind is actually the history of war, since there are written records, the rise and fall of human civilization has been inextricably linked with war, and it is precisely the words that I study, so I can naturally learn more information related to war." ”
"Well, it's just that this 'Scepter of God', and what does it have to do with the cities on this map, you haven't talked about that legend for a long time."
"Really? Okay, okay, let's talk about this legend. ”
……
The outbreak of the third world war has plunged almost every country into the flames of war, there have been people who have tried to end the war with weapons like the "Scepter of God", but unfortunately they do not use the "Scepter of God" to destroy the world, the outbreak of thermonuclear wars has pushed human civilization to the edge of the precipice, so the world has become what it is now.
"Finished?"
The little worm looked at Professor Dean dumbfounded, daring that this was the "legend" he was going to tell himself?
"That's right, it's over."
Professor Dean nodded.
"What about relationships?" Worm spread his hands, "You still haven't said what the relationship between the two is." ”
"Isn't this relationship obvious, the 'Scepter of God' is real, the city depicted on your map is the ground control platform that controls the 'Scepter of God', do you see the words 'Signal Tower', as long as you find the city and enter the Signal Tower, then you can control the 'Staff of God'."
"That's ...... so"
Worm let out a long "oh", she had made a lot of guesses about the "secret" in Roger's mouth, but she couldn't imagine that the truth of this "secret" actually referred to the "Staff of God", although Worm only now knew what the "Staff of God" was, but if it was really as Professor Dean said, then the person who controlled the "Staff of God" definitely had the power to destroy the new empire.
"You haven't told me where this map came from."
Professor Dean asks Worm about the origin of the map, and he can see that Worm is really not a bad person, so he talks to Worm more casually, and he can't control his curiosity.
"It's a secret."
The little worm replied stunned.
……
There really is a power in the world that can destroy the new empire, and the worm still can't calm her heart, it took her three or four minutes to wake up slightly, looking down at the map in front of her, the worm asked Professor Dean:
"Does the map show where the city is?"
Now that he knows the existence of the "Staff of God", the worm must want to hold it into his own hands, otherwise, should he let that madman Himmler control this power?
"I'll see," Professor Dean lay there looking at the map, "and this seems to mark its entrance, entrance?" The city is not yet on the surface, but underground. ”
However, it is only reasonable underground, after all, the sphere of influence of the new empire is huge, if there is a city on the surface, there is no reason for the new empire not to be aware of it, only a city hidden underground can escape the glasses of the new empire, survive the thermonuclear war, and survive to this day.
The worm asked where the entrance was, and Professor Dean groaned for a moment before replying:
"The entrance seems to be ...... It's like a sea of quicksand. ”
"Could it be the sea of quicksand in the eastern part of the hinterland of the new empire?"
Although the worm has never been there, he has heard of the words "sea of quicksand", it is said that it looks like a desolate and barren desert from afar, and there are quicksand traps everywhere that can swallow everything, so few people approach this dangerous place, unless they are tired of life and want to die, usually even wild wolves will not patronize.
"As far as I know, there's only such a sea of quicksand."
Professor Dean pointed to a corner of the map and said to the worms, where a small village called "Date Village" was marked, which was located right on the edge of the Sea of Quicksand. (To be continued.) )
