Chapter Eighty-Nine: Dragon City
After walking for more than ten minutes, we came to a stone gate, there was a samurai with spears standing on both sides, these two samurai looked a little stronger than other underground people, and the spears in their hands were only wooden, it seems that the technology of these underground people is really very backward, and they don't even have smelting technology, or it may be that the underground conditions are very difficult, there is not enough fuel and ore to smelt weapons, no wonder the underground people who caught us were holding wooden sticks.
The two warriors saw the old man coming, saluted first, and then said two words to the old man that we didn't understand, the old man nodded, the two warriors pressed the mechanism next to the door, the stone door opened with a hula, and then the old man took us in, the stone gate is a very wide corridor, along the corridor for a while, we came to a large hall, the top of the hall is inlaid with several huge bronze mirrors, the strange thing is that there is sunlight shining out in the mirror, where does the sunlight come from underground?
Before I could think about anything, two people in the hall caught my attention, first of all, a big man, he was much stronger than the average underground people, it is estimated that he was the leader here, he wore a crown, the jade on the crown was very eye-catching, and the clothes on his body were more gorgeous, the underground people I saw at the beginning were wearing coarse cloth clothes, and the other one, the figure was relatively thin, and his appearance was relatively close to that of modern people, but he still had no hair, pointed and long ears, and wide nostrils. I guess their current appearance should have something to do with the environment, if they don't see the sun all year round, their skin will become very white, and when we were first caught, they were able to shuttle through the sand, so the hair on their bodies fell out, and the weather in the desert was hot, so the ears became pointed and long, and the nostrils were big to facilitate heat dissipation.
The old man first stepped forward, and muttered some words about their race, and the leader looked at us while listening to the old man, and finally when the old man finished speaking, the leader frowned, and suddenly said something to me, and the old man hurriedly translated, "Our patriarch asked if you are also here to find Dragon City?" ”
"Dragon City? We've been hearing from you about this place, but we really don't know where Dragon City is, can you tell us more about it? ”
The old man smiled slightly, and then said something to their patriarch, the patriarch replied, and then pointed to the wooden chair next to him, and the old man said, "You sit down first, and we will talk slowly." ”
I looked at the fat man and then sat down on the seat next to him, and after the others were all seated, the old man first introduced, his name was Schopenhauer, he was the mage of the clan, the one who wore the crown was their patriarch named Tuba, and the thin one next to him was the son of the patriarch called Ilhan, and the fat man and I also reported our names, and then the old man told us about their history.
Our story starts from more than 2,000 years ago, our ancestors built a country called Wuqiang, we belong to the Ruoqiang people, there were more than 30 countries in the Western Regions at that time, our country is an extremely weak country, because it is far away from the trade road, the economy is very backward, and the population is also small, about more than 2,000 people, so at any time will face the crisis of being annexed by other countries, so in times of peace, we have built an underground city, one can defend against the invasion of other countries, and the other can expand the cultivated area, After hundreds of years of operation, it has some scale, and it is precisely this dungeon that has preserved the continuation of our people.
It was a day more than a thousand years ago, the sky suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and then there was a loud noise that shook the earth, and a mushroom cloud rose in the whole sky, and then the heat wave hit the earth, where the heat wave went, not a single grass was born, people and animals died, that is, our ancestors who worked in the dungeon survived, when everything calmed down, people tried to return to the ground, but the ground has all become desert, unable to cultivate, and what is even more strange is that those who go to the ground do not die directly on it, Soon after he returned, he contracted a strange disease and died, and since then, no one has dared to go to the ground.
When the old man said this, I said to myself, "Why does it sound like an atomic bomb?" ”
The fat man heard me mutter, and glared at me, "Pull you down, where did the atomic bomb come from more than a thousand years ago?" ”
The old man was also stunned when he heard us arguing, and he asked a little embarrassedly, "What is an atomic egg?" What lays such a powerful egg? ”
I was amused after listening to it, and the fat man was also made laughing and crying by the old man's cold humor, but then I thought that the old man should be serious, modern civilization is indeed not something they can understand, I quickly explained: "This atomic bomb is a very powerful thing, it uses the fission reaction of heavy atomic nuclei to instantly produce powerful energy, which can destroy everything around." ”
The old man was still confused after listening to it, I wanted to tell him about nuclear fusion again, it was really too difficult, and it was estimated that it would not make sense to talk to him about these physical knowledge for a day, so I shook my head and smiled bitterly, "Let's put it simply, this atomic bomb is a product of modern civilization, using the huge energy generated by some technologies, an atomic bomb explosion is equivalent to the simultaneous explosion of 20,000 tons of explosives." ”
The old man's face showed a shocked look after hearing this, "So powerful? No wonder there was no grass in the first place. ”
I didn't respond to the old man's words, and said to myself, "It's strange, how could there have been atomic bombs more than a thousand years ago?" But listening to the old man's description is indeed very similar to the atomic bomb explosion, mushroom clouds, nuclear radiation, I really became more and more confused, simply stopped thinking about it, and then said to the old man: "You go on, you haven't said anything about "Dragon City" yet." ”
The old man sighed and continued, we have been in the underground for a thousand years, and slowly, people's bodies have changed, because they can't see the sun, their skin has become very white, and then there are not many things to eat, and they often have to shuttle between the sand, and in this way, we have become the current picture of people and ghosts.
About a hundred years ago, we suddenly someone tried to get out of the ground, he didn't die, and after coming back was fine, we felt that the environment on the ground had changed, and we should be able to go out, but after we went out, we found that there were deserts everywhere, and the oasis of the year no longer existed, we couldn't survive on the ground at all, there was no way, we had to go back underground and continue to live.
But we didn't give up hope of returning to the ground, we would regularly send a few people to the ground to look for an oasis, and finally one day, we found Dragon City, we have never seen a building like Dragon City, the whole castle is like a metal building, very beautiful, our people are as happy as if they found an oasis, they walked inside, and something strange happened, they actually met the same people as themselves inside.
"The same people?" I interrupted the old man, "Do you mean underground people like you?" ”
The old man's return sent chills down my back, "No, it's that I've met someone exactly like myself, just like myself coming out of the mirror." ”
"What?" The fat man cried out in surprise after hearing this, "Fuck, it's too evil to do this, what happened?" ”
The old man paused and continued: "They met the same self, of course they were very afraid, and they wanted to kill each other at once, so they fought, and in the end only one of them escaped, and after he told us about it, he became crazy, as if he had seen something terrible, but he said that there was an oasis in the dragon city, and he could see plants. ”
"The reason why we called him Dragon City is because there is a very big dragon head at the gate of the castle, and later our people went there to look for it, but Dragon City disappeared, and we really wondered why, until later we met a person who came out of Dragon City."
