Chapter 148: Dark Forest
When Qin Ge saw the gray lord knight who had returned from Kunlun City, he found that he was already like a beggar, covered in wounds and dying, obviously he didn't know how many fights he had experienced on the way back.
There were 30 Grey Owl Knights when I went, and only one came back.
The priestess Zixue had already led the apprentice of Oak Leaf to start the rescue, and Qin Ge had an extra scroll made of simple bamboo in his hand, and when he opened it, there was a line of juanxiu font written inside.
"If you are Qin Ge, please come to Kunlun City to see you, Xiao Qi. ”
It's actually Xiao Qi?
Qin Ge's face was expressionless, and then he carefully peeled off the bamboo layer by layer, bit by bit, and in the end, there were twenty-four more silk threads of unknown material in his hand, which were extremely slender and similar in appearance to bamboo fibers, but more symmetrical.
It's just that there are some ambiguous words engraved on these threads.
After staring at these silk threads for a long time, Qin Ge knitted these twenty-four silk threads thinly and turned them into a small button, and then dropped a drop of his own blood on it, and in an instant, a little man with a big thumb came out of the button, who else was there besides Xiao Qi?
"It's been a long time since I saw you, Qin Ge, I didn't expect you to actually lay down such a large family business, and you have advanced to the 13th level of blood power, but it takes a lot of trouble for me to contact you again. ”
Thumb Xiao Qi looked complaining and looked very cute, but Qin Ge grabbed her head and feet and pulled her up and down, and in a blink of an eye, Xiao Qi became normal.
"Don't talk nonsense, you definitely didn't come to me because you missed me so much. ”
Xiao Qi didn't care, he looked around for a while, and then he exclaimed: "You really touched the core truth, purifying civilization, that's right, this is the most correct and easiest way to fight the virus, but it's a pity that you were born 30 million years late." ”
"What do you mean?"
"That is to say, 30 million years ago, there was a smart person who found a way to defeat the virus, and at that time, the crabs were still flipping the table, and the bigwigs of the infinite intranet were still waiting to die in the desert of time and space. ”
"So what, now that the virus has been defeated?"
"The virus has not been defeated, but the real world is afraid that it has been defeated. ”
"I don't understand, please put it more simply. ”
"It's very simple, it's not just the virus that can destroy reality, but there are other factors, you agree, and now, before the virus completely invades reality, the real world has been destroyed. Without the real world, the invasion of viruses is a joke, so they will hibernate and wait for a new real world to emerge. ”
"However, there will be no new real world, because 30 million years ago, the person who thought of a way to defeat the virus was carrying an incomparably powerful force, gradually destroying the real civilization in each universe, strangling all the real civilizations that can cause the virus to wake up, and turning the real world into a dark forest, so that although the virus has not been eliminated, they will never be able to wake up, which is equivalent to indirectly destroying them. ”
"During the period when you and I were disconnected, a lot of things happened in the real world, the post station civilization under the post station system designed by the crab was destroyed one after another, and the post station was completely finished, and not long ago, the United Government of Earth and Humanity also urgently mobilized, so that most of the real people traveled to various small worlds, and in the next few hours, the earth was destroyed, so, you and I can't call ourselves real people anymore, we have all become NPCs in the virtual world. ”
Xiao Qi said as she observed Qin Ge's expression, and what she saw was expressionless.
"Well, it seems that you have indeed changed a lot, I heard that you are a king here, so are you interested in considering taking in a group of refugees from the real earth?"
Qin Ge didn't answer, but asked, "Do you know what kind of world this is?"
"I know, I don't know. Xiao Qi's answer was very different.
"I don't have time to guess riddles with you right now. Qin Ge said coldly.
"Hey, what are you anxious about, I said I know, because I know that this world is the basis for the existence of the Gray Layer and the Infinite Intranet, the virus calls this the Land of Ashes, the crab calls this the Divine War Ruins, and the people in reality now call this the Circle of Damnation. But what I don't know is, I don't know how this world came to be, the virus is so devouring and possessive, and it seems that there is no way to take it all along. ”
"As for the crab, he didn't dare to enter here in the first place, what a cunning guy. But now, the Reality Alliance, oh, the Avengers League of the destroyed real world, they think so, this so-called Circle of Damnation is the wreckage of the destroyed real world, and then thrown into it and turned into a civilized dump. ”
"Personally, I'm inclined to this statement, because people in reality have long asked, is everything we are really reality, what if it is manipulated by someone? The idea is terrifying, but there is no scientific basis, until the Circle of Damnation was discovered, where people found a lot of traces of civilization that disappeared in history, and even the virus became less powerful here. ”
"For example, your castle is obviously a temple of the Black-eyed people, but I dare to swear, the civilization of the black-eyed people was not born here at all, so why did this black-eyed temple appear here? Maybe it was really just swept into this garbage dump with a broom. ”
After Xiao Qi said this, Qin Ge still looked calm, in fact, he had already guessed that this world was too mysterious, as if the virus had to start from scratch here.
But instead of continuing on the topic, he asked:
"What the hell are you looking for me?"
"Ask for help, the earth has been destroyed, all the small worlds have lost their realistic anchors, without anchors, they don't know where to drift, no one can predict what the consequences will be, so we need to find an anchor to rely on. ”
"And so far, our small world of frost is temporarily relying on Kunlun City. If you want me to say that these guys are really lucky, originally they also wanted to retreat from the Circle of Heaven's Damnation, but now it's good, more than 100,000 small worlds are crowded in, plus more than 30 exiled civilizations, and hundreds of billions of real refugees are pouring in, you can't imagine what the situation is like in Kunlun City, I bet that it won't be long before real refugees will come to your kingdom, what do I think you do?"
Xiao Qi said it directly at this time.
"You still don't know about the Undead Skeleton Tide?" Qin Ge asked strangely.
"What undead skeleton?" Xiao Qi was puzzled.
Qin Ge shut up and didn't say anything, but asked a new question, "What will be the fate of those real-life refugees who come to this world of the Circle of Heaven's Damnation?"
"What else can I do? Be an NPC, since they came in, they have all become level 1 civilians, and if they have a little resource, they have become level 1 lords, and people like me who have a small world have become level 1 kings. They need to be converted into soldiers, or mercenaries, or farmers, miners, or whatever, and then continue to survive here until they are killed, or they will never die. ”
Xiao Qi said with a little sarcasm, Qin Ge understood what she meant, NPCs seem to be immortal, but in fact, it is difficult to live, let's just say that the army of the undead is not easy to handle, I don't know how many people will die.
"Can it reproduce?" Qin Ge asked again.
"Can't, but you can-" Xiao Qi made a decomposition, Qin Ge understood in seconds, if he could reproduce, it would be a new real world.
"Isn't the Infinite Intranet going to counterattack back?"
"They want to, but they don't have that power at all, and the real world outside has become pitch black, they don't even know who the enemy is, how can they counterattack?"
"What about the virus, won't it attack?"
"Without the real world, the virus's various means are useless, the only thing they can defeat us is to attack directly, but that is meaningless, and it is a waste of law power, so the virus has begun to withdraw its power in this world, in other words, they have to retract the gray layer and enter eternal sleep, until a new real world appears to alarm them. ”
"If there is no law, how can we survive and develop?" Qin Ge asked again.
"Impossible, the law will always be there, even if it is an NPC, its existence has its own operation of the law, but the eternal sleep of the virus will indeed take away a large amount of hot money, that is, the blue crystal, green crystal, red crystal and amethyst embodied by the law, which will evolve into an economic crisis and the Great Depression, but this does not mean despair, the law can be created, the value can also be created, and the living space can also be expanded, as for the future development, it depends on everyone's own choices and efforts, as long as you seize all the opportunities that can be used, even under the end of the Great Depression, there is still hope。 ”
If Xiao Qi's words are meaningful, it is thanks to Qin Ge who can understand them now, but it is precisely because he understands them that he can't refuse.
"Got it, I'll provide coordinate anchors for the Frost World, but what good will I do?"
"You've already reaped the benefits, the Frost World has endless water, fertile soil, and abundant minerals, all of which can be sold to you at cost price, and you don't have to use aquamarine as a settlement currency, isn't that enough?"
"Fuck off, I stole it all in the first place. ”
"But now the supreme veto in the small world of frost is in my hands, and I am the master. ”
"So you're trying to blackmail me?" Qin Ge said angrily.
"It's serious, Qin Ge, our status is equal now, even, I'm here to ask for help, you also know that I have to feed a large number of people, I want to maintain more than a small world, I have suffering, for the sake of the cooperation, I hope you can understand my hardships." ”
Xiao Qi smiled bitterly.
Qin Ge was silent for a moment, "What do you want to do? In this world of the Circle of Heaven's Damnation, I think you already have a small world, this start is already quite good, you are born at the end, you can be regarded as a winner in life, why are you still crying poor like this, if you are all like this, wouldn't those refugees be even more miserable?"
"You know what we're doing, you've always known that, so why bother asking?" Xiao Qi sighed.
"But the virus has been sleeping forever, and as long as there is no new reality, they will not wake up, isn't this a good method?"
"There are many people who think like you, but you'd better not forget where you are now, this is the remnants of the divine war, the land of ashes, the circle of damnation, and the wreckage of countless real civilizations piled up into this world, so you think the war will end because of this?"
