The old man stopped a few meters away from Zack's group and slowly looked at everyone, everyone frowning.

"Humanity is on the verge of extinction, and you are allied with the enemy?" he said in a succinct voice.

"Allies are allies, enemies are enemies. Why bring the competition to it?" Shu Cong smiled casually. "If we want our children to prosper in the future, we must learn to embrace the changes of the new world. ”

The old man only snorted, and left it there, leaving two companions. The girl took one last look at the party before passing through the security checkpoint and leaving the area.

Zack looked at his company, but saw that none of them had offended his words. Carlin didn't care, because there was no money, and Ibert had been looking around the building with charm. As for ogres, he seems to think that short-term exchanges are a form of entertainment.

"After all these boring months, something interesting is finally happening," he says with a smile.

Zach just sighed and thanked him for letting Mr. Zhuang take care of things. They didn't have to wait long until he saw Julia rushing towards them.

"Mr. Munch, it's a pleasure to see you again. You never told us Port Atwood is a so... A melting pot of cultures," she said with a reluctant smile.

"Well, as I said, we live in an isolated place, and we need to cooperate to survive," Zach replied with a shrug. "We just talked to an interesting group led by an old man, who are they?"

"They, ah, are VIP guests," she said, then leaned over and continued to whisper.

"They are the Marshalls. It's like in the eunuch, the strongest woman in the world. "That's her in the flesh," she whispered, unable to hide her excitement.

"The strongest woman, but she's a little bland," Ogras said with a sigh.

Zach sighed and said, "I'm Ogras Aziz Rezac, a representative of the Devil in Port Atwood.

"I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Aziz Rezak. Welcome to New Washington, the beacon of humanity," Julia said with a smile, seemingly undisturbed by foreign species.

"The mapping of our new planet is a bit limited, and we haven't met you before, or any of your other friends," she asked, apparently hoping for some kind of explanation, but Ogras just smiled in response.

"Carllin Thayer of the Thayer Consortium. From the moment I saw you, I felt that you were a principled and appreciative woman. Therefore, I will offer you a ten percent discount on your first purchase in one of our stores as a greeting gift," the gnome said, standing up, using the metaphor of a nobleman's bow.

"What a generous, thank you. I hope to visit your store soon. "Unfortunately, I have nothing to offer but this pamphlet on the rules and regulations of New Washington. Julia said as she handed out the pamphlet, but she paused to look at the Ibutepu who had stood up and walked towards her in the middle of the conversation.

"Hello, female human. I am Ibutaipu, the ambassador of the anointed. I would like to discuss something important at your convenience. "Also, please accept this snack as a greeting gift," he said solemnly, this time holding up a decent large caterpillar.

When Julia saw the wriggling insect, she couldn't help but grimac, almost taking a step away.

"I'm afraid I can't accept your gift. Unfortunately, I'm a little unwell right now and can't eat. However, we are more than willing to have a dialogue. For some time now, we have been hoping to establish diplomatic relations with the SMART Exchange. ”

"Then Mr. Zhuang is left. He represents the humans of Port Atwood," Zach finished his introduction, and Julia greeted him warmly before turning back to Zach.

"What is your responsibility?" asked Julia with a questioning look.

"Uh...... Spiritual guidance?" Zach replied, scratching the back of his head, causing a demonic snort.

His head is no longer as bald as a monk, but it is still very short. Obviously, as vitality increases, hair growth becomes slower and slower, not the other way around. This has to do with the fact that hair is made up of dead cells, and cells die at a much slower rate.

With the help of cosmic energy, it was possible for it to grow again soon, but he felt it was more convenient to let it grow because it saved maintenance time and kept nothing visible to his eyes during the battle.

Julia obviously looks skeptical, but let it be.

"Due to your somewhat unique identity, we can't let your group venture into town until all the details have been confirmed. However, I will personally take you to the auction site. ”。

"This way, gentlemen, the auction is about to begin, and you are the last to arrive," Julia continued, leading them out of the building.

"Oh, there are a lot of parties that arrive through portals?" asked Si Zhuang curiously.

"There are a lot of armies in the world that have a private teleporter. "Unfortunately, in a way, there is a huge network of nodes around the world that can help humanity's war efforts, but it is currently unavailable," Julia replied, dodging any actual numbers.

All the people, including Mr. Zhuang, looked around curiously, because this was the first time they had seen a real human town. Sazhuang was also interested, because he spent most of his time in his small fishing village, except in the army.

"The auction will be held at the State Opera, and if it's most convenient for us to get a car there, please go this way," she said, leading them to a waiting limousine.

"You guys did something funny," Ogras said, fiddling with the Xiaoice box inside as he drove through town. "We should bring these things back to Port Atwood. ”

Zach only replied, "I brought some back from my last trip and they are better suited to our terrain than this one." ”。

"Great. ”

"Your measles has spread badly. It doesn't seem convenient to defend," Zhilian commented, as it looked out the window.

"Over the years, our defenses have evolved to the point where they no longer rely on things like walls. However, as the world changes, building proper walls has once again become a priority," Julia replied with a smile.

They arrived at the venue after fifteen minutes by car. It is clear that there were some wild beasts roaming in the past, because there was some damage in different places. Still, the building looks quite grandiose. The ceiling is more than ten meters high, and the entire area is covered with a red carpet.

"I have a lot of things to deal with, so I'm getting out of here. "Some places are reserved for you, just show this ticket to the waiter when the auction starts," Julia said to Zach as she handed him a piece of paper. "Oh, remember...... Follow the guidelines on the booklet. Your party will come out on top, but try to avoid causing conflict. We will speak after the event. ”

With that, she flew away, leaving a group of people staring blankly at the gorgeous exhibits. However, there are quite a few indications that this event is not a lavish gala. Zach spotted several military vehicles parked outside, with a line of soldiers lined up at the entrance. There are also dozens of cultivators armed with various weapons, dressed in anti-riot gear, on standby at any time.

The actual guests were actually fewer than the soldiers and retinue, but Zach was still surprised by the number of people they walked in. The door to the actual venue was still closed, so the guests walked around the huge hall, chatting and disturbing each other. It's a very strange contrast, seeing people in armor and swords holding champagne or eating snacks.

Zach was somewhat surprised to notice that there were even some groups of Ichites present, mostly standing on their own. Zach even spotted a familiar face among them, standing next to a few other Ishii people in simple but sturdy clothes.

It was also the first time he had seen a different type of Ishii, who wore much more urban costumes. Their equipment was almost modern, and they even carried rudimentary weapons such as clumsy muskets and rifles. It is clear that the two groups are still at odds because they are divided into two different blocs.

When Zach and his team entered the venue, most of the crowd looked at them curiously, and the conversation spread out on the floor. They most likely struck their image with the three types of aliens and the strange clothes of him and Mr. Zhuang. Zach stands out even more when he walks barefoot because he refuses to lose the ability to use [the bum] in front of so many powerful people around him.

Ogras looked around in disappointment and said, "Wow, you human auctions are a bit boring, I didn't see a fight. ”。 "I'm also beginning to wonder if you're sane. Obviously, you humans can not only build decent buildings in the movies, but you can also choose to live in a tin pot in the forest?"

Zach sighed and said, "I told you I was camping outside with my friends when the integration happened.

"I just don't understand why you're living like a poor man surrounded by trees," the demon retorted, but let the topic go.

"Well, the auction is still a while. Please follow the rules and disclose as little information as possible about Port Atwood. "Mr. Zhuang, please stay with Ibutep," Zach said, but he immediately groaned as Ogras turned into a shadow.

He reappeared next to a startled waiter, grabbed two glasses of champagne, quickly drank them, and began to walk around. The Sky Gnomes didn't linger either, and didn't hesitate to walk towards a group of humans, most likely eager to make some business connections.

He turned around and looked at a helpless Mr. Zhuang, who was about to leave to speak to Silas who was standing among the other calves, but he frowned when he saw a group of people walking towards him. It only took a second to realize that these people weren't there to socialize, but to cause trouble. It was clear that he was not the target of the attack, but it was the wise man who was still curiously looking around at the luxurious interiors.

Zach could only sigh because he knew it was going to happen sooner or later because he brought Ibtep with him. Wise people may not go out of their way to kill, mainly hiding in beehives, but that doesn't change the fact that a significant number of people have died at their hands since the integration began. Inevitably, some people want revenge, even if only against those species responsible for the atrocities.

"You've got a lot of balls to bring these things here," one of the men in front growled, glaring at Cheese maliciously.

"I don't know the history of you and the wise men, but we brought the Ibtep company here to help us make peace between our species. Our priority should be an invasion, not a fight between locals," said Sap Zhuang, trying to de-escalate the situation.

"Hello, human. The think tank said, ignoring Zach's signal to try to get the Sap deal to speak. "I'm sorry that there was some confusion between us that led to an unexpected death. On the plus side, it's just a weakness that makes your group stronger. ”

Zach could only shake his head when he heard these words. He knew that Cheese really thought those words were comforting. Zhilian is really pragmatic, and they believe that if someone dies, they won't be too strong. In a sense, this is pure Darwinism, although Zach doesn't think this way of thinking really works in this new world with cosmic energy.

"What the fuck are you talking about? you bastards killed my whole hometown!" the other threatened man roared, his eyes filled with anger.

This seemed to be a signal, as the entire group had taken out their weapons, all of which exuded a strong intent to kill.

Zach could only sigh and pull out his stick.
