Lu Yao pondered in his heart.

If memory serves, the concept of the earth is only modern and new.

The tin man with the head of the wine glass, the closest template to human history, should be the corpse-stitching weirdo in the science fiction "Frankenstein", the originator of Mary Shelley.

But no matter how you look at Zila's iron lump of flesh, it has nothing to do with human flesh and blood.

Lu Yao made a special trip to visit for this purpose, and also gave a box of world stones as a meeting gift.

Sure enough, for the sake of the gift, the other party still invited him in.

"Mr. Zla, I heard that you claim to be an earthling?"

"Not bad. I am a pure earthling, and my hometown is a beautiful and colorful world, much more beautiful than here. The tin man, who is usually silent, speaks of his hometown with pride.

"Is Earth your name?"

"Yes, I'm from the earth, and we're the earth, that's understandable."

But where did the word earth come from? Are you really sure you're an earthling? Lu Yao couldn't hold back his laughter for a while.

"Laughing at what? I'm an earthling! The earth is the earth, this friend, the joke about the hometown is not funny! Please don't say that again, or leave! ”

On the red and rusty head of the iron man at the head of the wine glass, the eyes of the two iron balls were red, and the head was smoking, and he looked angry.

"Sorry, no offense." Lu Yao regained his serious face: "I mean, do the locals call your world the earth?" ”

"That's right."

The other party is very determined.

At this time, Lu Yao's ears heard the sound of electric vibrations.

"My lord, the mesophistication will be synchronized through the signal layer, so many names themselves will be merged and converted, just like the same world, with different names in the mouths of different individuals, but here after being recognized by the signal layer, they will be unified into the signal name that is easy to understand. The world name you mentioned, it was the familiar name when you heard it on the other side of Zla. ”

As soon as Tuo Hai explained, Lu Yao suddenly came back to his senses.

The simulator also has this translation function, but I forgot about it.

It's mine.

However, the problem is that the intermediary determined on the signal layer that the hometown described by Zila was the earth, which made Lu Yao feel very puzzled.

"Can you tell me the story of that Earth?"

"Yes, we earthlings live on Earth all year round, and although we have disputes, conflicts, and fights with each other, and occasionally people die because of it, but overall, it's a good place."

The words "We earthlings" came out of the mouth of a tin wine glass, which really made Lu Yao feel a little strange.

Zila continued: "We live in the center of the world, and all the people of the earth live there. We are born from the center of the world, slowly awaken from the solidified and powerful core of life, the core, and then from the spinning cradle into the warm red ocean outside, where we can finally break free from the swaddling clothes of the core and move on our own. ”

"After entering the ocean, the earth is truly born. We can swim around in it or sink under the sea, and earthlings spend most of their time enjoying the ocean baths. It was really very comfortable there, and after many years, I miss it. ”

A dim glow appeared in Zila's iron ball-like eyes.

"There is no distinction between earthlings in the ocean, but as we grow up, we need to live independently, and we need to continue to walk outside and into cold areas. There is an alien core, a place where only adult earthlings can live, there is no ocean over there, and our bodies will solidify, and earthlings will need to walk hard when they grow up. ”

"The outer nuclear area is cold and dangerous, but there are also things that adults need over there, and that is earth and stone with special rare elements. Adults need to acquire those rare elements in order to sustain their changes. ”

Lu Yao had already understood at this time.

Zila is a geocentric who lives in the center of the earth, and it is indeed no problem to say that he is an earthling.

Lu Yao asked it, "Do you have to leave the core?" I mean, if you need rare elements, you can go out and collect them together and then return to the warm core, right? ”

"Nope."

Zila's body twisted and creaked: "When you become an adult, you no longer want to be separated from too many people, you and me, and everyone can't be in the same swaddling clothes forever." People will always grow up, and when they grow up, they will crave more things, more things they have never seen, more space, and the key is to distinguish between others and themselves, which requires the integration of rare elements, which makes us earthlings excited. ”

"But if you are too far away from the core, it will be difficult to move, and if you lose your ability to move completely, you will become a cold corpse, and your sense of self will be destroyed."

Zila said in a serious tone: "Until one time, the earth's core violently shook and distorted, and there was a large-scale collapse and fragmentation of the outer core, and this shaking was very terrifying, as if the end of the world. ”

"A lot of people were scared at the time, especially the children."

"So adults like us have a responsibility to check what's going on in the outside world. If the situation deteriorates, all adults will have to go back to their infancy and give up on themselves. ”

"I'm one of the explorers who left my homeland."

"I used my head to push through the rocks and layers in the cracks, and when I went outside, the closer I got to the outside, the colder it became, and it made it harder and harder for me to move," Zila recalls. ”

"When I passed by a certain place, I found that it was very warm, and that was the center of the most violent tremors."

"I climbed all the way up the crack into the world, to the outermost part of the world, where there was nothing in the sky. At my feet, there was a huge crater, and it was as if the earth had been bitten, and a lot of stones, iron, and other sand and gravel flew into the sky...... I came to the most dangerous of the outer worlds. ”

Lu Yao and the wine glass man had a detailed exchange about the outside world.

It describes the same situation as the Earth, when there were no animals, only the sea and land, and some of the most basic life that was suspected to be algae and moss.

"It's very, very cold outside, a lot of earthlings are freezing to death, and I'm the only warm zone to live in. I went to the neighborhood to rescue the other earthlings and carry them over. ”

"But when I was busy, I didn't realize that the crater was also cooling down rapidly, and its solidification was blocking all the crevices, and the passage into the ground was being buried and sinking," Zila said. When I came back to my senses, I found myself in a desperate situation. All I could do was look around for the nearest volcano and hopefully find a new warm zone. ”

"It was snowing so hard outside that all the peaks were blocked and I could barely move. Using the last bit of strength left in my body, I ended up back in the pit, thinking that I would die and be like other earthlings, my body completely solidified into iron, and then sink into the ground and return to the core after many years. ”

"Luckily, I found in that pit a strange substance that I had never seen before, and it was difficult for me to describe what they were, they were rapidly dissipating, but forming a path. I walked along that path into a strange place, and later I realized that I had descended from the dying real universe to the virtual universe. ”

When Lu Yao heard this, he couldn't help but be curious: "Is there really any monster on the earth that has been bitten?" Or is it the impact and smashing from something? ”

"It's an impact."

"The other, much smaller Earth, hit our Earth and then caused a great cooling, exposing the people of the Earth to extreme cold and dying," said Zila firmly. It was a terrible apocalypse. ”

That astral impact was devastating to the entire world. As a result, the outside centroid people cannot sense the core of the earth, and cannot find a way to enter the core, so they become mediocre pieces of iron.

"After the dimension reduction, I landed on the white columnar island next to the boundary wall, the small island was almost stationary, and the place where I could move was the void island. I moved cautiously, gathering all the useful materials in the vicinity. It's also cold over there, but it's weird, though it's slow, and it doesn't let me fall asleep and die. ”

Zila's eyes drooped slowly: "I've always been over there, and I've never met anyone." I saw a lot of debris rising into the air, and a lot of destructive worlds exploding and crashing into the boundary wall. It was only the place where I was, no one cared, and no one passed by. ”

"There, I revamped my head and put everything I could find in my head. That's when I learned to talk to myself, otherwise I would gradually become unwanted to move. ”

It pointed to the head of its glass: "Although there are some tattes in the eyes of others, I cherish them." Every time I can pick up something new, it makes me happy for a while. ”

Lu Yao understood.

After Zila was reduced, it fell directly on the ruins of the Sea of Rest, which can be said to be the beginning of death.

Lu Yao asked, "How did you get in?" ”

"The island I live on has collapsed."

Zila suddenly laughed: "Fuck, it's good, it's good." Then I fell into the wall, and I thought I was going to die, but I was sucked into the place. ”

"I envy you, you can go home when you're done, what about me? If I go back, I won't even have that island. It's even more impossible to return to Earth, because the Tempestal Land can only send me back the way I came, and I'm not like you. ”

Lu Yao's heart moved: "What if I say, can I help you?" At least go back to Earth. ”

"Don't kid, friend, it's not funny, I said it."

Zila turned her head away, as if she didn't want to discuss it.

Lu Yao emphasized: "I am serious, because I am also from the earth. ”

The other party's body stiffened, and he turned the head of the wine glass suddenly: "Do you think I'm easy to deceive?" You don't look like an earthling at all! There are no earthlings like you! ”

Lu Yao was a little nervous for a while.

That's when a voice intervened in the conversation.

"Zila, standing in front of you is the noble and great ruler of the Yao clan, the master of natural disasters, the pioneer of the Silver Plain, and the supreme Lord Yaoshen. Pay attention to your attitude, Yaoshen-sama has no time to joke with you. ”

The tin man was stunned: "Yao...... Yaoshen?? ”

"Keep this quiet."

Lu Yao said with a smile: "I'm also curious about the situation here, come over to participate in the front-line labor, and see how everyone lives." ”

Zila said, "I didn't expect a big man like you to come in person...... You say, are you really from the earth? I mean, how did the earthlings become like this now? ”

Lu Yao's smile froze.

What does it mean to be like this?

As if realizing that something was wrong, Zila quickly changed his words: "No, I mean, the earthlings have changed a lot. ”

Lu Yao told it about the history of the development of the earth.

“……”

It took a lot of time for Zla to slowly accept the changes on the earth: "It turns out that you are a new earthling living on the surface, and we are old earthlings, but you also said that after the dimensionality is completely reduced, it is impossible to ascend the dimension, right?" ”

"Of course. But at least go back and see, it's better than not going back at all, right? ”

Lu Yao was still pondering in his heart.

When the time is right, you can hand it over to the committee, and if you find a suspected prehistoric human, it should be considered a third-class merit, right? Maybe you can still get in touch with the current people of the center of the earth through Zila.

"That's right! You're right! Then you're in for trouble. Zila suddenly became happy, and her body flushed slightly.

"As a token of gratitude, I'll give you all the meagre savings I've saved over the years."

Lu Yao wanted to say that there was no need to be so polite.

But when he heard the numbers from Zla, his eyes widened suddenly.

"How much?"

"About 132 million teeth, I can't use many teeth when I go back, and it's useless to hold the extra ones, and I don't have any interest in those strange abilities, and I don't like to fight, so I'll give them to you."

Lu Yao was shocked.

This lonely and eccentric wine glass head is actually a silent asset boss!
