Chapter 525: Behind Him (Twenty-eight)
Stepping onto the vast ice field, the group of people walked slowly northward. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the cold wind gradually weakened and the ice and snow under their feet gradually melted.
What comes into view is an emerald green oasis that appears like a miracle. It seems to be a crystal clear emerald embedded in the world of ice and snow, which seems particularly unreal in this desolate world.
Marika immediately recognized this place as the Emerald Grove where she once worked.
The mine that was once so majestic in her eyes now looks like a small toy under her giant body.
However, this mine was once the prison of her childhood, a mountain in her heart from which she could not escape.
“Once, my whole family worked inside.” The giant’s lips opened, and his voice echoed in the sky.
The two Dianes hesitated to speak, and finally did not speak.
“What happened next?” Marilyn tilted her head in a friendly manner and asked.
Marika and Marilyn's long golden hair was blown by the wind, entangled together, and their voices overlapped.
"Later, the only memory I have is that the cold night came, and almost everyone in the Emerald Grove died, and I had to flee alone."
"My memory is similar, the cold night came, I fled with my mother..."
Dian's head sighed softly, but he just raised his head and glared at Diane again.
The mineral veins in the Emerald Forest were hidden under thick vegetation. A giant stepped on them, causing the mine to collapse and several strange ores to pop out.
After just one glance, Liu Sheng, Ling Fu, Xu Dajuan, Kuang Bowen, and Ling Yuke, the heavenly workers, all looked straight and could hardly believe it.
"Isn't this... the Xingyuan Crystal Mine?" Kuang Bowen said, with rare excitement in his voice.
Marika said doubtfully: "So you like this kind of thing?"
"Wait, there is more."
She said and kicked another mine away The hole revealed countless crystal clear crystals, shining with an extremely charming light for countless formation practitioners.
Liu Sheng fished up a piece with his small tentacles. In the cold and transparent crystal structure, the core shimmered like a star core.
"This is the Star Source Crystal! The core raw material for making array disks!" Liu Sheng almost shed tears. Looking at the full mine, he felt the urge to plunder for the first time.
Subsequently, they saw another mine, which was full of raw stones. When opened, there was milky white jade inside, and the naturally formed filamentous lines that were as hazy as the moonlight could be seen inside.
“These, these are Yue Ning Rui Jade!” Ling Yuke exclaimed, her eyes full of excitement and shock.
“The mineral veins in this emerald forest are too scary, aren’t they?” Xu Dajuan was almost speechless in shock.
Seeing such rich and high-quality minerals in front of them, how could they not go crazy?
Unfortunately, this is all in high-dimensional analysis.
Liu Sheng is deeply sorry.
【Maybe, there is no need to feel sorry. 】The world said so.
"If it weren't for the existence of this emerald forest, the Western Empire would not have colonized this backward ancient planet." Diane suddenly said.
Liu Sheng searched the database for information and understood.
"SP-CYG-2748-DSR planet, also known as the Abandoned Ring Planet, is the only one with rich minerals, so it was given to the Western Empire under the distribution of the Federal Empire."
Leaving the Tiangong people Yiyi The reluctant emerald forest continues to follow the giant northward.
It is not clear how long they have been walking. In short, there are demigods here, and every step seems to carry the power of law, which is the [Law: Space] that Liu Sheng is familiar with.
Liu Sheng felt that as time passed, the sacred energy in Marika and Marilyn had become clearer and clearer.
The golden tentacles have completely absorbed the colorful colloids in their bodies, which have become more and more obvious and entangled with their subcutaneous tissues. And all the residents with parasites in their bodies can vaguely feel that a certain force is attracting them. The direction of their hearts and souls seems to be forming a huge group, living and dying together, a great existence. is being conceived.
Soon, the ice and snow gradually disappeared from their sight, and warmth came in, replaced by a vast grassland, full of life.
“This grassland is so suitable for settlement!” Xu Dajuan said with emotion.
After walking on the snowy plains for so long, hundreds of thousands of people would have died long ago if it weren’t for the large amount of supplies that the colonial government finally donated.
Despite this, many people still died due to cold nights and frostbite, and now there are only about 100,000 people left.
Some people expressed their wish to stay. Even if they knew that the cold night was still chasing them, they were no longer willing to continue wandering.
So, they began to help the remaining residents set up camps, and barely built a temporary shelter camp using simple tools and tents provided by the colonial government.
Wen Weilan looked at the snow-white tents on the grassland and the busy residents, and suddenly felt a strange familiarity.
Kuang Bowen was also surprised: "This place... looks very much like Mobei."
Liu Sheng has not been to the Mobei grassland in person, he has only been to the battlefield, so naturally he has no say.
After everything was packed up, they took the remaining people, took a rest, and continued towards the north.
But when we got here, Ling Fu suddenly reminded us: "We are already walking south."
He took out the compass he bought from Kuang Bowen before.
The pointer was shaking, pointing to the south. When everyone saw it, they were also surprised and confused.
"We have crossed the North Pole of the planet, so we are facing south." Diane nodded, "The indigenous people are here, in the Eastern Hemisphere."
"The aboriginal people you are talking about...why is there no relevant information in the database?" Liu Sheng asked with a frown.
"The aboriginal people, with their backward civilization, are not worth mentioning." Diane said matter-of-factly, "It is good that the colonial government did not enslave them or use them for experiments."
< br>After hearing these words, everyone had mixed feelings in their hearts, and they felt uncomfortable for no reason.
Liu Sheng had more and more inexplicable premonitions.
Continuing southward, passing through grasslands and deserts, they finally reached a vast plain.
A large river meanders through the plains, with villages and towns dotted on both sides of the river, as well as vast farmlands.
In the villages, most of the houses are built of mud and wood, with roofs covered with thatch. Smoke rises from the roofs, bringing the smell of human fireworks.
In the fields, adult men and women, wearing straw hats, waving hoes, bent over and worked in the fields, their clothes soaked with sweat.
While the children were chasing and playing on the field ridges, their laughter was clear and echoed in the open fields.
“Is this... the aborigine?”
Mrs. Su looked from a distance and saw that the aboriginal people were all wearing buns, wearing coarse cloth, wearing straw shoes, with black hair and black eyes, and her heart suddenly sank.
"So familiar..." Ling Fu suddenly felt familiar again.
For him, this was already his second experience, but it was a completely opposite scene.
For young Tang people such as Liu Sheng, after the livelihood projects launched by Ling Fu, they have rarely seen such original scenes, so the sense of familiarity is not so strong.
It’s just that these people’s dress and appearance are quite friendly.
Stepping off the giant's shoulders, they walked step by step towards the largest city among them.
The city wall is low and has an adobe structure, giving it a primitive and rustic atmosphere.
Looking up, two vigorous and powerful characters - "Chang'an" - were hung on the city gate.
