Chapter 1200 Monster City and Floating City!
After a violent roll, Uncle Jim and Morris crawled out of the sand!
Although they were wearing robes and goggles, the two of them were still filled with a lot of fine sand, which was constantly shaking off along the line with their movements.
Looking at the terrifying dark clouds circling and moving above the sand dunes, both of them looked like they were about to survive a disaster. After looking at each other silently, they couldn't help laughing!
Uncle Jim chose to rush towards this sand dune based on his understanding of the terrain of the garbage mountain. Facts have proved that his choice was correct, as long as they rolled down the garbage mountain and left the scope of the garbage mountain. After that, these terrifying metal bugs will no longer continue to hunt them.
This is the characteristic of metal bugs, which will never change. It is precisely for this reason that the natives can take advantage of them and escape from accidents again and again!
After the joy of escaping, Morris glanced at the unconscious man who had been separated from his legs and half of his body was buried in the fine sand. He looked at Uncle Jim with some hesitation.
Although he had "picked people up" more than once, this time Morris became hesitant because he had realized that this man seemed to be very special and would most likely bring trouble to his companions when he was brought back. Come to danger.
From the time they came into contact with him until now, the other party has shocked them more than once!
"Uncle Jim, should we still take him away?"
Morris rarely asked for Uncle Jim's opinion, instead of the previous attitude that seemed like a request, but was actually extremely stubborn and persistent, and would find a way to take the person back no matter what.
Uncle Jim didn't care about this. He took a few breaths hard and said intermittently: "We saved his life... He also saved our lives. We don't owe each other... anything! "
When Morris heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he did not continue to be as stubborn as before.
“But the origin of this person is very mysterious. Just like you said...you said, maybe after he recovers, he may be grateful and give us unexpected rewards!
So... let's... take him back!"
When Morris heard this, he immediately jumped up excitedly and ran straight to the unconscious man. He wanted to see if the man was still light and airy so that the two of them could take him back to where he lived.
Uncle Jim looked at Morris's back and let out a long sigh.
He knew that the reason why Morris had this strange hobby of "picking up people" was not entirely due to kindness, but stemmed from a story he heard when he was a child.
The protagonist of the story rescued a prince who was in trouble. After he recovered and returned to his country, he gave the protagonist countless wealth, which he could never use up in his lifetime!
What really moved Morris in the story was not the countless wealth, but the endless food in a lifetime!
When Morris was very young, his parents chose to enter the dangerous "Monster City" to search for food due to lack of food, but they never returned.
So Morris, who lost his parents since he was a child, has a deep obsession with food.
He hoped that he could be like the hero of the story he heard when he was a child, rescuing a big man in trouble, and then the other person would give him a generous reward, preferably countless amounts of food!
"This silly boy, in today's world, there are no big shots in trouble. That's just the plot of the story!" Uncle Jim smiled and shook his head. As a man picked up by Morris, One of the "hopes" was that he could not repay the other person with a large amount of food, so he could only protect him with all his strength until the day he fell.
I hope this poor and kind-hearted child can live a stable life and not lose his life due to accidents that may occur at any time!
"Uncle Jim, come and see, we are rich!"
Morris shouted excitedly and waved to Uncle Jim, seemingly very happy.
Uncle Jim struggled to stand up and walked slowly to Morris. He saw this guy holding two broken metal bugs, like two rare treasures.
In the sand next to it, there are dozens of similar metal bugs, all of which have been damaged and stopped functioning.
After seeing these metal bugs, Uncle Jim also showed a happy smile on his face.
The metals in this world are extremely scarce, not because of the lack of mineral deposits, but because after an incident a hundred years ago, almost all the metals that were once everywhere in the world were collected and devoured by the "Monster City" .
The so-called "monster city" is actually a mutated mechanical city controlled by super intelligence. Under the control of super intelligence, the collected metals have been eaten by a special construction machinery bug. It was slowly poured into an ever-expanding metal city!
This kind of metal city is called "Monster City", which is full of all kinds of weird buildings with strange functions. Because super intelligence and human thinking are different, the appearance of these buildings is also strange!
In these huge "monster cities", refined metal residues accumulate together, and over time turn into special soil, on which special plants transformed by super intelligence are planted.
Although these plants look equally weird, they can be used to fill their stomachs. They can also adapt to poor soil and provide a bare subsistence food for these indigenous people who rely on garbage to survive.
Unfortunately, the fruits of this plant are very special. After being planted in another place, there are no seeds. If you want to continue planting, you must obtain them again!
So obtaining plant seeds from the monster city has become a regular action for the indigenous people. The whole process is full of crises, and it can be called a narrow escape!
Because in these monster cities, in addition to various strange buildings, there are also a large number of mechanical guardians. Any non-mechanical creatures will be destroyed as soon as they are discovered!
When the poorly equipped natives fight against this mechanical monster, their chances of winning are extremely low, so the best choice is to escape as far as possible.
Every year during expeditions, some natives would be lost in the monster city, and even after making huge sacrifices, they might not be able to get what they want.
If you want to make weapons and equipment, you also need to obtain metal materials from the monster city, because there is no smelted metal in other places. They have all been collected by people with metal detection capabilities over more than a hundred years. The robot is gone!
That’s why Morris was excited about getting a few metal bugs, because after processing, they can create a brand new sharp weapon, which will increase their combat effectiveness again!
In fact, there are not only indigenous people in this world who rely on garbage mountains to survive, because they can only be called "abandoned people" at best, and in the sky above their heads, there are actually huge floating mountains. The city exists!
These artificial cities suspended in space have an artificial atmosphere and completely simulate the environment on the ground, allowing people to live here for a long time, not much different from living on the ground.
The indigenous people living there call themselves "citizens". They send mining robots to collect mineral deposits from deep underground and send them into the sky. They also dump all kinds of garbage on the surface. Then they look down at the abandoned people and enjoy what they give. Gift.
To put it bluntly, the purpose of these garbage is to first provide supplies to the mining robots on the ground, and then collect them back through the micro-robots that form the terror storm to maintain the normal operation of the mining robots.
The second step is to provide the abandoned people with some extremely pitiful sources of supplies, lest they become extinct and the citizens lose something to show off to!
