Last Totem Novel - Chapter 209
Chapter 209 Pioneer
At noon the next day, Tie Zha woke up and found himself lying on an unfamiliar bed. He immediately looked around. This is a simple decorated room. From the sign on the bedside table, you can see that this is the room on the second floor of the resting center. On his left was another bed. Looking sideways, he saw Mu Qianhe and Qin Ke’er sleeping side by side, covered in thin sheets, as if they hadn’t woken up yet.
He frowned and tried to recall what had happened last night. At this moment, his head was a little dizzy, and his memories were in a mess. He vaguely remembered that something had happened last night, but he couldn’t remember the exact situation. A moment later, he lifted the blanket and got up. At this moment, he noticed that he was dressed neatly, that the belt around his waist was still buckled, and that his coat was still on. He heaved a sigh of relief. He didn’t want to make the relationship too complicated,
However, he had only moved a few times when he realized that the jumper inside was wearing backwards …
He subconsciously scratched his hair. As a male, he must have an impression of what happened last night, but he couldn’t remember who his target was. It had to be said that this was a very embarrassing matter. The other party didn’t seem to want to make things difficult for him. After he fell asleep, he put on his clothes. He only needed to pretend that nothing had happened.
After pondering for a while, Tie Zha decided to respect his opponent’s choice and remain silent for the time being. Half an hour later, the two women woke up one after another. After they finished washing and dressing, Tie Zha checked out and took them to a sumptuous lunch on the first floor of the lounge. During the meal, the two women were quiet and did not tease each other as usual. They were silently eating the food on the plate, as if they were worried.
Seeing their abnormal behavior, Tie Zha’s heart skipped a beat. It shouldn’t …
He quickly rejected this idea. Although he was a little confused at that time, he still remembered how many he had bullied. But who knows for sure? Since he could forget who his target was, then he could forget other details. It was not impossible for him to change people halfway. He was a little nervous and secretly happy. For a moment, he couldn’t tell how he felt. After hesitating for a while, he felt his heart skip a beat. Anyway, he had already done all the work, so he should be responsible for it. There was nothing to be indecisive about.
Thinking of this, he grinned and said, “Friends, we are leaving for Desert Five soon. What do you think will be the most appropriate schedule?”
‘”Yes, we’ll listen to the Guild Leader.” The two women said one after the other. Their expressions and tone were indescribably obedient, so much so that Tie Zha was not used to it.
Actually, his question was only a formality. Wang Hu and Bai Xiaoyun were responsible for the specific arrangements, so there was no need for him to bother. After this small episode, the three of them seemed to have formed a tacit understanding and remained silent about what happened last night, as if nothing had happened.
In the next two days, the members of the Battle Wolf Legion packed their supplies and packed their luggage. They were extremely busy.
On the morning of the fourth day, the group had finished their preparations and left the Night Lighthouse, heading towards Silver City No. 9 in the central continent. Silver City No. 9 was also known as Moon City and Elk City. It was the headquarters of the New Moon Alliance. It was located in the north of the Dark Lighthouse and in the middle of the central continent. More than two years ago, when Tie Zha crossed the sea by boat, he once met Zhao Linglong of the New Moon Alliance. After the Battle of the Island, the captain escorted Zhao Linglong back to the central continent. He didn’t know if they had arrived smoothly.
The Gate of Plane 5 was located beneath Silver City No. 9. The Gate of Plane 5 was called the “Gate of Seth.” In ancient myths, Seth was one of the nine-pillar gods who ruled over deserts, storms, and chaos. According to the pamphlet given to him by Muyu Qinxin, the human satellite signal of Desert 5 covers an area with a safety factor of seven, while the area outside the satellite signal is zero.
Zero represents a “high-risk zone” or “chaotic zone” in which the Universal Convention will no longer be in force and there will be no constraints on human beings, even if they kill each other. On the surface, this rule seems fair. Since it is difficult to gather relevant evidence in areas without satellite signal coverage, it is up to the fist to be tough. However, in reality, it was completely different. Ordinary small teams and organizations indeed did not have the ability to pursue their responsibilities. However, how could large organizations and forces not settle their debts in the future?
The so-called lack of restraint was for large organizations and powers to remove obstacles in dangerous areas. For small organizations and small teams, constraints still exist. Unless you can do it perfectly, no one knows.
Originally, the safety factor for Tie Zha was zero all over the world. He didn’t mind killing anyone when necessary. However, now that he had concerns, he could no longer offend large organizations and powers at will. If he was wanted again, then the future that Mu Yu Ling Lan had knitted for him would be completely ruined. From now on, he must be cautious and avoid being caught in an irreversible situation.
The current him was no longer a teenager from Tieshan Town back then. He could casually kill someone he didn’t like and then leave with a slap on his butt. He was already the head of a ball, and there were more than 160 mouths waiting for him to eat. He could no longer act recklessly. He repeatedly reminded himself that this was not Iron Mountain Town. Without that invincible female police chief, if he made any mistakes, he would have to deal with the aftermath.
Three hours after leaving the Night Lighthouse, twenty eight-wheeled trucks lined up behind the Great Wall and swept into the highway leading to Silver City No. 9.
The central continent was different from the Northern Wilderness. There were many Silver Cities and Earth Cities here. Apart from the dark jungle, the land could basically grow crops. However, compared to the Western Continent and the Golden Triangle of the Northern Wilderness, the land here was relatively barren.
However, the Central Continent has the largest area of arable land in the world. Apart from a small amount of grain imported from the western continent, they were basically self-sufficient. In even harvest years, they could also export some grain. On the Northern Wilderness Continent, although the land of the Golden Triangle was more fertile, it could only supply the area north of the Endless Sand Sea. The region south of the Endless Sand Sea relies entirely on imports of grain from the Western Continent or the Central Continent.
In addition, the Far East Continent has been a barren land since ancient times. The area of cultivated land is relatively small, and food must be imported from the Western Continent to feed the people. However, the Far East also had the advantages of the Far East. The Far East had mountains that stretched for tens of thousands of kilometers. Every year, it could produce large quantities of rare mountain game, fungi, tea, bamboo shoots, berries, and other specialties from the Far East. These are the most popular luxuries for the wealthy, and the Far East relies on these specialties for a modest livelihood.
When mentioning the specialties of Mount Yuanshan, the two women officially extended an invitation to their Guild Leader. Mu Qianhe said that he wanted to take him to the Cloud Mountain and Sea of Mist in the distant mountains, climb the thousand-foot lonely peak, and swim the 10,000-year-old Heavenly Lake. Qin Ke’er said that she wanted to take him to the mountain spring bamboo tube rice, pheasant stew mushrooms, cloud pine roasted wild boar, eat the small stove in the mountains, and listen to Lin Hai’s bamboo music. The two women, one on the left and one on the right, said one after another, causing Tie Zha to be enthralled.
At dusk, the motorcade drove off the highway and had a sumptuous dinner at a large nearby bar. After dinner, the werewolf army hurried towards Silver City No. 9 overnight. The highways in the central continent were spacious and tidy, with streetlights towering on both sides. Even if they traveled overnight, there was no danger.
Looking at the traffic on the highway, Tie Zha couldn’t help but think of life on the Northern Wilderness Continent. The roads there were in disrepair, and there were few people there. Sometimes, not a single car could be seen passing through for half an hour.
On the Northern Wilderness Continent, the central region of the Northern Wilderness south of the Endless Sand Sea was a low-radiation area. There was only a wasteland, and the land was already semi-desertified. But in reality, the central region of the Northern Wilderness was already able to grow crops, but no one was willing to manage it, leaving the land barren. In the southern part of the Northern Wilderness, at least half of the area was in a high radiation state. There was not a single blade of grass growing there. Except for insecticides, all of them had to wear protective clothing to enter. Otherwise, their skin would fall off under high-intensity radiation.
Although the skin of the insecticide would also fall off after entering the high radiation area, the vitality of the insecticide was extremely strong, and the skin that fell off would gradually grow back. It was just a painful process. If they remain in high-radiation areas, they will constantly develop new skin and peel off, like insect molts, never ending. Every few weeks, they experience unimaginable pain. Even if he could survive, it would still be worse than death.
According to the historical records left behind by the Temple of Glory Reference Room, the world nuclear war broke out more than 1,700 years ago. Although only a small portion of the southern continent, the southern part of the Northern Desolate Continent, and the central continent had suffered nuclear strikes, the arrival of nuclear winter had completely destroyed human civilization.
Hundreds of years later, the nuclear winter was finally over, and the old humans left behind gradually walked out of the underground shelter. According to historical records, the first insecticides appeared among the first to leave the sanctuary. At that time, the nuclear winter had just ended. People struggled to survive in the radiation environment and gradually evolved.
Two hundred years later, the last batch of old humans came out of the underground shelter. At this time, thanks to the unremitting efforts of the pioneers, most of the places that hadn’t suffered a direct nuclear attack had already planted a large number of plants, regaining their previous vitality. The radiation gradually dissipated, and the humans who came out of this group weren’t affected by much radiation. Amongst them, the first generation of Psionic Adepts was born.
This dusty history had long since been forgotten by the nobles of Silver City in the deepest parts of Candlelight Fort. They refused to admit that their abandoned insecticides had once created a comfortable and beautiful environment for them in this land.
The first generation of pioneers, they resisted the radiation and planted trees and flowers in the wilderness. They put on mechanical power armor and faced the invasion from another plane. They explored the unknown and dangerous world and finally found the remains of the Eden, bringing new technology to this land.
Perhaps they were ugly or had many flaws, but no one could deny that without them, there would be no Silver City world today.
However, in this period of history, there were too few people who knew about it …
