Chapter 103 No Man's Land
Chapter 103: The Unmanned Land
Ye Zhizi and the others ran over in surprise to look at the city gate that had become unrecognizable. They didn't expect that I would use such a violent way to blow the city gate down together.
Jibeyal asked curiously: "Did your big bug just now launch a magic beam? The power is so terrifying!"
I shook my head: "That's not a magic beam but a pure high-temperature beam, which is basically equivalent to a laser. This city has a magic protection system, and you have also seen that the high-level dark magic released by Ling was blocked. The defense ability of this thing can be imagined. But did you see the protective cover activated when the tank fired the beam just now?"
"Yes, why didn't the protective cover start just now?"
"It's very simple, because the shield does not react to light. The emitter on the back of the tank can use three different attack methods. The first one is what you saw just now, which is basically a laser. This beam has a relatively small power, but has a concentrated destructive power."
Licard looked at the city gate in surprise: "Is this called little power?"
"I mean that this is smaller in comparison. The other two are more powerful than this."
Santa Marfiana started to make trouble for me again. "But how can we get in now? The city gates have become lava pits, and it will take at least ten hours to completely cool down."
I stretched out my right hand and a white light spot flew out from the ice crystal on my right arm. After the light spot came out, it quickly turned into a beautiful frost star. Although it looked like a small white star, everyone could feel the frost air. After the upgrade, the number of the Ice and Snow Queen shrank and only one of the frost stars left, but the quality had a qualitative leap.
"Master." The Frost Star can still speak even though it has not become a beautiful woman.
I pointed to the city gate. "Help cool it down, be careful not to freeze me, just drop below 40 degrees."
“Yes, master.”
The white Frost Star just flew into the city gate hole and flew back. The melted rocks and iron gates solidified into solids. The temperature was not only not hot, but also a little cool. After doing it, the Frost Star flew back into the ice crystals in my hand.
"Okay. Go in and have a look."
Santa Marfiana was the first to walk inside, but she cried again. "You really are in the Ming Dynasty? How do you get over this?"
When I saw that the city gate had turned into an iron fence. The tank's laser was very concentrated, and it was just a big hole burning in the iron gate. The semi-melt iron on the upper part of the iron gate began to drip down after it was burned through in the middle, which looked a bit like the ice cream melted in summer. But the cooling of the Frost Star just now was too sudden, and the metal solution fell from the ground was solidified in mid-air, resulting in falling metal sticks, which looked like fences.
The berserker Licard, who likes to act recklessly, helped me to help me: "This iron stick is nothing. It will be broken if you have some effort to knock it. St. Marfiana, don't always make trouble for Zi Ri."
I didn't say anything, just walked over and drew it with Eternity along the edge of the hole in the iron door. The solidified metal sticks fell down one by one like they were stuck. "This little trouble is nothing."
Jibeyal interrupted: "Let's go in and take a look."
I didn't want to be slut with Santa Marfiana, so I followed Gibeyal and walked in.
This city is different from the ones you see. Usually, there should be a highway behind the city gate, and this road should lead to the central area of the city. Behind the city gate is a main road paved along the central axis of the city, and the same is true for other system cities, but this city is not like this. Behind the first city wall is a 150-meter-wide area, followed by the second city wall. A large number of stone-built two-story buildings are distributed in this 150-meter-wide area between the two city walls. The specifications of these small buildings are exactly the same. All the houses are square, and each household is arranged in a very neat manner.
The second corresponding position behind the first city wall did not have a corresponding city gate. We looked along the wall to both sides, and the result showed that there was no door in the entire direction, which means that the inner city could not be entered in this direction. The light beam emitted by the tank just now passed through the city gate and burned several houses here together. Some places are still on fire, but because all the houses are separated, there was no fire to bring the neighbors.
There are 4 rows of houses parallel to this 150-meter-wide area, and the houses on both sides retain a 7-meter-wide spacing between the city walls. The neat houses separate straight roads. However, because the houses occupy a relatively large space, the roads are not very wide.
The houses here are all made of rocks, and there are caulking materials between the rocks, so the construction technology is obviously not low. It is rare to have such a building level in South America and Central America. Although the ground under our feet is still soil, it is different from the soft soil outside. The ground here is obviously rammed earth, which is quite solid when stepped on.
The house opposite the city gate had collapsed, so we had to go into the house next to us to check. There were no door panels in the houses here. There were only layers of rag curtains on the door frame. I used my hand to pull the curtain open, but the curtain suddenly dispersed like sand. Good guy, could this curtain be a thousand-year-old antique?
The decoration in the room is very simple. A few chairs are placed next to the door, and there is a long wooden furniture opposite, which looks like a counter. There is a row of wooden shelves placed beside the wall that I can't figure out what to do, which feels a bit like a shelf in a small shop. There is a staircase on the side of the counter. Judging from the width, it is estimated that the second floor is a household room. Otherwise, the staircase would not have been so narrow.
St. Marfiana walked towards the stairs after a long time. After seeing this, I deliberately turned to her direction. Sure enough, I heard a cry as soon as I turned over. Think about it, the curtains were all sand. The things here must be antique-grade items that have been around for a while. Even if the quality was good at the beginning, the wooden stairs were no better than this stone house. As long as this kind of stone house is built to a stronger extent, it is generally not a problem to support a thousand or eight hundred years without encountering strong winds and earthquakes. But the stairs are wood, and that thing can't withstand such a long time. St. Marfiana rushed to the second floor in a rash manner, clearly looking for a fall.
I walked out of the room without caring about the Santa Marfiana and the others inside. The son of Night also came out with me. "Zi Ri, did you see it?"
Ye Zhizi has a good eye-catching kid. In fact, he can communicate with equipment because he has strong observation skills. He can see the questions here at a glance.
I nodded to show my understanding. "The houses and city walls here are two completely different technical products. As for those defense systems, they seem to be added later, and they are obviously much more skilled than those who built the house."
Night Zi nodded: "The construction technology of these houses is obviously not the builder's own. The construction design is quite advanced, but it can be seen that the builder's level is not good and it is a bit inappropriate. The city walls are obviously higher than the technical content of the house, but they are still behind. However, the technical level of those automatic defense systems has really reached a level that is even more advanced than our Aisinger."
"Then why do you think this is happening here?"
Night's son shook his head: "I can't figure it out."
I turned to look at Ling and Yeyue standing next to me. "Where are you two?"
Ye Yue shook her head, she couldn't understand this thing. After all, Ling had obtained a real body and had some modern basic knowledge to educate her much smarter than these magic pets who had never played games. "I think there may be two situations."
Ye Zhizi didn't expect Ling to have an idea and immediately asked: "What's the reason?"
"First, the city builders regard this place as a temporary base, so they simply used local materials to build the city walls with stones and added those defense facilities. As for these small houses, I think they moved in later. Second, it is possible that the people living in these small houses were notified by other people with advanced magic knowledge. These people with strong magic knowledge asked these low-level backward people to help them build cities. They themselves were only responsible for building defense equipment that low-level races could not build, so the technical level of the two was so different."
I asked Ling: "Which one do you think is more likely?"
“The second one.”
"Why?" asked Ye Zhizi.
Ling explained: "The defense equipment on the periphery of the city can still work when we arrive, which means it is difficult to get close. If we follow the first possibility, it is difficult to understand how these people can come in. In addition, don't you think this is like a buffer zone? If these people come later, why don't they simply live in the inner city of the city? This doesn't seem to be a suitable place to live, right?"
Ye Zhizi sighed: "Zi Ri, your magic pet is getting smarter and smarter. If the system is upgraded like this, we players will simply let NPC come to the leader in the future. The AI is higher than humans!"
