Chapter 1204: Conquest or Exploration
Although they encountered some obstacles during the process of leaving the mine, for Leo and Sylvia, these obstacles did not even have any threats, and they easily solved them. They both left the mine and entered the Badisha city.
Sylvia did not rush to leave, but suggested staying in the city for a few days and leaving after the next train arrived.
Leo had no objection to this. He knew very well that the reason why Sylvia was not in a hurry to leave was more to wait for the little Thomas to pass the news to the core circle of the Alien Society and wait for the people in the Alien Society to come.
The two soon found the only hotel in Badisha City and rented a room on the top of the mountain that overlooks half of Badisha City and Big Kok River.
After dinner, Sylvia asked the hotel people for two bathtubs, moved the bathtub to the balcony, filled it with water, and put the medicine prepared by Leo. While enjoying the scenery outside, she took a comfortable bath with Leo.
Leo suddenly asked: "What is the purpose of the establishment of the Society of Alien?
Sylvia explained: "If it were in the past, I would say that the purpose of the Alien Society was to collect all kinds of lost knowledge and promote academic exchanges without borders and without faith. But now... I think I have no idea what the Alien Society is, and I don't know if the Alien Society in the past was just a disguise, or if it has changed over the years."
Leo was silent for a moment and said, "I think it has changed over the years."
Sylvia looked at Leo, with a look of inquiry in her eyes.
Leo explained and said, "Old Rembrandt should be a person in the core circle. If the stranger learning also used people to do experiments in the past, then the old Rembrandt would definitely withdraw from the stranger learning."
"Maybe Old Man Rembrandt is one of the participants?" Sylvia retorted.
Leo looked at Sylvia without arguing.
Sylvia continued: "You have been with Rembrandt for so short time and know much about Rembrandt. I know too many people who have learned the knowledge of strangers. In the past, they were very serious, serious and rational. But what about now? People may undergo sudden changes, but that will only be a rare instance. It is impossible that most members of a force will have a mutation in their personalities one day. It is only possible that they were disguised in the past, but now they do not need to disguise."
Although Leo did not agree with Sylvia's view on the old man Rembrandt, he did not refute it, because Sylvia's words were not aimless, but were well-founded.
Sylvia did not continue to say anything about whether Old Man Rembrandt disguised himself, but instead said curiously: "However, compared to what the Apocalypse has become now, I am more curious about what is in this ruins that is so valued by Apocalypse. He did not hesitate to dig the collapsed mine hole bit by bit, and also dug out the ruins again."
"It should be something like industrial equipment." Leo quickly answered, saying: "From the architectural form, the ruins should be residential areas built by the Lyteliers absent from work. Most of these residential areas are temporary, and the equipment used for mining will also be docked in this area. After the formal residential area is built, the Lyteliers will relocate all the equipment to the formal residential area, and this area will become a storage place for equipment. Now it seems that this temporary residential area should have been relocated to live, otherwise the remains of the rock people will not be so small after being attacked by energy cannons."
Although Sylvia could understand the meaning of the word industrial equipment in Leo, she would not equate the industrial equipment in Leo with the industrial equipment of the Dodd Group. She knew very well that the capabilities of those industrial equipment must be far greater than that of the industrial equipment in the Weiron world.
"Is those industrial equipment easy to operate?" Sylvia asked again.
Leo shook his head and said, "It's very easy for me to operate, but it's probably difficult for others. Unless you have mastered most of the relevant knowledge, it's very difficult to turn on even if you find a complete device, let alone operate it."
"Since the stranger learns to attach so much importance to the things in the ruins, they should be able to know how to use those devices," Sylvia hesitated for a moment and asked again, "Is there anyone who can master the kind of knowledge you mentioned?"
"Of course there is." Leo quickly responded and said, "Someone has mastered the knowledge of cosmic civilization and has used it very well, so you know that person."
"Choose the King." Sylvia quickly understood who the person Leo was referring to was, and then seemed to realize something. She couldn't help but sit up straight, saying, "Saran may also be a member of the Society of Amitabha, and it is likely that she is from the core circle. In this way, the Society of Amitabha may have mastered the use of prehistoric civilization devices." As she said that, she turned around and asked, "Is those equipment possible for war?"
Leo was stunned for a moment, recalled a little, nodded, and said, "Most of the industrial equipment can be used in war. With a slight improvement, it can serve as a lower-level armed force."
Leo was not talking nonsense, but actually had actual war examples. In the several conflicts between marginal colonies and exterior civilizations in his memory, in order to support the support of the Earth Federation Fleet under the attack of alien civilizations, the colonial planet at that time transformed all agricultural and industrial installations into various heavy armed armor.
Although compared with the military armed forces of cosmic civilization, the power of these various devices of the Civil Reform Army is really average, and they are basically cannon fodder when they go to the battlefield, in a world like Viron, where the industrial level of Weilun is just in its infancy, all kinds of devices that can be converted into low-level armed forces are obviously like magical tools, and can basically be said to be invincible.
There is no need to do too many, just modify ten ordinary agricultural harvesters and turn them into heavy impact vehicles. Then all the city walls of the Weilun World will be as fragile as paper under the impact of such combat vehicles. Unless they use extraordinary power to penetrate the armored attackers, no weapon in the Weilun World can resist this kind of civilian reform weapon.
"Do they want to use these equipment to start a war to rule the world?" Sylvia said boldly.
"Impossible!" Leo shook his head and said, "Although those equipment cannot resist for ordinary people, these equipment are not indestructible for people with their powers as strong as you and me. Don't forget that there are gods in this world. There is no need for gods to take action directly. Just need a church to send a god to a god. These equipment may be completely destroyed. "Then he said casually as if he should joke: "In my opinion, rather than saying that they are planning to rule the world, they want to use these equipment to explore the wasteland. You must know that these equipment may be a little bit short of fighting, but it should not be a problem to open up roads and build forts in the wasteland."
Although Leo was just a random guess as if he was joking, Sylvia fell into contemplation as if she had received revelation.
"You don't really think that the stranger learning wants to explore the wasteland, right?" Leo couldn't help but say when he saw Sylvia like this.
"It's not impossible." Sylvia explained: "The secrets of the wasteland have always attracted the Apocalypse Society, and even the tower wizards. However, all those who have penetrated deep into the wasteland did not come out in the end. If I were the decision-making level of the Apocalypse Society and wanted to explore the wasteland with all my strength, I would definitely change my strategy. I no longer just organize some expeditions to go deep into the wasteland like in the past, but instead build a fortress step by step, and connect it with steam trains to advance to the depths of the wasteland step by step. However, this practice will consume a lot of financial resources, manpower, and still have time, but if the equipment you mentioned helps..."
Leo took over Sylvia's words and said: "If you build with those installations, cities like Badisa can be built in up to four days, and rails that require one year can be laid in one day."
Sylvia also looked surprised when she heard this. She did not expect that the device Leo said would be so powerful, which made her increasingly affirm her guess.
In the following days, Leo and Sylvia were staying in Badisha's city, wandering around the city like two people traveling, buying some items with local characteristics.
Everyone in the city was puzzled by Leo and Sylvia, because in this world, monsters attack people at any time, and people would go deep into the depths of the wasteland to travel. This is too abnormal.
It is precisely because of the abnormality that most of the people who are hanging around in the city dare not provoke them. They know very well that the people who can come to the wasteland alone are not ordinary people.
In the past few days, the mutant monsters in the jungle launched an attack, but compared with Odorene's monster group, the number and strength of these mutant monsters in the depths of the wasteland were much worse. Leo and Sylvia also saw how the extraordinary creatures in the wasteland slaughtered mutant monsters when the mutant monsters attacked the city.
When the mutant monster ignores everything and only knows to hit Badisha's wall, some extraordinary creatures of the size of leopards follow behind the mutant monsters. These extraordinary creatures can create a frozen gas with an effect of nearly liquid nitrogen. This frozen gas can easily freeze any form of mutant monsters, and then these mutant monsters will be crushed by the hammers of the tail of the extraordinary creature.
These extraordinary creatures are obviously not the first time they have surrounded and killed mutant monsters. They skillfully and effectively killed the lonely mutant monsters in the jungle silently. In the end, a few mutant monsters died from the attacks of tribal warriors on the city walls, and most of the rest were killed by extraordinary creatures.
This also proves from one aspect that the extraordinary creatures harboring the wasteland are the ones harboring here, rather than these mutant monsters that have been mutated by accidents.
The people in Badisha City obviously have long been accustomed to this kind of mutant monster attack. Even the shamans in the city have specially created corresponding early warning spells. When the monsters gather outside the city, they have been noticed by the established people, which gives the people in the city enough time to prepare for defense.
Although various defense preparations are very timely and extraordinary creatures are hunting mutant monsters behind, Badisha's tribal warriors still inevitably suffered casualties, and there are still a large number, most of which died from toxins on the monsters.
This is also the biggest difference between mutant monsters in the wasteland and mutant monsters in the outside world. Although some mutant monsters in the outside world will also produce abilities such as acid spraying, poisonous mist and other mutant monsters in the wasteland are just isolated cases, but most of them carry various toxins on their bodies. Some monsters can spray these toxins, and some monsters will mix toxins in their blood, splashing onto the attacker while being injured, and some will even explode after death and spray the venom everywhere.
Even though the tribal warriors involved in the battle wore various antidotes provided by the shamans in the city, most of the dead died because the poison was emitted too quickly and they did not have time to take it.
After a little statistics, after an attack, thirty-seven tribal warriors who participated in the defense died on the spot, and more than a dozen people were seriously injured and disabled due to various reasons. It was almost impossible for them to go to the battlefield again.
Although the total number of people is only more than fifty, it is already a huge loss for cities like Badisha. From time to time, you can hear people discussing whether you should move to other cities to live on the streets.
However, the Silver Moon Tribe, which controlled Badisha, seemed to attach great importance to the city of Badisha. On the same day, some tribal warriors had been sent to Badisha to supplement the loss and at the same time calmed the people's hearts.
In that battle, Leo and Sylvia were just bystanders and did not participate in any battle.
However, after the battle, Sylvia captured an extraordinary creature that was evacuating and discovered that the reason why these extraordinary creatures helped humans to surround and kill mutant monsters was because they like to eat certain organs and mutant tissues such as sarcoma in the mutant monster's bodies.
Leo could sense that these organs and mutated tissues emit an energy wave, which should be the condensate produced by the residual energy of the organisms. Therefore, he also speculated that these extraordinary creatures can promote the evolution of the body by eating these mutated energy condensates, and of course it is also possible to promote the mutation of the body.
Afterwards, Sylvia and Leo went to the excavation site to check the situation and see if the emergence of the mutant monster group had an impact on those who learned the stranger, but the result surprised them because there was no one here.
Not only were there no one, but even the excavation tools were taken away. Judging from the situation, it seemed that on the day when Leo and Sylvia left, they had already given up digging and exploring the place and packed up their things and left.
