Qiu Yu said as calmly as possible, "Did these homeless people sell you the news that aliens are going to attack you?"
"Yes, they never lie. Whether they are merchants or mercenaries, they have never had a bad credit record. When they told us that a disaster was coming, we immediately believed most of them and paid for a huge amount of supplies to buy from them. More detailed information. However, this detailed information makes us doubt their words."
"But now it's proven to be true, right? What kind of information is it that makes it difficult for you to even accept it?"
Gu Huai shook his head, "It's just a small part. We have no way to prove more things."
"For example?"
"For example, they said that... I'd better say it from the beginning. After we paid a lot of supplies, they gave us a map. It is said that this part of the wandering merchants traded with other cities and conducted business based on what they saw. Drawn. We were very excited to hear about other cities, which meant that there were indeed other humans in this world. But they said..."
Qiu Yu received, "It said those cities are not human, but other civilizations."
Gu Huai glanced at Qiu Yu in surprise, but after thinking about its powerful help, he quickly felt relieved, "Yes, there are hundreds of cities on that map, but we are the only one that belongs to humans. But they said with certainty that there are definitely other human cities here, and there are quite a few of them. But because they are evenly distributed, we are the only one in the area they have discovered."
"With hundreds of cities, the world is really big enough."
"It's much bigger than you imagine." As if to calm down his mood, Gu Huai took a long breath, "This map covers 300 billion square kilometers. And this area is only for the group of people who have come into contact with us. According to their calculations, these 300 billion square kilometers are less than one ten thousandth of the total area of the world."
"Cough cough cough..." Qiu Yu choked and coughed due to the cold air he breathed in, "This is impossible."
"Yes, this is impossible. Whether it is our observations or basic physical laws, it is impossible for such a huge planet to exist in the universe. Matter of this level concentrated together would have collapsed into a black hole long ago. But we are now What I feel is a gravity that is completely different from that on the earth. Regardless of whether it is natural or artificial, the energy required to prevent collapse is a terrifying number on a cosmic level. It is hard to believe how wealthy a civilization can be. Will afford this waste.”
Qiu Yu nodded silently. The humans here seem to have entered the intermediate civilization for some time, but they are still only an intermediate civilization. As for the aliens who will go to war with humans, although their final methods may seem shocking, they are at best advanced civilizations. Otherwise, there would be no war, and the earth would be blown away in one breath. Taking a step back, even if they are really a super civilization, super civilizations still have enemies from other universes. If you are not careful, the huge civilization may be wiped out in an instant. It is impossible to do such seemingly innocent things without any scruples. Meaningful and too extravagant.
After eliminating all possibilities, only two answers appeared in Qiu Yu's mind, but there was no need to discuss it with Gu Huai now, so he just listened to him quietly.
"In addition to this abnormal size, the information about the disaster is also incredible. On the one hand, they say that we are being domesticated by aliens who abducted us, and on the other hand, they say that there are disasters from those aliens among us. Aliens They will use a method beyond the laws to find out if there is a city in this world that threatens them, and once discovered, they will use the power of the city itself to destroy it."
“Why the power that the city itself has?”
"We also asked wandering businessmen this question, but their answer was very strange. They said that every time aliens directly intervene in the world, they may be discovered by more powerful forces. Once the operation of this world is started, they will try their best to They no longer appear here. Even the aliens in the police station are just scoundrels selected by the aliens who created this world."
Qiu Yu suddenly asked, "Have you heard of those who violate the law?"
The two people who had been interacting fluently with Qiu Yu suddenly became confused. This in itself is the answer Qiu Yu wants.
Those who use methods beyond the law to find threats are mostly law-breakers with prophecy-like abilities. If you interfere in this world, you may be discovered, which is mostly due to the power of the Destiny Weaver.
This information means that while the enemy is very powerful, it also means that because it is constrained by more powerful enemies, it is difficult for them to interfere directly in this world.
Choosing this place as a game venue can save a lot of power for the regulators, while for humans, it has room for display beyond imagination. As long as your heart is big enough, the rewards will also be astonishing.
Qiu Yu said with shining eyes, "Forget this question, you can continue."
Gu Huai broke away from his dazed state and strangely hammered his forehead, "Although we have doubts about the words of the wandering merchant, we dare not disbelieve it. In order to prevent aliens from using our power to destroy us, we put all powerful weapons Leave it all to them.”
Qi Guangguo exclaimed, "No wonder I said our heavy weapons were not enough. It turned out that they were given to wandering merchants! Why were they given to them?"
"Because they said they have the ability to escape from this city. Under the premise that we believe that a disaster is about to happen, we have only two choices, either destroy those weapons, or pay part of the price and let them keep it for us. It's a pity that those aliens People have long had the means to deal with this situation. We no longer have weapons to destroy ourselves, so they turn us into weapons."
Qiu Yu asked, "Have you never hired wandering mercenaries to protect the city?"
"Yes, but their reply is that they cannot give an accurate price before a disaster occurs. They will come back after they confirm the price."
Qi Guangguo sneered, "What does accurate pricing mean? They obviously want to see if they can afford to wade through this muddy water first."
After hearing this, Qiu Yu became increasingly confused about the homeless man's position. It doesn't look like the regulators made it specially for this game, nor does it look like it was bound here by aliens. But their behavior has two possible characteristics.
"Out."
Qi Guangguo's cry called back Qiu Yu who was slightly distracted.
Looking in the direction of the military factory where he was looking, a soldier was waving to him. This is not a request for help, but an expression that the mission is accomplished.
