Chapter 1198: Clues to Civilization Found in the Secret Realm
The two of them quickly found You Xing and reunited. When Mo Cheng found You Xing through sensing, he learned that more than half a month had passed.
At this time, the camp opened up by the logistics troops has a scale of nearly a thousand people. All the summoners have lost contact with the [Wanderers] and [Losers] after entering this world.
But this does not reduce the power of the summoner. After all, except for You Xing, a young man who has become a summoner not long ago, everyone else, except for card elves such as [Wanderer] and [Loser], also has equally good combat power.
As for You Xing himself, as long as Mo Cheng is still alive, he can use the card deck about [Hong Xiuquan]. It doesn't matter whether Mo Cheng is around or not.
The huge camp before us was built after the cooperation of the logistics forces of various countries. Although it is difficult for countries to reach a consensus on their private interests, those who can be sent out to perform tasks know that before gaining benefits, humans first need to gain a foothold in this [secret realm].
Only in this way can we continuously obtain sufficient benefits from the [Secret Realm].
At the same time, because the camp is too large, it is regarded as a provocation by predators in the jungle. Over the past half month, various suspected creatures have launched dozens of attacks here.
If it were an ordinary creature, the firepower of the logistics troops would not be a big deal, but the reason why the attackers were directly called suspected creatures was because all the creatures here were giant creatures and not carbon-based life forms.
Various types of metal behemoths ranging from twenty to forty meters in height can cause violent vibrations simply by appearing on the ground. At the same time, some relatively special individuals, named "Leaders" by the researchers of the logistics troops, can even expand to a height of eighty meters like blowing up a balloon, and their mass is also increased.
A giant metal life form of that magnitude was simply beyond the ability of the logistics troops to deal with with their firepower. In fact, if four or five summoners had not joined forces to repel it, the size of this camp would have been reduced to only one-tenth or even one-hundredth of its original size.
At the same time, during these few days, the [wanderers] and [losers] also began to return to the team, and those who returned claimed that they had been teleported to another place before arriving.
At the same time, there are also some who have not yet returned, and have learned from the summoner that the [Wanderers] or [Losers] have died.
Well, in addition to [Freeloaders], there are also records of deaths of [Losers].
One is Washington who was killed by Mo Cheng, and the other is [Louis XIII].
After returning to the camp to rest for a day, all summoners, [Wanderers] and [Losers] were called to a meeting.
The theme of the meeting was simple, which was how to explore this [secret realm] next to obtain more resources.
The reason they didn't do that before was because humans didn't have enough fighting power. But after most of the [losers] and [wanderers] returned, humans who felt they had reorganized their fighting power began to discuss how to move forward.
"In the past half month, our camp has initially established protective facilities that can withstand the attacks of more than ten large metal beasts at the same time, or even the attack of a leader-level metal beast."
"At the same time, the scouts we sent out discovered that there are intelligent creatures living in tribes a hundred kilometers away from us."
When the information that a civilization formed by intelligent life was discovered in the [Secret Realm] was announced, it immediately caused an uproar. Both scientists and summoners knew one thing, that is, all the secret realms currently on the surface were the ruins of civilizations. Only the remnants of civilization could be found, and no civilization that was still continuing had ever been discovered.
On the surface, all countries say this, but some conspiracy theorists insist that the five countries in the Security Council have actually contacted the still surviving secret civilizations, thereby gaining a huge advantage .
But in the eyes of the public, this view has always only existed in science fiction story picture books.
The [secret place] before us may be the first place discovered by humans where other civilizations exist.
Immediately, more than a dozen scholars from the logistics corps questioned whether the intelligence was true. They had no choice but to ask this question because the person speaking on the stage was from an island country in the Far East, and it was well known that they had been falsifying intelligence and information for a long time.
The spokesperson seemed to know that his identity made such information unreliable, so he put a few photos on the screen and looked at the representative of America.
"Ahem, there are people from our side among the investigators. After investigation, the intelligence is true. There is indeed a civilized race a hundred kilometers away."
At the beginning of this matter, the Japanese side had planned to get the UK to join in. Unfortunately, it was recently revealed that they had hidden problems in their nuclear facilities for three years, which suddenly brought their credibility to the same level as Japan.
If the British side were to lend a helping hand at this time, others would not doubt the authenticity of the intelligence, but would directly conclude that it was false intelligence.
"At the same time, we also discovered that the metal beasts in the jungle have a close relationship with the local civilization. We might have been attacked at the instigation of the local civilization. It is even possible that the criminals have reached a cooperation with the local civilization and ambushed us."
The spokesperson once again mentioned some intelligence obtained from the investigation, which made everyone frown. If the local civilization was hostile to them, some things would be difficult to proceed.
"Then let's vote. Should we adopt a peaceful or radical attitude towards contact with local civilizations?"
This should be the most important proposal today, or in this period of time. It is so important that it can only be discussed after the main combat forces of major countries have returned.
There were constant sounds of chairs being moved, cups being picked up and put down, and even people drinking water from the audience. Everyone knew that this proposal would affect everything that happened afterwards.
If the intention is to make peaceful contact, then regardless of the other party's attitude, if the criminal cooperates with the local civilization, then going to their door is equivalent to delivering a lamb to their door.
Every troop of each country that can explore the [secret realm] is an extremely important asset, and no one dares to lose this troop here.
In other words, no one present could be held responsible.
Because the troops here are not from just one country, but rather the [secret realm] exploration troops of various countries, any casualties resulting from any decision made here will be held accountable by other countries afterwards.
Small countries cannot bear that responsibility, but big countries...
Representatives of various countries would not risk being labeled as the first secret diplomatic criminal in human history.
But if you approach it in a radical way...
People have not forgotten how much damage those metal behemoths have caused over the past half month.
