Chapter five hundred and forty fourth gunpowder keg
Early the next morning, a group of carefully selected expedition members and a group of rotation soldiers, a total of more than 200 people, embarked on a transport ship towards the central island where the Bolier Alliance is located.
A group of pioneers have established an embassy on the central island. Now, it is almost a month since a group of personnel should be replaced and the rotation work should be carried out.
"I don't know how they are investigating..." Lu Yiming looked at the endless sea level, and always had a not-so-great premonition.
The only risk now is the various civilizations near the central island.
The transport ship was quite fast and took nearly 20 hours to reach its destination.
The traffic flow on the central island seems to have decreased a lot compared to a month ago. At first glance, it seems to have decreased by more than 30%.
The controls at the Bolier Union dock were very relaxed. They just registered and checked the goods briefly, and then everyone officially landed.
After Lu Yiming saw his acquaintance, the two sides connected with the code and passed the safety device to detect each other, and both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Col. How have you been doing during this period? No problem?" Lu Yiming asked: "Why do I feel the atmosphere here... is a bit strange... the popularity is not very strong."
Dai Lunhui replied: "Yes, the traffic volume has dropped by at least 30%. I don't know what so many civilizations are doing."
"There are also some people who go back to their islands and no longer open trading venues here... They may have sensed some special risks."
"The overall life was peaceful and there was no conflict with other civilizations. The embassy was built and there were several small transactions. Wen, we also bought a lot of supernatural items from other civilizations."
Because Dai Lun has the ability to predict, he was sent here to perform diplomatic missions, which has been a whole month.
If something really happens, you can also take an anti-gravity plane and escape as soon as possible.
"But we pretend to be poor here, there is nothing good to trade." Lu Yiming laughed twice.
He looked at the surrounding facilities of the embassy. Well, it was a simple house made of iron sheets and soundproofing boards. It had no other advantages except for the fast construction speed.
The entire embassy has only three floors in total: the second floor is a residential area, and everyone lives a difficult life. The soldiers' rooms are 8 people, and the ambassadors and senior officers have a very small single room. There is also a kitchen, a restaurant, and a bathroom shared by multiple people on the second floor.
A special anti-gravity aircraft is placed on the third floor.
The aircraft is not large in size, only 15 meters long and has no combat function. Its internal volume is quite spacious. If it is forced, it can stuff all the people in the embassy into and evacuate urgently.
As for the first floor, it is naturally a place to deal with people, and there is nothing special about it. Some simple technological products: light bulbs, alcohol, fuel, food, etc. The most expensive one is firearms and ammunition, but the quantity is not very large. For ancient civilizations, firearms and ammunition are the most attractive.
The Great Jin Empire, an ally of the Yunhai, had no interest in foreign trade, and they had no resources to trade. The emperor of the Great Jin Empire only wanted to industrialize and had few bargaining chips on hand, so he simply sold their territory to the Yunhai at a suitable price. Otherwise, the embassy would have to be opened in half.
"The only two trades were the ancient civilizations here. They bought some firearms and they valued the armed forces very much. There was a civilization that revealed a small amount of information to us. They believed that a huge crisis would occur in the future." Dai Lun closed the door of the room and his expression gradually became serious.
"But the source of the crisis...is not clear yet."
Perhaps because the survey results these days are not very beautiful, Dai Lun showed such a look.
Lu Yiming sighed and said, "Of course we know that there may be a crisis here. The value of this information is too low... How did you transport that plane on?"
"Using Liu Xuweiyi's space ability, after dismantling the aircraft, install it first, and then reassemble it on the third floor. The structure of this aircraft is not complicated, don't worry, it is absolutely reliable at critical moments."
Liu Xuwei stood beside him and laughed twice.
Dai Lun lowered his voice and looked around for a while: "It's strange, I'll tell you something... the Bolier civilization doesn't care about anything... or they have something particularly important to do, so they can't see anyone in every few days."
"In the trading market, tax evasion is very serious, but they don't care at all. All the rules are useless."
"I noticed it." Lu Yiming said: "There are not many people on the dock, which is a bit abnormal."
Dai Lun whispered: "What is the Boril civilization doing? It's hard for us to detect."
"But some civilizations are making small moves. According to our investigation, it may be that human trafficking... The flow of people here has decreased, and there have been major changes within the civilization."
Liu Xuwei also said: "Just yesterday afternoon, a slight earthquake occurred under our feet. According to the inspection of the instrument, it is likely that it was caused by a violent explosion!"
Lu Yiming swallowed, was silent for a while, and asked, "Explosion...what are they doing? Are they nuclear bombs?"
"Maybe...No. No traces of nuclear radiation were detected. According to calculations, the blasting equivalent is about 10,000 tons, which is also a relatively large bomb. We are trying to find a way to investigate the projection ability of the Bolier civilization. If the other party can launch a missile, it may threaten the Yunhai."
This ghost place is like a powder barrel. It usually looks harmonious, but in fact it is in a turbulent tide.
More than 20 civilizations are crowded together, and various forces are complicated. Some civilizations that worship evil gods, and the host Bolier civilization, don’t know what the hell is doing, conflicts may break out at any time.
Fortunately, they chose a remote island...
Even if a conflict breaks out, it will be difficult to affect it for a while.
"There is one more thing to report..." Dai Lun thought for a while and said, "In just one month, two strange civilizations came! They are all ancient civilizations that worship evil gods, and their mental state is different from that of normal people."
"These two strange civilizations have caused some trouble in the trading market. We took this opportunity to distinguish several potential allies."
“Which one?”
Dai Lun stretched out a few fingers: "There are three civilizations worshipped by ancestors and do not worship evil gods. They are all civilizations in the Eastern cultural circle, with a reliability of more than 95%. In addition, at least 10 civilizations worship evil gods, including the Boril civilization, which occupy the central island."
"The geographical location of this world is absolutely special, otherwise it would be impossible for so many civilizations to come here."
"Yes..." Lu Yiming nodded and was silent for a while. He was analyzing the seriousness of the matter.
This place is closer to the ideal world, but there is a layer of protection from the silent realm that keeps the physical rules intact.
He grabbed his head and tried to calm himself down.
Dai Lun said again: "The base camp of the Borial civilization is in the middle of the island, where it is very vigilant. We have done a simple investigation."
"I always feel a sense of vague uneasiness, but I can only predict for 3 hours. So, often after the little demon has a bad feeling, I will predict it."
The little demon also came to the embassy, but it... became fatter and fatter. Under the superior living conditions, this little demon full of ambitions completely fell.
Anyway, no matter what, its perception is still sensitive and can feel danger earlier than humans.
"It had two premonitions of danger, but... there was no crisis. Another strange thing."
Lu Yiming was silent for a while, "Last time I brought a lot of excellent scouts, did the relevant investigation fail?"
Dai Lun shook his head: "Only half of the success... Affected by the silent field, air vehicles are prone to losing signals and are easily discovered by other civilizations. As for superpowers such as stealth, they have also suffered greatly weakened, so the investigation is not particularly smooth."
Dai Lun called Comrade Gondor, who was mainly responsible for the investigation. His main ability was "color change", that is, he could be invisible. In addition, his second ability was super perception, and he was the most sharp scout of the Yunhai.
When Gondor saw Lu Yiming, he saluted. Gondor reported with a serious expression: "Other civilizations are on their own islands, which are far away from here. It is difficult for us to investigate clearly what the hell is going on. So we focus our investigation on the Borial civilization of the central island."
"The core area of the Borial civilization is residential and military areas. They have been developing on the island for three years. Most of the civilians already own their own houses... When I sneaked into it, I saw some very strange churches. The traffic in the church was very large, and many people worshiped in the church."
"Their mental state... is not very normal," Gondor paused and said, "It was as if they were drunk, walking a little bit floating, and shouting something from time to time."
"There are a few people with wounds on their arms."
"There is a wound?" Lu Yiming asked.
"Maybe... some blood was released." Gondor swallowed, "I smelled a faint smell of blood."
The small room suddenly fell into silence, and Lu Yiming couldn't help but curse: "Damn, it's so fucking crazy!"
"I observed that there are many individuals with strong perception in the Borial civilization... because I was afraid of being discovered, and just glanced at me from a distance for a few times, I temporarily stayed away from these mentally ill patients and went to other areas."
"Have the report been written?"
“Written.”
