Almost an hour later, at about 9:30, a small platform floating on the sea appeared in He Ao's field of vision, and the three yachts were getting closer and closer.
The platform undulated along with the waves, while He Ao's eyes looked into the distance.
At the end of the field of vision, there were obviously several ships similar to warships cruising.
"That must be a ship from the Western Kingdoms."
The commentator took out a monocular telescope from somewhere and stretched it to look into the distance.
The Western Earth is located to the west of the Central Earth. It is a subcontinent that covers approximately two-thirds of the area of the Central Earth. There are dozens of kingdoms scattered on that continent, who split the earth and established kings to conquer each other.
If you take the land route from the east to the west, you have to cross a continuous desert area.
When He Ao was very young, he thought that there was a Middle Earth and a Western Earth in this world, so there must be a Southern Earth, a Northern Earth, and an Eastern Earth.
But the fact is that there are only Middle Earth and Western Earth in this world.
The reason why China got its name is from an ancient saying:
The four directions above and below are the universe, the past and the present are the universe, and the earth is within it, so it is called the middle earth.
This sentence actually reflects the ancients’ simple understanding of the universe:
I am the center of the universe.
The name of Xitu comes from the fact that it is located to the west of Zhongtu.
And to the east of Middle-earth is the vast sea.
In fact, Middle-earth includes all places suitable for human habitation within a certain range into its territory.
To the east is the vast ocean, to the south are towering mountains and plateaus, to the north are thousands of miles of ice fields, and to the west are deserts and Gobis inhabited by humans and animals.
For the ancients, this was almost the largest territory that their productive forces could occupy. Similarly, Middle-earth is also the largest country in the world.
After entering modern times, with the prosperity of maritime transportation, China gradually became aware of the existence of the West.
"Oh, it's not a ship from the Western Kingdoms, it's a ship from the Theia Empire."
The commentator put away the telescope, "That's right, this is closer to their territorial waters."
The continent on which the Theia Empire is located was discovered only after the Age of Navigation began. Its area is about one-half of that of Middle Earth. This continent is neither close to the Western Earth nor the Eastern Earth.
The Tia Empire claims to be part of the Western Territory, but it is not accepted by the established powers of the Western Territory.
"They must be cruising nearby and have some ideas about our ruins," the commentator chuckled, "But things on the high seas belong to whoever discovers them first. If we discover them first and have big fists, they can't do anything to us. "
He Ao slowly withdrew his gaze and said nothing.
The yacht quickly approached the platform, and everyone in small assault boats began to log onto the platform.
The moment He Ao stepped onto the platform, a faint call sounded in his heart.
This call seemed to be some kind of mechanical signal, which was intermittent and could not convey a complete message. However, a feeling emerged in He Ao's heart. This feeling seemed to be some unknown existence whispering in his ear.
There is a channel that will be opened here soon.
Just in the sky.
He Ao raised his head and looked at the clear blue sky.
At the same time, everyone raised their heads and looked at the blue sky.
A flash of light obscured He Ao's sight.
"This time it's ten minutes early."
Yang De stood on the cruise ship, raised his hand and looked at his watch, "Fortunately we arrived early."
"The time when the ruins are opened is unstable every time."
Liu Zhengyun slowly walked out from behind him and looked at the empty platform.
"I heard that your daughter also went in? Is she awakened? She's not at level E yet, right?"
Yang De lit a cigarette and bit it on his mouth.
"She chose it herself. She is an adult and can decide her own destiny," Liu Zhengyun turned and walked towards the depths of the yacht.
"If she died inside, it can only be said that her life was bad. If she couldn't survive in the ruins, she wouldn't be able to survive in this changing world. This world will only become more and more dangerous." Gu Hui
Seagulls fly across the sky, taking away the wind's confusion.
——
When He Ao's vision slowly recovered, what he saw was the blue sky.
In this sky, three shining suns shine on the earth at the same time.
According to information from the institute, these three suns are not stars, but three light-emitting devices running in the orbit of the dwarf planet Relic.
He Ao picked up the telescope and looked at the sky.
I couldn't see anything, I just felt the sun was a bit dazzling.
He also sneezed.
I don’t know what equipment the institute used to observe the bodies of these three suns.
The flowing breath poured into his nasal cavity and condensed into a weak force in his chest.
Almost instinctively, He Ao guided these energies to flow through his body and began to practice.
I don't know whether it's because the concentration of extraordinary energy in the ruins is higher, or because He Ao's talent is stronger than that of Regit, but he clearly feels that the energy he gets from breathing at this moment is higher than the energy he gets in the dungeon world.
He lowered his head and looked around.
Several huge ones passed through the towering skyscrapers, fell in front of He Ao's eyes, inserted into the thick cement floor, and penetrated deeply into the earth, like a hill.
This root seems to be just an aerial root of a huge tree.
He Ao looked at his feet. Green grass stretched out along the gaps in the road, covering the whole world with lush green grass.
A gust of wind blew by, blowing up these half-meter-high grass.
He Ao's eyes followed the direction of the swaying grass.
Under the bright sunshine, a dilapidated and lifeless gray-white city came into view.
Towering trees cross the towering skyscrapers, and the green plants and gray-white buildings reflect each other.
"Jiligulujiligulu..."
A green robot with a red light that looked like a trash can slid past He Ao.
It made an alarm sound that He Ao couldn't understand, and suddenly crashed into the grass, became entangled with the grass, and rolled into the depths of the ruins.
He Ao is actually quite interested in these robots.
Judging from the dilapidation of the city, this city has been abandoned for at least hundreds of years.
During this long period of time, these robots actually still had energy to support their actions. He Ao was curious about what their energy source was.
However, thinking that if these robots were moved, they might be attacked by a group, He Ao temporarily suppressed his curiosity.
When he was about to leave, he would see if he could catch a lone one and take it apart.
While thinking, He Ao carried his armor-piercing ammunition box with a rocket launcher attached to it, bypassing the aerial roots and walking towards the depths of the city.
Since we are exploring, let’s just find a place and check it out first.
He Ao quickly followed the road to the edge of the skyscraper next to him. The bright sunlight cast a layer of light in front of him, which seemed to indicate that there was an open area behind the skyscraper.
He Ao continued to move forward, and just when he was about to step into this brilliance, he saw a metal piece that had faded in the grass on the side.
This seems to be a street sign that fell here.
He Ao picked up the street sign and was stunned for a moment.
Finally, he opened his mouth slightly and slowly read the words on the street sign.
Upper···Lin···Middle···Street···
This is the text of the first area...
He Ao felt his body stiffen. He raised his head and looked ahead.
At this moment, he had escaped from the shadow of the building, and a huge dark tower piercing into the clouds appeared in his field of vision.
