Dan Heng, who appeared in the corner at some point, suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention. "If we look at the combat capability, it is indeed more appropriate for Xiao Danheng to stay... But why did he suddenly want to stay on the train this time?" Jizi asked curiously. She had also seen Dan Heng's strength. Although not as exaggerated as Si Luo's, he was still a strong man in the galaxy. It was just that he seemed to be burdened with something. He had always been taciturn and rarely took the initiative to ask to do something like he did now. "There are some things I'd like to think about alone... Sorry, Miss Himeko." "No need to apologize. So... Dan Heng will stay on the train to provide support this time. Si Luo and I will accompany you." Since it was a personal matter, Ji Zi did not ask any further questions, but smiled, put down the teacup and stood up. "That's great! I can act together with Sister Himeko again!" "Is there anything I need to prepare?" Si Luo didn't care. After all, solving the star core crisis was a good experience for him.
"Whatever supplies you need, you can just replenish them on the planet. This is also a compulsory course for Wumingke." Ji Zi responded with a chuckle, then came to the anchor point in the carriage first, motioned for Si Luo and the others to come to her side, and then used the power of the Pioneering Star God to directly teleport them to an anchor point left in Yalilo. "It's so cold!" The cold air blew past, making Ling Xing shiver subconsciously, and she instinctively hid in Si Luo's arms. Si Luo chuckled and held the girl's slender waist. The intimate posture like that of a couple and the touch of the girl's body soon awakened the companion sword and gently pressed it against Xing's buttocks. The girl's height was a perfect match for him. When he hugged her from behind, he could just rest his head on hers. The position of the companion sword was perfect. If there were no robes and clothes blocking him, Xing would not even need to stand on tiptoe. He could just bend down slightly to allow Si Luo to gallop freely behind him. "..." Xing, who was curled up in Si Luo's arms, seemed to have noticed something. Her originally fair cheeks turned slightly red, but her body did not resist and she even moved closer to him. Although it was relatively simple, she still had some understanding of this most basic common sense. "Well... it's beautiful, but at this temperature, can anyone really survive in this environment?" San Yue Qi, who originally had the ice attribute, didn't feel much. He stretched out his hand and poked the surrounding ice crystals, then asked curiously. "I'm not sure. After all, the last time we docked was thousands of years ago, and Yalilo was not like this back then... But re-entering the information of this planet into the think tank is also one of our goals this time." Ji Zi responded with a smile, and her eyes fell on Si Luo and Xing, as if she had noticed something. "Well before we act, let me explain that as an assessment of the new recruits, how we proceed will be decided by Xiao Sanyue and Xing." "As for Si Luo, this time you will be the guardian of Xiao Sanyue and the others, just like me. You will only be responsible for protecting their safety and providing some auxiliary help." Although Si Luo was also going out for the first time, he had behaved like a reliable adult so far, so Ji Zi naturally would not put him together with San Yueqi and the others. Moreover, with his ability, if he takes it seriously, he might just enter the speed pass mode and finish the journey and return to the train on the same day. "Hmm...Do you want Xing and I to decide together..." March 7th showed a conflicted look.
"Don't worry, even if you make a mistake, I will help you deal with it." Ji Zi's gaze was too dangerous, and Xing had almost adapted to the environment here, so Si Luo decisively let go of the girl, walked to March Seven and touched her head. "I feel relieved with these words, Boss!" Sanyueqi immediately showed a happy smile, squinted his eyes and enjoyed his head pat for a while, then got together with Xing enthusiastically and began to discuss the next course of action. "How about it? Can you sense that something is wrong with this planet?" Ji Zi, who was standing by, looked at the two cute girls quietly and asked casually. "Well... I'm afraid this world has been almost completely eroded..." Si Luo didn't even need to sense it to realize that the vitality of the planet beneath his feet was on the verge of extinction. Coupled with the special energy fluctuations in the air, it was likely that there were not many living creatures left on the entire planet. "That's it..." Ji Zi nodded slightly, her eyes swept across her lower body inconspicuously, and then looked into the distance again. Chapter 36: The Everlasting City - Belloburg "We've decided! According to what Sister Jizi said about opening up a path, [exploring], [understanding], [establishing], [connecting], we will move in one direction and look for traces of the original inhabitants of this planet!" While Si Luo and Ji Zi were discussing the information and changes of Yalilo oVI in the think tank, Sanyueqi also discussed the next course of action with Xing. "Then let's go... let's see if we can find a place to rest before nightfall." Si Luo and Ji Zi ended their conversation and looked at San Yueqi and the others with a chuckle. "Ok!" Sanyueqi responded with full energy, and then led the way happily, while Xing followed closely behind her, and from time to time they got together to observe the new things. Compared to the nameless guests dealing with the planet's core crisis, they are now more like lively girls out for a picnic, adding a touch of cheerfulness to this cold world. "Well!!" Half an hour later, accompanied by Sanyueqi's exclamation, Si Luo and Ji Zi, who were following behind her, hurriedly quickened their pace and came to her side. "what happened?" "Boss! There seems to be a frozen person here!" "..." Si Luo glanced at the ice sculpture in front of San Yue Qi and the corpse inside, and shook his head slightly. "It's too late to save it. Its life force has long since disappeared. And judging by the time, it has probably been frozen for hundreds of years." "Hundreds of years..." "Don't think too much, it's time to move on..." Ji Zi touched the girl's head, and her gentle words quickly restored San Yueqi's spirit, and that energetic smile appeared on her face again.
"Ah." "However, it seems that the problem of this planet is more serious than expected... If it had become like this hundreds of years ago, it is hard to imagine how much life could survive." Ji Zi's expression was a little heavy for a moment, but she was an adult after all, so she quickly hid these emotions. As they moved forward, more and more ice sculptures appeared in their sight. Many of the soldiers wearing uniform armor maintained a relaxed posture, as if they were caught off guard and frozen in an instant. "Boss...are there really still people alive on this planet?" Faced with this frozen world full of deathly silence, even San Yueqi has lost his former vitality. He and Xing walk beside Si Luo, seeking the warmth and sense of security he brings. "Don't underestimate the tenacity of life. This planet hasn't completely died yet, which means there is still life on it." Si Luo stroked San Yueqi's head, and the warm feeling gradually dispelled the girl's confusion. "And our task now is to find them as soon as possible." "Ok!" Perhaps Si Luo's words worked. After that, San Yueqi had no intention of resting at all. She focused on finding a way forward. It was not until night fell that they finally found a ray of light in the frozen world. "It's a human city!" Gazing from afar at the huge city standing in the snow like a fortress, March Seven excitedly grabbed Si Luo's arm. "Boss! There really are still people alive!" Having witnessed countless lives frozen along the way, the girl was naturally excited when she saw the glory of civilization again. "Then, the next task is to obtain intelligence about this world and see if we can find any traces of the star core." "Ok!" The stone in his heart fell to the ground, and San Yueqi's steps became much lighter. He took Si Luo and the others and headed straight towards the city. As they got closer, this city standing on ice and snow brought a little shock to San Yueqi and the others. The huge and extremely thick city walls are as majestic as mountains. The metallic texture and the densely packed weapons and equipment on the city walls make it look like a huge war fortress no matter how you look at it. "Stop! Who is it!" When they were approaching the city gate, accompanied by a gunshot, two teams of armored soldiers suddenly rushed out from several dilapidated houses on the outskirts and quickly surrounded several people. "We are travelers from outside the planet and we have no ill intentions." The technological tree of this planet is not low, and it even started exploring the universe thousands of years ago. Therefore, Ji Zi did not find other excuses and told them her identity frankly. After all, they came here to help the residents of this world, so there is no need to hide or conceal their identities. "Traveler from outside the planet?" The leading team leader carefully examined their clothes, and then his attitude softened a little. "We are the Silver Mane Guards guarding the Everlasting City of Beloberg. No outsiders have visited this city for a long time, so before the instructions from above are issued, please rest in our base for a while."
There was nothing wrong with the Silver Mane Guard's words and attitude, so Ji Zi and Si Luo looked at each other, agreed to his proposal, and followed them into the city. Of course, they did not enter the inner city area directly, but were taken to an outpost near the city wall. The team leader left a few people to watch them and quickly left the room. Not long after, a blond man wearing light armor and with a determined expression, accompanied by several Silver Mane Iron Guards, entered the room where Si Luo and the others were resting. "I am the Guard Officer Jeppard Langdao of the Silver Mane Iron Guard. I am here to protect all the travelers in compliance with the orders of the Great Guardian." Jeppard looks quite young, but gives people an unusually calm feeling. "The Great Guardian? Is he the ruler of this city?" Sanyueqi and Xing are not the type who are good at socializing, so Jizi did not make things difficult for them and took the initiative to take on the task of negotiation. "Yes, the current Grand Guardian is Ms. Cocolia Rand, and it was that lady who appointed me as your bodyguard." "Then, could you please, Mr. Guard Officer, take us to visit that lady?" Ji Zi naturally knew what it meant to have such a big shot in the army serve as their guard, so without waiting for the other party to speak, she took the initiative to ask to meet the great guardian. According to the situation of this planet, this city is probably the last bastion. Therefore, whether they want to obtain information about this world or get help from these indigenous people, they will have to contact each other sooner or later. "I can lead you there, but we will need the consent of the Great Guardian." "no problem!" "Then please follow me." Jeppard led them into the city, a fortress that seemed to be the last line of defense for mankind, and showed everything inside to Si Luo and the others. Chapter 37: Initial Negotiation Unlike the expected desolation and even despair, there are still many pedestrians on the streets of this city, and even occasionally you can see children playing and fighting. In addition, with heating facilities and towering buildings everywhere, it is just like an ordinary city. It is hard to imagine that their planet is on the verge of extinction. "This city and the outside world are really two extremes... Is this also the credit of the Great Guardian?" Si Luo and Ji Zi followed behind Jeppard side by side, looking at the surrounding environment and asked casually. Compared with the ice and snow outside, the temperature in the city is as constant as spring. This abnormal scene cannot be achieved by those simple heating facilities. "This is the blessing of the miracle of Pramya, and also the credit of the successive great guardians." Jeppard responded without hesitation, and when he talked about this, his originally resolute face also showed a little reverence. Although there were many new terms, Si Luo did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he looked towards the center of the city with interest, towards the magnificent fortress connected to the high tower. This is also their destination this time, the place where all the successive great guardians and their successors ruled and lived - Klipper Castle! ... With Jeppard leading the way, Si Luo and his companions soon boarded a special train, which headed straight to Kripalburg along a specific track on the ground. The Great Guardian naturally received the news in advance, so after Jeppard brought Si Luo and the others to Krippo Castle and got off the car, before they even reported, several guards came up to them and took Si Luo and the others up the stairs. After entering the castle, they walked up the stairs to a door at the highest point. As the guards pushed open the door, Si Luo and Ji Zi looked at each other, then walked in first.
"On behalf of Belloberg, I would like to welcome you, the anonymous passengers of the Star Express." "..." As early as when Si Luo heard the name of the Great Guardian from Jeppard, he was actually mentally prepared, but when he saw this noble lady who also had blonde hair and looked quite familiar, he still felt a little nervous. "The Great Guardian knows about us?" "We have had contact with the Interstellar Peace Company. Although no outsiders have visited us for a long time due to changes in the environment, it does not mean that we know nothing about the outside world."
