Star Railroad: Great Guardian of Beloberg

"Is this possible?"

The matter of the Immortal Boat was too complicated to explain, so Alex first mentioned the existence of the tree. But this matter was shocking enough, and everyone was talking at once. Ying was thinking all the time, and said, "Are there any traces of them on the ground?"

"Of course."

Alex said: "There are records of demon wars in history, but in the end there was no winner. Everyone lost. I think they were eaten by that tree."

When Alex first came here, he had already explored the ground. He saw the remains of civilization, but no corpses. No humans, animals, fish, or plants, nothing. He didn't think much about it at the time, but now he thinks that they were all assimilated by the tree.

"Ying, that thing!" Lei Dian Guo Beng on the side suddenly remembered something, pulled up his hat and took a look at Ying.

"what."

"Just before I came down." Ying explained to Alex, "There is a sapling growing outside the Third Inazuma Castle. It is small, but it radiates warmth and feels soft to the touch. We regard it as a sign of the revival of all things... Could it be that this is the tree you are talking about?"

Ying also showed a worried look on his face. They had no idea what that thing was. They just thought that the appearance of such a vigorous sapling in the snow was a good sign. But now it seems that it may be a sign of destruction.

"The Zandik Building collapsed!"

"Kafka did it!"

"Kafka!"

“Give me a cup of KK”

Suddenly, there was a thunderous roar outside. Apparently, while they were talking, Kafka had already successfully knocked down the Zandik Building. The four people living in New Kanrea all showed happy expressions, which meant that Zandik's rule was over! But the faces of the others were not very good.

Because no one knew where the factories, facilities, and laboratories of Zandik were. Even after so many years of fighting, they tried to search for intelligence and sabotage, but they still couldn't find them. The collapse of the company does not mean the collapse of Zandik.

"We need to get back to the surface immediately." Ying said to the others, "Let's go now. I'm afraid the attack will come soon."

We must go to the ground and take charge immediately.

"Alex." Kafka's voice came from outside. She dusted off her clothes and didn't look like she had just cut down a building. She said, "Something has changed. The star core has been replaced. The stuff on the 94th floor has become a fake that emits the same vibration. Wow, there are a lot of people."

"What else?" Alex asked, and Kafka spread her hands and said, "Someone knew they couldn't stop me, so the moment I showed up at the Zandik Building, all the information inside was destroyed."

"Then let's go quickly and get to the ground."

The things must have been taken by Zandik, and the remaining mystery was focused on Zandik alone. Alex frowned. He had not found the other party so far, so he could not underestimate this guy.

If they were going to leave, they naturally had to leave together. Yae Shinko also chose to evacuate and squeezed into the hovercraft driven by Lei Dianying with everyone else. They went around in circles for many times before leaving the city of New Canrea. After traveling underground for a while, they began to float up.

Everyone is full of doubts now.

"Zandik, what do you know about him?"

"The one who knows him best here should be Albedo."

Albedo pointed at himself. Seeing Alex Rand looking over, he knew what he was capable of, so he said, "My creator, Reindort, is a man called [Gold]. He once had a friendship with Zandik and studied academics together."

Albedo didn't know much. He only knew that his creator, Reindort, was a remnant of the surface world. During the Cataclysm, there was no protection from any ancestors or demons. He and his partners at the time built a self-sufficient underground kingdom, of course, a shallow underground kingdom - Kanria. Reindort was the chief technology officer and chief alchemist there.

As for Zandik, he was an outsider. He had exchanged techniques with Rhinedot, who admired his knowledge. But the good times didn't last long, and soon the judgment fell on Kanreya.

"I was born after the fall of Kanria, so I don't know much about the fall of Kanria. Now it seems that it may have something to do with Zandik. From the timeline, Kanria fell not long after he arrived. It is indeed very suspicious. My creator left me in Mondstadt and disappeared. Many years later, I heard about Zandik again."

Albedo looked at the people in Inazuma City and said, "I originally joined you because I wanted to know what Zandik had done. Sorry, this is all I know."

"Anything else is fine," Alex asked. "Appearance, appearance, code name, title, anything is fine. Can you remember anything?"

"Yes." Albedo's eyes lit up, and he said as he remembered something: "Dottore, it seems that his name will also be. Also, my creator will call him Doctor. And... Hara, Hara..."

"Genshin Impact?" Alex couldn't help but ask after seeing that he had been trying to start the game for a long time.

"No, no." Albedo tried hard to recall. Kafka said beside him, "Doctor, you don't mean the original Doctor, do you?"

"Yes!" Albedo nodded and replied, "Yes, my creator once called him Dr. Primal!"

Kafka turned her head and looked at Alex, saying, "Didn't you just sell the robes of the original doctor a few years ago? And judging from this, Zandik has been here for at least a thousand years."

Genius Club #64, original doctor.

Of course Alex knew the name of the original doctor, not to mention that he had auctioned off his rare item on the dark web a few years ago, the [Doctor's Robe] - which amplified the power of destiny and was considered the strongest even in the world of rare items.

Chapter 125 The Third Inazuma City

I didn't expect to hear his name again, and even have a connection with the IXth Agency. Alex was very surprised that this name appeared here.

The Genius Club has had people who caused great losses. One of them was Rupert I [Emperor], the initiator of the Omnic Crisis, who developed the [Anti-Life Equation], which would cause genetic damage to organic life. Of course, although he passed away, it is rumored that there is still a universal disk loaded with the Anti-Life Equation circulating in the universe. No one knows when the next catastrophe will come.

Alex felt that Elio might know, or even that the disk had become his trump card.

Besides Emperor #27, another villain is Dr. Primordial #64. He has committed many heinous crimes and has been on the run in the universe all his life. The one who has the most serious grudges is Sea Ranger.

They admire Lan's fighting violence with violence, praise Lan's decisiveness in killing, and believe that the kindness and justice of the universe must be upheld through personal behavior. He can be said to be a knight in the universe, a knight who is decisive and not a saint.

The Rangers once destroyed Dr. Proto's plan to revert to his original form, and then hunted him across countless universes. But Dr. Proto walked in space, always hanging on the pursuers, and the end of the story seemed a bit mysterious. The Rangers suddenly faded out of the universe, but there are still rangers who don't believe in the doctor's [presumed death] and are still chasing him. Dr. Proto has no whereabouts, only a doctor's robe, which is hung on the dark web of the Ninth Agency.

A ranger once said, "The Ninth Agency does exist, and everything about Dr. Proto is buried there." As a member of the Ninth Agency, Alex doesn't know much about this matter. It's impossible that Dr. Proto, as a member of the Genius Club, is still lurking in the Ninth Agency. The only reasonable possibility is that the doctor died at the hands of a big shot in the Ninth Agency.

"Don't worry too much about the timeline." Alex said to Kafka, "If he is really the original doctor, he has the ability of gravity walking."

It is a kind of gravitational capture technology application, using only gravity to walk freely in space. The company has not been able to crack this secret until now. And gravity... gravitational time dilation effect, everyone knows that there are many places in the universe where the flow of time is completely different due to gravity.

"Doctor Primal, is he very famous among you?" Albedo asked, taking the opportunity to ask.

"Let's put it this way. He has killed more people than you have ever seen..."

"hiss."

“Hundreds of millions times more.”

Several people looked at each other blankly. This was beyond their imagination. Alex was also thinking: the original doctor of the genius club, plus a star core, plus the flesh and blood tree of abundant miracles. The crisis here may not be much less than that on the immortal ship. Even if he is a villain in the universe, he is also a genius who has been received by Bo Shi Zun. He has spent hundreds of years here, and he is definitely not greedy for a planet. This kind of thing is not in his eyes.

"Be careful, Alex." Kafka looked at Alex and said with concern. Alex looked at her and understood why she reminded him that the star core was special. Just like the star core hunter wanted to do, Dr. Primordial might want to do the same thing. Moreover, although Xing's body was special, it was not as good as the world tree here.

If that's the case, Alex must also be serious.

The basin between the mountains on the plateau is where the third Inazuma City is located. After the original city was destroyed, they were forced to flee to the ground and survive in this place that is not covered by the sea. But obviously, it is not so happy to be on the ground in such a place full of ice and snow and radiation.

You know, there are still some wild animals around Belloberg, but here, it is truly quiet and desolate. Moreover, they have neither the protection of high walls nor the protection of Krippo.

"Compared to when I left, there have been a lot of changes here." Yae Shinko held her tail in her palm and rubbed it. Even though an ice wall had been built nearby to block the cold wind, the temperature was still very low.

Alex was also looking at the city under construction. There were scaffoldings and unfinished buildings everywhere. In the distance, there were several chimneys spewing thick smoke into the sky. That was the core energy tower of the city. Life here was built entirely around the energy tower and the nearby factories.

A city that was in ruins and under construction. Alex looked at the people walking back and forth in heavy clothes, breathing out cold white mist, and said, "Are there only women left?"

At first glance, there was not a single man in sight, it was a complete land of women.

"Most men died on the battlefield fighting Kanreya. The only thing to be thankful for is that the ratio of boys to girls among young children is also balanced." Ying said helplessly, "We haven't had a newborn for a long time. We have to wait at least six years for the first batch of boys to grow up, but they will be under great pressure in the future. They will need at least five wives to ensure population growth. We have already lost the cultivation of artificial humans in the war."

"Where does the food come from here?"

"Greenhouse." Ying pointed to the location of a factory and said, "The staple food is all provided by the greenhouse laboratory. We have found a staple food cycle of fourteen days. Energy and heating rely on nuclear fusion technology. Compared with these, radiation sickness is more difficult. We are now short of the raw materials for extracting anti-radiation drugs."

Although small, it has all the necessary organs. Alex took a quick look and found that the system here is healthier than that of Beloberg. They have researched on synthetic plants and proteins, and nuclear fusion is also possible. In terms of biology, they are doing very well in this situation. Not only do they have the technology of cloning artificial humans and gene adjustment, but they also do a good job in preventing and treating radiation sickness.

It can be seen that there is a fairly sound scientific research team here, much better than Beloberg's group of people who can only assemble robots by hand.

"Fortunately, the research team preserved it well. You are lucky."

Alex nodded and said something. The four people from New Canrea were looking up at the sky curiously, but Yae Shenzi sighed and said, "There is no team at all. Ying is responsible for all the research. Even the weapons, machinery, and AI were all developed by her alone."

ha?

All-rounder?

Alex looked at Lei Dianying with some surprise. Such all-rounders in the field of scientific research are not uncommon.

"No, I can't compare to Zandik." Ying shook his head and said, "There are many things I can't do."

"Then can you cook?" Alex couldn't help but ask.

"No." Ying said directly: "We are not qualified and do not have the time to cook food. Come with me, let's go see the sapling first."

"It's Shadow who's back."

"Sister Ying!"

"Great, Master Ying is back. There are some problems with the automatic construction equipment in the factory, and the engineers can't solve it. Please go and take a look."

"Master Ying, the greenhouse output has begun to decrease in the past two days. I don't know which step went wrong. Please take a look quickly."

"Master Ying, the energy tower needs maintenance. When can you give us some instructions?"

A group of "fangirls" quickly surrounded Ying, asking questions one after another. Ying could only stop and briefly answer their questions, so as to restore the project that was suspended due to his departure to normal as soon as possible.

The general loyally guarded Ying, and even though they were all her own people, she did not let down her guard. Because everyone knew that this city was built entirely by one person - Lei Dianying.

Without her, people might die on this grassland in just three or four days.

"More tired than your Great Guardian." Kafka crossed her arms and commented. She had seen many civilizations, but it was not uncommon to see one like this one that had to control everything. Alex looked at the shadow who took over one document after another and gave his opinion quickly. He also felt a little dazed. The Great Guardian would not have so many technical problems to control.

Military affairs, people's livelihood, and technology were all handled by one person. He looked at the city again. It can be said that she supported everything by herself.

"Ying has other things to do, so don't surround her for now." Lei Dian Guo Beng couldn't help but go over and disperse the crowd in a bad mood, while Ying smiled and said to others soothingly: "Go to the office building and wait for me. It's cold here, and we have other things to do."

"If you don't mind, you can assign some tasks to us." Elhaisen also felt the difficulty here. If they wanted to search on the ground, they also needed a base and a good relationship with this place. He said: "Nashida can take care of plants, Dishia is an expert in machinery, and Seno can catch insects."

Although catching insects may sound funny, it is an important source of high-quality protein. It is not easy to find some insects in this world.

"Thank you for your help." Ying looked back at them and said, "Let's go take a look at the sapling first."

The sapling was just outside the Third Inazuma Castle, but when they arrived, there was only a hole in the ground.

The general poked it with the handle of his umbrella and said, "It's not that it was dug out, it seems to have shrunk back into the ground."

Ying showed a confused look and glanced at Alex. At this moment, Lei Dian Guo Beng's face changed drastically. He turned his hat, lowered the screen, and said, "A large heat source reaction appeared 20 kilometers away. From the thermal imaging image..."

"It's a 30-meter-tall giant! He's started to move, and his target is the Third Inazuma City!"

"Legends really don't lie." Ying immediately began to speak: "National collapse, General, prepare to attack! Use those two test subjects!"

hum - hum - hum -

The entire Third Inazuma City suddenly sounded a red alarm light. Ying immediately led the others to the command center. As she walked, she said, "It is rumored that there is not only ice and radiation on the ground, but also terrifying existences, which are called [Apostles] in history. It was not until today that I understood what they are."

"The fruit from that tree." Kafka nodded thoughtfully, noticing Alex's expression was a little strange, and asked, "What's wrong?"

It's nothing.

Alex looked at the artillery batteries that were gradually rising near the wall, and the red current that was sweeping in from afar like a sea of ​​blood, and said, "Can you stop it?"

"Try it." Ying led them into the command center and said, "We must take out the things that were originally prepared for Zandik now."

Amid a loud rumbling sound, in the center of the city, two large robots connected by cables instantly ejected from the ground and landed on the ground with a thud.

"RD-01, the Secret Master of Qiye Jizhao..."

"RD-02, the God of War..."

"Attack!"

The two robots, driven by Ying's two "children", instantly rushed towards the sea of ​​blood. Alex looked at the images on the screen of the command center and said, "Did you build this too?"

"Yeah." Ying looked at the screen nervously and said, "It's not difficult to combine some biotechnology and mechanical technology."

Alex discovered a problem - people in this world rarely ask others for help, such as asking themselves for help. But... Alex is really old now.

In this wasteland era, she was able to develop so many things, with technology covering all aspects without any flaws. She was fully qualified to be the chief scientist of Beloberg. If she were allowed to access cosmic knowledge, she might be able to create more interesting things.

"Are you interested in working in the universe?"

"Thank you for your kindness." Ying refused without hesitation and said, "I promised my sister that I would not leave Inazuma."

You can't leave Inazuma, but Inazuma can pack up and leave. My house is quite big. Alex already had an idea in his mind. It would be hard to find such a smart, capable and ponytailed big sister if he missed it.

No, please restrain your expression. Kafka is watching you.

Chapter 126 The Apostles are coming!

Although the Third Inazuma City only looks like a frame on the ground, when the war comes, many facilities suddenly appear underground, from metal walls to counterattack artillery. This is not just a city, but also a fortress built with fortress specifications. From the perspective of cosmic people, the firepower may not be sufficient. The artillery hidden in the iceberg by Beloberg was more outrageous than this, but that was the product of trade with the universe. With the scarce resources and limited technology here, this is already a miraculous scale.

"Take shelter quickly, quickly enter the underground shelter!"

"Follow my instructions and protect everyone going underground!"

The female officer on the ground kept calling out to all personnel to go underground. All the people were running hurriedly, but the temperature around them had begun to rise gradually, and the smell of blood in the air became stronger.

boom--

The first wave of red waves came from afar and hit the metal wall directly, shaking the whole city. Jiujo, who was in charge of commanding the army, stood on the three-meter-high metal partition wall. The splashing sea of ​​blood dripped on her arm. She immediately felt a stinging pain. A piece of flesh on her arm had been corroded by the drop of red water. After the flesh and blood melted, it also turned into red water, as if controlled by something and returned to the red sea that hit the metal wall.
