Chapter 525 Behind Him (Twenty-eight)

Stepping onto the vast ice field, the group slowly moved northward. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the cold wind gradually weakened and the ice and snow under their feet gradually melted.

What comes into view is a emerald green oasis that appears like a miracle. It is like a crystal clear jade embedded in the world of ice and snow, seeming particularly unreal in this desolate world.

Marika immediately recognized the place as the Emerald Glade where she once worked.

The mine that once seemed so magnificent to her now looked like a tiny toy under her giant body.

However, this mine had been the prison of her childhood, the mountain that weighed on her heart from which she could not escape.

"Once upon a time, my whole family worked in it." The giant's lips opened and the voice echoed in the sky.

The two Dianes seemed to want to talk but hesitated and finally said nothing.

"What happened next?" Marilyn asked, tilting her head in a friendly manner.

Marika and Marilyn's long blond hair was blown by the wind, tangled together, and the sounds overlapped.

"Afterwards, all I remember was that a cold night struck and almost everyone in the Emerald Forest died. I had to flee alone."

"My memory is similar. A cold night came and I fled with my mother..."

Diane's head sighed softly, but he looked up and glared at Diane again.

The mineral veins in the Emerald Forest were hidden under dense vegetation. When the giant stepped on them, the mine collapsed and several strange ores popped out.

After just one look, Liu Sheng, Ling Fu, Xu Dajuan, Kuang Bowen, and Ling Yuke, the talented people, all stared with their eyes wide open, almost unable to believe it.

"Isn't this... the Star Source Crystal Mine?" Kuang Bowen said, with a rare hint of excitement in his voice.

Marika asked in confusion, “So you like this kind of thing?”

"Wait, there's more."

As she spoke, she kicked open another mine hole, revealing countless crystal clear crystals, shining with a light that was extremely charming to countless formation people.

Liu Sheng scooped up a piece with his small tentacles. In the cold and transparent crystal structure, the faint light at the core flickered like a star core.

"This is Star Source Crystal! The core raw material for making array plates!" Liu Sheng almost shed tears. Looking at the full mine, he had the urge to plunder for the first time.

Afterwards, they saw another mine, which was full of raw stones. When cut open, they found milky white jade inside, and faintly visible naturally formed silk-like patterns inside that were as hazy as moonlight.

"These, these are all Yue Ning Rui Yu!" Ling Yu Ke exclaimed, her eyes filled with excitement and shock.

"The mineral veins in this emerald forest are too terrifying, aren't they?" Xu Dajuan was almost speechless with shock.

How could they not go crazy seeing such rich and high-quality minerals in front of them?

It’s a pity that these are all high-dimensional analyses.

Liu Sheng felt deeply regretful.

[Maybe, there is no need to feel regret.] The world said so.

"If it weren't for the existence of this Emerald Forest, the Western Empire would not have colonized this backward ancient planet." Diane suddenly said.

Liu Sheng searched the database for information and understood.

"SP-CYG-2748-DSR, also known as the Abandoned Ring Planet, is the only planet with relatively rich mineral resources, so it was allocated by the Federal Empire to the Western Empire."

Leaving the emerald forest that the workers of heaven were reluctant to leave, they continued to follow the giant northward.

It was unclear how long they had been walking. In short, with a demigod here, every step seemed to carry the power of the law, which was the [Law: Space] that Liu Sheng was familiar with.

Liu Sheng felt that as time went by, the sacred energy in Marika and Marilyn became clearer and clearer.

The golden tentacles had completely absorbed the colorful gelatin in their bodies, becoming more and more obvious, entangled with their subcutaneous tissues. All the residents with parasites in their bodies could vaguely feel that a certain force was attracting them, and their hearts and souls seemed to be forming a huge group, living and dying together, and a great existence was being nurtured.

Soon, the ice and snow gradually disappeared from their sight, and warmth came over them, replaced by a vast grassland full of vitality.

"This grassland is so suitable for settling down!" Xu Dajuan said with emotion.

After walking on the snowfield for so long, if it weren't for the large amount of supplies donated by the colonial government, hundreds of thousands of people would have died.

Despite this, many people still died from the cold nights and frostbite, and now there are only about 100,000 people left.

Some people expressed their wish to stay, even though they knew the cold night was still chasing them, they were no longer willing to continue wandering.

So they began to help the remaining residents set up camp, and barely built a temporary shelter using simple tools and tents provided by the colonial government.

Wen Weilan looked at the snow-white tents on the grassland and the busy residents, and suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Kuang Bowen was also surprised: "This place... looks a lot like Mobei."

Liu Sheng had never been to the Mobei grassland in person and had only been to the battlefield, so naturally he had no say.

After everything was packed up, they took the remaining people, rested, and continued to head north.

But when they got here, Ling Fu suddenly reminded them, "We are already heading south."

He took out the compass he had bought from Kuang Bowen.

The needle was shaking and pointing to the south. Everyone was shocked and confused when they saw it.

"We have crossed the North Pole of the planet, so we are heading south." Diane nodded. "The natives are over here, in the Eastern Hemisphere."

"The indigenous people you mentioned... why is there no relevant information in the database?" Liu Sheng asked with a frown.

"The indigenous people are backward and not worth mentioning." Diane said as if it was a matter of course, "The colonial government did not enslave them or use them for experiments. It's already good enough."

After hearing these words, everyone felt mixed emotions and inexplicably felt uncomfortable.

Liu Sheng was increasingly having an inexplicable premonition.

Continuing southward, through grasslands and deserts, they finally reached a vast plain.

A large river meanders across the plain, with villages and towns and vast farmlands dotted on both sides of the river.

In the village, most of the houses are built with mud and wood, with thatched roofs. Wisps of smoke rise from the roofs, bringing the scent of life.

In the fields, adult men and women, wearing straw hats, wielded hoes, bent over to work in the fields, their clothes soaked with sweat.

The children were chasing and playing on the ridges of the fields, and their clear laughter echoed in the empty fields.

“Is this… the aboriginal people?”

Old Lady Su watched from afar, and saw that the natives all had their hair in buns, wore coarse cloth, and wore straw sandals. They had black hair and black eyes. Her heart suddenly sank.

"So familiar..." Ling Fu actually felt the familiar feeling again.

This was the second time this happened to him, but the scene was completely opposite.

For young Tang people like Liu Sheng, after the livelihood projects initiated by Ling Fu, they rarely see such pristine scenes, so the sense of familiarity is not so strong.

But the way these people dress and look is quite friendly.

Stepping down from the shoulders of giants, they walked step by step towards the largest city among them.

The city wall is low and made of earthen bricks, giving it a primitive and rustic feel.

Looking up, I saw two large, vigorous characters hanging on the city gate - "Chang'an".
