Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 627 - Blood Alliance

Chapter 627: Blood Alliance

“When Dragon City just transmigrated to the Other World, it went through a vicious geographic change.

“A lot of towering mountains suddenly appeared at the borders of Dragon City and tore the skysc.r.a.pers that originally stood on flat land to shreds.

“Plenty of areas in Dragon City that suddenly sank, forming really complicated underground mazes. There were also cracks that were so deep that they might as well lead straight to h.e.l.l,” A’Ji said tirelessly.

“A strange fog containing mysterious energy gushed out of those cracks, causing many areas in Dragon City to have such low visibility that nothing could be seen. They turned into chaotic battlefields where all information was cut off, and we couldn’t even communicate with the people inside.

“When other Earthlings accidentally entered those places, they were either infected by the ancient viruses that had just dethawed and were reactivated, thus turning into unrecognizable monsters, or were eaten by monsters and digested in their bellies.

“In truth, Dragon City was treated as an important place for military affairs, various industries, and scientific research while it was on Earth.

“Back then, Earth was in turmoil, and a world war could start at any moment. In fact, we even considered the risk of a full on nuclear war.

“Dragon City had always had a large military base underground. There was an armory down there, along with industrial facilities. There was also a shocking number of trained soldiers stationed there. All of these were prepared for the possibility of a new era after a nuclear war when we would have to rebuild our home on wastelands filled with radiation.

“If the disaster Dragon City encountered was as simple as running into zombie viruses after we transmigrated, we could get rid of all the zombies with the army in just a few months. After all, they’re slow, and their flesh is rotting away. We wouldn’t even need to waste a single bullet and could use our tanks to squash them into pulp. Then, Dragon City wouldn’t have descended into a b.l.o.o.d.y era when order collapsed and humanity was lost.

“The problem was, the things that gushed out of the ancient ruins were one hundred times more terrifying than just zombies. They were even more horrifying than the monsters, superbeasts, and abnormal beasts that we face today, too. They were legitimate demonic creatures!

“Since most of the army in Dragon City was stationed underground, when Dragon City transmigrated and the terrain changed, the seal over the ancient ruins was released, and the army was the first to be affected. It was attacked by the ancient virus and the demonic creatures.

“Saber Jin Wanhao didn’t know what exactly happened.

“But based on the bits of clues left, he had his guesses. The army had fought to the death against the ancient demonic creatures under Dragon City. They fought until the last soldier lost his final drop of blood, and it was only then that they managed to control the ancient power and ensure that Dragon City wouldn’t be destroyed overnight the first year after it transmigrated.

“But once the army ran out of ammunition and was destroyed, the last bit of strength maintaining order was gone, and the lawless apocalypse officially descended among us!”

Meng Chao felt his heart race as he listened.

A’Ji’s words answered many of the questions that had been bothering him for a long time.

He had been a core member of Blue Home for some time and had joined quite a number of activities to reminisce about the good old days on Earth.

One of the important segments of such activities was to admire the powerful military strength of Dragon City’s origin country.

Apparently, the country which had birthed Dragon City had top-tier military back on Earth.

The so-called steel army was only used as a slogan to motivate people in the current Dragon City, but when they were on the beautiful planet known as Earth, it was an undeniable truth.

And Dragon City was one of the most important military bases in the country. Logically speaking, they should have had a lot of trained soldiers when they just transmigrated.

Up to this date, Dragon Citizens could also still use the armories and weapons factories that came with them from Earth.

These armories had everything, and they were kept in perfect condition until this date. But where were all the trained soldiers who could use these weapons?

The government mentioned that the trained soldiers of the old age died fighting against the zombie virus and during the battle when Red Dragon River raged in the early days of their transmigration.

But Meng Chao was skeptical about that.

During the early days of Dragon City’s transmigration, the zombie virus had yet to mutate. At that time, even if Earthlings were infected and turned into zombies, they were the most low-grade zombies. It was just like A’Ji said, they were slow creatures with rotting flesh, weak joints, and no intelligence whatsoever.

Even if a normal citizen swung his lawnmower, they could still easily win against a horde of zombies.

How could trained soldiers die against such things?

“Ancient demonic creatures, huh?” Meng Chao mumbled.

Ever since he saved the transmigration experts in n.o.ble Descent Hotel, he gained the chance to get in-depth knowledge about controllable transmigration technology.

It was one of the many projects in the ancient ruins research center, which was built above the ancient ruins.

The transmigration experts had once come up with a crazy theory.

They believed that Dragon City transmigrated to the Other World because there was a transmigration engine located deep beneath Dragon City.

This engine could s.h.i.+ft between a physical state and a state of pure energy without losing any components. It could also move through high dimensional s.p.a.ce and launch a city—the crystallization of a civilization—to the other side of the galaxy.

In other words, Dragon City was a galactic s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p left by the ancient civilization.

The Other World was also a huge mothers.h.i.+p of the ancient civilization. In fact, the entire planet could be considered its base.

Meng Chao did not know how believable this hypothesis was.

But based on his previous life’s memories, the creatures of the Other World were not normal carbon-based life-forms born naturally in nature. There were elves who could live for thousands of years, fire demons who could move freely in magma, dwarves who lived in backwards societies but could create amazing weapons and had bodies that made no scientific sense whatsoever.

The Other World, perhaps even Earth, might have been enlightened before by some really advanced ancient civilization. The impact from it lasted until this day, and this was an undeniable truth.

Then, it was not difficult to imagine that the ancient civilization would station ancient demonic creatures as guards, who could wake up even after being sealed for billions of years.

The martyrs must have fought fiercely against the ancient demonic creatures to protect Dragon City.g How shocking and soul-stirring were those battles, and how great of a price did they pay?

Meng Chao clenched his fists and sucked in a deep breath to use the cold air to cool his burning blood. “Continue. What happened next?”

“No one knows whether it was because the ancient virus got in contact with fresh air for too long and began to slowly weaken or whether the trained army killed all the people who had turned into demonic creatures after they were infected by the ancient virus, but in any case, the ancient ruins calmed down once more, and the level of danger from those bottomless cracks reduced drastically,” A’Ji said.

“But there were people who were infected by zombie viruses after they were attacked by zombies outside. They might have reduced the enemy to b.l.o.o.d.y ribbons and were still alive, but everyone knew they were about to turn into zombies.

“There were also people who were reduced to outcasts who had to live in endless fear because they angered an entire community or offended someone they shouldn’t have when they were fighting for food or clear water.

“There were even people who heard a strange voice when they were dreaming at night. They saw distorted runic symbols and bizarre pictures, causing them to be unable to hold back their curiosity toward the cracks and have an uncontrollable urge to go in. Everyone called this sort of situation the Ancient Ruins’ Summon.

“All those who hear the Ancient Ruins’ Summon acted like they were hypnotized. Their minds became occupied by the ruins, and they did whatever it took to go and explore the cracks.

“In time, the people who had nowhere to go, the people who were being hunted, and the people who heard the Ancient Ruins’ Summon all went deep underground to explore the ruins.

“Even though the traps and blockades around the ancient ruins had been destroyed or removed by the army and the infected and fatality rate of the ancient virus had decreased by leaps and bounds, exploring the enigmatic, forbidden area was still really dangerous.

“From Saber Jin Wanhao’s memories, I can see that the ancient ruins is divided into different areas.

“Some of the areas are complicated and so dark that they can even absorb all forms of light. Humans can only rely on their hearing and sense of touch to go forward. It’s very easy to get trapped in there and end up as a skeleton or dust.

“Some of the areas are primitive caves. Numerous runic symbols are carved on their walls. At first glance, they’re not dangerous at all, but each runic symbol contains really profound and unfathomable secrets. They can easily suck a person’s soul inside, and there were actually some people who became mentally incapicitated after looking at the runic symbols. They wouldn’t eat, drink, or sleep. They just insisted on examining them until they died of hunger and turned into skeletons.

“There are also areas with b.a.l.l.s of energy that look like will-o’-the-wisps. Some of the lucky people can touch these energy b.a.l.l.s and absorb the surging spirit energy into their bodies, which instantly turns them into first-cla.s.s fighters. But most people were unlucky souls who a.s.similated with the energy b.a.l.l.s and were instantly reduced to ashes. They, too, became swaying will-o’-the-wisps.

“Certain areas look normal. All they have are two tunnels that appear the same. But when the explorers go inside, they disappear instantly. After three-to-five minutes, they reappear. However, the young adults who were around thirty come out as old people with wrinkly skin. According to them, they had been running for decades in a tunnel without end!

“There are even areas that swallow up explorers. They only reappear after around thirty years, but they look just as they did when they disappeared. According to them, they had only stayed for a short time in the ancient ruins, but during that time, they felt as if they had been transported to the end of the galaxy, where they witnessed a mighty battle!

“In any case, most of the explorers who went deep into the ancient ruins died untimely deaths.

“But a small portion of the people who survived managed to master what is known as supernatural power to different degrees.

“They were the first batch of superhumans.

“Unfortunately, most of these superhumans weren’t good people.

“If we tried to explain what happened to them with modern life science theories, it would be that their brains were severely affected by the magnetic fields in the ancient ruins when they were exploring the place. They also saw all sorts of profound and nameless things, causing their mental strength indexes to collapse, and they became lunatics with twisted minds.

“They had spirit energy in their bodies, but they didn’t have the corresponding spirit energy magnetic fields to restrain them, and they didn’t have any secret techniques to refine their minds and will. They couldn’t control their power and turned into its slaves.

“At that time, the world outside had already turned into a lawless, b.l.o.o.d.y place that obeyed the rules of the jungle.

“The people who obtained supernatural powers from the ancient ruins naturally became the kings at the top of the food chain.

“When others saw how these people flaunted their strength and used all sorts of unbelievable powers, they heard from the grapevine that this strength came from the ancient ruins, so they wanted to enter the cracks to explore the place as well.

“After all, no matter how dangerous the ancient ruins were, there was a chance that they would survive, and if they did, they would gain supernatural powers.

“Their lives were worthless, anyway. Entering the underground and risking their lives was better than killing each other or waiting to be killed outside.

“But the first batch of people who entered the ancient ruins and got lucky would, of course, not let others touch the ancient ruins so easily.

“To monopolize the right to explore and develop the ancient ruins, the first batch of explorers who left the ancient ruins alive formed a large and evil organization. They named it Blood Alliance!”
