Chapter 710 (2/2)
Whether it's soldiers in armor with laser guns, or giant buildings floating in the air like mountains, these are far beyond his imagination.
He felt numb in his tongue, electricity under his hair, his hands shaking so much that he could only carry them in his jacket pocket.
After a long time, he gradually calmed down. He asked the old man who came to pick them up.
”I know that Rome was built on the site of ancient Rome, and there is an older Roman relic under it, but there is such a city 200 meters underground... How can it be?”
The old man shook his cloak, shook his long helmet for a moment, and replied in a calm voice: ”science, magic, I can't give you any other explanation, this is the hidden history of our world, this is the home of the immortals.”
All this is like a dream, as if the Rome on the ground is mapped to the underground. This huge city is real. Whether it is the streets paved with red bricks or the exquisite angel statues beside the road, he can reach them all.
Soon, after he stepped down a long staircase, the gang of four entered a theater like building.
Beautiful and magnificent buildings, the interior is also magnificent, beyond the perfect combination of technology and classical art, a variety of incredible scenes emerge in it.
The most striking one is a badge on the dome of the Grand Theater, on which there is an eagle flying.
The golden insignia cast a beam of light, enveloping Leonid in the light. He felt warm.
At this time, he found that in this place like the amphitheater, someone was already waiting for him.
Dressed the same as the people who had received them before, there were four slightly old people sitting on the high platform, under which were carved complicated patterns.
Howard and Nathaniel nodded to Leo, motioning him to stand still, and then they moved to the empty auditorium on the other side, leaving only a faint outline in the dark.
The people who met them went up to the rostrum and sat in the middle of the chair.
Then he spoke.
”Listen carefully, something will resonate with you, and this resonance will pass through time, and everything starts from an idea, a fire in the sky.”
Leonid swallowed his saliva and looked at the people whose outlines were hidden in the dark. He swallowed and waited quietly for the explanation.
The old man did not keep him waiting. He told an old story. It was BC, it was at the dawn of earth civilization.
There was a firelight falling into Egypt, and people saw wonderful buildings burning, falling from the air into the desert.
But when they go to check, they are parasitized by a kind of terrible space Zerg. They spread and multiply at a very high speed, and the fate of all creatures is in danger.
It's the end of life and the world.
In a crisis, a man comes forward and gathers the surviving creatures to form a final army to fight the alien Zerg to the death.
”Our world shouldn't end like this,” he said
He was given a weapon, a spear, and a shield.
With the help of heroes from all walks of life, he killed the Zerg queen, eliminated the parasitized people, and saved all the remaining people. He made a different choice for the earth between extinction and survival.
People are united in the name of the shield in his hand.
”On your head is the shield. From then on, from generation to generation, we are the shield that protects mankind from the known and the unknown.”
The head of the old man sat upright. When he said these words, he couldn't help but straighten out his chest. The scene he described and the more detailed fighting also made Leo's blood boil.
Just as he looked up at the shield, five people on the rostrum began to say with one voice: ”we are a protective measure, a protective measure against those who hinder us to move forward as planned and against those who hinder us.”
Seeing Leo fall into excitement and yearning, the people on the platform added: ”this is a call from the world, an organization from us that provides protection to the world as a God.”
”Gods?” Leo frowned.
Another elder nodded and was not affected by the doubt: ”if we can't turn some future around, how can we look like this?”Central people look at Leo: ”can you understand?”
Leo's starry body did not mask his expression. He raised his translucent eyebrows: ”I can, to protect the world.”
The head of the old man nodded affirmatively: ”it is so.”
