Chapter 618

The sky is blue and here is very close to the sky. Looking up, you can see stars in the outer universe through the atmosphere.

When the line of sight changed from looking up to looking down, it was a magnificent city in his eyes. There is a square paved with white rock, an ancient temple, and an ancient altar built in each of the four directions of the square. Above the altar, a golden crystal ball with a diameter of three meters floated. They radiate a hazy energy flame. When the flame reaches the thick place, it will be continuously injected into the altar below from the bottom of the crystal ball like water, then flow to the ground through the groove, and finally swim in the whole square. From the high altitude, the groove pattern on the square exudes a mysterious atmosphere, which is like an electronic circuit. The energy flame is transmitted to the whole city through the groove of the square. The four crystal balls on the altar are the energy source of the city!

The square is the center of the whole city, starting from four altars. At the edge of the square, there are four arch bridges built by gray boulders leading to the city below. There is a circular River between the square and the city. The river is clear and green. Aquatic organisms can be seen swimming freely in the river from time to time.

Connecting the square through the Baiyan grand road is the inner city, which has gorgeous palaces, straight and spacious streets, well planned green vegetation, beautiful sculptures and colorful seven color fountains. This is the private land of nobles. Only those with prominent status are eligible to live in the inner city. The inner city is followed by the outer city, which is separated by a circular wall.

The area of the outer city is more than dozens of times that of the inner city. It is not only an area inhabited by civilians, but also an important commercial area. From time to time, there will be spaceships taking off and landing in the outer city. It is a busy scene, representing frequent commercial exchanges with people on the ground. The reason why people are on the ground is that the city floats in the air, on the top of white clouds.

Its name is Atlantis!

How many familiar pictures, even the fresh taste in the wind, are the same as before. He wanted to reach out and feel it. Then a woman whispered, "Franklin!"

So when he looked back and couldn't see the figure in front of him, violent vibration and explosion appeared. A large flame filled his eyes. He shouted "no", but he couldn't recover the figure swallowed by the flame.

When the flame passes, you see the burning city. The former gorgeous palaces are now ugly ruins, the white and tidy streets are covered with black scorch and red blood, the sculptures and fountains have become broken stones, and even the clear ring River has become extremely polluted. The sky is no longer bright, and a huge shadow envelops the whole city. Looking into the sky, you can see the black nebula that covers almost half of the planet outside the sky.

On that day, proteus crossed the endless sea of stars to the edge of the universe. It entered the Milky way and came to the earth, the only living earth in the Milky way.

In the black nebula, dense cloud columns like tentacles break through the air. They passed through the atmosphere and landed on the suspended city of the sky, and more on the earth, rivers and mountains. These dark cloud pillars are constantly drawing the vitality of the planet, and some cloud pillars falling in the sky city or the earth city-state are constantly falling out of black clouds.

These clouds are like cocoons of some creatures. When they fall to the ground, dark demons will emerge from them. These demons are reptilian in shape and have no entities. They are like some energy life. Only the hedge of energy can give them damage. The army of Atlantis fought bravely with them, but there are too many energy insects. There seems to be no hope of victory in this war.

Burning sky, countless lives are withering. The trembling earth is playing the music before the collapse!

"No!"

He shouted and woke up. What I saw was a shoal, and most of my body was immersed in the smelly sea of radiation, undulating with the waves. Looking up, the sky is gray. The thick radiation clouds block the deadly cosmic rays, but also let the creatures of the earth have not seen the sun for decades.

Cataclysm.

It was a noun that flashed through his mind, and then the explanation of the noun was automatically generated in his mind. This is one of the knowledge of this era he downloaded after connecting with the intellectual brain pivot array in the Pope's hall. It also makes him understand that today's world is not his Atlantis, but a new era.

At the same time, it is also an era without order.

The head hurts and the memory becomes chaotic. He can't remember what happened to Atlantis in the end, but judging from the current situation, it is probably destroyed. What about protheus? Has the cosmic star beast that feeds on planetary life been expelled? This is also an unanswered question.

He has too many questions, one of which is how he survived. Moreover, it has been separated from the form of ordinary life. Otherwise, he will not be able to generate fish like organs in his body as he is now, so that he can roam in the sea of radiation, nor can he change the shape of his hands and feet to adapt to navigation in the sea. Now he looks like a fish man, and with contact with the land, the changes of his body begin to disappear, and finally return to a normal body, a male human more than three meters tall.

Franklin. He repeated his name in his mind, then climbed up the beach and saw a pair of legs. The owner of the legs quickly stepped back and sat down on the beach. This is a girl who wraps herself in a cloak. Judging by the knowledge Franklin downloaded from the wisdom brain of the papal hall, she is a 15-year-old woman. Before the cataclysm, women at this age could only be called children, but in this era, they were fully capable of childbearing.

Only in the exposed legs and some parts of her face covered with ugly pink polyps, ordinary people like her living on the surface inevitably have abnormal tissues. These things are like parasites. One day they will cover the whole body and oppress the living organs of the host, resulting in the death of the host. But until then, they can separate radiation for their hosts and provide them with capital to survive on the surface.

From the girl's expression, Franklin judged that it was an expression of fear. Of course, anyone who sees a giant naked and nearly three meters tall suddenly get up from the sea will be afraid, especially the girl who is obviously an ordinary person.

"Are you... Are you a pirate?" the girl asked hesitantly.

pirate? Soon, Franklin had an explanation of the word in his mind. In the old days, pirates did exist. In the new era, especially near the western continent where the New Roman city is located, this role only appeared in recent ten years. At the beginning, they were just some refugees oppressed by the papal Hall who escaped from the New Roman city and used some ancient sailboats from the old times to live in the nearby waters to escape the pursuit of the New Roman city.

Gradually, with the support of the rebels and better equipment, they began to loot the caravans of new Rome in groups. Xizhou is not a complete continental plate like Zhongzhou. After the former Eurasian plate split, it became an island like structure. The city of new Rome is undoubtedly the largest piece of land on the western continent, but in addition, hundreds of islands of different sizes are distributed around the continent like global satellites.

The population of new Rome had reached its maximum ten years ago, so the paladins of the holy seal began to open up new living bases on other islands, and at least half of the islands fell into the hands of the papal hall in the past decade. The bases on the island basically adopt the autonomous management mode, but in order to get the shelter of the papal hall, they must pay tribute to the New Roman city in two quarters every year like the vassal state in ancient times.

In addition, there are often commercial exchanges between the mainland and the islands, which has contributed to the vigorous development of the piracy industry. The first pirates funded by the rebels only retaliated against the merchant ships belonging to the papal hall, but later, as more and more refugees joined the business, the rules gradually changed.

In addition to a few pirates who insist on only cooperating with the papal hall, many pirates have no principles and positions at all. They will be attacked as long as they are targeted, whether they are the papal hall or ordinary civilians. Sometimes, a large number of pirates will run to the island to kill and set fire, which is also an important reason why islanders fear pirates.

To this end, the holy seal order has encircled and suppressed pirates for many times. However, the water environment between islands is complex, the radiation current is changeable, and there are hundreds of tributaries between islands, which can not form an effective encirclement and annihilation. Therefore, pirates are still rampant today.

The information flashed through Franklin's mind. "No, I'm not a pirate." he propped up his body on the beach, half knelt on the ground and said to the girl, "my name is Franklin, I'm a refugee!"

"Escaped from New Rome?"

"Yes, just as you said." Franklin looked at his naked body and said for a long time, "my clothes broke when I escaped, you!"

The girl realized that the giant had no clothes in front of her. Her eyes first fell on Franklin's strong chest, and finally came to the majestic place where he stepped down. She blushed. Then he said, "wait here. I'll get you something to wear. I don't know if you have the right size."

Franklin nodded, looked at a coconut forest not far from the beach and said, "I'll wait for you there. Just call my name when you come."

"OK." the girl stood up and said, "my name is ainilu. I'll be back soon. You wait for me, big man."

Then the girl ran away.

Franklin stood up and looked out. The sight passed through the sea of radiation, through the water mist on the sea, and fell on the outline of a continent far away. He escaped from there, but he had to go back, because there were still some compatriots waiting for him. After taking a silent look at the other side of the sea, he took a big step towards the coconut forest.

It wasn't long before enilu came back. She brought some clothes, but none of them could be worn by Franklin. At last, thanks to her extra care, she brought a worn sheet. Wrapping it around Franklin's waist, it was a robe and skirt, which finally covered the important position of the giant. Ainilu told Franklin that it was an island with only a village of more than a hundred people.

The village usually lives by capturing aquatic organisms near the island, and those changed aquatic organisms will be stored and raised. Every month, businessmen come to buy them, and the villagers use them in exchange for living materials. Although life is hard, it is still passable. Franklin listened in silence. Of course he didn't want to stay on the island. He also wanted to go back to the western continent to save his compatriots. But when downloading the materials, he also understood what kind of power he had to face.

New Rome can't compare with his Atlantis in terms of scale and technology, but now he has only one person, but he has to face the holy seal knights in tens of thousands. Obviously, it is almost impossible to save our compatriots in this way. However, when downloading the material, Franklin also came into contact with a noun.

Rebels!

They were a force against the papal hall, Franklin thought, or they could use their power. But the first task is how to contact the rebels.

After ainilu introduced the general situation of the village and promised him that he would let an old tailor in the village make a suit for him, she said with a hesitant face, "but you have to do me a favor."

Franklin nodded and said, "it's fair that there is no free lunch. Come on, what can I do for you?"

Ainilu's eyes became moist. It turned out that her parents died in the hands of Pirates a long time ago. Ainilu was brought up by her grandfather. Her grandfather has been fishing for a living, but he lost his legs when he was attacked by fierce mutants in the sea not long ago. Now he can't work. This is a very cruel era. If you can't work, you have no income. Without income, you will naturally starve to death.

Even though the people in the village sympathize with the ainilou family, they are also very poor and can't take out excess food to support them. Today, ainilu had planned to go to sea by herself, but she met Franklin as soon as she got to the beach. Ainilu said, "we have a fishing boat. I hope you can go out to sea and fish with me. In this way, we can change things for food and clothing, and you can live in my house. How about it?"

Franklin nodded, "deal."

He intends to stay on the island temporarily, so that he can inquire about the rebels and learn how to integrate into the human society of this era. After leaving the island in this way, he knew how to face other humans.

Enilu looked at Franklin and said, "there are few people as tall as you. Aren't you capable?"

Those who have the ability also have relevant records in the data of the papal hall. They can be said to be superman in the new era, with power beyond the reach of ordinary people. In Franklin's era, although human beings were as tall as him, they did not have the ability to appear as many as stars. Atlantis conquered the sky and expedited the endless sea of stars by means of scientific and technological civilization unmatched by this era.

It was not until the emergence of protheus that the life of people with similar abilities appeared in the later stage of the war. But there are only two kinds of life. They are the giant called God and another life called Gaia, but they were not created by Atlantis, but... "What's the matter with you?"

Enilu reached out and waved in front of Franklin, breaking his memory. Frankline shook his head, nodded again and said, "yes, I'm capable. The order of the holy seal wanted to forcibly enlist me, but I refused and escaped."

On this island, Franklin gave a camouflage background, and enilu believed it. That day, the whole village knew that the girl had picked up a giant from the sea. At first, the villagers were very wary of Franklin. But as we got along for a long time, I watched Franklin go out to sea with ainie every few days and return with a full load every time. Then Franklin would distribute the surplus aquatic organisms to the villagers, and gradually won the favor of the villagers.

Ainilu told everyone that Franklin was a capable man, and the big man used his strength to do some real things for the villagers from time to time. After such a month, he seems to have become the protector of the village. Whenever Franklin didn't have to go to sea to do his homework, some children would pester him and ask Franklin to teach them to fight. Of course, the big guy would just laugh it off.

It was another dusk, and Franklin was sitting on the beach where he met enilu that day. Through this month's photos, he has a deeper understanding of the world, not just stay in the cold data. He heard from the villagers that the rebels were hiding on an island called ISTA, which was named "paradise for the fallen" by the Pope's hall. It was also a concentration camp for criminals and murderers. But to go to ISTA, you must pass through roaring Bay, where there are many undercurrents and the edge of pirates. It is not so easy to go.

Even if Franklin could change his form according to his surroundings, it was impossible to swim across the roaring bay to ISTA with his bare hands.

"Anyway, we need a boat," he sighed.

Footsteps sounded behind him. He looked back and saw enilu. Still in her hooded cloak, the girl walked quietly to Franklin. Looking at enilu, Franklin wondered, "it's time to cook now, enilu."

"Let the little girl do that later. How long haven't we seen each other, Frank linat?" said enilu in a low voice.

Franklin suddenly stiffened, then stood up like a hill, exuding an amazing sense of oppression, and said in a penetrating voice, "you're not enilu, who are you? Why do you know my full name!"
