Li Zhen and Bai Xiaodang looked at each other in the same voice - the person who was talking was a local. This was a strong man in a white robe. Now there was a wall between him and the two - the wall that Li Zhen scratched with his fingers just now. However, now a certain area of ​​the wall has become transparent, and it seems that such a "window" can appear in any part of the wall.

This seems to mean that the man has been listening to the conversation between the two of them just now. However, this seems not to be the other party’s problem... because it was the two of them who "sent" themselves to the bottom of the window.

But what surprised Li Zhen and Bai Xiaodang was not only a sudden person appeared, but the person's attitude at this moment. The man had a smile on his face and looked at a man and a woman outside his room calmly, as if he saw his neighbor passing by at the door and asked with a smile, "Have you eaten?"

This attitude made the two of them not know how to speak for a while. Logically speaking, the first thought should be: Is there any conspiracy behind this? However, Li Zhen spent two seconds looking at the man's face and realized that this person's attitude seemed to be that kind of pure friendship.

The two people had not seen this innocent expression for a long time, let alone appeared here on the face of an adult.

So Li Zhen hesitated and was alert for a long time and had to say: "You... know who we are?"

"Wait." The man said, then waved his hand - the wall turned opaque and milky white again. After more than ten seconds, the man appeared in front of them. He walked out of the door on the other side, his hands were empty, without weapons, and no one followed behind him. In fact, when Li Zhen was looking in the sky just now, most of the people in the town had gathered near the Central Square, and there were indeed few people around him.

"You are guests, right?" the man said with a smile. "There are more guests in recent years. You two should be the fifteenth and sixteenth."

Bai Xiaodang raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Sorry. Are you talking about - there are outsiders here? I mean... do you know the outside world?"

After saying this, she suddenly realized something - she and Li Zhen are both Chinese, and they used Chinese to talk to each other. The man in front of her understood, and he was also talking to them in Chinese!

If it were in the outside world, it would be no wonder that a Greek could speak Chinese - who wouldn't speak a few words of daily conversation? However, this is "Olympus". People here should be isolated from the world for a long time, right?

The man smiled tolerantly: "Of course we know the outside world. If you read that right, you two should be Chinese - my name is John Hutis."

He stretched out his hand as he said - this was not the etiquette of ancient Greeks. Bai Xiaodang was stunned for a while before realizing what the man named Hutis was going to do. She hesitated for a moment and reached out to hold it.

Handshake gifts were quite common in the empire in the early years, and were a more formal etiquette of meeting. However, recently, only very old-school people, or in very formal occasions, did so. Bai Xiaodang realized that although Huttis said they knew the outside world, the news channels might not be as smooth as she thought.

"I am Li Zhen." Li Zhen also reached out and shook Hutis, hiding his surprise in his heart. Then he asked, "You said we were guests just now-" He knew that this statement was inappropriate. So he changed his words, "This is indeed a very magical place. It is not easy to come in, and it should be difficult for you to go out."

Hutis was very smart. He knew what Li Zhen was going to ask. But he didn't seem to mind the temptation and explained with a smile: "This is indeed a question that guests often ask. In fact, some of us will go out - like me."

He compared himself on his chest: "I graduated from Cambridge - a 94-class graduate."

"Cambridge, England?"

"Cambridge, England." Huttis replied with a smile, "We are not as mysterious as you think. In fact, we have always maintained limited contact with the outside world. After all, we have few people, and we also need some knowledge, and that knowledge can only be drawn from the outside world."

"So, are you planning to go around the town or go to the sky now? The shuttle bus has just ascended to heaven and will take about six hours to get off," said Hutis.

Li Zhen and Bai Xiaodang looked at each other and realized that this way of talking could not get the information they wanted. So he thought for a while and said seriously: "We broke in. I don't know what the guest you mentioned is. But we shouldn't be listed here. In other words, we are more like intruders."

He had imagined surprise or panic, but he didn't look like he had imagined. Hutis looked at the two of them a few times and spread his hands: "Oh. Actually, I knew it a long time ago - I did hear something just now. But since you can break in, you must be the same person as the guests-"

"You mean, the capable one." Bai Xiaodang said.

"The capable one." Hutis repeated, laughing, "This word is very appropriate. But it doesn't matter if it is not an invited guest. Someone missed this place in the early years. The question is what you two plan to do? If it is for some friendly purpose, we welcome you and even accept two people who have lived here for a long time."

This friendly attitude was beyond the expectations of both of them, and it was precisely because of this. Li Zhen always felt something was wrong. Perhaps because Zeus existed here, people here were not worried that the mistaken entrant would make a mistake. The attitude of humans here should reflect Zeus to some extent - it was not very concerned about the outside world, nor even the struggle between species and humans.

But Zeus cannot be unclear about that prophecy - a prophecy that implies that the ancient god will revive and destroy the world. In recent years, the outside world has been a mess, and even the slow guy should realize that the prophecy is not without foundation... Then how could he still hide here so safely?

The situation here has turned the things he had planned into a mess. Li Zhen knew that he was not a person who was good at planning, and now he could only "take care". He knew that what Zeus knew must be much more than this person, but he was not sure that the powerful species would also talk to him calmly like this person.

So he said, "The purpose of both of us... is just to see. You know, I still feel that everything around me is incredible, like an illusion. If I didn't offend you, I would like to ask - have you never thought about going to the outside world to live?"

Hutis smiled—it was a very tolerant smile: "The world outside? No, it's hard for us to adapt to the world outside. You guys..." He tried to think about the words, "Life is too hard."

Li Zhen looked around. Behind him was a vast field with thriving crops growing inside. The pace of life here is indeed different from the human world outside - one is an agricultural civilization in a sense, and the other is a technological civilization. The pace of life of modern people is indeed very fast, and these people who are used to living in the slow pace of agricultural society do not feel used to it. But he is just trying to cause a topic.

Unfortunately, he didn't expect what Hugtis would say next.

"You misunderstood." Hutis smiled and waved his hand, with a tolerant smile on his face. "I'm not referring to the humans outside you, well... life is very fast, but we can't accept that kind of life at all - you know, work is exchanged for rewards. You call this kind of thing equivalent exchange."

He thought for a while and waved his hand: "Invite you to come to my house to talk."

Li Zhen and Bai Xiao wanted to see with their own eyes what the layout was in the house, so they happily agreed to his invitation.

When I entered the door, I felt that the door frame was very low. When I really walked in, I felt that everything was very strange. This house did not look like a residence for ordinary people, but more like a cabin on an ocean-going cargo ship - most of the furnishings, including tables, chairs, and beds, were fixed and quite low.

But there is always a human atmosphere - there are piles of clay pots on the ground, and the tabletops are filled with clay dishes and cups. The workmanship looks rough, like a beginner's work - there is no doubt that they belong to Hutis.

The room was much simpler than Li Zhen had imagined, and for a moment he had the illusion that Huttis was just a passerby.

The three of them sat on a low stool. The stool surface was not flat, with slightly undulating and concave. Li Zhen realized that this might be based on some kind of "ergonomic" design, which made people sit more comfortable. Unfortunately, this design is not suitable for the three people in the room, and when they sit on it, they only feel a little hard.

Li Zhen and Bai Xiaodang looked at each other - perhaps this was not designed for human body shape.

Hutis used that rough clay cup to pour some kind of drink for two people - dark green, slightly sticky. This kind of thing can easily cause bad associations. Li Zhen took the cup and put it on the table, not wanting to touch it.

So Hutis smiled and explained, "It was my own brew."

Li Zhen couldn't help but look at the rough cup again. He would rather act a little rude than touch it.

He changed the subject: "You just said - equivalent exchange."

"Yes." Hutis didn't force the two of them to rub the pottery cup in his hand. "We can't accept that lifestyle - you have to work. Only work can live... This is a bit scary when you think about it."

Bai Xiaodang frowned slightly and blinked inexplicably: "But this is a natural thing. If you don't work, how do you realize your own value? How do you get recognition from others?"

Hutis also blinked: "Why should you be recognized by others? Why is it natural to work? Do you like work? Or put most of your energy into something you don't like so much?"

Bai Xiaodang was stunned for the first time - she had come into contact with someone who said such words so righteously. In her opinion, the other party had no logic at all. She didn't even want to discuss more about such obvious things, so she said bluntly: "It's very simple - don't you also need to work here? If someone didn't take care of them in the fields outside, what would you eat?"

Li Zhen didn't say anything, because the first impression that Hutis gave him was not the kind of person who was irrefutable - although the words he had just said were suspected, Li Zhen believed that there was a reason for it.

"Sorry, I was abrupt." Hutis did not mind Bai Xiaodang's tone, but apologized, "I ignored that you are guests - you could not accept our ideas for a while. The fields outside... do provide us with food. But it does not require anyone to work. There are automatic devices to take care of them. There are automatic devices to harvest and deal with them."

"We have a higher technical level here than you think, and we... have been a long, long time and no longer need to live like you. Each of us has things we like to do and want to do - for example, I like to fiddle with these things." Hugtis pointed to the pottery. "The differences in our living habits, or moral and ethical differences may also be greater than the two of us imagined. Perhaps it is shameful for you to have no motivation and get nothing for nothing. However, for us, it is the most shameful for a person to waste his time on something he is not interested in."

Bai Xiaodang was a little stunned when he heard it. A few words sounded concise. But only after thinking deeply, he realized how huge the difference between the two ideas was - so huge that it was almost absurd.

However, Li Zhen’s focus is not on this. He grabbed the other party’s words and asked: “But what I don’t understand is that on the one hand, some of you are going to the outside world to learn knowledge, while on the other hand... are you suggesting that your technology is much ahead of us?”

"I'm not talking about technology, Mr. Lee, but technology," replied Huttis. "The huge technological potential hidden in this world is not fully mastered by us. So we also need the technology in yours to compare - so that we can master them more deeply."

Li Zhen realized that the other party was bringing the topic to the point he was paying attention to. So he asked more cautiously: "What do you mean... some of the technologies here are not all of you?"

Bai Xiaodang pursed his lips and realized that Li Zhen had asked the key point.

Hutis smiled and looked at the two of them, shrugging slightly: "Oh, yes. This place did not belong to us originally, this is the remains of the dinosaur civilization."

After he finished speaking, the room was quiet for a while. Because neither Li Zhen nor Bai Xiaodang expected that this sentence would be said so lightly from the other party. It seemed that he was not talking about a civilization that was incredible. It was someone living next door.

Hutis smiled: "Why, aren't you both interested in this?"

"...Yes." Li Zhen forced himself to calm down, "You said this is a ruin of the dinosaur civilization, so... means that this place was not created by the one in the sky?"

"That one?" Hurtis was slightly stunned, then shook his head, "No... I just discovered this place and found a way to open the door. Then he moved here to avoid disaster and selected some people to live here together. You know. In an earlier era, we could not fully apply the technology here as we do now - it was an era that relied on manpower. Many things always need to be done by others to feel comfortable."

Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This was not created by Zeus—this was undoubtedly excellent news. Otherwise, if Zeus's power could create such a vast world, he really didn't know how to face that existence that was close to the gods.

"So, how much do you know about that civilization?" Li Zhen asked. This question actually has nothing to do with his purpose here, and he was just out of curiosity. However, how many people can resist this curiosity? Everyone was obsessed with those ancient creatures that had long been extinct when they were still children, right? Once they knew that one of those ancient creatures had even established a civilization... so temptation, how could it not make people feel itchy?

Hutis didn't seem to want to hide it from this issue. He answered patiently: "We know a lot. We know what they look like, how long they have existed, why they left the earth and where they went."

Another thunder exploded in Li Zhen's heart, and he was stunned for a moment - because of Hutis's words "Why did they leave the earth?" Does this mean... the person in front of him also understands the secret of the "last day"?

But if it were like that, how could he sit here so peacefully and ignore the storms of the outside world?

Bai Xiaodang's heart was much more shocked than Li Zhen. Therefore, she could no longer keep calm. She stood up and asked in a trembling voice: "Who are you?"

Hutis smiled and said, "Here, call me John Hutis."

Li Zhen looked at the man in front of him seriously and asked in a deep voice: "What about elsewhere?"

Hutis laughed again: "Oh. Somewhere else—outside, call me Zeus."

Bai Xiaodang tightened his body. But she did not act rashly - because the other party had been expressing goodwill. Although it was not clear whether it was "hypocrisy". However, using force at this moment would only make things worse. What's more, her force seemed insignificant in the face of such an existence.

Li Zhen laughed: "Haha..."

Hutis shrugged: "I'm telling the truth."

"I believe." Li Zhen sneered, "It's strange that you and your son like to do this - it's a pleasure for you to pretend to be human?"

Zeus was also laughing: "Dress up as a human? No, Mr. Li. When you were outside, you released your power, but Enoch was still Enoch, and he had not changed any changes - you should realize that this was originally our original appearance. Like your ancestor, we are the closest to humans... or you are the closest to us. At the beginning, you didn't ask what my name was when I met outside - in fact, the name is just a name and does not have any meaning."

"Well. Zeus, then you've been waiting for us all the time and know what I've done to your son."

"Yes. It's great to see you didn't kill him-even though he was an expelled person." Zeus said, "I know a lot of things, Mr. Lee, and what your intention was to come here. You want to gain some of my strength to make yourself stronger, and then you want to fight against that existence-the ancient god."

This time Li Zhen couldn't calm down anymore. He suddenly stood up and roared: "Stop talking!!"

In just a moment, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

However, Zeus laughed: "Are at ease, Mr. Li. Here, it will not know." He drew a big circle again: "The ancient gods cannot invade this field, and this place does not exist for it."

Bai Xiaodang went to see Li Zhen in a blink of an eye, and his face was inexplicably surprised.

She was not only surprised by Li Zhen's loss of composure, but also by what Zeus said. Li Zhen described the ancient god in that meeting as extremely terrifying. Any participant would think that Li Zhen had succumbed to that power.

In fact, as a capable person, she really can't see the hope of defeating the other party. In this situation, someone must make a rational decision - she thinks that Li Zhen's decision at that time was rational.

He intends to keep some of the people—the new humans he calls, and then migrate them to Mars, just as many, many years ago, dinosaur civilizations did. Such a kind of fire can at least retain the civilization without completely extinction.

Li Zhen mentioned "a certain reason" many times at that meeting. Bai Xiaodang didn't know what the reason was, but since Li Zhen would rather tell the existence of the ancient god than mentioned "a certain reason"... she could imagine how terrible that thing would be.

Now there are many people who want to fight against the ancient gods. Before that, she herself had occasional thoughts from her heart. However, when she came here, she saw the remains of the previous generation of civilizations - they could even create a world out of thin air - even such civilizations were completely destroyed... She finally realized how unimaginable the ancient god who is now in the ocean has.

So she was even more surprised - it turned out that the "surrender" that Li Zhen had shown before was just an illusion? What was he planning?

This plan may not be as simple as Zeus said, to gain more powerful power to fight against the ancient gods. The other party should have only pointed out the tip of the iceberg, but this has already made Li Zhen lose his composure.

She looked at Li Zhen in disbelief - this man should know the best how powerful that existence is. But even so... he still doesn't want to give up??

Li Zhen took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Don't irritate it." He whispered, "Even if you are Zeus, you won't understand how terrible it is. You've made one mistake-I'm not trying to fight it, I'm just trying to get more say in the outside world."

However, Zeus looked at Li Zhen meaningfully, and then he said "Oh" a long time later.
