The Mechanical Empire of the End of the World - Chapter 668
c668 Migration to the South
Cathedral, in the sacred hall.
Striding into the hall, Peggy came behind Leo and half-knelt on the ground.
“Archbishop, the alien beasts have mutated. They have become smarter and more aggressive. The destruction of our enemy Black Flag City is the best proof. The north will become a dead land. No human can survive in the north. Archbishop, we must go to the south. The south is the future of the holy city. It’s just that… people can go, but the altar can’t.”
The holy city is not just a holy city. Only cities with altars are qualified to be called holy cities. If there is no altar, will they still be blessed by the holy light?
This is what Peggy is most worried about the migration plan.
Leo, who was standing in front of the altar and meditating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes. He looked at the altar in front of him and said, “Without me, the altar is a dead object. We have established a connection with the Holy Light. Without the altar, we can still listen to the gospel of the Holy Light. The only thing we have lost is the Holy Shield, a nearly infinite source of energy, but this is not an unsolvable problem.”
Speaking of this, Leo raised the scepter, and a strong holy light surged out of his body and wrapped around the scepter.
Holding the scepter, Leo poked the ground, and a circle of light spread out on the ground and swept across the altar.
When the circle of light touched the altar, a magical scene appeared. The golden lines on the stone pillars shone, and the golden holy light swarmed out of the stone pillars, turning into long golden dragons that gathered in the center of the altar.
In the dazzling golden light, in the center of the altar, a golden holy grail suddenly appeared.
The holy light that surged out of the stone pillars was absorbed by the holy grail one by one, and this process lasted for more than ten seconds.
As the golden light gradually faded, the golden lines on the stone pillars became dim. A holy grail about the size of three fists overlapped quietly suspended in the center of the altar?
What is this?
Looking at the holy grail suspended in the center of the altar, Peggy looked puzzled.
From the holy grail, he could feel an extremely holy breath.
Stepping forward, Leo walked into the altar. He stretched out his left hand and took the holy grail in his hand with a pious look.
Holding the holy grail in hand, Leo turned to Peggy and said, “With the holy grail, it doesn’t matter whether there is an altar or not. Peggy, you are right. The future of the Holy City lies in the south. Priority should be given to evacuating scientists and people with special skills from the Holy City overnight and sending them to the southern colonies. From now on, the people of the Holy City will be gradually sent to the southern colonies. When it gets dark, the beasts will stop attacking. They must not like the night, and evacuating in the dark is the safest.”
“Yes!”
Standing up, Peggy turned around and strode away.
With the words of the archbishop, Peggy felt relieved. He resisted the attack of the alien beasts during the day and arranged for the evacuation of personnel at night.
After leaving the sacred hall, Peggy walked quickly in the long corridor with a thoughtful look on his face.
At present, there are 78 spaceships in the Holy City. If the cabins are full of people, the number of people that can be transported at a time is only more than 100,000.
The Holy City has a population of more than 7 million. It will take at least half a year to transport everyone to the southern colony.
Original Continent, Xipingfu Basin, Black Flag City.
It was ten o’clock in the morning. On Xiping Lake, a speedboat was speeding, leaving a long-lasting white tail on the water wherever it passed.
“Yan’er, do you want to try?”
Hearing this, Li Yan, who was sitting next to Li Meng, shook her head and said, “No, I don’t want to, I’m afraid.”
With a smile, Li Meng stopped the speedboat.
The speed of the speedboat went from fast to slow, and finally stopped on the water.
The speedboat was quite large, more than 20 meters long, with the cab in the front, high up, and the deck at the back.
Li Meng stretched himself, stood up, left the cockpit, and came to the deck at the back.
On the sofa on the deck, You Lan and Wang Yanmei sat opposite each other, both in swimsuits, talking.
The arrival of Li Meng and Li Yan interrupted their conversation.
“What are you talking about?”
Li Meng sat down next to Sister You and asked.
Yan’er was lying on the guardrail, looking at the water with a curious look.
With a slight smile, You Lan said, “We are talking about children. Yanmei has been with you for so many years, but there is still no news about this belly. Xiao Meng, you have to work harder.”
Li Meng was stunned by Sister You’s words and smiled awkwardly.
How should he answer?
It is not entirely true that his body is infertile, but it is also not true that it is fertile.
Sometimes Li Meng also felt strange. Although he was not ready to be a father, none of the women around him had gotten pregnant over the years. This was indeed incredible.
Let alone Wang Yanmei, Sister You was a healthy woman. With a daughter like Yaner, she was very fertile.
But for so many years, Li Meng and Sister You had been living like a couple, but Sister You had never been implicated.
Let’s be more open-minded. Let’s not talk about You Lan or Wang Yanmei. The women who had relationships with him, such as Chen Nannan, Ma Yuzhen, Qian Yuting, Wei Qiuyue, Wei Qiuying, and Liang Yushu, had not gotten pregnant over the years.
They were all not young and had their own families. Not to mention the families with children, let’s take Wei Qiuying for example. After so many years of marriage, she and Zhao Tai still had no children.
Now that the medical technology in Black Flag City is so advanced, if there is any problem between the two of them, it can be found out. This has to be said to be a miracle.
Li Meng frowned slightly, and his expression was thoughtful. What’s going on?
“Xiao Meng, you can’t pretend to be dumb. Your parents died early, and you are not young anymore. You have created such a big foundation, and you can’t have no heir.”
Holding Sister You’s waist, Li Meng glanced at Yan’er who was lying on the guardrail and smiled: “Let it go. It doesn’t matter if there is no successor. Isn’t there Yan’er? When I die, let Yan’er inherit my foundation.”
“I don’t want to. I’m not a brother. I don’t want to intrigue with others. It’s too tiring.”
Although she was lying on the guardrail, Li Yan heard the conversation between her mother and brother behind her. After hearing what her brother said, Li Yan turned around and said.
Rolling her eyes at her daughter, You Lan turned around and said to Li Meng beside her, “Xiao Meng, for so many years, although you are the governor, you don’t care about your private life at all. I don’t care how many women you have outside. As the governor, the highest authority in Black Flag City, it’s normal for you to have several women. Let alone those little goblins, each of them has a family, but they are still so restless. You can play with them, but you can’t take them seriously. You must know the limit and don’t cross the line. Wang Yanmei is different. She has been with you for so many years, and you are her first man. You should give her a status. You, the governor, can’t be single all the time. Having a wife and offspring is also meaningful to the people below.”
