Chapter 520 Returning Home
"This is it." Li Mingze pointed at the city on the screen that had completely risen to the surface and opened his mouth.
"That's right, Your Majesty. There is a civilization hidden on this planet that we thought was ownerless, and they are all hidden underground." The soldier nodded.
"Why would they hide the city underground, or is there a disaster that might happen on this planet, and they hid underground to avoid the disaster?" Li Mingze frowned tightly. This civilization was too abnormal, and why did they rise back to the surface again now?
Just when the video ended and Li Mingze thought that was all, the ground under his feet suddenly shook.
"What happened?" Li Mingze asked a soldier who was running hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, we don't know, but the drone has been released." The soldier hurriedly replied respectfully after seeing that the person holding him was Li Mingze.
"Your Majesty, come and see!" At this time, an anxious voice of a soldier came from behind Li Mingze, and Li Mingze hurriedly turned around and walked towards the man quickly.
It was not until he came to a holographic screen that he saw huge cities rising from the endless grassland, and viaducts began to rise in the forest.
The dense network of viaducts rose from the ground, connecting countless cities together.
"Let's go to the nearest city." Li Mingze waved to the soldiers, picked up a rifle from the table beside him and walked towards the place where the patrol vehicles were parked.
Several soldiers hurriedly followed Li Mingze with guns and ran towards the place where the vehicles were parked.
Soon, the only two hovercrafts in the base took off from the forward base and flew towards the nearest city.
Along the way, everyone in the car could clearly see various buildings and facilities that were still rising from the ground, and resort-style buildings were also rising in the original lake.
After a few minutes of flying, the hovercraft they were riding in arrived above the city closest to the base.
But to the surprise of Li Mingze and others, this city was too quiet!
That's right, there is no trace of life on the clean streets, and the whole city is empty.
It is said that these people have died, and there is no sign of disease or war in this city.
The streets are clean and tidy, and there is no transportation. The flower beds on both sides of the street are full of beautiful flowers, and the tables in the office buildings on both sides of the street are neatly stacked with documents.
This city is like it has just been made, everything is brand new.
"Let's go down and take a look." Li Mingze stretched out his hand to open the door of the suspension car and jumped down.
Many soldiers in the car also followed Li Mingze's figure and jumped off the suspension car. Until they were about to land, they stopped steadily on the road with the propulsion device on their feet.
"Look, there is no dust on this chair, and on this flower bed, this is too unscientific." Li Mingze frowned, this city is full of weirdness.
"Your Majesty, since no one lives in this city, why is it kept so clean?" A soldier stretched out his hand and touched the ground lightly and asked in confusion.
"Unless, this is carefully cleaned by someone to welcome their masters home." Li Mingze suddenly thought of something.
In the empire, robot housekeepers will finish cleaning in advance and wait for their masters to come home, and this scene is so similar to the present!
"Oh no, the masters of these cities are coming back!" Li Mingze punched hard.
"Where are they coming back from? Did the people on this planet go to another planet collectively?" The soldiers were puzzled.
At this moment, the originally sunny sky suddenly began to darken, and the dazzling sun was slowly covered by a black ball.
"Is this a solar eclipse?" Li Mingze's eyepieces automatically switched to sunglasses mode, so that he could better observe the changes in the sun.
"Yes, Your Majesty, according to our analysis of the orbits of the various planets in this star system, this solar eclipse will last for up to a month, and this planet will have two such solar eclipses every year."
"This is a special phenomenon caused by a planet that has reached a special orbit and will always be between the planet under our feet and the star." A scientist who followed the team paused and said everything he knew.
"Wait, you mean, this solar eclipse occurs twice a year, once a month." Li Mingze finally caught the sudden inspiration in his mind.
"Quick, notify everyone in the base to hide in the basement immediately! Let's go quickly!" Li Mingze shouted and started the propulsion device and rushed towards the hovercraft.
But it was too late. The sky fell into complete darkness in the blink of an eye, and the original day turned into night.
At this time, Li Mingze observed that from the black spot blocking the sun, countless white lights were flying towards the ground.
"They are back." A soldier muttered to himself while looking at the white light in the sky.
When these white lights flew close to the low altitude, Li Mingze and others could already see its full appearance.
One by one, humanoid creatures with transparent bodies emitting white light were falling from the sky to the ground like a meteor shower.
However, unlike the meteor shower, Li Mingze observed that the fall of these transparent humanoid creatures was not random. They seemed to have been measured in advance, and everyone landed in the city.
Some people landed on chairs on the street, and some people passed through the windows of the building and landed in front of the desk.
All people seemed to have returned to where they were supposed to be, without a trace of abruptness.
"What the hell is this?" Li Mingze muttered to himself when he saw these transparent figures. He swore that this was the weirdest thing he had seen in his life for more than a hundred years.
These transparent humanoid creatures looked like the ghosts of the dead in the legend.
I don't know if it's because they haven't finished landing or what, although these transparent humanoid creatures have landed on the ground, they didn't move or make any other moves. They just stood there quietly.
"Do you think their bodies can be touched?" A soldier said curiously and reached out to a transparent humanoid creature that landed on a chair by the road.
"No!" Li Mingze stretched out his hand and shouted, but it was too late. The soldier's hand had already touched the transparent humanoid creature.
