Chapter 1182
Utopia
Inside the pixel sphere, An Qingyu spoke in astonishment:
"【Utopia】 is under the sea?"
"That's right." The knight standing beside the group explained proactively,
"In the earliest days, before the Oath Society was established, the President was inside a certain 'Human Enclosure.' Together with several knowledgeable local residents willing to follow her out, she constructed a special submarine to escape the Human Enclosure.
Later, as more and more people were brought back by the President, this submarine was continuously improved and expanded.
In the end, dozens of top scientists and engineers collaborated to design a massive deep-diving city, and the President spent a full year constructing it with pixels.
This pixel city that shelters survivors from Human Enclosures across various divine kingdoms of the world is 【Utopia】."
As if to let Lin Qiye and the others see the outside clearly, one corner of the pixel sphere gradually became transparent.
As the pixel sphere descended, tiny specks of light suddenly appeared at the bottom of the murky sea, like viewing Earth from the infinite depths of space, with scattered lights connecting into clusters in the darkness.
These lights extended from the seabed in five directions, resembling a massive sea star crouching at the bottom of the deep sea.
"卧槽……"
Baili Pangpang, seeing this spectacular scene, let out a classic Chinese exclamation, then murmured to himself, "This thing... I definitely can't afford it..."
An Qingyu stared at the diving city in shock, her eyes blazing with two flames of curiosity.
Lin Qiye was equally overwhelmed. His mouth hung slightly open, and his gaze instinctively fell on the silver-haired girl in tattered cloak on the deck. His expression was complicated.
Others only saw how spectacular this diving city was, but only he knew how many days and nights of effort and dedication Jinian had poured into this magnificent city.
One person, building an entire city under the sea with pixels—this wasn't something just anyone could do.
As if sensing Lin Qiye's gaze, Jinian turned her head, slightly lifted her chin, and wore a proud smile on her lips. Her eyes seemed to say:
Look! Pretty awesome, right?!
Lin Qiye silently gave her a thumbs up.
The pixel sphere wrapping the cruise ship gradually approached the central part of the massive sea star. The circular pixel platform descended, and the pixel sphere rolled into the diving city along the flowing seawater.
KABOOM—!
With a dull thud, the pixel sphere got wedged on a giant支架. The surrounding seawater was rapidly drained, and the barrier surrounding the cruise ship dissipated.
Lin Qiye and the others walked onto the deck. Dense lights flickered on overhead, illuminating this dim dock.
Before they could take in their surroundings, a wave-like roar of cheers came from the side, startling them!
"The President is back!!"
"Welcome back, President!"
"Who are those people next to the President? Are they new Human Enclosure survivors brought back?"
"The President is magnificent!"
"President! President! We love you, President!!"
"..."
Lin Qiye turned to look. At the dock entrance, densely packed people huddled together, cheering excitedly like狂热fans. There were at least seven or eight hundred people.
Their skin colors varied—whites, blacks, and Asians in roughly equal proportions. But regardless of skin color, they were all speaking uniform Mandarin Chinese.
They held high banners, pixel screens, and several had even removed their white shirts to wave as flags. Written clearly on them was:
——??Jinian??
"Is this a fan meet?" Cao Yuan was deeply shaken.
"...You could say that." The knight explained helplessly,
"Everyone in 【Utopia】 was basically rescued by the President from Human Enclosures. You've been to Human Enclosures, so you should know what those places are like. After leaving those places, they no longer worship the gods and need a new belief.
In the eyes of these residents, the President, who personally rescued them and built such an almost miraculous diving city, is undoubtedly the best object of worship.
When these people see the President, it's like Western saints' disciples witnessing the Holy Sovereign in person. That fervor and excitement are unstoppable. The difference is, the Holy Sovereign wouldn't easily appear before Believers, but the President is a living, breathing person.
So whenever the President returns, we always have to mobilize significant manpower to maintain order."
As the knight explained, several Oath Society members had already disembarked, clearing a path for them.
Jinian waved cheerfully at the excited residents while walking forward. Lin Qiye and the others followed behind her, passing through the noisy crowd and heading straight into 【Utopia】.
Passing through a heavy pixel gate, they stepped out from the platform at the top of a tower. The full view of 【Utopia】's interior came into view.
Gray-brown pixel domes stretched to the horizon. Colorful pixel buildings stood scattered across the land like building blocks. The five city districts corresponded to the five points of the sea star shape, extending outward.
Neon-like dazzling lights illuminated every corner of the districts, making one feel as if they were inside a cyberpunk pixel city.
"This... is 【Utopia】?"
Lin Qiye and the others stood at the edge of the tower, completely awestruck by the city before them.
Who could have imagined that beneath the mist-shrouded depths of the sea, there could still exist such a magical and magnificent pixel city?
"How is it? Not bad, right?" Jinian clapped Lin Qiye on the shoulder, laughing heartily,
"This, is my kingdom!"
"...Completely beyond my imagination." Lin Qiye admitted truthfully.
"Come on, let me show you around."
Jinian led everyone down the tower. Several pixel vehicles resembling bicycles were already lined up on the roadside.
"【Utopia】 is a deep-sea city. Due to air circulation pressure, we prohibit any vehicles that emit polluting gases. You'll have to make do."
Jinian swung her leg onto one of the vehicles and pedaled off.
Lin Qiye and the others curiously examined the vehicles before riding after her.
"【Utopia】 is divided into six districts. The five outer districts house residents from different Human Enclosures, originally from different countries. No borders, no wars, Mandarin Chinese as the common language—it's a true city of freedom.
"The central district where we're now is the Oath Society headquarters and the area for various research institutes. It's also the core of all 【Utopia】.
"The equipment maintaining 【Utopia】's ecosystem and the food-growing areas are all above the dome. Specialized teams handle their maintenance.
"The outermost layer is covered with firepower defense systems and light-sensing stealth devices. Under normal circumstances, even if we encounter 'mysteries' in the deep sea, we'll be more than enough to handle them..."
