Chapter 19: The Mirrored World in the Night
The purple forest is silent.
Everywhere is full of life, but it is cold and dead.
There have never been any animals, no insects, only the "rustling" sound brought by the air circulation, indicating that the world is still "alive".
Chen Yi had an electric baton in his left hand and a military shovel in his right hand, and he walked closely along the footprints left by the female alien. He didn't know if the footprints were intentionally left by the other party or forced to do so.
The ground was muddy and wet, and it was hard not to leave footprints. So Chen Yi prefers to believe the latter.
He didn't dare to go too fast, for fear of being detected by the female aliens and then attacking him. It would take at least three days for the necklace to be fully charged, and he knew that he was in the most dangerous state at this time, so he had to be as cautious as possible.
As time passed, the sky in the mirrored world gradually darkened.
Chen Yi looked up at the sun that had long disappeared in the sky, and the extremely dim "moon" satellite, and subconsciously scratched the root of his ear with an electric baton. He clearly remembered that it was morning before he "passed" from Earth, and it was dark before three or four hours, and it was obvious that the time of the two worlds was not synchronized.
And that's a matter of course. On one side is the Earth, and on the other side is a planet in another star system, and there are ghosts when the time is the same.
Stopping, Chen Yi took out a flashlight from his backpack and put it in his trouser pocket for backup, and when it was so dark that he couldn't see anything, he took it out and used it.
While it's dangerous to shine in the forest, it's even more dangerous to smear a few blind walks. Maybe a heel could throw him to death.
Soon, it was completely dark.
The dim satellite in the sky was indeed as Chen Yi expected, don't be embarrassed that it illuminates, it is not easy to even see it clearly.
The military shovel in his right hand was put back into the backpack, Chen Yi took out a flashlight, pointed to the front and turned on the switch.
"Smack. ”
With a crunch sound...... Nothing happened.
"Huh?"
Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, then frowned, shook the flashlight vigorously, and pressed the switch again.
"Click, click. ”
The flashlight still didn't emit any light.
"Out of power?" Chen Yi stopped, tapped the flashlight with an electric baton, and pressed the switch again.
"Smack. ”
There was still not a hint of a light up.
"No, I used it last night, so why can't I use it today? And even if the power runs out, at least I have to flash it......"
After fiddling for a moment, Chen Yi suddenly raised his head and recalled what the black-robed man had said before.
"Only in the world of mirrors can the transcendent exert their strength. Just like in a mirrored world, technology fails. ”
Flashlights, which belong to household appliances, naturally belong to the products of science and technology. Then in the mirror world, the technology will naturally fail......
Knowing this, Chen Yi's face was a little ugly, and he immediately raised the electric baton in his left hand and pressed the button.
"Smack. ”
There was still a crisp sound, and not even a single wire came out.
“…… you!" Chen Yi slammed the electric baton and flashlight on the ground.
An electric baton that can't be discharged can't even compare to a brick!
Thanks to the fact that I haven't encountered any danger for so long, otherwise the enemy will come and stab him with an electric baton, and the other party may still feel a little itchy.
Sitting on the ground, Chen Yi pulled out his backpack and began to throw all kinds of "invalid" materials and tools to reduce the weight.
Charger? thrown.
Power bank tossed.
Connecting wires?
Electronic watches?
Headphones? throw.
Lighter?
Chen Yi stopped throwing and tossed, and in the darkness where he couldn't see his five fingers, he opened his eyes wide and tried to observe the shape of the lighter, and pressed his thumb.
"Smack. ”
Very good, electric, throw ......
In the end, apart from his mobile phone, he didn't have a single electronic product on his body.
Putting his backpack back on, Chen Yi stood up, looked up at the gloomy sky, and then lowered his head and glanced at the dark ground, with an incomparably headache.
In such a dark environment, how did he find the footsteps of the female alien?
"Do you want to drill wood for fire?"
This thought flashed in Chen Yi's mind, and it only stayed for less than a second.
It is not so easy to drill wood for fire, otherwise there would be no need for ancient humans to work hard to keep the fire.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Chen Yi raised his eyebrows and took out the "poor necklace" from his jacket, and the green light flashed once a second, which suddenly illuminated the surrounding environment for half a meter.
"So bright?"
He couldn't close his mouth in surprise. The green light, which usually looks dim, is so powerful in such a dark environment.
Holding the emerald pendant tightly in his left hand, he picked up the military shovel again with his right hand, and with the help of the green light that flashed once a second, Chen Yi followed the female alien's footprints and accelerated his speed.
Being in the wild means danger. What's more, this is still the wild of the mirror world, although there are no ordinary creatures, but once one appears, it is not "ordinary." ”
Finding a place to hide as soon as possible is the way to survive.
"Squeak Quack...... Boom!"
It didn't take long to go. A loud bang came from behind Chen Yi suddenly.
Chen Yi immediately looked back and vaguely saw a giant tree breaking out of thin air and falling to the ground.
"Gollum. ”
After swallowing his saliva, Chen Yi began to sweat on his forehead, and quickly put away his necklace, rushed forward, and ran into a bush to hide his position.
“……”
Pressing his body to the lowest, Chen Yi didn't even dare to breathe.
And with the fall of this giant tree, the purple forest seemed to be pressed the switch, and it instantly "lived".
That's right!
It's "alive".
Branches and leaves began to shake, individual tree trunks began to shake, stones and soil pumped up and down, "rustling" sounds were heard in all directions, and even under Chen Yi's nose, a series of footprints similar to wild beasts appeared.
But he couldn't spot the beasts......
"Trouble... Haunted?"
After trembling like a quail for more than ten minutes, Chen Yi gradually calmed down, stood up tentatively, and walked out of the bushes.
He found that while the noises and visions around him were frightening, they didn't hurt him in any way. It's as if a group of invisible "ghosts" are fighting......
Reminiscent of the experiments he once conducted at the stone bridge in the back mountain, Chen Yi gradually understood that all the movements around him should come from the "real world" of this planet.
When real-world objects move, objects in the mirror world naturally move as well. That's why it's called the "mirror" world.
And the reason why the day is quiet is only because the animals in the real world of this planet are dormant. Dark night is the most active time for wild creatures.
Thinking of this, Chen Yi completely put his mind at ease, took out the emerald pendant again, and quickly followed the footprints of the female alien in a forest of "bullets and dangers".
After more than an hour, Chen Yi stopped. With the help of the flickering green light, he saw a deep hole not far to the right.
The entrance to the cave is just big enough for an adult to enter, and I don't know what beast dug it.
Lowering his head, Chen Yi looked at the footprints on the ground that stretched infinitely forward, hesitated for a long time, gave up the idea of continuing to walk, and walked towards the hole in the ground instead.
It was late enough, and after five or six hours of non-stop travel, he had reached the point of exhaustion and needed to rest and eat. What's more, there is a "war raging" outside, although those beasts in the real world can't hurt him in the mirror world, but it's not fun to accidentally be hit by a tree.
Before walking to the cave, Chen Yi first picked up a stone from the ground and threw it hard.
After a while, there was no movement in the burrow.
"Hey, Heyer?!"
Chen Yi shouted loudly into the cave again.
"There should be nothing ......"
Raising the military shovel, Chen Yi cautiously walked in. The more you walk, the more space there becomes.
But within ten seconds of walking, he was forced to stop.
Not because of the insight into the ground, but because of the sharp hooked dagger around his neck.
Chen Yi: "......"
