Chapter 35: Returning home is a chivalrous song, looking forward to the dust and the Silk Road
In a long canyon, caves were carved into the cliffs on both sides of the canyon, which then stretched deep into the mountain, forming a vast mountain labyrinth where a civilization settled. They are hard-shelled terrestrial creatures that still crawl on the ground and have not evolved into a standing form like most civilizations, but this does not affect their IQ development. In this canyon and this mountain forest, they are the absolute rulers, and this planet is the most chaotic of the thirteen planets in the Chaos Realm.
In a cell on the cliff at the bottom of the canyon, two Chinese and eight foreigners from Earth are trapped here, they are captured slaves. At this time, a white and fat Chinese shook the fence of the cell vigorously and yelled outside:
"Let us out, you bunch of garbage, or when grandpa and I go out, we will tear off all your turtle shells......"
“Shut up, they don't understand, idiot。 A foreigner couldn't stand the fat man's yell, he said.
This sentence in English was understandable to the fat man, and he turned around and scolded:
"You're a stupid pig, if you don't shout, they will forget us here, and sooner or later we will starve to death. "Those extraterrestrial lifeforms that resemble pangolins on Earth just keep them here, and then they don't seem to care, and they only send some food every few days.
"Alright, you can save some effort, it's their turn to shout. A tall girl with a melon seed face next to her said.
"It's still Xiaoyu, you know that you feel sorry for your husband, marrying you is really the greatest blessing in my life. The fat man said with a hippie smile.
"It's not for me, marrying you fat pig, my mother has been moldy for eight lifetimes. Having said that, there was tenderness in the eyes of the melon seed face.
The white fat man was just about to turn around and sit down next to his wife, when a beetle suddenly jumped over, and its front paws with thick scales smashed on the ground full of rubble, and a small piece of gravel burst out, hitting the fat man's leg, and the fat man immediately screamed like a pig. His wife, the melon-faced girl, rushed over, grabbed a rock, and threw it at the beetle through the crack in the cell door.
With a few clicks, the beetle catches the thrown stone with its mouth, chews it in a few clicks, and then spits out a pile of debris and looks at the fragile little bugs inside with contempt. Then the cell door opened, and one of the Beetle's forelegs swung a little, motioning for them all to come out. The curtain of the people who are locked up here is very weak, and the Beetle is not as powerful as the Sky Wild, and can directly get information from the minds of other living beings, so there are still obstacles to the communication between the two sides, and they can only complete the simplest expressions of meaning.
"What are you going out for?" The ten people inside looked at each other, and all kinds of bad premonitions immediately appeared in their hearts, did the beetles plan to kill them, would they eat them directly, or steam them, roast them?
“Let's go, go out and look, it's no use to hide here。 A tall Russian said. His name is Ivan Mukhanov and he has always been the backbone of this group and has contributed a lot to this small team.
So, under the leadership of Ivan, ten people walked out tremblingly, and did not stop until an open area of a canyon, where there stood two earthlings: one was a beautiful woman with long hair and a shawl with a stick in her hand, and the other was a man with a languid expression and misty eyes, and they were all Chinese. These two people were naturally Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yan smiled, the information provided by Heavenly Crazy Ling Xiao was very accurate, and they found it directly.
This group of people immediately shouted excitedly, especially the fat man and the melon-faced beauty, they actually saw the Chinese again, and they were still two, this mood is incomprehensible to ordinary people, only to hear the fat man desperately shouting:
"Big brother, beauty, help. We're here, help....... Then everyone was agitated, and there were still earthlings here, and they finally saw their kind, and some even shed tears of excitement. But one of the beetles watching them waved its tail, and a cloud of sand and gravel flew wildly, and immediately hit them and howled wolves.
Liu Yanxiao suddenly became angry, and her figure flickered, and the golden hoop stick in her hand was pressed against the head of the beetle. Teleportation?All ten earthlings were dumbfounded. The beetles, however, were not so surprised, and a large area suddenly surrounded them, and several small flying machines above the canyon also appeared at once, surrounding the place.
"We're here to save you, don't be in a hurry. Zhuo Jun signaled to his compatriots on the earth to be calm, and then sent a message to those beetles:
"Please let my people go. ”
"Let them go, but they were bought at the cost of us, and now you have to buy them back. A leading beetle stepped forward.
Looking at this two-meter-long beetle that was half a meter tall lying on the ground, Zhuo Junyi knew that they were not very advanced, and they couldn't even compare to the bear people, so he said:
"What do you want?"
"Twenty tons of third-generation metal. "The third generation of metals is a term here, metal and other heavy elements are elements that will only appear in the later stage of star evolution, and now the metal ores that naturally exist in the universe are called the first generation, and the metals made by forging and processing of living organisms are called the second generation, and the third generation is the super heavy metal elements produced by the second generation of re-reaction in the forging system that returns to the star level, most of which are alloys, because in that case, the pure metal elements cannot remain stable. Therefore, third-generation metals are very valuable, and they are also materials for making spaceships and some top-level weapons, and only those very powerful civilizations can make them in large quantities, after all, it is not easy to build and control a star-level reaction system.
"I don't have metal ores. Zhuo Junyi said.
"Then I have no reason to hand them over to you. The Beatle leader said.
"You have a point, but I also want you to understand the laws of our planet. On our planet, violating the right to liberty and the right to the safety of life of others is a great crime, and I think you have committed such a crime by now. ”
"Oh, so what? This is not your earth, there is only our law here, and there is no nonsense of you in our law. The leader of the Beetle didn't care about Zhuo Junyi's words at all, and Zhuo Junyi had no intention of reasoning with them, he just wanted to find a random interface and start robbing people.
"We earthlings will only obey our own laws. As soon as Zhuo Jun finished speaking, Liu Yanxiao's stick was inserted into the ground, and suddenly the entire valley began to shake, and large stones on the cliffs on both sides began to fall, with the golden hoop stick as the origin, dozens of cracks stretched wantonly in the canyon.
"Bang", before the beetles could react, a flying machine in the sky was smashed to the ground by Zhuo Junyi, and then with a punch, the flying machine became a smoking ball of scrap metal.
"Now, you will be punished according to the laws of our planet. Zhuo Junyi stared coldly at the Beetle leader.
"If you win, take them away. The Beetle Leader had fierce eyes, but he spoke quickly without the slightest hesitation.
"Let's go. Liu Yan smiled and said to the ten compatriots who were completely ossified. It took them a long time to react, hugging each other and cheering, the melon-faced girl jumped directly onto Liu Yanxiao's body, making Liu Yanxiao at a loss for a while. Of course, these people have been imprisoned for decades, bought and sold by several groups of people, and have been living a miserable life of precariousness, and now they are free.
Later, after understanding, I learned that Zhuo Junyi's previous guess was correct, and they did come from the asteroid that Zhuo Junyi later named One Hundred and Eight, that is, a nearby asteroid that was only 1.8 million kilometers away from Laporte, but the situation of One Hundred and Eight seemed to be completely different from Laporte.
According to them, there were nearly a hundred people on one hundred and eight all the time, not only two on Laporte. Maybe the mysterious experimenter did two completely different routes of experiments: to the 18th earthlings, most of them are some scientists, these scientists continued their scientific research on the 18th, and soon some of the unbreakable problems on the ball were solved one by one, so the later 18th has developed into a planet with a considerable level of science and technology. The wreck of the upside-down ship that Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yanxiao saw on the One Hundred Eight was made by them to collect some ores in the deep sea.
Then, they actually built small propulsion devices, mounted them on their special spacesuits, and they left the surface of the 18 planets and went into space. But then a tragedy happened, like Zhuo Jun and the others, when they left Hundred Eight and reached a certain distance, One Hundred Eight exploded.
So they had nowhere to go, and they couldn't find another identical asteroid next to them, Laport. After all, 1.8 million kilometers is an unreachable distance for them, and without equipment on the planet's surface, they simply don't know which direction to go. In this way, this group of people can only wander in the universe, but fortunately, their life forms are much stronger than when they were on Earth, so they relied on the supply in their spacesuits and actually wandered in the universe for several years until they encountered an alien spaceship.
In this way, they survived with the help of an alien civilization, and lived so long through the technology of that civilization, according to them, maybe more than a thousand years, no one can remember. Until one day, this alien civilization was suddenly attacked in the universe, and the entire spaceship was destroyed.
And in the end, there were more than 30 people left of these earthlings under the nest, who were captured as trophies, and then migrated between many civilizations as goods, pets, and exotic beasts, and finally fell into the hands of these beetles inexplicably, and were locked up for decades, until at this moment they only had these ten people left.
Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yanxiao glanced at each other, and now everything is almost clear: the unknown experimenter has done two experiments with completely different routes on Laporte and One Hundred Eight, and once the mice of these experiments leave the planet beyond a certain range, the "bomb" in the planet's core will detonate, forcing them to start life in the universe again, although the probability of them surviving is very low. And the civilization that saved these people should have gone to the Chaos Domain, but unfortunately this civilization was finished as soon as it came to the Chaos Domain, so they became prisoners, probably because the number was scarce, and the shape was different from that civilization, so they survived. It's just that later, for some reason, it fell into the hands of these beetles. This can also explain why they appeared on this planet in the most chaotic part of the Chaos Realm, because the civilization they brought here was not strong, and they could only find a foothold from here, but unfortunately, it did not succeed.
After figuring out everything, Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yanxiao both had a feeling of anger, in the universe, what happened to the earthlings was still human? This also reminded them once again that behind them, there has always been a mastermind behind the experiment.
"Besides the ten of you, is there no one else?" asked Zhuo Junyi.
These people looked like they wanted to say something, and then they set their eyes on the fat Chinese man together. The fat man had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:
"Two, immortals, hello, my name is Xie Yuba, and this is my wife Xie Yu. In fact, there was a Chinese who survived in the end, his name was Zhang Zechen, and we all respected him and always called him Brother Chen. Like you, he also has a lot of physical strength, he can climb the eaves and walls, and he can pull mountains, and when we came here together, he ......."
"He sold us. Ivan spoke fluently in Chinese, and his tone was very angry, and the others also had angry expressions.
Needless to say, Zhuo Jun and Liu Yan understood that if Zhang Zechen was a little powerful, if he came here, he would definitely be recruited by other civilizations, and then, this person named Zhang Zechen abandoned his compatriots and went to work for others. But in fact, although the situation is similar, it is a little more serious than this: they originally had fifteen people in the hands of the Beetle, and Zhang Zechen killed three before joining another civilization, which was not the Beetle civilization, but much stronger than the Beetle civilization.
"If that's the case, the nature of things changes. Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yan shook their heads secretly with a smile, this Zhang Zechen is also a trouble to deal with, and what he did is too embarrassing for the Chinese.
"There is a ship on your planet that is stuck upside down on the ground, is it Zhang Zechen's doing?" asked Zhuo Junyi.
"Have you been to our planet?" Xie Fatty's eyes were about to fall out in surprise.
"Yes, if you had been more than twenty years late, we might have met it. Zhuo Jun let out a long sigh, fate is such a trick.
"That bastard, because we used to call him Brother Chen, he was a miscellaneous crumb. Listen to me, two immortals, he forced us away, he must go to outer space, so he lifted Ivan's ship and stuck it on the ground, and threatened to kill us, so we had to follow him, and then we became homeless, wandering, and bullied. Xie Fatzi actually howled and cried as he spoke.
And Ivan was their chief scientist, and at the age of one hundred and eighteen, their small propulsion device was made by Ivan, which directly led to them being forced into the universe by Zhang Zechen. As for the fat man Xie Yuba, he is engaged in molecular materials research, his wife Xie Yu is an astrophysicist, and everyone else also has their own areas of expertise.
"Do you know where he is now?" asked Liu Yan with a smile. She felt that she couldn't ignore this matter, compared with Zhuo Junyi, she was much more emotionally rich in many times, and would inexplicably burst out with some kindness and a sense of justice. Moreover, this is also a good opportunity for them to start the road of heroes, heroes, of course, first of all, justice for their compatriots.
Everyone shook their heads, they couldn't even communicate with other beings in detail, of course it was impossible to know what was going on outside.
As soon as Zhuo Jun and Liu Yanxiao calmed everyone's emotions, they snatched one of the Beetle's flying machines and took these people to the depths of a dense forest millions of kilometers away. Kong Xuanru's small flying machine is too small, it will be very crowded if these people go, and Kong Xuanru may not meet them, after all, they are a super alien life standing at the top of the chaotic domain.
In this way, Zhuo Jun and the two of them couldn't leave, and from this moment on, they were tied up to death. On this chaotic planet, not to mention the various high-IQ alien lifeforms, even the indigenous beasts that exist here can easily eat them.
Zhuo Jun glanced at the ten people who were happily setting up the camp, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Hey, ten cumbersome. ”
Liu Yan sensed his thoughts with a smile and said with a smile:
"Maybe that's what we're really supposed to do, and don't forget, you're a hero. ”
"That's right, for the country and the people, the great man of chivalry. These ten people are all of us earthlings here, and they can be regarded as citizens of a country, and it seems that our heroic identity can't run away. Zhuo Jun looked up to the sky and sighed.
Although Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yanxiao were joking, they both knew very well in their hearts that this was not a simple matter: it meant that they would be responsible for the safety of these people in the future, they could no longer act without scruples in the future, and they had to start accepting the rules of the game in the chaotic domain, and these all represented fear, retreat, compromise, trickery, and deception, which were also the things that Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yanxiao had always wanted to touch.
"All living beings and civilized groups are unbalanced. A man named Socrates said so.
"Since they are all unbalanced, what is the ultimate philosophical meaning of life?"
"Will heroism be the ultimate meaning?" Zhuo Junyi and Liu Yanxiao didn't know the answer.
