Chapter 46

Looking at the qi qi in front of him, Tang Wuqiu couldn't speak for a long time, he was silent for a long time before he asked softly, "You mean...... This is what you call a monster? ”

If it weren't for the precedent that Angel Cat and Little Squirrel had not joked before, Tang Wuqiu would have suspected that the other party was playing tricks on himself.

This is a monster?!

A clear test tube about the thickness of a finger?

Probably seeing Tang Wuqiu's doubts, the little flying squirrel squatting on Tang Wuqiu's shoulder whispered: [That test tube is full of monster eggs. When the word "monster" was spoken, there was obviously a hint of jealousy in the tone of the flying squirrel.

"Eggs?" Tang Wuqiu was a little surprised, and after a closer look, he found that this was indeed the case, although the test tube was small, it was not "transparent" because it was empty, but it was also crowded with spherical transparent eggs of about one millimeter, and if you looked closely, you could see that there was a translucent dot like a hair in the center of each egg.

I didn't think it was clear before, but after seeing it clearly now, Tang Wuqiu only felt an inexplicable creepy sense of danger coming from his back, making him couldn't help but take a step back.

The little flying squirrel couldn't notice Tang Wuqiu's action because he was on Tang Wuqiu's shoulder, thinking that he didn't know it yet, so in order to prevent Tang Wuqiu from being hurt in the future, he hurriedly opened his mouth to tell everything he had seen and heard with the angel cat these days.

······

After all, flying squirrels and angel cats are animals, although there are many restrictions on living in human society, but also because they are not human relationships, so in many places where humans cannot enter lightly, they can travel freely.

The forest behind Jialan University and Jialan Military Academy is one of them.

At the beginning, in order to protect the ecological environment and the original appearance of the forest, the empire not only set up barriers at the edge of the forest, but also sent special guards to guard them, but they were all put on human or high-tech products, and they were not very wary of small animals.

Therefore, although the little flying squirrel and the angel cat have experienced some twists and turns, they can be regarded as having come to this forest without danger.

I don't know if it's because of the good protection, this forest is full of trees, lush, the air is unique and there is a lot of food. Angel cats and flying squirrels are small people, and their daily activities are to explore this forest in addition to filling their stomachs.

In fact, the so-called "exploration" is just to take a look and get familiar with the environment, but because this forest is too big for the two small animals, they don't pay much attention to the time when they walk around, and then during a night stay, they found an area that is incompatible with this forest.

The area is actually the same from the outside, the grass is delicious, the flowers are colorful, and it is very beautiful, but the sense of smell of angel cats and flying squirrels is not fake, they smell the "high-tech smell" in this area that is completely different from the surrounding trees and soil.

For angel cats and flying squirrels, the taste of human society is summed up as "high-tech taste".

Mankind!

How can there be humans in this?!

You know, the reason why Angel Cat and Little Squirrel chose this forest is because it is sparsely populated and can be completely scattered, but they didn't expect that there would already be traces of people here.

Originally, Angel Cat and Little Squirrel thought it was a wild man or something that had wandered here, but later they found out that this was definitely not a simple human track, and the place they found was not the center at all, but just the tip of the iceberg!

And the reason why they didn't find out before this is because it's a huge research institute built underneath!

As an erudite rat, the flying squirrel played an important role in their visit to the underground structure.

And the "fodder" they found using people as "fodder", as well as those "monsters", is also because of this.

The only consolation for them was that although the monster was cold and murderous, the researchers in the white coats seemed to understand their combat prowess, and basically kept them firmly in the thick isolated glass room, and when enough research was done, the monster would be completely killed.

······

[Before you came, they had already killed a monster, because that monster's combat power was too strong, so they would only cultivate one at a time. I think they must have wanted to raise new monsters when they brought you in. The little flying squirrel's voice was small, but listening to Tang Wuqiu's ears was tantamount to thunder.

"Raise a monster with eggs every time?"

[Well, I heard them say where this egg came from' baby, and this monster is very weird, unless people don't eat it, so from the hatching of the egg to the growth and maintenance of daily life characteristics, human lives are needed to fill it!] According to my observations with Angel Cat during this time, a monster has to die at least five people from hatching to death! Probably because of the same human reasons, the researchers here simply used 'feed' instead. The little flying squirrels are not idle and bored, but they are worried that this monster will bring a crisis to the environment in which they live, so they hid and hid a few more times, but they didn't expect to learn about this by accident.

Tang Wuqiu silently repeated the words of the little flying squirrel, and at the same time his face was pale, his heart was also more and more shocked - feed, this is not a matter of human life! Tang Wuqiu couldn't help but remember that he had heard from his sister-in-law that the traitors in their clan had caused the entire martial arts to hunt down and kill because they treated human life at will and used people to refine something terrible...... It seems that no matter what world you are in, this kind of scum is a scum!

If he hadn't experienced it himself this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have known that there was such a dark place in the empire!

Compared to the little flying squirrel's narrative, Angel Cat's love seems to be much more intense - although she doesn't look down on humans, she thinks that humans are still important to them as "shovelers", and the monster is too ugly and terrible to completely exceed her aesthetics - she walked around the display table with test tubes in the middle of the room, stretched out her paw and pressed it somewhere.

With the angel cat's movements, almost instantly, a terrifying monster appeared in front of Tang Wuqiu with its mouth wide open and seemed to be about to pounce!

“……!” Tang Wuqiu's pupils shrank suddenly.

······

[Don't be afraid, it's dead. 】

After gathering his mind, Tang Wuqiu realized that although the face of the thing was hideous and terrifying, it was motionless, and suddenly, an idea came to his mind, and he said, "Could it be that this is the monster?" ”

The thing is about two meters tall, the head is like a mallet, but the front section is a hole, the two forelimbs are very slender, but the curved claws are as sharp as a hook, the whole body is supported by the hind limbs and stands upright, it is very developed with two hind legs, and there is a long tail behind it, about as long as the body, and the tip of the tail is also a sharp hook, like a scorpion tail.

The most special thing is that this thing is completely white, and even the internal organs and bones are delicate. If you exclude this horrific appearance, it looks like a statue made of crystal, which looks extremely fragile.

However, Tang Wuqiu relied on the previous "popular science" of the little flying squirrel and angel cat to conclude that this thing would definitely not be "fragile".

[Well, I think they seem to call this monster the "Perfecter.] Seeing Tang Wuqiu staring sideways at the monster, the little flying squirrel sneered.

Tang Wuqiu also felt sarcastic: "The perfect one? The perfect cannibal? ”

[However, I see that the information says that this is not final, so it is not yet the word "perfect", and most people still call it "xenomorphism". Although the little flying squirrel and the angel cat depend on each other, but the angel cat is a delicate little princess, and she likes some cute things for girls and girls the most, and she gets along well on weekdays, but once she talks about these things, the two still can't talk together, and now there can be a Tang Wuqiu and he can talk to, and the little flying squirrel can't help but open up the conversation.

Tang Wuqiu silently recited the words "perfect" and "xenomorph", and then looked at the monster...... Xeno: "And how did this one die?" ”

[Naturally, it was killed by their people here.] The little flying squirrel wrinkled his nose, and the already miniature pointed face was wrinkled into a ball of facial fur because of this action, [That monster is very strong in terms of bite force, tearing force, speed, etc.,] At least he is completely not enough for the other party to stuff his teeth, but fortunately, the other party is not interested in creatures other than poisonous humans, and he can also spew venom from his mouth, and even metal can melt! At least no one is perfect, they also have weaknesses, oh, you see, it's also the head, knock through their heads, the brain marrow is shattered, and it's over. 】

“…… Head? Isn't it okay to have these parts of the internal organs? Tang Wuqiu looked at the clearly visible organs of the white skin on the upper body of the alien species, especially the very obvious heart, and wondered.

But it's really strange, the internal organs of this xenomorph look so similar to humans! However, when I looked at the whole body, I couldn't see any nerves or blood vessels.

[They all dare to show the position of their internal organs, how can they make this a weakness? In fact, don't think it's fragile, it's actually the stiffest part of their body. The little flying squirrel shook his head.

"Little flying squirrel, you are so good, you know so much." Tang Wuqiu couldn't help but admire, and at the same time, he became more and more curious about the origin of the little flying squirrel.

Who knew that the little flying squirrel didn't feel praised, his small body stiffened, and then said vaguely: [It's just a coincidence, and the angel cat also knows. 】

Angel Cat held her head high: [That's right, I ......] Before she finished her words, all of a sudden, the alarm bell sounded!

······

"Beep-"

"Beep-beep-"

"Beep-beep-beep-"

As the entire research institute suddenly blared a shrill alarm, the surrounding lights began to flicker at the same time.

[Not good! They may have noticed that you were missing! The angel cat didn't care about being interrupted and got up, and immediately screamed when he saw this, and the hair around his body exploded, [Without further ado, let's run!] 】

[Go this way!] The little flying squirrel didn't stay on Tang Wuqiu's shoulder, shaking its wings and gliding forward like a light leaf, [Follow me!] I know the way out of here! 】

The situation was urgent, Tang Wu didn't care about anything, and immediately ran behind the flying flying squirrel and angel cat.

Although the flying squirrel and angel cat are panicked, it is probably not the first time they have encountered such a situation, or they have encountered a similar situation before, so they are very familiar with the action of escaping.

It's a pity that this time there is one more "drag oil bottle" among them, Tang Wuqiu.

In this research institute, cameras and patrols are arranged everywhere because of dangerous biological realizations, and in order not to disturb the environment in which researchers do real things, they are basically on standby, but now the situation has changed dramatically, and the original "standby" state of machines or agencies are all moving.

Compared to Angel Cat and Little Flying Squirrel, Tang Wuqiu's body size is too "huge", Angel Cat and Little Flying Squirrel can easily shrink the entire dead end, but they can't even hide one of Tang Wuqiu's legs.

Along the way, although the angel cat and the flying squirrel fled in the right direction, the "chasing soldiers" following them did not decrease by one, but more and more.

The angel cat is like a white shadow, running on the ground for a while, flying in the air for a while, and climbing away on the wall for a while, but when he feels it carefully, he finds that those people and guards are getting closer and closer to them, and he is anxious, and suddenly understands the reason.

It's just that at the moment, I understand that there is no use for eggs_(:3ゝ∠)_.

Don't look at the angel cat always calling "little fat man", "black and white little fat man" and the like, but in fact, I like Tang Wuqiu a lot, but now in this situation, Tang Wuqiu can't escape at all, he is in a hurry, and the angel cat is also anxious, and he can't maintain that arrogant tone: [Oh, oh my God, I forgot jì little fat man, you are fatter now!] The blind spots we can hide from can't stop you at all! 】

If it were still the round black and white fat man, they would have been able to escape without a sound - she and the flying squirrel had done this many times! Time-tested!

But I didn't expect it to capsize in the gutter this time...... Ahhh>h

In the face of Angel Cat's complaints, Tang Wuqiu could only smile helplessly, he also understood why Angel Cat complained, but the current transformation situation was not something he could control.

[Go this way! The angel cat said that after all, it was unintentional, flapped its wings, took Tang Wuqiu to turn a corner, squeezed through a gap and then stopped at a pipe, [Okay, they can't keep up with that turn just now, let's hurry up and climb out of this ventilation pipe!] 】

Tang Wuqiu, who had just almost forced himself to squeeze over and almost squeezed into a partial way, looked at the angel cat and finished speaking, the whole cat swooped upward, and in the blink of an eye, the whole cat was only left with a round and fluffy buttocks, and soon even the tip of the tail disappeared.

After watching the whole process, Tang Wuqiu, the whole person is ∑ (っ°Д°; Is it possible that you have to climb out of this ventilation pipe yourself? But this pipe is at most about as thick as your own head.,It's estimated that it will get stuck when you just drill into it/(tot)/~~.

The little flying squirrel relied on his body mini, but he was not as eager as the angel cat, but guarded behind, he saw Tang Wuqiu motionless, stunned for a moment and then suddenly realized - they were a little lacking in consideration, he and the angel cat's body can move unhindered, but Tang Wuqiu can't...... It's just that it's the only safer way for them to leave.

······

[Besides, there is only an escape path for this research institute, but it is impossible to open it unless it is faced with the catastrophe of the imminent destruction of the entire research institute - that requires the unified authorization of three-quarters of the people.] 】

"The whole institute is ruined?" Tang Wuqiu noticed the meaning of the little flying squirrel's words.

[You're not, aren't you? That can't be, you'll be caught! Knowing the meaning of Tang Wuqiu's repetition, the little flying squirrel couldn't maintain his usual calm appearance, and said in surprise with wide round eyes.

"But there's nothing else to do." Tang Wuqiu clenched his fists, no matter what, he had to give it a try.

Even if he is still arrested in the end? He always tried.

[Then you might as well try to drill the pipe!] The little flying squirrel said eagerly. In his opinion, whether it is fighting with humans or with machine people, Tang Wuqiu has no chance of winning, okay!

Tang Wuqiu shook his head: "I can't do anything about this, unless I can change back into the appearance of a giant panda." ”

What are you still rubbing? If you don't leave, it's too late! A cat's head sticks out of the pipe, and then after noticing Tang Wuqiu's appearance, the angel cat's eyes widen and his teeth bared his teeth, [Oh my God, I forgot your size, poor little fat man, what did you say you ate the wrong thing? Not only has it become such a strange shape, but also hairless and pitiful? 】

"Leave me alone, let's leave." Tang Wuqiu decided to ignore the angel cat's mercy, thought about it again, and untied the hairband on his head.

The angel cat and the little flying squirrel looked at Tang Wuqiu's green silk scattered, and they didn't know why.

Tang Wuqiu weighed the length and weight of the hairband in his hand, and finally decided to tie it around the neck of the angel cat—the little flying squirrel was too small, and the length of the headband was estimated to be able to wrap him into a mummy mouse—and said, "If you have the chance, please hand this over to Saloman...... In the hands of the regent, by the way, do you know the regent of the Jialan Empire? ”

The angel cat was quite resistant to Tang Wuqiu's behavior of hanging something around his neck, but after listening to his words, he still held it back and obediently asked him to tie it to himself: [Oh, I know, we also thought about the forest outside his nest before. 】

Tang Wuqiu: ...... Glenway Castle = Nest...... Is it?

[Yes, as the strongest of the human race, we also have some concerns. The flying squirrel nodded as well.

Is this a relic of you? Angel Cat [Hegel believed that living things are superior to inorganic external things, because living organic matter has an inner thing pointed out by an external shape, and because it is internal, it is very hidden or mysterious. So this animal worship should be understood as the contemplation of the hidden inner aspect, which, as a life, is a power that is higher than the mere external things. He also believes that Egypt used animal figures in a symbolic way. At this point, the animal image is not used for its own sake, but for a universal meaning. The animal image of the ancient Egyptian god apparently does not represent itself, but is intended to imply a universal meaning associated with it. For example, the lion's head represents kingship and strength, and the baboon represents wisdom. In this sense, Egyptian hieroglyphs were also largely symbolic.

The symbolic thinking of the Egyptians was concentrated in the image of the gods. Statues of deities that are common in temples and everyday life, either the heads of animals plus human bodies, or the heads of human heads plus animal bodies, such as crocodiles, various fish, frogs, and many species of birds, appear on stone tablets along the Nile, especially the stork, the god favored by the god of writing, Thoth. Desert beasts such as lions, dung beetles, scorpions, and king cobras were revered by Egyptians, eagles and vultures were birds dedicated to protecting pharaohs and queens, and bulls, antelopes, and the longhorned buffalo, a symbol of the mother god Hathor, represented Egyptians' blessings for the prosperity of their families. The ancient Egyptians believed that the trunks, branches, leaves, flowers and fruits of various plants also hid the energy of life, and the branches of the trees inhabited the gods who blessed water and fresh air, and the sedge flowers and lotus flowers represented the rich land of the Nile Valley. Images of the king unifying Upper and Lower Egypt often appear on both sides of the throne, with lotus flowers and reeds representing Upper and Lower Egypt linked together to symbolize the unity of Egypt. At the end of the lotus and reed stems were the Nubians and the West Asians, implying that the unification of Egypt was complemented by the conquest and enslavement of foreign peoples. The multi-seeded pomegranate was a symbol of fertility in ancient Egypt. In the temples, the Egyptians dedicated a corresponding space to those animals and plants that represented the gods.

An important concept in ancient Egyptian religion was the idea of a harmonious coexistence between man, god and nature.

To sum up, we can see that the main reason for the worship of animals and plants in ancient Egypt was formed by the oasis plot of the Egyptians in the Nile environment and the admiration for the tenacious vitality of animals and plants in the desert environment. The oasis plot of the Egyptians, the mystery and attraction of the exuberant vitality of animals and plants, made the Egyptians establish a harmonious relationship between man and nature, man and animals and plants. This became an important feature of Egyptian civilization;

The creation myths of the Egyptians and the main gods and goddesses in religion are inextricably linked to animals and plants. The □□ cult that prevailed in Egypt was undoubtedly an extension of the cult of animals and plants. This kind of worship adds a layer of mystery to the relationship between Egyptians and nature, and makes Egyptians form national customs such as respecting the laws of nature and harmoniously handling the relationship between man and nature.

The worship of animals and plants in ancient Egypt penetrated into the philosophical thoughts, folk aesthetics, architectural culture, and even literature and art of the Egyptians. The reason why Egyptian civilization is gorgeous and colorful is inseparable from the injection of animal and plant worship into the civilization gene. Finally, Tongguò's study of the cult of animals and plants in ancient Egypt and its influence may shed some light on our harmonious handling of the relationship between man and nature, respect for the laws of nature, and the rational use and exploitation of natural resources. 】
