Chapter 17 (I) The Ark of Ancient Mankind

"Hey-" Tang Shuxing reached out to grab the woman, but he grabbed a void, so he had to run to the edge to look, and found that the woman landed steadily on a protruding plant below, the plant was like a huge mushroom, and there were other mushrooms growing around, but they were all huge, and the woman landed on it and jumped towards another giant mushroom, walking down the mountain.

Tang Shuxing and Gu Yan glanced at each other, and Tang Shuxing also jumped down first, landing on the mushroom and almost being ejected—because the surface of the mushroom was soft and elastic.

As soon as Tang Shuxing grasped the edge, Gu Yan jumped down again, this jump, as if falling on a spring bed, directly ejected the two of them into the mushroom, and fell downward, the moment they fell, Tang Shuxing also saw that the woman was still calmly jumping from one mushroom to another.

"Poof-" The two fell into a waterhole at the bottom of the mountain, and the moment they fell in, they felt that their brains were confused, but then the excitement brought by the ice water made the two of them instantly sober up, and immediately swam towards it.

As soon as he came out of the water, Tang Shuxing raised his eyes and saw an animal that looked like a rhinoceros, but with a body of scale armor and four eyes, was drinking water there, Tang Shuxing and the four-eyed animal looked at each other, and then the animal probe stretched out his tongue and licked Tang Shuxing's face, Tang Shuxing finally broke free, and dragged Gu Yan ashore by the way.

When they came ashore, they saw the woman also jump to the edge of the waterhole and stride towards the forest, and the two immediately followed, looking at the strange animals and plants in the forest, as if they were dreaming.

"It seems like there's a lot of everything. And the animals are so peculiar, could it be that the earth was like this hundreds of millions of years ago!? Gu Yan said as he walked, "But why is there no trace left, even if it is a mass extinction, there should be some fossils and other things, right?" ”

"I don't know, I think it's strange to me, but the available evidence shows that ancient humans did exist, and technology was more advanced than ours, and it was a strange time at that time. How so? Tang Shuxing was looking for suitable adjectives in his head. It should be said that it is a world where bullets and magic coexist. ”

"A world where bullets and magic coexist, I understand that." Gu Yan said, as he spoke, he saw a giant animal walking by, and the size of the animal was about the same as that of an elephant. It's just that the head sticks out like a giraffe. There he raised his head and tried to bite at the other birds that flew by. Except for the feathers on their wings, the birds are almost like fish.

The two watched as the animal walked not far away, with each step. They both felt the ground tremble, and then saw another animal that looked exactly like them, except with a slightly shorter tail, following them.

"Didn't you notice? The animals here are all in pairs. Tang Shuxing looked around.

Gu Yan nodded: "Do you want to say that this is Noah's Ark!?" ”

Tang Shuxing responded: "I always feel that these stories are not groundless, at least they have a certain basis, what do you think?" ”

"Maybe following that woman will find the answer." Gu Yan looked ahead, the woman was walking towards the front at a normal speed, but she stopped and stopped, as if waiting for them, asking them to hurry up and keep up.

Tang Shuxing looked at the woman and said, "If there is one male and one female here, then why is there only one woman left in the human race?" Why are there only ...... culture tanks Wait, there are two main culture tanks, right? ”

Gu Yan nodded: "Yes, the culture tank where the active cells are placed, along with the hill cave, there is another culture tank in that spherical room, does this mean that there are actually two people here?" A man and a woman? ”

Tang Shuxing followed the woman through the jungle: "It can be said that for hundreds of millions of years, it is impossible for human beings to maintain their original form and survive, maybe they transfer their consciousness to another place to preserve, but their physical body is left with something similar to the source cell, and when there is a need, they will let the source cells combine, add their consciousness, and restore the original appearance." ”

Gu Yan immediately nodded: "As soon as you say that, I think everything makes sense, I'll make bold assumptions." When ancient humans took care of this place, there were two people, a man and a woman, the man was in this sphere room, he hid his consciousness in the machine, and his body decomposed into the culture tank, he controlled the operation of the entire underground base, and the woman, as the source cell of the mother, preserved her consciousness, left the source cell, and constantly formed other creatures, in the hills and caves to carry out the simulation of reality, and constantly changed the environment and changed the creature itself to discover, What kind of form is the final form, which can adapt to any kind of environment, whether it is good or bad. ”

Tang Shuxing looked at Gu Yan and said: "Your analysis is very reasonable, maybe the sand corpse is a kind of biological metal that they use to realize, I don't know if there is such a word, I just came up with it myself, if the metal has no vitality, how can it change?" Unless this metal is a creature in its own right, it is only in our eyes that it is metal. ”

"Maybe the answer will come soon." Gu Yan watched a huge lake appear in front of him, and the woman was standing at the edge of the lake waiting for them, waiting for them to walk, the woman raised her hand towards the lake, and a pontoon bridge immediately rose under the lake, and the woman then strode towards the pontoon bridge, and at the end of the pontoon bridge, in the center of the lake, a strange house composed of four different types of houses floated.

"Let's go, death is death, death must understand what is going on." Tang Shuxing took the lead on the pontoon bridge, Gu Yan touched the gun on his waist, took a deep breath and followed.

As the two of them walked up the pontoon, they saw that there were countless strange things swimming in the lake, and the animals were all in pairs as they had seen in the jungle before, but the strangest thing was that so far they had not seen the killing, the real hunt, that is, one animal attacking another with all its might and devouring it. The most you can see is animals eating plants or drinking water, as if these strange and seemingly ferocious creatures here are just vegetarians.

The woman stood in front of the strange room and waited for them, and when they approached, the woman waved her hand, and a door immediately appeared in front of her, and the woman entered the room, stood in the doorway, looked at them, and then walked in.

Tang Shuxing and Gu Yan also immediately followed the woman into the house, and as soon as they entered, the door was closed, and the two turned around. All I could see was a white wall. And the house was empty, there was nothing, and the whole room was milky white, bright but not dazzling.

Stand in the middle of this room. Tang Shuxing had a sense of déjà vu.

"I think I've been here before." Tang Shuxing looked at the empty room. "I've really been here."

Gu Yan shook his head: "Impossible." You must be dreaming, or you've had too many adventures before to think you've come to this place yourself. Subconscious self-deception, born out of surprise. ”

"What about the woman?" Tang Shuxing looked around and found that the woman had suddenly disappeared, and he didn't know where he went.

Gu Yan subconsciously pulled out the gun, as soon as the gun was pulled out, the pistol was out of his hand, and flew directly into the air inside the house, and then the pistol disintegrated directly there, all the parts floated there, and then continued to rotate, and then quickly combined together, the muzzle of the gun was also towards Gu Yan, and at the moment when Gu Yan and Tang Shuxing had not reacted, the pistol fired.

"Huh-" A bullet shot out of the chamber of the gun and shot towards Gu Yan's forehead, Tang Shuxing and Gu Yan wanted to dodge, but their bodies couldn't move in an instant, but the bullet stopped at the moment when it hit Gu Yan's forehead.

Gu Yan and Tang Shuxing stared at the warhead, looking at the warhead that was hovering there, but it was still spinning but no longer moving forward, the sweat of the two of them instantly seeped out of their skin, but the moment it seeped out, the environment they were in was as if they were weightless, and the sweat did not drip to the ground, but floated towards the air.

At this time, Tang Shuxing suddenly realized that there was someone behind him, but he couldn't turn around, and the woman appeared behind him at some point, and with a wave of her hand, the bullet disintegrated, and instantly disappeared, and then the woman approached Gu Yan, and then approached Tang Shuxing, and then a hand slowly reached into Tang Shuxing's body.

Tang Shuxing began to feel the stinging pain of the wound, but then the stinging disappeared, on the contrary, he felt very comfortable, and at the same time drowsy, Gu Yan watched from the side and was anxious, but found that although the woman pierced Tang Shuxing's body, there was no blood flowing out of her body.

"What are you?" The woman finally spoke, but the words were not clear, sounding like a person with a little confusion, and then the woman asked a second sentence, "You are a human being, but you are not, you are not my person, but it is like, there are other things mixed in your body, why do you have Gu Dan cells in your body?" Who are you? ”

The woman's second sentence was still a little unclear at the beginning, but with each word she said, it became clearer and clearer, and when she said the word "Gudan", her tone of voice was completely normal, speaking in Chinese, and it was quite standard Mandarin.

"I don't know what you're talking about, I don't understand, I don't understand what you are!" Tang Shuxing replied, not struggling to speak.

The woman slowly bypassed Tang Shuxing and walked up to him, and at this time, Tang Shuxing saw that the woman's eyes were no longer empty, and there were other things in her eyes, just like the invisible feelings had turned into a liquid in her eyes, circulating there.

I don't know why, Tang Shuxing felt that the woman's eyes when she saw him were like Xia Jiezhu looking at herself, the kind of eyes that a person looked at and loved deeply.

"You're not Gu Dan, but you have his cells in your body, do you know where Gu Dan is? You took Gu Dan, right? The woman looked at Tang Shuxing, and then approached Tang Shuxing, raised her hand, put her index finger in front of Tang Shuxing's forehead, and then with a little force, her index finger was directly inserted.

The moment his index finger was inserted, Gu Yan was so surprised that he wanted to scream, but he couldn't move or speak.

And at that moment, Tang Shuxing's eyes were dark, as if a machine had been turned off. (To be continued......)
