5 Reasons for worship

The first time I charged, I just moved the door a little bit away.

This gate should have not been used for a long time, and the gap between the track of the gate is crawling with all kinds of weeds.

While waiting for the second charge, Wu Xiaoqing, who was idle and had nothing to do, took out a screwdriver from the car, and then cleaned up the weeds along the lower edge of the door.

On the other side, Shen Changwen leaned into the gap that he had moved out before, hoping to see clearly the source of the movement outside. But there is still a dense layer of plants growing on the outside of the stone wall, and nothing can be seen clearly.

The second launch looked a lot smoother.

Because their eyes had adapted to the darkness in the cave, when the light source outside began to shine in, Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen both felt unable to open their eyes.

When their gaze regained again, they were immediately stunned by what they saw.

It was raining heavily outside the cavern, and the rattling sound even drowned out the movement of the huge stone door as it opened.

In the overlapping rain, a dense crowd knelt on the road leading from the gate to the outside world. The crowd was quiet, barely making any sound.

Noise and silence are wonderfully combined, and an unsettling atmosphere is born.

The flashlight held by Wu Xiaoqing unconsciously swept over the kneeling crowd, and Shen Changwen noticed that whenever the light source swept to a certain area of the crowd, those people couldn't help but have some small restlessness. He counted three or four hundred of the crowd he saw now, and the crowd continued down the road until a bend obscured the view.

The primitive state of the crowd was clear at a glance, they had clearly not yet mastered the technique of breaking down the fibers, and each person had more and less cover, but they were all directly using the skin of the beast. Most of them have roughly processed stone spears and stone axes next to them, and a small number of metallic weapons are estimated to have come from natural bare mines, and there are no traces of refining at all.

At the front of these crowds, there was a tall primitive man kneeling alone, with a metal axe beside him, the sharpness of the axe was also not worth mentioning, but it was enough to make Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen's hearts tremble.

When Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen couldn't help but froze, the search and rescue team had already driven along the muddy ground to the man kneeling in front of him.

The storage box of the search and rescue team was holding a horn that was taken from Wu Xiaoqing's pickup truck at some point.

Soon, for the first time, the wild primordial planet sounded the movement that covered the majestic rain, and there were bursts of language from the loudspeaker that Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen had not heard, and the primitive people also had a slight commotion for a while, but they quickly turned into concentration, and quickly turned into joy.

After this voice message was played, all the people who knelt down stood up and looked at Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen with blazing anticipation.

"Wow!" The primitives at the front raised his axe and shouted at the two of them. Wu Xiaoqing felt Dr. Shen tremble for a moment, and immediately hid behind him, and kept looking back at the car, looking ready to escape at any time.

However, Wu Xiaoqing's rich fighting experience in junior high school made him ignorantly know that they didn't look like a declaration of war, but like some kind of cheer.

"Wow Huwa House." The crowd began to shout in unison.

"Wow Khova House, Wow Khwa House, Wow Khwa House......"

The crowd began to repeat this sound repeatedly, and at this time, Shen Changwen also felt that they were cheering and welcoming.

The two of them carefully followed the footsteps of the search and rescue team, and in front of them, the crowd automatically kept a distance from them, but the faces of those closest were full of excitement. But whenever Wu Xiaoqing looked at them, they avoided them in awe.

Wu Xiaoqing is not used to this feeling, but it is undeniable that it feels very good, and after walking for a while, he even waved at them after seeing that these people respected him very much.

On the one hand, he was curious about these strange barbarians who did not belong to the civilization of the earth, but on the other hand, he felt afraid - if these barbarians really wanted to do something to them, Shen Changwen felt that they would not live for two seconds.

"Do you know why you are worshipped?" The voice of the search and rescue team rang in my head.

Wu Xiaoqing and Shen Changwen looked at the search and rescue team at the same time, and after a short period of excitement, the two began to realize the seriousness of the problem.

"Come on, come over here."

The search and rescue team did not continue to explain, and silently led the two to the front.

The crowd that was obscuring their vision moved out of the way, and when they reached the edge of the mud, the two of them finally suddenly opened up.

Sky!

Wu Xiaoqing's first feeling was that there was a lot of water! He still remembers the flood when he was a child, when he was very young, and he only remembers climbing on the roof of his house and watching the whole village be flooded. No, the sight before him was probably much more terrifying than what he had experienced.

At most, an ordinary flood would submerge a building or two stories high, and at that time he could still look towards the heights, and everyone always ran towards those heights for refuge, maybe a small mound, maybe a building, but here, Wu Xiaoqing could clearly see the mountains in the distance, and the smoke of the beacon fire, they looked like reefs in the ocean, and they seemed to be swallowed by the sea at any time.

Obviously, the place where they are now is the high place, the highest place, and now all they can see is the dark clouds rolling in the sky, that is, the endless rolling waves under the dark clouds. The occasional flickering of electricity in the clouds occasionally illuminated the water, and then both of them could clearly see that the waters around them, many huge creatures like floating logs, were waiting silently. - It looks like a crocodile.

There is no need for other explanations, even Wu Xiaoqing has already seen it:

It was an unimaginably massive flood.

These primitive people behind him were the direct victims of this great flood.

"That's why they cheer and worship us, Wahuwa House means Star God, they treat us as gods, as saviors," the voice of the search and rescue team sounded again: "Now, are you still ready to continue?" ”

"Of course we continue!" Although Wu Xiaoqing felt tricky, his attitude of saving people was clear, "It's ......" He pointed to the dense primitive tribe crowd behind him who was eagerly watching in this direction: "Save these people, right?" ”

"It's not about saving people, it's about saving civilization, and these people may be just a part."

Wu Xiaoqing doesn't understand very well, but in his opinion, it's actually the same thing. But to Shen Changwen's ears, there is a clear difference.

"Search and rescue teams are not concerned with individuals, but with civilization. If you want to be able to help me with anything, if you think you can help me with anything, then you can start now.

Of course, this is not an obligation for you, and if you feel that you are not up to the task, this is normal and you can withdraw at any time.

Try to save and preserve as many civilized individuals as possible, and the more people survive, the more robust the entire civilization will be.

In the end, I am not interested in what means you use or how you will accomplish this goal, but there is only one requirement, which is the premise of all your actions.

One, for me, for the search and rescue team, for this civilization and planet, all this information must be kept strictly confidential. This secrecy is even more important than saving this civilization, and if you fail to do so, it is likely to have more catastrophic consequences than the destruction of this civilization.

Two, I can help you transport the earth's supplies into here, but the opposite is absolutely forbidden. It may seem to you that it would be easy to get these people back to Earth, but the consequences of doing so would be just as catastrophic.

Wu Xiaoqing's head couldn't remember so much information at once, he only remembered two things related to him, one was to save more people, the more the better, and the other was to keep it secret, and he couldn't tell others about things here.

Shen Changwen retorted: "I can understand the item of secrecy, the butterfly effect may have catastrophic consequences for the earth. The second one I can't understand, shouldn't it be that saving people is the first priority? When people are dead, where did civilization come from? As long as we keep it confidential......

"These two principles are not negotiable, Doctor, these are the rescue guidelines of the search and rescue team. If you want to save people, find a way to save them here, otherwise, I would rather sit back and watch the destruction of the entire civilization. ”

Shen Changwen subconsciously asked: "Why?" ”

The search and rescue team seemed reluctant to explain: "Doctor, answering your question itself violates this rule. I am also bound by these rules with you. You just need to understand the existence of these rules now, as for the reason for their existence...... If you can solve the problem at hand, you will have a chance to know later. ”

Shen Changwen asked the robot: "First of all, I want to understand the teleportation mechanism, is this teleportation a fixed location?" Or is it possible to set the location freely? ”

"Feel free to set it, this place is just the default teleportation location."

"Is it on Earth too?"

"Yes."

"How much time is left here? Do you know how long it will rain here? ”

"There are no meteorological satellites on this planet, so it is impossible to calculate accurately."

"That'...... Do you have any other supplies or equipment for your search and rescue team? Wu Xiaoqing told me that he saw a spaceship. ”

"The ship has long since lost power and is now ruined. The search and rescue team now, apart from me, this robot that only has the function of cleaning and garbage collection, and a mobile phone made by the earth, and nothing else. ”

"What about teleportation? Conveyor ......"

"Doctor, I know what you're thinking, I won't answer such a question."

Shen Changwen's face turned white suddenly, but he quickly recovered. After a while, he still asked reluctantly: "Then you should have some special technology for rescue, or other planets that can be used." We can build a logistics base, use your advanced technology, as a base camp for search and rescue teams, and then from Earth, or from here, replenish a certain number of people to go in......"

"There were people in the search and rescue team who had similar thoughts to you, and later, without exception, they all became some kind of political entity, and eventually got involved, and even started a war, and they also wanted to save civilization at first......

Search and rescue teams have established these rules for no reason, and each one is followed by a huge lesson. If you want to help in this way, it is not rescue, but murder, murder at the same time as you and the civilization being rescued.

I repeat, this is a search and rescue team, we only rely on our own ability to maintain the survival of civilization, failure is a common thing, it is not terrible, what is terrible is often to try to save failure by breaking principles. ”

The search and rescue team's voice paused here, as if to let them digest the amount of information just now, and then, for the third time, asked his question: "So, are you still going to continue?" ”
