Chapter 21: New Tenants in the New World
What is it like to fall from a height of 5,500 meters?
When Tang Xian thought about this, a sample of the answer had already appeared in his mind.
Laxatives, people in the air, just got off the plane, graduated from Massachusetts, 1.85 meters, served in the White House, through the present Bogu, met Putin, met Trump, too many acquaintances, related interests, hidden.
Tang Xian naturally didn't have time to write about these boring things, but he just felt more relaxed than ever.
I unconsciously began to think crankily in my head.
Because there is no hint of harm in the sea of knowledge.
Because the rain didn't cause him any discomfort.
Because the world is just as he imagined.
All rumors and claims about the source world are a conspiracy and are all false!
But soon he suffered a lot of damage.
Regardless of whether he can't die if he falls, falling from a height of more than 5,000 meters will turn into meat sauce.
The white dragon pretended not to see Tang Xian.
Who told him to kick himself down?
Tang Xian raised his middle finger at the sky, and a snapping sound came from a short time.
He was smashed into a meat sauce.
The end of the book is impossible.
Tang Xian did fall from a height of more than 5,000 meters, and could have been able to slowly descend by hooking his claws onto those abandoned buildings on the ground.
But he tried it anyway.
There was a warning from the sea of knowledge.
It's just that after a short time, Tang Xian screwed back all the misplaced joints and bones one by one.
A man who broke his muscles and bones and flesh in a few seconds, and after a few seconds, he came to life.
The white dragon in the sky circled around him. Tang Xian didn't blame Tang Plane, on the contrary, he thought it was quite funny to fall like this.
Tang Xian looked at his hands and let the wind and rain fall on him.
"I'm already a monster."
This is not self-deprecation, Tang Xian suddenly wondered, is he unable to die now, in all senses?
Damage to non-creatures can be offset by constantly stacking life and health regeneration rates.
And creatures, as long as their resistance is full, it is impossible to cause any damage to themselves at all.
And what about time?
What about poisons?
When he thought so, he wanted to die again.
Following a series of operations such as high-altitude jumping, seven days in the mining area, breaking away from the pyramid, and actively filling the stomachββ
Tang Xian thought that he could try to stew himself in an iron pot, stew poisonous mushrooms with chicken, dumplings with red stuffing on the top of the crane, stir-fried puffer fish and other things that should be delicious but can't be eaten.
Of course, the iron pot stew itself is not considered food, this is at most an entertainment project.
Tang Plane lowered the dragon's body, interrupting Tang Xian's thinking.
[It's all ruins here, where are we going?] γ
"That's a problem."
Tang Xian frowned.
Breathing in moist, clean air, he looked back.
In the hazy night, you can also see the pyramids in the distance.
Some of the views are completely different from those seen at the foot of the mountain compared to those seen from the mountainside.
Only then did Tang Xian realize that the bottom of the pyramid was deep into the earth's surface.
It's like an upside-down leech, sucking the blood of the planet.
In addition to the mineral energy, another part of the energy source of the pyramid is geothermal energy from this planet.
Feeling the temperature here, Tang Xian found that it was indeed much colder here.
It's still summer.
The heavy rain continued to fall, and Tang Xian said:
"You summoned this storm, thunder and lightning?"
[No, it's just a coincidence, just as we left the vehicle, there was a sudden thunderstorm. γ
Tang Xian nodded, remembering a statement he had seen.
It is said that the day the last human entered the pyramid was on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, which is Qixi Festival.
"Some people say that when there are no humans in this world, the world stops changing, and although time is still moving, the world has already thought that it has completed its mission, sent away, or destroyed the last civilization, and everything is defined by human beings, and the era of time defined by human beings is thus frozen. This would explain the heavy rain. β
Tang Xian raised his eyes and looked around, and found that it was like Saitama and Saiki Kusuo had fought each other.
None of the buildings are intact. The ground is also full of cracks.
It was different from the relatively intact but only barren Xianghai City that he had passed by before.
Even the vegetation here is scarce.
It should be because of the proximity to the pyramids.
[I don't understand.] What does this have to do with heavy rain? γ
Tang Plane often didn't understand what Tang Xian meant.
Tang Xian smiled:
In other words, this world is still the seventh day of July, Qixi Festival. Do you know Tanabata? Legend has it that it was a rainy festival. β
[Why does it rain a lot on Tanabata?] Even dragons know that there is no day when it rains regularly.
Tang Xian shot his hook and claw and rode onto the dragon's back. He pointed to the guide.
"Let's find a place to shelter from the rain and fly south. As for why there is a lot of rain on Tanabata, this is a rather vulgar story. β
The dragon took off, and as soon as Tang Plane's mind moved, he began to fly with Tang Xian, and the speed was extremely fast.
[What's the story?] γ
"In human legends, there is a world in the sky. The rules of time are not the same in the two worlds.
One day in heaven, one year on earth. So a lot of people are going to heaven, waiting for the author to update, waiting for the release of Ride Cut 2 or something.
And Tanabata is a story to commemorate a fairy and a strong man herding cattle.
For various reasons, they are different from immortals, the strong men who herd cattle live on the ground, and the fairies live in the sky.
They can only be seen once a year on July 7.
Once a year, when I finally see my sweetheart, how touching it is, the fairy in the sky will shed a lot of tears. And so it became rain. β
[Hmph, boring story.] Don snorted.
"Yes, people always like to talk about vulgar things very freshly. There's a big hole in this story. One day in heaven, one year on earth. But this time is the time of the world. The man who herds the cattle has been holding back for a year, and the fairy has only passed a day, she is equivalent to getting married every night, and it is too late to be happy, how can the water flowing from the sky be tears? β
Tang Plane didn't understand again, if it wasn't for the tears of the fairy, then what kind of water could these rains be?
Tang Xian didn't say that this old dragon, who had been at the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years, would not understand the majestic imagination of the ancients.
Zhenhai Canglong flies fast, faster than any flying vehicle.
After a while, Tang Xian found that the huge pyramids were no longer visible.
He flew over one rubble after another.
The integrity of these ruins is getting higher and higher, and Tang Xian seems to see that the way these ruins are destroyed is like being blown by a huge storm.
Maybe it has something to do with some of the activities of the pyramids?
In the end, it flew for a long, long time.
He and the Don plane came to a city that looked fairly intact.
Tang Xian didn't know where it was for a while, but those buildings full of plant roots looked like a good place to shelter from the rain.
Under Tang Xian's orders, Tang Plane turned into a human after the dragon body was ambushed.
Without that, its massive body would not be able to rest.
Even at night, under the lightning and thunder in the distance, you can clearly see the surroundings.
According to Tang Xian's understanding, this should be a human business street.
The tallest building is a department store. There are a few shops in the surrounding area.
There are also several office buildings, all of which look deserted.
But probably far from the pyramids, it looks pretty complete.
And judging from the buildings in the block, most of these buildings are buildings that can only be seen in some first-tier cities.
In the distance, Tang Xian found a 5G signal tower. But it's already deserted.
However, as long as a network loop is established, it may not be unusable.
Tang Xian found that this place was quite good. Due to the high degree of integrity of the buildings, as long as the parasitic plants on the outside and inside of these buildings are removed, the human civilization that has completely decayed can quickly revive a small block.
Of course, whether this work goes smoothly depends on the progress of some exploration tomorrow.
"Take shelter from the rain today, find a place to sleep, and explore the place tomorrow."
The Don aircraft had no objections.
Tang Xian walked into the residential building opposite the department store.
In the room on the second floor, the door is open.
The olfactory feedback in the snort, there have been some biological smells here.
But it's mostly some reptiles.
Taking out the looted candles from the Shuhai Wooden House, Tang Xian lit the candles.
He saw the inside of the house.
is a normal bedroom set.
But there was a thick layer of dust in the house, cobwebs, some wooden chairs, fabrics, all of which were pitted by rats.
There are also a few large cockroaches the length of the middle finger crawling around under the feet.
Tang Xian frowned and said with a wry smile:
"If those girls are here, they will definitely not be able to stand it, but Xiao Jiu may ask if the cockroaches are delicious."
Don Plane said: "I can kill them. β
"Forget it, find a way to get rid of these guests by other means. Now they're the masters here, and we're kind of outsiders. And if you do it, I'm afraid of causing a catastrophe and destroying the city I managed to find. β
Tang Xian went to a few other places. But wherever the furniture is densely piled, there will be all kinds of crawlers.
So he gave up the second floor and went to the eleventh floor.
The advantage of being at high is that there are very few creatures such as reptiles and mosquitoes.
Tang Xian found a vacant room that was only renovated but not furnished.
Creatures such as small reptiles and rats are like that, and the denser the furniture, the more suitable it is for them to survive.
Because of the height and emptiness, this floor was already habitable. These creatures are rarely seen.
He didn't bother any more, checked around with the candle flame, and after making sure that it was okay, he found a corner and squatted.
He took pen and paper out of his bag and began jotting down today's notes.
"The storm came when I arrived with the dragon, and it was all dramatic. I just unilaterally thought it was welcoming me.
Because there has to be a world where I should belong.
The vast ruins may have come from the pyramids, which resemble dormant monsters. Maybe occasionally they'll behave like creatures?
Sometimes I even think that the process of human beings entering a higher civilization is a process of self-destruction.
The levels of the pyramid are gradually activated, there are more and more mechanized things, and the role of people is less and less.
But I don't think humans are wrong. If I hadn't had these special experiences, I would have believed that the pyramids were actually the destination of the human world, just like everyone else.
After all, we are witnesses without God's perspective, and what we choose to believe is just instinct, not a deliberate decision.
The Court of Ten Thousand Beasts and the Ruins of Eden have not yet been found.
The higher levels of the pyramid have not been unlocked. It is not known whether there are secrets hidden in the vast world of mankind.
This world does not exclude humans, so were there any other humans before me?
After the Holocaust, is there really not a single human left in this world?
There are only more than 200 pyramids, and between each pyramid, there is still a lot of space, are there people living alone in these gaps?
Or even a small group of civilizations? β
Tang Xian closed his note.
Although the content of the note was a little heavy, his mood was still very happy.
The existence of spiders, reptiles, and rats shows that this world can really accommodate other things to survive.
Although the pyramids are constantly drawing geothermal energy, the growth of plants speaks volumes about the vitality of this world.
The mining world is beautiful, but also treacherous. It was the place where the Chosen One fought for glory, and no matter how much logistical assistance the people at the bottom provided, it would not be written on the heroic spectrum of mankind.
But now it's different, and they have a more suitable place to go.
However, all of this remains to be investigated, and Tang Xian is not a person who is ambitious.
He sat quietly in the corner, closed his eyes, and waited for the day to come.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
When the sun shines through the window, it's still cool.
The wind and rain have stopped, and there is a lot of water on the road after a night of heavy rain. But the air has a freshness after washing.
You can't smell it in the pyramids.
There is a big difference between day and night.
At night, the tiny creatures poke their heads out and start looking for food.
During the day, it's a time for some of the huge creatures to frolic and feed.
Tang Xian woke up quickly.
Awakened by hunger.
Don Plane was holding a mouse in his hand.
The rat is only half cut and smells burnt.
"There is growth, but I know how to roast it before eating." Tang Xian quipped.
"Do you want to eat?" The Don plane was not a generous dragon.
It's a miser, and even a rat won't share it.
But if it's for Tang Xian, it's different, because Tang Xian will make the food more delicious.
"You can eat it yourself, there are many kinds of rat dishes, and although I may not be able to eat myself now, I refuse to eat this unclean way."
Tang Xian frowned in disgust. Broke the small abacus of the Don plane.
Then the Don plane swallowed the remaining half in one gulp.
Tang Xian was very hungry, and as he said, the rats were not inedible.
But since we are living in the New World, we must solve the problem of food. Bringing food out of the mine can solve a temporary problem.
But what if there are more people in the future? To solve this problem in the long run, the most critical approach is captivity and planting.
Or hunting.
The hunting target can't just be mice, Tang Xian wants to see if he can see other animals during the day in this city.
Preferably the meat tastes good.

There is also a shift in the evening
