Chapter 30: Escape
After a while, the storm subsided as if it had never been seen before, and the sky returned to its usual orange-red sky.
During this period, perhaps out of timidity, or caution, or out of emotions that even Hogu himself did not understand, it did not take the initiative to respond to the message, and the whole process was absolutely silent, like a stone.
In the short period of time from tornadoes to thunderstorms, the amount of information given to Hogu was so great that it could not be digested for a while.
Huo Gu, who came back from his stunned state, was full of shock and at the same time, he was also overwhelmed by great fear.
The reason why people fear darkness is because darkness represents the unknown, and the fear of anomalies beyond common sense is for the same reason.
In the Immortal period, the birth of 'intelligence' should be impossible, at this time the planetary environment did not form the conditions for the birth of 'intelligence', life is still in the initial stage, the birth of double-stranded DNA as the genetic material of microbacteria, in this era can be regarded as the top life form.
Huogu itself cannot be used as an example, because it is a time travel, and the source of its birth is not the stage of the Plutozoic, in order to give birth to 'intelligence', life on earth evolved from the original microorganisms to humans, which took nearly 4.6 billion years!
Things that are beyond the norm can easily lead to ideas and logic that are beyond the norm.
Alien? Atmospheric life? Same cluster thinking? Traverser? ……
"No, now is not the time to think about this, there is too little information at the moment to make an accurate judgment."
Huo Gu, who calmed down immediately, waved away the wild thoughts in his thoughts, the existence of the other party was undoubted, and the problem that Huo Gu was facing now was how to deal with this situation.
After the thunderstorm dissipated, Hogu did not receive similar information again, and the other party seemed to think that Hogu did not have the ability to communicate and chose to leave.
Of course, it is also possible to hide in the shadows, which is very high compared to the former, and biologists on Earth often do this kind of thing.
No matter what, Huo Gu can't continue to stay here, although it is a 'home' that has exhausted his efforts to do a good job, but this 'home' is being targeted by a super terrifying guy who doesn't know whether it's good or bad, who doesn't know whether it's good or bad, who can't control the wind and thunder at will.
In Hogu's impression, the guinea pigs in the laboratory on Earth have never ended well, even if they have never offended anyone.
"You have to leave, you can't hesitate, any fluke is a stumbling block!"
After waking himself up, Hogu issued a command to the titanium screw, telling it to carefully agitate the water storage chamber and gradually drift from the harbor to the outside of the harbor.
Due to the mass of the snail itself, this process is very slow, but fortunately, this kind of movement like wandering driftwood consumes negligible biological energy, and in this way, even if there is no nutrient supply, the life activity of the whole cell can be maintained.
It was easy to get around the reef that resisted the waves, and at the same time, Hogu regretted that he had built such a long reef in the first place.
The next process is much faster, riding the raging waves, with the help of this force, it will soon be possible to leave this sea.
Outside the harbor is not an unobstructed view, the herds that were still collecting organic materials are now like robots that are dying when they have disconnected their signals, motionless, half-floating and half-sinking in the water.
The presence of these hoists can provide cover for the departure of the titanium screw, during which it only needs to disguise itself as a 'robot' with the same broken wire.
The waves are chaotic, and the direction of the ocean currents can only be seen on a planetary scale.
With the passage of time, the number of individuals drifting in the vicinity of the titanium snail gradually decreased, and they were all pulled by the current, breaking away from the drifting force and going to unknown seas.
Hogu had no intention of correcting their course, for it feared that it would expose its presence.
I don't know how long I drifted like this, and Huo Gu had already broken away from the rafting force under the influence of the current, and at this time it was already quite far away from the volcanic island, and no matter how Huo Gu corrected the visual distance of the vitreous, he could no longer capture the island.
Hogu arrives in a new area of sea, and begins to use the titanium snail's vision system to observe its surroundings.
Volcanoes still exist, but they are slightly different from the cone-shaped volcanoes of the past, and are a fissure type volcano that provides a flow of material to the sea.
The shape is different, and the eruption of the smoke column is also different from what I have seen before, and the smoke column rising from the submarine volcano is stretched, like a curtain from the surface of the sea to the bottom of the sea.
Huo Gu was happy in his heart, isn't this kind of environment suitable for him to hide?
After vigilantly observing the surroundings with the visual system and confirming that there was nothing abnormal, the water storage chamber that the titanium snail had not used for a long time began to agitate, and turned his eyes into this underwater labyrinth made of volcanic smoke columns.
After entering, Huo Gu carefully slid the fins on both sides, carefully avoiding the curtain, trying not to make contact with it, there are a large number of bubbles in these submarine curtains, within the scope covered by the curtain, the buoyancy that the water can produce is similar to that in the air, as long as Huo Gu accidentally enters, it will fall into the crater in a blink of an eye, becoming a charcoal snail.
While moving cautiously, Hogu began to analyze the lava mobility of this volcanic group, if it was poorly flowable, it would be prone to eruptions, and the strong currents generated would most likely push it into the curtain, so it needed to be investigated first.
In this labyrinthine area, Hogu found a towering rock on the ocean floor, which was supposed to be formed by the rapid accumulation of lava eruptions.
With the help of its fins, the titanium snail slowly descended to the towering rock, and Huogu's nerves were loosened, and it had been tense all this time.
"By the way, what the hell is that kind of thing?"
"Is it it or are they?"
"What kind of life is it that can control natural disasters in the natural environment so freely?"
"Realistically, do you dare to be a little more reasonable? Even if you like to joke, there should be a limit, right? ”
Hogu whined a grumble that could only be heard by himself, and it needed a way to vent the pressure in his heart.
"Wait, in the other party's inquiry, it refers to 'me', not 'we', that is, it knows about my existence from the beginning, rather than seeing the cell cluster individuals as a single intelligent life......"
"Then the question is, how did the other party get this information?"
"Or is my crossing just because the other party is playing tricks?"
Hogu remembered what he had said on TV - if the time travel did happen one day, I was more inclined to think that it was a man-made event, triggered by the subjective behavior of some unknown civilization in the universe.
