16. Difficulty sleeping tonight
In fact, at that moment, whether it was a mouse or any other creature, it was her hope to live! It's all her life.
By eating rats, she regained some strength and soon found a source of water. She groped her way there to crawl. It was a dark river, a dark river deep underground, flowing quietly for hundreds of thousands of years? Or millions of years?
There were insects chirping around her, and at this moment, she suddenly thought that if she became a worm, she would end her life......
Then, under the control of strong willpower, she found a gap in escape, a little glimmer of light in the darkness, which made her instinctively go somewhere.
It was a huge shaft left by a former civilization, and the light reflected in it from the outside, faint and small, but it made Joanna extremely happy.
Because, it means that she can escape.
Hope for life!
She fumbled for the suspension ladder, and there were some makeshift building materials around it, some of which had been deformed, but it was definitely okay to climb on.
She began to climb incessantly, and when she was tired, she tied herself up and tied it firmly to the fixture.
I don't know how many days of climbing, the speed is already very slow. She looked at the little starlight almost in despair, knowing that it was close, the starlight was getting brighter, and she had almost no stamina.
Hunger is not the biggest problem, but extreme lack of water is.
A rain came like providence, and the thirsty lips touched the water.
She opened her mouth greedily, and the sweet rain and dew moistened her, this was the source of her life!
Later, she learned that this rain had not fallen on the earth for several years.
Finally, her fingers reached a cable, which was connected to the ground.
It was pitch dark outside.
But at the moment, it feels like a place of light!
She looked up at the starry sky gratefully.
The moment she stepped on the solid ground, she could barely help herself, and she burst into tears.
Yes, she is alive.
However, I don't know how many years have passed? And what era is this, what is this place?
There was a strange sight in front of me. This is no longer the land she knows, full of desolation, yellow sand obscuring the sun.
After that, she also came back, after she had become a "queen".
It took Joyna months and a lot of energy to get those "hotbeds of life" to the ground.
In addition to the completely destroyed, the remaining ones, as well as some dilapidated but seemingly intact, were also carried away by her.
……
"They're almost a pile of scrap metal." Joyna told the man.
"Oh, that's fine! Take me to see it! ”
"Yes, please come with me."
Walking through the porch, Joyna's bodyguard, Xiao Wu, followed.
The girl's appearance was very respectful, she didn't even dare to make eye contact with the "rock man", her heart was still apprehensive, and there were some inexplicable emotions.
Such a powerful man, she still had some contempt for him before, and even thought that he was just a powerful gang thug or traveler......
At the moment when Joyna completely succumbed, she was shocked!
She certainly didn't know what Joyna felt from this man.
Her confusion and doubts have always been entrenched in her mind. All she knew was that this man was anything but ordinary. No matter what kind of title, there is nothing wrong with adding it to him.
"Wait!"
The man behind Xiao Wu suddenly stopped.
"Huh?"
The man looked at Xiao Wu as if he had discovered something.
"What, what's wrong?" Xiao Wu saw his peculiar eyes and stared at her directly, which made her a little embarrassed.
She asked, and the man's eyes seemed to tell her - what was strange about her?
"Hehe, I didn't expect it, tsk, it's rare."
The man stared at Xiao Wu, and then slowly grabbed Xiao Wu's shoulder.
Her body began to tremble slightly.
What is he going to do?
"Ahh
Xiao Wu was shocked, what did he want to do to me?
Soon, the man's fingers moved as if by magic.
Fluorescent flashes.
The tremors intensified, and her body felt as if she had an electric shock, and her body was heating up.
"Buzz, buzz!"
A small point of light like a firefly slowly jumped up from between the man's fingers, turning from yellow to blue and white in an instant.
"Ah, what is this?"
"Reiki".
"I materialized it so you could see it too."
The man's hand stroked Xiao Wu's shoulder again.
Joyna and Xiao Wu both looked at the small dot of light in surprise and disappeared.
"Hehe, it seems so, that's right." Iwashi said.
"Are you a descendant of their race? Xiao Wu, you didn't notice it yourself, is there anything different about you? ”
“……”
What does that mean?
She couldn't understand what he was talking about.
I could only widen my eyes.
"Okay, let me explain it briefly."
The man leaned against a pillar.
"In the long history of this earth, there have been some powerful aborigines. Human genes are mixed with their genes. Ordinary people are completely unaware of this. But it's a long story, and I can't explain it to you right now. ”
The things he said had already been revealed.
On the earth, there are often some people who will show a side that is far beyond ordinary people. These abilities were previously collectively referred to as anomalies, or something like that.
People don't know, why do these people have these powers?
However, later generations, through research, it was found that these people were indeed different from normal people in the biomagnetic field of the body and some other places.
It's just that their technology is not so developed, and they don't know why these people are like this.
"That's it, their ancestors' genes are at work."
Both women were surprised, they didn't know what the man meant.
……
"Hey, forget it, I'll explain it a little bit."
The man saw their bewildered looks.
"Generally speaking, there was a certain race on the earth, and the time, probably millions of years ago. They used to be all over the continent, long before the birth of human beings, they were the first to be longitudinal, modified creatures, and their genes contained some ...... Something unnatural. ”
The two women looked at each other.
A puzzled look.
"It's like a fire that is lit and needs fuel, and those people — that's the fuel! They can light the fire of life, and they can control it......"
The man turned his head thoughtfully, thinking about something.
They stood still, pondering what those words meant.
……
Really?
What a ridiculous thing this is. Long before the birth of man? What kind of creature is that, could it be a dinosaur?
What is the descendant of this race he is talking about, could it be that Xiao Wu is a descendant of dinosaurs? This is simply ridiculous.
Both the queen and Xiao Wu were thinking about those words at the same time, perhaps thinking of dinosaurs...... They looked at each other suddenly, and then they both shook their heads and laughed inexplicably.
But how did he know?
Is this a joke?
This cold-faced man.
Like a joke?
However, both of them felt that something was impossible.
They had no clue at all when they were cranky, but when they looked at the "rock man", they were still so calm, and they didn't look like they were joking at all.
Also, that little blue and white dot, what is that?
They watched the light rise from Xiao Wu's body.
This man knows too many secrets and seems to be hiding a lot of unknown truths.
"You mean, I'm of a certain race? That...... Are there any other people like this? Where are they? ”
"Of course, as I said, there are many more people, and that's their hidden genes, which also leads to ......"
The man suddenly stopped talking.
"Also, what is that light? Why was I completely unaware of the ...... in my body before I want to know! ”
There are so many questions.
……
The man didn't speak, perhaps because he didn't bother to explain.
Xiao Wu was eager to find out if those things affected her about herself, and she was waiting for the rock to explain.
It seems that if she doesn't figure it out, she will have trouble sleeping tonight.
