83. The loneliness of being alive

At the moment when both sides were in close proximity, the split body that crossed the Bailing Strait was still trudging the snowfield.

The snow and ice are not thick enough, which makes it more difficult to walk, and it is often necessary to ski for a while and have to hike.

The uneven rocky beaches were exposed, the snow was not enough to cover them, and there were no supplies to fly over with jets.

Fortunately, it is a bionic body, and there is no worry about survival, otherwise this journey would really not be able to bear.

It's not all bad, surprises come unexpectedly.

Yesterday, according to the topographic map scanned by Golden Eye, he found that there was a track of human activity nearby, which was only a short distance of 600 kilometers away from him.

When did 600 kilometers become macro?

It took him a day and a night to finally get close to the little spot on the map that was smaller than a mosquito.

When the distance was shortened to a negligible twenty kilometers, Mejerin could already "see" them on the radar.

These traces are left by the Icefield people, who are known as the lonely-loving people, and there is a settlement of theirs nearby.

Mei Zheren has already found them through infrared detection.

Why do silicon-based people tolerate their existence? This is very unreasonable.

This is also the reason why Mei Zheren tried to find them after discovering the traces, and there must be a story in it.

Encountering a story on such a lonely ice field, which must be discovered, Mei Zheren walked into the settlement of the ice people.

Even a simple dozen ice cellars were no longer dug under the snow layer, but directly built on the flat ground, and in order to prevent the wind, an ice wall was built around the ice cellars.

The people of the ice plains, who loved death and loneliness, are now afraid of loneliness.

When they saw Mei Zheren, they expressed their joy with a look of excitement that glowed green.

When Mei Zheren blurted out the ice language to greet the people, he was greeted by the whole village.

In fact, there are not many, there are only about a dozen people left.

He was invited into the ice cellar, baked on the fire, had hot water and sashimi, and met the village elder, an old man who was nearly 100 years old, Daddy Taguk.

Although this father is still a little tender in Mei Zheren's eyes, who made him have a tender face, so he followed everyone to call him, respecting people one foot and being one foot wider.

Of course, Mei Zheren's ability to blurt out the Ice Plains language also made the villagers feel very cordial, which is rare, especially the Ice Plains people who are still so "tender".

Yes, in the eyes of these Ice Plains people, Mei Zheren is a tender baby.

At the moment, the youngest person in the village is Aunt Warir, who is already in her fifties, so the arrival of Mei Zheren has brought them a youthful atmosphere.

In addition, Mei Zheren's face is not much different from that of the Ice Plains, they are all yellow faces, and he speaks a pure Ice Plains language, almost no one doubts his origins.

You must know that the Ice Plains people are very fond of children, as long as it is a child among the Ice Plains people, no matter who gave birth to it, the whole village and the whole clan will raise it.

It's not just a matter of feeding some food, but taking it back as your own child to take care of.

Therefore, the people of the ice field grew up eating hundreds of family meals, and there are many parents who are not a matter, and children are sacred here.

Now Mei Zheren has become such a "child".

The "child" is still young, and he can say anything straightforwardly, Tong Yan is unscrupulous, and Mei Zheren did the same.

He directly asked Taguk's father, where did the young people in the village go?

Daddy Tagk shook his gray beard and eyebrows, rubbing the sleeves of his fur coat, and didn't know where to start.

The originally cheerful atmosphere cooled down instantly, and some old people still wiped their red eyes with Qi Rong.

In the end, it was the most knowledgeable Tagk Daddy who controlled his emotions first, and he rubbed his face until it was red, as if he was drunk.

"The children could not bear the desolation and loneliness of the snowy fields, and went to the south, and they abandoned the gods of nature, and the gods gave up on them."

Daddy Tagk opened his mouth, and the words became smooth.

"I can see how your hometown is going, child, you are from the west."

Mei Zheren's emotions don't need to be pretended, and they will be on the face immediately.

"It's all occupied by the robots, and the villagers have been captured by the robots, and I followed my brother to hide in Xiongluo's underground base, and now I'm grown up and want to find my relatives."

Mei Zheren did not tell the truth, and well-intentioned panic is also a kind of protection that is beneficial to both parties.

Daddy Taguk immediately asked, "Where's your brother?" It seems that you don't know the rules of survival in the snowfield, didn't he teach you? ”

"My brother died, when I was six years old, from a robot bombardment."

Mei Zheren's statement was as light as a glass of boiled water, but this blandness made Aunt Warir tearful again, and she lost her decorated whiteness, which was really miserable.

She took Mei Zheren into her arms, and whispered while sobbing: "It's all over the child, Aunt Warir is your relative from today onwards, and my Hu Du was as big as you when he left the snowfield." ”

Daddy Tagk gently touched Mei Zheren's head and sighed.

"No wonder you can speak the language of the ice plains but you don't know the way of the ice plains, kid, you shouldn't have come, it's good that you ran into us, otherwise you would have been caught by the robots."

"The Way of the Icefields? What is it? Does it have anything to do with the gods of nature? By the way, I was just trying to ask Daddy why you can dodge the robots. ”

Daddy Tagk hesitated, his heart softened again when he saw Varier's pleading gaze.

Anyway, the way of the ice field is not a big secret to the ice people, and it can be regarded as leaving a glimmer of hope for the ice people to be able to escape the catastrophe for the ice people.

Hopefully, there is still hope, the gods of nature must be watching the Ice Plains in the aurora, otherwise they will not be able to escape the robot's search.

Tagk and the others are old, whether they can let the Iceplain people continue depends on the child in front of them, maybe this is the hope that the god of nature has given to the Iceplains.

Taguk, who had figured it out, became serious and looked at Mei Zheren with a straight face.

"The Way of the Icefields is an oracle given to the people of the Icefields by the God of Nature, which allows us to blend in with nature without fear of the cold, wind and frost."

Mei Zheren listened like a cloud, what does this have to do with avoiding the silicon-based people a dime?

Daddy Taguk didn't have it, and taught him the way of the icefield.

"Close your eyes, sing with me, and imagine that you are thrown into the arms of nature and that you are a piece of ice."

Then an ethereal murmur wafted out of Daddy Tagk's mouth, and as he sang, all the villagers, including Aunt Warir, who had just wiped away her tears, joined in.

Mei Zheren did the same, but he cheated.

He passed this chant to the physical body, and in full view of the public, the physical body recited the incantation (so was the case with the members of the Sky Brigade).

Fortunately, there is quantum communication, fortunately there is true qi in the body, and fortunately, Mei Zheren has a large number of research and detection methods and a whole scientific research team, otherwise he would have worn it today.

This chant is very simple, to the effect that I am in a good mood, I am calm, I am fluttering, I am like a cloud, my whole body is transparent, I am natural, I am still as moving.

In fact, it's similar to constantly saying "You can't see me".

But it has a function, and the tones of the chant are connected together, which is similar to the rhyme and melody that Mei Zheren enlightened.

It does not stimulate true qi, but it can make people's brain waves become extremely peaceful, hidden in all kinds of clutter in nature, and it is extremely harmonious.

The physical body is obviously in front of everyone's eyes, but it seems that it has suddenly lost its existence, ethereal as a fairy.

At this time, at the Xiyuan base, Mei Nianbi cheered: "Grandpa, your electromagnetic signal is almost gone. ”

Mei Zheren shook his head: "It's not that it's gone, but I found a new way to tune it from the chanting of the Ice Plains people, and the lost electromagnetic signals are hidden in all kinds of clutter and become undetectable." ”

The reason why Mei Nianbi was caught was because she arrived at the Xiyuan base, Li Hengwang was in slow motion over there, and Mei Nianbi was idle.

In line with the parental mentality of not allowing her great-granddaughter to be idle all day long, Mei Zheren found her something to do and asked her to study Jinyan's communication application.

Now I happened to bump into the "invisibility spell", Mei Nianbi has equipment here, and the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, so let's pave some way for my children.

But the fertilizer water wanted to flow out, Mei Nianbi sorted out the experimental data, and looked at Mei Zheren with pleading eyes.

"Grandpa, can you teach this kind of exercise to Brother Xuezu?"

I can't stop it, stay and stay and stay as an enemy! Forget it, just take it as a dowry.

Thinking about it, Mei Zheren also nodded: "You can teach, and promote it after verification, the keyboard warrior has mastered this skill, which can greatly improve security during combat." ”

Cheng Danxin also belongs to the category that is not too busy, he has been relatively idle recently, because the work was rushed by a subordinate to finish it, so he was pulled by Mei Zheren as a staff officer again.

"I feel like it's going to reduce concentration, it's a bit of a stealth, well, it's like a ninja."

"It's not like it, it's like a ninja, it's the same origin as the so-called ninjutsu, they are all descendants of Yin Shang, and the methods are naturally the same."

"Descendants of Yin Shang, why do you say that?"

"In order to pursue those mysterious forces in virtual time and space, I have conducted investigations in Nipan and Yangzhou, and I want to know whether the cultural source of Yangzhou and Nipan is Xinghua."

"Is there a catch?"

"A little, the cultural source of Nipan is not the Qin Dynasty, but earlier, the navigation was more developed during the Yin Shang period, they found the warm ocean current, and the road followed the Nipan, the Aleutian Islands, and the Bailing Strait to Yangzhou."

"Doesn't it mean that the source of the metallurgical process is different?"

"That's a misunderstanding, Xia's copper smelting process only came to Shang after Yin Shang defeated Xia, and the merchants who went to sea to explore the way were even earlier than this time."

"Not the batch of the Northern Expedition to Dongyi?"

"No, the evidence I found today shows that that group should have become the Ice Plains later, and their witch chanting is the same as that of the late Shang period."

Cheng Dan suddenly realized, let out an "oh", suddenly remembered the Pangu plan, and asked Mei Zheren's opinion.

"Do you want the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences to carry out research in this area?"

"That's why I'm talking to you about these things, I think the study of ancient culture not only can't be put down, but also has to be grasped, and it is best to use the means of data mining, just relying on archaeological ideas is too limited, we should pick up all the clues."

Cheng Danxin nodded and said: "There are indeed too many things in it that can inspire thinking, although it looks illogical and like a myth and legend, but it can confirm some things that we never dared to think about from the side." ”

Mei Zheren also asked a phenomenon on the ice field that he felt was illogical: "Why do the young people on the ice field know that there is such a method but do not use it?" ”

Daddy Tagk shook his head bitterly: "They can't bear to be lonely. ”
