Chapter 3: Little Stones
None of the imaginary scenes of interrogation and questioning appeared, Yang Chuangrui did not see any so-called principals at all, he and the little boy were left in front of the stone table in the courtyard, while the rest entered the hall.
"What are they doing in there?" Yang Chuangrui suddenly spoke suspiciously.
"They go in and report to the chief,......" the little boy replied halfway before he reacted excitedly, "so you can talk!" ”
Touching his head awkwardly, Yang Chuangrui smiled: "If I say that I will listen to you and listen to it, will you believe it?" ”
"Don't believe it," the little boy shook his head and continued, "You don't look that smart. ”
The corners of Yang Chuangrui's mouth twitched, "Actually, I don't know, I seem to have suffered a head injury, and I can't remember many things." After a slight pause, he looked sideways at the boy and asked, "What will you do with me?" ”
The little boy pointed in the direction of the entrance to the town, "You can stay here like them, work for food, and support yourself on your own." ”
"They, are there a lot of outsiders here?"
"Well, it's all half-dead and rescued waste."
Yang Chuangrui choked, adjusted his emotions, and then asked:
"That means I can choose to get out of here, right?"
"Yes, you can leave if you're not afraid of dying outside."
Hearing the answer he wanted to hear, Yang Chuangrui was slightly relieved, and he didn't care about what the little boy said later.
In order to get more information, Yang Chuangrui decided to talk to this little boy more:
"My name is Yang Chuangrui, what's your name?"
"What a strange name," the little boy's tone was a little curious, and then his voice fell low and he continued weakly, "We can only choose a name for ourselves if we have proven ourselves here, I don't have a name yet, they all call me Little Stone." ”
Yang Chuangrui, who was slightly stunned, thought: "Sure enough, it's another world, and it's embarrassing to open the topic with strangers and introduce each other directly." ”
Little Stone seemed to care about the name, and his mood became a little low. The stunned Yang Chuangrui didn't know what to say next.
After being silent for a while, Yang Chuangrui continued to ask:
"By the way, I can't remember how you found me."
Hearing that it was about the outside question, Xiao Shi finally cheered up and then spoke:
"Beneath the ruins, we were looking for anything that could be used, but who knows if we turned you out."
Xiaoshi glanced at Yang Chuangrui and said in a particularly disappointed tone:
"We dug up a big iron box, we thought there would be something good in it, but who knew it was an iron coffin, and there was nothing in it except a naked man."
Yang Chuangrui found that chatting with this kid was really tiring, not only had to take care of his emotions, but also had to be ridiculed, and there was no other way.
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Shi seemed to suddenly think of something, stared at Yang Chuangrui and said solemnly:
"You were extremely weak when I saw you, and it was the captain who insisted on using the crystal to save you, and this is to be returned, you know."
Yang Chuangrui asked with a confused expression:
"And what's going on? What are crystals? ”
Xiao Shi looked at Yang Chuangrui with idiotic eyes and said:
"It's the crystal taken from the steel monster, it's very precious, don't you know?"
Yang Chuangrui pointed to his head and said helplessly:
"As I said earlier, I seem to have suffered a head injury, and I can't remember a lot of things, you tell me about the crystal, it's better to be more detailed, I really can't remember anything."
"Okay." Xiao Shi looked up at the rock wall and said solemnly: "I heard my grandfather say that when he was young, a huge ship suddenly descended from the sky, and many steel monsters came out of it, and they occupied many places, expelled all the creatures in the territory, and built a lot of strange buildings. ”
Yang Chuangrui was slightly startled, didn't he say crystal? How did it become an alien invasion! Could it be that this is a sci-fi high-tech world? Then he asked:
"And then, does this have anything to do with crystals?"
"Then when people resisted, they discovered that the steel monster would die if they lost the crystal, and then some people began to study the crystal, and they found that just by carrying the crystal on their body, they could make people stronger and healthier, and some people even had great power."
Hearing this, Yang Chuangrui was slightly puzzled, he thought of the spirit stone in the fantasy novel, is this a technological fantasy world? Are you going to start cultivating immortals?
When he returned to the earth after his cultivation, he began to make money everywhere by pretending to be forced to slap his face, and marry Bai Fumei to the pinnacle of life, thinking about the plot of these novels, I am really a little excited, hehehehe.
After calming down, Yang Chuangrui then asked:
"What happened after that?"
Little Stone took a sip of water and continued:
"After discovering the value of crystals, people want to unite and wage war against the Iron Monster in order to gain dominance of this power."
"Did you win in the end?"
"Nope." The little boy shook his head and continued:
"It was only when people launched a large-scale attack on them that they realized the horror of their opponents, and this behavior completely angered them, and they began to slaughter humans, and in half a day, these steel monsters destroyed all visible human civilizations, and then all the surviving people went into hiding."
"Human beings can do anything for the sake of profit!" Yang Chuangrui thought to himself.
"That's why you're hiding underground?"
Little Stone shook his head:
"No, before the war, all of our tribe was captured by the king to build a mausoleum, and we have been working here ever since."
The little stone looked up again at the high rock wall:
"Grandpa said that our tribe had lost eighty percent of its population in the decades before the disaster, just excavation, and the rest were old and weak, women and children, and the chaos caused by this disaster made us free again, although we could only live underground, but this is already good."
The topic ended, and the atmosphere around it became a little oppressive.
"Now do you know the value of crystals? You may not be able to afford it for the rest of your life. Xiao Shi suddenly turned his head and looked at Yang Chuangrui who was contemplating with a mocking expression.
"I'll try." Yang Chuangrui replied casually absentmindedly.
Then he got up and left the stone bench and paced back and forth in the courtyard, analyzing the information he had just heard from the little stone.
Therefore, my body has become better and my brain has become more flexible, not because I have been transformed by the god of time-traveling, but because I have absorbed the power of crystals.
It's no wonder that the humans of this world have started a war with such a powerful iron lump for the crystal, this thing is simply an elixir.
And how did I end up in an iron box? Maybe the box is weird, and it looks like I'll have to take a trip to find my ruins later.
Now I found that the only thing related to the earth is the words on the robots, since those robots are outsiders, so can I speculate that the predecessor of the time-traveler and I are not on the same continent, or not in a ball at all?
Or did this predecessor crack the alien technology and build his own mechanical legion?
How do you feel that you are getting farther and farther away from the truth? Sure enough, I still have to go out and gather information.
Thinking of this, Yang Chuangrui stopped, looked sideways at the small stone and asked:
"Little Stone, can an outsider like me join your exploration team?"
"As long as you pass the captain's test, anyone can become a member of the squad." Xiao Shi thought for a moment and then said, "If someone is willing to go with you to die, you can also set up your own exploration team. ”
Yang Chuangrui felt that it was unrealistic for him to establish a team, he was unfamiliar with life here, and he had ready-made thighs, why should he die, it was more reliable to follow those fierce men,
It's decided, join the exploration team.
"When will they come out?" Yang Chuangrui asked.
"I don't know, the chief's grandfather is very verbose, you have to ask everything clearly, just wait."
