Chapter 5 One step at a time
Du Heng said: "Quick, go and hide in the green Kangzai!" ”
The 'Lost Box' quickly flew towards the nearest 'Kang Tsai', probably because of the load, the 'Lost Box' could not move faster than the black vortex to catch up, and we were about to be submerged in black, a force, a huge force 'bang', brought us into the green 'Kang Tsai' room, and fell heavily to the ground.
It was the 'Lost Box' that threw us in with the last bit of its strength.
There was still an earthquake outside, because of the regular sway of the earthquake, the two of us who were thrown to the ground were lying on our stomachs, sliding from this side of the house to that side, and then from that side to this side, seeing that I was about to be knocked into the corner, suddenly Du Heng grabbed his arm, he grabbed me tightly with one hand, and grabbed the leg of a chair fixed in the ground in the room with the other hand.
Outside the house, there was still a loud 'boom' sound, like flying sand and rocks, and like a loud sound when some huge mechanical device was activated.
I was terrified more than when I first woke up, and I grasped the balance with one hand, and groped for an object on the ground with the other.
Frightened, I began to have a headache again, and the scene of the cruise ship flashed again: someone was carrying bags containing things into the sea, there were many, many piled up on the deck, shouts, selfish cries, people of all colors walked from the cabin to the deck, trying to get closer to the side of the ship, and were fenced at a relative distance by a group of people, "Lingwei! Memories flash in an instant.
The pain was so severe that the hand that was holding the balance was unconscious.
I don't know how long it took me to wake up. The magnitude of the earthquake seems to have slowed down and slowly stopped.
"Hold on to me, cheer up! Lingwei! "It's Duheng's voice" Don't recall, it's easy to faint when you recall. I said that every once in a while there will be a magnitude 7 earthquake" Du Heng said loudly to me in a loud amplified voice: "Don't be afraid, it will be over in a while"
When I opened my eyes, I saw Du Heng, who was holding my arm tightly, lying with me in the middle of the huge room, the whirlpool of stairs pushed to the top, but the zenith could not be seen at a glance.
"Where's the Lost Box? It's going to be fine, right? "I'm worried about the little box.
"I don't know, you fainted just now" Du Heng said with a slightly relaxed expression, "Wait for the earthquake to pass, look for it." ”
I searched the room and seemed to see it, only it was stuck between the leg of the table and a trash can, and the light on the outside was intermittent.
"I see it, it's over there, but why doesn't it glow? Duheng, the little box won't die, right? Hurry up and save it. "Eagerly like I sat up, although this little thing has always been lukewarm to me, but just now it was obviously sacrificing its life to save me.
Du Heng grabbed me and said, "He is a man of steel, there shouldn't be a big deal, you wait." He got up and walked over, carefully picked up the 'Lost Box' and put it on the table, carefully examined its whole body, and said to himself: "Hey, brother, I am a master doctor but I can't cure your scientific and technological disease, and there are no external injuries after checking." ”
I got up and walked over, looked at the fainting 'lost' and said to Du Heng anxiously, "If this place is really the year 2520 as you said, why did they choose the two of us?" A master of Chinese medicine and acupuncture, a master of medicinal diet, it is obvious that in this world of technology, we are 100% imbeciles! There is no place for any skill. “
Du Heng comforted me, "Perhaps, they want to keep the seeds of humanity."
"If we want to keep the seeds, we should also keep the strong athletes, and we can't fully represent the human genes."
"Well, you're not right about that. In terms of handsomeness and beauty, I am not inferior to athletes, and in terms of human intelligence, the greatest and most ancient medical technology - Chinese medicine, acupuncture, can be regarded as a half-immortal if it can be learned. Du Heng looked at me disdainfully and said, "As for you?" It's skinny, and it's good-looking..."
"I warn you! Miss Ben is a food expert! There are no beautiful women and handsome guys who don't fall under my nutritional conditioning. Thin! That's health. "Angry, I threw him a face, but seriously, I didn't know what I looked like since I woke up in the cave, because—I forgot. Since he said it was ugly, he could only admit it.
"It's a pity...... I don't have any ingredients for you to put on a show! ”
"Is there a patient here to treat you?" I gave him a blank look and said.
"Yes, aren't you?" Du Heng took out his acupuncture bag and made a gesture to prick me.
"Thank you, your acupuncture can't be cosmetic, leave the medicine to yourself!" I reached out and touched the 'Lost Box' and said, "I just heard from the little box that the food over there can last up to five years, so we can't eat here and wait for death, we have to find a way to get out of here and find humans." You're here to take care of the little box, and I'll go upstairs and clean up and see if I can find some clues. ”
Ignoring Duheng, I began to fumble around the room where I might need to hide for five years. It is an interior built according to the appearance of the prototype, with all the rooms revolving around the atrium of the ring to the last room at the top. In other words, if you stand on the ring corridor on the top floor, it should be spectacular.
Just as he was about to ascend the stairs, Du Heng's anxious and serious voice came.
"Lingwei! Don't go up," Du Heng shouted.
"Why? Have you ever been there? I asked him curiously.
"I tried to go up several times before, but I was stopped by the small box"
"Really? Do you know why? "He aroused my infinite curiosity, only on the second floor, what kind of secrets will there be?
"I don't know why!"
"Then you're not going to sneak in, are you?"
"I know everything about the small box, every time I want to steal it, he ruthlessly stops it" Du Heng revealed a helpless expression, I could see that he was just as curious as me, "You saw it just now, it can easily lift the two of us, where can I beat it by myself." ”
"Did you ask him? Why not let? ”
"I asked, every time I asked, it flashed those words [I'm lost]"
"Then it's even weirder"
This is obviously a place for human habitation, and the Lost Box is a technological device, if it is only a thing in the human world, it has no reason to do so, and there must be a secret on it that it wants to protect. It really makes me curious. "Then do you want to go up and have a look while it's resting?" I, who am curious and kill the cat, will not die with a thief's heart. "Maybe there's everything we want to know!"
Du Heng hesitated a little and said, "Okay!" When I put the box in a safe place, I'll go with you. ”
Du Heng cautiously seemed to be afraid of disturbing the 'Lost Box' and placed it in a place where it would not be bumpy and tumble even if there was another earthquake, and he also took his acupuncture bag by the way.
"If you're done, go up and have a look, and come down right away"
"No problem"
Du Heng walked in front of me and said, "I'll go ahead, no matter what, I have a weapon, and I can save your life if I am in danger." ”
"You call that a weapon, too? At most, it's a hidden weapon! Ha ha. I joked with a smile that I thought he was a little nervous and wanted to defuse the atmosphere.
Du Heng stood in front of me, looked up for a few minutes, and fumbled on the armrest for a while.
"Let's go, what are you doing?"
"Don't move, look up, do you see that this scene is familiar?" As he spoke, he raised his feet and walked up the last step.
We walked together, one after the other.
When we entered the second floor of the steps at the same time, a strange feeling suddenly hit, because, we actually flew up lightly, the surrounding scenery instantly changed into a black night, and there were stars, I was very scared, reached out to grab the front of Du Heng, but a hand was like a void, did not grasp, Du Heng turned around and wanted to grab my hand, the same can not be grasped, I was surprised to find that the other party is translucent when I look at the pair.
"Duheng, what's wrong with us?"
"I don't know, maybe this is what people call the fourth dimension?" Du Heng looked up at the night sky and muttered.
"Ah, are we out of body?"
He looked around, "I read a book before about the description of life as having 36 spatial dimensions, if it is true, we should be able to find another us in this space. ”
"Maybe that's why the little box won't let us come here, maybe one hour here is equal to one year on earth" In any case, I have heard of the theory that there are 10 years in heaven and 10 years on earth.
Du Heng said excitedly: "If the island we are on does not belong to the earth, then the situation will be different" Du Heng stabilized his emotions and said: "First find a way to get out of here, walk, do you remember the path when you came up?" ”
"Do you mean the approximate path you saw when you just stood on the stairs?"
"Yes, I think that although the scenery we feel has changed, in fact, our physical bodies should still be in place, as long as we don't wander around, until we reach the edge of the corridor, our physical bodies will not move, as long as we walk along the previous path to the top room, we should be able to find the way we came. Follow me, I've been carefully observed before coming up, and I shouldn't be wrong. ”
Because we couldn't support us, we walked one after the other, relying on our memory, along the approximate path of the circular corridor, and as we walked, the night changed in an instant. Suddenly there was a scorching sun shining on us in the sky, and the feet became a vast desert, we don't know how many kilometers we walked, it was too hot, so hot that people couldn't stand it, I fell to the ground and wanted to rest for a while, Du Heng came over and squatted down and said to me: "Ling Wei, hold on a little longer, I know you are tired, but if the space will change, it should change with the speed of our travel, and every time we walk, we will change an environment." He pointed in one direction and said, "If I remember correctly, that direction would have been the topmost room we saw." ”
I don't know if what he said would work, but he did observe more carefully than I did when he first came up. According to my feelings, if this is really a desert, why do we walk for so long and not feel thirsty?
"Okay, I'll get up, you pull me" Du Heng smiled and reached out to pull, illusory, I forgot for a while, he couldn't pull it.
I said, "What do you say we have done in our previous years?" I was punished in this life and became two unjust souls? Haha"
"Where, maybe the two of us saved the earth in our last life and were rewarded with out-of-body souls, which is not something that anyone can experience."
Hot! Hot to dizziness...... Suddenly, a vague black shadow appeared in the distance.
