Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Ring of Excitement
"Bell, what kind of siren is this, the robot is not going to explode, is it? Come back quickly. The sound of electricity was annihilated by the cacophony of sirens.
"Stupid, no matter how big the robot is, it won't be like this even if it explodes." Shock jumped to the side of the bell and the robot.
"Bell, the robot is intact, and it didn't send this alarm." Zhen said almost in a shouting voice.
"Yes, it's the sound coming from the warning sign on the main road around the heights. It's a chain reaction caused by the lava eruption just now. ”
"Damn, ring high this is exciting. Don't scream, your ears will be deafening if you call it again. "Electricity also came and said.
The abrupt sound of the alarm came and went cleanly, and it stopped in seconds. The aftermath was still in the eardrums, and there was silence on the lava mountain. From the ring high, there was a faint announcement. It's too far away to hear anything.
I don't know when the red light of the lava mountain is gone, and the reddish-brown lava mountain retreats a few steps out of thin air, still standing under the blue sky and white clouds, guarding the ring high jade belt. The silver ring is high, and the reddish-brown lava mountain complements each other. A picture scroll unfolded between heaven and earth.
"Zhong, it's impossible to get back on the road now, how do we go?"
"Let's walk around the lava mountain. It's best to go back with the tree and a few of them. ”
"It's okay, look at this situation, everywhere is the ruins of the city, it's really nothing to see."
"I don't know how long it will take to wait for the lava to cool down, and the probability of being able to farm in the future is also a harvest."
"Who knows, in addition to dust and volcanic ash here, it will take another hundred years to really farm. We can't catch up in our lifetime. ”
"In my pessimistic heart, didn't Lei and Joan both live more than 100 years old, and now as long as you want, longevity is a matter of replacing a few parts."
"Yes, after this catastrophe, there are fewer human beings on the earth, and the need to live for a long time is even more advocated."
"Yes, anyway, it doesn't change the quality of life because of old age. What has changed is only the state of mind of the person. ”
"Well, just use my 100-year-old mentality to look at the future of farming, I think it won't take a hundred years, the ring has been running for more than 100 years, and the ruins have been decades, and the soil here has changed without human intervention, maybe it will be faster than human recovery, and it is not surprising if you see the small seedlings growing from somewhere."
"Electricity, when you are 100 years old, it will be a few decades, and of course there will be large tracts of land that can bring good news to mankind. It's not optimistic right now, let's wait until we go back and see the results of the three-person team. ”
"Hey, I heard that they brought back a dog kingdom from Shui, what the hell is going on?"
"They encountered the dogs, and they were kind enough to give them something to eat, and the dogs came back. More than 100 dogs, isn't it a dog kingdom? ”
"Zhong, I originally thought that there were only humans on this earth, but I didn't expect dogs to survive. It is necessary to eat, and in the future, we will fatten up, and we can also improve the food and eat some meat. ”
"Trees, but you can kill us this kind of thought, animals and humans should be friends, coexist on the earth. Many of the germs mutated by diseases and plagues hundreds of years ago came from the revenge of animals for the indiscriminate killing and eating of humans. For this reason, human beings have been reduced by a few percent, and no one counts in their hearts. The painful lessons of history cannot be healed, and the scars are forgotten and the pain is repeated. ”
"Zhong, why are you so serious, I'm just telling jokes, if you want to eat meat, it's better to eat metal bugs, which can be regarded as reducing the burden on Huangao and benefiting mankind."
"Disgusting, hey, it's all metal bugs in front of you. This time there is something for you to eat, but you can eat enough. ”
A few people walked along the lava mountain and chatted, in addition to the dust of the ruins, they also saw some lava deposits, all of which were small mounds, all of which were caused by early lava eruptions, and there were really occasional batches of metal bugs on them. The tree was excited, jumping over to pick up food, only to see the others disgusted.
"We are all mutated, why is he the only one who can't change his heart of eating insects. It's disgusting to watch. ”
"Let him be, he eats a lot, and several of us can't eat him, and there are no adverse reactions anyway. We don't know what the future will be like for the mutated body. It's better to be alive than anything else. ”
"Well, Zhong is right, I just want to eat insects, and save some food for all of you, maybe in the future we will all have to rely on metal bugs to keep us alive." The tree was full of food and came back with a full body of liquid.
"Rest, it's dark again. Fortunately, the lava eruption caused the temperature to rise, and the night was not very difficult. ”
Seven people fell asleep next to each other, and the robot turned off the power, ending the day's work with a few humans in the bright moonlight. The empty ruins were terrifyingly silent, but the surviving humans were accustomed to such tranquility. In human society, it is also so empty and quiet, one person lives in a building, and a dozen families are a city. When I walked out, I couldn't see many children in the school, and I saw the figure of wearing a helmet and intelligent positioning while walking and learning. There are very few people in the office building who are idle to chat, and there are almost no human beings who can be seen every day, except for work, which is to take various means of transportation back to their own world and continue to be lonely. People are accustomed to silence and loneliness, to being a living creature in a building, everything in a city, and a human life. In fact, human beings are almost like insects, with the same travel trajectory, the same living environment, the same mentality, and the same earth.
The sun rises and sets on a sunny day. The reddish-brown lava mountain stood out in front of the eyes. Although it is a few miles away, it has become a landmark like that. The open field surrounds the tall lava mountain, and small mound-like lava accumulations can be seen. What I saw yesterday evening was the metal bugs that came out of it, and most of them were eaten by the trees. After eating instant food and solid water, a few people continued to investigate the geological soil around the lava.
"Hey, tree, how do you see that there are bugs in the ruins over there? Another new species of life? ”
"It's not like a bug, don't move, die."
"The dead and the alive all went over to see, how did they look at the clumps. Still with tentacles next to it? Bell, it can't be a ruin bug, right? ”
"Old earth, even if life can be derived from the ruins, it is a single-celled animal, how can it be a metal bug."
"It's good not to be a germ or virus, as for the living things, the more the merrier, the earth is too lonely and lonely." A few people guessed and walked there.
"Hey, hey, how oily is this underground, and it's sticky feet. It's not like any other ruin. ”
"Where is different, I must say that it is different, that is, the temperature here is high, and it is close to lava, and there is nothing different else."
"Maybe it's different from other places more than 100 years ago. Hey, it's a barren grass, right? It's not a bug animal. ”
A few people finally came to the front of the ruins, and saw the clumps of things. I couldn't help but be blown away by the huge surprise. It was a clump of brown weeds, and the grass had a faint green color, as if it had inlaid a green lace on the grass. In the middle of the clumps of wild grass are small seedlings that sprout out of the cold winds of winter. The grass seedlings are a deep black-green color, and there is no doubt that in a few years, the grass will be completely green.
"What's the situation, is this grass?"
"Even if it's grass, how can it grow in the winter?"
"Whatever it is, no matter what season they grow, this is the plant of the earth that we hear and see. Plants that have been extinct for more than 100 years. ”
"Oh my God, they're still so slender, can you touch them?"
"Don't touch them, it's something to take care of. It is as much a feat as the ring height ahead of its time. The earth is great and strong, but it has been reborn and resurrected in more than a hundred years. ”
"It's okay not to die in the first place. If there is artificial intervention here, it is not very difficult to cultivate grain and vegetables. ”
"Stop! Humans may only destroy and destroy, and if it were not for humans, plants would not have been extinct for more than 100 years. ”
"Nor can the role of human beings be completely erased, there were too many people at that time. They all open their mouths and wait to fill their stomachs, so they can only continue to expand the yield and shorten the maturity period. This is also the label of the times, who knows that plants also have tempers, and blind intervention will harm human beings in the end. ”
"Yes, things that go against the laws of nature end up with no good results. What kind of wild grass is this? ”
"Who knows, I'm afraid it's also unique to lava geology, just like those metal bugs, there is no record in history, and in the end they all became a mystery."
"In the past, there was no writing, and there was no record. But now that we have the written word, we still don't have the ability to record these initial evolutions. The earth is being reborn, and we are witnesses, but we are not able to pass on these changes, which is a sad thing to think about. ”
"These grasses are the same color as lava, and then they turn green, which will take many years of evolution and reproduction. I remember that the plants in the great desert of a long, long time ago lived without water. It was the death zone of humanity, and these reddish-brown weeds were oases in lava conditions, the hope for the future of the planet. ”
"The future is our generation, or our children and grandchildren's generation, or how many generations are far away."
"I was emotional, go ahead and see, how many more such situations are there?"
"If you don't look at it, a seedling is also hope, and a seedling will not be far away. It's better to bring some soil back and give them water to study, after all, they are the ones who are specialized in this area. ”
"Zhong, you have a good idea, there is not much food in the backpack, it just happens to be conditional, and I am not used to it when this back is empty."
Several people chattered and sighed, and they were busy filling their backpacks with the oily and sticky dust here.
