In the dark, Qiu Yu accurately patted Coulomb on the shoulder, "You can still have such observations and perceptions, which completely impresses me." ”

Jack pouted, "He doesn't know any of this, it's all from the scientist who gave you the coin." ”

"It's great to remember that, because a lot of people hear a lot of important things in one body, but most of them don't pay attention to them. So people who know what is worth remembering for themselves, and do remember something correctly, are themselves worthy of admiration. Qiu Yu lowered the corner of the tent, and the noisy voice weakened slightly, "By the way, you scientist is a person worthy of my memory, can you tell me his name?" ”

In the dark, Jack and Coulomb didn't say anything for a long time, and after Qiu Yu, who was afraid that they didn't hear clearly, repeated it loudly again, Coulomb said slowly, "He, they're called scientists." ”

Autumn Feather "......"

"That's right." "A lot of people have asked for their names, but the answer is always like this – it's not our names that need to be remembered, it's who we are as scientists," Jack explains. When one day, human beings can live happily on this planet with our efforts, we will give our descendants not a long list of awkward names, but scientists and science. ”

"Is that so...... Sleeped......"

Although having said that, Qiu Yu did not fall asleep until dawn.

When Qiu Yu opened his eyes, Coulomb and Jack, who were afraid that their food would deteriorate due to the heat, had already finished the rest of yesterday's meal and were discussing whether to wake themselves up.

The journey under the scorching sun resumes.

Because of the communication with the two of them and the stay in the settlement, yesterday's walk was actually only a small half day in the afternoon, and today, feeling the gradual increase in the temperature of the sun, Qiu Yu's fragile body showed obvious weakness after walking for less than three hours. Although his bag had been handed over to Jacka, he was already in a hurry empty-handed. But the failure of the communicator's continued call, coupled with the fantasy that someone else might be able to solve the problem this time, gradually made Qiu Yu feel that maybe it would be a good idea to stay in the settlement and wait for victory. After all, whether it is Nine-Tails or Li Ningfeng, they are more suitable than themselves to find things in such an environment, not to mention the finale Qiu Yan.

Once the idea of cowardice is formed in his mind, people will keep looking for all kinds of reasons and excuses for their cowardice, especially Qiu Yu, no matter how many such excuses he has to find for himself, it will be easy for him. After thinking in detail about the second-layer under the leadership of Sima Tianzhi and the third-layer power that can play a role, Qiu Yu has almost convinced himself that there is no need to embarrass himself too much.

In the end, there are only a few stories left about giving up halfway and not having a good result, which has become a fragile line of defense to support Qiu Yu from retreating.

Another half an hour later, the sound of something collapsing in Qiu Yu's head came from the sound, "I think, we should ......"

"Hide."

Qiu Yu's words were interrupted by the low shouts of Cullen, who was walking in front, and his reaction was a little slower before he was pushed to the ground by Jack.

The gravel on the ground was as hot as a furnace, and Qiu Yu instinctively wanted to stand up, but Jack's strength was greater than he imagined, and a struggle caused Jack's strength to backlash, and the contact between his body and the hot stone became more intimate.

Qiu Yu frowned and looked at Jack, this man who was rarely afraid was actually a little trembling, and his whole body was tense like a bowstring about to break because of the tension of the transition. And the force that he couldn't resist just now seemed to be caused by the instantaneous secretion of his adrenal hormones.

It's hard to imagine what could have scared him to this extent. For things that don't need to bother with brains, Qiu Yu has always been undetoured. The gaze followed the direction Jack was looking.

There was an RV two hundred meters away, and all the wheels on the car were gone, so the car was stuck to the ground at the bottom. Most of the paint on the body has fallen off, and the contact with the ground has been covered with sand and gravel. From these two points, it has been here for at least fifty years or more.

The location of the three of them is now a Gobi-like environment, and as far as the eye can see, there are all the same piles of rubble and a small number of unknown weeds that are withered and yellow, but still alive. So the sudden appearance of an RV that does not belong to this environment itself makes people have a considerable sense of dissonance, but in this sense of incongruity, there is also horror and horror.

On the outer edge of the roof of the RV, a row of ...... hangs like bacon Stuff. Half of them were animal limbs that Akiwa didn't recognize, but the other half was quite familiar.

It was the thighs, arms, and torso that had been cut into several pieces that originally belonged to humans.

Qiu Yu immediately understood where Jack's fear came from. Being bitten to death by an animal seems to them to be as natural as human life, old age, sickness and death, but if it is eaten by its own kind, people of any era cannot easily accept it, especially before eating, they don't know what will happen to make life worse than death.

"Is that a vagrant's car?"

Seeing that Culomb was cautiously lying on the ground and gradually retreated, Qiu Yu also learned his movements and retreated, and Jack joined the retreat after hearing Qiu Yu's question.

Relative to the location of the RV, several people were on a slightly raised hillock, and after exiting a few meters, the RV was completely out of sight.

"Yes, the only people who stay in this kind of place are homeless." Jack let out a heavy breath.

Coulomb patted the dust off his body, "Looking at the appearance of that car, it must have been here for a while, right?" Haven't you walked this road? ”

Jack smiled bitterly, "Walking can only judge the general direction, and there is no way to do it, and there is no way to deviate a few kilometers." Let's go, stay away from them. ”

Qiu Yu suddenly stopped after following Jack for a few steps.

"Where do you think the people they eat come from?"

"Where did it come from? I guess it's the hapless people like us who are wandering around. ”

"But you said that there are no other settlements nearby, and those unlucky ghosts won't travel tens or hundreds of kilometers here to give them food, right?"

Coulomb's footsteps also stopped, "You mean, they're eating peers!" ”

"In some ways, the homeless are not human anymore, and even if they eat each other, it's not surprising, it's none of our business anyway." Jack just wants to get out of here as soon as possible.

"That's true." Qiu Yu looked at the sky again, "It doesn't matter if it's just an ordinary cannibalism, or if it might trigger a quest related to some treasure." Or maybe the limbs are just fairly realistic models, and we walk past and find a poor mother and son, who are relying on the models to intimidate other passers-by or homeless people around them, waiting for someone to rescue them. Or maybe it's a trap set up for us by the homeless, and as soon as we get past it, a bunch of people who want to use us as food will pour out...... There's so much to tell in a motorhome in the wilderness. If we don't look, all these conjectures will always be conjectures, but conjectures will not hurt us. But once we come into contact with it, no matter which one is the conjecture, we will be entangled with the fate of the owner of the home, and the straight line of fate will become complicated. So, I prefer to keep it simple. ”

Coulomb shook his head and said, "Why do you keep talking about fate, scientists have said that the so-called fate is just the experience of life, as long as we survive, everything we do is a part of fate, since our every move is fate, so fate and eating and sleeping are essentially the same, there is no need to talk about it every day." ”

"If it was me in the past, I would definitely agree with this statement of your scientists, but now...... The degree of knowledge we know about a thing depends on the level and direction of knowledge we have. If you ask a kid what is the fastest in the world, he will probably answer Rocket. Ask the same question to an ordinary person, and he will probably answer without hesitation, it is light; The words of fundamental physicists might answer that the fastest known thing is light; The words of theoretical physicists, most likely, are entangled quanta; The words of a philosopher, as surely it would say, are thoughts. So from the point of view of fate, you are only from the perspective of your scientists, which is not necessarily the case. ”

Coulomb habitually ripped a piece of skin from his hand, "Your words are too difficult to understand, anyway, you mean that we won't go over, right?" ”

"Yes, what we have to do next is to reach the next settlement in the shortest straight line on the road of fate, and try not to go to any branch that deviates from this path."

Qiu Yu didn't say a word about what he wanted to return just now, and after Jack pointed out another direction, he continued to walk towards his distant destination.

After walking out of silence for more than ten minutes, Jack suddenly said, "Can you tell me what fate you understand is?" ”

"I understand......," Qiu Yu ended another futile call, "I understand fate that is more boring than you scientists say." ”

"It's not going to be any more boring than our current life, is it?"

"I'm not saying that fate itself is boring, but that knowing my understanding of fate will make you feel boring."

Coulomb slowed down and walked together with Qiu Yu and Jack, "It's the most boring thing to walk silly like this, since you don't have to save water, let's talk about it, I like things that make sense." ”

Speaking is indeed a good way to distract oneself, and the farther you go, the less likely you are to retreat, so Qiu Yu is also willing to find something to say, "In my opinion, the so-called fate is the collection of what you want to do and what you have to do when external forces force you to do......"
