A sudden heavy snowfall made us confused, and this long night, we either sat or waited for dawn in a daze.

Outside the wooden house, it was snow-capped, and the temperature dropped a lot, and it was as if we had traveled from spring to winter.

I crawled out of the hut with pain in my lower back, and I had been thinking about the possible cause of this strange weather all night, although it was possible that it was just an accident or an accident, but it was also very likely that something unknown had happened to the whole world, and I had to figure out what was going on.

I asked the others to clear the snow in the camp, in order to prevent the blizzard from falling again, we had to make more preparations, especially food and firewood, and then Lin Ruyi and I took our guns to the beach.

As soon as he arrived at the beach, Lin Ruyi found a problem, the previous boat was gone! I said that it was not surprising, that when we first left the ship, we were just anchored in the shallows, and the sea was so stormy that it was easy to sweep the ship away, and maybe it was lying somewhere in the depths of the ocean.

Lin Ruyi shook his head, suddenly pointed to the sea in the distance and said, "Then what is that?" ”

I looked in the direction she pointed, and there was really the shadow of a ship on the sea in the distance, and I was about to say that your ship was really nostalgic, and even if it was abandoned, it was reluctant to leave by itself, but before I could say anything, I noticed that something was wrong, the ship had huge and towering sails.

Lin Ru and I looked at each other, is it a rescue team? But if it was a rescue team, why would they drive a sailboat to the rescue, and such an old antique should have been kept in a museum a long time ago?

When the ship got closer, we could see more clearly that it was really a large wooden sailboat, and even more exaggerated was that there were more than a dozen black guns on the side of the ship.

That's even hellier! Isn't this Nima's a sail battleship that was common only in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries? How did it suddenly appear in this sea?

Making a movie? Through? All kinds of possibilities flashed quickly in my mind, and Lin Ruyi suddenly pulled me up, turned around and turned back into the dense forest, and we hid behind a thick tree to watch the changes.

I asked Lin Ruyi, "What do you think?" Could it be true that the big bear can be accurate, and we have crossed now? ”

Lin Ruyi was also confused, she shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, but didn't you yourself say that parallel time and space, wormholes, and other things are just hypotheses that are not even theoretically valid?" But this ship is really strange, I don't know if there are such large sailing ships in the world, but even if there is, it should be an antique treasure, you want to say that it is understandable to drive around in the offshore sea, and it is really hard to figure out if it appears in the depths of the ocean. ”

The boat came to a halt near the limit of the beach draft, and several figures appeared from the bow of the ship busily anchored and lowered the spiral ladder, and a few minutes later a dozen men in red uniforms and black military caps came to the beach.

This, that, at this moment I can't describe my inner confusion in words, and I really can't find a more reasonable explanation for the way this line of people dress other than cosplay.

The group of red-clothed soldiers walked around the beach, pulling out their old-fashioned monoculars and muttering something to the beach, and then someone got out of the boat and pulled out a flag and planted it on the beach.

I asked Lin Ruyi in a low voice, "What do you think these people do?" Could it be a movie? ”

Lin Ruyi said, "It can't be a movie, you can't even see a photographer, and you can see what they are wearing and the guns they are carrying, they are not modern things at all, but very much like the dress of the colonial army in the last century." ”

As we were muttering, the glasses men and the men came to the beach, and the red-clad soldiers immediately raised their guns and pointed them at the glasses men.

The man with glasses calmly raised the gun in his hand and shot it into the sky, and after the bullet was finished, he threw the gun to the ground, I guess that means that the guy in Lao Tzu's hand is much more advanced than yours, and when you finish loading the gunpowder, you will have already gone to see Marx.

The group of red-clothed soldiers was indeed frightened, and the officer who took the lead signaled his subordinates not to act rashly, and then stepped forward to talk to the eyed man.

I asked Lin Ruyi, "Shall we go out and have a look?" ”

Lin Ruyi nodded, "It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, I think these people are a bit of a desire to occupy the island as the king, and we have to face it after all." ”

Lin Ruyi and I suddenly came out of the dense forest, and the red-clothed soldiers were also startled, and they almost missed the gun.

The officer in red said to us and the man in glasses, "We are the exploration force of the British Empire, and this island is now officially part of the British Empire, so you can either surrender to the British Empire or leave immediately!" ”

The British Empire? We are all two monks who are confused, the empire on which the sun never sets has long ceased to exist, and the toiling masses around the world have long since turned over and entered the new era, where did the British Empire come from?

I said, "Dude, don't talk nonsense, what age is it now, it's not an empire, the industrial revolution is going to be 4.0 soon." ”

The officer in red looked at me with some contempt and said, "Ignorant fools, who don't even know about the British Empire, are full of nonsense. This island is now the legitimate territory of the British Empire, so please make your choice now. ”

Before I could speak again, the man with glasses preemptively said: "Mr. Officer, we have lived on this island for a long time, and we really don't know much about the outside world, dare to ask what year it is?" ”

The red-clothed officer said slowly, "It's 3000 AD. ”

3000 years? Why did you still cross forward? But no, if it is a time traveler to the future, it should at least be the high-tech era of mecha spacecraft, how can productivity go backwards? The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, and the more I felt that the group of red-clothed soldiers in front of me might have escaped from some kind of mental hospital.

Lin Ruyi kept hinting to me on the side, don't think so much about it first, this leading officer's IQ is worrying, what to ask and answer, it's better to have more words first, and then make a decision when I figure out what is going on in the outside world.

The red-clad officers told us that they were from the Far West, that the British Empire was a country composed of archipelagos, and that in addition to the archipelagos on their homeland, they also had many large and small island territories around the world, and that it took more than a month for their ship to sail to our island, and that according to the provisions of the British Empire's Territorial Expansion Act, wherever the flag of the British Empire was planted, it would be the new territory of the Empire. The aborigines either chose to surrender or go to war.

We asked a lot of modern things, but in exchange for the officer's merciless ridicule, saying that we had been on a desert island for a long time, and our minds were full of whims.

However, the leading officers told us that they had chosen our island because they intended to make it a transit point for further colonial expansion, and that they would send slaves and criminals to reclaim the island, and that according to the laws of the British Empire, if the aborigines gave up their resistance and voluntarily submitted, they would be eligible to hold public office in the future island cabinet.

My whole mind was so jumbled up with this jumble of information that I couldn't figure out if we had changed, or if the world had changed. The whole conversation was basically conducted by Lin Ruyi and the man with glasses, and I suddenly thought that all this could have something to do with the heavy snowfall last night? Are we all frozen stupid and caught up in gratuitous dreams? Or have we actually frozen to death, and now we're just wandering with our remaining thoughts?
