Page 9: On the eve of the storm
It is true that this is an era of reverence for science, but why can't metaphysics and science seek common ground while reserving differences? Some people believe that the end of science may be metaphysics; There are also those who believe that metaphysics is nothing more than a set of absurd statements by some people who deceive the world and steal their reputations; In the first glance of Wen Ren, the two are nothing more than different directions and angles of looking at things.
Ancient belief in metaphysics and modern admiration for science, is it because ancient people planted trees or modern people have surpassed their steps, or have human beings forgotten or abandoned their original talents in the process of evolution? In any case, one thing has to be admitted: some of the wisdom of ancient people is still beyond the reach of modern humans.
……
Whenever someone dies, it is common to hear people around them kindly comfort: "Don't be sad, he/she just went to heaven!" "Everything will be fine, and you don't want him/her to see you like this in the sky and worry about you!" …… Unfortunately, there is no heaven above the dome, and there is no such thing as hell in the underworld.
However, it is true that people's deceased relatives and friends are occasionally haunted by "heaven", before they are reincarnated.
Wen Ren looked at the misty and unreachable "heaven" at the beginning and couldn't help but wonder: did his father, whom he had never met since birth, occasionally look down on them silently through that mirage, or did he finish lining up to go to the next life?
It was getting darker and darker, as if night was approaching.
At this moment, in the jungle that covered the sky and the sun, countless birds suddenly spread their wings and scattered in all directions, and the sky was full of eyes for a while. Wen Renchu, who was attentive, also noticed that in the corner of the observatory, unknown small reptiles were pouring out in swarms, as if they were moving, but more like they were fleeing. and the monkeys around him also became extremely restless at the moment, jumping up and down around him and making noise.
Seeing this, Lu Keke hurriedly pulled him and asked, "Mangzi, what are they talking about?" ”
Before the words fell, everyone on the side suddenly looked at it in unison, with an incredible expression on their faces, and then Team Leader Zhao asked curiously: "Xiao Chu, can you understand what animals say?" ”
"Uh, this ......"
Lu Keke was also careless for a while, and actually forgot about this stubble, but fortunately, her brain was flexible, and she answered the call in time to solve the siege: "Mentor, this is the latest high-tech and a state secret." So you ......"
After hearing this, everyone did not doubt that there was him, after all, it was not impossible in this era. Everyone is a smart person, so they don't ask too many questions, and solemnly say that they will keep their mouths shut, showing more of a strong interest in this "high-tech".
Because things like green pupils are generally invisible to ordinary people, and it is common for people to talk to their pets nowadays, so Wen Renchu usually communicates with some small animals and does not deliberately avoid it at all. But at this time, knowing that he was not talking to himself, he still felt a little embarrassed.
But he is not the kind of person who cares about other people's eyes, they want to see the excitement and let them be optimistic. In the blink of an eye as they crouched down, the shouts of the golden marmosets were quickly fed back to Wen Renchu's brain through the automatic translation of their talents.
"Disaster is coming! Disaster is coming! "Quickly release our king, we have to leave here quickly with the king, it's too dangerous to stay here!" "It's going to thunder, it's going to rain, I'm so happy!"
One of the voices made Wen Ren feel particularly abrupt at first...... Everyone is acting panicked, you little fart monkey is so excited that you really won't be beaten by fat? I guess they don't have that much time to take care of at this time.
Wen Renchu felt that there was no need to continue asking, the recent series of strange phenomena had always made him have a bad premonition in his heart, I am afraid that all this is just a premonition before the real disaster.
So he got up and made a decision immediately: "Everyone leave here immediately!" Maybe something terrible or something bad will happen here soon, but be quick and don't pack things up. ”
This decision was very sudden, and everyone did not react immediately for a while, just stood hesitantly in place.
The team leader of the observation station, Zhao felt that Wen Renchu was making a big fuss, and stood up and questioned: "Xiao Chu, are you a little too scared of yourself?" Even if these monkeys are a little uneasy, or say something to you, they can't tell you anything! It's just a storm, it's a common occurrence this season! ”
Wen Renchu really couldn't refute it, after all, he couldn't be sure, everything was just his speculation, more out of his own intuition. So he didn't bother to continue to dwell on this issue, but just lightly dropped a sentence: "A great disaster is coming, there will be signs." Whether to go or stay, decide for yourself. ”
Immediately afterwards, he gave an order to the witty people (fortunately, the intelligent robots here are not civilian and private), asking them to release all the animals in the laboratory, and release them back to nature without major problems, and take away the small animals that have no ability to move themselves as much as possible, and then escort the personnel of the scientific research team to leave the reserve immediately. For him, this is already considered benevolent and righteous, as for the rest...... One can only hope that it/they are blessed.
After giving the order, Wen Renchu bowed down and directly put Lu Keke on his back, and then left without looking back.
……
After walking for less than a cup of tea, Wen Ren suddenly noticed that something had been following them behind him.
When I looked back, it turned out to be the skiniest little fart monkey, showing its little head from time to time behind a tree like a thief. I don't know why, at this time it was alone as a monkey, and its round eyes were filled with pitiful tears.
Just as Wen Renchu was about to call it over, his feet began to shake, and then became more and more violent...... In the blink of an eye, the mountains shook, as if the heavens and the earth were trembling uncontrollably like chaff because they were so frightened.
After only a few breaths, on the ground not far away, small cracks began to spread, gradually revealing the clues of the abyss......
The devastating earthquake continues, for more than ten seconds, and shows no signs of stopping.
The nearby mountains are constantly sliding down rock and soil layers, and the steep parts are also beginning to collapse, and countless debris of the mountains and rocks are accompanied by loud noises and sand and dust rolling down to the foot of the slope; The river in the distance also became extremely violent, as if it had been engulfed by a terrifying beast lurking at the bottom of the water, and it fiercely devoured the lower reaches of the east.
The countless cracks on the ground began to gather rapidly, and suddenly a huge crack more than a foot wide was formed, just like a black snake swimming towards Wen Renchu's feet.
