Chapter 19: Reverie of the Wasteland

"What the hell! Did you hit an animal skeleton again? Hai Ge looked at it angrily, and suddenly his brain exploded, and he rubbed his eyes vigorously for fear that he had seen it wrong.

It turned out that the crack in the brown earth had begun to widen at some point, and he stepped into a large crack that was just a foot wide, and it was the edge of the crack that tripped over him.

"This ...... Why is this happening? Could it be that the land here has not yet been fixed and is still in flux? Hai Ge was frightened. This is no joke, if one crack cracks to the width of a person, won't he fall into the abyss?

But on second thought, there's no need to make a fuss. The natural world is never in a constant state, but the speed of change can be fast and slow. As for ground cracks, as long as you are careful enough and look carefully before taking every step, it shouldn't be so dangerous. Once he made it out of the wasteland, he was safe.

But his personal safety does not mean the safety of the earth, and what will happen to the earth if it really suffers from a global drought? The light is like fire, and the water in the land is squeezed out little by little. To the naked eye, the brown soil is completely dry, but in fact, there is still a very small amount of water in the soil, which will not be completely evaporated.

But if even the last drop of water is sucked away by the sun, how vicissitudes will the earth's surface become? Hopefully, all of this will only happen in the shadows, and it will be entirely Wedel's personal fantasy. There will never be such a devastating drought on Earth, and the oceans will always be there!

But what does the sudden hot winter and the lengthening of the days mean in Nishitsu?

Worried that it was too exhausting, Hai Ge found a safe place and sat down with a white robe to rest.

Squinting again, the city is still out of reach.

He tried to use his imagination to construct a healthy green world for the illusion, so that he would feel better, but involuntarily, his mind followed Wedell, until the vivid green was robbed by the bright light of the sun, and in the end only this devastated scene remained.

In the fantasy, there is a lush green meadow, and when you walk through the meadow, you can see a forest of green trees, their pale green canopies obscuring the blue sky. Animals make their homes in the woods or grass, happily getting the food and water they need from nature.

However, at some point, the climate changed, and the monsoon winds from the southeast mixed with heat blew away the clouds in the sky. Rain became scarce, so that lakes dried up, rivers cut off, and flowers and trees withered. The animals launched a collective escape, far away from this place of death opened up by the sun for the culprit, and went to other green countries to continue to live peacefully......

But if the brown soil under your feet was once an ocean, how can you explain it? What kind of drought can suck up a drop of seawater? If such a catastrophe happens, will the earth still exist in the universe safely?

Thinking of this, Hai Ge raised his eyebrows, and simply attributed the disappearance of the ocean to Wedel's mistake in the design of the illusion, so that he would not have to worry so much.

Even if the sea had evaporated the sun, there would still be a large number of marine mammal bones left on the seabed, but the number he could see was too small to prove that it was once the sea. And shells, and corals, and reefs? Where did all those ocean markers go? Could it be that before the drought, there was a devastating hurricane here, and even the reef was swept away, but the shark bones were left?

He also speculated that perhaps a fire had been ignited on the seabed after the sea had dried up, and the flames were so hot that even the stones were burned. But the bones remain...... No geoscientist would want to believe such a ridiculous explanation!

The wasteland is so clean that there is only dry soil left, and there must be a mystery in it, what is the secret? How could he find out? If you can't find the answer, won't you lose to Wedel?

"Hey~ Now I need not only answers, but also water and food. Without these two things, there would soon be a human skeleton here. Dead people decay quickly in the heat, and if I starve to death, I'll be exposed like those sea creatures......"

Haige pessimistically imagines the end of his here, delusional that he will soon fall out of the shadow, and hears Wedel laugh triumphantly.

"Nice to meet you, sir, may I serve you now?" Say 1 if you agree, 2 if you disagree. ”

A man's voice, soft and beautiful, brought a thunderous effect, startling Hai Ge suddenly jumped up from the ground and looked around in horror.

The moor is silent, only the sun interprets its noise with heat. Where even ghosts can't hide, how can there be any people who provide services? Haige felt that she was probably tired and hungry and hallucinated. But that voice was too real, wasn't it Wedel who was making trouble behind his back and deliberately scaring him? But the one who can speak, as if it were another person......

"Nice to meet you, sir, may I serve you now?" Say 1 if you agree, 2 if you disagree. ”

Same voice, same content, from the same people! This time Hai Ge was sure that it was not a hallucination, someone was really hiding in a place he couldn't see to ask questions!

But there is no barrier in the wasteland, and you can see it from any side, where is that person hiding?

"Wedel, is that you? You're playing this trick to humiliate me, aren't you? "Hai Ge is so angry that if the alien called Wedel appears in front of him, he will definitely grab that guy by the collar and beat him up before he can relieve his anger! Even if he's almost fainting from hunger!

"Nice to meet you, sir, may I serve you now?" Say 1 if you agree, 2 if you disagree. ”

Third ...... The voice repeated the same thing a third time, completely ignoring his roar.

Hai Ge couldn't figure out what the situation was with this strange scene, and he didn't know how to deal with it, so he was so irritated that he stomped his feet. The hunger and thirst struck again, and he was so lightheaded that he almost fainted. In desperation, he could only admit defeat and squeeze out a word from between his teeth: "1." ”

"Okay, what kind of service do you need?" The options you can choose from are: guide, drinks, food, shopping, women. ”

"Huh? The service in this fantasy also includes female ...... Person? Hai Ge, who has not yet come out of puberty, burns his cheeks as if he is on fire, and this burning sensation is all due to ignorant shyness, and has nothing to do with the sun.

The wasteland itinerary is lonely and boring, and if he can have someone by his side, he will definitely be full of energy and strive to be the winner of the game even harder. But if the mysterious voice came up with a multiple-choice question, he could only choose one of those options, and he couldn't waste the opportunity.

The woman can only watch but not eat, let alone give him water to drink, his choice is natural: food.

"Okay, success, that's for you!"

After listening to Haige's choice, the voice replied with kindness, and the enthusiasm was not inferior to that of the waiter in the one-Michelin-starred restaurant!
