Chapter 48: Ancient Legends
This has nothing to do with the strength of adaptability, but mainly because these insects that live in the forest are used as food, and they are really ugly.
At night in the modern forest, it is a paradise for bugs and night-dwelling animals.
Xu Fan lay on the high rattan net more than one meter from the ground, turning over and over, and it was difficult to sleep.
The sounds of various beetle small animals hunting all around, all of them are aware of Suosuo.
Xu Fan, who couldn't sleep, simply jumped off the rattan net and walked lightly towards the stream not far from the birthday tree.
Sit down by the extinguished campfire by the stream, and look at the moving 'galaxy' in front of you, stunned.
Above the stream, which flows down from the back of the valley with the sound of trickling water, there are flakes of snow fireflies, releasing a faint light.
The little ones chase each other and frolic with each other, moving little by little, like a miniature version of the galaxy flowing in the forest.
"The trajectory of fate rolls with the wheels of history, and when mankind enters the end of the Age of Discovery, the precipitated immigrant planets always have novelties that are difficult to conceal their light."
This is a sentence that the self-proclaimed late-blooming philosopher Jin Dafu often remembers on his lips.
Xu Fan didn't know why he remembered this passage at this time, and remembered it so clearly.
Probably the old man Jin Dafu, who is obviously a skilled mechanical repairman, but always talks about philosophers out of tune.
"Fate steals if only the result is left, time steals the original intention and leaves only the bitterness, you have come and then you leave, leaving only the starry sky."
Xu Fan stared at this scene and muttered the lyrics written by a great composer among human beings.
Because of this moment, he remembered Vivilian very abruptly.
That smiling girl was once his first love.
Because of a misunderstanding, the two hurriedly said goodbye to each other and never communicated with each other since.
In the words of the fat man Zhu Pengju: The fragrance of first love lies in the fact that it is a warm friendship.
And the two who met in the Yuanlei battle actually didn't have much deep friendship to pave the way.
One was young, the other was ignorant, and they met in a hurry.
Xu Fan was also very strange as to why he suddenly remembered these trivial matters in this extremely dangerous and extremely serious survival training.
However, thinking about this forest survival made him have a headache.
If you change the environment, the team will not be easy to bring!
He didn't know how Xiao Meng and Lenny Xueni, who he knew, spent the past few days, and whether they were eliminated by the cruel laws of nature.
Anyway, the fourteenth group he was in had already eliminated five students in just three days, and the rest of the people were completely unaligned.
Although they have had a lot of luck in the past few days, except for fighting against poisonous insects and poisonous barriers, they haven't seen any of the natives that Instructor Wu Shixun said, but they can't meet them tomorrow after tonight.
For him, many things need to be prepared, not to mention survival in the primeval forest, which is related to life.
He didn't know if their condition in this modern forest was quietly watched by Instructor John.
Because all the electronics are put away.
What is certain, though, is that Instructor John values all of them.
From the time when the five of them were eliminated, he knew the speed at which the rescue mecha arrived.
Yes, that's right, it's the slim real-life mecha that came to the rescue!
The third generation of the federal military mecha spike-type armament - the Blade.
The third generation of armament belongs to the logistics arms, a spare mecha jointly developed by the federal and private enterprises, the core parts are double-disposed, and almost never participate in actual combat, in the battlefield, it is called the "mobile supply base" spare mecha.
Since the first generation, when this spare mech was used on a large scale in the Federation Army, it was known for its powerful mobility and pervertedly thick nano-energy shield.
In the evaluation of a big reporter whose name Xu Fan didn't remember, this mecha was forcibly classified as a chicken rib by the reporter.
At that time, when he saw the headlines with the old man Jindafu, the old man laughed at this guy who didn't know what to say, half-hearted, didn't know the value of really good things, and laughed off his big teeth.
According to the old man, this mecha is not as simple as it seems, and the core engine is not known how many years ahead of the civilian mecha on the market.
What's more, the company that developed the Blade mecha used to build interstellar spaceships, a behemoth across the star sector, and it can be seen that this mecha is not simple just by inferring from this.
It's ridiculous that the big journalist, who is respected by ignorant citizens, dares to make up a book.
——
I have to say that the old man Jin Dafu, as Xu Fan's half life mentor, plays a great role.
So much so that Xu Fan never dared to underestimate any mecha that appeared on the market, as well as various unique mechanical products.
In the words of the old man, if you want to become an excellent mechanical repairer, you must open your horizons, and a mechanical repairer is not just as simple as repairing things!
Xu Fan didn't know what to think of happily, and grinned.
Quickly stretch out your hand, gently pinch a snow glowworm that flies in front of you, and its tail emits a bright snowball, put it in the palm of your hand, and come to your eyes to watch.
I saw the snow fireflies in front of him, obediently staying in the palm of his hand, and did not fly away for the first time, but bloomed proudly.
"Xu Fan, what do you want?" There was a chuckle behind him, and his footsteps were light and fluttering.
Xu Fan, who had already heard the footsteps behind him, did not turn his head, but raised his palm with a smile: "I'm thinking, what is the purpose of Instructor John throwing us here." ”
The snow fireflies flickered their wings, swayed and flew up, and flew towards their companions in the air, Xu Fan turned his head and looked at the person in the darkness and asked, "Why haven't you rested?" ”
"Like you, can't sleep." The person who came groped and sat down beside Xu Fan, put his hands on his knees, looked up at the dancing snow fireflies, and looked happily like a child: "Although it's not the first time I've seen it, it's still so beautiful!" ”
Through the faint light, Xu Fan looked at the side face of the visitor, smiled and did not speak.
Lu Ya waited for a long time, and saw that the person beside her did not echo, so she turned her head and looked at Xu Fan by the faint light: "Do you know about this kind of insect called snow fireflies?" ”
"I don't know much, what's wrong?" Xu Fan was slightly stunned.
To be honest, he really didn't know much about this kind of creature in nature that has low survival ability and reproduction ability.
It has nothing to do with interest, he simply feels that he can't learn anything from this kind of creature born from nature and living at the bottom of the food chain.
"I don't know if you've heard of an old legend about the beginning of the Age of Discovery, the Dark Ages." Without waiting for Xu Fan to speak, Lu Ya in the darkness stroked her short hair, her eyes were bright and she muttered to herself: "Originated from the spark of the stars and rose from the light of the candle; Leaving the other side, chasing the mystery of life; When philosophical thinking is combined with the wheel of time, when the light of wisdom obscures the trajectory of history, when the star of the galaxy twinkles, everything will eventually return to nothingness. ”
The girl still hugged her knees, tilted her head, and sighed softly at the snow fireflies that would gather into a ribbon and wind and fly towards the depths of the forest.
Xu Fan in the dark scratched his head, a little unbelievable.
This...... What legend is this?
Why does it feel so much like the philosophy of the old man Jindaf?
For a while, Xu Fan looked at the girl's eyes through the faint light of the night, as if he had discovered the coordinates of a new galaxy.
