Chapter 14: God's Warning
Schimer and Neil, the two of them walked silently into the woods. A dark cloud obscured the sun, the light in the forest became darker and darker, and the sky was bleak and silent, except for the sound of two pairs of feet stepping on the leaves.
By a stream, Schimer stopped, Neil looked up, and saw that Schimer's eyes were wide open and looking at him, with a complicated look in his eyes, Neil didn't know what the owner behind these eyes was thinking, his heart was a little evasive, but he still bravely kept looking up and looking at each other.
The four eyes met in the air for a moment, only to hear Schimer say in a deep voice, "Neil, I have some questions for you. Neil looked up at Schimer, feeling the other man standing in front of him like a colossus, his robes and white hair fluttering gently in the wind, as if inviolable as a god.
Schimmer asked slowly, "Neil, where did you go after you came to the moon and before you met our patrolmen?" Neil said to himself, sure enough, his heart began to pound, but he still tried to make himself appear calm, without thinking too much, almost as if instinctively reacting, and his answer rushed out: "High Priest, I told you when I first met you, and after stepping out of the lunar module, I saw a strong flash, and then I was pulled by a strange force to penetrate the ground, and fell all the way down, until finally I fell into the cesspool. β
"How long have you fallen?"
"About four or five minutes."
"How long had you been ashore when our team found you?"
"I don't have a very exact impression of this, ten minutes, or twenty minutes."
"But you know what, between the time you stepped out of the lunar module and the time we found you, there was an hour and fifteen minutes between it?"
"This, I...... I have nothing to explain, in fact, I was knocked unconscious in the process of falling down. I guess I was drifting in the sewer for a while before I woke up. β
"Neil, although the moon is a new world for you, you must know that this kind of inexplicable crossing from the surface to the underground has never happened before."
"Well, I really don't know what to say. High priest, you know...... That's ...... after all Your territory. Schimer pondered for a moment, then asked, "Neil, do you still have any doubts about what I've told you these days, especially about the fact that you humans were created by us?" β
"Yes, there should be no doubts."
"Hehe, I hope so." Schimer is colored,
"Neil, do you know the biblical story of Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt?"
"Of course."
"Then you must know what the first miracle the Lord had Moses and Aaron perform before Pharaoh was." Skimmer's question caught Neil off guard, and he hesitated, "It should be that the river has turned into blood, and all the fish in the river have died." β
"Neil, come and see." Before Schimer could finish speaking, his right hand swung like lightning towards the stream in front of him, and his wide sleeve carried a powerful air current, and as his waving arm shot out, the six or seven meters wide river seemed to be hit by a row of howitzers, and huge splashes of water flew everywhere, and the shattered gravel at the bottom of the river and the fish killed in the river flew into the sky with a bang, and fell on the shore one after another.
Neil was stunned. Expressionless, Schimmer asked, "Neil, do you know the story of Yahweh's destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah?" Neil looked at Schimer with wide open eyes and mouth, not daring to answer.
"Neil, come and see." Schimer waved his right hand again, and the trees behind him suddenly seemed to be sprayed by a hundred flamethrowers at the same time, and the trees more than ten meters wide burst into flames at once.
Neil involuntarily recoiled in fright, and he looked at Schimer's face and felt his heart broken. Schimer stood in front of the flames, like a judge from the end times, his eyes red with the light of the fire, and the crackling sound of the burning trees could not drown out his sonorous words: "I hope this story will serve as a warning to you that Neil, Sodom, and Gomorrah were destroyed for not believing in God." Leaving the burning forest, Neil's heart was in turmoil.
The scene just now lingered in his mind like a sudden nightmare, and like a basin of cold water falling from the sky, he was completely awakened from head to toe.
He began to re-examine his current situation, carefully probing the person he was dealing withβor what was going on in God's heart.
He speculated with his heart what the ultimate purpose of this prehistoric journey was that Schimmer had brought him, but he was never puzzled: "The alien race living on the moon has a civilization far beyond human beings, claims to be the founder of mankind, has had a huge impact on human history, and also knows all the life trajectories since the beginning of human civilization, but it is such a race, for thousands of years, it has always been hiding in the seemingly uncomfortable interior of the moon, and has lived on the earth for some unknown reason. It is a ridiculous thing to be a mere observer from the other side, who has never taken any action, and to observe it from a human point of view. At the same time, they showed what can be described as excessive enthusiasm for me, the first human being to go to the moon, not only explaining in detail the intricacies of their own and hostile lives, but also taking me through time and space to witness the scenes of ancient earth humans living with their ancestors, and tirelessly instilling in me the 'historical facts' that human beings were created by them, but they always avoided mentioning the biggest questions I raised. Neil wanted to break his head, but he couldn't come up with a reason.
He peeked at Schimer, but the other party's face was still sinking like water, Neil couldn't think about it, so he simply emptied his brain and told himself that he was left to fate.
Schimer glanced at Neil with both eyes and shook his head slightly. He stopped, looked at Neil's face mixed with anxiety and anger, and a little frightened, laughed softly, and said in a calm tone: "Neil, as an elder, I apologize to you for my behavior just now, I didn't want to show this side of me in front of you." I know what you're thinking right now, and I promise to answer your doubts, but it's going to take a step-by-step process. So right now, I thought I could tell you something about the moon.
"The Moon, the former planet of Chabes, was the root of all evil that destroyed our home planet, and later, as time passed, it became the supership we captured from the vast universe. It was originally just a dark lair of the Chapis who did not depend on oxygen to live, but when my ancestors brought it into orbit on Earth, they painstakingly and continuously transformed it into a second planet suitable for us Drakins and you humans to habit.
"Transforming the moon is a painstaking undertaking, and Neil, you can imagine how much effort it takes. From the time it first came to Earth's orbit to the time it was fully habitable, it took us six or seven hundred years one after another. Among them, there is one thing that you should be proud of, that is, a large number of human beings on Earth have also joined this work, in fact, without the help of human beings, we Zolkin people alone would not be able to complete such a huge project. Ignoring the look of surprise on Neil's face, Schimer continued, "Surviving on the moon without relying on oxygen cylinders is our first goal. To this end, your ancestors and I, starting from tiny parts, like silkworms eating mulberry leaves, excavated, sealed, transformed, and built little by little in the harsh environment of the moon. We first need to build a number of confined spaces in the interior of the moon, and then use some chemical reagents and anaerobic organisms to create a set of circulating oxygen supply devices, and then obtain a large amount of fresh water from the icebergs inside the moon to form a water circulation system, and then on this basis, we can breed plants and animals that can grow in the interior of the moon as food. After the basic living conditions are satisfied, we will further improve the living environment and build population settlements and even cities...... It was nothing short of an epic feat. Although I did not experience those pioneering years, from the records left by my ancestors, I can fully feel the hardships of your ancestors and my ancestors.
"You must be curious, since we have come to live on Earth, why do we have to go to the trouble of building a lunar base, in fact, this reason is very simple. I have mentioned to you that the ancient earth was not a peaceful place, long before we arrived, there were already a number of creatures with advanced intelligence living on the earth, they are intricately distributed in various regions of the earth, and they have been evolving for a long time, and after we come to the earth, of course, we will inevitably come into contact with them. Although we have advanced technology, we as outsiders, we only have a small population base, and at the same time, because of our peaceful temperament, we do not want to conflict with the original inhabitants of the earth, so on the one hand, we create human beings to strengthen our own power, on the other hand, we also want to transform the moon into a giant celestial body that can be controlled, so that even if one day our survival on the earth is in crisis, there is still another feasible way out. It was with this idea in mind that we worked tirelessly to move the Moon to the vicinity of the Earth, and spent hundreds of years and enormous energy transforming it to make it livable.
"Neil, you've been asking me about the whereabouts of the ancient Drowjin and those bull and snake people, and although this matter is a bit tragic to say, it's not that I can't tell you, and only after you have a clear understanding of the ins and outs of our transformation of the moon, I can continue to tell you the following story."
