Chapter 10: Hello Sullivan
After Zhou Yu mobilized concisely, he and Lu Bu, Tuda, and Bellman drove the seven monitor lizards who were still dizzy to the entrance, in order to prevent the monitor lizards from scattering, they used a thick rope to put the monitor lizards one by one through the sugar gourd, Tuda walked in the front, and Lu Bu was behind.
Enter the entrance, sandboarding. Everything went according to schedule. It was already a starry night outside, and the cave quickly became cold, and when it rolled to the stone ground, Zhou Yu touched it with his tentacles, and the ground was cold and biting, this ghost place. Then he got a blow to the back, and he snorted, and it was Bellman who smashed him on the back. He pulled Bellman up, put his hand to his lips and shushed, and by the night light of the blue worm, several people dragged the seven monitor lizards to the gap in the sinkhole.
The four of them looked down from the gap, and sure enough, three Dai Taimeng were there, one was cruising at the bottom of the pit, and the loaches were generally unhappy. There were also two intertwined, like a twisted flower, and two huge snake heads bumped into each other at once. Zhou Yu looks funny, could it be that Dai Taimeng is flirting?
Bellman leaned over and asked, "Governor, don't you have an important task for me?" I'm ready! Zhou Yu read from his eyes that he couldn't wait.
Zhou Yu tightened his linen mask tightly and said, "The corpse here is heavy, wear it well." The task you were given was to see the monitor lizard closest to the edge of the cliff? After a while, as soon as I waved my hand, you took out your dagger and stabbed it so hard that it fell. The knots will drag them all to the bottom of the pit one by one, and then we will find a VIP box to watch the show. Damn, I haven't watched a live broadcast in a long time. β
"Great!" Bellman took the order, stood at the mouth of the pit, and drew his dagger.
Zhou Yu saw that the position he was standing in was more dangerous, and waved his hand to the side, meaning to get closer to the wall, so as not to be hit by a monitor lizard for a while. Who knew that at this critical moment, Bellman would be wrong, thinking that Zhou Yu would let him do it. He stabbed the first monitor lizard in the neck.
The monitor lizard was in pain, and scurried one after another, and behind it were all companions like a hill, only there was space in front, and the stupid thing rushed forward in a daze, and fell down the pit with a hole under its feet, and before the edge of the rope was stretched and hung in the air, the gravity was so great that the second monitor lizard also fell. Zhou Yu's principle of this design is that if the rope is too long, the monitor lizard will fall to the bottom of the pit and die, and Dai Taimeng will not eat it. This one is dragged by the other, and is pulled by the rope above almost the bottom, which acts as a buffer.
The four of them almost applauded when they saw that this method worked, and when Bellman saw the two pills under his feet fall to the ground steadily, his heart blossomed, and he turned his head to smile at the Dudu. The moment he turned his head, everything that met his eyes froze, like in slow motion. Tuda's eyes widened like brass bells, and his forehead was bruised, and he reached out to grab him; Lu Bu quickly handed out his Fang Tian painting halberd; The Metropolitan Governor catapulted over with a brisk walk, and all this happened at the moment when he turned his head, what happened between the lightning and flint?
While his mind was racing as he thought, a tremendous force threw him into the air, and he somehow fell headfirst and foot up into the pit, with a hemp rope loop wrapped around his foot, which turned out to be dragged down by the rope around his ankle. Just as he froze in the air, time seemed to stand still, and he clearly saw that the mouth shape of the Metropolitan Governor's roar was: "Xiao-heart-", Tuda's mouth shape was: "No-to-ah-", and Lu Bu shouted: "Catch-hold-". However, it was too late.
Just when the three of them rushed to the entrance of the cave and went down, Lu Bu and Tuda held the entrance of the cave one left and one right, but the governor in the middle had no intention of reining himself, only to see a black shadow like lightning, swishing to hug the last monitor lizard, and falling down together.
Tuda's heart was like a knife, and Lu Bu beat his chest. On the contrary, the governor who was holding the monitor lizard and falling, turned his back downwards and upwards, and put his free right hand at the temple, and gave a military salute to the two.
There was a muffled sound, and the Metropolitan Governor and the last monitor lizard fell to the bottom of the pit, although they fell on a pile of meat, although the Metropolitan Governor had tried his best to adjust his falling posture in the air, allowing himself to fall in a bull riding position, but this time he still fell into a sloppy manner. As soon as he got out of the pit, he hurriedly let go of the monitor lizard and looked for Bellman's figure in the faint blue light. The monitor lizards were chewed one by one, and they could neither bite nor scream, and it was extremely safe to lie in the group of lizards.
In fact, Zhou Yu didn't want to be a great person, he just felt that he had the obligation to take him back when he brought this child, not to mention that the last task order was also given by him, and he had to bear any consequences caused by it. As for life and death, he hasn't thought much about this issue recently, why mourn in life and why in death? If he were a legend, he would not have died until his historical mission had been fulfilled; If he wasn't a legend, he thought he would let fate give him a good time. There is really only a slight difference between pleasure and pain.
"Bellman? Behrman? Zhou Yu forced himself to calm down at the moment, calm is the premise of survival. Whispering to him as he tuddled the monitor lizard.
"I'm here, Grand Duke." Zhou Yu saw Bellman, who was still untying the rope on his ankle between the two monitor lizards, he stiffened his lower body and moved forward in severe pain, and the impact of the fall just now was like being kicked in the crotch by a karate black belt with all his strength, which made Dadu suddenly have the idea of being a woman in the next life.
"Come, come, Bellman!" Zhou Yu helped him untie the rope and pulled him closer to the waist of the pit wall of the round pit.
"Hiss, hiss!" Maybe it was because he heard the sound of something falling, and the cheerful and cruising Daitamu swam straight to this side, spitting snake hyacinth as he went. Twenty zhang, ten zhang, five zhang, quickly approaching.
Bellman was already frightened, and by the faint blue light, he finally saw the behemoth up close for the first time. The blue armor, the scarlet sarcoma on the head, and the head of a snake like a huge human face, split left and right, hissed. Zhou Yu looked back and saw that Bellman was petrified, obviously the kid had been frightened. He squeezed his hand hard and whispered, "Play dead!" β
Bellman knew that only by believing in the Grand Governor could he survive at this time. The two of them slowly lay on the ground together, slowly, slowly on their sides, with their backs to Daitamu, so that it would not see the heaving breathing of its chest. Even so, the two of them didn't dare to take a breath, and the cold sweat on their foreheads dripped down their chins.
"Shhh Hiss! A fishy stench came from behind, the guy was getting closer and closer, and Bellman seemed to feel Daitaimon's exhaled breath blow down his back, closing his eyes and waiting for Judgement Day to arrive.
βDAEοΌTAIοΌMONοΌβ Suddenly, there was a loud roar, which was deafening. Then the two of them heard a loud bang and then the sound of swallowing, and the governor glanced sideways, and it turned out that the giant snake had swallowed a monitor lizard, which was the size of a foal, and it didn't even need to be chewed in Dai Taimeng's mouth, but swallowed it in just one bite, just like an adult eating a grape.
In the distance, two giant snakes swam quickly, and it turned out that it was calling for its companions to come and eat supper. The two generations of Taimu were about twice as big as this one, alternately advancing, grinning with two extremely ugly faces. Every time Zhou Yu saw this face, he wanted to throw a * into it, because it was so disgusting. The stench, the skull face, the red sarcoma, and the caterpillar-like body, how could God have created this creature? Or maybe God isn't here.
"Roar, roar!" Zhou Yu continued to observe, and the three giant snakes actually scrambled to fight, "Smack!" Syllable! "The sound of the connecting rope being torn apart. The two Daitaimu each bit a monitor lizard and pulled it hard, and one threw the monitor lizard into the air, swallowing it in one gulp as it fell. The other picked up the monitor lizard and threw it heavily on the ground, and when he saw the convulsive monitor lizard grinning and deceiving it little by little, he swallowed it unexpectedly.
Don't look at the joy you eat now, it will make you look good in a while. Zhou Yu rolled his eyes in the air, and when he came back to his senses, he happened to meet Bellman's eyes, and the child's chin drooped and dumbfounded.
In the blink of an eye, the three dai taimeng devoured the seven monitor lizards completely, and there was not even a rope left, and Bellman secretly rejoiced that it was so dangerous, if he hadn't quickly removed the rope around his ankle, he would have been buried in the belly of the snake by now. Daitameng ate and drank to his heart's content, and slowly swam to the other side of the pit, apparently their living room. Zhou Yu didn't want to be the after-dinner dessert of this ugly-faced snake, and he didn't want to watch one Dai Taimeng do planks, and the other two Dai Taimeng played rope flipping. His mind was spinning, how could he get out of this pit?
Just as he craned his neck and looked up. Day, the savior came. A rope slowly hung down from above, although he couldn't see the situation above, but he didn't have to guess that it must be the rescue rope put down by Lu Bu and Tuda, Bazaar hey you are on the mountain of gold. Zhou Yu snapped his fingers happily, and then looked back at Dai Taimeng in the distance vigilantly.
"Come on, Bellman!" Zhou Yu beckoned, and Bellman walked over tremblingly, and the kid's legs were still weak. Zhou Yu didn't ask for his opinion, pulled down the rope and tied a life-saving knot, put it under Bellman's armpit, and pulled the rope down hard. The rope began to pull up, and Bellman slowly rose up. Zhou Yu waved at him, but saw Bellman's eyes full of tears, and waved to him vigorously. Perhaps, it was that jump just now that made Bellman see and learn the difference between men and boys. Men and boys, just four words: take you home.
Not long after Bellman went up, the rope came down again. Zhou Yu enlarged the rope loop a little and put it on himself, and pulled it. The rope slowly moved up, obviously much slower than just now, you dead ghosts, sell some strength, is Lao Tzu so heavy?
Zhou Yu moved up inch by inch, because of the uneven force, the person also turned clockwise in the air, and he was able to carefully observe this huge sinkhole. This pit does not look natural, it is a little too round, like an artificial granary.
Although the walls are covered with thick decay, you can see that behind them is a smooth wall, like a concrete wall. Moreover, from the first time I climbed out of the escalator, it seems that it is specially for people to climb this sinkhole and the outside, what is it? At this time, he slowly turned to face the wall, and suddenly saw a symbol, as if it was spray-painted on the wall with paint or something, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be an arrow, pointing to his right, and looking along the arrow, there was actually a tunnel on the wall of this huge cylinder, perpendicular to the cylinder wall, and the entrance was boxy, and then drew an EXIT is a typical emergency exit from the underground garage.
Zhou Yu was very surprised, what was in there? Another Daitaimeng? Or a room full of snowflakes brave the world? Whatever, let's see. He tugged the rope, and it was no longer tugging. At this time, he held the upper end of the rope with both hands high, turned sideways and stepped on the wall with his feet, kicked a few steps to make his body swing on the wall, and when he reached the highest point, he turned and continued to swing backwards, and as he stepped on both sides with more and more force, the rope swung more and more, and got closer and closer to the hole. Needless to say, he learned this trick from Laura.
Finally, Finally, Zhou Yu approached the tunnel, he took his arm out of the rope loop in advance, jumped at the right time, added a forward roll, and threw himself into the tunnel.
Hehe, this bit of effort hasn't been wasted, has it? Zhou Yu joked with himself in his heart, but he didn't know what the three guys above would do when they found that the rope was empty. You don't think I've been eaten, go back and find a set of clothes to bury me, right? He muttered as he walked forward, the road ahead getting darker and darker, and his heart became more and more hairy. Suddenly, Zhou Yu hit a sour nose, it turned out to be the end, he just wanted to turn back, and found a faint light on the right hand, he walked straight along the light, turned left, and it was getting brighter and brighter, and even couldn't open his eyes. Your uncle, isn't it at night? Whoever takes the searchlight to shake Lao Tzu will fight with you. Huh, lights?
, Zhou Yu gasped, he looked up and saw two cast iron doors standing in front of him, and a large bulb that seemed to have five hundred watts was hanging on the lintel, which made him dizzy.
Lights? Electricity? I'm not dreaming, am I? Zhou Yuhao spared no effort, raised his right hand and gave himself a big ear scraper, yo hehe, this is called a pain. It's not a dream, so is it all true? Zhou Yu walked to the door, he looked up and down, left and right carefully, looked into the crack of the door, and couldn't see anything? If you look around at the interface with the wall, it's nothing? Touch it on both sides, and yes, it's an ordinary iron door. He jumped back, bent his legs slightly, his right palm forward, opened his five fingers, and said softly: "Sesame - open the door?" β
With a "ding" sound, Zhou Yu sounded like the sound of brushing the door open, and an iron door buzzed open at a 45-degree angle. , it can't really be a sesame door, right? Zhou Yu became more and more incredulous, and for a moment he seemed to feel that he had been eaten by Dai Taimeng, these were all conjectures when he was dying.
Zhou Yu glanced behind him, and then looked into the door, but he couldn't see anything. He tentatively walked towards the door step by step...
As soon as I entered the door, I heard several consecutive honks of the horn, and the lights above my head lit up one by one from near to far, and they turned out to be voice-controlled lights. Zhou Yu continued to walk, and after going around in a circle, more than a dozen lights were turned on. It's a boxy room with a tree in the middle? He rubbed his eyes, yes, it was part of a tree, the trunk of the tree. The branches and leaves seem to stretch upward, and the roots seem to grow in the ground.
Interesting, interesting. Zhou Yu probed his brain and looked at it. Suddenly, a voice said, "Hello, young man! This unexpected sound almost scared Zhou Yu to pee his pants. is the lingua franca of the Borderlands.
"Who? Talking? β
"I, my name is Sullivan, and I'm across the street from you!"
"You... Is it a tree? β
"Not exactly, I'm in the form of a tree."
"Isn't that still a tree?"
"You can understand it that way!"
"What are you doing here? Ah, Aso! β
"I'm the central system here!"
"Here? Is this an underground fortification? β
"It's not an underground fortification, it's a battleship."
"Battleship? Don't tease you! Zhou Yu laughed breathlessly.
"This is a battleship, and I am its artificial intelligence control system. Seven thousand three hundred and twenty-one years ago, it was forced to land here due to war. Because I use renewable energy, which is almost perpetual energy, I can keep it running until now. β
"And how do you know how to speak the language here?"
"In the beginning, the ship's soldiers went out, came back, talked, and I was able to learn that the system had an evolutionary and learning function. Later, slowly, over time, the soldiers died, and only I was left. β
"Oh? Oh... β
"Originally, I was dormant all along. Just now, the voice of your voice activated me again. Open the door, light it, talk, friends, have fun! β
Zhou Yu looked at the tree, scratched his scalp, frowned and thought: It's really smart enough, this thing actually has feelings and knows how to be happy? What the hell is this? However, since I can reverse time and space and come to this borderland, I believe that there is no person or thing that cannot come here, and if you come, you will be confused.
"What's inside, Asu, I still have something to do, my cousin's cousin's third sister's comrade-in-arms is getting married today, and I still have to go to the ceremony, so I won't bother and leave! Let's go first! As he spoke, Zhou Yu turned his head and walked back.
"Wait, friend. What is your name? Sullivan's voice was a little lost.
"Me? Call me Stephen Chow! Zhou Yu still didn't stop, he was almost at the door.
"Stephen Chow? Well, Stephen Chow, can you promise me one thing? β
Zhou Yu stopped, why are there people begging and doing things everywhere? Am I so much like shoveling for others? Zhou Yu stopped, slowly looked back at Sullivan, and did not speak.
"Stephen Chow, you see, I can't walk, this room is all I have. I don't have any friends either, and you're the first person to talk to me in so long. Today, I'm very happy. Ha ha! Sullivan seemed to be really smiling.
"Oh, Nice to meet you too! Stop going around in circles, say, what's the matter? β
"I just want to, when you have time, can you come to see me more and talk to me?" Sullivan said with some sadness at the end.
"Well, I promise you. If only I could live! The Governor was also a little lonely, he couldn't imagine that he could say such a thing to an artificial intelligence. They are all fallen people at the end of the world, why should they have known each other when they meet.
"Really? I'm so happy, Stephen Chow. Friend, is there anything you can help me with? Friends are supposed to help each other. β
"Help? Have you heard of Lord of Destruction? Zhou Yu turned his head and asked him.
"Nope!"
"Have you ever heard of Plane Reversal?"
"Nope!"
"Oh, then we're going to shake the people nearby, that's all."
"Friend, I can tell you're frustrated. Excuse me, what do you want most? See if I can help you? β
"What I want most is freedom β freedom." Zhou Yu said resolutely.
"Oh, cowardice imprisons the soul of man, hoping to make people feel free. The strong save themselves, and the saints cross people. Friend, I can't give you freedom, freedom can only be obtained with your own hands. But for now, I can give you a key to freedom. Sullivan said word for word.
"Keys?" The Governor was suddenly interested.
"See that door behind me?"
Zhou Yu walked around the tree, and sure enough, he saw an ordinary iron door behind him.
"Go in, and the dead man on the ground has the key in his hand."
Holding the keys? Zhou Yu's childlike heart is up, I want to see what kind of key it is? Bike-sharing? Or is it a courier locker?
He strode over and pushed open the door, which was a small cubicle, like a dressing room. The door light snapped on, and a man was half-lying in the corner between the cabinet and the wall. As soon as he saw someone, he scared Zhou Yu so much that his hair exploded. These days, I'm not afraid of giant snakes and I'm afraid of living people, do you say it's funny?
Zhou Yu looked around left and right, this was a skeleton, wearing heavy clothes such as spacesuits, and it looked extremely inconvenient to walk. Zhou Yu stared at the thing he was holding in his hand, and his eyes almost fell to the ground.
The man, holding a map in his left hand. Zhou Yu bent down to pick it up and opened it and took a closer look, the map was very delicately drawn, obviously it was drawn by a machine rather than by hand. He could clearly see the four continents from above, including borders, passages, oceans, cities, mountains, and rivers. What's even more amazing is that the products and characteristics of each geographical location are marked with lingua franca, such as the desert, pear, and cliff at the foot of the painting, and the location of the oasis is very clear, with the scorching heat, less food, and insect pests.
Zhou Yu didn't look at it much, and folded the newspaper-sized map into his arms. It's a treasure, he's grinning to the base of his ears. The old tree outside the door is really not a mouthful, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this is the key. Just as he was about to turn to go out, he noticed that the senior on the ground was clenching his fist in his right hand, and although there was no flesh, the five finger bones were still firmly clasped. What is it?
Zhou Yu clasped his hands together and recited a sentence of Amitabha. Then he raised his right hand, and with a click, he was startled, and the hand bone broke off from the lower arm, which frightened Zhou Yu and sat down, and the hand bone fell to the ground, and a ring rolled out of the palm of his hand, and stopped when it hit the wall. Zhou Yu picked it up slowly, and looked at the light, this ring hoop was inlaid with a bright red and bright red spar, the size of a broad bean, staring at the spar, it seemed that there was liquid flowing in it, and it seemed to be alive, it was amazing, and it was absolutely extraordinary. Zhou Yu put it in his hand, one, two, three, four are too thick, and it is just right to put it on his little finger! Hey, check it out!
He was in a good mood, strode out of the room and came to Sullivan and said, "What's inside, old Su, you are too polite." There's no need, there's no need, it's all buddies, look at it, don't worry, you say that's okay. I come to see you regularly, talk to you, talk to you, and spank with you, okay? β
"That's great, then Sullivan wishes you speedy freedom, my friend, Stephen Chow!" Sullivan said cheerfully.
