Chapter 18: Showdown
The ship slowly landed on the snow, making a loud roar that was enough to cause ringing in the ears. Everyone present covered their ears with their hands. The ship cracks the ice on the ground, and the red lights from the signal tower at the top of the mountain shine back and forth. The searchlights burst one by one under the agitation of the sound waves. The circular spaceship was fifty meters in diameter, its hull was silvery-white, without any traces of writing, and it glowed with white light.
Everyone held their breath and waited for the ship's door to open.
With a whoosh, an opening opened from the silver side, and out of it came a pale, thin and tall man. They all wore earrings, had no clothes on their bodies except for ornamentation, and looked exactly the same.
They walked slowly to the side of the ship and scanned the crowd.
"Shoot with everybody ready!" Captain Hu said to the soldiers
The clone looked at the soldiers gathered around.
"Don't! Don't!" Frank stopped and said
Frank then walked over to the clone and knelt down, handing him a letter in ancient Eskimo language.
As soon as the clone reached out, the letter flew into his hand. The clone looked down at the letter and said nothing, glancing at each other as several of his companions.
They seemed to understand each other's meaning in an instant, it turned out that the words they used were the ones used by the original ancestors on Earth, which had been brought to Gliese 581d with migration, and were now on the verge of extinction.
"Hello, friends from Gliese 581d, I don't know how to call you, it's more appropriate to call you friends for the time being, by chance I saw a drifting bottle note from the missing cargo ship to collect the sea, the words on the note came to me, as if everything was predestined, I am a word researcher, full of curiosity about words, the charm of words fascinates me. I read from the note that you need help, and I wonder what the flock means to you. What does the disappearance of the E562 crew and soldiers have to do with you? Please tell us your purpose and if you need help, we are here to help. Frank expressed it in the letter in ancient language.
The clones were surprised to find someone on Earth communicating with them in their familiar language for the first time, and one of them walked up to Frank and glanced from head to toe, and the clone began to communicate with Frank with brain waves:
"We came from the last wave of civilization on the earth, and survived on the Gliese 581d two light years away from here, and now our genes are damaged by the natural environment, and in order to repair the genes, we have to go back to our former homeland, here, to find the original map of the genes__ sheep, and we are far from finding the sheep that match our genes, so we have been looking." Clone formulation
"If it's looking for sheep, why are those missing crew members frozen?" Liu Fei asked
"As soon as we arrived on Earth, the spacecraft detected the flock signal, so we flew along the target, during which we sent some signals to the freighter, but we did not receive any feedback, we tried to approach, and found that the ship was instantly hit by a ray of light, and the spacecraft quickly evacuated the scene."
"So, you didn't take the freighter away, so what else? What's going on with those Eskimos? ”
"No, we received a signal to come here, those fur-clad humans were the first humans we met when we came to Earth (descendants of our ancestors to be exact), there is a part of the blood in their bodies that is similar to ours, we saw that they found out through communication that they still have the ancient spell to open the door to practice, so we asked them to help find you, through the gate of time, you can see us. We are in a parallel world. ”
At this time, Liu Fei already felt that there was a problem with his intuition.
"Why did we see the illusion that day? An identical self? Liu Fei then asked
"That's not an illusion, that's just you in a parallel world, everything you see has happened, he's there, this is the gate of time, everyone who comes in will see themselves, some people are crazy, some people are stupid, and some people will die for the past. Anyone who enters a parallel world will doubt what they see, and neither will you, without exception. ”
"What about you?"
"We arrived at Gliese 581d and found a planet, from where we extracted a time coagulant from a petrified creature, and all humans in Gliese 581d were born with this vaccine, so that they could never see themselves in the time gate."
"What are those signals?"
"That's a signal sent outside the star, the source is not here, there are fifteen points on Earth right now."
"Don't trust them, they killed everyone on the freighter, as well as my companions." Hu said
At this moment, Hu Yihu, who had been preparing for a long time, was waiting for the best opportunity, and he ordered all the soldiers to pull the trigger and shoot. In an instant, gunfire rang out throughout the valley, and the ship's surroundings were filled with bullets, but the clones did no harm. They looked at the angry soldier and commanded with their hands.
All the bullets stopped in the air, and then the bullets quickly returned to the chamber of the guns in their original paths, and the fire from the bullets burned the soldiers' clothes.
"We don't want to be at odds with you."
Then the flames of the soldiers were burning, and the flames were getting bigger and bigger, and there was no water source around them except ice, and the soldiers who were not burned tried desperately to extinguish the flames with their clothes, but it was too late. I saw that the soldiers were burned to death in front of everyone's eyes. In an instant, Hu Yihu, who was on the side, seemed to have noticed that this scene had happened when he first arrived here, but they met an Eskimo, and he realized that the illusion he had seen before had become an allegory of the present. He was so angry and helpless that his brothers were buried one by one under his nose.
"We don't want to be evil, we will return to where the evil comes from, this is the instruction given to us by our ancestors, and everyone must obey it, without exception." Clone formulation
"Hahahaha......" At this moment, Hu Yihu laughed wildly, with tears in his eyes.
"Brothers, I'm sorry!" He drew a pistol from his waist and prepared to shoot it at his head...... At this moment, the gun in his hand instantly turned into liquid.
"Death is just a new beginning, and you may not be as good as you are in the other world."
"Why?" Captain Hu asked rhetorically
"Because you have no memory, everything is like the ice of the earth......"
"If you want to memorize what to do, I'd rather have no memory, just be a person." Hu Yihu said
After hearing this, the clone immediately tapped it with his finger at the door of Hu Yihu's head......
After five minutes, everyone was frightened by Hu Yihu in front of them.
