Chapter 33: Fate (1)

The lush forest, the chasing zombies, the young man limping with the branches......

The face of panic, the face full of fear of death and the determination to pursue life...... The injured footboard, the bloody soles of the feet, and the pain in the heart, Wang Qiang can still remember.

In the picture, the young man facing the death trial is himself!

"It can't be!" Wang Qiang roared and stretched out his hand, trying to smash the picture in front of him.

But...... But in the void, he grabbed a leaf.

Wang Qiang looked at the leaves in his hand in a daze, this is an ordinary tulipwood leaf...... I will never forget this kind of foliage, because the vast wilderness hills of the lower city are full of such trees.

"It's real, how is that possible." Wang Qiang's head is a little insufficient.

The hoarse voice sounded again, and the robe monster whispered, "If you are muddy again, you will miss even more." ”

Wang Qiang woke up, grabbed the leaves in his hand, and stared at the picture.

The chase continues, and the road is blank and thorny.

Wang Qiang can be sure that on this road, he dragged his bloody leg and walked every step.

Finally, the screen turned!

In the sky, a man in combat uniform falls from a tree, overwhelms a chasing zombie, and uses a saber to pierce the zombie's head.

Lu Ming!

Wang Qiang recognized this man with the word soldier almost written on his face at a glance, and he could never forget this man!

It was he who gave himself a second life.

In the picture, the battle is still continuing, Wang Qiang watched quietly, Lu Ming was bitten in the neck by a zombie, and blood spurted out of the wound.

Then, the self that turned back joined the fight, but was also bitten on the ankle by the zombies......

The battle finally ended, and he and Lu Ming leaned against each other, dying.

……

"Live, there is hope!" Lu Ming's voice echoed in his ears.

Lu Ming took off his military tactical jacket, took out the injection from his waist bag, and said that he was like a treasure.

The corners of Wang Qiang's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help shouting: "Insulator!" ”

In the picture, Lu Mingzheng said in a pious tone: "Insulator type 3, a healing agent, can kill the virus and curb the lesions......"

Seeing Lu Ming inject himself with medicine, Wang Qiang burst into tears.

"My name is Lu Ming, I am a soldier, I belong to the Organization for the Salvation of Mankind, and I have the great responsibility of saving all mankind and rebuilding civilization. Now, I'm going to entrust that responsibility to you......"

In the picture, Lu Ming, who is pale and weak, is looking at his young self with crazy and fiery eyes, and passing the torch.

"I can't do it, I can't save it. Promise me that in the future, if you have the ability, go to the south, look for an organization, and give this to them......"

Lu Ming took out a small hard drive and handed it to himself.

Wang Qiang relived this moment, and his heart tightened for no reason.

The picture came to an abrupt end.

The light in the air dissipated.

Wang Qiang's eyes were stunned, and he was stunned for a long time.

"You're snooping on my memories, aren't you?" Wang Qiang woke up and looked at the robe monster.

Hearing Wang Qiang's question, a distorted smile appeared on the bark mask on the robe monster's face: "If I'm spying on your memory, then how do you explain what you think is in your hand?" ”

Wang Qiang lowered his head and looked at the leaves in his hand.

Tulipwood, a tree found in the wilderness and hills around the lower city, has an extremely high canopy, making it a great choice for lookouts.

Back then, in the exploration team, I climbed tulipwood a lot, so I couldn't mistake its leaves.

Moreover, the leaves are moist and slightly cool in the hands, and there is no doubt about it.

"So, what's going on?" Wang Qiang frowned and asked.

The robe monster replied: "Wang Qiang, everything you saw just now is a reality that exists in the long river of time, and I am just going to turn back time to that time." ”

"Truth in the long river of time?" Wang Qiang chewed on the words, thinking about the connotation of these words.

"That is, what you humans talk about as 'real history'." The robed monster added.

Wang Qiang fell into deep thought, and even forgot the meaning of you humans in the mouth of the robe monster.

"You tell me the real history, and why?" Wang Qiang asked.

The robe monster sighed softly: "Once, in my muddy time, I knew that I would have such a discussion with someone, but I didn't expect that this day would come so early, and I didn't expect that the choice of fate would be so cruel, and I would choose a person with such low emotional intelligence to complete the conversation with me." ”

Wang Qiang didn't know why.

The robe monster said slowly: "Our meeting is in the dark, I am not only your ferryman, but also a witness to each other, this is fate. For the sake of fate, allow me to introduce myself. My name is as cumbersome as history, but you can be called Oak, or I can be called Daddy Oak. ”

As he spoke, the robe monster pointed to his oak mask.

"Daddy Oak! You are the founder of the World Salvation Organization! I know you! Wang Qiang exclaimed.

Daddy Oak smiled faintly and continued in a deep voice, "It's an honor to know me. ”

Wang Qiang stroked his beard and continued: "It is rumored that you have been missing for many years, and according to the inference of Brian and others, the insulator potion in the hands of Base No. 3 and Lu Ming has a lot to do with you. ”

Daddy Oak nodded, "I've always thought that Brian was a logical little guy, and he guessed correctly. ”

"So, my life can also be regarded as saved by you?" Wang Qiang felt his heart beat faster.

Daddy Oak stared at Wang Qiang and said word by word: "In a way, this is the case, but it is not entirely so. ”

Wang Qiang was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"You can talk about it slowly, and besides, I have a lot to tell you here, but fortunately the night is long enough." Oak Daddy said.

Wang Qiang listened intently.

"Where does it start? From the origin of the virus, or from the source of history? The story is too complicated for me to think about...... Oh, let's start with the beginning. ”

Daddy Oak conjured up a chair, then sat upright on the chair, crossed his legs, and then waved his golden tentacles, opening up a new historical image.

A picture of the stars appeared in front of Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang can swear that he has never seen such a magnificent star in his life.

The universe is so gorgeous and colorful, and the stars are complex and dazzling in time and space.

In front of me, a beautiful starry sky is active, and the starlight shows off its vitality, twinkling and twinkling, a thousand flashes, constantly spinning, grabbing people's minds.

"It's an ancient universe, it's gone, it's so much older than here, we've forgotten how to use chronology to find when it really existed. From a historical point of view, it has been annihilated, completely annihilated. ”

With Daddy Oak's explanation, the starlight in front of him suddenly exploded, thousands of beautiful stars exploded together, and the entire beautiful star map instantly collapsed and collapsed, becoming a fiery red nebula.

Wang Qiang's body shrank back suddenly, obviously frightened by the sudden explosion.

Then the picture turned, and from the fiery red vortex of the big bang stars, Wang Qiang keenly captured a trace of a living thing!

Yes!

Living creatures!

Linear creatures like wire worms rushed out of the maelstrom of the Big Bang. Although it is very difficult to see clearly, under the deliberate capture of the picture, Wang Qiang still sees the facts in front of him clearly!

"The Big Bang of the universe destroyed everything, but it also gave birth to life. If I had to say anything different about this ancient Big Bang, it was the birth of us. Daddy Oak muttered.

Wang Qiang's gaze suddenly looked at Daddy Oak, it was difficult to connect these bug-like creatures with the living people sitting in front of him.

"If earthlings like to use aliens to refer to extraterrestrial creatures, then we are also aliens." Oak Daddy said.

Wang Qiang looked at Daddy Oak, then at the linear insect creatures that were swimming in the universe screen, and then asked in an incredible tone, "So, tell me, how did you change from their ghost appearance to a human form?" ”

The linear worm in the picture is extremely slender, and the oak daddy in front of him is strange, but still human.

Daddy Oak said lightly, "Your answer is easy to answer. Both outward and inner changes come from evolution. ”

As soon as the painting style turns, the Big Bang universe disappears, and the picture comes to the perspective of a linear worm alien life.

I saw this insect life that traveled through the universe, traveled through countless planets, and finally plunged headlong into a large dark red planet.

The bugs break through the atmosphere of the dark red planet and enter the interior of the planet.

This is a huge desert planet, at least in Wang Qiang's opinion. Nematode life roamed around the interior of the planet, and no other life was found, but the nematode felt the unique energy contained in the planet, and its body slowly expanded, becoming thicker, and its color became dark red.

Later, the nematode life left the red planet and began its long journey again.

"We were born in the Big Bang and fed on cosmic energy, just like this people, who were overreplenished from a planet rich in metals, and began to show signs of evolution."

Sure enough, the red nematodes that roamed the universe gradually became hypertrophied and finally fell into a long slumber. As it sleeps, the insect's body grows larger and larger. Eventually, a crack appeared in the bug's exterior, and a whole new creature emerged from the bug's body.

But the appearance is still a bug.

However, the bug has a dark red color, two tails, and a large head.

Wang Qiang looked at this weird big-headed worm, and he really couldn't describe its appearance in words. Maybe from the perspective of human aesthetics, this guy is so ugly that he can't be described as aesthetic at all.

"At first, we were also ignorant and knew nothing about the world, but the eternity of life gave us enough time to open up our finger wisdom, and also gave us enough time to slowly master some extraordinary ...... Ability. Daddy Oak said.

"Extraordinary abilities? Like this? Wang Qiang pointed to the fat-headed and big-eared insects in the picture.

Daddy Oak's mask has a groaning expression, and then waves his tentacles, and the interior of the hall changes.

In the vast universe, countless linear insect lifeforms gathered in the void, as if discussing something.

"What is this doing?" Wang Qiang was puzzled.

Daddy Oak said, "Our species is lucky enough to live long enough, and over time, we have evolved and gradually become wise. When a certain number of intelligent people are reached, we have established a race in the universe in order to exchange ideas for exploring the infinite world with each other. In the picture, we are communicating. Communication is a necessary means to open civilization! ”

As he spoke, the image flew by at the speed of light again, and did not stop until it reached the image of a cosmic black hole.

Wang Qiang stared at the boundless darkness of the cosmic black hole, in the picture, a creature that had evolved to be like a gecko swayed into the black hole, and then, the picture changed, and the creature actually appeared in the time before entering the former black hole.

"This man is a true pioneer. It was the first to risk being swallowed by nature to cross the black hole, and successfully found the axis of time, becoming the first of its clan to begin to master the [Time Rewind]. ”

The picture changes again and again, in a black ocean, a creature with caudal and pelvic fins swims in the ocean. Suddenly, a bright spot burst out from the depths of the ocean, and the creature suddenly accelerated, hitting the white light, as you can imagine, the white light burst into light, and the creature was nowhere to be found.

Daddy Oak's voice rang out, "This one, known to our race as the 'Dimensional Discoverer'. Because of its great feat, we have found the dimensional space of the infinite plane. ”

"What is the dimensional space of the infinite plane?" Wang Qiang asked.

"It's a parallel world, where you are, in different dimensions, there are countless different worlds." Daddy Oak looked at Wang Qiang meaningfully, and said by the way: "There are countless you." ”

Countless mes? Wang Qiang's back was cold, and his throat trembled a little.

Tonight's communication, I know too many things that I never thought about.

Father Oak said lightly: "Human beings are a thinking race, but it is often difficult to see through the essence of the world, because human life is too short, so short that it is too short to pursue the true meaning, and the longevity is exhausted and the body dies. Brenitz of the Germans once proposed a ridiculous law of dissimilarity, arguing that no two leaves in the world are exactly the same. But if you think of leaves as a bunch of well-structured genetic codes, then they are no different. Similarly, although the structure of a human being is much more complex than that of a leaf, it is not much different if you look at it as a pile of code. So, from the point of view of the genetic structure and the code composition of the genetic structure, it is possible to find the same you. ”

Wang Qiang was dumbfounded, he didn't even know how to answer what Daddy Oak said.

The picture of the hall suddenly turned!

I saw a dark and gloomy cave world, a snake-like creature glowing with blue light was wandering in the cave, and every time the serpent swam through, the pale blue light illuminated one place. As the serpent cruises, the serpent finally finds a piece of its kind!

The two snakes met briefly and then began a long battle, and eventually, the serpent with its blue glow captured the other snake.

At this time, an amazing scene appeared!

I saw the winning big snake, and the soft skin on its abdomen grew two mouthparts at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The sharp mouthparts bit the captured serpent, and injected something, and soon, the captured serpent began to turn blue...... Wang Qiang found that this kind of blue was almost the same as the blue he saw in front of him.

"Our race will have eternal life if there is no accident, grasp the mystery of time, tear through space to find a parallel world, so we always have time to discover another self in the parallel world. It's hard, and not every parallel world has its own, but if you take the time, you can always find it. The one in front of him, Okroni Orsson, a pioneer in the search for life, was the first to discover another true self in the parallel world, and completely assimilated that self using its own pheromones. Daddy Oak said slowly.

"Assimilation...... Myself? Wang Qiang couldn't understand.

"In fact, you in each parallel world, they have their own circumstances and life processes, you find the exact same self from the genetic structure, beat their thinking is not subordinate to you, use your own pheromones to assimilate them, in exchange for their memories, and finally receive their bodies in their entirety." Daddy Oak explained.

Wang Qiang moved his lips and couldn't help asking, "What's the use of this?" ”

"We can tear apart space, turn back time, and get another version of ourselves, and you may not understand what a feat it is," said Oak Daddy. But I can tell you plainly, every time you discover yourself in a parallel world, and then completely assimilate him, you will be able to get a second life. ”

Wang Qiang grew his mouth, and it took a long time to say: "You are all immortal, what do you want a second life for?" ”

"Eternal life does not mean immortality, life is eternal, but external objects can still kill us, and sometimes, we are less fragile than humans. So, when we find that we can find another self, it means that we can have more life. Daddy Oak said slowly.

"What the fuck...... Perverted. Wang Qiang spat out.

It is inconceivable that, as Daddy Oak said, this species, which has mastered time and can travel through parallel planes, and has an inexhaustible life, is this not God or what?

Daddy Oak was silent for a moment, then waved his tentacles, changing the scene in front of him.

In the vast universe, a huge battle is breaking out, all kinds of huge warships are attacking in space, and countless spaceships are falling.

"It is precisely because of our unique endowment that we have forged the unruly personality of our race. The long life has made many clansmen feel the boredom of life, especially after getting more lives, many clansmen begin to stop cherishing themselves, and have never embarked on the road of interstellar warfare in pursuit of military dominance. Daddy Oak's voice became lonely.

Wang Qiang looked at the grand interstellar war in the picture, his eyes were demented, and the war of this level in front of him had completely surpassed the scale of any battle he had ever seen. Tens of thousands of steel ships have been routed in space, countless ship wrecks are floating in space, and the corpses of various alien races are also floating in space...... This environment has become a veritable space wasteland, where countless lives are buried and the crystallization of countless civilizations is buried.
