Chapter 108: Strange Footsteps
Wei Yi sat in this peculiar waterless space, quietly feeling the fresh and pleasant fresh air in the air. All this he felt in front of him deeply shook Wei Yi's heart. This feeling, for Wei Yi, is completely indescribable in words.
In a world that has suffered a full-scale nuclear war, all the original species in nature have died on a large scale. Some of them are directly turned into a line of text recorded in a book, or a picture.
Even the various plants that have existed for hundreds of millions of years are still under fire, and there is not much left. The few remaining plants are all cherished and kept together. The world that was once full of peace has long since become history. In this day and age, everything in people's lives can only be maintained by relying entirely on high technology.
Air, water, plants. Even animals have become extremely rare.
The so-called fresh air that people breathe is also released from the oxygen manufacturing plant. The real fresh air has long since disappeared completely. The ecological oxygen system, which once relied on the photosynthesis of plants, has long become the history of people's books in the relentless fire.
And even if there are so few scattered plants, the little fresh air produced is pitiful. Everything is history. And there is nothing people can do but keep remembering the wonders of the natural world in their books. It's really hard to repair something that has been destroyed.
In Wei Wei's memory, he didn't even see a single textbook that didn't tell about the wonders that once existed in nature.
The miraculous abilities of the natural world that are recorded in books are forever merely pages of books in people's sight. Wei Yi never imagined that he could personally experience this kind of magical ability that is only recorded in books.
The photosynthesis of plants is really amazing. He couldn't help but keep touching the thin film of water not far in front of him with his hand. Wei Yi didn't know how this aquatic weed nest managed to do this. But he was really fascinated by what he was feeling in front of him.
The magic of the natural world made Wei Mi's inner curiosity and inquisitive heart gradually move. And it was precisely because Wei Yi had such a strong curiosity that he discovered a problem that few people would find.
He found that during the period when the bloodthirsty vine was raging, the oxygen in this world did not decrease because of this. The factories that are responsible for releasing oxygen for daily breathing have all shut down in the event of such a catastrophe. But Wei found that the oxygen he breathed every day was still as fresh, and it was not affected too much by the shutdown of those factories.
Moreover, not only that, Wei Yi also found that the fresh oxygen that used to breathe and always had a mechanical smell was now gradually becoming a little different. But what is the difference, Wei Yi can't say clearly. If he had to say something, he thought, it might be that it smelled fresher and fresher.
Wei Wei didn't care about such inconspicuous details at first. But now, he was in this strange waterless space, smelling the fresh air around him, and this tiny detail suddenly magnified infinitely in his mind.
Wei Yi suddenly felt at this time that maybe the appearance of the bloodthirsty vine was not entirely a bad thing. At the very least, he can now breathe fresh air that money couldn't buy before. Wei Yi felt that if such fresh air had appeared earlier, it might have been sealed in a bottle and marked with an extremely high price.
"Huh!" Wei Yi smiled silently and shook his head.
He suddenly remembered this sentence: "Our own human world, under our own unconscious destruction, has gradually become full of holes." In a few hundred years, it may ruthlessly abandon us. ”
Who said this, Wei Yi can't remember anymore. Maybe it's something in a scientific journal. For Wei Wei, looking at the scientific magazines with a sense of history can occasionally satisfy his curiosity about the wonderful world that once existed.
Wei Yu still remembers that when he was in school, his tutor once said: "We humans are destroying nature more and more, and one day, nature will definitely punish us humans." And all of this is what we humans have done for ourselves. ”
At that time, Wei Yi was extremely unimpressed with his mentor's words. He even secretly laughed at the sloppy old man. But now, as he smelled the fresh, rich, fresh air around him and felt the miraculous means of nature, his heart gradually began to believe the words of that guru.
During the time when Wei Yi was thinking wildly, Xiao Budian and his school of fish quickly pushed the aquatic plant nest where Wei Wei was located, and gradually swam out of the waterway where they were.
"Wow"
When Wei Yi was still thinking nonsense, the clear sound of water completely interrupted his thoughts. The receding water disrupts the pressure balance inside and outside the water film.
The river that broke through the barrier of the water membrane and instantly pounced fiercely towards Wei Yi. Wei Yi hurriedly took a deep breath, met the water, and plunged into it.
He was in the water, getting used to it a little. As soon as the current stabilized slightly, Wei Yi immediately swam out with his hands and feet. But before he could swim out, he was stopped by Xiao Budian, who was hurrying to him.
Although Wei Yi was very puzzled in his heart, he still lurked quietly in the water according to the meaning of the little one. After Xiao Budian stopped Wei Yu from surfacing, he swam out quickly.
Wei Yi saw from a distance that Xiao Budian was coming out of the water from time to time, as if he was observing something. Curious, he followed.
When he was still some distance above the water, he suddenly heard many footsteps. Those chaotic, disorderly footsteps quickly penetrated Wei Yi's ears through the river.
Wei Yi was overjoyed, he was about to surface and take a closer look at the situation outside. The sound of those footsteps gave him too much of a surprise. The rays of sunlight shining under the water were also faintly telling Wei Yi that above was the world outside the bloodthirsty vine.
But before Wei Yi could float up, he ran into Xiao Budian, who was swimming back quickly.
Xiao Budian saw that Wei Yi was about to float up, and seemed to be a little anxious. It quickly swam to Wei Mi's side, grabbed the corner of Wei Mi's clothes with its mouth, and pulled it down hard.
Wei Yi couldn't understand why Xiao Budian kept stopping him. He looked at Xiao Budian strangely and asked with his eyes.
But Xiao Budian didn't say a word at this time. It kept tugging at Wei Wei's clothes, preventing Wei Yi from floating upwards. Wei Yi was helpless, so he could only temporarily dispel the idea of floating.
He reluctantly listened to the chaotic footsteps again, smiled wryly and shook his head. Seeing that it was likely to be some compatriots passing by, but he was stopped by a fish and was not allowed to meet those people. Wei Yi felt that there was nothing more funny in this world than the thing he encountered.
Wei Yi was stopped by Xiao Budian, quietly suspended in the water, and waited quietly for a while. Just when he felt that he was about to lose his breath, Xiao Budian gave him a signal that he could float.
Wei Yi was like being amnesty. He hurriedly swam forward with both hands and feet.
"Whew, Whew, Whew"
Wei Yi stepped out of the water, gulping and greedily enjoying the fresh air outside.
The dazzling sunlight outside made Wei Yi's inner emotions completely relaxed.
He came out, he finally came out.
Although Wei Yi didn't know how Xiao Budian took him out of that place, he could now confirm that his guess and judgment were correct. Taking the waterway is indeed the most convenient and fast way.
But these thoughts of his mind, in the next second, turned into nothing.
Because, Wei Yi suddenly found that the sunshine he felt was not the real sunshine. He looked at the wall in the distance, with some consternation. The thing that Wei Wei called the "wall" was slowly emitting a soft light at this time.
Wei Yi shook his head vigorously. He looked intently and carefully. The place he found himself in turned out to be an underground cavern with a huge space. The walls of the cave and the top of the cave are slowly emitting an extremely soft light. That light, if you suddenly see it, you will really think that it is the sun. They completely illuminate the entire cave.
Wei Yi saw that the water surface he had surfaced was just a small lake that did not occupy too much of an area. On the surface of the lake, from time to time, there are one nest after another of aquatic plants rising and falling. Wei Yi saw that the aquatic plant nest where he had stayed before was also mixed with those aquatic plant nests. Among the many nests of aquatic plants, it appears inconspicuous.
In the distance, there are lush woods. There are many flowers and plants growing luxuriantly. Almost all the places that Wei Yu could see were completely occupied by those plants. There are only a few paths, winding among the plants. If Wei Yi hadn't looked carefully, he really wouldn't have found it.
"What is this place?" Wei Yi asked Xiao Budian suspiciously.
But the answer to Wei Yi was just the usual cry of Xiao Bu. Wei Yi spread his hands helplessly. Sometimes he really wants to get a translator over. With that kind of thing, maybe you can communicate with Xiao Budian and understand the thoughts of this little fish. It also allows this little fish to understand its own thoughts.
But he knew that he could only think about his ridiculous thoughts. Who would have gone out of their way to come up with such a thing?
"Well, what comes is safe. I'll go outside and take a look. You can help me bring that person with me. Wei Yi and Xiao Budian communicated carefully.
After he confirmed that Xiao Budian really understood what he meant, he asked Xiao Budian to quickly go back and pick up Li Mingyu. He himself, on the other hand, quickly went ashore and began to check everything around him.
When Wei Yi climbed ashore and wanted to look for the footprints left by those people before, he suddenly found that there were no footprints left on the ground. He touched the soft ground beneath his feet with some incredulity.
The ground here is sandy on the shores of most lakes. When Wei Yi walked on it, he would soon leave a long trail of footprints behind him.
But he found that on such a ground, there were no footprints other than him. And he had just heard the footsteps of many people walking under the water. According to the analysis of the voices Wei Yi heard just now, he felt that at least a dozen people had to walk together at the same time to appear so disorganized.
But at the moment, he really didn't find any footprints. Except for his own, there was not a single footprint of the others. This strange scene made Wei Yi involuntarily get goosebumps from head to toe.
