Chapter 219: Paradise Lost
The fruit trees here are extremely luxuriant. Fruit trees of various varieties can be found everywhere. For example, apple trees, pear trees, cherry trees, and many more. Even many fruit trees, which have long been extinct in the outside world, grow here in large numbers. Everywhere.
Wei Yi took Shen Xiaoman to pick the ripe fruits on the tree as he walked. From time to time, rotten and spoiled fruit appeared on the ground, and when they stepped on it, the juice flowed all over the ground.
The sound of running water in the distance made the place feel more peaceful and quiet. The occasional squirrel adds a bit of vibrancy to the forest. It's a lost paradise. Wei Yi looked around, and even forgot about himself in a trance.
"Brother Wei, where are we?" Shen Xiaoman asked curiously as he looked around. Everything here, for her, is full of novelty.
Wei Yi shook his head. He didn't know what it was. Since the end of the World War, almost the entire surface of the earth has been destroyed. There are only a few plants that have been preserved with great effort.
But there are very few places like this that can form a certain scale and be so quiet and peaceful. At least Wei Yi had never heard of it. He looked up at the top of the glowing cave overhead, and muttered, "I don't know." Maybe this is not the world we live in. Perhaps, it is underground. Or maybe it's somewhere else you know. I don't know. ”
Wei Yi said, smiling self-deprecatingly. Books are hated less when they are used. He now regrets that he didn't study well in the first place, otherwise, he wouldn't know anything now.
"Let's go, let's wash these first, and then we'll talk about it when we're full." Wei Yu greeted Shen Xiaoman, followed the sound of the water, and slowly walked towards the distance.
The source of the sound of the water is a small stream that meanders down a low hill. The water is crystal clear and looks very clean. Before Wei Yi could walk over, Shen Xiaoman ran over first. She laughed merrily as she ran. The laughter is clear and clear, just like the mountains and the water here, which is very pleasant to listen to.
"Slow down, be careful not to fall." Wei Yi shouted loudly at Shen Xiaoman.
"It's fine." Shen Xiaoman waved his hand towards Wei Yi, quickly ran to the creek, picked up the water and drank a few big sips.
"This water is so sweet. Brother Wei, come on. Shen Xiaoman shouted happily at Wei Yi.
Wei Yi smiled lightly and walked over in a few steps. He handed the fruit to Shen Xiaoman to clean, and took a few big sips of the stream water himself. The stream water is sweet, fresh and has a faint fragrance. Wei Yi slammed his mouth, feeling an unrestrained pleasure for the first time.
After having eaten their fill, they began to explore the mysterious place along the edge of the stream. But this place is too big, Wei Yi took Shen Xiaoman for nearly a day before exploring a small place.
Looking at the dense plants in the distance, Wei Mi's scalp was slightly numb. At this pace, when will they find out what the hell this is?
Luckily, though, while there are some animals from time to time, there are no dangerous creatures. For example, snakes, beasts, and other creatures, Wei Yi has never seen them along the way.
After nearly a day of searching, Wei Yu found that the top of the cave above their heads was not always illuminated. Light changes, just like the outside world.
Just now, the light above Wei Yi's head had gradually dimmed. When the light at the top of the cave dimmed, many fireflies suddenly appeared in the whole forest. They flew in dense patches and flew slowly to the top of the cave, and lay on it, moving slowly.
From Wei Yi's point of view, looking from a distance, these fireflies above their heads seemed to have become stars in the night sky. Such a scene is too beautiful to describe in words.
Wei Yi looked up at this scene and was a little surprised. "What kind of place is this? Who created it? Wei Yi asked secretly in his heart.
That night, they found a safer place in the woods and spent their first night in this mysterious place. The next day, before it was fully dawn, Wei Yi was woken up by a noisy bird call.
Countless birds, flying from nowhere, gathered not far from Wei Yi, chirping happily. They seem to be in a concert. You sing, I'll appear again. The sound of birdsong echoed through the cave crisply and loudly.
The voice was heard far away, but it didn't take long for it to echo again. Wei Yi was lying on the ground, opening his sleepy eyes slightly, and was thinking about whether to continue squinting for a while or get up immediately, when he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
He hurriedly turned his head to take a look, and suddenly found that Shen Xiaoman was gone. Last night, he built a temporary bed for Shen Xiaoman in the tree, but at this time, there was no figure on the temporary bed.
Wei Yi hurriedly rolled over and got up. He took a quick look around him. There were no signs of a fight on the trees, and there were no signs of snakes or other attacking creatures crawling.
There were no signs of human falls under the tree, except for a large messy footprint. And the size of these footprints is almost exactly the same, it seems to be Shen Xiaoman's own footprints.
Wei Yi carefully examined the traces on the ground, quickly judged a direction, and quickly traced the past. He followed the footprints on the ground, traced all the way, and soon found Shen Xiaoman.
Shen Xiaoman stood beside a clearing in a daze, stretching out his hand as if he was caressing something. As soon as Wei Yi saw her, he breathed a sigh of relief. He walked over a few steps and asked, "Xiaoman, what are you doing here?" ”
Shen Xiaoman was slightly stunned when he heard Wei Mi's voice, and then turned back to Wei Mi and said, "Brother Wei, you come to see this." Is this a wall? ”
Wei Yi was stunned, raised his eyes and took a quick look, but saw nothing. He asked, somewhat confused, "What wall?" I don't see anything, huh? ”
"This. Come and touch it, it's right in front of me. Shen Xiaoman said, patting the air in front of him with his hand. A few faint voices quickly reached Wei Yi's ears.
Wei Yi was startled and quickly walked over. He reached out and touched the air in front of Shen Xiaoman, and suddenly found that there was really a wall running across in front of them.
"What's, what is this?" Wei Yi muttered to himself in confusion, "How can you obviously touch it, but you can't see it at all?" ”
As he spoke, he turned his head sideways and asked Shen Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, how did you find out here?" ”
Shen Xiaoman scratched his hair and said, "I couldn't sleep last night, and when I got up in the middle of the night, I suddenly saw a far away, as if something was shining, so I ran over to take a look." As a result, I got lost somehow. I just had to go back here and stay there until I left. ”
After hearing this, Wei Yi grinned and smiled. He carefully touched the wall in front of him, thought to himself for a while, and said to Shen Xiaoman: "In this way, let's look along this wall on both sides." You might be able to find an exit. ”
Shen Xiaoman nodded, and followed Wei Yi to investigate carefully. This wall is very strange. Wei Yi touched it carefully with his hand and found that it was very elastic. Through the walls, Wei Yi saw the boundless plants. It looked like the other side of the wall was no different from the one they were on now.
Wei Yi groped along the wall, and took Shen Xiaoman to slowly walk along the wall into the distance. If this is really just a wall, there must be an entrance and exit somewhere. Wei Yi carefully analyzed this possibility, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very possible.
They walked a long distance along the transparent wall, but the situation around them remained unchanged. And what made Wei Yi feel very puzzled was that they never saw any entrances and exits. And this transparent wall also seems to be boundless.
Wei Yi stopped in confusion and stood in place and thought carefully. The more he thought about it, the more strange it felt. On the other side of the transparent wall, it was always the same as the environment in which they were located. The scene hasn't even changed much.
This made Wei Yi suddenly think of a possibility. He hurriedly turned sideways to Shen Xiaoman and said, "Xiaoman, you wait for me here." I'll come when I go. ”
Shen Xiaoman nodded and stood in place very obediently. Wei Yi carefully discerned the direction and ran towards the stream in the distance. He hurried to the edge of the stream, took off his jacket and threw it into the water. It only took a moment for Wei Yi's shirt to get soaked.
Wei Yi carried his soaked clothes and quickly ran back to the place where he was separated from Shen Xiaoman. He ran to Shen Xiaoman's side, reached out and touched it, and after finding the location of the transparent wall, he quickly wiped the transparent wall with his soaked clothes.
When Wei Mi's wet clothes wiped a large transparent wall in front of Wei Mi, Wei Mi was surprised to find that the picture displayed on the transparent wall had changed. On the other side of the transparent wall, it's no longer what it was shown.
The scenery that was exactly the same as where Wei Yi was, as Wei Yi wiped it, slowly disappeared. Instead, there was a scene that made Wei Yi feel creepy.
What unfolded in front of Wei Yi's eyes was a vast space. This space is boundless, and there seems to be no end in sight. Countless huge vines are growing wantonly in this space.
Those thick vines, like huge vines dozens of stories high, startled Wei Yi to retreat again and again. He pulled Shen Xiaoman up and ran quickly. He didn't have a clue, he just ran quickly with Shen Xiaoman all the way.
"What kind of place is this?" Wei Yu asked himself suspiciously.
He took Shen Xiaoman all the way and ran a long distance before he stopped out of breath. Wei Yi lay on the ground weakly, staring at the top of the cave that glowed above his head, his heart full of questions.
