XXXVIII. Maomao Planet
"Damn Akang, if you don't come out again, Lao Tzu will greet your mother! Greetings to your whole family! Where the hell did you die? No matter how good Ding Rui's temper was, he finally began to scold.
He had been taken by her to jump over Gasley when she was fighting an alien killer, and he understood that the air jump was the same as teleportation, and it only took 0.02 seconds to jump over no matter how far away. But this time, Ah Kang took him to the empty jump for a longer time, a full minute, and the biggest difference was that after the empty jump came out, he found that his clothes and pants were all gone.
He envisioned that if the place of the mid-altitude jump was not a starry space, it would be an alien planet with strange scenery. But when he came out, he was in a large steel plate space, with a circular platform in the center, and he appeared alone on the high platform, and Akang was nowhere to be seen.
If it's empty, it's just a bare ass. The problem was that there was a clump of furry creatures the size of a blue ball, flickering and staring at him with a pair of eyes open.
It's hard to describe this creature, the shape is a perfect circle with fluffy hair, although the hair is erect, but very soft, the front is a pair of big eyes, more black and white, just like the kind of beautiful girl's eyes in the cartoon, this creature gives people the first feeling is very cute, you can hardly tell where it is cute from the appearance, but it is very cute like a furry toy. Ding Rui remembered the kind of alien creature in "Maomao Planet", although it was not made into a movie, he estimated that it was like this.
The metal field was bigger than a football field, and it was full of motionless furballs, thousands of them, motionless, except for the occasional open eye or curious glance in his eyes to let him know that they were all living creatures. Ding Rui is not a particularly shy person, but he is staring at thousands of pairs of eyes at the same time with his bare buttocks, how can he not be comfortable, he squatted on the platform with two points on his chest and looked left and right, wanting to wait for Ah Kang to appear and ask what happened, but ten minutes have passed, and Ah Kang has not appeared. That's when he scolded.
After scolding for a while, Ah Kang still didn't appear, no way, he couldn't stay there all the time, he saw a steel door in front of him, with a handle on it, and tried to jump off the high platform.
Those hairball creatures didn't seem to be very bold, and when they saw him jump down, the nearest few squirmed a few times, and they looked very funny, and the hairballs twisted and twisted, but their eyes never left him, and every time he took a step, the hairballs near them jumped away, and gradually made way for him.
Ding Rui felt like he was an ornamental animal at this time, and finally he couldn't stand the curious eyes of the hairballs, and said angrily: "What are you looking at?" Haven't you ever seen an earthling without clothes? ”
"I haven't seen it." The nearest hairball spoke, startling him, the hairball's voice was sharp and thin, sounding like a little girl babbling, of course, Ding Rui has the translation equipment of the marriage agency, and what he heard was the translated voice, but it was basically close to the original sound, indicating that this creature not only has a cute appearance, but also a cute voice.
He boldly asked, "What planet are you creatures?" ”
"Planet Mao." The first hairball to talk to him.
"True to its name." He crouched down and asked carefully, "What do you call you?" ”
"Zach."
"Okay, Zach, can you get me some clothes?"
Furball Zack bounced on the ground a few times, came to the side of a few companions, and then discussed something in a language he didn't understand, and finally Zack turned around and said, "Make your wish come true." ”
I saw Zack as the leader, three hairballs formed a triangle, Zack seemed to breathe with his body, his body swelled up with a sizzling sound, and the long hairs stood upright, and finally the three hairballs made a "ah-hiss-" at the same time, and the eyes emitted electric light, and the three electric lights staggered in the air, crackling and opening a door to another dimension.
"Wow!" He was amazed for a while, the seemingly cute and weak furball actually had this ability, but before he could finish his exclamation, he immediately shouted, "Hey, hey...... Not so much - oops! ”
Thousands of clothes from the gate of another dimension were overwhelming, burying him underneath like a hill, leaving only one of his hands convulsing in pain outside.
After a long time, he crawled out from under the pile of clothes with great effort, and looked helplessly at the hairballs, who were still staring at him with curious eyes, and he began to rummage through his clothes, and found that there were all kinds of clothes, men and women, outer and inner clothes, winter and autumn clothes...... It seems that a clothing warehouse has been moved to another dimension.
He found a suit that fit better and put it on, and finally felt better. Said to Zack: "Although it almost crushed me, thank you." ”
Zach opened a pair of cute eyes and said nothing.
"Now, who can tell me where Akang is?"
"You mean: Kant, Barria, Edmarcy, Dolanos, Archipherque, Beta...... (200 words omitted here)" Zach said after a long name, "Is that him?" ”
Ding Rui gasped, Ah Kang had said that the names of liquid lifeforms are very long, and they are really long enough, and when he heard the word Kang at the front, he nodded, "It should be, right?" ”
Zack said: "This is the neutral zone of the Interstellar Federation and the Feya Alliance, and he can't come." ”
"How so? He said he was going to take me to prepare for a blind date. ”
"Oh? Are you the earthling who caused the diplomatic crisis between the Star Federation and the Feya Alliance? Ding Rui? ”
"I am, please take care of me. Can you answer my question? ”
Zach twisted his body, and Ding Rui estimated that he (or she, who later learned that the creatures of Maomao Planet were dioecious) was shaking his head, "We don't know how you got here, we just heard a noise saying that a strange creature had descended, like a newly discovered earthling, so come and see the fun." ”
"This ......," he bewildered, "there's no reason." Do you know Akang? ”
"Yes, he's a bailiff and law enforcement officer of the Life Court, and a liaison officer in the Neutral Zone, and he told us not long ago that he was going to Akilan through the Neutral Zone."
"And how did he disappear?"
"Are you sure this isn't the destination of his empty jump?"
Ding Ruihuan looked around, shook his head and said, "I don't think so." ”
"Is there anything unusual about the empty jump?"
"I'm not sure, it seems like there is, I've been taken by people in the air before, but this time I stayed in a dark space for a long time, at least a minute."
"There's only one possibility." Zach said: "He's intercepted in the middle of the jump, and he's knocked out of the instant space, and you're floating here." ”
"Can an empty jump be intercepted?"
"Of course you can, but only if the Force is stronger than the Empty Jumper."
"Why would someone else intercept him?"
"Probably trying to stop you from going to Akilan. There are many such people, such as the warmongers of the Ferro Empire, if you can't reach Akilan in time and anger Empress Sukaran, she may join forces to declare war on the Star Alliance. ”
"Is that so?" He frowned.
"I'm not sure, but it's possible." Zach Road.
He crouched down again, "Zach, you look like kind and peaceful creatures, you're going to help me, aren't you?" ”
"This is a neutral zone, and we don't help each other." Zach twisted his body again, refusing.
"Listen Zack, I need to rush to Akilan as much as I can, and do everything I can to stop this war, if there is a war that may affect your neutral zone, you don't want to do that, do you?"
Zach said, "Only our king has the right to decide whether to help you or not." ”
"Shall I see your king?"
"He's taking a nap, you'll have to wait."
"The people of your planet still take a nap?" He smiled dumbly, looked at the door, and said, "Can I go out and have a look?" ”
"No, only this place is a terrestrial environment, if you go out, the gas and temperature outside are not suitable for the earthlings, you will die."
"You know I'm coming? Built early in the morning? ”
"It's not us, it's Kang......" Zach didn't bother to read Akang's full name, it seems that the biological memory of Maomao Planet is extraordinary, and every word is good, "He built it, as a transit station during the empty jump, originally you only had to stop for a while and go directly to Akilan." ”
Ding Rui thought for a while and said, "According to this reasoning, does it mean that Ah Kang was intercepted, so he disappeared during the empty jump, but I still arrived at the intended location?" ”
"You came with a strong Force shield on you, I guess Akon was attacked, and then sent you here with all his might, but I suffered misfortune myself." There seemed to be regret in Zack's tone, "Presumably there must be more than one bad luck." ”
"Do you think Ferro's people did it?"
"All I said was that it was possible."
"Why can't it be Akiran? Perhaps Empress Sukaran also had militants under her command who wanted to provoke her into war. ”
"It can't be!" Zach affirmed, "Except for the Empress, Akilan's other creatures have no thoughts. ”
"No thoughts? How can it be? ”
"They are born a vertical authoritarian social system."
Ding Rui shook his head, "I don't understand, can you tell me in detail?" ”
"It's like the social structure of the earth's ants and bees, get it?"
