Chapter 140: Rescue Operations
"Crackle!"
The sound of organic matter bursting kept ringing. Qiao Hua started a fire with rotten leaves and branches, and pressed the long branch into the mouth of the dead fish. Then he took it in his mouth and baked it on the fire.
Soon the smell of the grilled fish began to escape in all directions, the black skin of the fish curled up as it was baked, and the white meat inside gradually turned brown, looking tender and crispy.
The instinct of the creature for food is always irresistible, plus Qiao Hua has to hold the stick of the forked fish with his mouth, the gap between the sharp teeth is too large, and the saliva that is constantly secreted will always involuntarily flow out of the mouth, soaking a large piece of firewood below.
Fortunately, the big dog was eating with relish at this time, and he didn't notice the embarrassment of this behemoth.
The little squirrel pit was holding the branch and looking down, but when he saw the rising flames, his eyes couldn't help but light up. And by the time the fragrant aroma of grilled fish entered its nose, the little squirrel couldn't help but let go of its hairy paws holding the branches, and jumped down from the tree in three or two steps.
"Squeak-"
The little squirrel slowly moved towards Qiao Hua, but his eyes looked at Creek, the big dog with his tail wagging from time to time. Seeing that the other party inadvertently raised his head, the kernel sat on the ground and did not move, and the hair on his whole body exploded unconsciously.
However, after a period of mental struggle, the allure of food prompted the little squirrel to jump forward again. The moment Creek lowered his head, the kernel suddenly swooped forward two or three steps, grabbed the roasted fish that the big dog had put aside, and then quickly fled back to the tree on his short legs.
Crick didn't react much to this, just wagged his tail and seemed to find it very funny.
This extraterrestrial civilization and the civilization of the planet tolerate each other. Peaceful coexistence between intelligent and non-intelligent beings is rare at any time.
However, such a phenomenon, which can be used to conclude that civilization has reached an extremely high elevation, appeared in the early years of the Cenozoic era, before the birth of human civilization.
"It tastes pretty good."
The big dog shook his head, squinted a few more times at the pits on the tree that he had eaten with relish.
The little squirrel had already bitten the whole head of the fish, and was now chewing intently, looking like it was kissing a fish's head. It's quite a horror and gore.
Crick chewed on the fish bones in his mouth as he turned his head to look around. In his eyes, everything around him seemed very novel, towering trees and green grass everywhere, all of which were not found on the planet Glitz.
And Qiao Hua, who had been eating fish silently next to him, was thinking about something else at this time.
With his understanding of this big dog, although this guy is an intelligent species that has evolved hundreds of millions of years longer than himself, he sometimes seems to be too simple, plus he has a big mouth, and often shakes out things that shouldn't be said.
So Qiao Hua began to find a way to get something out of the big dog's mouth. But here's what needs to be done now. It's about having a good relationship with this big dog.
"Didn't you say you wanted to know about the creatures of our planet? Now you can go around. ”
As a kind of canine, Crick has completely inherited the active nerves of his ancestors, and his tail immediately wagged involuntarily after hearing Qiao Hua's mention.
The dwarf tyrannosaurus then took the pit and acted as a guide for the big dog, introducing the situation on Earth as he went.
Actually, there's nothing to introduce. Qiao Hua was at most able to talk to the big dog about the height of the plants around him, as well as the poor knowledge of medicinal properties he knew. As for the strange names I have given to these plants, there is no way to translate them through the guò thinking information storage device.
The three animals stand on a raised piece of high ground, looking downwards.
Although the whole earth has just experienced a strong earthquake a few days ago. However, it did not affect the area much, except for the occasional cracks that looked like wounds in the bare loess ground. Elsewhere, there are no noticeable changes.
Qiao Hua guessed that the reason why the area where he was at the time had such a large crack should be because it was affected by the black iron-like substance below, which formed a resonance, so the destructive power of the earthquake was amplified.
Not far away, a herd of ancient giraffes was leisurely nibbling on leaves. A couple of giraffes happened to be looking this way. Three animals were spotted standing on top of the dirt slope and immediately roared with an alarm. The whole herd of giraffes ran away with a bang.
On the other side of the creek, two adult giant rhinos are protecting their cubs and drinking water. The crocodiles in the river were afraid of the huge body of the giant rhino, and although they saw that the food was close at hand, they did not dare to swim over.
"Quack!"
From time to time, birds of all sizes fly in the sky, some chasing each other. If they do, they aim at their prey on the ground. A single dive can lift a snake or other small animal into the sky.
Crick sticks out his tongue and wagging his tail with a frequency that indicates that he is in a very happy state.
"Your planet is full of life, and there are so many beautiful creatures. However, as more and more creatures evolve to the level of intelligence, such an environment will definitely be destroyed. At that time, it will enter a kind of black technological era, just like the planet Gliese. -- It would be nice if living things didn't evolve. ”
In Qiao Hua's view, Crick's meaning is somewhat groundless. I know exactly what the earth will look like in the future.
At this time, he suddenly remembered what the big dog said halfway last night, and hurriedly lowered his head and asked, "You haven't made it clear yesterday, what kind of state has your planet become after the chaos formed by breaking the ecological balance?" ”
Hearing Qiao Hua's inquiry, Crick's white tail suddenly stopped wagging and licked his nose before lying on the ground with a depressed expression on his face.
"Later, in order to solve the problem of ecological balance caused by the indiscriminate opening of gene locks, the Supreme Governor formulated strict regulations to restrict the behavior of intelligent creatures on the one hand, and on the other hand, collectively hunted down some non-intelligent creatures that had caused great damage to the ecological balance, and carried out a 'rescue campaign' for intelligent creatures and the entire planet's ecology."
"However, such large-scale hunting has caused other problems as the ecological chain has collapsed. In the end, after the highest scientific body of the planet declared the rescue operation a failure, most of the intelligent beings were forced to seal their bodies in the life capsule, and could only carry out conscious movements. ”
Qiao Hua stared at his big lantern-like eyes, and under the influence of this big dog, he also gently shook his stiff tail a few times.
"What do you mean by the activity of consciousness, don't your bodies usually move?" (To be continued......)
