Chapter 20: A Different Look
Originally, it was planned that the next morning, taking advantage of the sparse population on the dust road, Wu Chen and Sha Xing went to Linglong Mountain together, who would have thought, before dawn the next day, Wu Chen was taken to the base camp by the awakening soldiers.
Sha Xing was excited all night, and he didn't sleep deeply, when the wake man came to take Wu Chen away, Sha Xing heard the movement and then didn't fall asleep, presumably today's action can only be invalidated.
A few hours later, Wu Chen came back from pacing outside the hospital, staggering, his eyes sunken, and sweating profusely.
Sha Xing took a few steps from the courtyard and asked him, "Can you still hold on?"
Wu Chen glanced at Sha Xing, and there was some residual anger in his eyes, but he replied in a hoarse voice: "I can't die, I'll go wash it." ”
Wu Chen took a cold shower, although the scene of the massacre on the island still shocked Wu Chen's sanity, but he was no longer as uncontrollable as before.
Ever since he heard Ning Yuanji say that Hetu Pavilion would select people on the Dust Road in the future, Wu Chen knew that the time had come to leave the Dust Breeze Road, and he hoped that it would be so specific that it would be enough to help him survive the heart tribulation.
When Wu Chen came out of the courtyard with a wet face, Sha Xing saw that his complexion was much better, and asked directly: "I wonder, you are young and have not dragged your family, what memory can they use to torture you like this?"
Wu Chen glanced at Sha Xing and pulled a sweat towel to wipe the water on his wet hair.
Sha Xing didn't expect Wu Chen to reply, and he didn't want Wu Chen to wipe two handfuls and stop and say: "I'm an orphan......"
Orphan?
Sha Xing was a little stunned, and after a moment of reaction, he had some speculation, could it be that the memory of this kid's torture was the scene of his parents dying?
After Wu Chen finished saying this, he continued to hang his head and wipe his head vigorously with a sweat towel, and suddenly heard Sha Xing say silently: "The memory of my torture is the night my wife and children were killed...... What I see in front of my eyes......"
Wu Chen stopped the movement in his hand, looked at Sha Xing, saw that his eyes were red, and took a few bites of the straw in his mouth.
"Who did it?" Wu Chen asked unconsciously.
Sha Xing spit the chewed straw on the ground with a snort, soothed the murderous emotion in his eyes, and said casually: "Enemy." ”
Wu Chen was silent, and put the sweat towel on the straw pile to dry.
"Do you know what good it is for them to torture us again and again?" Wu Chen asked, a question he had been puzzled about.
Sha Xing sat on the stone steps and answered: "In that closed room, there is a large curtain, I have noticed and seen it many times, there are fluctuations of red, red, green and green on it, I am afraid it is formed by intercepting our most painful memories.
As for what the purpose is, it is nothing more than about awakening the Alpha people, or about their energy. ”
Wu Chen listened, thinking back to the big screen he had also seen, and the fluctuations displayed on it were indeed somewhat similar to the fluctuations in the brains of the Alpha clan.
Sha Xing's inference is also good, awakening the tribe and harvesting the energy they rely on for survival are the two things that the Alpha tribe cares about the most.
Unlike human beings, whose survival depends on the internal breath of true qi and the reciprocal circulation of blood flow, the survival of the alpha tribe depends on energy.
At the peak of mechanical civilization in the last era, human beings relied on the energy that people are not familiar with now to endow intelligent robots, and the energy is inexhaustible, and the "life" signs of intelligent robots are endless.
It is said that decades ago, when the Afa were still closed in the city of Atlantis and did not interact with humans too much, the inexhaustible energy in the city of Atlantis could be used by the Afa people for generations.
But decades ago, the alien race, which was originally unable to invade the city of the Alpha tribe, suddenly subverted and mutated, and captured the city of Atlantis overnight.
The queen of the alpha tribe led her people to flee in a hurry, and the things that could be taken away were limited, and many advanced equipment of the mechanical civilization were buried under the clutches of the alien race, and the energy source in the city naturally could not be taken away.
Now the Alpha tribe is stationed in Dajingguo, and the city that the Holy Lord personally gave to the queen is once again named Atlantis City, but this Atlanta is not Atlantean.
After all, the Alpha people lack the extraordinary wisdom and creativity of human beings in the glorious era of mechanical civilization, and it is said that many advanced equipment can not be completely restored by the Alpha people.
And although the queen has never admitted that the Alpha lack a source of energy today, this is exactly what humans speculate.
"Can you go to Linglong Mountain today?" Sha Xing interrupted Wu Chen's distraction and asked.
Wu Chen fixed his mind and said: "Go, who knows what variables will be? He paused and said, "It's best to find out when the Hetu Pavilion is coming, and prepare in advance." ”
Sha Xing said that he understood that the matter of inquiring about the news was on him, but this kind of high secrecy was not easy to detect.
Sha Xing thought for a moment and suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said: "Wu Chen, I feel more and more that your mind does not match your age, I haven't been so calm when I'm your age." ”
Sha Xing officially called Wu Chen for the first time.
Wu Chen smiled slightly: "Really?" Actually, I think so, he thinks.
"Without further ado, let's go. Wu Chen glanced at Sha Xing and walked towards the outside of the courtyard, and Sha Xing followed behind him and strode to catch up.
Walking on the road to Linglong Mountain, some of the Alpha non-awakening people I met along the way, some of whom knew Wu Chen, and occasionally they wanted to greet them, and Wu Chen responded with two words.
But those non-awake people who wanted to greet Sha Xing, Sha Xing did not squint, and ignored them as if they were walking through the air.
"You don't pay attention to any of them?" Wu Chen couldn't help but ask beside Sha Xing.
Although he didn't know Sha Xing's script, there were only two baits on this island, and those non-awake people he was not familiar with must be the people in Sha Xing's script.
Sha Xing said coldly: "Say a few fixed words to these fools, and let you try to say it for the next three or five years, see if you still want to say it." ”
The bait on the dust road, whether it is a death row prisoner or a spy sent by various forces, has an extraordinary mind.
At first, there was a lot of anger on the dust road, and the sound of killing shook the sky from time to time. And all the trapped people tried hard to get out of here.
But as time passed, the old bait saw more and more of their fellow decoys torn to the ground by the scrapped Afa people, and it was difficult to leave the whole corpse, or they were tormented by the demons and died by themselves.
The bait, which was originally full of anger, also began to embark on a more and more restrained road.
The Alpha tribe has not yet been awakened, but the timidity in their hearts has been awakened.
I began to understand what it meant to be afraid of death.
Hearing Sha Xing say this, Wu Chen also felt the same way, so he was silent and didn't speak.
Sha Xing said again: "Unlike you, you can still have a confidante to talk to, the youngest girls in my script are older than me!"
Hearing this, Wu Chen couldn't cry or laugh a little, it was really too boring......
The two walked all the way to Linglong Mountain, Wu Chen led Sha Xing to light the torch where the torch was stored in the mountain, and walked to the depths of the mountain.
This way is hooked and hooked, and Sha Xing thinks he is a little confused. He is not a road idiot, on the contrary, he thinks he is a good way-seeker, but the Linglong Mountain can be described as a complete labyrinth.
There was very little difference between each earthen pillar or stone wall, and if it weren't for the extreme familiarity, Wu Chen's footsteps in front of him would not have been so sure. Sha Xing followed closely behind, muttering in his heart.
After about a quarter of an hour, Sha Xing was muttering, and saw a thick mist appear in front of Wu Chen holding a torch, and the gray mist was like a cloud in the sky, blocking the view from looking ahead.
"Hey, why is there suddenly fog in this mountain?" Sha Xing felt uneasy, feeling that the fog that appeared out of thin air seemed to be a bit evil.
Wu Chen didn't respond, only shook the torch in front of him, as if he had drawn a circle and walked into the thick fog, Sha Xing hesitated a little later.
Hearing Wu Chen's urging voice in the fog: "Follow close!"
He clenched his fists, although he was worried that Wu Chen intended to harm him, he still gritted his teeth and walked into the fog.
The moment I passed through the dense fog, there was a feeling of sudden dream, and the seemingly thick and thick fog passed through in just a moment, which was very strange.
Behind the clouds is a different story.
