Chapter 182: Fear

"Fear is born from the unknown, and wisdom is born from the unknown."

"The unknown is not contrary to wisdom and truth."

The reptile could not support it, and fell to the ground, and the original body was spread out on the ground like a shadow or fluid.

Countless eyes popped out of his muddy body, and turned again to escape from his body.

She was still so kind, even when it came to herself, she still did not hesitate to give answers and truths.

These words are the answers to the questions that the reptile finds from the vast and complex, incomprehensible, and unbearable information.

She tries to show the reptile the god of fear, and the reptilian collapses.

She tries to show the existence of the 'unknown' to the crawler, but when the 'unknown', the extreme terror, which seems to surpass everything, is about to appear.

But she stopped abruptly, and the truth shown to the crawler, the countless complicated information instilled, also stopped,

It also prevented the body of the reptile from collapsing further.

"And what about you, are you contrary to fear? Do we have an opportunity to cope with our fears? ”

The body of the reptile spread out on the ground, like mud, endured all kinds of pain, barely supported its consciousness, and asked the question again.

"Poof...... Poof......"

Some subtle sounds bloom on the body of the reptile,

His body was already collapsing, like a balloon that had been punctured,

Something filthy, bloody, and polluted kept flowing out of the body,

His body began to dry up.

He heard it again, and sensed the answer to the question,

It's just that this information is still beyond his ability to bear.

"The unknown is the truth that has not yet been explained, the wisdom that has not yet been discovered, not the fear."

"Wisdom and fear exist at the same time in distant places and in near places."

"When wisdom comes, fear will dissipate."

"Fear, in parallel with calamity, doom, and pestilence, appears before death."

"Wisdom will dissipate when death comes."

"When all truth and wisdom are present, fear does not exist."

This is the reptile trying to recognize the answer,

He only felt that his insignificant consciousness was going to be washed away here.

However, the answers they received confirmed their conjectures.

As an all-knowing, her authority did conflict with fear.

Perhaps they can use the power of wisdom to temporarily resist the power of fear,

I don't want to win, I just hope that I can stalemate, until the power of the dream fades.

Realize their plans.

"Thank you...... Great You, the glory of wisdom. ”

The reptile spoke at her again.

She still didn't make any movements, still staring at the dead flowers in the flower garden,

A little farther away, waiting for the ugly cow investigator on the periphery to pause,

With his head down, he gathered all his perceptions, and was not far in front of the reptile,

The reptile that didn't pay attention to her, but just collapsed and her consciousness was seriously affected, and took it away from the area again.

……

"Ahem...... Her authority is indeed in conflict with fear......"

Even after leaving that area, the body of the reptile is still crumbling.

In his consciousness, the unbearable great figure is still squeezing his cognition and reason.

However, he still barely supported it, and informed the ugly cow investigator of the information he obtained.

The ugly cow investigator nodded, motioned to write it down, and then reached out and dug out two tentacles that were gradually growing out of his abdomen, and threw them on the ground to annihilate.

Even the information conveyed by the reptile at the moment still carries some pollution.

"Ugly Cow Investigator, the next few disasters may need you to deal with for a while,"

The reptile controlled, simply shadowing the twisted and crumbling body, but even if it was shadowed, some eyeballs still fell from time to time in the shadow of the avatar.

has endured too much information that cannot be beared, and almost confronted the existence of no less than two 'gods',

The reptile is now on the verge of losing control, and its consciousness is like a drop of water in the ocean, and it is really difficult to maintain its original cognition.

"You rest."

The ugly cow nodded and didn't speak again.

After relaying the information that the crawler has obtained with great difficulty to other senior investigators,

"I'll leave first."

There was still a disaster to deal with, and after saying a word to the reptilian, the ugly cow left in a hurry.

The reptile nodded,

After the Ugly Cow Investigator left, he disappeared into the shadows again,

Trying her best to restrain herself, she was still feeling a sense that she was still moving after leaving the flower garden where she was.

Trying to maintain his consciousness and not let himself go completely out of control.

In fact

The answer to the question just now may also be answered in the mouth of the mysterious and powerful man on the banks of the Wang'an River.

But a group of senior investigators from the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation still chose to visit her.

Because it is not only necessary to answer, but also to be powerful.

When fear comes, she will also come with more, the power of wisdom.

For this reason, even if the possibility is a little more faint.

……

On the first day after the arrival of the Lord of Calamity,

Under the protection of Old Man Hong's last bequest, it passed quickly.

During the day on the first day, it was almost according to the fate concocted by Old Man Hong.

There is no big catastrophe, and then it will befall most human settlements directly.

Those who were directly or indirectly affected by Old Man Hong's fabricated fate lived their ordinary lives,

From the news on the Internet, from the words of the people next to him, and some indirect influences, I know that the disaster still exists, but it seems to be far away from them.

However, the beautiful fate that Old Man Hong fabricated with the power of fate still can't avoid the existence of disasters.

After all, it is just a matter of letting these people hide in the intermittent period of disaster.

Disasters still occur outside the places where human beings gather, and the disasters that have already occurred cannot be erased in fate, and those who have died in disasters cannot continue in their fate.

The order guarded by the Bureau of Anomalies is slowly showing signs of collapse.

It can also be expected that with the impact of disasters and other great forces, this one woven by Old Man Hong shelters the great net of people's fate,

It will also gradually become full of holes, like order, and then it will be completely torn apart, and it will no longer work.

Just like Jing Chen's previous prophecy.

If the order collapses after seven days, the whole world will naturally no longer be able to have the same good fate as Old Man Hong made up.

No matter how much it comes, it can't be like that beautiful fate.

……

Night

Near the city of An.

Under the monstrous flood and torrential rain the night before, even if the torrential rain finally stopped during the day today,

But the flood does not go away in a day.

And in the evening, when the sun sets, the temperature begins to plummet.

So that those who were not saved during the day before, and were not swept away by the flood, are extremely difficult at this moment.

At this time, under the jurisdiction of Jin'an City, an originally remote village.

At this moment, the houses and farmland in the village have been completely flooded.

And in the middle of the flood, there was a tree that was not too old,

At the top of the trees, many more emerged from the raging floodwaters.

And along the trunk of this tree, there are two pieces of driftwood barely connected to the tree,

In fact, it was the branch of the tree that broke off into the water, and it shook slightly with the flood,

It seems that at any moment the connection will be completely torn off, and the two pieces of driftwood will also be swept into the flood.

On each of these two pieces of driftwood, there is a young man and a middle-aged man.

On the branches of the trees, completely out of the flood waters, a young woman sat leaning against the branches.

The place where the flood sheltered was originally that of a young man.

In the beginning, he was on the roof of his house,

When the flood water reached the roof, he climbed onto the tree next to the house.

When he was on the roof, he could still vaguely see and hear other people in the village.

By the time he reached the tree, he could no longer hear any other sounds.

Originally, last night, he was already a little unable to stay up.

Even though the flood did not sweep him away, the continuous torrential rain and cold wind continued to take away his body temperature and strength.

[The problem of slow update of new chapters has finally been solved on the app that can change the source, download it here.]

Fortunately, when his consciousness was about to be scattered, he waited until dawn and the sun.

A little sunshine swayed down gave him some warmth and let him get through,

Then, there was another general exposure, and only the branches that had not yet been completely beaten up covered him with some shade.

He was so thirsty that he almost had to drink the foul flood, but he had only a little will left to dispel it.

And the young woman on the branch, the middle-aged man next to him,

He fished them out of the water during the day, and the three of them didn't know each other, and they were washed up by the flood.

When he first rescued these two people, he was still very happy.

He had been in the trees for half the night and half the day, and he had seen many people swept away by the flood, and he could not save them when he tried to save them.

These two people, one was hung by the fallen tree trunk, and the other struggled and hugged the tree trunk,

He was able to pull the two men up from the water.

Moreover, this young woman even has some food on her, which is some bagged snacks that are not low in calories.

I didn't have many things, and I was divided between three people during the day.

This is also an important reason why the three of them have been able to survive until now.

Out of the idea of protecting women and children first, young men and middle-aged men let women stay on tree trunks that are basically completely free of wading.

The two of them sat on these two crumbling branches, like they were about to be torn apart by a flood, holding on to the trunks of the trees.

The flood basically submerged their ankles, and at the end of the day, the soles of their feet and insteps were almost soaked in rot.

The whole trouser leg and the upper body clothes are wet.

It's fine during the day, some of the sun isn't very cold yet.

During the day, the three of them encouraged each other and were optimistic about their ideas.

But as the sun set, the three of them gradually stopped talking.

First, because of the cold and hunger, I really lack the strength to speak.

Second, as night fell, their hearts became more and more cold.

Some terrible thoughts are breeding in the mind.

In the midst of the floods here, the place where they are is is really complete, an island the size of a square inch.

And this isolated island is not so safe, it will fall at any time.

The cell phone lost its signal, and they couldn't communicate with the outside world, so they could only guess and look around with the naked eye.

As seen with the naked eye, there is an ocean in the near and far distances, and there is no rescue force in sight.

And they probably know that it is not far from here, and in the urban area that is not close, the terrain is not much higher than here.

That is, urban districts, towns were also flooded.

There must be more people out there who need to be rescued, and here, it seems like there are just the three of them.

Did the three of them get abandoned...... I can't help but think so.

Even if someone will come to rescue them, when and how many rescues will be able to evacuate so many people in the city and still take care of them?

If it won't be a long, long time before anyone remembers them, will they be able to hold out until then?

Even during the day, the three of them didn't have such thoughts, and at this moment, under the cold wind, they couldn't help but think in the direction of despair.

It's like running on a road that is dark ahead, and no one tells them when they will get to the end,

It may be the next second, it may never come, and they are already very tired, very tired.

On the trees, on the driftwood, there is not even a possibility for them to rest a little.

At this moment, the woman shrank on the branch, hugged the trunk, trembled slightly, lowered her head, did not look at the direction of the young man and the middle-aged man, shrunk her body, and was silent.

The young man and the middle-aged man faced each other, and the two of them half-squatted on the driftwood that were not far apart.

Most of their clothes were wet, and there was a flood on their calves.

The whole body trembled, his lips were purple, his face was pale, his hand holding the trunk was almost unsteady, and his mouth seemed to be unable to breathe.

The middle-aged man held the trunk of the tree at this time, raised his head and looked at the young woman on the branch, but did not speak.

The young woman seemed to feel the middle-aged man's gaze and buried her head a little more.

The young man followed, raising his head and glancing at the shrunken young woman.

Then some irritability and even anger unconsciously popped up in my heart.

Because the young woman had been on the branches, and after another day of sun, her clothes were quite dry.

The young man couldn't help but think at this time,

The woman has been on the branch for so long, can't she let him go up and stay on the tree for a while?

Although he didn't say it, this woman doesn't have any brains, does she? Don't you know how to give it to him?

And don't you know to take off one of her dry clothes and give it to him?

Don't you see how cold he is? If he continues to lose temperature, he will die!

He also saved her!

What ingratitude, wolf-hearted!

But this angry and irritable thought just came out,

was repressed by the young man's reason and morality,

He knew that his anger was unjustified...... It was he who suggested that the young woman stay on the branch.

He patted his head to himself, suppressing the irritability and fear in his heart.

"Winter ......"

At this moment, there was some more movement on the flood,

And another man, who seemed to have been swept down by a flood upstream, was swept up to the edge of this tree.

He struck a broken branch beneath the flood and hung a little farther away.

"Someone!"

The young man found out for the first time, and his first reaction was to reach out and save the man under the flood.

The man under the flood struggled his head out of the water, and stretched out his hand to this side.

He tried to call for help, but kept choking.

"Don't be afraid, I'll pull you up, you move a little more ...... this way"

Although the young man himself was already trembling, he still stretched out his hand to save someone.

“……”

It's just that at this moment, a pair of equally trembling, rough palms pressed his arms from behind.

“…… Leave him alone...... We can't stand that many people here. ”

It was the middle-aged man, he said with a trembling voice.

The young man turned his head, he looked at the middle-aged man, then at the young woman,

The young woman avoided his gaze, and only made a small sound,

"Forget it......"

The young man's heart was a little chilling, he opened his mouth, he wanted to ask something, he wanted to say anything, but he didn't make a sound.

Then, while the young man was entangled with these two,

The man under the water could no longer hold on, and was swept away by the flood and could not be seen.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man trembled, turned around again, and hugged the trunk.

The young man looked at the two people he had rescued during the day, and did not speak.

The inertia of morality and order lasts a little longer in young men,

The young woman and the middle-aged man also lasted all day, but still began to be torn.

“…… There was no signal from the phone, and the city must have been flooded as well...... Surely no one will come to our rescue anytime soon...... We have to take care of ourselves...... It's going to take a little longer...... Wait until the flood waters reced......"

The young woman spoke in a whispered voice, as if explaining the justification of her actions.

“…… Do you still have food there? ”

The middle-aged man raised his head again at this time and said to the young woman on the branch.

Beside them, the young man watched the two men from the side, and never spoke again.
