Section 9 The New Life Part I

When they move from no freedom to a place closer to freedom, no one can imagine how happy they feel.

β€”β€”Excerpt from "Memoirs of the Apostles: Biography of the Leader" (1145 AD)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From the perspective of the wise two-legged animals on the ground, the large piece of azure crystal surrounding the middle-aged blue planet was now being illuminated by the afterglow of the ancient fireball that was still half below the horizon in the east, and the afterglow turned from pitch black to dark blue and purple, and the clumps of cotton silk mixed in it were faintly visible.

A large bird is making cotton silk in a blue crystal. It's ridiculously big compared to its companions. To be precise, it is not a bird: its wings are not flapping. And, it's transparent. In fact, we can't even separate them into living things.

The "companions", who seemed much smaller than it, were also quick to notice this. When one of them tried to negotiate, but was knocked to the ground by the object, they scattered in horror around the dangerous monster in a radial form like headless flies.

The fugitives told the incredible picture they saw. And the most unbelievable thing about them, and not a single bird believes, is that the little monster carried in the body of this monster is a combination of a small beast that is good at climbing trees and feeds on them from time to time, and a hairless monkey who hunts them purely for fun.

The sad truth is that they don't know what they're seeing until they become extinct.

It was in this P-3312 special personnel air transport aircraft that Aaron sat in front of the porthole, casually observing the clouds floating outside the window and the birds shuttling by at high speed in the clouds. Aaron could easily tell the black and white vultures, gray cranes, and bar-headed geese...... They are all at the top of the bird flight altitude rankings.

Just as Ah Long was lying on his stomach and looking out of the window in a daze, a pair of uninvited hands quickly wrapped around Ah Long's eyes.

"Guess who I am?"

"Hmm...... According to the timbre characteristics of his voice," Aaron analyzed in a serious manner, "'should' be Ah Xin." ”

As the white cat's ears behind him shifted back a little, Aaron's eyes broke free, and the diffuse light passed through his jet-black pupils, reconstructing a relatively perfect image on his retina.

"Don't smell it? That's not the way mammals work. Ah Xin said with a grin.

Ah Long was amused by his sister and laughed a little: "I can know that it's you if you don't speak." Even without using all five senses, I can recognize you with more than 99% accuracy. ”

"Don't use the five senses?" Ah Xin smiled and sat in the seat on Ah Long's right. Both seats were turned to the window by Aaron.

"A person's sixth sense exists." Aaron's false seriousness was replaced by his solemn appearance in an instant. He shook a thick book in his hand, which looked so heavy that it could even be used as a weapon when wielded.

"What book?" Ah Xin rubbed her eyes, then glared at the book, and asked vigilantly, as if she was afraid that there was a bomb hidden in the book.

"Anthropology II: Perception." Aaron replied as he handed it to Ah Xin. Seeing Ah Xin's look of disbelief, he added, "Ah Jing's mother wrote it." ”

Don't look at Ah Xin's resistance, but in fact she took the book and opened it without hesitation. "Li Huanyi......" Ah Xin muttered as she looked at the author's profile, "a famous female sociologist, biologist, and psychologist...... Mother Jing is really great......"

Aaron nodded. Ah Xin, who was concentrating on reading, was in a relaxed state both physically and mentally at this time, and did not react at all to Ah Long's getting up. Seeing this, Aaron didn't bother, so he walked to the pantry behind him and took out a quick hot rice and a bottle of water.

This is the cooking cabin of the special plane. In the case of a double-decker civil airliner, the passenger's diet can only be completed in the seat. But this special plane was originally built according to the standards of the space shuttle, so it naturally had a cooking cabin. Later, due to some unknown problems, it had to be operated as an aviation aircraft. The Apostolic Order has purchased a small number of these aircraft for the clandestine airlift of important personnel on Earth.

Despite the huge size of this special plane, its concealment is even comparable to that of today's most advanced military unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. The paint applied on it absorbs almost 100% of the infrared wave and 78% of the visible light. It is equipped with the most advanced communication equipment and counter-communication equipment available today, and is even equipped with an early warning radar. However, the radome of this early warning radar is not placed outside the fuselage. Otherwise, the witnesses would have mistaken it for a giant AWACS aircraft.

Aaron tore open the package of quick-heating rice, took out the top layer of the box, and placed the heating packet filled with quicklime at the bottom of the box, then poured the bottle of purified non-drinking water into the box, submerging the heating packet in the water. Then, he fastened the upper layer of the box and poured the torn rice buns and vegetable buns into the box in turn.

Aaron looked up at the clock hanging on the wall. The clock is a delightful time, with a dial with clear numbers just the size of the wall, and five hands of varying thicknesses that rotate at different speeds. The needle pressed at the bottom is the thinnest and the fastest. If it weren't for the transformation of Aaron's eyes with the "Speed Vision" ability, he would probably not have been able to discern the anomalous second hand that represented 1/3600th of a second per 6 degree rotation.

Aaron shook his head and looked at the clock again. The minute hand is at an angle of 120 degrees to the hour hand. It was four o'clock in the morning.

"Ah Xin, you can't sleep either?" Aaron asked as he sat back in his seat, his deep gaze continuing to look out the window.

"Hmm." Ah Xin responded, "Except for Brother Wolf's little sleeping wolf, no one on this plane is sleeping. ”

"What about Ah Jing?" Aaron said idly.

"Oh, she was airsick and probably threw up in the bathroom. She lay down before I came, but I didn't think she could fall asleep. Ah Xin closed the book and placed it on the fixed table on the left side of the chair, "This book is very good, I will continue to read it later." ”

"Didn't give her any medicine?" Aaron asked with concern.

Ah Xin shook his head and coiled his tail on the seat handle: "I tried, but it didn't work." She has undergone anti-drug modification. Hylamine, promethazine, and chlorpheniramine were ineffective against her. She put her hands behind her head and lay down in her chair, "Poor Ah Jing! I vomited so much that I almost collapsed. ”

"That's pretty uncomfortable." Ah Long said slowly, "Listen to Lao Chen, we are about to reach our destination." By the way, the wound on your stomach is healed? ”

"Pretty much." Ah Xin closed his eyes and said, "After the treatment, it doesn't affect the movement as much as before." Although it still can't heal quickly, it can at least speed up the healing time. ”

Aaron smiled and didn't say anything more. He stretched out his left hand and took the heavy book. For the next ten minutes or so, there was only a slight sound of breathing and the sound of paper rubbing against each other in the cooking cabin.

When a strong aroma of food filled the cooking cabin and penetrated the little white cat's nostrils without saying hello, her eyes snapped open, and she suddenly woke up from her false sleep, and then jumped out of her seat.

"There's food!" Ah Xin sniffed the air, and his tail swung twice actively.

"Eat when you're hungry, it's for you." Ah Long flipped through the book and replied, "The fever pack shouldn't have stopped reacting, be careful." ”

"Brother, aren't you going to eat?" Ah Xin asked Ah Long as he lifted the lid.

"I ate it at midnight. Eat it. But pay attention. Aaron reminded.

"Well, then you're welcome!" As she spoke, Ah Xin eagerly scooped up a spoonful of food with a plastic spoon, blew it carefully, and put it in her mouth.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for ordinary raw rice to be cooked in such a short period of time. "It's probably reconstituted rice." Aaron couldn't help but analyze in his heart. He shook his head. I shouldn't think so much, and I don't have the head to think about it so much.

So, Aaron continued to read with his head down. The book argues that different kinds of organisms may use different sensory organs to understand their environment. For example, bats use ultrasound for echolocation; Mammals prefer to believe what they smell and hear than what they see; Spiders, on the other hand, rely mainly on their sense of touch and smell to obtain information from the outside world...... If we perceive the same world with different organs, we may not receive the same information.

As a genetically modified person, Aaron is deeply touched by this. When he sees the world with only his eyes, the world seems to be the world; However, when he closes his eyes, plugs his ears, and uses his sense of smell to perceive, although the range of his perception is smaller than that of visual perception, he can perceive information in the blind spot of his vision; When he only hears, it feels different......

As Aaron wandered through the world of books, the radio suddenly broke his thoughts and deep reverence for the author.

"All attention, the plane is about to land. Please look for a seat with a seat belt nearby. Lao Chen's voice came out of the radio.

"Ah Xin, cover the lunch box and come back!" Aaron reminded, "The plane is about to land!" ”

"Know! Come on! When Ah Xin heard this, he quickly closed the lid and ran to the seat behind Ah Long.

At this time, the plane was caught off guard and jolted violently. Fortunately, Ah Long fastened his seat belt, otherwise he would have been hit to the ceiling by this force.

But Ah Xin, who was still running on the floor, was not so lucky. She fell to the ground and was thrown out of the door of the cooking cabin.

"Ah Xin!" Aaron shouted. He hurriedly got up to help, but forgot the seat belt in front of him. Angered by the seatbelt's neglect of him, it slammed him back into his seat.

"I'm fine!" As Ah Xin's voice came, a pair of white ears also poked out of the door frame, "The airflow is unstable, normal!" ”

"How did you get here?" Aaron was a little anxious. The plane is still turbulent, and if Ah Xin comes to the cooking compartment again, he may be reversed.

"I've got a seat here!"

"Roger!"

Aaron lay down in his seat and turned his head out the window. He could feel that the fuselage was tilting down to the left. Suddenly, the clouds were gone, replaced by small, clear signal lights placed on the roofs of tall buildings.

"The city of Chircaro has arrived." An unconcealable excitement appeared on Aaron's face, "This will be a new life. I hope this new life is the life we want."
