Volume 1 Desert Symbols Chapter 2 The Tower in the Sand (2)

Yimu said that the digital rain just now is an RFC device, and the frequency of the biological radio waves on this planet is different from that of the earth, and it needs to be artificially processed to see each other.

After the ship's data collapsed, she was teleported to this location, where she met the six survivors living in the Tower.

The city is the main city of A36, and there are not many residents living here, with a total of less than 10,000 people. A meteorite landed here many years ago, and along with the meteorite, there was also a creature called "Barge". The composition of this organism is very special, it is not a conventional biological cell, but a combination of plants and rocks, and the humans they eat will be broken down into new "barges".

In order to resist the attack of this creature, the people here have discovered a new substance that can devour the vitality of the barge, turning them into a black mineral stone. And this new substance is the symbol they discovered, the code-like 'lifeform', which the inhabitants call 'Dream Flower'. It is said that the first person to discover it had a dream in which blue flowers bloomed all over the mountains, and when he woke up, he created this magical flower.

This tower was originally the control center of the city, and the basement floor was a research base, and when He Yimu arrived here, this base had been occupied by those monsters, and she was almost devoured by those monsters at that time, but fortunately she was rescued by Liancheng.

Liancheng is the tallest of the six, with a thin face, a mustache on his chin, and he usually likes to wear a black camisole, and a koi tattoo on his shoulder, he is a very characteristic man.

Emu said that the barrier created by using the dream flower here can indeed resist refutation, but this flower has a drawback, because its growth is fed by data, which led to the collapse of the data of the entire city, and finally caused a catastrophe, almost all the residents here have been teleported to unknown places, and now there are only six people left to find it, including Liancheng.

The number of monsters here is more than a hundred times more than before, which means that most of the people have been devoured, and they are probably the last survivors.

"You just said you've been here for three years, but it's only been half a day since we've been apart, what's going on?" Xue Shanhai finally asked the question in his heart, which was a bit unbelievable.

"Actually, there was also a 'barge' in our spaceship that day, but we couldn't see it at the time, and the Dream Flower teleported us to a different time period." He Yimu replied: "The ability of the Dream Flower can transform space and time, and we may be teleported to any place, any time and space, or even any time. ”

"That Sangyi, where did Qiao Shu go, could it be that they were also teleported to the past?" Xue Shanhai asked, from just now to now, except for the six strangers, he has not seen any other partners.

"I don't know, the teleportation location and time are too random, I've been looking for you all these years, but I haven't found anything, and now we can only hope that they haven't turned into a barge." He Yimu's face was a little ugly when he said this, and he seemed to have something unspeakable.

"Maybe they're like me, maybe in the past or in the future?"

"It's a possibility." He Yimu seemed to know what Xue Shanhai wanted to say, "But I can tell you for sure that they are no longer there." ”

"What does it mean to be gone?" Xue Shanhai was puzzled.

"You come with me." He Yimu said and motioned to take Xue Shanhai to a place.

Following He Yimu, he came to the third basement floor of this tower.

Yimu said that the original data of the city is preserved here, including videos of the lives of its residents before they were killed.

Here, Xue Shanhai saw a bustling city, the people living in this city are very similar to the humans on the earth, and they also have their working patterns and living rules. Aoi's landscape plants, the leaves of this plant can be used as a protective layer on the surface of the building, and the residents here will also raise one as a decoration at home, because its leaves are very sharp, sometimes it can be used to make knives, and if necessary, it can be changed to make various small objects, which can be said to be like a universal treasure chest. And above the city there is a huge hood that covers the whole city inside, the outside of the hood is the desert, while the city inside the cover is lush with vegetation and is completely different from the outside.

He Yimu opened the city's detection system, which contained the information of everyone in the city, including the marks of the location of these people before they finally disappeared, as well as the thermal positioning, as long as there were living creatures in the city, they could be seen clearly. But now, it shows that Liancheng is resting on the fifth floor, the others are drinking tea on the third floor, and the two of them are looking at the second basement floor, and other than that, there are those active barges outside.

"You see, there's no other living people in this city." Yimu looked at Xue Shan Haidao.

"Look at this again." As she spoke, she opened a timeline-like thing with various times and years, including people's names, and she picked out one of them, and this one was about herself, with the time and place of her birth written on it, and then everything that had happened in the city in the past three years, and from the time she came to the city, the system had assigned her an identity that matched the city.

"As soon as we enter the city, this detection system will automatically analyze our personality and biometric information and give us an identity."

Then she found a small paragraph from it, which was about Xue Shanhai.

In this timeline, Xue Shanhai is the executive officer on the tower, responsible for detecting the dynamics of the city like He Yimu, and his identity is also a citizen, with a date of birth and kinship system, and the content is incredibly detailed, as if he had grown up on this planet, and it even wrote the ugly story of him falling off a stool when he was five years old in order to eat a cake on the cabinet.

"Then this system analysis is not quite right, am I the kind of person who dies for the sake of eating?" Xue Shanhai silently complained about the black history on this system.

"The accuracy rate is 99 percent, after all, from the analysis of various biological characteristics and behavior patterns, 80 percent can also be deduced, plus some statistical probabilities, the error rate is 0.1 percent." He Yimu explained.

"Maybe I'm the 0.1 percent." Xue Shanhai said stupidly, but seeing He Yimu's gloomy face, he realized that he would probably be beaten by He Nuxia if he continued to talk about it, so he hurriedly asked, "You didn't bring me here just to introduce these, right?" Does this data have anything to do with our peers? ”

"Look closely, I have something in common with your profile."

"Same place?" Xue Shanhai compared the data of him and He Angelica, although the things that happened on these timelines were different, but they all fell asleep for five days in a summer ten years ago, and the reason has been unknown, when they woke up, a strange symbol appeared on their wrists, and that symbol was the flower of dreams.

Xue Shanhai subconsciously looked at his wrist, I don't know when there was really an extra symbol, it looked like the shape of a petal, it was exactly the same as the flowers they saw in the spaceship, he touched it with his hand, and found that it was not painted, but grew with his own skin.

At the same time, Emu also rolled up his sleeves and showed him the symbol on his wrist.

"This symbol, they don't even have the city, only us."

"You mean, only we outsiders have it?"

"It seems that this is the case, I spent more than a whole year, looking for the timeline of every resident in the city, extracting the information of the sleepers during this time, and found the other two, one is a man named Zhou Qimu, he is the owner of the grocery store, fifty years ago, he fell asleep for five days for unknown reasons, and when he was sent to the hospital, even the doctor could not answer what the reason was. The other was a teenager named Black Cat, who was in high school and was the lead singer of a well-known band, who suddenly disappeared during a concert and appeared five days later in a well-known hotel in the city, and according to the person, he was in a coma for five days. ”

"They have this on their hands?" Xue Shanhai pointed to his wrist and said, "Could it be Qiao Shu and Sangyi." ”

"I also suspected at first, although their names and identities are completely different from Qiao Shu's, but from their experience, there are many similarities with them, such as here, Qiao Shu joined the army and left a scar on his right arm when he was on a mission, and Zhou Qimu's information also has the experience of joining the army, and there is also a scar on his right arm. But ......" said as Emu paused for a moment.

"But?"

"Their timeline stopped three years ago."

"What do you mean?"

"They have been presumed dead in this world."

"What?"

"Zhou Qimu died of poisoning, and the black cat was assassinated on the roof of the building, and the murderer has not been found so far." Yimu said.

"Jo Shu, they won't die." Xue Shanhai said categorically, although the evidence above is saying that they are very likely to be his companions, but Xue Shanhai believes that they are not dead, especially Qiao Shu, he has joined the army, and his ability to execute tasks and adapt is much stronger than ordinary people, and among them, he is the most experienced in exploration, not to mention that he is a member of the Qiao family, and the Qiao family is a natural master of poisoning and detoxification, and it is absolutely impossible to be poisoned.

"I'd rather believe they're alive." He Yimu said, but there was a hesitant look on his face.

"Not to believe, but to be sure." Xue Shanhai said firmly, and then casually turned off these feared timelines.

"Since this information is systematically fabricated, is there a possibility that they are still alive somewhere?" Xue Shanhai said what he thought.

"Maybe...... But as you can see, the system scans the entire city, and there are no humans other than us at all. He Yimu looked at Xue Shanhai's determined gaze, just like when she discovered these things three years ago, but three years later, she couldn't find the confidence she had at that time anyway.

"Maybe it's outside the city, didn't I find it from outside the city? Maybe they are also waiting for our rescue somewhere in the desert......" Xue Shanhai recalled everything he had just experienced, since he was lucky to be alive, others might too.

"Okay, it's not early, you're tired, the third floor is a resting room, you can pick the one you like, go and rest." Yimu didn't seem to intend to answer his doubts, and immediately teleported a navigation map to Xue Shanhai's bracelet.

"What about you?"

"I still have something to discuss with Liancheng, tomorrow at eight o'clock, gather in the conference room on the fifth floor." Yimu said.

Seeing that Yimu didn't want to say more, Xue Shanhai didn't ask any more, but the doubts in his heart were getting more and more, he still remembered that his legs had been crushed by the boulder, but how could he stand in the cabin safe and sound after a few minutes? Could it be that this is also the power of the dream flower? Thinking of this, he lifted his leg, and the sharp pain seemed to remain, but when he took a few more steps, the pain disappeared again, as if everything was just his delusion.

Xue Shanhai opened the map that Yimu passed to him, which showed that this tower has a total of sixteen floors, and there are five floors underground, the first floor is the hall in addition to some decorative furnishings, there are some large screens that have long been closed, the second to fifth floors are living areas, the sixth to tenth floors are work areas and laboratories, the eleventh floor is the library, the twelfth to sixteenth floors are missing data, and the above is marked like a production workshop, and I don't know what is produced inside.

Xue Shanhai came to the third floor and found a relatively simple small room, the furnishings in the room were very simple, there was a painting hanging on the wall, and the silver lines painted on it would move with the change of light, and from different angles, it turned out to be different creatures, which was quite interesting.

Near the window is a double bed, Xue Shanhai is spread out on the bed, he looks at the ceiling, the lamp on it seems to be made of sunflowers, and from time to time you can see the small thorns floating on it turn into a silver liquid and merge into the lamp.

The exhaustion of his body made him quickly sleepy, but just as he was about to fall asleep, something else suddenly occurred to him.

If it is true that as Yimu said, their identity information is arranged by the detection system according to their biological data and behavior, then it means that there must be other clues in their timeline, such as where they have been, what they have done, and what information they will leave for themselves if they are still alive.

Thinking about these things in his head made Xue Shanhai sober up a lot, he sat up, took out the notebook from his bag, opened a page inside, and frowned when he saw a scribbled dream flower pattern drawn on it. He didn't remember when he drew it, could it be that someone took his notebook and scribbled on it when he was unconscious?

Then he took out his pen and wrote down the message about the 'Dream Flower', and it was not until about eleven o'clock that he put down the notebook and lay down on the bed again.
