Celestial Tomb (1)
The hut was rudimentary, but large, ellipsoidal in shape, like an egg, without a door, and open as if it were in a cave.
After entering the house, Wen Ding found that the room was open on both sides, and in addition to the opening that came in, there was another opening facing the road, leading to the road behind.
"Before going to the patriarch, I didn't know the existence of the 'door', and naturally our tribe would not have a door, and the places we built to live were all directly opened, at most only covered with a layer of animal skin, this, in your understanding, should be called the 'back door', right, it is used for escape."
"Flee from what?"
"There are often wild beasts here, and if you want to spend the night here, you can run away if you are attacked."
"Isn't it time to hide? Build a door, and if something comes, you can keep it out. ”
"Unfortunately, we don't have the technology to make the parts that turn the door, and we don't know how to make a lot of subtle things, such as the zipper on your dress, the door shaft. Only your elder has the ability to make those small things, and he should be the one who knows the most besides the patriarch. ”
"Doesn't the patriarch know how to make wine?" Wen Ding thought of what Bing said, only you will make wine.
"The patriarch wanted to learn before, but your elder refused to teach." Kai gasped, "Let's rest and rest, and we'll set off later." ”
Wen Ding sat down in place, obviously there would be no chairs here.
People often feel a sense of relief after being tired, and Kai is obviously like this, throwing off his burden and lying on the floor.
"You don't even breathe."
"Well, in my own world, I'm actually an extreme enthusiast, that is, I challenge the limits of my body, and my physical strength is good in our world."
"Do you like to challenge yourself...... Kai thought for a moment, "so you're actually the more extreme kind of person?" There are also such people in our tribe, who always have their own emotions, laughing and crying, they are louder than others, but you have no expression all the time, huh? What happened to you? ”
"Here we go again..."Wen Ding suddenly felt some more fragmentary memories in his head, this time the feeling was more intense than the previous times, as if there was something in his head that wanted to be drilled out directly.
The sharp pain caused Wen Ding to lean down.
......
"Slowly... Give it to me slowly. The familiar man called out to Wen Ding, his voice slightly hurried and flustered.
Wen Ding's left hand clutched on a raised stone, and below him was a cliff.
With difficulty, Wen Ding stretched out his right hand and grabbed him.
The man's hand suddenly exerted force, dragging Wen Ding up the cliff.
"I told you not to come with me, you still came, who taught you to untie the rope?!" The man was obviously a little angry, but more concerned: "What if you die?" ”
"Aren't you afraid of death either?"
He also had no rope on him.
The man was silent for a moment: "Keep up, you won't fall." ”
Wen Ding nodded, the man stood up, stretched out his hand and groped for a while, then his eyes lit up, and he grabbed the gap he had just touched, and his other hand also looked for the focus point in the same way, and climbed up step by step.
"You're really not afraid of death." Wen Ding watched the man's movements and found that he hadn't even planned the route in advance, and then looked at the position he had grabbed and climbed up.
"Hmph... People always die, and if it is for my own choice, I will not regret it... Ha... I don't ask for much, I just want the moment before I die, if only I had no regrets. The man struggled to climb up, gasping for air.
Wen Ding didn't speak, and continued to crawl.
Sweat soaked through the clothes of the two men, it was winter, there was snow on the peak, and the cold wind stuck to the clothes of the two of them.
The man shuddered, pulled out a cigarette, and pulled out a lighter to light it.
"This is Canada, and you dare to smoke?"
"No one is here anyway." He used an old-fashioned lighter, and his thumb rolled to spark sparks, "No fool comes here in winter." ”
was about to light a cigarette, but Wen Ding quickly snatched the cigarette in the man's mouth: "Your body is no longer good, and you are still smoking?" ”
"Well, that's a more convincing argument than in Canada."
The man took out another cigarette from his pocket, lit it with the text on his back, took a few deep breaths, and did not spit out the smoke.
"Canadian Ghost Peak, you see, we can trample the ghosts under our feet through our own efforts."
"Is it that good to smoke?"
"That's because you didn't smoke it."
"I smoked, I almost choked to death, and I didn't choke like this when I drowned."
"Drowning? Hahaha, when you were a child, the people in the orphanage told me that you drowned in the bathtub and thought you were too stupid and told me not to adopt you, hahaha, I said I just like stupid, easy to bring. The man coughed twice, unable to tell whether it was fog or smoke.
"It was all when I was a kid, and now I won't."
"Hahaha, it's a joke now..."Speaking of this, the man suddenly thought of something, and the laughter stopped abruptly, and said in a serious tone: "You are twenty-one years old. ”
"yes, you didn't show up for my birthday either."
"I'm going to experiment."
"You've got muscles, and I can't believe you're a scientist."
"Haha, who told me to love rock climbing, those who are not strong are filtered out by nature, I am the one who stays, and naturally there must be such conditions."
"So what the hell is the experiment? Are you obviously a lot haggard, or are you selling blood behind my back? Sell kidneys? ”
"Bah, bah, where is there such an outrageous thing, and selling blood and kidneys, cough cough, well, I should be able to tell you."
The cigarette ran out quickly, and the man stuffed the cigarette holder into his bag and turned to face Wen Ding.
"We met when we were kids, you know?"
"What nonsense, how can you adopt me without me?"
"I mean, very little, very young."
"How small?"
"One or two years old." The man was not joking, and said very seriously.
“...... Can you think back to something you had when you were a year or two old? Wen Ding felt that he was teasing himself, "I'm not a prodigy." ”
"No, you are."
Wen Ding showed a puzzled expression, and the man looked at Wen Ding firmly: "Do you know why you are an orphan?" ”
"I don't know." Wen Ding chose to listen to the man's words.
"Do you think the world is fair?"
"It's... The answer is different for everyone. ”
"Imagine that if someone tells you to die, you have to die, is that fair?"
"It's not fair."
"Hmm...... It seems that my education is not bad, and I didn't give you three wrong views. The man joked again, "I don't think it's fair, too." ”
"Okay, don't talk now, just listen."
The text points the head to indicate understanding.
"The reason why you are an orphan is that I have to make you an orphan, and I am actually your biological father." The man paused, taking a deep breath, "Strictly speaking, I'm supposed to be a criminal. ”
"Your mother died after you were born."
"We have been working hard to free the people in the Celestial Tomb, and this 'we' refers to a large number of opponents including me, opponents of the Celestial Tomb Project, or in other words, we are the ones who escaped from the Celestial Tomb Project."
"In the world now, everyone can let AI do everything as long as they put on a brain computer and an idea, and the computer calculates all the nutritional indicators, all the actions and plans that can make the body healthier, plus the technology of mechanical organs, everything is developing too fast, and human life has changed from the first seventy or eighty years to the current four or five hundred years. This has also brought about a change in the law, the property rights of houses have changed from 70 years to 150 years, and the copyright has also increased significantly, the most important of which is that the minimum sentence for a prison sentence is 70 years. ”
"Once upon a time, when hibernation technology first appeared, there was a group of scientists who chose to freeze themselves and see what it looked like in the future."
"I'm one of them."
"But the world is changing so fast that now there are even three countries left on the planet, and the contracts we signed with the government before are not legally applicable here, and we are torn off the power supply and forcibly woken up."
"When I woke up from my slumber, the first thing I saw was a police officer with a loaded gun, and although the appearance had changed, I was sure it was a gun."
"A woman walks over, it should be a woman... He said that he was the judge, the only person here who could speak ancient Chinese, and then asked us to pay for the electricity used in hibernation. ”
"Heh, I don't have a dime in my pocket, who hibernates with a bank card?"
"Luckily they still use Arabic numerals, but we were overwhelmed by the '0' that looked like a machine was malfunctioning."
"Then we were tortured, the handcuffs were amazing, and I couldn't control the distance between my hands without a chain."
"It seems that most of the people here are women, and we don't see many men, and on the way back to the police car, there are always people looking at us, as if they have seen something strange, and then we were told that some of the countries we came to before have merged, and some have perished, of course China does not, China still exists, and we are under the jurisdiction of China, but our hibernation is experimental, and only the original government admits that there are too many changes now, plus the third world war is an information war, and our agreement has been deleted as garbage."
"There are also many foreigners among us, all of whom have become stateless, and if it weren't for the fact that someone found out that the electricity in our hibernation place was too high, we would really wake up underground in a thousand years."
"But we were woken up, and after only two hundred and seventy years, we got to the point where we were at a loss."
"People are more apathetic nowadays, and we have repeatedly explained that we signed agreements, but no one in modern times can listen."
"We went to the court of this era, and the judge was indeed very human, hmph, like a machine, saying that humanity still exists in contemporary times, and explaining to us the Heavenly Tomb Project."
She said that the total population of modern times is the total number of people on the planet who are the healthiest, and without us black households, the earth will become unhealthy.
"Now in the underground world, there is a piece of the remains of our era that they found, that is to say, the earth does not know why, on top of us, a layer has been added, modern people live on top of our world, and our world is the heavenly tomb."
"She suggested that we go back there, that we don't have to pay for electricity, and that we can still live in our own world as before, with the only difference being that we don't have some acquaintances."
"It's ridiculous, we are the ones who are most eager to witness the future, and the people of the future let us go back to our own world."
"We have no choice but to go back in time."
"Theoretical physics hasn't developed much, it's more technical, and I want to be a teacher here, but the world doesn't need a teacher."
"We were sent underground, where there were no traces of human beings, everything had turned to dust over time, only plants were left, wolves and tigers were swarmed, the sun was obscured, and we could only live in darkness. We fled back many times to find local charities, only to find out that the world doesn't need charity, it's perfect enough, it's almost utopia. ”
