Chapter 107: Their Respective Missions (Three Watches)
Turning their heads in confusion, No. 1 and No. 3 looked at No. 2 blankly, and only after half a ring did they ask, "What about ...... And then what? ”
"Aren't you shocked! After passing through the black hole, we actually returned to our home planet, which is a big discovery! The biped beasts of the year, that is, why did humans leave! Why did the ancestors suddenly gain wisdom, don't you wonder about these things? ”
"I'm curious about why today's pine cones are salt-and-pepper." No. 3 held the pine cone in front of him and asked dissatisfied.
"That's because it tastes salt and pepper when you put it in, idiot."
Realizing that his companion was indifferent to the discovery, Number Two suddenly despaired of his small team.
This team is not the only one with brains!
The three of them are tech hunters, and they advance technology by exploring the ruins of bipeds and mining technology from them.
Their technology has been very distorted, the squirrels have the ability to travel in the universe, but agriculture is very biased, and genetic technology is very backward.
Deformed technology has finally met a barrier, and the end of their civilization is coming.
That is a genetic, irreversible degradation.
Their genes have mutated for unknown reasons, and some squirrels have taken on plant characteristics that cannot be reversed.
Infected squirrels will slowly stiffen and their roots will stick out of the soles of their feet and begin to try to cling to the ground.
After that, the speed of mental reaction will slowly decrease, and the rat will fall into a sluggish state, and eventually completely turn into a plant.
This process exists on a genetic level, and the existing technology in the Squirrel Kingdom has no cause at all, and this strange illness has prompted them to constantly explore the ruins in search of the faint hope.
But the universe is too dangerous, and terrifying gamma storms, sudden supernova pulses, and the aftermath of a stellar fluctuation hundreds of years ago can all suddenly come and kill them.
The previous Shadow Apostles were a less dangerous part of it, but when they were activated for unknown reasons, they would frantically attack the living creatures around them, and it was lucky enough to escape into the black hole and survive.
But behind every piece of bad luck there is a nut, and this old adage is really true.
They're back on their home planet!
Knowing what this place was, hope burned in Two's heart.
The key to saving their race may be here!
"Beta, help look for signs of life."
"Checking...... After checking, it's everywhere. ”
"Why are they everywhere?"
"There are planetary lifeforms."
This time, not only Two, but also Number One and Number Three gasped.
The universe is too big, and in the mirror universe where they are located, super-large-scale life forms abound.
According to the size of the lifeforms, they divide them into satellite-level lifeforms, planetary-level lifeforms, super-large planetary-level lifeforms, stellar lifeforms, etc.
The Shadow Cultist I met later was also a satellite-level lifeform, but there was still a big gap between it and a planetary-level lifeform.
Now that the existence of planetary lifeforms has been confirmed, Beta feels that he should be careful.
Looking around, he saw the beautiful park not far away, and then pointed there with his little paw and asked, "What is that?" ”
"The presence of data on older lifeforms has been detected, the presence of a large number of early versions of explainer robots has been detected, and the presence of a large number of inanimate constructs has been detected......"
Hearing Beta's series of ascensions, Two became more and more curious about the place.
With the surrounding ruins in place, the sprawling and beautifully landscaped garden is like an oasis and it's hard not to attract attention.
Ripping off the roots of its paws, it said to Number One and Three, "Let's go, let's go there." Remember to bring the nuts with you. ”
"What about the ship?" One asked.
Looking back at the spaceship that had broken in two, Number Two shook his head helplessly.
Spaceships are also part of biped technology, and they can only make simple imitations, but they can't make them anymore.
And this is an extremely traditional piece of equipment, and they have no means of recovery.
It's a pity, but its mission ends here.
Patting the ship, Two could see a lot from its body.
The traces of decay left by the Shadow Apostles, the scratches of small meteorites, the scorch marks left by interstellar pirate weapons......
Each one is a proof that they were born and died together, and there is a story behind each wound, and these stories are a legend when they open, and today is likely to be the end of the legend.
"Thank you, old friend."
Patting the ship's hull, Two beckoned One and Three to salute, and led by the floating Beta, walked towards the Botanical Garden.
They walked for three hours to get there.
Although they had taken off their spacesuits, the journey was still exhausting.
And when they got there, they realized that it was bigger than they had imagined.
The three-meter-high fence towers over the squirrel's eyes, and the long fence stretches to the horizon, allowing them to discover that this place is bigger than they thought.
However, squirrels are natural wall climbers.
They climbed on the wall, and when they climbed over the wall, they were stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of them.
Plants that need a lot of water are everywhere, delicate trees are dotted with, blue flowers bloom in the flower beds, everything looks perfect.
After staring blankly at the wall for a while, Number One couldn't help but say, "It's so beautiful here, what kind of place is this?" ”
Beta was silent for a moment before saying, "We've switched to Botanical Garden Commentary mode." This is the Botanical Garden. ”
"What is a botanical garden?"
"A place to place plants and to look at them. Bipeds, that is, humans in the past, are very fond of this device, and they like to come here in their free time and pass the time by observing plants. ”
"And is the food delicious?" Three asked, drooling.
"Most of them are just ornamental and toxic, and they need a lot of sunlight and clean water, as well as fertile soil."
"What a waste!" Number Two shouted, "Is it such a waste for humans to use precious land and resources to cultivate things that cannot be eaten?" ”
"For humans in the past, it was just an ordinary form of entertainment."
Beta's answer silenced Two.
The human period was a great golden age, with advanced technology and complete industry allowing them to dominate the mirror universe, and even if they perished, the afterglow still guided their pets.
A huge botanical garden requires more resources than they could have imagined.
And such a huge building is just a device for entertainment, and this luxury has made them not know what to say.
Just as he was about to jump down to get a feel for the plants, Two heard Beta say, "Please don't go near the grass, especially if you jump on one foot." ”
"Why?"
"It looks like grass, but it's essentially a mimicry of some kind of plant. This plant feeds on a creature called the Rat, which can jump on one foot, so jumping on one foot at a certain frequency will stimulate its predatory instinct and be attacked by it. ”
"That's right. Wait a minute! ”
Sensing something keenly, Two continued, "I have a question, plants don't move, right?" ”
"Yes." Beta replied.
"Animals move, right?"
"That's right."
"Then why do the plants move here?"
"Because of the need for biological weapons, humans have broken down the barriers between plants and animals, allowing plants and animals to blend together. So the plants here look like all plants, but in essence, they are plants and animals that can evolve. ”
Two's expression became more solemn.
Thinking of the unavoidable plant disease of their race, he asked in disbelief: "So, our disease ......?"
"The local network is connected, the database is updated...... Yes, it can be inferred that the source of your illness is here. ”
"Our ancestors...... Are all biological weapons? ”
"Yes."
The sudden revelation of the truth gives Number Two a sense of absurdity.
They have been trying to solve their own problems, trying to figure out their origins, but they didn't expect the truth to be like this.
Biological weapons, that's why they were created.
Looking at the No. 2 yellow chipmunk with a blue face, No. 1 pushed him, gnawed on nuts and asked, "What's wrong with you, don't eat nuts for me." ”
"We're biological weapons!"
"Oh, and then?"
Looking at the dazed No. 1 and No. 3, No. 2 suddenly realized the crux of the problem.
yes, and then what?
Knowing that their source is a biological weapon, does it have any effect on them?
They're still them, the same squirrels who wept out the two-legged humans, the ones at the top of the food chain.
You're luxurious, you're great, but what in the end?
We are at the top of the food chain!
And I will find a way to save myself on my home planet, and we squirrel people will be perfect and great again.
Thinking of this, No. 2 was full of pride, and was about to get up to express the pride in his chest, when he saw a strange guy come out of the corner.
Counterpart...... It's weird.
His body is very uncoordinated, his arms and legs look slender, the hair on his body is only a small pinch on the top of his head, and there is no tail on his lower body, so he doesn't know how to maintain balance.
He was so tall that six of himself stacked on top of each other that it was unclear how he survived and didn't break a bone.
Immediately lowering his head, No. 2 stood on the wall, looked at the guy below and asked in horror, "What is that?" ”
"It looks like it's human, but there's no sign of life." Beta said suspiciously, "Entities that have not been seen need to be registered, temporarily registered as humanoids." ”
"What do humans look like this? Not in the literature I saw! Shouldn't they be a species with no tail or tail in front? ”
"The literature is mostly speculative, and it is normal for it to deviate from the facts. It is advisable to continue to observe. ”
Beta's offer was accepted, and Two could only continue to observe.
Just looking at it for a while, Number Two found that the behavior of humans can only be described as weird.
From the moment he appeared, he never stopped.
He was trying to invade the garden.
There was a clear warning sign next to the garden, but he ignored it and kept charging towards it.
He tries to jump into the garden and is stopped by a beta-like machine.
He tried to dig a hole outside the garden with his bare hands, but was stopped.
Walk up the rockery and jump from it into the garden to be stopped in mid-air.
Trying to break the garden fence, then arguing with the machine that a garden without a fence is not a garden, is stopped by a slap in the face of the machine, and then ordered to be restored.
Attempts to enter the garden to pick flowers during the restoration process were prevented and then did not appear for five hours.
After five hours, they showed up and seriously restored the garden, said a polite goodbye to the machine, and then went to the lake to try diving.
Try to jump straight into the lake and be stopped.
Try......
The three squirrels lay on the city wall, staring at the scene in front of them in amazement.
At this moment, Number Two felt that even the wildest fantasies could not be written in front of him, and the humanoid behavior completely subverted its cognition, making him feel that he had fallen into a state of madness.
However, the strong rational compulsion allowed him to return to normal, but his companion was long gone.
Looking at the guy in front of him, Number One muttered to himself, "Who am I, and who is it?" Is the world a rainbow pony's dream or a giant bubble of nothingness? ”
Ignoring the two companions for a moment, Two asked, "Beta, can you guess what these humans are doing?" ”
"There is not enough data to speculate at the moment. Please continue to gather information to help me in my judgment. ”
After thinking for a while, the left and right of Two each slapped their companions in the face, and physically woke them up.
Telling them Beta's reasoning, Second said earnestly, "Next, we're going to observe these humanoids and find out the secrets here." ”
"I don't want to die!" Number One shouted in fear.
"That's right." Number Three nodded in horror, "I'm going crazy just to see him, and it's absolutely impossible for me to find out his secrets." ”
"But we have no other way." Number Two sighed.
Glancing at the humanoid who was still trying to jump into the lake, instinctive fear hit him, and he didn't dare to look more.
But, in order to save their race from the brink of extinction, he strengthened his resolve and began to look at the fellows seriously.
"Look at them with me." Number Two said, "Slowly, little by little, to dispel the fear in my heart. We cannot be afraid, we are already the last hope. ”
"But I'm still scared, what should I do?" Three asked, fearful.
"It's okay until you see that you're not afraid."
And when the three squirrels overcome their fears through desensitization therapy, their figures have been targeted.
The universal explainer robot Alpha has seen three squirrels, as well as its own second-generation machine product Beta that has been invented in another universe.
Their origins make Alpha a little curious, but their bodies are of the same origin as the animals and plants of this world, but they have different evolutionary directions.
This peculiar behavior has made it a little curious about these guys, and is ready to observe and record their performance, find out their latent status, and compile it for the record.
And so, a peculiar scene began.
Players don't know they're being spied on by three squirrels, and the three squirrels don't know they're being spied on by Alpha.
With different purposes, their actions in the botanical garden began to intersect and influence each other.
The alliance leader's plus will be delivered later.
In the future, if there are no accidents, the first chapter will be updated at about 12 o'clock in the morning, and the second and third chapters will be updated at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and the time in between can be used to think and revise some content to facilitate the maintenance of quality.
