Chapter 195: Biological Tide
Fan Wu and Xiaozhu have had an impact on the world since they met, I don't know if it's a coincidence or if it's true that their meeting made the world react, anyway, it seems that the world changes with them.
It's just that the two of them didn't know that these changes had happened, and they said that they could see that it had something to do with them, and the two people who were originally unrelated to each other walked together like a child's play.
In fact, it's not a companion, it's just that Xiaozhu follows Fan Wu, he doesn't have any idea or destination at all, Fan Wu goes wherever he goes, and he doesn't ask much.
One large and one small left the settlement and continued to march in the opposite direction of the jungle area, along the way, as Xiaozhu said, there will be a settlement that is almost the same every few dozen miles.
Without exception, there are no living creatures in all, except for Xiaozhu, the area here is actually a dead domain, not only does there be no living beings, but as the two go deeper, even the plants are becoming fewer and fewer.
After hundreds of miles, the vegetation is almost extinct, and all that remains is dirt and abandoned buildings, and the deeper you go into the settlement, the more the settlements are, and the places that look like pastures are almost gone.
The scale of the settlements has also grown, starting from a settlement with only a dozen houses, and later there are already dozens or even hundreds of houses that can be seen, and there is a little rudimentary form of a town.
But no matter how big the scale is, there are still no creatures in it, the larger the scale, the more uncomfortable it is, facing the empty houses and bleak streets, Fan Wu feels a little lost for no reason.
It seems that the wanderer returns to his hometown and sees people going to empty buildings, and things are not people, he doesn't know where this emotion comes from, but it is just a little uncomfortable.
Xiaozhu didn't have anything out of the ordinary, but he was in a very good mood, after all, this was the first time he had left the place where he grew up to travel all over the world.
Although many places have been there in his dreams, the feeling of being there in person must be very different, so he feels quite excited and interested in seeing anything, and he chatters and asks questions along the way.
However, it was precisely because of his curiosity that he diluted a lot of Fan Wu's bad mood, and in the process of constantly answering Xiaozhu's questions, Fan Wu's mood also became a little better.
The two of them wandered around the area like tourists, but the general direction was towards the swamp at the end.
In fact, neither of them said that they were going to the swamp on purpose, but I don't know why, no matter how far they deviated, they would eventually return to the right direction intentionally or unintentionally.
It seems that there is an invisible force influencing and guiding them all the way to the swamp, and the two have been walking for almost half a month, and the relationship between them is very good, and they have cultivated a certain emotional foundation.
And on the way, Fan Wu kept teaching Xiaozhu to speak, after half a month of relaxed and happy teaching and learning, Xiaozhu can now speak some commonly used words, and the simple greeting and communication between the two is basically no problem.
Only when encountering more complex things or some relatively obscure knowledge points do you need to communicate through brain waves.
Xiaozhu has a complete body structure, and he couldn't speak before just because he hadn't learned, but now after the efficient teaching of Fan Wu's combination of internal and external teaching, he quickly mastered the basic skill of speaking.
As time goes by, the conversation between the two is getting smoother and smoother, and after a month, there is no longer a need for brainwave communication to assist, except for the pronunciation that is a little weird, Xiaozhu can basically chat and talk normally.
And maybe because he had just mastered a skill, Xiaozhu was very excited, and became a little chatterbox, and kept talking.
But because he still doesn't know a lot of common sense, sometimes he will ask Fan Wu a little speechless, and he will begin to regret teaching him to speak.
But most of the time is still happy, Fan Wu has been an orphan since he was a child, and he has never had the concept of brothers and sisters, and now he feels as if he is traveling with his younger brother, so in general he is in a good mood.
Not to mention Xiaozhu, who has been lonely for more than ten years, suddenly met a kind of person, and this kind of person is very kind to him, and he has taught himself so many new things, he feels that he has never been so happy in his life.
A month and a half later, the two of them came to a large settlement again, which was already a standard town, crisscrossed by three or four streets, with more than 200 houses scattered on it, and fences and doorways on the front and back.
Although the fence is relatively low, and the doorway is not a closed metal gate, just a wooden gate, it is already a relatively formal setting in a small town.
Among the 200 houses in this town, there are already large houses with more than three floors, although only two are located in the center, but they are already showing that there is a leader here.
All the houses in the previous settlements were the same size, and even the style was about the same, proving that there was at least no leader on the surface, and there were two large houses here, presumably the residence of the mayor or the head of the settlement.
The two walked into these two houses and took a look, and sure enough, the decoration layout inside was different from that of other houses, with some relatively beautiful furniture and decorations, and even more exquisite metal tableware appeared in one of them.
And the bedroom is no longer an ordinary hardboard bed, it is covered with thick cotton cloth, which is much more comfortable to lie on.
Seeing the layout here, the two decided to take a break here today, and then leave, during this time, Fan Wu wanted to make Xiaozhu more humane, so although neither of them felt tired, they would still stop and rest after walking for a while.
Let him know the law of work and rest and the concept of combining work and rest, and by the way, he can continue to teach him more knowledge points.
Fan Wu has no need to eat and rest since he arrived in Xijing, and Xiaozhu doesn't need to eat, but he has the need to sleep, but this need is irregular, and he doesn't know when it will happen.
So stopping to rest wasn't for him to sleep, so the two stayed here just to stay in the house and chat.
Today, Fan Wu began to teach Xiaozhu about the mathematics of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and when it came to the multiplication table, both of them suddenly stopped and listened to the movement outside.
The two of them looked at each other, and both came to the same conclusion, it seemed that there were creatures coming from a distance, and there must be quite a few of them, because they were still far away.
Fan Wu took Xiaozhu quickly to the small attic on the top floor of the house, pushed open the window and looked into the distance, but unfortunately the window opened in the wrong direction and did not see anything.
The two of them climbed out of the window and stood directly on the roof, and this time they saw that a black line appeared at the end of the line of sight in the opposite direction to the jungle area, slowly coming towards this side.
But now the distance is still very far away, and although both of them have good eyesight, they still can't see what it is.
But Fan Wu was indeed a little worried in his heart, if this was a creature, according to the black line that spanned the entire line of sight, how many of them would be enough?
And judging by the way they have come with follow-up troops, it's hard to see if they should immediately move sideways to avoid the seemingly terrifying army of creatures.
Looking at Xiaozhu beside him, he didn't have any fearful emotions, and he seemed to be a little excited, his eyes were shining and he looked at the black line in the distance, and there seemed to be a little bit of eagerness to try.
"Xiaozhu, what's wrong?"
Fan Wu called out to Xiaozhu, who was full of interest, and Xiaozhu immediately turned around.
"Ah, Brother Wu, what's the matter?"
"It seems that there is a tide of creatures in front of us, and although we don't know what they are, I think we should avoid them sideways and let them go so that nothing will happen. ”
"Yes, Brother Wu, you can do what you say, but I feel that their target is not us, there is no danger at all, we can not leave, just wait for them to pass, and you can also see these creatures by the way, I haven't seen other creatures yet." ”
Fan Wu breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Xiao Zhu's appearance, he thought that he must go to see this group of creatures, fortunately, this little guy was just excited, and he was still able to listen to his own words, but he said that these creatures were not dangerous, did he know what these were? Or had he seen them in a dream?
"Xiaozhu, do you know what kind of creatures these are?"
"I don't know, so I want to stay and see it, but it's up to you to decide whether to stay Brother Wu or not, I can do it." ”
"Then how do you know they're not in danger?"
"I can't explain that, but I naturally feel that they don't threaten our safety, they don't even come to harass us, because their only goal is there. ”
After speaking, Xiaozhu stretched out his hand and pointed to the distance behind him, Fan Wu knew that what he meant should be the jungle area, and he had a bottom in his heart.
Xiaozhu was born with a very keen intuition for danger, otherwise he would not have avoided Fan Wu's tracking so easily at that time, and after understanding, Fan Wu even thought that his acuity was not an acquired skill, it should be a kind of talent, more mysterious and powerful.
Since he said that there is no danger, then there is no need to worry too much about this matter, and in fact, Fan Wu himself really wants to see what kind of creature this thing is, even if Xiaozhu is wrong, it is a big deal to break through and escape for his life, which is quite interesting.
After this period of getting along, Xiaozhu has slowly begun to rely on and trust Fan Wu, and in turn, Fan Wu has become more and more regarded as his younger brother and other relationships, so when he can accommodate, he is still more willing to meet Xiaozhu's wishes.
The most important thing is that in fact, the two of them have been really bored during this time, they have never seen any creatures, it is rare to come so much, if you don't stay to see it, I'm afraid you will regret it in the future.
