Chapter Thirty-Five - The Sea and the Land
"Why are you...so many?!How did you come out of the shelter? And...how did you find me..."
"We have been killed by those iron nails in the shelter for a long time... Without seeing the light of day, there is no freedom. It is not that we cannot get out, but that we are unwilling to get out. We came here by obeying Xuan Yi's orders. He said that if he is gone, let us stay in the shelter with peace of mind. When someone gives us the strength to break free, we will naturally break the shackles. This is our promise."
"Xuanyi?" I remembered the big spider in the outpost laboratory, and the small sign with the name Xuanyi engraved on its neck.
"He is your previous master."
Liuliu nodded.
"Where is that one in the lab?"
A big spider crawled off the roof of the tent and swayed at me, "It's me."
"Oh my God, how do you communicate?" The refuge and the outpost laboratory are thousands of miles apart. How did they achieve such accurate positioning...
"We don't need to communicate, our eyes are public."
"Common? What does it mean?"
"We can see everything Liuliu sees, so as long as we have seen one of you, the others will know you."
This is a creature that is more advanced than humans!
Public eyes... Isn't that just like we go online, editing the things we have seen into the database on the Internet? If other people don't know anything, just search in the database and you can see relevant texts, pictures and videos. But obviously the database of these human-headed spiders is more advanced. They don't need to search, which is a completely first-level experience!
"Then... do I need to name you all?" To be honest, I can only distinguish my appearance until now because it has newly grown granulation on its face.
“We are all lyo…”
The organs of these spiders should only pronounce some tone words. Through consciousness communication, their vocal cords may shrink a bit and can only make some strange monosyllable sounds, but this does not affect our communication.
Their appearance here is a threat to the campers, to me, and to themselves, and will cause a lot of trouble.
"Liuliu, listen to me, you go to the direction of the shelter first, we will gather there soon, you must be careful of concealment, remember not to attack people on their own initiative, hide and wait for me!"
Liu Liu nodded gently and disappeared into the camp like a ghost with a group of spiders.
"Come to my tent." Wenna sent a message to me. I saw that there was no one around, and I lowered my head and walked quickly towards Wenna's tent.
She was already waiting for me there.
"Winna, do you know? Those spiders, they..." I was so excited that I couldn't organize my language.
Wenna looked at me and smiled, "I know everything."
"But aren't they from Xuanyi? Why did they let me be their master?"
"You will understand in the future..."
Regarding Xuan Yi, Wen Na always talked about it, but I was not sure how long it would take to arrive in the future, and whether there would be any future...
Afterwards, we stayed in the desert camp for two more days, and Zhao Kai's condition gradually stabilized, but during this period, the people in the shelter did not contact us.
Of course, the new animals that escaped from the outpost lab seemed to have disappeared from the earth. In the past few days, during the search and rescue operations in the desert camp, several of us were involved in trying to see if we could find some traces of these grafted animals, but they were all futile.
"I hope they will lose their feed after leaving the laboratory and die in the wilderness." Zhao Kai heard the news of the new animal searching for hopelessness, leaning lonely on a pillar. I looked at his empty cuffs and felt a little unworthy for him... If it weren't for those things, we wouldn't have gone to the cave overnight, and he wouldn't have lost an arm.
But I also feel a little guilty... After all, those spiders are mine now... They will appear there for me because they are not the Godfather's fault, which is probably the case, so I have never mentioned those spiders again. I am afraid that I can't explain clearly. Once the relationship between the spider and me is exposed, I think he will hold a grudge against me for the rest of his life.
"The time is almost over. Thank you for your care. We have other tasks to be carried out, so we won't bother you anymore." Feng said to the person in charge of the desert camp, "If you are convenient, can you take us a ride?"
"That's all a small problem." The people in the desert camp responded happily.
"But we have a little favor, I hope you can help..."
"What are you good at? We will definitely help you if you can help." Feng said.
"Can you guys who brought back the boat coffin last time take our guys again?"
The wind looked at me, and I nodded, indicating that it didn't matter.
"This time we will bring more people and bring more equipment to see if we can bring all the coffins they mentioned back to the camp. The weather in the desert is changing rapidly. Will it be a sandstorm period in another week? Our camp will be moved elsewhere. Is it difficult to find these things after the sandstorm."
This time, Xiwu, Chaoyang and Yu were accompanying each other, leaving the wind to continue to take care of Zhao Kai. A large army was organized in the desert camp, and we followed the large army to find the place where the thick smoke was lit last time.
There was no thick smoke, and our group drove forward in the approximate direction, but after walking for more than an hour, we could not find the standing trees.
"What's going on? We arrived in half an hour last time." The person who spoke was Ada, who discovered Limu with us last time. After getting along with him these two days, he felt that this person has a good personality. If we have the opportunity to meet again, we will become good friends.
This time, we spread and searched in this area and searched everywhere, but we could not find any traces of those standing trees, so we could only return without success.
On the way back, I found fragments of the sand motorcycle that was swallowed by the gap last time.
"We didn't look for the wrong direction, it was the standing trees that disappeared," I said.
Although I don’t know what the specific reason is, I’m afraid I will never find those magical stands and ship coffins again.
Their person in charge was still very unwilling, "How is that possible? It's impossible that other institutions will come here later. Let's take all those things away first!"
I remembered the beautiful female corpse, and hoped that it would not be as he said, as best, that these standing trees had fallen deeper into the ground, so that these dead souls would never be invaded by the world and would be purified.
On the way back, Ada sat next to me, and he lowered his voice to me.
"I went back and thought about what the person who studied last time said, and I found a bug in the middle!"
"Oh? What bug?"
"These mummies have been around for thousands of years. Think about it, will this place be a desert? Isn't their ships and pulp only available on the coastal areas? If they had lived in the desert at that time, where had they seen these ships and pulp?"
I felt that what he said seemed to make some sense, so I nodded and asked him to continue speaking.
"In other words, if the water resources here were abundant in the past, or if it was a lake or even an endless sea, then what he said about the process of drying and sealing the mummy made by cowhide, wouldn't the two be contradictory?"
I smiled, "I can only wait for them to continue researching, and maybe there will be more accurate answers in the future..."
