4.6 Billion Year Symphony of Evolution
1302 `` Same kind '' meet
'boom--!!!'
"Reappeared ..."
Here is ... deep inside the dark, in the intricate cave system, a creature named Atlan is running fast.
It is incredible that it can run so fast, because it has been in the 'life freezing system' for hundreds of years, but the strange blocks have somehow restored it quickly.
Because it recovered, it can also escape from the collapsed refuge, but its actions are not over.
As a price, Atlan must complete the task of those strange blocks-to find a place, sleep, so that you can get a lot of information.
"Is it really possible to get a lot of information?" Although the Atlan was a researcher before, he didn't know much about the world.
In fact, most of Atlan is the same, they are difficult to believe the fact that the world is alive, but ... the reason they came here is because ... received a certain signal.
'boom--!'The environment around Atlantan shook again, and a large number of small stone fragments hit its head, which made its pace faster.
"It seems that the war above was very fierce ... It used to be the same." Atlan remembered the days when it had escaped into the refuge before. Countless Atlan died because of the war. Underneath, at that time ... only fear and nightmare accompanied it.
Now, it has to be with the creatures that forced it into the refuge.
But it doesn't matter anymore. Since the population is going to be extinct, it has no choice but to survive.
"But what war are they fighting now? Is this the world itself ... or those ... not good!" Atlan, who was sprinting, stopped suddenly and hid in a stone pillar beside him after that.
Because, it found a white, fluffy object floating in the cave in front of it.
"You have to avoid those fluffy balls." Atlan remembered what a square told him before: "Those things will hinder your movement and may kill you, but if you hold this tight, you won't be found. But this only has an effect at a certain distance, you can't run directly to the front of the other party. "
Atlan looked at what he was holding with his finger. It was a ten centimeter square.
When holding it, Atlan will have some strange feelings, and the fluff ball does not notice its appearance, but because it does not know which side of the pompon is considered to be 'positive', it has to hide After the stone pillar, wait for the other party to leave.
Atlan glanced his head out of the stone pillar and found that the pom-pom was gone, and then came out carefully.
'boom--!!'The cave shook again, and Atlan quickly hurried forward.
"This world is collapsing." Another cube told it this way: "If you can't complete the mission before the world collapses, then you will also be destroyed together."
Atlan thought of them, immediately took out the map and looked at it.
This map is also given to it by a square. This is a map drawn on a material like soft skin in a very original way, and it is also very rough.
But it was unexpectedly easy to understand. After confirming his position, Atlan immediately turned a corner and continued to move forward.
"This is ..."
At the moment of the turn, a bright and expansive space appeared in front of Atlan's eyes, which looked like a huge underground cave.
Numerous spiky plants covered the ground, and on the top of the cave, there were many things shining brightly, illuminating the whole area.
"Although I've heard it before, it's incredible to see it directly ..."
But what attracted Atlan most was the white pompoms ...
A large number of fluffy balls grow like fruits on various needle-punched plants. Atlan found that these pompoms are rapidly expanding, and the plants attached to them will slowly wither away and completely wither. Afterwards, the pom-poms that swell to a large size will explode, split into more fine pom-poms and then stick to other plants.
"Are the balls a kind of parasite?" Atlan looked at the pompoms of the forest. It suddenly felt a familiar feeling. It felt ... it seemed to have communicated with these balls before.
But it has no such memory.
"What the hell is going on ..." The more Alan thought, the more she found a blank memory part in her mind, which made it feel a little dizzy. It could only give up and continue thinking, and then it walked in In the jungle.
Although there are pom-poms everywhere in the jungle, they are usually only in high places. Atlan, with the hiding of those low plants, it thinks that it has not been discovered and quickly shuttles through the jungle.
The target it wants to find is in this jungle, as if it can be reached through a hole in the jungle.
'boom--!'At this time, the earth suddenly shuddered, and a huge stone fell from the sky, hitting more than three meters in front of Atlan.
"Ah!" Atlan almost smashed, and screamed. He quickly backed up a few steps and looked up. Its vision through the gap between the plants, you can see the huge rock wall at the top of the cave. crack.
It seems that it was caused by the shock just now. Those huge stones also fell from the cracks, and the cracks continued to spread. With the explosion of the cracks, the whole underground world made a rumble.
"Is it here ..." Atlan felt a panic filled his head quickly, but it suddenly saw the scene of surprise, the large and small pompoms on the plant suddenly flew up, and they all flew towards In the crack that appeared on the top of the cave, and stuffed himself into the crack.
When a crack filled the pompon, the crack no longer expanded, and the surrounding vibration slowly stopped.
Atlan looked at this scene in surprise, but it quickly remembered that it had something to do, and left quickly.
"right here……"
After walking for a while, it found the hole it was going to based on the rough map. This is indeed a hole in the ground, about two meters in diameter, just enough to let it go in.
After entering the cave, it did not enter the darkness, but found that the surroundings were filled with wonderful fluorescence. These fluorescence were protruding from the walls of the cave, and were emitted by objects similar to tree roots. Place, because there are these strange glowing objects written on the map.
"Complete quickly and leave ..."
Atlan's footsteps quickened. Although it was beautiful here, it did not forget that the outside was collapsing.
"Ah!" And just when it was just a few steps forward, a big sword ran across it, and the sharp blade almost touched Atlan's neck, or if it stopped in time, I'm afraid the head is already somewhere else.
At the same time, Atlan also saw a strange creature suddenly appear in front of it ...
"You ... you are ..."
The creature that Atlan saw was that it was extremely surprised, because this creature ... looks exactly like it.
It wears a wonderfully styled armor all over, and it also has a big sword in its hand, which looks like it is playing a movie role.
Although its shape is wonderful, what makes Atlan feel the most strange is that there will be its kind here!
"Are you also living in a refuge?" Atlan immediately raised an excited question about it.
Because it has been a long time ... I haven't seen any of them.
The 'kind' holding the big sword was stunned for a moment, and then said a few words that Atlan could not understand.
"What? Language barrier?"
Atlan was also stunned. Generally speaking, there was no such thing as language.
This 'kind' also noticed this situation, and Atlan found it stretched out his hand, and then pressed a structure like a button on the side of the helmet.
"Now do you understand?" And then what it said, Atlan suddenly understood.
"What?" Atlan said in surprise: "How did you do it?"
"My helmet has a 'translation' function." This fellow said: "You just wanted to enter this place? This place is not allowed to enter, no matter what kind of creature."
"I ..." Atlan doubted. "Wait ... Are you out of the shelter? What is your name?"
"What refuge? Name? I have forgotten my name long ago, you just call me the brave." The same kind of self-proclaimed "brave" said: "I haven't seen you, where did you come from? Why did it grow So strange? "
"The brave ..." Atlan froze for the word again, but it continued quickly: "I was in shelter 13 ... wait, don't you know the shelter? You are not living in a shelter Are you here? Since you are still alive, there should be other companions! "
"I live in a very remote place." The brave said: "You seem to be different from the creatures here. I saw you this weird thing for the first time."
"Weird?" Atlan said: "Aren't we the same?"
"It's the same?" Said the brave. "Where is the same? Look at yourself."
With that, the brave put the sword in front of Atlan, and through the reflection of the light on the sword, Atlan saw himself.
"what is this?"
When Atlan saw her there was a moment of consternation, and he found that although his body shape had not changed, it was completely covered by metal, and the material of the metal was exactly the same as those blocks.
"When ..." Atlan found out that he seemed to have completely become ... a machine.
"Have you never seen yourself?" The brave man looked at it and couldn't help laughing: "Hah, that's really strange."
