The first thousand four hundred and thirty chapters of another world (145)(1/2)
Pang Xiaonan is not that optimistic. "Although things designed by higher civilizations may have shortcomings, they are likely to be controlled in their own hands. Just like the virus we designed has caused a certain disaster, it was finally controlled by humans."
"You mean, God acquiesced when we arrived here?" Lima Oda knew that Pang Xiaonan must have discovered something.
"Let me tell you, as soon as we entered New Bloss, I found that people were silently paying attention to us." Pang Xiaonan looked at the sky, wanting to find a pair of eyes or a camera from the stars in the sky. "This is not my own feeling. Many people in our Black Mamba Guard have this feeling."
"But why didn't I feel it?" Lima Oda still refused to believe that everything was arranged. "I only felt that every danger was much more dangerous than the previous experience."
"That's when you haven't experienced too many dangerous moments," Pang Xiaonan took a deep breath of air. He was a little sleepy and wanted to absorb some dark matter in the air to stay awake. "Those scouts have the awareness of anti-scoring because their long-term work has brought them this intuition. Even ordinary people may find that someone is following them. This is all human subconscious."
"Then what you mean, we can get here, thanks to the Creator here for letting us go?" Lima Oda realized that although the previous danger seemed extremely dangerous, she was indeed reserved.
"Think about it, if I am the boss here and I am a god, I will destroy you uninvited guests, will I have a way?" Pang Xiaonan summarized the monsters I encountered before, "For example, I sent prehistoric pythons and prehistoric crocodiles at the same time to increase the number of them. Even if we have strong combat power, we will die without a burial place. For example, if I replaced the rabbit that attacked us with giant spiders, think about it, how can we resist it?"
"Yes, every time we only seem to have one or two people died. It really seems to have been arranged in advance," Lima Oda was inspired by Pang Xiaonan and suddenly realized. "But this is like the program in the game. Those electronic games that pass the level are also arranged in this way. Each level is arranged in a certain way. Each level is difficult to get one level. If you operate it well, you can pass it. If you don't operate it well, you will stop moving forward."
"That's right, it's worthy of being Professor Lima Oda. It's really understandable at all," Pang Xiaonan really felt that talking to scientists was simply a pleasure, and there was no need to tempt himself. "Our current situation is that now we have encountered dinosaurs, and this dinosaurs are definitely not for us to appreciate. These dinosaurs will inevitably bring us some tests, and this test is more difficult than any monsters we have encountered before. Whether we can see the final big boss must first pass the dinosaur level."
"Why can't the dinosaur be the final ultimate boss?" Lima Oda thought to herself that this dinosaur was also a very terrifying existence, and it is understandable to treat it as the ultimate boss in the game.
"No, the image and IQ of the dinosaur cannot be the ultimate boss," Pang Xiaonan remembers that all the games he has played and all the final bosses are not like this. "When you see Brachiosaurus, didn't you say that its IQ is not high? Then the IQ of all dinosaurs will not be much higher. Such a low IQ obviously cannot design this game, so dinosaurs are just an obstacle to our progress."
"What you said makes sense," Lima Oda nodded, "Dinosaurs are indeed not suitable to be God. I think God created us, and he must have created us in his appearance, because we are the smartest creatures in the entire Hallelujah star, so God should be similar to us, at least, the proportion of the body will be similar."
"Yes, God, or gods, should be human-shaped creatures," Pang Xiaonan remembered various myths and tried to search for the appearance of gods inside. "Even if the whole body is not human-shaped, at least part of it is human-shaped, such as human-faced and animal heart, human body, snake tail, animal-headed and human-shaped body. In short, it is impossible for me to be like a dinosaur, and I can't have any connection with humans."
"How many more dangers do you think we will encounter before we can see the final culprit?" Lima Oda obviously believed Pang Xiaonan's theory.
"I don't know," Pang Xiaonan shook his head, "There are 81 difficulties in obtaining the scriptures in the West. Although we cannot compare with the pursuit of the scriptures, the degree of danger should be similar."
"Wow, don't scare me, there are still eighty-one difficulties. If there are a few more difficulties, I can't stand it." Lima Oda remembered so many difficulties she had encountered before, and couldn't help but get goose bumps.
"I feel that we have arrived at the center of New Bloss," Pang Xiaonan had opened his spiritual consciousness before and explored. The lake seemed to be in the center of New Bloss. "I think it's not long before we can see the final big boss. Of course, if we can pass the layers of tests."
"As you say, the level of dinosaurs is very dangerous." When Lima Oda thought of her fighting with dinosaurs, she felt very bloody. This is not a level that human power can defeat.
"There will always be a solution." Pang Xiaonan was not afraid of the challenge of dinosaurs. He was just worried about how to protect his teammates around him, especially Lima Oda who was not sleeping and chatting with him. The other two men were more or less capable, but Lima Oda was a scientist after all, and had no experience in overcoming monsters.
"I think, if we are really in the game of God's creation, he must be watching us somewhere, or our every move should be under his close monitoring." Lima Oda remembered that she used to experiment with a guinea pig, and even if the guinea pig was eating, drinking, and urinating, she could not do without her own control.
"Have you seen a movie called Truman's World?" Pang Xiaonan used to watch Truman's World and admired the director and screenwriter's imagination, but he didn't know if there was this movie in this world. Will the same movie be made on Hallelujah Star?
Lima Oda shook her head, wondering if she hadn't seen it or if the movie didn't appear on Hallelujah Star in sync.
Pang Xiaonan began to recall the content of the movie: "This movie can be said to be a movie in the movie, and the story it tells is like this..."
Thirty years ago, a TV production company adopted a baby, who deliberately trained him to become the protagonist of the world's most popular documentary soap opera "The World of Truman", and the company achieved great success. However, only one person knew all of this, and he was the only protagonist of the show - Truman.
Truman has lived in a small town called Taoyuan Island since he was a child. This island is actually a huge studio. He is the agent of an insurance company in this small town. Truman seems to live the same life as ordinary people, but he does not know that there are thousands of cameras facing him every second in life. The whole world is watching him every moment, and he does not know that everyone around him, including his wife and friends, is an actor in "Truman's World".
Although I felt that everyone seemed to pay attention to him, and everything I did since I was a child had some unexpected dramatic effects, none of these made this simple young man care too much. However, due to temporary negligence, the production team of the program actually made the "father" who "dead" because of him when Truman was a child appear again. The "father" was immediately taken away by the staff. Until Truman was extremely sad and began to doubt, they weaved a perfect lie to let them meet "father and son" to achieve their satisfactory effect.
Many years ago, a young girl, Schvia, who was both a loyal audience of "Trumen's World" and an extra on the show, sympathized with Truman. Truman fell in love with her at first sight. She gave Truman some kind hints, but she was forcibly taken away from the set. Truman, who recalled Schvia, began to recognise his life. Gradually, Truman discovered that everyone in the company he worked in was only started to work after he appeared. The same people and cars were repeatedly traveling on the road near his house. What made him even more unbelievable was that his wife, who claimed to be a doctor and went to the hospital to work every day was not a doctor. Truman began to doubt the world he lived in, including his wife, friends, father, etc., were lying to him, and a fear came from the heart.
Learning from his mistakes, he decided to escape from Taoyuan Island, a small town that made him silent at all costs, and find his true life and the people who truly love him. However, Truman underestimated the power of Christopher, who combines the producer, director and producer of this soap opera. Christopher designed everything almost perfectly, and has firmly controlled Truman in the surreal world of Taoyuan Island for the past 30 years.
After several escapes failed, Truman decided to leave the small town from the sea, but he was desperate to find that the sea and sky in front of him were actually part of this huge studio. At this time, Christopher told Truman about the ins and outs of the matter in the huge control room in the sky, and told Truman that he is now the most popular star in the world. Everything he has achieved today is unimaginable to ordinary people. If he is willing to stay on Taoyuan Island, he can continue his star life. Truman is unmoved and resolutely embarks on the road of freedom in the distance...
After telling the content of the movie, Pang Xiaonan looked at Lima Oda meaningfully and said, "Look, we thought we had the whole world, but this world may be a set created by the gods for us. It's just that everyone in this world is the protagonist, and unlike Truman's world, the only real protagonist is Truman."
"It's so scary. As you say, our every move may be under the surveillance of others." As a woman, Lima Oda always feels that it's better not to expose some privacy to the public, but in the eyes of gods, there is no privacy at all.
"As the saying goes, there are gods three feet above your head. Everything we say and do may be recorded by the so-called immortal camera," Pang Xiaonan turned his head to look at Lima Xiaonan, and raised his lips, "But don't worry, immortals are not that leisurely. There are so many people in Hallelujah, and he doesn't have time to stare at everyone."
"I'm scared to death," Lima Oda touched her chest and finally let go, "You're right. The gods can't be idle and have nothing to do to stare at me every day. Maybe there are so many people in Hallelujah, only some of them are the protagonists, and the others are for the supporting roles of the protagonists, so the gods have to stare at the protagonists, and they don't care much about our every move."
"It's like a camera at an intersection," Pang Xiaonan compared it. "It has a certain punishment mechanism. If you drive according to traffic rules, the camera will turn a blind eye to you, but if you violate traffic rules, the camera will take pictures of what you do and settle the score with you."
"Yes, the same is true for the cameras of gods," Oda Lima instantly understood the principle of gods surveillance on humans. "It is possible that the protagonist's every move is always monitored, but the supporting character's surveillance sets a rule. As long as you do not violate the rules set by gods, you will not have a criminal record in the gods. Just like we observe guinea pigs. If it survives according to our expectations, then we will not pay attention to them, but if they get sick or do not act according to our expectations, then we will focus on and record."
"The world is not kind to treat all things as straw dogs, and scientists are not kind to treat all things as straw dogs..." Pang Xiaonan sighed. In fact, humans sometimes blame the laws of nature for being too cruel. Are humans also cruel?
"What does it mean?" Lima Oda obviously had never heard of the proverb that Pang Xiaonan said.
"It means that you scientists are too cruel and treat everything as grass." Pang Xiaonan explained exaggeratedly. Since you don't understand, it's easy to fool.
"Come on, you still kill everything like hemp." Lima Oda was not willing to be outdone, and she exaggerated Pang Xiaonan's cruel side to the fullest.
Pang Xiaonan has to admit that when he is fighting monsters, he treats all things as straw dogs, and there is no way to do so. If he does not treat all things as straw dogs, then all things will treat him as straw dogs.
"Why are you not sleeping?" Pang Xiaonan had to change the topic. Although he was not sleepy, it did take some energy to chat with him. He still had to seize the time to absorb some spiritual energy.
"I can't sleep, hey, you said I've discovered dinosaurs, so where can I have the heart to sleep?" Lima Oda could not suppress her excitement at this moment. "As a paleontologist, there is nothing more exciting than discovering dinosaurs."
"I think you'd better think about the damage that dinosaurs may bring," Pang Xiaonan felt that the woman in front of her was really fussy. She had discovered so many prehistoric monsters before, but she didn't get excited. Maybe the concept of dinosaurs was deeply rooted in people's hearts. "It's not right. Don't think about dinosaurs, as you can only be more unable to sleep."
It is difficult for people to fall asleep in fear. Pang Xiaonan feels that what he reminds him is a bit inappropriate.
"You said, will dinosaurs come to attack us at night?" Lima Oda suddenly thought of a terrible question. It was Pang Xiaonan who said that dinosaurs are a terrible level, so the attack of dinosaurs is inevitable, it is just a matter of time choice.
"It shouldn't be true, dinosaurs have to sleep too." Pang Xiaonan learned to be smart, and tried to comfort Lima Xiaotian psychologically, let her fall asleep early, and let herself take time to absorb spiritual energy earlier.
"But we don't know when dinosaurs will sleep." Lima Oda got into the horns because there was no evidence that dinosaurs just like humans, resting at sunrise and sunset.
"If you think so, if a dinosaur wants to attack a person, you have to find a clear time when you can see it clearly. Even if it doesn't sleep, it still has to see it." Pang Xiaonan can only find evidence that the dinosaurs do not attack their prey at night from a physical perspective.
"Well, it makes sense, but I'm still a little scared." After all, it's a woman, and Lima Oda's psychological quality is not like the men around her, and she needs care.
"Don't be afraid, I'm there." Pang Xiaonan got up and patted his chest, "You'll sleep here, I'll protect you."
Pang Xiaonan patted the land around him heavily and made a promise with swearing. His tone was very firm, giving people an extremely safe feeling.
"Yes, even if dinosaurs attack during the day, it will depend on you in the end." Lima Oda finally let go, and she fell beside Pang Xiaonan. The flames reddished her face, which was very beautiful.
Suddenly, Lima Oda opened her eyes, fluttered her long eyelashes, and told Pang Xiaonan: "Promise me, you must protect yourself first."
Pang Xiaonan was deeply surprised and scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "No, my duty is to protect the lives and safety of every scientific expedition team member, so I will protect you first."
"This is almost the same." Lima Oda finally closed her eyes with satisfaction.
"Damn, it turns out that they are all routines, you guy." Pang Xiaonan cursed in his heart, "Woman's heart is a needle under the sea."
When Xiaotian Lima fell asleep, she snored slightly, and Pang Xiaonan began to meditate and entered into meditation, using her power to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.
The concentration of spiritual energy in the center of the new Bloss is much richer than that in the outer area. But after taking a few sips, Pang Xiaonan felt that his fatigue was wiped out all day long, and his mind was extremely clear.
"It's indeed a treasure land for cultivation." Pang Xiaonan thought that without these scientific expedition team members, he could stay in this new Blos for a while. Maybe it would be a quick time to break through to the martial arts master.
The surrounding environment is very quiet, and there is not even a sound of insects. Maybe it is because it is unlucky here, or maybe it is because the insects have not hatched in this world. After all, this is an era when they are with dinosaurs, and insects have not appeared yet.
The spiritual energy flows around Pang Xiaonan and is invisible to ordinary people, but Pang Xiaonan can feel that this spiritual energy not only comes from all directions, but the most powerful one comes from the lake. No, strictly speaking, it comes from the bottom of the lake.
Pang Xiaonan's spiritual consciousness could already feel a long distance. Even the intensity of the spiritual energy and where it came from, formed a holographic phantom in his mind, which was also why he could roughly feel the direction and map of the new Bloss.
This huge spiritual power continued to rise from the bottom of the lake to the surface of the lake. Because of Pang Xiaonan's power, it flowed to Pang Xiaonan's side and was completely absorbed into his body.
"Is there any treasure trove at the bottom of the lake?" Pang Xiaonan was very surprised. Although he had taken time to absorb spiritual energy since entering New Bloss, a powerful spiritual energy like tonight was unprecedented. Including his previous experiences, he had never encountered such a pure and powerful aura.
Pang Xiaonan really wanted to sneak into the bottom of the lake to find out, but he thought about his current situation and had three teammates around him to take care of. If he went, these three people would be completely exposed to this unknown world. Maybe there would be enemies who would take the opportunity to kill several people.
Thinking of this, Pang Xiaonan still gave up the idea of going to the bottom of the lake to search for treasures and made up his mind. If he had no bonds from his teammates in the future, he would concentrate on exploring the bottom of the lake. He firmly believed that he would find something. With this aura that made people stand out, the bottom of the lake must be colorful.
After only half an hour of sucking, Pang Xiaonan felt that the spiritual energy in his body was a little full. It seemed that the central area of New Bloss was indeed extraordinary. It can be described as the Huatianbao, otherwise the existence of dinosaurs would not have gathered here. After all, dinosaurs' appetite is amazing. If there is no sufficient food to supplement, they will not stay for a long time.
So, Pang Xiaonan no longer actively sucked spiritual energy, but closed his eyes and rested, occasionally inhaling two breaths of spiritual energy, maintaining a calm and peaceful breath, quietly feeling the fluctuations of the surrounding aura, and entering a state of false sleep.
Except for the occasional crackling sound of flames, the surrounding environment is as silent as it is. It is difficult for ordinary people to fall asleep in this environment. Perhaps because of the protection of Pang Xiaonan, the rest of the people even snore like pigs, perhaps because they are really too tired during the day.
In order to keep the bonfire from extinguishing, Pang Xiaonan stood up once a while and added a little fire. The fire could not be extinguished because in the wild, the flames could block the attacks of some wild beasts. The wild beasts were afraid of fire because they could not conquer the fire. The wild beasts were accustomed to using the cover of the night to hunt, and the light made them unable to hide, so they did not have enough sense of security to encourage them to hunt without confidence.
Animals may not know nothing about fire. There will be natural fire caused by lightning strikes and excessive drought in the forest. They may have seen fire generated in human production activities. Secondly, animals are not necessarily afraid of fire, especially fires of limited scale, which they should know that it does not pose a threat. In addition, some animals also like fire, not only moths, but many birds also like fire. To be precise, they like insects driven out by fire. Some members of the beast also know how to find food in the remains of fire.
The fire that animals fear is a kind of fire with a large range of burning and a rapid spread. The torches in people's hands will not have much deterrent effect on them. Perhaps people can scare them with torches. If animals insist on attacking you, the torches themselves are useless, and sometimes it will make the animals feel coerced and take counterattack measures. For example, holding a torch while walking at night will easily be attacked by poisonous snakes in the grass.
When people camp in the forest, they will light a bonfire in the camp. As long as the bonfire is maintained at a certain level, many wild beasts dare not approach it. This is not because they are afraid of the lethality of the fire itself, but because they are accustomed to hunting activities using the cover of the night. The light makes them unable to hide, so there is no sense of security to encourage them to conduct unsure hunting activities. We are more suitable for activities with a certain degree of visibility, and having a bonfire is also conducive to our defense and counterattack activities. Unusual bonfires may attract curious beasts to patrol nearby, but they rarely dare to expose themselves to our sight because they are afraid of people by nature.
Although Pang Xiaonan doesn't know if this experience is the same, it's better to have fire than not. For humans, having fire means a larger vision range and a greater grasp of the attacks of wild beasts.
Before he knew it, the night was already half over. According to the principle, Pang Xiaonan should have woken up Wu Yongqiang to serve him, but he did not do so. First, he was no longer sleepy, and second, he wanted to give Wu Yongqiang a better rest. After all, since entering New Bloss, no one has had enough rest, especially the members of the Black Mamba Guard who are under strong pressure every day. They need a lot of sleep.
Thinking about another fierce battle tomorrow, Pang Xiaonan decided to let Wu Yongqiang sleep well and continue on duty.
When Pang Xiaonan felt that it was almost dawn, a low howl awakened him from his state of closing his eyes and resting.
Immediately afterwards, howlings began to rise and fall, from whimpering to loud and long hissings, "No, there are enemies."
Pang Xiaonan felt the murderous aura in the air. He opened his spiritual consciousness and released it a few miles away. He found a group of wild beasts approaching the place where they were sleeping.
"Why didn't you feel any aura fluctuation at night?" Pang Xiaonan clearly remembered that when he was meditating at night, he did not feel the breath of an enemy. Logically speaking, even if these wild beasts found them, they sent scouts at night.
"Can they detect the breath of prey from afar?"
Pang Xiaonan's guess is basically correct. If he can use his spiritual consciousness to detect dangers in the distance, then these wild beasts may have evolved to the level of a thousand miles away and can smell the breath of prey from afar.
As howling sounds came one after another, Wu Yongqiang woke up, "Pang Xiaonan, why didn't you wake me up all night?"
Wu Yongqiang found that it was early in the morning when he woke up, it was already light and knew that he had been sleeping all night.
"Looking at how sound you are sleeping, I can't bear to wake you up, but don't worry, I'll have a rest too." Pang Xiaonan did not go to see Wu Yongqiang, but focused on exploring the source of the howling, trying to figure out what monster this was approaching.
"Is this a pack of wolves?" Wu Yongqiang got up, walked to Pang Xiaonan's side, and looked around vigilantly.
"It's a bit like a wolf howling, but it seems to be a little deeper than a wolf howling." Pang Xiaonan also thought it was a wolf pack at first, but this scream could not be completely matched with the wolf pack.
"I think it's a bit like a wolf howl, and a bit like a tiger's roar." Wu Yongqiang pointed out and summed up the monster's screams very well. After all, he had met tigers and wild wolves in the jungle before.
To be continued...
