I had only taken three or four steps before a very soft light lit up in front of me.Du Ling explained earlier: "I use a bright light source." The crack in the stone was about 20 meters deep. At the end, it looked like a door, but when you got closer, you could see that it was just a piece of metal that didn't match the size. From behind the metal sheet, the space between the metal sheet and the crack in the stone is enough for a person to come and go freely without moving the metal sheet. I said, "What is this? Is it a door?" Du Ling panted rapidly, and the sound of his panting even echoed in the cracks in the stones.

He didn't respond to my words, he came to the metal plate, stretched out his hand, and pushed down the metal plate. In front of our eyes, we suddenly saw a rather large cave, which was as big as a basketball court—this was a very unexpected situation: we knew there would be a space, but we didn’t expect it to be so large. And the situation in this large space is also very strange, it is divided into many small spaces, a kind of transparent cover, each of which is about the same size as a popular shipping container today, so it can also be said to be a room "Rooms" with transparent partitions.

I have been to many similar places, the largest one is on the bottom of the sea, there is still a Soviet general I know, Major General Barman, who stays there to study the materials left by aliens, but like this, put a This is the first time I have seen a large space divided into several "rooms". At a glance, there are about a dozen transparent rooms, and the most eye-catching one is naturally the one with many people crowded in the "room"—it can't be called a human being, but a human body. Naturally, that is the bodies of the earthlings that were borrowed several years ago. These bodies are very well preserved, while their contemporaries have already turned into dust.

Both Bai Su and I walked to that "room" naturally, and stared at the people in the room. They seemed to be no different from ordinary people, wearing coarse clothes, which were exactly the clothes of the people at that time. His expression also seemed very calm, and looked a bit like an extremely exquisite wax figure. Of course, these people are already dead after their bodies are "borrowed", so their expressions are not their original expressions. It's really hard to imagine what kind of misery they had on their faces when they faced the massacre. Bai Su and I were attracted by those people in this room as soon as we came in, it was very natural, because those people in the room were our kind, even the same kind.

Therefore, during that short period of time, we didn't notice the actions of Jin Yue and Du Ling. When we were in a trance, we suddenly heard Jin Yue's exclamation. She was yelling, "What's wrong with you?" This call attracted our attention, and we saw that Du Ling and Jin Yue, in front of a "room" not far from us, stretched out their hands to hold down the transparent "wall", with very ugly expressions , with an inexplicably terrified expression, his body was even shaking. Here, what needs to be added is that in the more than ten "transparent rooms" in this big cave, except for one of them, which is used to store the bodies of more than 60 people, among the rest of the rooms, All kinds of unknown instruments.

When Du Ling's kind came to the earth, they only had a set of memories, not even a single cell. All the equipment and instruments were naturally manufactured by them using the resources on the earth. It seems that they are very good at using unknown raw materials to make this transparent object-artificial glass.The golden moon was once embedded in a whole piece of plexiglass. In the transparent room in the cave, I estimate the thickness of the "wall" to be about five centimeters—it is quite difficult to estimate because of the high transparency. At this time, the "room" that Du Ling was supporting was the same. Inside was a very complicated instrument. Du Ling was staring at the compartment that looked like a sports car, and the instrument with seats was looking at it. .And when Jin Yueyue yelled that sentence, Du Ling suddenly uttered a cry of panic and anger, and hit the transparent "wall" with a heavy blow—even though he was an alien, But the reaction to some things is no different from that of people on earth.His actions at this time indicated that he had discovered something, which was very wrong, so he was startled and angry!

After he punched hard, he turned his head to look at us, indeed he looked shocked and angry, but he also had an expression of disbelief! Here, I need to add again—since there are too many things that happened once I entered the cave, so in the narrative, I have to keep adding. When I first saw them, I used "" The reason is that although they are the size of a room, they are actually just a big cover, because it has no doors and windows, and is airtight. Naturally, I knew that Du Ling must have a way to get in touch with the things in the room, but at least for a while, I couldn't think of that way.

At this time, when we saw Du Ling's situation, Bai Su and I were stunned for a moment. Naturally, we didn't know what happened, Jin Yue had already asked for us, so we didn't have to ask any more. Du Ling didn't wait for us to ask, he shouted: "How is it possible? How is it possible?" When he said this, he pointed to the instrument in that room, his voice sounded very sharp, and it was obvious that he was very anxious in his heart. Bai Su first asked: "What's wrong?" Du Ling suddenly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his voice was even more unpleasant: "There is something missing... a very important thing... that is the space locator, which is used to determine the direction of space navigation. Without this instrument, we I can't go back—"

After he said that, his voice was even more shrill, coupled with the exclamation of Jin Yue from the side, all of a sudden, there were echoes in the cave, as if the end of the world was approaching. For a while, Bai Su and I couldn't imagine how an instrument in such a hidden cave, in a transparent room, would disappear, so we couldn't say anything at all. Du Ling was surprised and annoyed at the same time, kicked heavily on the transparent wall, and yelled: "That thing looks like a transparent ball that glows, who would take it? What's the use of taking the cosmic locator away?"

Originally, seeing his anxious expression was also very sympathetic.But when he said these words angrily, he stared straight at me and Bai Su!This look is very hateful, as if we took away his cosmic locator. If it wasn't for the pitiful look of Jin Yue holding Du Ling's arm with both hands, trembling with anxiety, I couldn't help but utter evil words. I held back a breath, and just asked: "Missing...something, are we suspicious?" Du Ling waved his hand vigorously to express the indignation in his heart, still staring at us, his lips moved, but he didn't make a sound, obviously he wanted to say something, but didn't say it out.

Bai Su sighed: "Are you trying to say that this is another stupid act of the earthlings? As earthlings, we also need to be responsible?" Although Du Ling didn't say anything, his expression showed that he was thinking so in his heart, which was a bit unbearable.I snorted: "How can you tell that it must be done by people on Earth, not your kind?" As I said that, I walked forward, and I slapped the transparent wall with my hands, making a slapping sound: "I don't know how to open these covers, and others may not." Du Ling glared at me, still didn't say anything, just pressed the "wall" with both hands, and lifted it upwards. Unexpectedly, the cover looked big, but it was very light. He lifted it up About fifty centimeters, anyone can get in through the lifted gap. Du Ling's actions are very effective. Anyone who pays attention can know how to get in and take away the cosmic locator. Du Ling must have been very angry, so after he lifted the "cover", he paused for a while, and then lifted it hard again, overturning the entire cover, and fell to one side. He took a step forward and pointed to one of the instruments. Semi-circular groove: "The locator is supposed to be on this." I thought of the broken mountain vines I saw just now outside the crevice of the stone. Obviously, someone has entered here. Although the terrain here is steep, it is not impossible for people who have lived in the mountains for a long time to climb mountains and cross mountains. . Bai Su and I thought of this at the same time and looked at each other.At this time, Du Ling's expression was extremely depressed, he put his head in his hands, and squatted down, while Jin Yue hugged him, pressed his pretty face on his back, opened a pair of big dull eyes, a A look of helplessness. I wanted to say a few words to comfort them, such as "It's good to live on earth with Enenaiai", but I didn't say it immediately because I thought it would have no effect. Bai Su said at this time: "You don't have to be depressed. Anyway, all the instruments are made by using local materials on the earth based on your skills. You can make another one." Du Ling raised his head with a bitter expression: "I don't have this skill—because there is too much knowledge to memorize, we all memorize it in categories." Bai Su let out a low voice, and said again: "You can't send a message back, please send someone of the same kind with such knowledge?" Du Ling shook his head slowly again: "No, if I can communicate, would I still be anxious?" Although Bai Su seems to be very gentle, she has the spirit of perseverance: "Then you don't have to be sad. The thing was here before, but now it's gone. Someone must have come in and taken it away. You can try to get it back." Du Ling was taken aback for a moment, his eyes rolled, obviously he was calculating the possibility of getting the things back. At the same time, I was also calculating, which made me smile bitterly: the chance of getting the thing back is really slim. I don't know who took it away and when it was taken away. In such a poor place with no people, where can I go to track it down? Du Ling's conclusion was obviously consistent with mine, so he shook his head slowly. However, he finally stood up slowly. Jin Yue was still leaning against him, trembling—she was very strong, but at this moment , all the same make people feel that she is very pitiful.Du Ling stretched out his hand and wiped it heavily on his face. He approached the instrument, reached out his hand on a flat metal plate, and touched it a few times—there was no button on the metal plate, but his movements were like Some buttons were touched. Then, after concentrating for a moment, he asked us: "Can you see any strong light?" I shook my head, not even knowing what he meant by asking that. Du Ling said: "Just now I activated some... energy, if the locator is there, it will emit a very strong light." After I listened.My heart moved: "How strong is it?" Du Ling thought for a while: "It depends on how far away it is. If it is at its original position, the strong light it emits will damage the eye tissue and cause blindness in one tenth of a second. .” I was taken aback and couldn't help but rubbed my eyes. Du Ling hurriedly said, "Of course I will teach you how to protect your eyes early in the morning. Now that the things are gone, what else can I say?" At this moment, Jin Yue couldn't bear it anymore, and sobbed. I had already thought of some ideas, but when I cried to her, my thoughts became confused again, so I shouted: "Don't cry." With a loud shout, Bai Su has already asked what I wanted to ask in my heart: "What is the effective distance for the locator to glow when you manipulate it here?" Du Ling raised his head: "Extremely far away—the function of the locator is to determine the position of each star with a straight beam of light. Within a thousand kilometers, it will glow due to my operation here. Naturally, The farther the distance, the weaker the light." Bai Su and I looked at each other again, at this moment, we both had the same idea.Du Ling looked at us suspiciously.I said, "What if it's within a range of about 100 kilometers?" Du Ling took a breath, and he also understood: "The light emitted is still very strong, and it can be found in the sky at night. You mean, at night, use a helicopter to find it?" I nodded: "Yes, you operate the instrument and let us search for it. I believe that if we can climb such a cliff, the people who come here must be the Miao people who live in the mountains, and they cannot come from other places—unless they come from farther away. The aliens. So that thing must be not far away, there will be light at night, and it can be found." Jin Yue also opened her eyes wide, looking at me, and listening to me, she suddenly asked: "How to distinguish... this light from the light?" I laughed: "In my opinion, the lighting method here is no different from that of a thousand years ago, and the light emitted will never be so strong." Du Ling looked bitter, still a little angry: "I hope it hasn't been destroyed. Alas, without the whole set of instruments, this locator is useless at all. I really don't know what the person who took it will do?" Bai Su sighed: "A luminous sphere is also a very attractive object for people who don't know what it is. It is very natural for someone to walk in by accident, find it, and take it away." Du Ling hesitated to speak, judging by his expression, what he wanted to say but didn't say would definitely not be a compliment to the behavior of the earthlings.So I didn't ask him anymore, because at the same time, I remembered the group of aliens who had been to the earth and mistakenly took the Great Wall as a guide to land, so they landed in Lintao, one end of the Great Wall. There is no such thing as stealing or taking without warning on the stars, so they don't know what locks and keys are. Between the stars, due to the difference in behavior, what is the simplest thing on planet A can become the strangest thing that is unheard of on planet B. Bai Su also noticed Du Ling's expression, and she said indifferently: "It seems that although you like beauties on earth, you are not satisfied with everything on earth." Du Ling blurted out, "It's not just dissatisfaction, it's—" He stopped suddenly - he didn't say anything, obviously, most of them were "extremely disgusted"!This time, even Jin Yue felt Du Ling's "extraterrestrial superiority", she frowned: "Including me?" Du Ling smiled cunningly, put his hand on Jin Yue's forehead, and pointed, "I have a certain understanding of the behavior of people on Earth, so I have already eliminated some unbearable memories from your memory. Otherwise, you won’t be able to survive when you arrive on our planet.” I think Du Ling probably did other tricks, similar to "lowering his head", so Ling Jinyue, a wild woman in the desert, is extremely obedient to him. After listening to his words, she has no objection, just Looking at him and smiling sweetly. Bai Su sighed: "People on Earth behave in many ways. As we have discussed, why no one is desperate and just obeys tyranny. It is not absolute. There are many cases of desperate and overthrowing tyranny in history. You should know at this point." The topic returned to the topic again. Du Ling tilted his head, thought for a while, and then said: "It is true that all people on Earth have different personalities and behaviors, and there is no uniform standard." I applauded loudly: "This is the major characteristic of the people on Earth, so that life can be colorful. If everyone is the same, wouldn't it become a robot planet?" Bai Su looked at me a little strangely: "Don't slap your face swollen and look fat. There are many recognized principles, but there are many people who blatantly destroy and don't abide by them. It's better not to have such variety. It's just the earth. Since people are born this way, and there is no way to change it, there is nothing they can do about it.” Du Ling hesitated to speak again, but this time, he spoke out: "Actually, it is not difficult to change the code of life. It can be achieved through very simple biochemical engineering." He said it easily, but Bai Su and I couldn't help but feel a chill when we heard it, and I shouted: "Make everyone the same? This...it's terrible." Du Ling looked at me with a puzzled expression, and then glanced at Jin Yue inadvertently—that made me know that what I thought just now was correct, he had indeed done something to Jin Yue, naturally it was Slightly changed the life code she had inherited. His purpose of doing this is probably for himself, more than for Jin Yue!So at the moment, I curled my lips to express my disdain, but Du Ling just smiled awkwardly, feeling a little guilty. At this time, it was completely dark, and we exited the cave and came to the helicopter. Du Ling took out some "compressed food" to feed us.Of course, eating this kind of food can only eliminate the feeling of hunger and obtain nutrition. If you want to enjoy the taste of food, it is out of the question. Bai Su and I swallowed while winking.Bai Su came to my side, lowered his voice and said: "Don't blame him, he did some tricks, probably to make Jin Yue adapt to his life, for example, to make her completely forget the smell of roasted whole lamb." I swallowed a big mouthful of saliva when I heard it, but said: "It's terrible, you know what I'm thinking, how did this happen." Bai Su also smiled: "If you want others to know, unless you do nothing about it, you and Du Ling are flirting with each other, who doesn't know what you are thinking?" I smiled and said loudly, "It's time to start." Du Ling was still able to maintain his composure. Jin Yueyue's expression was quite tense, and Bai Su was comforting her: "Don't worry, as long as the things are taken by the Miao people in the mountains, this method is very effective." I said: "I'm just afraid that the helicopter will drop from the sky and it will scare the Miao people crazy." Said, Bai Su and I have already walked towards the helicopter, Du Ling followed, entered the cabin with us, pointed out the operation method, and asked us to keep in mind more than ten very important processing devices. Then, he left, hugged each other with Jin Yue, and walked towards the rock crevice. I'm sure that after they entered the rock crevice, because of the narrow rock crevice, they had to go one behind the other, but Jin Yue would definitely be in front of him. behind him, wrapping his arms around his waist. As I started the helicopter, I suddenly asked, "A situation like Du Ling's is abducting a beautiful woman from Earth?" The question is quite funny and weird, but Bai Su still thought about it seriously for a while, and in the sound of the helicopter taking off, she said: "It's really hard to define. Speaking of it, Jin Yue is absolutely willing, but how much is this willingness?" There are elements of his manipulation: but it is certain that the golden moon must be very happy-why bother to pursue it." I'm just asking casually. As for matters between men and women, as long as they are both men and women, what is there to pursue? After the helicopter took off, I adjusted the light-sensitive device to a very high-sensitivity point, and the instructions on the screen said that it could sense the light from a match one kilometer away. Therefore, on several screens, in the darkness, you can see that there are light sources in some places. The Miao people like to use torches. Where there are torches and blazes, they are naturally the places where the Miao people live. If there is no such effect on light Sensing devices are by no means easy to find those seedling holes. Leaving aside the results of our flight exploration, friends who are used to listening to my stories must have already thought that things must be related to Wen Baoyu and Lanjiadong, right?Otherwise, how could two completely unrelated things be told in one story? Since it is placed in one story, it shows that these two irrelevant things will have a relationship sooner or later. It is basically a story, but at the beginning, the story is divided into two ends. But Wen Baoyu went on the road with the Twelve Heavenly Officials, Wen Baoyu remembered Bai Su's advice, and was going to meet Lan Shi first. But when he mentioned this point to the twelve people, the twelve shook their heads together and said in unison: "Beforehand, you can't see her. After you pass the ladder, she will be yours. Why be in a hurry." When Wen Baoyu heard "It's yours", he was sweet from the bottom of his heart, and he also knew that the Miao people had many strange customs, so he couldn't violate them, so they went straight to Miao without even passing through that city. In Xinjiang, at the beginning, the route was similar to when we came, and they also landed at the airport closest to the mountain. Then, they rode donkeys into the mountain. A group of thirteen people, although the Twelve Heavenly Officials grew up in the mountains, they did not dare to travel at night, they traveled during the day and night, and the progress was quite slow. The donkeys were small and good at walking narrow mountain paths, but sometimes, there were no roads at all. They were just advancing among the chaotic rocks, and there was an abyss on one side. Sometimes, when the sky was covered by thick fog, they had to string them together with a rope to move forward slowly. The journey along the way was extremely exciting, and Wen Baoge was naturally elated .
