A hunting adventure [unlimited]

The author has something to say:

Remember to read the last chapter, it has been replaced.

In the dark cave, without wind and light, they walked 200 meters, and finally penetrated the rock wall and entered the hollowed out mountain.

They thought that there would be a long and deep darkness waiting for them in the mountains, but finally a ray of light purple fluorescence welcomed their arrival.

The purple light was at the end of the cave, He Anli jumped over the Wuma and walked towards it quickly.

There is no architectural style or ornamentation here, and the only remains of the rock layer are simple and unpretentious construction traces; if this place is a temple, then compared with the magnificence and splendor of the stone tower, it is really rough and crude and does not match the specifications of the temple.

When the truth came out in front of his eyes, even Yu Zhen outside the camera was deeply shocked, and the cashew nut in his hand fell to the ground.

A huge sculpture stands in the cave, it is [-] meters high, and it is carved from a whole piece of lavender transparent crystal ore. The curves of the body are looming, and it is not possible to distinguish between male and female.

The inside of the statue's body was hollowed out, and the chest and lower abdomen were shaped like two symmetrical funnels, connected by a thin tube. The snow-white crystal powder flowed from the chest cavity to the belly, forming a pointed sand dune.

This is an hourglass.

With such a huge volume and special shape, it obviously cannot be turned upside down and can only be used for one-time use.

"The timer..." He Anli murmured, "It's a countdown."

But what time is it used to measure?

Wuma looked up at the majestic and magnificent sculpture, which was the statue of God.It was different from the dream he had heard. The idol in the dream was made of gray jade, but what they found was amethyst-like ore; but judging from the perspective of appreciating artworks, its size and craftsmanship are miraculous.

It's a pity that the original body of the statue is very similar to the appearance of a human being, so it lacks surprises for him.

He likes more creative creatures, such as those mutated vines and new carnivorous species with various shapes, which are far more graceful and interesting than the cookie-cutter human body.

Wuma's eyes swept across the wall of the cave, and there were uneven relief carvings on the rock surface behind the giant statue.

"Doctor, look there." He reminded.

He Anli was immediately attracted, and she said, "I want to go up."

"Ok."

With Wuma's help, she climbed onto the shoulders of the giant statue.

He Anli squatted on the statue's collarbone, holding its trapezius muscle with her hand. She lit up the relief on the rock wall, frowning, and muttering nonstop.

After a cursory glance, she spotted a map of galaxies in one corner of the mural.Her eyes were bright at first, and then became dark and confused, "Wuma, come and see here."

Wuma climbed to the same height as her.

He Anli: "The solar system is drawn there, right?"

Wuma: "Yes, it's the solar system."

He could even see clearly which dot represented the earth.

He Anli: "The temple in Mr. Pranvelin's dream, the murals should be the galaxy of Ciel-t45...but the painting here is actually our solar system."

At this point, dreams and reality are completely separated.

……

The process of interpreting the murals was long and boring. Yu Zhen held on for a while and fell asleep on the sofa. It was already night when he woke up again.

He Anli's crying on the screen woke him up.

Wuma only stood on one side, watching her kneel at the feet of the giant statue, weeping bitterly.

"What happened?" Yu Zhen asked.

The child stared at the screen intently, and said, "While you fell asleep, they finished reading the murals on the mountain cave."

Yu Zhen: "Oh?"

Since confessing his true identity, the child no longer deliberately spoke to him in a childish tone, and stated what he missed in a coherent manner:

The original body of that giant statue is the heavenly spirit recorded in the stone disc. They come from the distant starry sky. According to the right ascension coordinates, it is estimated that they are probably in a galaxy in the constellation of Aquila, a place that humans cannot reach at present.The people of the Celestial Race have no face, or their face is that thing like a blank mask.

If the genetic test report is correct, the Celestials have created many species, including the Ciel-t45 giants and Earth humans. The giants of Ciel-t45 have a long lifespan and strong physical strength, but they are infertile; humans have a short lifespan and weak constitution, but they can last for generations.

Unlike humans who are obsessed with pursuing their own origins; the giants have never interrupted their connection with the Creator. The temples and stone towers on this planet are all built by them to worship the Celestials, especially this purple crystal mine statue, which costs Aboriginal people for thousands of years.

According to the murals, they received a gift from the Creator when they were built.

However, this temple and those stone towers have been abandoned for 3000 years.In other words, after receiving the gift from the gods, the giant race disappeared.

——Actually, from the perspective of a bystander, it is not difficult to understand that the so-called gift from the gods is the reason for their extinction.

Yu Zhen clearly remembered the written information recorded on the stone plate narrated by He Anli. At the end, the giants smeared "God's gift" on their faces and entered the stone tower.

He thought that the story had no ending, but in fact the ending had already appeared before their eyes; those people were all dead, headless corpses that would not rot, buried in the darkness that would never see the sun.

There were also more than a dozen skullless corpses on the spaceship. Based on the animal remains that Lin Qi picked up in the giant underground forest, the "gift" should be a biochemical weapon with extremely high lethality; Extinct, leaving only some low-level pharyngeal slit animals and plants.

"But why?" Yu Zhen asked, "Why did you create them and then destroy them?"

Du Yu opened his mouth and closed it again, not telling him the last prophecy of the mural.

……

The question Yu Zhen raised was also He Anli's question. She lay at the feet of the statue, crying hoarsely.

Since childhood, countless voices have told her in her ears that God loves the world and God has mercy on all beings.

Now she finally found the real God, but the answer she got was endless confusion.

"...Why do you want to destroy us? Why do you hate us?" She looked up at the face of the statue, it was empty, there was neither pity nor indifference, it was just blank.

Her questions will never be answered.

Wuma stepped forward to help her up, and said, "Let's go, Doctor, there... is nothing here."

No hope, no god who loves you.

He Anli broke away from his hand, "You don't understand, Wuma, you don't understand..."

"I understand." Wuma lowered her hand and looked down at her helplessly, "God doesn't love you, just like humans don't love me, I understand the disappointment."

"I want to know why!" she said hysterically, "Why did you create us and destroy us?"

"If one day, you can see them alive... Maybe there will be an answer to your question."

Facing He Anli, who had collapsed and her faith collapsed, Wuma took out a tranquilizer, walked behind her, and comforted her: "Only if you survive and return to the earth can you continue to explore, save more people, and find Final answer."

Wuma struck quickly and lightly, the needle pierced He Anli's skin, and the instant she was pulled out, she fell down.

Then the screen went black and he turned off the camera.

……

Yu Zhen sat upright, slapped her thigh and said, "Why is he like this?"

***

When God creates a species, he also creates its natural enemies.

Wuma stared longingly at the white crystal powder inside the transparent amethyst, that is the natural enemy of all carbon-based life.It is highly contagious like a virus, it can grab the excellent genes of all creatures, and use the body of the creature to hatch a new hybrid life form, creating an unprecedented parasitic civilization.

This substance can rewrite the DNA of plants, turning harmless green leafy branches into carnivorous creatures.But its greatest danger is reflected in animals. The new life hatched by this substance through animal genes is extremely destructive, bloodthirsty and ferocious, no different from wild beasts.

Perhaps this is the power of gods, the biochemical weapons of high-level intelligent creatures, without the need for floods, tsunamis, earthquakes or volcanic eruptions, just a tiny bit of powder can destroy a planet and a race.

He has long reminded He Anli not to have any illusions about the Creator, who can create you as well as destroy you.

But he understands He Anli's sadness, he is thankful that humans did not create a real heart for him, otherwise it would have been broken countless times.

At the end of the mural is a prophecy about the blue planet in the solar system surrounded by sea water.

When the quicksand runs out, it is the day when the gift descends on the earth.

Human beings' names for the last days are always inseparable from words such as doomsday judgment, divine punishment, and divine dispatch.Unexpectedly, in another language system, death is called "a gift from God".

Maybe God thought it was a gift, after all, the earth does not belong to humans, and changing the lord is a gift to that piece of land.

Wuma looked at the last white sand in the statue's chest, even he couldn't estimate the remaining time.

It is inevitable for He Anli to cry bitterly. Who can accept being abandoned by God?

Wuma sympathized with her, but that had nothing to do with what he was going to do next.

He climbed up to the belly of the idol, and with a long saw-shaped cutting tool, he cut a slit in the crystal clear amethyst; then he caught a test tube with a rope and threw it from the slit, and the long and thin container was buried in the sand. Scoop up a tube of white crystal sand.

Wuma pulls up the booty by the rope, how wonderful, such a small tube is enough to destroy human beings.

He poured the white sand into a closed container, carefully put it back into the backpack, and climbed down to the ground along the arm of the statue.

When he landed, he never noticed a figure slowly getting up behind him.

Wuma heard the footsteps, and the moment he turned his head, He Anli took off the cross from his neck and pierced his jaw!

The cyborgs have a dormancy button hidden under their tongues, which usually requires special tools to access to avoid damaging their skin.

He Anli didn't mind making a hole in this expensive body, she just watched Wuma fall, a sealed glass jar fell out of his backpack and smashed to pieces.

She felt the sand floating into her eyes, and quickly closed them. She took two steps back, and when she opened her eyes again, the irises seemed to be covered with a layer of white mist.

Tears overflowed his eyes, and a suffocating sadness spread across his chest.He Anli didn't hesitate any longer, she took out a new test tube, knelt down and filled 2 grams of white powder with the fragments, poured it into a long and thin container, sealed it with a resin stopper and put it in a bag.

She wiped the tears from her face and rushed out of the cave.

***

Yu Zhen sat in front of the window, looking at the three moons in the night sky, the forest green sea of ​​trees was quiet and silent.

What a lonely dream.

He didn't know if Wuma and He Anli would come back, if they didn't come back, how long would he stay here?

When he was melancholy, the door of the meeting room was unlocked and opened.

The child on the sofa jumped up and stared warily at the intruder.

"Don't get close to her!" The childish voice screamed.

Yu Zhen was frightened by He Anli's face and forgot to move.

Her eyeballs were congested, her facial skin turned blue, and the subcutaneous blood vessels were clearly visible. She was completely invisible, on the verge of alienation.

He could predict what she would be like in the future.

Her hands, which had been worn down by the ropes during the climb, were bleeding, and she handed him a test tube containing 2 grams of white powder; two lines of blood-red tears rolled down the corners of her eyes.

"Antibody..." She squeezed out two words in her hoarse throat, "Go back and let them develop antibodies..."

Yu Zhen took the test tube, her throat seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't speak, "You..."

"I can only leave it to you... Hurry up, get out!" She covered her neck and began to cough violently. There was a foreign object swimming under her scalp.

The child jumped off the sofa and dragged Yu Zhen out, and he was dragged out of the hatch of the conference room. The little man beside him jumped up and tapped the button to lock the hatch.

Yu Zhen squeezed the test tube, and heard the shrieking screams from inside.
