Simulation: Starting From Strange Creatures

Chapter 263 Going to the sea for the second time

When it comes to communication, several astronauts feel embarrassed.

There is no air in space, and sound cannot propagate. It is impossible for them to hold a loudspeaker and shout something outside.

 As for bringing the two people outside into the space station, several astronauts did not dare to make such a decision.

  After all, this is the last hope of the tribe, although the people outside look like humans.

But who can guarantee that those people outside are not aliens, or the culprits who caused the home planet?

 …

Zhao Meng outside the cabin saw several creatures inside hesitating, and he frowned slightly.

 Although this space station looks like paper to him, he can destroy it with just a little force.

 But the people inside are very fragile and cannot survive independently in the universe.

 The survivors on the entire planet are here, and Zhao Meng does not want to damage this precious research object.

“They are afraid of you!” Lu Xiaoxi’s voice reached Zhao Meng’s ears through the communication jade talisman.

 “Let me communicate with them!”

Hearing Lu Xiaoxi's words, Zhao Meng gave up his seat in front of the porthole.

 “That woman is here!”

“Look, she seems to be wearing something, is it something like a space suit?”

 Lu Xiaoxi’s movement immediately attracted the attention of several people in the space station.

I don’t know what Lu Xiaoxi was gesturing with the people in the space. These people lowered their guard a little.

At this moment, Lu Xiaoxi turned around and carefully communicated something with Zhao Meng.

 A moment later, a miniature robotic arm stretched out from the bottom of the space station, and Zhao Meng placed a communication jade talisman on it.

 …

As the communication jade talisman was sent into the cabin, the voice inside finally came out, but this voice was an exchange with Lu Xiaoxi, not a conversation with him.

As the maker of the communication jade talisman, he could naturally hear the conversation between Lu Xiaoxi and the people inside.

 “Are you a staff member of the administrative center?”

“What exactly happened on the home planet, and why did it become like this?”

Facing the questions from several astronauts, Lu Xiaoxi fell silent. Having had a memory of Yin Ji, she naturally knew what was going on.

 But how should we explain this kind of thing to the several astronauts on the space station? They are highly educated and have received the idea that humans evolved from childhood.

But if you tell them, "We are just blood cells that fell from other places in ancient times, and gradually differentiated into today's world."

 Such words may be counterproductive.

"That's it! Just compile a little bit of what happened on the home planet and mix in some lies!"

Lu Xiaoxi pondered for a moment, took a long breath, and said to the astronaut inside:

 “This has something to do with our origins?”

“We have slowly evolved from microorganisms to our current state, but our initial state is not the same as our previous common ancestry theory.

Our origin is a drop of blood from outer space. Through the genetic database, the Western people traced back to the original gene of every living being.

 And tried to modify this gene, which caused great chaos..."

 …

Zhao Meng looked at Lu Xiaoxi from the side, compiling what happened on the planet below, and secretly admired her in his heart:

 “She can actually make it up! She has such a quick wit”

 Looking at her being so smart, Zhao Meng couldn't help but think of some things from his previous life.

His previous life was just an ordinary world, without extraordinary power or practitioners who could fly to the sky or escape from the earth.

 Some only have technology, but by exploring the nature of the world, human beings can do a lot of things in the world.

 As human beings progress, they are also exploring their own origins.

Especially after breakthroughs in molecular biology, humans discovered that almost all life on earth can trace the same ancestral gene.

Zhao Meng remembered that in an article he had read, it was introduced that human genes do not exist independently of the world.

For example, orangutans have 99.8% similar gene segments to humans, bats have 74%, bananas have 50%, and flies have 21%.

Even the microorganisms collected from the deepest trenches have 5% to 10% similar gene segments.

 Every living thing on earth has some kind of connection to one another.

These connections all show that the prosperous biosphere today may have had a common genetic source billions of years ago.

There are different opinions about the origin of this, but Zhao Meng now thinks that all the abnormalities in him are

 Would there be an existence like him in the universe where he lived in his previous life?

 A weak "cloud" molecule drifted for a long time and landed on the planet that had just cooled down, activating a new biosphere.

“Perhaps I’m overthinking it. In my previous life, I’ve never heard of any macromolecules of life that can drift through the long and complex cosmic environment.”

“Before I traveled through time, humans discovered a strange organic molecule called Thorin on Pluto.”

Recalling what happened in his previous life, Zhao Meng shook his head gently and continued to look at Lu Xiaoxi, who was communicating with the astronaut.

Although Lu Xiaoxi’s improvised explanation of the mutation of the home planet is full of loopholes, in this world, there is also a certain market for the theory of common origin of organisms.

This explanation is at least easier to accept than the fact that this world was originally composed of blood molecules of a powerful individual, but now it has turned back into blood under certain factors.

"is that so?"

 After listening to Lu Xiaoxi’s explanation, several astronauts in the cabin were not completely convinced. It was obvious from their expressions that there was some doubt in their eyes.

 After all, no matter how Lu Xiaoxi explained it, Zhao Meng floating beside her was beyond their comprehension.

As for Zhao Meng's question, it is easier for Lu Xiaoxi to explain. After all, the space station also contributed to the discovery of aliens approaching the earth.

"alien!"

"he!"

“Could it be that the changes on the home planet are related to him?”

 …

Zhao Meng on the side saw that these people wanted to continue talking, so he couldn't help but said:

"The oxygen in her body will be exhausted soon, I just sent her here!"

Hearing Zhao Meng's voice, the communication jade talisman suddenly fell silent for a moment. They were not surprised that Zhao Meng suddenly interrupted their call.

Lu Xiaoxi wanted to say something else, but Zhao Meng raised his hand.

At this time, a satellite flew by not far away, and a ray of light flashed in Zhao Meng's hand, and the satellite suddenly broke into two pieces.

 “Open the hatch and let her in!” Zhao Meng’s behavior finally made these people no longer hesitate.

 Zhao Meng told them clearly that he was a little impatient.

The sudden change was not because Zhao Meng was impatient, but just now, news came from Xixi Lake, and she discovered a faint aura of Yin Ji.

Facing this kind of news, he naturally took it seriously and could only use deterrence to place Lu Xiaoxi on the space station first.

 After all, Yinji's dissociated consciousness is his priority, and that dissociated consciousness may be an important tool to unlock many secrets.

 …

Under Zhao Meng's intimidation, the hatch of the space station finally opened, and Lu Xiaoxi entered.

Seeing that Lu Xiaoxi was safe, Zhao Meng did not stop here and rushed towards the planet below.   …

 “This alien seems to have a bad temper!”

 With the departure of Zhao Meng,

 The remaining astronauts looked at Lu Xiaoxi who was connected to them.

“Commander, what should she do?”

 “Isolate for the time being.”

 …

At this time, Zhao Meng had returned to the planet below, and the red clouds in the sky were still dense.

As the clouds and fog accumulated, blood-colored raindrops even fell in some places.

 This place has completely changed into a different ecological appearance, and it can even be said that this is how it should be.

There is a faint flicker of light in this dense blood cloud, which turns out to be thunder that shuttles through the blood cloud.

At this time, Zhao Meng was standing on an extremely thick blood cloud that was shining with lightning.

 “It’s down there!”

Hearing the reminder from Xixi Lake, Zhao Meng fell towards the blood cloud.

As his height dropped, the air flow around him became chaotic, and there was actually a storm area under the blood cloud.

 Under the strong wind, waves of blood surged, but such a strong wind had no effect on Zhao Meng. He was observing something in the strong wind.

 “The color of this sea of ​​blood seems to be deeper!”

“Xixi Lake, where is it?”

 “Bottom right!”

 Because Yin Ji’s consciousness is in a dissociated state, Zhao Meng needs to communicate with Xixi Lake at all times and determine the location.

 Under the guidance of Xixi Lake, he headed towards the closer sea.

However, just as Zhao Meng descended, the direction pointed by Xixi Lake changed again.

"Um!?"

Zhao Meng followed the direction pointed by Xixi Lake and came to a new place, but there was still nothing there.

"what happened?"

Zhao Meng felt like he was playing whack-a-mole. Things kept popping up from the sea, but they quickly disappeared on the surface of the sea.

“Zhao Meng, this consciousness is very strange, it seems that it is not the same one!” At this moment, an abnormality was also discovered in Xixi Lake.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Meng frowned:

 “Looks like I’m going to take a look at the sea!”

There seems to be some kind of natural barrier between the Blood Sea and Xixi Lake. Once Zhao Meng enters the sea, the help of Xixi Lake to him will be close to zero.

But now the breath on the sea is constantly floating, and Zhao Meng can't see anything, so he can only go to the sea to explore.

Zhao Meng jumped into the sea of ​​blood. The light transmittance of the blood sea was very low, and the surrounding area was quickly enveloped in darkness. Fortunately, Zhao Meng had the entry for "Xunwei".

Although he didn't know what Yin Ji's breath smelled like, he sniffed out the special smell in the area where Yin Ji's breath was active.

“Hey! There seems to be a strange fragrance?”

Zhao Meng vaguely seemed to smell something. Not to mention how good the smell was, it could only be said to be a strange fragrance.

 But it was this smell that he had never smelled before that caught his attention.

 “Still down there!”

 Zhao Meng followed the rich gradient of the taste and headed downwards.

 The surrounding blood sea was still very dark, but as he went deeper, the smell of blood around him seemed to become lighter.

“Speaking of which, the entire planet can turn into a **** planet in a short period of time, especially the blood sea can change in such a short period of time. Maybe the modern world on the surface is just a facade!”

 “So, what is the significance of such a world appearing here?”

Zhao Meng initially thought that this might be some kind of trick arranged by the immortal, trying to do something to him.

 But through the memories described by Lu Xiaoxi, if this was a world formed by Yin Ji's scattered blood, he might happen to encounter it.

Just when Zhao Meng was thinking wildly, there seemed to be a wave in the water in front of him. Although he did not get the entry of water flow touch from the catfish,

  However, he has many experiences of becoming an aquatic creature, coupled with his huge cultivation level, he is very sensitive to changes in the water.

 “There seems to be some kind of giant thing swimming!”

Thinking of this situation, Zhao Meng immediately became alert. In the previous monitoring of Xixi Lake, no extraordinary traces were found on this planet.

This is one of the reasons why Zhao Meng dared to go to the sea, but not finding it does not mean that it is not there. Xixi Lake cannot be explored deep into the ocean, and what exists in the blood sea is unknown.

"Appeared!"

Zhao Meng could vaguely see a blur of light in front of him, which was swimming slowly on the bottom of the sea.

 “Whale!”

 “No, it’s some kind of whale-like creature!”

Zhao Meng approached the blurry light source.

 He found that it was a creature similar to a whale, and a ball of luminous material was swimming forward on the belly of this creature.

This luminous material is slowly moving, like the vital organs of a whale.

 The smell he smelled was emitted by this light source.

Zhao Meng followed the light source and found that the light source seemed to be heading deeper into the ocean.

“There are actually creatures in the sea of ​​blood. What do they do for a living?”

Zhao Meng muttered and continued to dive into the sea following the whale.

At this moment, another blurry light source appeared in front,

The whale seemed to have seen food and pounced on it, biting another group of glowing light sources.

 “Hmm? Looks like some kind of large squid!”

 “Is this whale hunting?”

 The whale was tearing at the squid, and soon the whale gained the upper hand. The squid was hunted, and the light source on the squid spread out.

Most of these scattered blurry light sources were swallowed up by this whale-like creature, and some of the light sources were scattered deeper into the seabed.

“Is it just hunting?” Zhao Meng frowned when he saw this scene, feeling a little confused.

 “Where is Yin Ji’s consciousness?”

Zhao Meng looked at the whale floating toward the sea.

 He dived down for a certain distance and grabbed the scattered light sources.

It was a tentacle with several broken parts, and the light source was extremely conspicuous in a certain part of the tentacle.

“This position seems to be an organ of the squid?”

Zhao Meng, who had imitated a certain animal, was very familiar with the things on his wrists, but he was not sure whether the arms and legs of this blood sea creature were what he thought they were.

“Xixi Lake, can you feel Yin Ji’s breath on it?”

Although Yin Ji was unable to explore the sea due to the blood blockage, when Zhao Meng sent the found clues to Jiayao.

 In this kind of close contact, Yin Ji can finally analyze the things in the sea.
