Fortunately, I'm a Giant of Light

"But this is an artificial creation. But it's very deep here. Can someone really bury things here? This is more than 3000 meters underground, and there are no weird waves. It looks like an ordinary box."

In the manual issued by TPC, it is written that people should contact TPC first when encountering strange things.But the giant certainly does not abide by this rule.

He opened the box freely so he could see what was inside.

Inside is a... a keychain made of cpu, and a letter.

After opening the letter paper, Zion saw that it read:

"To my future self:

How are you doing with your forever loved ones and your friends?Have you ever colonized Mars?Have you learned interstellar flight?I have imagined looking at the gorgeous halo from the clouds of Saturn, and I have imagined looking back at our small and big sun in the Oort cloud... But in my time, I still can't do it, so I am full of longing for the future.

I want to ask, have you solved the war?Have you overcome AIDS, cancer and other dreadful diseases?In the era when this letter was sent, everyone who thinks about the future is more or less tired.I have no imagination, so I can't imagine that humans and you can overcome all this... But I think you, and all your friends, and humans must read this copy of the past with a sense of natural superiority The backwardness of my correspondence.

look!People in the past are so hypocritical, they always worry about the future.

I am very afraid of being laughed at... Even if I am laughed at by people in the future, I will be very sad.But since you dig out the time capsule again and choose to see all this calmly, you must have given up all your shyness and faced your immature self in the past.

Thank you.

come on. "

Only then did Zion realize that he encountered a time capsule in this underground corner by chance, a time capsule full of longing for the future.

Moment infinite sigh.

"Time capsule, I only watched it on TV, I didn't expect to meet it here. It's just that human beings at that time...will think of the true face of this era, do they belong to monsters? Those in the past are ravaging the dominion of the earth. Those, as well as... evil things from outside the sky."

Even the giant of light is like a flat boat in a storm, which may capsize at any time.

This is a crazy time, when people are forced to wake up from their own beautiful dream of civilization.They realize that they are still in the ancient wilderness, by the small campfire, facing the endless night, wind and rain.

A giant is that flickering bonfire in a cave or in a thunderstorm.

Zion thought.

Zion folded the letter the way it had been, with the CPU's key fob, closed the box, and carefully replaced it in its original place.

Then, without looking back, he turned around and walked straight into the darkness deeper underground.

During this period of time, after getting the information on the Retribution, Aya gave many interesting opinions about Nelonga.

"I think the energy conversion mechanism of this monster may be related to electrophilic microorganisms."

For some reason, with the support of Mengmei's knowledge base search, Aya unexpectedly showed a strong talent for analysis and research in biology.

she said to Zion.

"Is there any creature on earth that eats electricity?"

Zion asked.

"some."

Aya was on the other side of the phone, while continuing to assist the Retribution in searching the Pacific Ocean, she said eloquently:

"Humans first discovered this kind of microorganisms in the mud at the bottom of the lake. Different from photosynthesis and respiration, they developed in another direction in order to adapt to places without oxygen. They have a special Enzymes, which can capture electrons from sulfide, and capture a proton from the water environment, combine into hydrogen atoms, and then transfer back to the cell. And their proteins can directly expel electrons, so that what is eaten is electricity and what is released is also electricity . Between cell transfers, electricity flows. Biologists have often grown this bacteria in their own sockets in recent years."

This involves Zion's knowledge blind spot.

Nelonga moves very fast in the soil.And the underground roads criss-cross, and they are nowhere to be found.The lower you go, the higher the temperature.

As Zion walked, he heard Aya say:

"We once thought that this kind of microorganism indicated the future direction of electric energy development, but we didn't know that it was realized so quickly...on biological bodies."

He knocked on the rock wall, and there was a dull sound, and then an arc flew.

"Nelunga and these bacteria ... may share a common ancestor."

The relationship between the creatures on earth is hundreds of millions of years apart...but compared to the universe, they are extremely close.

In the Retribution, Aya put down her pen:

"Yes, the ability inherited from the ancestors has not degenerated. I guess this is because Nelonga returned to the ancestors after the industrial revolution in which human beings issued electricity, and regained this power."

"That's why it's special."

Zion found the signs.Where Nelonga walked, static electricity remained in the soil.

"Specially...? Why do you say that?"

Aya was puzzled, and heard Zion's voice saying:

"Because I have seen that the human-dominated natural ecology is also giving birth to a new era. Nelonga... is the product of such an ecology. The defeat of human beings is beneficial to some wild monsters in nature ...But it is extremely disadvantageous for monsters like Nelonga."

It's like the cockroaches in the city and the rats in the sewers are also products of this ecology.

"But civilization-dominated ecologies are very special."

He considered the words:

"It is much faster than the natural speed, and it is too violent. On the contrary, the evolution of natural organisms cannot catch up, and it is difficult to distinguish."

"really……"

"This is also one of the purposes of my pursuit of Nelonga."

But when Aya wanted to ask about the purpose of chasing Nelonga, Zion didn't answer.

This is because Zion generally does not want to speak out about things that are not fully sure, which gives people an illusory imagination.

"Neilonga's lair should be near now, I need to concentrate." Zion has fought under the sea, in space, in the sky, but the ground is still a field he has never set foot in.

Nelonga may not have a fixed long-term nest, and it keeps moving with the power station, but it must have a temporary habitat.

Zion saw that the structure here was very solid, and the vibrations of ordinary monsters would not completely crush it.Occasional flickers of electric arcs illuminate countless unrecognizable wreckage underground.

Stability is a point of residence.You know, on earth, nothing is happy to be woken up while sleeping!

When he got closer, he could still hear the sound of gurgling water, and Zion couldn't help laughing:

"This guy knows how to enjoy."

He saw that there was an underground water lake on the top, and he estimated that there could be a few spouts that could send water directly into its mouth, saving it a lot of trouble.

But at this time, Zion was nowhere to be found. Although the breath was very close, there was no way anywhere.It wasn't until I accidentally looked down that I found a small piece of tail buried in the soil, motionless.

It turned out that the monster buried itself in the soil or in the space separated by the soil.

The underground monsters are naturally not afraid of being buried in the mud.

"Help me record my feelings, Mengmei."

Relying on his strength, Zion pinched his tail with one hand.

Nelonga's tail is cold, which is more interesting than penguins and lion cubs... It's just that Zion quickly feels something is wrong.

"what happened?"

The dead silence that suddenly fell into the ground was terrifying.

"No movement?"

The tail was in his hand, and there was no response.

"what?"

"Why is Nelonga still motionless even though his tail is pinched... It's like a piece of dead meat."

When he stood up, it illuminated the entire dark subterranean area.

At the same time, Otto's thought power exploded instantly, and the rocks and ground collapsed with a loud noise, and he flung them around, so as to reveal the true face of the monster inside.

Seen from the rear, the transparent monster Nelonga is lying here normally, motionless, as if asleep.

But little people can't see everything at a glance, so they have to go to the other side.

Due to the violent use of thought power, the soil layer is about to collapse due to pressure.But it is also the power of thought that maintains everything, not even the dust can fall.

Then, Zion flew from the invisible end to the other end, and only then could he see the countless traces on Nelonga's body——

"Of course the monster will die."

The transparent monster can no longer be transparent, with countless whip marks on its upper body, and unrecognizable bite wounds.

Its head was eaten clean, leaving only the filthy bones. As for the cervical spine, it was broken in half at the wound, and the bright blood that had just solidified proved that it did not die long ago.

The flesh and blood were blurred.However, Nei Longga's sleeping posture proved that Nei Longga was killed suddenly without much resistance.

"I didn't want to kill Nelonga's... but I didn't expect that the injured one would die in the hands of other monsters."

He saw a huge horn buried in the soil, the horn of Nelonga.

"This monster... ate Nelonga's head, then went away and disappeared into the ground."

Zion whispered to the people in the Retribution.

Only at this moment, he sensed the movement of life popping out of a corner.

It was a humanoid child, shouting at Zion in human form:

"It's the giant underground monster, Gudun."

Only the eyes seem to be covered with a film, which is the proof that his eyes have degenerated.This is not human...if it is, it also diverged from the human clade hundreds of thousands of years ago.

But he can speak human language, unexpectedly, English.

It is one of the most popular languages ​​in Europe.

He pressed his knees, panting, and it could be seen that he was terrified.

"Golden killed it."

Gudun is a syllable it utters, which is probably the proper name for a certain monster of this human race...let's call it human race.

"who are you?"

——The underground people?

In the telepathy, a pleasant voice rang in the mind of this young underground man, causing him to panic, and he said after a while:

"Can you come with me?"

Zion hesitated for a moment, then followed him away.

The further they walked, the closer they got to an underground building.
