Fortunately, I'm a Giant of Light

The unimaginable number of crazy electromagnetic waves depicted a magic city that existed underground, rivaling Edo and New York.

"Is that your city?"

The city was built directly to the stratum below 4000 meters.

Who knows, the underground man shook his head.

"That's the metropolis 'metropolis' of the people of the earth...not our city, our city is here."

It was a group of simple caves at the lower level, which was close to the underground building layer of the metropolis.There are several underground people living in each cave.On the walls of the cave, there are also some weird images and words carved, telling how this civilization was once brilliant.

It's just that the years... are the most contemptuous of past glory.

Chapter 8 Two Kinds of Primitives

I don't know when, probably in the information age, the earth suddenly became smaller, and the universe made the earth look like dust.

Every day, people can chat with people from all over the world, look up at the starry sky, and don't care about the size of the earth, after all, they are all the same.

But the earth, this ordinary planet, is indeed... an incomprehensible behemoth. The land area is 29% of the global area, and the total area of ​​human activities today only accounts for about half of the land area.

An interesting phenomenon is that tribes belonging to primitive people still exist in the islands of the South Pacific, deep in Africa, or in the forests of South America that are not paid attention to in modern times.

Based on the international tacit understanding of peace and anti-war after the earth entered modern times, the Peacock Country or the Football Country is full of goodwill towards these primitive tribes called Sentinel, Zoe or other names.

Like the United States, they often choose a few lucky ones to live a modern life in a modern country, so that they can record their entertainment programs for the public.

Public welfare and environmental protection organizations call on people to protect the harmonious way of life of these primitive people and nature, calling them the last free people on earth.

Others think that the arguments of NGOs and environmental organizations are the same as they used to call on developing countries to abandon industry and go all out to protect the environment, and they say that even if these primitive people really came to modern society... they are nothing more than Transforming into a poor person is also a good change.

"There are primitive people on the ground, but I didn't know there were primitive people underground."

On the way home, Zion's fear of seeing the child of the subterranean disappeared.

In the series of secret scriptures about giants of light, the earth always looks full, even the bottom of the sea and the ground... are also filled with monsters and underground or human-like, or alien-like civilized creatures, and from time to time they pull out something to attack the ground , and was repelled by the righteous giant, maintaining peace.

But now, Zion knows it's not fake.

In this world, not far from the human world, just under the TPC Western Europe branch, there is a tribe of underground people, and their space is very small.

The existing number does not exceed one thousand, and may not be as many as the Moon people at their peak.

This is a very dangerous value, indicating that the anti-risk ability of this branch of Homo sapiens has been low to the brink of genocide.

Zion came to the cave where he was with the subterranean child.

His cave, and many others, have the shell edge of the underground "wall" of the metropolis.

Underground buildings are different from aboveground buildings.

Because there is water in the soil, and reaching the depth of thousands of meters in the metropolis, magma may also gushes out along the cracks in the lithosphere.As for sand or anything else, if it penetrates deep into the building, it will cause disaster.

Because the earth's crust is moving, buildings deep underground will also bear enormous earth pressure and the internal force of the earth, deforming or even collapsing.If the building is too heavy, it may break with the upper layer and sink with the movement of the earth's crust.

In any case, an underground city on the scale of TPC is a miracle that human beings at the beginning of the 21st century could not expect.

Aiya said that before construction, TPC must first survey the most suitable lithosphere, and the stability of the base can be maintained by the stability of the lithosphere itself.

Next, people have to follow the underground lithosphere that has been explored and use a large number of construction machinery and robots (not advanced) from the ground to build underground continuous walls layer by layer for waterproofing and load bearing.This kind of continuous wall can directly withstand N2 mine blast in terms of strength.

This kid, and... Zion looked around... It would be difficult for those simple people to explain everything he wanted to know, but he could ask.

"Have you been... living here all this time?"

Zion asked.

The underground man shook his head:

"We were originally living in the body of a monster."

"The body of the monster...?"

"Well...but that monster died before I was born, when my parents died, and it has already had a head and a half since now."

Zion asked in disbelief:

"Human head?"

When the child was asked this question, he immediately stood there, feeling scared.

He pointed at the string of human heads and nodded anxiously.

Indeed...in this tribe of subterraneans, there are a lot of subterranean heads strung together...which are fairly similar to human beings...probably descended from the same species of Homo sapiens.

He couldn't explain this.Because they always have been.

Inside the Retribution, Aya said softly:

"I think this kind of primitive man does not have an accurate measurement of years."

Only in this way did Zion understand the ominous meaning in it.

Because the human calendar about time, how long is a day, how long is a month, and how long is a year, is divided into four seasons and 24 solar terms, all derived from the stable rotation and revolution of the sun, moon and earth.

The people on the earth call the rising of the sun and the setting of the sun and rising again a day.

The underground people don't have the sun and the moon... only the strange and unpredictable operation laws of the earth's crust.

So the calendar they use to measure time is...their own birth and death.

A head, a person's life, is their time.

"That means they may have replaced ... 'years' with 'heads'."

Aya said.

A horrible calendar.

The kid was still gesturing, trying to describe the monster in his poor English.But he couldn't draw it clearly... because he was drawing the inside of the monster.So he asked several people who could speak English together to describe it to Zion.When Zion waved his hand, they all dispersed again.

"The monster you lived in died, so you came out."

Most of the creatures that humans call monsters stand up on the ground, and their load-bearing structures are naturally extraordinary.Subterranean monsters can exist stably underground...their natural structure can stably protect the survival of the people inside...and because of their huge size, they are natural underground structures for small people.

"There are a bunch of bacteria living in the human body...It is not difficult to understand that there are people living in the monster..."

perhaps.

Zion suddenly thought of the destruction as big as the Heguo Islands.However, I am afraid that there is no impurity on the damaged body.

The child nodded and said:

"Dead, it starts to rot, and Mom and Dad took me out, and we ended up here."

Discovering the metropolis seemed to be something that excited this subterranean tribe.

This child is standing next to the outer wall of the metropolis, dancing and looking carefully... There is also a gap that can allow children to enter.

It's not a big deal. The TPC underground base has three layers of walls and relies on the lithosphere.Therefore, a crack in the outer wall is a tolerable range of building disrepair, and it is difficult to detect and repair.

Because of this, the underground people lived here for several years.

"This gap is the entrance from the world to heaven! It will discharge a lot of useful things! Many, many useful things."

Aya guessed it was Metropolis' sewage system.

This is also a kind of ecology attached to human beings.

But the child of the subterranean said seriously:

"In this way, we can easily survive."

Then it groped in that crack, found out some weird rotten fruit and vegetable puree, held it in the palm of its hand, and asked cautiously:

"do you want to eat?"

Zion thought for a while and said:

"No."

The underground child is happy because he can eat himself.But before, he could tolerate his hunger because he was embarrassed by the presence of guests.

"okay!"

Then bury your head in it and feast on it.

During this process, Zion asked it:

"Where did you learn English?"

The child in the ground hesitated for a long time, it shook its head from time to time, looked at the seam of the outer wall, and shook back from time to time:

"I can't say it, she told me not to."

This child is too stupid, too much information has been revealed in this sentence and action.

"Because there was someone on the other side of the seam who taught you all this, didn't she?"

"How do you know... Could it be that you are her?"

The kid is in chaos.

"I'm not. I came to that conclusion by reasoning."

The kid didn't seem to understand the meaning of reasoning very well.He wanted to ask, but he didn't dare, so he said in a dull voice:

"This is... the language of the gods, and only a few people in the tribe know it."

It is conceivable that in some distant past, because of the aggressiveness of these children, some staff behind the seam felt pity... and then tried to teach them the language.

And the underground clan respects this man as a god, so naturally they dare not stop the behavior of the "god".

Zion saw his performance in his eyes.

Monster is a new word... to describe the many gigantic creatures that have come ashore since Godzilla.

Therefore, the underground people have also had contact with humans recently.

It seems that there are more than one tribe of underground people. The eyesight of the underground people has degenerated, and their other senses are very developed, but they can't see the exact appearance of Zion, so they only think that they are underground people from other places. It's not surprising.

"But I know, you must be a very special person!"
