The mother planet secretly transformed without telling us

The so-called people are people without any attachments or added value, in the literal sense. Miss Da Leizi on the empty island, Old Wang Li Cang who was sweating and swinging a pickaxe, and a group of people wrapped in animal skins with white hair and beards on the ice house, the three parties looked at each other, looking at each other, with clear stupidity in their eyes.

A dome-shaped ice house with snow-covered ice bricks arranged in a hexagonal shape like a snowflake. Three rows of shelves were stretched out in front of the door of the ice house, one row was hung with salted fish and meat, one row was hung with animal skin products, and one row was hung with pots. Not far from the ice house village, some straw fish rafts and double-hulled canoes that had long been frozen in the ice were moored, with smoke curling up and peaceful. Those people were standing one or two kilometers in front of the village, jumping and shouting with their hands raised. You can understand what they mean without listening: this road is blocked.

Li Cang waved his hand and asked Gou Kun to take Li Lace and Xiao Xiaojie with him, and they landed in front of the crowd. When the group saw such a terrifying and majestic beast, they were all terrified. Some crawled on the ground, some put one hand on their chest and bowed down, and said a lot of words that Li Cang and the translator could not understand. It was more like mumbling or praying to themselves than "speaking".

What was surprising was that these people even had different skin colors. There were yellow people, Hispanics, and even African-Americans, and they could be distinguished more finely. The ones that could be directly recognized by the naked eye were the Inuit and Mongolian people, and then there were a few people who looked not so sturdy and slightly taller, and seemed to have Indian faces.

"Get up, everyone, we don't like this!" Lao Wang's persuasion and kindness were in vain, so he muttered to Li Cang, "Is it like the primitive people who often worship aliens as gods in movies? Is it? Damn, what are they talking about?"

Under the great identification technique, the data identified can almost be called a blank slate. The panel with an average of no more than 20c is no different from ordinary people for Li Cang Lao Wang, who has hundreds or thousands of permanent numerical monsters. Emmm, on the contrary, it is not an exaggeration to call them gods descending to the earth.

At this time, the expressions of several people in the God Group were several times more confused than the other party. Forget about whether they understood the other party's language. It took a long time for them to realize that they were speaking several languages. After trying for more than ten minutes, the translator that had been down for a long time finally found some clues and barely translated two languages ​​spoken by several people - their languages ​​included Cyrillic letters, Spanish, Latin, French and suspected Indian languages, and almost all of them were excerpts. No sentence could be fully translated by the translator, and most of them were not even included.

Finally, Li Lace charged a language pack on the forum on the spot, and the two sides were able to barely establish communication.

For ordinary people without hostility, Li Cang's attitude has always been euphemistic, and it can even be called "pampering": "What are you doing here? Didn't the previous beast tide and corpse tide attack you?"

The other party's language was quite messy, but there was only one core demand, hoping that Li Cang's Sky Island would spare their home, and the words were full of humility and fear.

Li Cang looked around for a while: "Where is your Sky Island?"

The other party pointed to the black swamp mud that was vaguely visible under the frozen ice cap, and shook his head: "Our island is not our island. It is occupied by creatures from hell. We can only wander."

"The Sky Island with clear ownership was chased down by the bugs on the island?" Lao Wang grinned, "These people are really... Tsk."

The established track of the Sky Island is definitely not easy to correct now, even if it is switched to manual driving, it will take a lot of detours.

Li Cang waved his hand: "Move!"

The lackeys rushed forward in a mighty manner, swinging various alienated alloy farm tools to output physical value to the ice layer under the opponent's camp. The opponent was very panicked at first, and they didn't dare to say anything or persuade them. They soon found that these wetware had no ill intentions and were just helping them to demolish the entire foundation ice layer with their tools. It was so difficult for them to survive in this kind of ice field and alienated environment. The ice house and meat product reserves were directly their lives. They probably didn't expect this group of terrifying existences to be kind. After being surprised, they naturally thanked them profusely.

While the two sides were happily communicating, Li Leisi had already followed the smell and got into the other side's doghouse and started rolling around. There were hundreds of mixed-blood three fools as big as polar bears. Each of them had a dark and moist nose tip and bright eyes and short tear glands. It was obvious that they had not suffered much and were well fed.

"Li Cang, Li Cang, let's play here for two days, this place is simply heaven!!"

"_"

The three sled idiots naturally don't have such a thing as vigilance. The dogs all let go and were very familiar with each other. Li Leisi became a leader in a minute and was already thinking about harnessing a sled and pulling a sled.

All the other party members listened carefully to the voice coming from the translator. One of them, an aunt with very small eyes and dark pupils, immediately pointed at her tribesmen and gave a series of instructions, and then apologized that they didn't have extra wood to make a sled. The only wood was made into boats before it froze. These dogs had never learned to pull a sled or a sled. Instead, they were all good swimmers and good at diving to help them catch fish.

This aunt, who was about fifty years old, seemed to be very authoritative. She circulated the envoys of the tribe, and then cautiously and enthusiastically invited Li Cang and others to their camp: "Dignified guests coming from afar, we are like a giant whale blocking the way." The fish and shrimps in front of us, with extremely humble hearts, we sincerely thank you for allowing us to keep our home and allow our people to survive. As a reward for you, we sincerely and honoredly hope to be able to stay in the warm and comfortable big igloo. To entertain you, we will eat the best whale sharks and taste the most delicious wine. If you arrive before the glacier, we can have many gifts for you, but now, I hope you will not dislike it, entertaining such a powerful and friendly person like you. It is an honor for all clan members to be a distinguished guest.”

With just such a sentence, the translator almost started to smoke in the cold wind of 50 to 60 degrees below zero.

Surrounded by people singing and dancing, the great hospitality is hard to resist.

The sky island is still some distance away, and the progress of opening up the Ice Valley channel is not bad. After a few people exchanged glances, they simply agreed.

The large igloo is obviously not used for daily living. It is a special room opened in the ice below the camp that only connects part of the surface igloo. It is a spherical structure, with tunnels, floors and walls reserved on the top for ventilation and smoke diffusion. It was covered with thick furs and there was a large fire pit piled with stones in the middle.

Li Cang was cheerful throughout the whole process, but Lao Wang sniffed as soon as he entered and gave his professional opinion: "Teacher Cang, the smell is wrong!"

"?"

"The smell of hormones!" Lao Wang said with certainty and affirmation, "This place will definitely have a big party!"

"roll!"

After the fire pit was lit, the indoor temperature could even reach above zero. In addition to the extremely dry air, it was already relatively comfortable. Several elderly grandmothers served fruit plates to Li Cang and the others, and then went to the room. A hanging pot was hung on the fire pit, filled with frozen milk.

Lao Wang picked up the small, crystal-clear green fruit on the plate and threw it into his mouth: "Here I go, I thought it was a berry. It smells like kelp. Is this thing called sea grapes or something?"

Two plates of seaweed, two plates of dried meat, one plate of blue pastries, and one plate of indescribable cakes. Lao Wang didn’t dare to touch them. He picked up another piece of the blue stuff that looked good and threw it into his mouth. His face instantly became extremely miserable.

"Is it delicious?"

"Blueberries, raw fish, butter and sour cream, guess how delicious it is?"

emmmm

Just by hearing it, he knew that this was a taste that he could hardly imagine being able to enjoy.

With a spring-like smile on his face, Li Cang took the milk tea handed over by the old lady and nodded in greeting. He personally watched the old lady pry the tea leaves from the tea bricks with a crowbar. Seeing is believing, and there is nothing fishy about it.

"Pfft~"

Seeing is believing, but seeing is not necessarily eating.

Li Cang felt that instead of taking a sip of milk tea, he took a mouthful of fish oil and a weirder fishy liquid. This thing was like a set of military punches in his mouth against the uvula, and he was beaten directly by Li Cang. I had stars in my eyes and foaming at the mouth.

Upon seeing this, Dalei Zi silently put down the tea cup, and calmly picked up the puppy he had just brought into the house. His face was cold and noble, trying to be decent but not impolite.

"What does it smell like?"

"I don't know."

The patriarch's aunt rushed over in a panic, and under the curious eyes of a group of people, she pointed out the composition of two raw materials that they had never dreamed of: "It's dog milk and whale milk."

Li Cang: "."

Li Cang didn't dare to drink it, and he didn't even dare to take a look at it, but he was very sure that this thing should be a relatively precious thing to the other party, at least it was the kind that would never be taken out and enjoyed easily.

"Well, I'm sorry, I'm a picky eater personally, but my friend, he likes this kind of thing the most. Give him another big bowl, fill it up!"

Lao Wang's eyes bulged out.

The young lady was leaning against Lao Wang with her legs crossed, but after hearing Li Cang's words, she immediately changed her position, and even changed to a less dignified cross-legged sitting position, with her back straight and her eyes not squinting.

Several old ladies laughed and looked slightly relaxed. The aunt who was the patriarch fiddled with some kind of peat-like lumps that were burning in the fire pit: "Grandma, take a bucket of snow, and then go to mine." Get a teapot from the igloo. The distinguished guests are not used to milk tea, so I will make some pure tea for them to drink.”

Li Leisi asked curiously: "How did you live before? Why do you seem to be so adaptable to the cold wave?"

"I and most of the people here are Inuit. We lived in the Chukchi Sea before the disaster. Compared with the marine environment in recent years, we are indeed more accustomed to the current frozen world, but the cold wave is too In such a hurry, we didn’t have time to store enough food to sustain us through the winter. My intuition tells me that this will be an extremely long ice season.”

Li Cang asked: "Then what do you usually rely on to get food?"

"There are frozen fish and shrimps under the ice, as well as some terrestrial beasts. The cold wave has frozen the dark Devil's Swamp. Those hellish creatures are no longer a threat, and the animals that appear on the ice are also better than before. There are several times more. Every week, I organize the tribesmen to go out together to set traps, sometimes for strange animals, sometimes for birds. The harvest is usually very meager, but it is already very good!”

When it comes to swamp worms, the vicissitudes of the face are filled with visceral fear.

Old Wang held a large bowl of milk tea but didn't drink it. He walked around in the ice house and observed the stitches of the animal skins and the decorations painted with totems: "How many people are there? Why don't I see any young people?"

"There are 172 tribesmen in total. Some of them went out to check traps and hunt. As for the young people, they will show up later." Chief Sedna smiled, "Dear guest, the tea is ready. It is all high-quality wild tea picked by the tribesmen before the arrival of winter. It is very beneficial to regulate the internal organs and five qi. Men will become stronger after drinking it, and women will have fair skin after drinking it. I think you will like its taste, so why not try it."

Old Wang looked at his bowl helplessly, with a look of frustration on his face.

Li Cang thanked him and took the tea bowl: "I'm sorry for destroying your home. After the sky island passes, I will try my best to restore it to its original state, or build an ice bridge for you to pass through the ice valley?"

Sedna said: "No, no, no, my dear guest, you don't know that there are many foods frozen under the ice that we can't reach normally. This ice valley has a more positive meaning for us. We can exploit the richer food resources deeper in the ice layer, build safer and more hidden houses on the cliffs, and do many things that we can't do normally. So, it should be me and my people who should thank you!"

"Is that so?"

"Yes!"

"Well, I saw that you have a lot of good quality fur products drying, with fine "I like the exquisite embroidery and beautiful totem patterns. I plan to buy them. Maybe we can exchange some?"

"You don't have to do that, my dear guest."

"I really like them!" Li Cang interrupted, "What supplies are you lacking here?"

Sedna was so happy that she couldn't stop crying: "I really don't know how to thank you. If possible, we hope to get some green leafy vegetables. Winter has just arrived, but my people have to rely on raw fish and animal livers to supplement vitamins. Some people can't get used to the Chukchi lifestyle and have started to get diarrhea and stay in bed. I'm sorry, I'm not expecting to get medicine from you, such precious things."

In a word, there is nothing here except ice and snow.

Li Lace suddenly said: "Are you willing to live in another place? We can send you to a human settlement!"

Sedna hesitated, her heart was moved for a moment, and she swallowed hard.

"Thank you for your kindness, sorry, but our Sky Island."

If we stay here, there is at least hope of getting Sky Island back. If we leave, the world will change and things will change, and then we will really lose everything.

Li Leisi shrugged and buried her head to continue petting the dog.

Lao Wang said casually: "Why not dig it out? Oh, yes, there are bugs."

The channel has been dug for three days, and they don't even understand how this thing reproduces. There are no traces of insect eggs or other residual traces, and there are so many of them, big and small, that they are everywhere. Except for the cancerous deformation of the Twin Tyrants, it is estimated that only the cancer bomb can completely clean it up. But if this thing is used, it may be better for normal people to use Sky Island to raise bugs. At least Sky Island is still there, right?

Li Cang put down the teacup: "Anyway, we have to dig around here. With so many of you, in addition to the subordinates, you can send a group of strippers to sacrifice a little bit to clean up the sky island. The bugs are not very active now. If you pay attention to protection, the problem should not be too big."

Sedna's eyes lit up: "This"

"The track line does not wait for anyone. There is only so much we can do. It can be regarded as compensation for the demolition of your house. If you want to take back the sky island from the bugs, now is the best time. I think they should not be easy to deal with when they are active."

In the past one or two months, I have been busy with some weird work that I don't know what it is. It delays my typing. I will try to adjust my working hours and biological clock and change back to normal updates during the day as soon as possible.
