Going north, the weather becomes colder.
The whistling cold wind wrapped around the plains with fine sand and dust, and the light and unknown fluff plants were blown on the ground. The Roll was everywhere. The bleak air enveloped the whole plain, and the cold wind seemed to be silent. Telling how savage the world is in. Tall vegetation is rarely seen on the endless wilderness. Due to the cold climate zone here, and because of the low temperature environment that has spread all over the world and has not completely faded, the wasteland can only see those low bushes and listless bushes and The clusters of unnamed wild grasses in the east and west are really not a place suitable for life.
Of course, it is not suitable for hunting.
Of course there are hunting fields and plants, but there are dozens of kilometers away from this wilderness. There is a lush coniferous forest. There are small and large grasslands around the coniferous forest. Colonies of herbivores and a handful of predators haunt the place. They feed two small primitive tribes-of course the reverse is also true. Primitive tribes also feed on the carnivorous beasts in the forest.
This is the age when the human beings and the beasts are in the same class and are prey to each other.
Hao Ren wore a burred leather robe on a rock protruding from the ground. His costume looked weather-beaten, but for the aborigines at this time, this costume is still an incomprehensible magical thing. He put his gazebo on his gaze and looked deeper into the wilderness: this place with gravel and tundra plants looks similar everywhere, but when he comes here, he does n’t have to worry about getting lost, because there is a very striking " "Landmark" stands in the distance. It is a white cone reflecting the sunlight. It looks like a white pagoda in the distance. In fact, it is a huge piece of ice. It is awesomely called "Tatumu" by the locals. ——This vocabulary is translated as “ice tomb”, and the meaning of the word is quite majestic.
Hao Ren looked back, and the two thin men wrapped in animal skin immediately flinched in his eyes. Their skin is light brown, and their faces are painted with paint made of grass juice and animal blood. They hold sticks and spears with stone spearheads in their hands. They are warriors in the tribe, but they are looking at Hao Ren. When I was still panicking, it was very simple: the power beyond understanding made these two tribal natives who had only primitive religious concepts have great fear. Hao Ren used a glowing long gun to kill the mammoth with a single gun. It is still lingering in the minds of these two tribal warriors.
This is a temporary guide-in a city that lacks all the landmarks and landscapes and ca n’t find any historical records, even in a time when the topography and landform are not consistent with later generations, it ’s a pain to have no guide. At a certain backtracking, Hao Ren had been walking on the Gobi Desert for almost a month, so as long as he had the conditions, he would definitely try to deceive one or two guides from the local pit.
Fortunately, as it gets closer to the ancient times, the difficulty of the pit abduction guide becomes lower and lower-many times it is only necessary to reveal the power beyond their understanding, these are in awe of the power of nature and mystery The primitive man of the heart will respectfully and loyally.
Of course, there is a bad side-communication with the original people is always a bit troublesome. Although the translation plugin can solve the language problem, but the world view is different, there is no way to ignore it. In many cases, Hao Ren has to choose from In their crude vocabulary guessing whether they are talking about what they mean.
At this time, he will involuntarily miss the friends who have left the team-such as Lily, such as Heather Anna, such as Hasselblad and Hespe rides, although the last two are usually either cold or frosting, or at the same time speaking against each other, but at the very least All three views are on the approximate horizontal line.
However, they have all left. Hespe rides left the queue in 4705 BC, and Hasselblad accompanied Hao Ren until 6012 BC. After that, Hao Ren continued to travel alone, countercurrent in this historic river. On the other hand, exploring the increasingly savage ancient earth.
"Where is the place where the great **** sleeps?"
Hao Ren shook his head, tossing irrelevant things aside, and raised his finger to the huge iceberg in the distance and asked.
The two tribal warriors waved their arms down once—this is a sign of affirmation in their habit, and the taller one then said: “Yes, that is. The surrounding ice will melt, but That piece of ice never melted. This used to be our hunting ground, but now everyone dare not come over. "
Hao Ren nodded. He already knew something about it. He had inquired clearly when he was in the primitive tribe: this plain was not as barren as it was a long time ago, although the low temperature during the glacial recession period made the vegetation scarce. , But at least there are some wild animals on the plains, even if there are not many, but in the difficult times of the end of the ice river, you can still feed several small tribes. But then a "great god" passed by the plain. She was angry because someone had hunted her prey, so she used large ice blocks to freeze the entire plain, which led to the movement of several tribes on the plain to predators. In Manglin, there are only two tribes that migrated to the present day.
The great **** lives on the plain, and the nearby tribes firmly believe in this: Although the large ice block that covered the entire earth had melted, there was an ice tower like an iceberg in the middle of the plain. Even if the ice is exposed to direct sunlight or flames, there will not be any shrinkage, and the growth of plants around the ice blocks is extremely difficult, and wild animals are afraid to approach. These are proofs that the gods live here.
The superstitious tribe residents believe that this is the punishment of the great **** is not over yet. She wants those expelled tribes to use bravery to prove who is eligible to return to their homeland, so the two tribes in the distant mangrove forest have been Disputes continue.
The primitive man ’s blind and ignorant mythical story Hao Ren does n’t care. He can only determine one thing: the “Great God” who can freeze the entire plain with large ice cubes in the mouth of nearby tribe residents should refer to Vivian.
"I'm going there." Hao Ren said casually.
The two tribe warriors who came as guides were taken aback, and at the same time they showed great panic. They shuddered all the time and retreated back and forth: "No, no, no one can get close to the place of the Great God, we Will be frozen into ice, and then melt when the sun rises the next day ... "
Hao Ren looked at the horrified appearance of these two primitives. He could imagine the terrible legend of Vivian ’s sleeping place in the minds of these ignorant ancient human beings. If they were forced to dig Vivian ’s grave with them , I am afraid that these two primitives wearing animal skins will be scared to death.
So he shook his head: "Go back, I will go alone."
He then took out two alloy short knives from the portable space and handed them to two temporary guides: "I said before, this is a reward for you."
The two tribe warriors carefully took over the two weapons that had never appeared in their world view, and soon confirmed its sharpness and sturdiness, all of which suddenly showed surprise.
Without thinking about the two primitives, Hao Ren walked down the rock platform and walked towards the ice crown tower in the distance.
The cold north wind blows again.
Walking while walking, he couldn't help but feel a sense of openness and loneliness. Looking at this uninhabited permafrost Gobi, he even felt that the whole world was left alone. How long has this historical retrospective journey taken? He is even somewhat unclear. He continues to traverse the twisted and messy Space - Time. The chaos of time also leads to sensory confusion. He entered the dark and barbaric middle age from the advanced city of human civilization, and then entered from the backward middle age. The splendid era of mythology, and then from the era of mythology to the barbaric antiquity, advanced and backward, civilization and barbarism, human beings and aliens have built two completely different landscapes in different historical periods, all kinds of contradictory Things are spirally distributed on this historical trajectory, so that as a passenger, Hao Ren is not even sure whether he is moving along a continuous timeline.
The more you enter the antiquity, the more obvious this feeling will be.
Sometimes his last foothold was the ignorance of primitive natural tribes, but the next step was to step into the steel city transformed by the stranded interstellar spacecraft. After coming out of the steel city, he plunged into a kingdom of theocracy. The next stop of the kingdom of theocracy might be full of magic guides and steam ...
The aliens did n’t build the great empire of the mythological era immediately after they arrived on the earth. They also experienced the early stage of development. The original alien base may be just a broken city wreck or a crumbling fragment of alien space. Then, it took them hundreds of years or even thousands of years to understand how these things from the home world should be used. After that, they began to turn their attention to the primitive intelligent inhabitants of this planet, that is, the people of the earth.
At this moment, Hao Ren is at a time when aliens have just landed on the earth and are still in their respective circles.
The huge ice block is very close. At this distance, Hao Ren noticed that it is really huge. The height of the conical ice structure may be more than 100 meters. The cold breath spreads from the giant ice. , A layer of semi-permanent frozen area was formed in the area around a few hundred meters, and a trace of blood red was irregularly distributed in this white frozen area, like the capillaries under the skin.
Hao Ren ’s eyes crossed the ice tower and fell on a mountain in the distance. He could see a beam of light rising from that mountain, slowly sweeping across half of the sky.
It was an observation tower built by Odin and his people. The Nordic gods who have just recovered from the alien syndrome are about to observe this mysterious and strange planet. They have hundreds of thousands of sick and weak people. Needs nourishment by food and medicine; in the southern plains, a rune dwarf tribe is carving text on the young tribe and celebrating the release of the first steel; among the more distant mountains, Zeus has just set foot on this planet The earth, looking for rocks that can be used as building materials in the mountains to repair the houses that collapsed due to space shocks on Mount Olympus; in the ancient Nile River basin, half of the solar boat of the God of Ras plunged into the jungle , Osiris and Isis watched the crashed propulsion engine at a loss, and were preparing to develop a spaceship maintenance plan for a thousand years ...
And humans, humans have not recovered from the cold of the Ice Age, their tribes are not ready to meet the era of the gods, but the age of mythology has come suddenly.
Hao Ren came under the tower of ice, and through the thick ice layer, he seemed to be able to see the "princess" sleeping in the ice.
He put his hand on the ice and sighed softly: "Vivian, I found you again."
It is now 7715 BC, when the glacier subsides and everything is born.
