The Record of Unusual Creatures Chapter 636: After the end
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
Hao Ren is driving his own official car that can do almost anything but not become Optimus Prime, flying on this desolate and weird planet, watching the huge, ancient, old and bring to people The repressive steel relics passed by the window quickly. They are now passing by a giant engine that is extinguished. This engine feels like a weird extinct volcano. It has peaks and thin shapes. It can be seen on the black shell. To the thick pipes and alloy frames, some old and mottled traces are distributed on the high "mountains", which is probably the rust produced when the atmosphere of this planet is still abundant.
Lily has been looking out the car window, she sighed faintly: "The machine is still alive, but the man is dead ... Who created these things?"
"No higher life signs have been scanned yet, only some microorganisms, barely survived in the extreme environment deep underground," Hao Ren glanced down at the car ’s control panel, where something like a fuel gauge mileage should have been displayed In fact, a virtual screen is suspended, and the things on it are complex radar charts and the communication interface with the giant turtle rock station, "The humans on this planet may have died out ... of course, they may also hide in some shelters. Here, and we haven't found it yet. "
"The second possibility is not high," Vivian shook his head, "intuition."
"You said these engines are running automatically?" Hao Ren turned his head and glanced at Vivian.
Vivian is still shaking his head: "I don't understand the engine, I just feel that this place haunts the atmosphere of death ... Blood Clan is very sensitive to this atmosphere."
A group of people did not stay near the flameout engine, but just left a few circles to leave a few images and then continued to hurry. The huge and powerful propeller was quickly left behind. The crowd continued to move forward. After passing through more huge pipelines and steel ruins, they encountered some other sporadic buildings that looked like sentinels and bunkers-these things make people think of military bases. It seems that before the completion of those huge engines, there was a war on this planet.
It's just that all the traces have been covered by thick ice and snow. Only these sporadic remnants in the highlands can still be exposed to the ice. Unless you stop and perform a detailed scan, it is difficult to know the thick solid carbon dioxide and ordinary ice. What is hidden below?
The car continued to move forward, and the surrounding area became warmer. Three blue and white flames rushing into the sky and the giant engine under the flames could be clearly seen near the horizon. The thermal radiation of the plasma flame dissipated the cold in a certain range, and returned carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. It even melted ordinary ice and snow in a certain range, and finally normal mud and stones could be seen on the road.
A crackling sound came out of the window from time to time. It was the sound of the wind blowing the sand and hitting the car shell: the operation of the giant engine caused the nearby dry ice and other substances to return to the atmosphere, and these heated and expanding gases were lifted off and After spreading into the distance, it cooled to ice debris, and was re-entangled near the engine in the lower atmosphere, so the sublimation-expansion-landing-cooling cycled back and forth, rolling up a never-ending edge wind, and the surrounding of the engine became The only place on the planet where the atmosphere exists.
The engines are so huge that they even produce phenomena like natural weather during operation. However, the scope of these phenomena is quite limited, with a "wind circle" around each engine. After crossing this ring-shaped wind belt, the front became lifeless again.
After moving on for a while, Hao Ren accidentally discovered the remains of the city.
The city was built on high ground, and because of the proximity of an engine in operation, the heat of the plasma flame melted the nearby ice and snow, so the city was not covered by white. Hao Ren drove into the city ruins at the request of Nangong ’s brothers and sisters. I can see the orderly high-rise buildings everywhere. Although the style is very different from that on the earth, I can still learn from the exquisite planning and technology-rich building design. Experience that there was once a civilization with strong scientific and technological strength.
And unlike those dark engines, the city used to have beautiful colors-the exterior walls of the buildings are meticulously decorated, the streets can see colorful patterns like advertising pictures, roofs, squares, roads ... ... all these places are not rigid. Hao Ren drove through the middle of a twin building, and he saw that the two buildings looked like a pair of symmetrically grown plant shoots, and the buildings were connected by a thin and elegant curved sky bridge.
Buildings of this size can be seen everywhere in the city ruins, and there are various styles, some are elegant, some are as rugged as those huge engines, and some ca n’t even see whether they are used to live or simply Decoration. Lily looked at the old buildings with open mouths. Imagine that there is a sunny day. This alien city is shining brightly to welcome the busy day. The buildings are covered with ambilight, and the roads are quiet and idle. Crowds, there may be agile civilian aircraft between the buildings ... these imaginations receded like a tide, and she was still lifeless in front of her eyes.
The empty buildings stood lifelessly in the dark, silently facing the distant stars, and greeted the uninvited guests with a rigid face.
And in the background of the city ’s architectural complex, a plasma beam that cuts through the sky divides the entire night sky into two.
"There is no life response," Hao Ren looked at the radar on the car, "And the city has been deserted for a long time, I guess at least 10,000 years."
Hao Ren's statement is not a random speculation, he now has more or less knowledge and judgment in this area. He feels that this city should be the product before the completion of the engine, because once those engines are started, the planet will be out of orbit and enter the space, and the aborigines of this planet obviously have no ability to maintain their entire atmosphere without leaving the sun. Heating-so after building their engines, they must abandon the city on the surface and move to underground shelters or hibernation facilities.
And if the engine did n’t start 10,000 years ago, then everything would be simpler: the inhabitants of the city must have died in the disaster of annihilation.
Vivian asked softly: "Why do you think they want to transform their planet into this?"
"Obviously for escape," Hao Ren looked at the huge plasma flame in the distance, "And I guess most of them are First born ... or the disasters caused by the brain monsters. In addition to the disaster of extinction, what else can make Does race push its home planet to the wandering path? "
Lily grabbed the Hao Ren seat back, rolled his eyes for a moment, and shook his head: "Obviously something went wrong with their escape."
Vivian was surprised by the occasional flash of Husky: "How do you know?"
"Because this planet only set off a hundred years ago," Lily's ears shook, "Angry took the Nangong couple and sent it to this planet a hundred years ago, when it remembered The starry sky was still seen near the pile of sun embers before, which means that the planet was still out of its own solar system a hundred years ago. The extinction disaster of this universe basically happened 10,000 years ago ... so this planet 'S escape plan obviously failed. Say you really didn't expect this? "
Vivian is very sincere: "I just didn't expect you to think of these."
"I'm not stupid again." Lily rolled his eyes and lay down on the seat to ignore the bat.
Hao Ren smiled and watched these two enemies quarreling daily: "Lily is right, since this planet is about to run away, it should be set off 10,000 years ago. So it must be something wrong. The solar system stayed for 10,000 years, and it did n’t start suddenly until the Nangong couple was brought here ... I am afraid the problem was a hundred years ago. "
The team lingered in the city for a while, but eventually disappointed. There are no complex life reactions here, nor traces of human life in the short term. Although the entire city is enveloped in a relatively warm environment and liquid water and moss-like basic plants can be found, it seems that the parents of the Nangong brothers and sisters did not live here.
However, Nangong ’s brothers and sisters are still slightly uplifted: the environment in this city is clearly enough for a Siren and a Demon Hunter to survive. Although it is not comfortable, it is okay to try hard. There are more than one "livable" areas like this, and every engine that is breathing flames may have living conditions nearby. Since they are not in this city, they can continue to find them.
Until searching the entire planet.

I heard that a reader was hanged by 20,000 phishing websites because he bought G online. This world is really Dangerous.) (To be continued.)
