Chapter 108 Respective Missions (3rd)

Turning their heads in confusion, No. 1 and No. 3 stared blankly at No. 2, and asked after a while, "Then...and then?"

"Aren't you shocked at all! After passing through the black hole, we actually returned to the mother star. This is a great discovery! Why did the bipeds, that is, humans leave! Why did the ancestors suddenly gain wisdom? Are you not curious about these things? ?”

"I'm curious why today's pine cones taste salt and pepper." No. 3 asked dissatisfiedly while holding the pine cones in front of him.

"That's because it's salt and pepper when you put it in, idiot."

Finding that his companions were indifferent to this discovery, Number Two immediately despaired of his small team.

This team is not the only one with a brain!

The three of them are technology hunters. They explore the ruins of bipeds and excavate technology from them to promote the progress of technology.

Their technology has been very distorted. The squirrel people already have the ability to travel in the universe, but their agriculture is very unscientific, and their genetic technology is very backward.

The abnormally developed technology has finally hit a barrier, and the end of their civilization is coming.

That is genetic level, irreversible degeneration.

Their genes have mutated due to unknown reasons, and some squirrels have exhibited plant characteristics, which cannot be reversed.

Infected squirrels will slowly become stiff in their movements, and their roots will protrude from the soles of their feet, trying to cling to the ground.

After that, the speed of thinking and reaction will slowly decrease, and the rat will fall into a dull state, and finally completely turn into a plant.

This process exists at the genetic level, and the existing technology in the Squirrel Kingdom can't find the cause at all. This strange disease makes them have to constantly explore the ruins, looking for that slim hope.

However, the universe is too dangerous. Terrible gamma storms, sudden supernova pulses, and the aftermath of a stellar fluctuation hundreds of years ago may all come suddenly and kill them.

The previous shadow apostles were a less dangerous part of it, but when activated for unknown reasons, they would frantically attack the living creatures around them. It was extremely lucky to escape into the black hole and survive.

But the old adage that there is a nut behind every piece of bad luck is so true.

They actually returned to their home planet!

After knowing what this place is, No. 2's heart ignited hope.

The key to saving their group might be here!

"Beta, help find signs of life."

"Inspecting...the inspection is complete, there are everywhere."

"Why are they everywhere?"

"There are planetary life forms."

This time, not only No. 2, but also No. 1 and No. 3 gasped.

The universe is too big, and in the mirror universe where they live, super-large-scale life forms abound.

According to the size of life forms, they divide them into satellite-level life forms, planet-level life forms, super-large planet-level life forms, star-level life forms, etc.

The shadow believer that I met later was also a satellite-level life form, but there was still a big gap with the planet-level life form.

Now that the existence of planetary life forms has been confirmed, Beta feels that he should be more careful.

Looking around, he saw the beautiful park not far away at a glance, then pointed there with his little paw and asked, "What is that place?"

"Detected the existence of older living body data, detected the existence of a large number of early version explaining robots, detected the existence of a large number of inanimate structures..."

Hearing Beta's series of boosting sounds, Number Two became more and more curious about that place.

In the midst of the surrounding ruins, the vast and exquisite garden is an oasis that is hard not to attract attention.

Pulling off the roots from its claws, it said to number one and number three: "Let's go, let's go there and have a look. Remember to bring the nuts."

"What about the spaceship?" asked One.

Looking back at the spaceship that had broken into two pieces, No. 2 shook his head helplessly.

The spaceship is also a part of biped technology. They can only do simple imitation, but they can no longer manufacture it.

And this is an extremely traditional piece of equipment, and they no longer have the means to restore it.

It's a pity, but that's the end of its mission.

After patting the spacecraft, No. 2 can see many things from it.

The traces of decay left by the shadow apostles, the scratches of small meteorites, the scorched marks left by the weapons of interstellar pirates...

Every wound is a proof that they were born and died together, and there is a story behind every wound. These stories are a legend, and today is likely to be the end of the legend.

"Thank you, old friend."

Patting the hull of the spaceship, No. 2 greeted No. 1 and No. 3 to take them to salute, and walked towards the botanical garden under the leadership of the floating Beta.

They walked for three hours to get there.

Although they had already taken off their space suits, the journey still made them very tired.

And when they got there, they realized that it was bigger than they imagined.

The three-meter-high fence towered into the sky in the eyes of the squirrels, and the long fence stretched all the way to the horizon, making them find that this place was bigger than they imagined.

But squirrels are natural wall climbers.

They climbed on the wall, and when they climbed over the wall, they were stunned by the beautiful scenery in front of them.

Plants that need a lot of water are everywhere, delicate trees are dotted among them, blue flowers bloom in flowerbeds, everything looks so perfect.

After staring blankly at the fence for a while, No. 1 couldn't help but said, "This place is really beautiful, what kind of place is this?"

Beta was silent for a while, and then said: "It has been switched to the botanical garden explanation mode. This is the botanical garden."

"What is a botanical garden?"

"A place for placing plants and watching them. Bipeds, that is, humans used to like this kind of equipment very much. They like to come here in their free time and pass the time by observing plants."

"Are these foods delicious?" Number Three asked drooling.

"Most are just ornamental and poisonous, and they need a lot of sunlight and clean water, fertile soil, etc."

"It's too wasteful!" No. 2 cried out, "Is it so wasteful for human beings to use precious land and resources to cultivate inedible things?"

"For former humans, this was just an ordinary means of entertainment."

Beta's answer made number two silent.

The human age is a great golden age. Advanced technology and complete industries allow them to dominate the mirror universe. Even if they perish, the afterglow still guides their pets.

A huge botanical garden requires resources beyond their imagination.

And such a huge building is actually just a device for entertainment. This luxury has already made them at a loss for what to say.

Just about to jump down to feel the plants here, No. 2 heard Beta say: "Please don't get close to the grass, especially by jumping on one foot."

"Why?"

"It looks like grass, but it's essentially a mimicry of some kind of plant. The plant feeds on a hopping creature called an allus, so hopping at a certain frequency will stimulate its Predatory instinct, and attacked by it."

"That's it. Wait!"

Sensitively feeling something, No. 2 continued to ask: "I have a question, plants don't move, right?"

"Yes." Beta replied.

"Animals move, right?"

"That's right."

"Then why do the plants here move?"

"Because of the needs of biological weapons, human beings have broken the barriers between plants and animals, mixing animals and plants together. So the plants here look like plants, but in essence, they are animals and plants that can evolve."

Number two's expression became more serious.

Thinking of the unavoidable plant diseases of their group, he asked in disbelief, "So, our diseases..."

"The local network has been connected, and the database has been updated... Yes, it can be speculated that the source of your illness is here."

"Our ancestors...were all biological weapons?"

"Yes."

The sudden truth made No. 2 feel absurd.

They have been trying to solve their own problems, trying to understand their own origin, but they did not expect the truth to be like this.

Biological weapons, that's why they were created.

Looking at No. 2 chipmunk with a pale face, No. 1 pushed him, gnawed on a nut and asked, "What's wrong with you, don't give me nuts."

"We are biological weapons!"

"Oh, and then?"

Looking at the bewildered No. 1 and No. 3, No. 2 suddenly realized the key to this problem.

Yes, then what?

Knowing that their source is a biological weapon, will it have any impact on them?

They were still them, they were still the group of squirrels who eliminated the two-legged orcs, they were the ones standing at the top of the food chain.

You are luxurious, you are great, but so what in the end?

We are at the top of the food chain!

And I will find a way to save myself on the home planet, and we squirrel people will be perfect and great again.

Thinking of this, number two was full of pride, and was about to get up to express his pride when he saw a strange guy coming out of the corner.

The other party...is weird.

His body is very uncoordinated, his arms and legs look very slender, and the fur on his body is only a small pinch on the top of his head. There is no tail on his lower body, and he doesn't know how to keep his balance.

He is very tall, and the six of them can be as tall as each other when they are stacked together. People don't know how it survived without breaking a bone.

Immediately lowered his head, No. 2 stood on the fence, looked at the guy below and asked in horror: "What is that?"

"It looks like a human being, but there are no signs of life." Beta said suspiciously, "An entity that has never been seen before needs to be registered, temporarily registered as a humanoid."

"Humans look like this? It's not in the literature I read! Shouldn't they be species without tails or with tails growing in front?"

"The literature is mostly speculative, and it is normal to deviate from the facts. It is recommended to continue to observe."

Accepting Beta's proposal, No. 2 could only continue to observe.

After just watching for a while, No. 2 found that the behavior of human beings can only be described as weird.

Since his appearance, he has never stopped.

He's trying to invade the garden.

There were obvious warning signs beside the garden, but he ignored them and kept charging towards the garden.

He tries to jump into the garden, but is stopped by a beta-like machine.

He tried to dig a hole outside the garden with his bare hands, but was stopped.

Walk up the rockery, then jump from the rockery into the garden and get stopped in mid-air.

Try to break the garden fence, and then argue with the machine that a garden without a fence is not a garden, but the machine slaps it to stop it, and then orders it to return to its original state.

Tried to go into the garden to pick flowers during recovery, was stopped, then didn't show up for five hours.

Show up five hours later, seriously restore the garden, say goodbye to the machine politely, and then go to the lake to start diving.

Attempts to jump straight into the lake and is blocked.

try……

The three squirrels were lying on the city wall, staring at the scene in front of them dumbfounded.

At this moment, No. 2 feels that even the craziest fantasy novels can't write the scene in front of him. The human-like behavior completely subverts its cognition, making him feel that he has fallen into a state of madness.

However, powerful rationality forced him to return to normal, but his companions were already dead.

Looking at the guy in front of him, Number One murmured, "Who am I, and who is it? Is the world a dream of My Little Pony or a giant bubble of nothingness?"

Leaving aside the two companions for now, No. 2 asked: "Beta, can you guess what these humans are doing?"

"Insufficient data, temporarily unable to speculate. Please continue to collect information to assist me in making a judgment."

After thinking for a while, No. 2 and the other slapped their companions in the face, waking them up physically.

Telling them about Beta's deduction, No. 2 said seriously: "Next, we need to observe these humanoids, and then find out the secret here."

"I don't want to die!" No. 1 shouted in fear.

"That's right." No. 3 nodded in horror, "I'm going crazy just seeing him, it's absolutely impossible for me to find out its secrets."

"But there's nothing else we can do," sighed Number Two.

Glancing at the humanoid who was still trying to jump into the lake, instinctive fear struck him, preventing him from looking more.

However, in order to save their group from the brink of extinction, he strengthened his determination and began to look at those guys seriously.

"Look directly at them with me." Number Two said, "Slowly, little by little, dispel the fear in my heart. We can't be afraid, we are already the last hope."

"But I'm still afraid of what to do?" Number Three asked fearfully.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you see that you are not afraid."

And when the three squirrels used desensitization therapy to overcome their fear, their figures had already been targeted.

The universal explaining robot Alpha has seen three squirrels, as well as its own second-generation machine product Beta, which was invented in another universe.

Their origins made Alpha a little curious, but their bodies were of the same origin as the animals and plants in this world, but they had different evolution directions.

This strange performance made him a little curious about these guys, and he was ready to observe and record their performance, find out their latent status, and put them together for the record.

Ever since, a strange scene began.

The players don't know that they are being watched by the three squirrels, and the three squirrels don't know that they are being watched by Alpha.

With different purposes, their behaviors in the botanical garden began to intertwine and influence each other.

The addition of the leader will be delivered later.

If there are no accidents in the future, the first chapter will be updated at about 12 am, and the second and third chapters will be updated at 6 pm. The time in between can be used to think and modify some content to maintain quality.
