"Something’s wrong." The hound simply lay down. "The big guy should make much more noise when he moves than those bugs!"
He lay down to put one side of his helmet on the ground and listened carefully.
"Did you hear anything?" Leighton asked.
"Quiet!" The hound didn’t even look up, but raised his hand and gave Leighton a middle finger. "Don’t go out! Give away your gun engine that should have crashed! I can’t hear any sound when my mother keeps turning! "
"Oh, oh," Leighton hurriedly dropped the preheating state machine gun engine. Without the friction between metal balls and bearings, the power room became quieter.
"Old dog … you … did you hear anything?" Hold your breath for nearly ten seconds Leighton this just can’t help but ask the hound.
"I can’t hear anything … damn it, I almost forgot that there are people in the team who are more professional than me!" As soon as the hound jumped up from the ground, his eyes shone brightly at Asano Zhao. "Brother Asano, among us, your ears are the brightest. The sound of those bugs crawling just now was the first time you heard it. Can you hear the bottom of the pit now?"
Leighton, Ivan … and those agents who came to hold Aya also set their sights on this young man who has been keeping his eyes closed and his expression is calm.
"Some sounds are very subtle and difficult to capture …" Asano said softly.
Other people’s breathing immediately relieved some of the atmosphere and became tense again.
No one dared to interrupt, waiting for Asano Akira to continue.
"But it doesn’t sound like scraping of joints and rocks," Asano said again.
"This … what kind of sound is that?"
"I don’t know what to describe," Asano said honestly.
"I …" The hound suddenly had an impulse to swear, but the swearing came to his throat and he swallowed it forcefully. "Can you simulate it? Imitate one roughly, roughly and simply … or do you think carefully about the similarities in those familiar sounds on weekdays to compare what kind of sounds you hear? "
"Can you imagine what will make that kind of sound that you can hear no matter how outrageous it is?" Aya also induced. "For example, the sound of thin iron sheets being torn, nails scraping the blackboard …"
"It’s a bit like …" Asano Akio paused and continued, "Several huge and heavy polyhedral glass balls grind the rock ground slightly."
“？ ? ？” The hound and Aya looked at each other blankly, and they could make up the sound, but they couldn’t imagine what would make such a strange sound at the bottom of the pit
Asano’s description is not abstract, but the sound is so special that they have racked their brains and can’t imagine anything other than glass balls rolling over rocks that can make a similar sound.
Stop talking about pictures. I can’t even think of a specific concept.
"I can’t fucking think of it. I just don’t want to go straight over and look at my eyes. I don’t believe it can fucking blind me for the second time!" The hound said angrily and stepped towards the edge of the crater.
But Leighton is pulled him "old dog or I go? Your eyes haven’t recovered and my reaction speed is faster than yours. If there is any danger … "
"Fart your mother." The hound broke free from Leighton’s hand. "You are a broken cyborg. Most of your body is Cybertron. What the hell kind of resonance force field we encounter is that the equipment is scrapped at most. Who will save you when the artificial heart stops?"
"…" Leighton’s mouth was slightly open, but he couldn’t hold back a rebuttal reason-the hound said that it was true that the most restraint of the resonance force field in someone’s place was that he, a mechanical bioroid with a large number of cybernetic prostheses, would be absolutely fatal if he wanted to blow up his vital organs like that man-machine movement.
"That, that old thing, you be careful," Leighton said, watching the hound lean over and touch the edge of the crater step by step.
However, the hound leaned out and looked at it and then lost his laughter-
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha-"
"Old dog? What’s going on? What do you see? " Leighton quickly asked
"Ha ha ha ha laugh me to death, I know what those big guys can’t climb. Ha ha ha ha, you can come and have a look yourself. Ha ha ha …"
After the hound said this, Leighton also went to the pit with curiosity and carefully looked into the pit.
Chapter four hundred and ninety-six Crystallized lava
At the bottom of the crater, thirteen hundred-meter-level mutant lava salamanders are dormant-more precisely, thirteen mutant lava salamanders whose bodies have been crystallized.
Unlike larvae with tiny crystals on their body surface, the outer carapace of these 100-meter-class giants has almost completely crystallized, and their body organs can be faintly seen through these crystals.
"No wonder Asano Akira said he heard the sound of a glass ball rolling on the ground …" Leighton muttered to himself and shared the picture with everyone in the reconnaissance team.
Of course, crystallization is not the main reason why these lava rafts lose their mobility-because they have been stuck at the bottom of the pit by crystal pillars for a long time, their bodies have been completely deformed, and flat grooves have been squeezed out on both sides of their huge abdomen, just like Tom was caught in the door in the classic cartoon Tom and Jerry.
On the other hand, these crystallized lava webbed joints are degenerated because they don’t exercise all the year round-it doesn’t make people feel a little funny that those pairs of joints that are several meters long and hundreds of meters long can’t even reach the ground in vain.
Leighton can almost imagine the growth process of these crystallized lava rafts-when they entered the pit, their bodies were not long enough to be stuck by crystal pillars, but the pit was full of energy and massive high-grade crystals, so they threw a mouse into a jar full of rice … They devoured everything crazily and greedily … until the rice in the jar was completely eaten, but at this time the mouse could no longer reach the edge of the jar.
Of course, this situation is not that the rice in the rice jar is eaten, but that the mouse is getting fatter and fatter, and the rice pile is getting deeper and deeper. Later, it has been pressed by the heavy rice pile and can’t climb to the bottom.
But then again, if there is such a pot that can’t eat rice, most mice should be willing to stay in it for a generation …
"These bugs are like bananafish …" I don’t know when Ivan came to the pit and sighed lightly.
"Like what … what fish?" The hound took a look at Ivan and asked
Bananafish banana fish
"Banana fish? What’s that? A fish that look like a banana? Is it a pre-Earth species? "
"No, it’s an allusion from Salinger’s novel A Good Day to Catch Banana Fish" in the old era. "Kelan has a strong voice from the team communication channel." The original text is’ They swam into a hole full of bananas. When they swam in, they were still ordinary fish, but once they entered the hole, they couldn’t stop eating until they were as fat as pigs and never came out of the hole again’ … The fictional image of banana fish symbolizes the endless desire of human beings. "
Kelan paused for a few breaths before adding that "not only human beings have desires …"
The desire to give up freedom and human nature are more important things … I don’t know what Koran suddenly thought of the "prophet" of heresy.
What is his desire?
Born?
Life and reproduction are the two basic desires of all living things, namely, hunting, eating and migration … A series of actions to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages are ultimately based on these two basic desires, even if these crystallized lava rafts trapped at the bottom of the pit swallow a lot of energy crystals, they will live longer and produce more grandchildren.
There are humans … Kelan has the impression that there are humans who have some shallow desires and give up their lives.
Of course, the word desire may not be accurate, but it can be desire, belief, idea or something more difficult to describe
There are too many things that human beings can’t ask for … strength, wealth, knowledge … Many people are willing to sacrifice their lives for them, but they are more pure than the "prophet" desire.
He wants to be stronger and live in this universe.
To achieve this goal, he can give up everything else.
"It’s like a beast …" Kelan thought silently in his heart.
