Colorful spiritual light illuminated the entire warehouse, and above the equipment piled up like a mountain, a huge black dragon was sleeping soundly.
Waves of snoring echoed through the warehouse a thousand meters away like a sonic boom, causing the psychic rice on the ground to dance.
At the entrance of the metal gate, a group of third-order Long'an soldiers skillfully registered their personal information, and couldn't help but look at the big black dragon with sighs on their faces. .??.
"Master Black Dragon is really good at sleeping."
"Every time I come here to collect supplies, this guy is sleeping. Seriously, doesn't it feel panicked lying on a pile of weapons?"
Although he had seen the black dragon many times, the young man following Liang Shaoguang still couldn't help but complain.
As the most important equipment warehouse in Long'an, the Black Dragon is the guardian here. Of course, whether it protects the supplies or likes to sleep on it is unknown.
"Keep your voice down, this person is not asleep."
"If you don't believe it, try getting an extra piece of equipment. Last time, a level 4 got the wrong piece of equipment and was almost whipped into space by a tail."
Walking at the front, Liang Shaoguang glanced helplessly at his team members and whispered a reminder.
Don't look at the black dragon sleeping every day, just like a mascot, paralyzed on the "Golden Mountain" and not going anywhere.
But as the first old man to follow Lin An, he knew how violent the black dragon can be when it gets angry. In particular, this dragon is notoriously greedy for money.
The team members shrank in fear when they heard the sound. No one knew what the strength of Master Lin An's "pet" was now.
But can someone at level 4 be able to whip him away with one tail? Wouldn’t that mean he could be blown away on the spot?
They bowed respectfully to Heilong, and after showing the receipt information, the few people put away the documents and started working, regardless of whether Heilong looked at them or not.
According to the New Earth Plan, Long'an will soon be relocated and renovated, and in order to save system handling fees, some of the materials here also need to be manually transferred.
Soon, just as several people were sorting out the supplies that needed to be transported, a violent pressure suddenly erupted from above their heads.
Just listen to the sound of "Boom!"! The entire alloy warehouse was like a level 10 storm, and several people were immediately frightened and froze in place.
The strong wind blew, and the unique high-level coercion of the Abyss Dragon Clan cracked the ground like a substance!
Especially for the few awakened people who had just joined Long'an, they felt their breathing was stagnant, and a huge dragon's power suppressed them in place!
What happened!? Could it be that they moved too much and made the black dragon angry!?
Everyone was shocked.
At the same time, Liang Shaoguang seemed to have thought of something, and put his hands across his head with difficulty, and hurriedly shouted to the black dragon to stop!
"Lord Black Dragon!"
"It's me! Did we move too many things!? Please calm down! I'm Lao Liang!"
As an old man, Liang Shaoguang was shocked by Heilong's reaction, but fortunately he had watched Heilong grow up. If they accidentally made a mistake, he was still confident that Heilong could calm down!
However, before Liang Shaoguang shouted again, the next second, the black dragon suddenly flapped its wings, and a trace of anger flashed in its huge lantern-like eyes!
In less than a second, it broke through the warehouse and turned into a black afterimage and disappeared into the sky.
"Captain Liang!? Uncle Liang!? This, this!?"
"Why did Master Black Dragon fly away!?"
The black dragon's sudden change attracted the attention of the entire Long'an in a very short period of time.
Around the warehouse, the fourth-level awakened people responsible for guarding rushed over instantly. One team subconsciously caught up with the black dragon, while the other team flew in front of Liang Shaoguang and asked urgently.
"What happened!? What did you do!? Lao Liang? Is it you?"
He didn't care that there were people he knew among the fourth-order people who came.
Liang Shaoguang also looked stunned at this time, having no idea why the black dragon flew away.
Just looking at the direction where the black dragon disappeared, he subconsciously blurted out
"That direction seems to be Linjiang!?"
"We didn't do anything! The black dragon seemed to have discovered something, and then suddenly flew away!"
"Roar!!!"
A metallic roar echoed throughout the sky above Linjiang.
As Linjiang City has been raided many times, there are only a few scattered mutants and zombies left in the dilapidated urban area. Feeling the power of the dragon above their heads, these monsters hidden in the darkness were like mice for a while, instinctively
Roar and run away.
At the same time, in the rows of buildings on Fengming Road, a man wearing a long robe, wrapping himself airtight, was shocked.
He subconsciously looked at the fluttering dust above his head and hurriedly closed his breath.
But soon, as if he had thought of something, he smashed the oil lamp in his hand and threw it to the ground.
Hearing a bang, a flash of guilt and hesitation flashed in the man's eyes. Taking advantage of a slight spatial fluctuation, he turned around and jumped out from the second floor.
After a few leaps, he left the room before a burst of black mist suddenly appeared.
"Roar!!"
"boom!!"
In the sky above Linjiang City, the roar of the black dragon sounded again, unlike before it was frightening and angry.
At this moment, the black dragon seemed to smell an aura that was unforgettable in its bones, and its huge dragon eyes were full of panic.
"dad!"
"dad!"
The dragon wings flashed, setting off a storm at low altitude, and the fourth-order Long An, who was chasing after him from behind, rushed to the black dragon as quickly as possible and asked urgently.
"Lord Black Dragon!? What's wrong with you!?"
Although the black dragon rarely comes out, everyone in Long'an knows that the black dragon is Lin An's pet. Faced with such an abnormal reaction from the black dragon, they naturally do not dare to take it lightly!
However, facing the inquiry from the fourth level Long An behind him, the black dragon seemed to not trust outsiders at all. After a low roar, it rose into the sky again and flew towards the inner city of Long An in an instant.
It can't find "Daddy"!
Then go find other people under Lin An, other people it is familiar with!
abyss
It smells the breath of the abyss!
Ghost skull scene.
Sitting facing each other.
Between Lin An and Ander, a huge, double-sided eyeball was like a specimen, floating silently between them.
"Lin An, among the five senses of human beings, which one do you think is the most important?"
"Hearing."
"Smell."
"Touch."
"Taste."
"Vision."
"Of these five senses, if you did not consider other perceptual systems and only allowed you to retain one of the basic five senses, which one would you choose?"
His eyes flickered, and before Lin An could answer, Ander blinked and answered on his own.
"You must choose vision, right?"
"The eyes are the most important sense for us to obtain information. People often say that the eyes are the windows to the soul."
In the brief silence, Lin An did not refute Ander's words.
That's right.
If he were to become an ordinary person, 99.99% of people would choose
Preserve vision.
Without hearing, people can communicate with each other through words and pictures. Without taste and smell, it will have no impact on survival.
Even if there is no touch, in low-level battles, it is even a good thing in most scenes. Just like when people are desperate, the secretion of adrenaline will block the transmission of pain, so that humans will not lose their lives due to the pain of touch.
combat effectiveness.
"What do you want to say? Do you want to say that eyes are far more important than other sensory organs?"
Lin An asked coldly.
Ender is deliberately guiding his thinking, and each story is like a puzzle, unfolding around the final secret.
Every piece of information Ander said intentionally or unintentionally stopped before the truth, just like leaving a blank space, deliberately keeping a blank.
Until the last moment, Ender will not put the last piece of the puzzle together, nor will he realize what the ultimate is in advance.
It's like assembling a time bomb. .??.
The bomb will never be pressed until the gunpowder and fuse are assembled.
Reason told Lin An to leave here, but Lin An couldn't do it. In the dark, Lin An could feel that if he left here, he might never have the chance to know this again.
Sooner or later, he needs to face it. If he wants to resist the system and end the apocalypse, he must face some truths and even take the initiative to contact them!
Maybe it's stupid courage, but this is also the biggest difference between Lin An and the fugitives and aliens that he can reach this point!
If he is afraid of the truth and the unknown because he is greedy for life and afraid of death, then he ran away as early as the first time he came into contact with memes!
"That's right."
"But Lin An, have you ever thought about a problem? That is, vision is obviously the most important sense, but we only evolved vision very late?"
"It's like evolving from invertebrates to ridges, and from soft bodies to limbs."
"Every evolution of living things, or evolution, is for itself to survive better. In order to fight against the environment and survive, the more powerful the life form, the more it will develop in two directions."
"1How to obtain more energy and sustain yourself."
"2 If you get more information, avoid danger."
"Of course, these two points are essentially the same. As long as you can obtain more information, you can find more energy. As long as you can know the danger in advance, you can better sustain yourself."
"The crawling insects on the ground cannot see the birds ten meters away, but the goshawks soaring in the sky can spot the rabbits on the ground."
"The confrontation between life is essentially a confrontation of information. Whoever has more information can obtain more resources and occupy a higher level of ecological niche."
"Take the earth as an example. The more complete the self-awareness, the higher the level of intelligence. Almost all creatures have vision."
"But why did such an important organ appear last?"
Facing Ander's question, Lin An's head suddenly jumped.
He had thought about this question, especially when Ander suddenly mentioned it, which instantly reminded him of what he had experienced in the Dark Territory.
"Because humans aren't supposed to have eyes?"
"Things like eyes are incompatible with human beings. Do you want to say that the existence of eyes did not evolve naturally, but appeared out of thin air at a certain point in time?"
In the Black Domain, Lin An clearly remembered the huge shock he felt after seeing the researcher's notes.
How similar!
(The researcher with the crazy crystal skull eyes?)
Lin An's head was suddenly startled, an incredible
The speculation suddenly appeared in his mind and disappeared in a flash.
If he remembered correctly, the reason why the researcher went crazy was similar to having a glimpse of reality! Is it possible!?
Wu Wei and Lin An have only now connected the ghost skull scene with the scene in the Black Domain. One is a place that can be entered at the first level, and the other is a mutated scene that cannot be solved at the fifth level!
However, before Lin An could subconsciously connect the two in his mind, the next second he saw Ander glance at him in surprise.
"It seems that you have been exposed to similar information."
"What are you thinking about in the Black Domain? Is it similar to here?"
In the middle of speaking, Ander noticed that Lin An's eyes turned cold, as if he was forcibly hiding his thoughts from him. Seeing this, he just shrugged and smiled slightly.
"Well, it seems that you really know some secrets about eyes. But it doesn't matter, there must be a huge gap between what I say next and what you know!"
"Lin An, just like the information you have been exposed to before. Human eyes are like foreign parasites. Not only does their structure completely violate the physiological structure, for example, the pictures that people see through their eyes are actually upside down. Usually, people need to
Only through secondary processing in the brain can we see the true appearance of the world. In terms of the immune system, we ourselves are also rejecting the eyes, as if the existence of the eyes does us no good and instead wants to destroy them."
"This is unreasonable. Behind all unreasonableness, there must be a real reason."
After a slight pause, Ander stretched out two fingers and said seriously
"Before I tell this story, you can think about it, or remember these two questions."
"The picture seen by 1's eyes is upside down. Why? What thing can turn the picture upside down?"
"2 Why vision is extremely important to us, and can even be called the key to human wisdom, but our bodies are afraid of it."
"In the photography studio, you can actually find an ancient book. This book was brought to him by the photographer's friend."
"You should have noticed that the photographer was suffering from the inability to take the photos he wanted. He always felt that the mechanical lens could not interpret the world in his eyes."
"And in that book, he saw such a story, and this was the reason why he dug out his eyes."
"As early as ancient times, people have wondered why we can see things. Countless sages and scholars have struggled to find the answer. Some people think that our eyes are like mirrors, so they reflect the pictures on their eyes."
"Some people think that it is divine revelation, that this is the ability given to us by God. These conclusions have their own contradictions, until one day, a scholar observed the Tyndall effect in his study, and he saw what light looked like in dust."
"Of course, people at that time didn't understand what light was, but a brand new hypothesis appeared in his mind."
"He excitedly announced to the people at the time that he knew why people could see things."
"Because human eyes emit "light" and emit a kind of ray called vision! Just like touching something with your hands, after the rays emitted by the human eye touch the object, you can naturally "feel" it.
What is it!"
"Different people's eyes emit different visual rays, so everyone's vision is different. If the eye is damaged and cannot emit light, you will not be able to see!"
"This theory is actually very close to the current theory of vision. Of course, this hypothesis has been overturned. People can see things because of the refraction of light, not because the human eye can emit detection rays. Just like when a person closes his eyes,
Even though the particles cannot be emitted out of sight, there is still a sense of light."
"But what I want to say is..."
"Perhaps this ancient and ignorant theory is correct."
