Time passed very quickly, and after Natty taught Lu Zhengkang all the insect characters he knew, he said that he would take him to a large gathering of insect repairers in a while.
The insect script is a mixed script, with a phonetic part and an ideographic part. The ideographic part is hieroglyphics, used to express natural things, and the phonetic part is used to express inner emotions, onomatopoeia, the state of things, and some
Other abstract content.
This resulted in the complexity of the Zhong writing system. Natty only learned the commonly used ones, and there were also many uncommon and advanced writings that needed to be taught by elders.
According to Nati, what Lu Zhengkang had learned was more than enough, and there was really no need to learn more, because he had learned many rare words before, but later completely forgot them because he had not used them for a long time.
Lu Zhengkang ignored Nati's nonsense and continued to practice jumping.
This house is not big. Based on Lu Zhengkang's current body length, it is only about ten of his diameter. Subtracting the area occupied by the furniture, the actual area that can be used for free movement is less than half. It is a rough rectangle with length and width
They are almost five of his body lengths.
So Lu Zhengkang jumped sideways, diagonally, in the middle, and on the side, thinking about geometric figures and imagining that he was the tip of a pen, painting wantonly in this small area.
Lu Zhengkang hasn’t enjoyed such childlike fun for a long time.
It's not that there is no chance. After all, when he was still a human being, he lived alone in a low-rent house and it was very convenient for him to do childish things.
It's just that when I grow up, I am less sensitive to childish fun, and secondly, I don't have the endless energy that I had when I was a child.
Now that we are in such a situation where there is a lack of entertainment and we are doing such boring exercises, if we don’t have the enthusiasm in our hearts and the courage to persevere, we will definitely not be able to last long.
Lu Zhengkang actually knows how to survive. He can choose to survive until the protagonist of the game solves the crisis. But at the same time, he realizes that life is a road with no retreat. In fact, he can only move forward bravely from the beginning.
, once he cowers, he will become timid and cowardly, succumb to the pressure of radiation, and become a walking zombie.
It is undoubtedly correct to constantly comfort and encourage yourself in adversity.
Sometimes being too smart is not as good as being single-minded, at least you won't fall into the abyss of self-doubt.
Natty came back to his senses and turned to look at Lu Zhengkang, who was jumping around the room and mumbling to himself. He couldn't help but scratch his head. This scene felt so familiar.
Natty had a strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't describe it. No matter what, he was very happy to see the little bug he raised so energetic.
When the deer is tired from dancing, he is ready to stop, drink some dew and eat some insect meat.
At this time, Nati came over with a small bag on his back, "Ah, little guy, do you want to go to the big rally? This rally is at the crossroads, very close. I will take you there, and let the elders wake you up too."
A name, you have grown up, it is time to have a name, I think it is time, do you need to take a rest? Or start now..."
Lu Zhengkang looked at the small bag Nati was carrying. It was a small bag made of soft leather with fine small scales on the surface. It looked very durable.
"Let's go. I'll go with you." Lu Zhengkang said concisely.
Natty yelled happily, and then handed Lu Zhengkang a glass of water. After he finished drinking it, he held his hand and went out together.
At this time, Lu Zhengkang left the hut for the first time.
The world outside is big.
The underground world of insects is not cramped. It seems to be a kingdom built on the basis of underground caves. Large pieces of hard rock are piled up to form a flat road, surrounded by a cluster of huts, which are as far as the eye can see. Most of them are abandoned.
Above the head are sparse stone cones, growing downward from the bottom of the upper platform.
The underground world is layered, and this is almost the deepest level of the crossroads.
There are many road signs on the main roads for decoration. There is a street lamp at a distance, which shines brightly and has thin insects flying around the light bulb.
There are sparse grasses on the roadside. These tough plants have pale branches and leaves, and they seem to have adapted to the low-light environment underground.
Lu Zhengkang noticed that the stones paving the ground and even the huge rocks around the underground caves were carved into spiral shell-like boulders, which seemed to be a unique decorative style left by the insects that originally built the crossroads.
The low-light environment underground did not cause trouble to the bugs, and they could still see the road clearly.
Natty and Lu Zhengkang walked through this large group of round houses.
The roads to Hallownest are open in all directions, but the roads chosen by the maintenance bugs are even more deep and secretive.
Lu Zhengkang soon came to an area that had never been touched in the game.
After walking out of the huge group of round houses, we rested for a while and continued on the road.
From time to time, Nati took out a water bottle made of carapace from his bag and asked Lu Zhengkang to replenish his water. Every time he walked for a while, he asked Lu Zhengkang if he was tired.
Indeed, Natty took very good care of Lu Zhengkang.
This journey was longer than expected.
Natty took Lu Zhengkang around a long way, avoiding many insect territories, and came to a very remote place.
There are collapsed and broken stone pillars everywhere, and the ground is no longer piled with stones, but with large stone slabs, and there are still many carvings that have not been erased by the wind and sand.
The maintenance bugs set up a small market here, with many temporary sheds gathered together, giving the small group of people a lively scene. Everyone gathered together to eat, drink, and chat.
Maintenance bugs are not businessmen or adventurers, so these small sheds that can be seen everywhere are not small shops, but more like small parlors, places for communicating feelings.
When Natty brought Lu Zhengkang, there was a small cheer.
Every maintenance bug expressed their love for Lu Zhengkang, which made Lu Zhengkang feel very comfortable and warm.
Lu Zhengkang noticed that there are actually subspecies of maintenance bugs. Some maintenance bugs have a pair of wings, and they don't know whether they can fly fast. But he expressed doubts that such small wings can really support the weight of the entire body.
Soon, Lu Zhengkang met the seniors of the tribe.
Three elders came to this meeting.
They were really old. When Lu Zhengkang saw them, he even doubted whether they were insect fossils, because they were motionless, and their carapace was covered with thick wind and sand, which had condensed into blocks and turned into another layer of carapace.
.
The elders live in the most exquisite tents, but the tents feel not like residences but like museums. These three old men are just like the unearthed cultural relics that Lu Zhengkang once saw, giving people a sense of distance and inaccessibility.
"Ah" the one in the middle let out a long breath, looking very tired, "there is one more member of the tribe, very good, Nati."
Nati was extremely excited at this time, just like a little fan of a star, but he was very restrained. The whole insect was like a tightened spring. Lu Zhengkang suspected that Nati would be like a real spring in the next second.
Jumping around in the tent.
"Little guy, have you learned how to write?" the old man on the left asked, his voice was very dull.
"I learned some commonly used ones, but I still want to know more."
The old insect on the right is female, but she is too old to recognize the kindness of the old woman. She had been in a daze just now, but suddenly came back to her senses and said to Lu Zhengkang in a praising tone: "Okay! Okay,
It is good to learn more, learn more, but it is a pity that the teacher is no longer here..." As she said that, she fell into her own memories.
The old bug in the middle said to Nati: "Nati, you can go out. We have to give instructions to this child."
Chapter completed!
