A single creature is small and fragile, but when the power of one tiny creature after another overlaps, some laws can only make way for it.
Red seaweed grows crazily in every corner of the vast ocean. For a long time, if you looked at the earth from the universe, the entire earth was like a gray lead ball soaked in blood. But now, the lead color remains the same, and
Red has become fragmented.
Relying on the radiation in the seawater as nutrients, the red algae is still growing rapidly every moment, but some invisible devourers convert it into their own food at a speed that far exceeds their growth. Although it is difficult to see with the naked eye,
But the ratio of red to blue is indeed increasing day by day, and one day, this sea will return to its former color again.
But now, red still has strong control over this ocean. Except for the microorganisms that feed on them, almost all marine life must avoid their territory with fear.
Even after its life cycle ends and is pushed away from the ocean by waves, red seaweed still has the same deterrent effect on creatures on the ground. To be precise, this deterrent effect is hundreds of times more powerful than when it is in the ocean.
Radiation is the nourishment for their growth, and it is also the disaster left in this world after their death.
Red algae are gathered on the beach. After being exposed to the scorching sun, they will become piles of natural strong radiation sources. When they gather enough, when night comes, you can even see them emitting a dense liquid-like density.
Thick green light - this is the color of super strong radiation. Wherever this color appears, even a mouse with strong radiation resistance will rot and die within a few minutes.
But on this beach where life is forbidden, a figure that is too perfect to be true is strolling slowly with snow-white feet on the pure beach that only has two colors: gold and red. It seems that this is just a beach suitable for leisure and vacation.
It's an ordinary beach, and she is a carefree girl who comes here to enjoy a moment of peace.
The gentle breeze caressed her, her purple hair fluttered, as if the thread of fate had been disturbed by the laws of nature from its originally peaceful trajectory. The girl, who was enjoying the calmness in front of her with all her heart, raised her head slightly because of the sudden wind, and looked at the gray sky.
At a certain point, after a while, I felt that the breeze was not worth paying attention to, so I returned to enjoying the calmness in front of me.
What once again called the girl back from her calm state was another breeze, a breeze brought about by the vibration of the air.
Looking to the other side away from the sea, on a rock a few kilometers away, a girl with thick fish-scale scabs on her face was shouting loudly towards here.
There were only her and the girl within a few kilometers, so these calls could only be made to the girl. The girl's voice was already inaudible after being heard a hundred meters away, but she didn't seem to worry that the girl wouldn't be able to hear her.
cry.
The girl turned her head and looked at the sea again, and her figure disappeared instantly. When she reappeared, she was already beside the girl several kilometers away, and in her hand was a strange fish more than one meter long.
The girl cheered and happily dragged the strange fish into the cave behind her.
This cave is not deep, but it is very large. There is a seven or eight-meter hole at the top of the cave. After the sunlight enters here, it is refracted by a nearly twenty-meter-diameter water pool below, so most of the cave is reflected with sparkling light.
.
Tom——
The girl threw the strange fish into the pool. With this one, there were already more than ten strange fish in the pool.
Three or four meters away from the water pool, the yellow flame of the solid fuel basket was roasting two palm-sized pieces of fish meat. The tangy aroma and the slight leakage of oil showed that it was now in the best state for eating.
"Sister Qiu Yan, try it quickly. I am becoming more and more confident in my craftsmanship."
The girl turned off the fuel stove and handed a slightly larger piece of fish meat to Qiu Yan.
After seeing Qiu Yan take a bite, the girl asked expectantly, "How was it?"
Qiu Yan chewed carefully, trying to collect the most accurate answer to this question. After more than ten seconds, he replied, "It's delicious."
The fish-like scabs on her face prevented the girl from smiling, but the slightly raised corners of her mouth were enough to show that this was the answer she was looking forward to, so she took another step towards what she expected, "It's better than you have ever eaten before."
Is everything delicious?"
"No." Qiu Yan answered almost without thinking.
The girl lowered her head in frustration, but after getting along with her for a few days, she already understood that this powerful sister could neither lie nor joke, so she filled up her expectations after a few seconds.
"Then what is the most delicious thing you have ever eaten? I will cook it for you in the future."
Salt, MSG, pepper...these rare seasonings are all within easy reach, so the girl's confidence is not completely unfounded.
This question made Qiu Yan stop eating completely. He tilted his head and thought seriously. After a long time, he shook his head gently and said, "I can't remember."
The girl timidly said, "Don't you have any memories of the past?"
"I have retained most of my memories. It's just because I've eaten so many things that it's hard to find out what's the best."
The girl was unwilling to give up. After thinking hard for a moment, she frowned and said suddenly, "Then what do you want to eat but haven't eaten before?"
Qiu Yan once again answered without thinking, "No, I have eaten everything that is edible and that I am willing to eat." After a pause, as if he knew what the girl was going to ask next, Qiu Yan continued.
, "Not only food, but also any place or anything, as long as I am willing, I have been to them all and done them all."
Seeing the loss and uneasiness in the girl's eyes, Qiu Yan showed a smile that instantly made the girl completely forget all other negative emotions due to intoxication, "Actually, I envy you very much. There are too many unknowns in the universe waiting for you to go.
I found that I used to be so excited that I couldn’t sleep just thinking about these things. If possible, I would rather forget everything and experience the exploration of the unknown again.”
Qiu Yan's words are difficult for the girl to understand and not understand. Moreover, the girl only cares about...
"Let's go east. Since you can get along happily with me, it will be easy to blend in with other people."
Qiu Yan's sudden words made the girl panic, "Are you leaving? Then take me with you."
The girl's mind has always been very simple. In her opinion, being able to eat is the most important thing, followed by eating delicious food. So when she was around Qiu Yan, she felt at ease for the first time, and planned to use delicious food to
The food keeps Qiu Yan by his side.
Seasonings and food are precious, so in order to gain experience in making things, she always uses the most time-consuming method, increasing the heat and seasonings little by little. In order to accurately complete each production, she always endures the burning pain
She used her hands to operate on the flame. In order not to be called a waste by Qiu Yan, every time she failed to make the unpalatable part, she would always try to eat it by herself... But even so, her little wish could not be realized in the end.
ah……
Qiu Yan smiled again, but it was different from the previous smile. This time the smile made the girl feel an inexplicable heart-wrenching pain, "You don't want to leave me just because you have been alone for too long. Try to take the initiative to leave."
When I meet other people, I will always find someone easier to get along with than me."
"No." The girl said stubbornly, "I just want to be with you again. If you don't take me away, I would rather continue to be alone."
"Don't say willful words." Qiu Yan put the mask back on his face, "I'll tell you a story. There once was a fool who said the same thing as you, and as a result, he really entered almost eternal loneliness... This story
Interesting, right?"
The girl could no longer see Qiu Yan's current expression, but just something in Qiu Yan's tone made his eyes feel a little uncomfortable.
"Nearly eternal loneliness...how long?" The girl asked this question uncontrollably.
"Well... let me think about it, it's probably like this." Qiu Yan picked up a fish scale the size of a little finger from the ground, "You use this fish scale to fill up a scale of water in the sea in front of you every year. When you put the water in the sea
After all the water is scooped out a thousand times, a grain of fine sand can be taken from this hole. When this place becomes as wide as the sea, in that almost eternity, the second hand of time moves forward one frame.
.”
The girl wiped the liquid that ran out of the corner of her eyes in confusion. She couldn't imagine how long it was. But because she couldn't even imagine, she felt the length of time even more. "That person is really a fool. He
Haven’t you thought about going over there for so long to take a peek at other people?”
"It can't be done. What he experiences is true loneliness, not being with the same kind of people, but loneliness that is separated from everything. There, the space is endlessly vast, but nothing exists. So, even if
There is absolutely no way to see what you want to see.”
The girl suddenly just grabbed the corner of Qiu Yan's clothes and said, "That person... isn't you."
"of course not."
"Then...is that person important to you?"
Qiu Yan fell silent again. After a long time, he hesitated and said, "I don't know, I... need confirmation."
"Then...have you found that person now?"
"I don't know, this needs to be confirmed."
"Then...are you going to go to the person who needs to be confirmed?"
"Yes, I don't know if one day I will fall into eternal loneliness, so I must seize the time to do everything I want to do." Qiu Yan gently stroked the girl's prickly hair, "These days
Being with you peacefully is one of the things I want to do most. Now this wish has come true, so..."
"So we must seize the time to realize other wishes, right?" The girl let go of Qiu Yan's clothes.
"Getting along with people is a very happy thing. Go east, there are countless people worth getting to know and unknown things worth exploring." Although he could leave the cave in an instant, Qiu Yan chose to walk.
.
"Let me help you too, help you find that person who may be very important to you." The liquid in the corner of the girl's eyes was still bubbling out, "Can you tell me how to separate him from other people?"
Is it open?"
Qiu Yan stopped at the entrance of the cave, "I don't know, but I think that after experiencing a long period of loneliness, he will now be more afraid of not being able to see other people in his field of vision than the final thing like death..."
The moment the girl stepped out of the cave, she entered a world that the girl could never understand and could never reach.
Through the sparkling light, the girl's eyes scanned everything left behind by Qiu Yan, including a fuel stove, a spice box, a stack of space quilts, and a large bag stuffed with countless treasures, all of which were wiped away.
The hope of leaving the dust behind, a road to the future with clear road signs...
