Chapter 9 The Prophet
Chapter 9 The Prophet
Wu Xu walked quietly on the boundless yellow sand alone, his eyes were no longer as clear and calm as before, but instead he looked into the distance with confusion and hesitation.His empty right arm speaks of the trials he has experienced, but now he doesn't know where to go-oh, maybe he knows.But 100 years later, even humans don't know whether they still exist, so what's the use of looking for that unreliable prophet?Wu Xu didn't know.
But he finally decided to believe the words of the future.
Not because the future is the highest-tech artificial intelligence of human beings, nor because the first basic program in the future program is to be loyal to human beings, but because he doesn't know, what else can he do if he doesn't look for the prophet?
He is the captain of the tenth team, but now I don't know how many other players there are.He has a machine that can change the structure of atoms, and he can use it to produce food and water indefinitely so that he can live his life without any worries, but what's the point of living like this?
Nobody knows.
So he finally came to the abrupt stone mountain again, looking at the same scene as 100 years ago, he remembered when his team first set off, who was not full of fighting spirit?But now?well……
Wu Xu walked slowly to the stone mountain, but this time there were no elite soldiers behind him, nor was there any prophet who came out to greet him.
He slowly walked towards the stone cave where the prophet came out, but before he reached the cave, a young man dressed in rags and dirty came out. He was not surprised when he saw him, and he was not even surprised. There was a wave of waves, just as if seeing an old friend, he greeted with the same kindness as before: "Would you like to come in and sit?"
Different from the calmness of the Prophet, Wu Xu's heart can be described as turbulent. He was a little surprised, and even pointed at the Prophet in horror and shouted: "Why do you—"
The Prophet interrupted him with a smile and waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the cave first, and said as he walked, "Come in with me, you will know everything."
Wu Xu stood there and thought for a moment, then followed the prophet to the cave.
Different from the cold, hard and dirty ones he had imagined, to his surprise, the cave walls were inlaid with bright night pearls, emitting a harmonious brilliance, illuminating the dark cave, and the feet were not stones. Instead, it was covered with a thick layer of fur of an unknown animal. Wu Xu stood there for a moment at a loss, took off his shoes and put them outside before slowly walking inward.The innermost part of the cave is a stone bed covered with several layers of furs of unknown animals, but it looks more precious and more comfortable.And the direction facing the bed is a rotating staircase leading to the top, I don't know what the mystery is.
After Wu Xu looked around this amazing and comfortable environment, he looked at the Prophet, only to realize that the Prophet was no longer wearing the tattered clothes, nor was he dirty. Which dynasty's style of Chinese ancient clothing is full of elegance and chic.
Wu Xu stared at the sly smile on the prophet's face, and opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
The Prophet seemed to understand Wu Xu's thoughts, and took the initiative to explain: "I just don't want others to know what I look like here, so there are high-tech products in my clothes, as long as they touch the sun, they will automatically give me Change your appearance. In this way, after so many years, no one has ever come to my cave."
"These things..." Wu Xu looked at the fur that looked very comfortable at first glance, then moved his feet and felt the softness under his feet that made him almost lazy, and asked a little puzzled.
The Prophet turned around, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, the fur collapsed together, the soft comfort was even enviable.He smiled and said, "After all, I am the closest person on this planet to this planet."
Wu Xu looked at the Prophet who looked like he was waiting for him to ask a question. He just wanted to ask a question, but found that there were too many things he wanted to ask, and he couldn't ask anything for a while.
The prophet looked at him with a smile and said, "Sit down first."
Wu Xu saw that the surrounding area was empty and only the bed under the prophet's buttocks could sit on. After thinking for a while, he simply sat down on the floor covered with blankets. He was so comfortable that he didn't want to move.
The Prophet looked at Wu Xu who was squinting his eyes with some amusement, and finally said: "First of all, I am still so young because of the gift of the earth. As long as the earth still exists, I can live forever."
Wu Xu looked at the Prophet with incredulous eyes, but didn't speak - for him now, eternal life has no meaning.
"Secondly, human beings are indeed almost extinct." The prophet rubbed the bed under his hands, and said, "In this world, including you and me, there are no more than ten people alive. This is the earth. Give me the data."
Wu Xu's eyes were instantly stained with disbelief, and then replaced by strong sadness.
The Prophet looked at Wu Xu, who was about to cry, his eyes were wide open, he smiled slightly and said, "Then, I have two people here, you must really want to see them."
Wu Xu's expression suddenly froze. He felt that he had almost guessed who the two people the prophet mentioned were. He excitedly raised his head and said eagerly to the prophet, "My lord prophet!"
The Prophet stood up, looked fondly at the young man in front of him who showed a childishness that had never been seen before, turned around and took the lead and walked up the stairs to the upper floor.
Wu Xu turned around and was a little surprised to find that even the stairs were covered with a thick layer of blankets!But his eagerness to meet people made him ignore this at all, and hurriedly followed the prophet's footsteps to go upstairs.
The overall attire upstairs is similar to that downstairs, the difference is that there are three beds upstairs, and at this time there are people lying on two of the beds, one has brilliant blond hair and handsome eyebrows, the other has chestnut messy hair and eyebrows Wrinkled tightly, even in sleep, there is something tangled in his heart.
"Sabienti, Laurentius." Looking at the two sleeping soundly, Wu Xu finally showed his first real smile since he fell into the crack.
"Well, I told you that you will definitely want to see them." The Prophet stood aside and looked at Wu Xu's unscrupulous gaze directly at Sabienti and teased, "But you have been like this all the time." He'll be jealous to look at your little sweetheart instead of another."
Wu Xu blushed a little at a loss when he heard the prophet's words—for some reason, when he entered this place, he unconsciously took off all his disguises and showed his truest self.Perhaps this is the charm of being aligned with the earth.
"Welcome them." The Prophet waved his hands to the two sleeping on the bed. Groups of blue light spots floated out from their bodies, and then circled playfully around the Prophet's raised right hand, and then Only then slowly dissipated in the air.
But Wu Xu didn't pay attention to this miraculous scene—maybe he didn't even notice this scene at all, all his eyes were focused on Sabienti's gradually soothing eyebrows.
"Hmm..." Following Sabienti's and Laurentius' thumping in unison, a pair of gray eyes and a pair of emerald green eyes opened their eyes again after a lapse of 100 years.
