Looking at the high-spirited Lao Yang, Li Liang suddenly remembered that when he sneaked into Zhenjie Fort and a bunch of rabble crawled out of the reservoir in confusion, this amateur doctor who was inexplicably pulled into the team by Cain said, "I'm alive." More than 30 years, it’s bullshit, maybe he died in a corner without knowing when, so what’s the point.”
At that time, Lao Yang could only accept his fate, and his expression showed helplessness and despair that he might not die. But at this moment, Lao Yang was the one who had come the furthest among hundreds of millions of human beings.
Who says little people are destined to waste their lives? Every small step Lao Yang takes is a giant step for mankind.
Withdrawing his gaze, Li Liang looked up at the columnar "star map" again, as if he saw an infinitely vast and extremely beautiful world.
Such a world should not lack the presence of human beings.
At this time.
Siexie's voice rang in his ears. Li Liang was stunned for a moment before putting on his earphones. He only heard the Pangbotan man say: "Don't worry, Li Liang, we chose the fastest route. We can get there as soon as the time increases." Makosik, now, eat.”
"Thank you," Li Liang nodded, but found that Lao Yang looked helpless after hearing the news. He suddenly had a bad feeling and whispered, "How long does it take to rise? Is it very long? "
Liya smiled: "Dear Li Liang, one rise is equal to approximately 24 hours."
24 hours? Li Liang glanced at the "star map". The marked flight route passed through at least dozens of jump points, and 24 hours was completely acceptable. He was a little confused, what was Lao Yang worried about?
Before he could ask in detail, Siexie greeted him again. He could only pat Lao Yang on the back, and they followed the Pangbotans out of the control cabin. They walked along the dirty main passage for more than ten minutes and turned around. Entered a slightly brighter cabin.
Judging from the layout, this should be a restaurant. There is a long table and more than ten chairs in the center of the floor.
Sieshe took his seat calmly and very considerately indicated that humans could sit directly on the table.
Li Liang declined the kindness of the Pangbotan people and chose to stand on the chair, because sitting on the giant's table was too much like a dish.
Since it is the smallest type of ship, it naturally does not have a chef. Several Pombotans who came to eat together stood in front of the boiler-like equipment, clicking a bunch of buttons and waiting lazily. They were probably waiting for the machine to produce semi-finished products. Types of marching rations.
Li Liang found that after taking off the power combat armor, the Pangbotan people also had a very life-like demeanor. These burly men had long hands and short legs. They looked a bit lazy when they relaxed. They all had big noses and thick eyebrows. Looks very honest.
The "boiler" buzzed, and for a moment, a strong aroma of meat came out.
It turns out that there is still meat to eat. It seems that the food of the Terranza infantry is quite good.
However, when Lao Yang smelled this smell, he changed from having no love in life to a life worse than death.
Li Liang sniffed, yes, it was meat, and it was especially like steak, with a milky smell made from fried fat.
Boom.
With a muffled sound, the "boiler" cover opened automatically.
Siese laughed: "Sidon, give it to our human friends first!"
"Thank you," Li Liang smiled and nodded. He turned around and was stunned when he saw what Xiton brought.
On the plate was a beetle the size of a washbasin, which looked a lot like a ladybug. Its round back was burnt, and its belly was exposed with green flesh. Its eight shelled legs stood out, as if it was not completely dead and was still there. Twitching slightly.
He slowly turned around and asked Lao Yang, "What is this?"
Lao Yang didn't even look at it. He turned his face and stroked his forehead. His facial features were all squeezed together: "My mother, I knew it was this thing."
Boom.
Sidon placed the plate in front of Li Liang, took out a small glass bottle from his pants pocket, unscrewed it and sprinkled some flesh-colored powder on the belly of the beetle. He smiled and showed his three front teeth: "This is the unique seasoning of the Sidon family. My wife made it for me.”
Li Liang looked at the beetle, then at the bottle in Sidon's hand, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said reluctantly: "Thank you."
"Let's eat," Siexie held the spoon and smashed it twice on the table with the handle of the spoon, "Pan tart!"
"Pang tart!"
Several Pangbotan people sat down, and the plates in front of each of them were piled with beetles. They put them into their mouths with a spoon, crunching without spitting out the shells, just like eating fried rice. I would get a few extra plates of thick red paste and mix it with beetles to eat.
Seton's exclusive condiments are the most popular, and almost every Pombotanian will try to sprinkle some on them.
Li Liang looked down at the steaming beetle and swallowed.
“Honorable Li Liang, it doesn’t taste good when it’s cold,” Leah said with a smile. “This Siamese-backed beetle is rich in protein, fat, and a variety of trace elements needed by the human body. Its taste is close to that of arthropod crustaceans on the earth. , such as lobster and swimming crab.”
Li Liang silently pushed the plate in front of Lao Yang: "I've been a little angry lately, and the doctor told me to eat lighter."
Lao Yang muttered with a bitter face: "This is not bad. Sometimes it is only roasted to medium rare, and I don't know how Wang Chao eats it."
Medium rare... Is this something a human can do?
Half an hour later.
In the main control cabin, the well-fed Pangbotan people sat or stood around the console. Everyone continued chatting with a drink in their hands, and bursts of laughter broke out from time to time.
I went to the earth and thought that the goblins had far-reaching plans, but I didn’t expect to learn the truth from Li Liang. It was just the goblins repeating their old tricks again, trying to turn the human physical world into a spiritual core mine. These people who have been fighting insects on the battlefield all year round The veterans who fought in groups were accustomed to this kind of thing. Although they were willing to continue to help humans and fulfill their promises to Lao Yang, it was unrealistic for them to remain nervous.
In the corner, two humans and a robot sat on the floor in the shadow of some large device.
Facing a roasted beetle, Li Liang finally couldn't eat it. Fortunately, Lao Yang had some normal dry food in his backpack. It was a kind of biscuit baked by Ta Xing people. It tasted like naan and was very chewy. , In addition, there was a huge metal cup placed next to him, which contained a drink made by the Pangbotan people. It was a red and transparent liquid that was very thick and would hang when shaken.
According to Leah, there is no alcohol in it, but a compound that is not found on the earth. It can also excite the human central nervous system, but when it subsequently inhibits the central nervous system, it is not as effective as alcohol.
To put it simply, it is a kind of wine that is refreshing and not easy to get drunk. It tastes like white wine with salt added.
Li Liang and Lao Yang drank from the cups with spoons. After a few spoonfuls, Lao Yang asked in a low voice: "Seriously, brother, what are you looking for in Makosik? Come to the end, I will too." I’ll help you think about it.”
Li Liang was not surprised that Lao Yang would doubt his statement. He knew it when he heard this guy shout about "the most beloved twin gods" before.
Lao Yang has always been a smart man. He has been wandering in the spiritual world for three years. He must know many things better than Siexie. He has no idea about the nonsense about fairies bewitching the "Twin Gods" and magic sensing the Emperor Haotian. You will believe that you are just cooperating with him in acting in front of the Pangbotan people.
However, this was not outdoors after all, so he glanced in the direction of the console.
"Hey, it's okay," Lao Yang smiled. "The people in the alliance who use their brains are mainly the Terranza people. The Pangbotan people don't have any devious ideas. They don't know how to eavesdrop or monitor."
Li Liang took a sip of wine and said, "I really want to go to the Hidden Tower to find the high priest of the God of Penance."
Lao Yang did not ask further questions and nodded: "We will go to the visitor center then and we can easily find out the exact location."
"Well," Li Liang said casually, "How do you know Sieye Xie?"
"Tsk, of course it relies on medical skills." Old Yang's cheeks turned red after drinking a few spoonfuls of wine. "Didn't you see the last communication? Tsk, our banner can hardly be hung anymore."
"A master of men's medicine?" Li Liang smiled and asked, "Pangbotans also need it?"
A five-meter-tall giant who is circumcised cannot use a chainsaw?
Lao Yang leaned on the wine glass and shook the spoon: "Of course, the Pangbotan people are very magical. The men are four or five meters tall, but the women are only two meters tall. Some are almost as tall as humans. It seems because... because What's going on?"
"Differences in body size occur under the same gravity conditions because of differences in bone and muscle density," Leah explains.
"Ah, yes, then, if you think about it, if the lock is small, how big can the key be?" Lao Yang hummed.
Li Liang couldn't laugh or cry: "Their biotechnology is not as good as your craftsmanship?"
"The Pangbotan people's biotechnology is particularly bad, really, because they don't get sick at all, and they are very traditional, monogamous, and only want to have natural children." Old Yang said with drunken eyes, "Of course, they have caught up. , we just happened to ride on the same sea-wading beast, back and forth..."
Lao Yang seemed to be drunk. He lowered his head mid-sentence and murmured: "No one thought you would jump out of the car at that time... In fact, the rest of us couldn't go back. Going back would be a death. Follow us." You might still have a way to survive, but I didn't expect you to jump out of the car...
When we woke up, Leah had already driven the armored vehicle out of the Brake Mist Realm. She said that you jumped out of the vehicle in order to let us survive, because as long as you are in the vehicle, Netherworld will keep chasing you, and the vehicle will soon die, sooner or later. Let's all die together...
Later, that idiot Tata finally remembered where the jump point was. When we realized that we could survive, we discussed it. If one day you show up alive, we must pay the debt... Whoa, whoa, anyway. Still on.
Later, we lived in Tower Star most of the time. It was a shabby place, with more than a dozen clans fighting endlessly. Fortunately, the spiritual gate of Tower Star was controlled by Terenza. , the business is going well. We often go to the anchor space to wander around, and see all kinds of creatures. There are really all kinds of things. At first, we were curious, but then we just became that.
It's not that I haven't thought about going back, because there are often quarrels about this matter, but how to go back? Can the Xi'an people in Zhenjie Fort let us go?
Sometimes I think, if you are alive, you are the only one who knows about our existence. If you die, no one will know about us. One day we will die when we die. "
Having said this, Lao Yang opened his eyes as if remembering something: "By the way, Thunder Dog and Silly Big Guy went to Du Yujing. Let's go and find them first."
Li Liang lowered his eyes, remained silent for a long time, and whispered: "Do you know who the invisible man was who transmitted my message to you at Zhenjie Fort?"
"I don't know, a consultant?"
"No, it's a Yodel named Timo," Li Liang raised his eyes, "The reason why he came to Earth is to fulfill a human's dying wish and go home."
Lao Yang wondered: "Are there other human beings besides us in the spiritual world?"
Leah's face switched to a sad expression: "Mr. Yang, based on the context, the implicit meaning expressed by the distinguished Li Liang is that the Thunder Dog and the Silly Man have passed away."
"Oh," Lao Yang blinked, "How did you die?"
"Teemo said the goblins hired bounty hunters."
Lao Yang stared blankly at the empty space, remembering something, smiled, and then burst into tears.
In the dark corner of this alien spacecraft, there was only a whimper that was desperately suppressed but to no avail.
