Chapter 112 One Person’s Planet (7)

With a guide, Yu Di traveled much faster. She didn't have to stop to confirm the direction, and she didn't have to be alert to all unusual movements.

The terrain has obviously begun to slope and is no longer as flat as before. Now if they take a few steps, they may find potholes covered by weeds lying under their feet.

The wooden stick used to explore the path played a big role in helping Yu Di avoid sprained feet many times.

On such a road, the coffin was bumpy and difficult to drag, so the birdman simply carried it on his shoulders.

As he walked, the birdman stopped and spread his wings, as if he was feeling something.

"What's wrong?"

"Water." Birdman pointed to the sky.

Huh? Is it going to rain? Yu Di looked up at the sky, and there was no sign of cumulonimbus clouds.

Birdman insisted on his idea, while Yu Di followed the good advice.

Before evening, they found a shallow small cave. The smell inside was terrible, but it could at least keep out the rain.

It was getting dark, so Yu Di lit a fire in the cave, placed some fresh leaves on it, used the smoke to drive away most of the insects, and also cover up some of the smelly moisture in the cave.

It has to be said that Birdman is really keen. The air humidity at this moment is so high that even Yu Di can feel the difference.

After the darkness completely took over the jungle, the first muffled thunder finally struck.

In less than five minutes, the entrance to their cave seemed to be covered with a curtain of water.

Yu Di quickly used the dented coffin fragments to catch the rainwater, and even washed his hair and face for a while.

Birdman, on the other hand, rushed directly into the downpour and washed himself clean before returning to the cave, shaking off the water from his body, and sitting cross-legged by the fire.

The metal bowl was placed on the fire, and tiny bubbles gradually emerged. Birdman counted the bubbles with great interest, playing with his lighter in his hand, and accidentally almost burned the down on his chest.

The sound of rain hitting the leaves and the crackling of the fire are the best sounds to help you sleep.

The small cave was isolated by the rain and became an independent territory. Yu Di was wrapped in parachute cloth and lying in the coffin, planning to take a nap first.

In an extremely relaxed situation, Yu Di's consciousness drifted involuntarily to the sea of ​​consciousness.

That memory from the first-person perspective is playing back vaguely.

The angle of view in my memory is very low, and the center of the field of view is mostly from the abdomen to the thighs of an adult.

People in white uniforms came in and out, seemingly accustomed to the presence of observers.

Only one woman stopped in front of the hospital bed and stretched out her hand to the memory owner.

There was a red rope tied around her wrist, and at the end of the red rope was a wooden dragon-shaped decoration the size of a fingernail.

Suddenly, the hand clamped around the neck of the memory owner. The memory owner could not struggle, and his vision became blurry.

In the darkness, she vaguely heard someone talking.

"I'm sorry, but your daughter...it's better to prepare early. After all, our space station has limited resources."

Suddenly there was a slight sting on his cheek, and Yu Di woke up in a daze, squeezing the bug that bit him to death.

The rain stopped, and Birdman was curled up close to the outside of the cave, sleeping soundly. Yu Di sat up, silently playing with the same sleepy fire, and added a few twigs to it.

The voice in the dream sounded somewhat familiar.

Inexplicable irritability pounded in Yu Di's chest, and she didn't want to stay in this jungle for a moment.

She must find a way to find the space station's launch pad.

The first bird song in the morning wakes up the sky. Yudi puts out the fire, packs up the parachute cloth, and wakes up the birdman.

Hungry, the birdman didn't want to trek, so he walked slowly in the jungle and picked some fruits.

The terrain became steeper and steeper, but the singing of the river became clearer and clearer. The birdman took the Yudi around, taking the safest route.

The scorching sun at noon did not stop their footsteps. When they saw the river, the sparkling waves shone brighter than the stars. Yu Di had to squint his eyes to see the river clearly.

gray.

These rushing, gray river waters roar toward the southwest, emitting an indescribable fishy smell.

The birdman didn't seem to want to get close to the river, so he just stood far away and then stopped.

Yu Di wanted to walk towards the river, but he held his forearm: "You can't drink."

The birdman stuck out his tongue and made a death expression.

The river water is not drinkable? Yu Di suddenly thought of the red and green ocean on this planet. Is it polluted?

She promised the birdman that she would not drink the water from the river, and the birdman let her go, while he watched from a distance.

It had just rained and the water level was relatively high. The rocks by the river were covered with moss and were extremely slippery.

These moss are not all familiar to Yu Di, but are black and purple, like ecchymosis, growing on the small river beach.

If you slip in a place like this, you'll probably hit a hole in your head.

Yu Di was extremely careful, leaned down little by little, and took a small handful of river water from a bowl.

Visible to the naked eye, there are patches of unknown algae floating in the river water. Their cell structures are extremely large and can be clearly seen by the naked eye when facing the sun.

In addition to these vicious-looking algae, there are no fewer than five or six species of small insects living in just a small handful of river water.

The appearance of these insects is very confusing...they all have wings, but they are all different.

The largest one among them is almost the same size as an ordinary Aedes mosquito. But it has no wings and instead has three pairs of long, fan-like legs.

The smallest one is not much larger than an algae cell. Instead, it has thin wings with long ellipses that become pointed at both ends, like a dragonfly.

There is only so much that can be seen, let alone the invisible. If water of this texture were looked at under a microscope, it would take a long time to register even photobacteria.

This is a fast-flowing river! It is so "dirty", no wonder the smell is so strong.

Yu Di had no choice but to pour it out.

"Walk?"

Birdman watched with relief as Yu Di turned back and looked at her questioningly, as if asking where to go next.

Yu Di looked twice and pointed in the upstream direction: "Let's go."

At first, Yu Di's idea was to find the ocean. When she looked down from a high altitude, the most obviously abnormal thing she saw was the ocean.

But now, regardless of the hodgepodge of gene pools in this jungle, the river looks like this, and the problem must be upstream.

Thinking of this, the long-hidden questions in Yu Di's heart couldn't help but overflow.

Is it really just because of different evolutionary trees that the animals on this planet look so unique?

She looked at the birdman's wings that spread out from time to time behind him to maintain balance.

It seems that all species have certain characteristics that are familiar to Yu Di, but when mixed together, they become completely different.

The nuclear war a hundred years ago... Yu Di came up with an extremely incredible guess.

Could it be that there is something wrong with reproductive isolation?

There are horse-faced rabbits, pig-headed foxes, long-snouted black-striped weasels, and bird-men.

A mess of traits appearing in one species at the same time, if it hadn't been like this since ancient times...

Yu Di felt that he seemed to have touched a corner of the truth.
