Chapter 408 A Mistake
Slurp... Slurp...
In his hazy mind, a strange sound echoed in Leisen's ears.
He felt his chaotic thoughts were waking up again, and his lost senses were gradually returning. Then, he heard a strange, indescribable sound, which sounded a bit like sobbing, as if the person was crying very sadly.
Then, an extremely tempting aroma wafted into his nostrils, causing him to subconsciously swallow.
"Oh, you're awake?"
Leisen: ! ! ?
The unfamiliar voice instantly made Leisen's heart leap into his throat.
At the same time, his muscle memory made his body tense up. But soon, he felt the binding force coming from outside his body. Without a doubt, he had been tied up by the other party.
Now that he had been discovered, there was no point in pretending anymore. Leisen slowly opened his eyes and calmly looked at the two strangers sitting by the campfire not far away, slurping noodles.
His confused thoughts raced back to normal, and the memories he had left before losing consciousness returned to his mind. He only remembered that he was suddenly attacked, and strangely enough, he did not notice anything, nor did he even notice how the other party attacked.
Seeing the burly man who, after waking up, neither made a scene nor showed anger, but instead remained calm, Tang Zijun's face showed a hint of interest.
"Don't misunderstand, we didn't mean any harm by kidnapping you. It's just for our own safety. After all, this place is dangerous, and we're worried about being attacked."
"6
'
Leisen didn't respond, but glanced sideways and saw his laser gun, which was casually leaning against the wall, and the package that was carelessly discarded under the gun.
Then, a strange look appeared in his eyes.
He wasn't surprised that everything in his backpack had been rummaged through; after all, it was impossible for the two men who had kidnapped him not to take some loot. What he didn't understand was that the most valuable item in there was the gun, but judging from their manner, it seemed as if they treated it like trash.
On the contrary, it seemed that their own map was regarded as a treasure by the other party.
Noticing the other person's gaze, Tang Zijun knew he was looking at the gun.
"Don't worry, I just want to know some things about this place. Once I know what I need to know, I'll return your weapon to you. That thing is useless to us."
Hearing Tang Zijun's words, Lei Sen turned his attention back to Tang Zijun.
At the same time, he noticed the strange attire of the two people in front of him: short sleeves and shorts. The most outrageous one was the girl, who was even wearing super short shorts and sandals. She didn't look like a scavenger at all, but rather like one of the rich young ladies in Chasing Light City.
Upon seeing this, Leisen quickly looked around. He suspected that there were more than just these two people here. Anyone who could move around in this area dressed like this must be accompanied by quite a few guards.
"Stop looking, there are only the three of us here... oh, and a ferret too."
Leisen's eyes were sharp. After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke his first words.
"...Who exactly are you people?"
I can understand it!
Tang Zijun's eyes lit up. This time, Hyacinth didn't come, and he thought he might experience the language barrier again. However, he didn't expect that he could actually understand the language of this world.
But the next moment he became puzzled.
Chinese?
The people in this world actually speak Chinese?
Although it has a bit of a dialect flavor, it is definitely Chinese.
If that's the case, why can't I understand the writing in this world at all? Those characters are like scribbles, completely without any pattern.
However, he didn't dwell on the issue for long. After a moment of silence, Tang Zijun slowly spoke.
"My name is Tang Zijun, this is Xiao Xiao, and this ferret is Nuomi. We come from a very, very far place. We ended up here because of a mistaken teleportation, so I would like to learn about the situation here."
Upon hearing this, Leisen let out a cold snort, and at the same time, he understood something.
Yes, aside from accidental teleportation, no one would wear this outfit and wander around in this radioactive wasteland.
"Are you from the Spiral Galaxy, or the Pano Galaxy... or... the Rogue Galaxy?" Rayson slightly raised his eyes.
Upon hearing this, both Tang Zijun and Xiao Xiao showed a moment of surprise.
Galaxy? Could it be that the people of this world have already begun to venture beyond their home planet and into the universe?
That's true. The androids did mention that Earth's civilization in the real world is just a low-level civilization that hasn't explored space yet. This also proves that the technological system of this wasteland world has risen to an extremely advanced level.
However, this is also a good thing, since visitors from other planets are generally more acceptable than visitors from other worlds.
"No, we're from much farther away," Tang Zijun said casually, then quickly steered the conversation towards the man in front of her. "What, aren't you going to introduce yourself?"
Leisen gave Tang Zijun a deep look, and his deep voice slowly rang out. "Just call me Leisen... How did you get here?"
"We were conducting an experiment when, for some reason, the equipment malfunctioned. It seems something interfered with our space, and then we were pulled here," Tang Zijun said, half-jokingly, before continuing, "What suggestions can you offer?"
"Spatial interference... that's definitely one of those guys' methods."
"Those guys?"
Seeing the bewildered expressions on the faces of the two people in front of him, Lei Sen tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a slightly bitter smile. He had subconsciously ignored Nuomi's presence.
"I really don't know whether to say you're lucky or unlucky, but the fact that you can experiment with space teleportation proves that your civilization has reached a certain threshold. In that case, it's not surprising that those guys have their eyes on you."
"Mr. Leisen, is there any way for us to return to our world?" Xiao Xiao couldn't help but ask.
"Go back?" Leisen shifted his gaze and shook his head slightly. "There's no need to go back anymore."
He paused for a moment, then continued.
"You weren't mistakenly teleported here. They forcibly interfered with your space and kidnapped you here as experimental subjects. You can't go back, and even if you did, it wouldn't matter, because your civilization should have already been destroyed by now."
'
.. Xiao Xiao opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.
Seeing that the other party seemed stunned, Leisen snorted again and said in a deep voice, "I have no reason to deceive you. In fact, there are many beings like you in this wasteland, but you are the first to be teleported here."
"Those guys are monitoring civilizations in every galaxy of the entire universe in an all-round way. As soon as any civilization's technology reaches the threshold and is detected by them, they will descend on that planet in the form of gods, completely destroy it, and bring back some valuable experimental samples."
"Over the years, they have destroyed countless planets and brought back all sorts of experimental samples to Earth. Some of the valuable ones are collected and studied, while the worthless ones are simply discarded in the wild."
"They don't care about invasive species or acclimatization problems. Thanks to them, the wasteland's ecology is already a mess, and all sorts of monsters roam freely."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao immediately thought of the black sphere she had seen earlier and asked, "Mr. Leisen, what... exactly are those things?"
"Them..." Leisen's eyelids drooped, the question seemingly triggering some unpleasant memories.
Tang Zijun could also tell that the person in front of her seemed to know a lot of things, but he didn't want to tell them, or perhaps this question was already a bit like touching on his old wounds.
So after a moment of silence, Tang Zijun changed her question.
"Lesen, does God really exist?"
'
'
Tang Zijun was met with silence.
After an unknown amount of time, Leisen let out a cold laugh.
"If there really is a God in this world, then how did this place become like this?"
After a pause, Lei Sen raised his head again, looked directly at Tang Zijun, whose expression was complicated, and asked in a deep voice.
"Hey, do you believe in God?"
"I believe you." Tang Zijun hesitated for a moment before replying calmly.
"...A laughable civilization." Leisen looked Tang Zijun up and down, his expression somewhat incomprehensible. "Technology and gods are two extremes. If there is technology, there will be no gods; if there are gods, mortals will not be able to master technology. Your civilization's technology has already developed to the point of studying space. Can't you realize that?"
"Whether they are atmospheric beings or higher-dimensional beings, those beings that seem like gods to humans are ultimately just a group of beings composed of various particles. When technology removes their fig leaf, they are nothing more than flesh-and-blood animals."
"And any animal can be killed!"
"So there are no gods in this world, understand?"
A hoarse voice echoed through the cave, and the firelight cast the shadows of the crowd that flickered on the walls, twisting into all sorts of eerie shapes.
Tang Zijun listened quietly until the man finished speaking, at which point he sat up slightly.
"If there are no gods in this world, then what are these 'them' you just mentioned?"
"They..." Feeling Tang Zijun's gaze, Lei Sen slightly averted his eyes, and after a long silence, he finally spoke in a low voice, "They were a mistake."
"Error?" Tang Zijun's eyes flickered.
Xiao Xiao, standing beside him, suddenly realized something and looked at Lei Sen in disbelief.
"Wait, wait a minute, those things...could they be the intelligent technology you created?!"
