The levitating car stopped near a high-rise residential area, and the Nangong couple brought everyone to their temporary residence. They invited everyone into the living room, and Ayesha went to bring the food from the mall into the kitchen. Nangong Wudi sat with the guests on the big sofa, ready to answer a series of questions.
Hao Ren looked at the furnishings around him. It was clear that the natives of this planet were highly similar to humans on Earth, and their civilization was somewhat similar to that of Earth. Although the furnishings in the room were strange, most of them could be guessed for what purpose or usage they served. The house was clean and tidy, and all kinds of things were neatly arranged in convenient places. It could be seen that the people who lived here had already made it a stable and comfortable home. As a place for a husband and wife who were stranded in another world to spend a hundred years together, this place was surprisingly not bad.
"Ayesha cleaned most of it. There are a lot of strange things used here. Thanks to my wife's talent, otherwise I don't know what to do. "Nangong Wudi noticed the guests' eyes sweeping around, and a smile appeared on his face." When we first came here, we were very busy for a while. Thinking back to what happened at that time, I can't help but laugh. "
Hao Ren noticed that Nangong Wudi's way of speaking was a little strange. After thinking for a while, he realized that it had a bit of the traditional Chinese squire's usual tone of speaking more than a hundred years ago. The man in front of him had left Earth for a hundred years, and the isolation had kept him speaking in the same way. This situation could be seen in the otherworldlings who stayed in the sanctuary all year round on Earth. When he was in the Athens sanctuary, he met a lot of old vampires and werewolves who behaved like medieval vampires.
Nangong Sanba asked impatiently, "Dad, how did you and mom get here? And how did you find this sanctuary? "
Nangong Wudi laughed. "I really don't know how I got here. I only remember being covered by a ball of light from the vengeful spirit. It made me dizzy, and when I woke up, I was in a dark and snowy world … Oh, on the ground. Your mother and I struggled to survive in the ice and snow, but it was really hard to survive in the snow. Your mother had to use the mist to prolong my life, so we took the risk and walked out of the snow. After walking for about ten days, we still couldn't see the end of the snow. Suddenly, there was an earthquake, as if the sky was falling. After another day or two, we saw the nearby steel mountain suddenly lit up with a dazzling light … "
"Wait a minute, you mean, when you first arrived in this world, the engines … that is, the light beams had not yet appeared, and they only lit up after you arrived here?" Hao Ren suddenly interrupted Nangong Wudi.
Nangong Wudi nodded. "Yes. After that, the two of us walked towards the place where there was light. Soon, we found a city that looked like it was made of steel and all sorts of intricate mechanisms. After that, a mechanical puppet brought us to this place. "
Hao Ren and Vivian looked at each other. "… As I guessed, the Planetary Ark had been staying in its own solar system before this. It was the Nangong couple who came to this planet and activated something to make the planet sail."
"It's not necessarily them who activated it, but the timing seems to be right," Vivian touched her chin and looked up at Nangong Wudi. "After the light pillars lit up, did there be frequent earthquakes here? And sometimes you feel weightless … Uh, heavy head and light feet, or do you always walk sideways? "
Nangong Wudi nodded and told them what happened in his memory. Everyone found that it basically corresponded to the phenomenon when the planet set sail. Although the natives on this planet had created such an incredible thing as the "Planetary Ark," their level of technology was not high. For example, they did not know how to make anti-gravity equipment and deal with the inertia problem when the aircraft accelerated. They could only rely on long acceleration and deceleration or various shock absorbers to resist.
Nangong Wudi's memory completely confirmed Hao Ren's guess about the time the planet set sail.
"Dad, you guys here …" Nangong Wuyue's eyes were still a little red, and she could not help but cry when she spoke. "You didn't suffer, did you?"
"At first, I didn't understand, of course, it was a little difficult," Nangong Wudi smiled broadly, appearing calm and reliable. "But soon we got used to it. Everything here is convenient, and all kinds of things are also convenient. To be honest, after getting used to it, it's more convenient than the stupid things back home. There's no shortage of food, clothing, and other things, but it's a little … lonely. "
Nangong Wudi tried to speak in a light tone, but anyone could guess that he and Ayesha must have encountered more than a little difficulty when they first came to this world. They had no one to guide them, they were nervous and scared, and they did not even know the language here. This advanced world that seemed to be fully automatic was probably a place where demons ran amok to people a hundred years ago. Nangong Wuyue's mother should be the fastest to adapt here. After all, she was a siren, and the city of sirens, Nasaton itself was an advanced immigration starship. She was no stranger to the automatic facilities here, at least to this "style" of the world.
But the biggest difficulty was Nangong Wudi's last sentence: a little lonely.
"Have you seen anyone else here?" Lily asked, hugging her knees.
"No," Nangong Wudi looked solemn. "I know what you want to ask. My wife and I have walked around the whole city, and there is no one else here except us. But we often see people on the screen, and the things in the shops are often changed. "
"What about outside the city?" Y 'zaks leaned his upper body forward with one hand on the coffee table. "Have you been to other cities?"
Nangong Wudi's answer surprised everyone. "We can't get out. After coming in, we can't go out again. And to be honest, we don't know the way to other cities, and we don't even know if there are other cities."
"We can't get out?" They looked at each other. Vivian was the first to speak. "How can we not get out? Is there someone blocking us? "
Nangong Wudi spread out his hand. "The way out of the city is blocked. It's the Tower of Babel that you came down from. Didn't you go back to have a look? It should not be open again. The outermost part of the city is stone and steel, and the whole city is tightly wrapped. There are a few places that look like the city gates, but the gates are closed. "
Hao Ren frowned. "Haven't you tried to force your way through?"
"We tried to force our way through, but the mechanical puppets stopped us." Nangong Wudi grinned. "After that, Ayesha and I did not force our way through the city gate. After all, this place is very strange. The snow outside is extremely cold, and it is very difficult to survive. At least we can survive in this city. For the sake of safety, we'll stay here. "
Hao Ren's face suddenly became serious.
The city was blocked, and the elevator and the security robots outside the city were carrying out the blockade in a planned way. That was to say, someone prohibited the people in the city from leaving. He thought of the middle-aged man who appeared on the big screen and the news that someone had recently produced. These clues pointed to a group of mysterious guys hiding behind the scenes, perhaps the real owner of this planet. But why did they do this?
A lot of thoughts flashed through his mind. Hao Ren suddenly felt that this empty 'ghost city' was likely to be an observation laboratory. The real natives and the shelter were probably somewhere else. In this way, many things that were not right could be explained.
But what was the point of doing this?
Hao Ren called the spacecraft that was on standby in orbit. The voice of the MDT quickly sounded in his mind. "Boss, what did you find?"
"We have found the Nangong parents," Hao Ren reported the good news first. "But this is not the point. Increase the power of the radar and scan for signs of life in the deeper layers of the planet. Find out if there are any large shelters or similar facilities. I suspect that the survivors of this planet are hiding deeper underground, and their behavior is not right. "
"No problem. Do you have any other instructions?"
"Be careful. Try not to cause a conflict." Hao Ren did not forget his work rules. "If it is not necessary, do not use force against the alien civilization."
The actions of the inspectors should be kept at the 'civil' level as much as possible. Although the Xiling Empire's definition of the word 'civil' seemed a little subtle, it was certainly not a good idea to rashly declare war on other civilizations, especially when this planet itself was an observation sample full of civilization's achievements. The Petrachelys could not be used to solve all the problems.
