"So how are the humans in this world?"

After pondering for a moment, Xu Shenxing chose a question to ask.

"They are all dead. At the moment of the disaster, no one can be spared." The master replied softly.

"What is ‘disaster’? Is it ‘cause’?"

"I don't know. At that time, I hadn't become friends, and I basically didn't have any impression." The other side shrugged: "In addition, I don't know the true face of'祟'."

"Then what happened to you...friends?" Xu Shenxing then asked.

"Hey, I thought you had noticed it." The master looked a little surprised. She fiddled with the tips of her hair, and then went on to explain: "Friends are humanized-mainly feminine-animals, but this The island'Ronihard' is an artificial island. There are no wild animals on the island, so all the friends are human pets." After a pause, she added with a low voice: "With experimental animals."

"Then what is the reason for ‘friends’? Why does this happen?"

"Friednsization seems to have something to do with the research project in the central laboratory on Ronnyhard Island, but I don't know exactly what it is."

"..."

How to put it, although she did seem to have answered her own questions, but after thinking about it, she didn't seem to answer anything.

Xu Shenxing didn't like this half-concealed feeling.

Probably he noticed something from Xu Shenxing's expression, and the master also showed a wry smile: "Don't look at me like that. It's not that I didn't tell you on purpose, but I really don't know."

Then she talked about her situation.

"I was originally a pet turtle in the laboratory in the central area. The intuition of animals is much stronger than that of humans. Even at that time, I seem to have already felt something. After being affected by the'disaster' in the laboratory, I escaped. I left the aquarium and became friends on the road, and came to the park area."

"Until now, I still feel full of palpitations in the central area... At the same time, maybe because of the impact of the'disaster', I can vaguely feel the existence of the'world' and get some information from it."

"Since then, other pets have successively become friends, but they can only rely on their instincts to be friends just now, and they will become the target of'splendid' attacks after being friends, so I will start teaching They are correct...or similar to human behavior, and how to use the heritage left by mankind so that they can live on this island."

Xu Shenxing thought for a while, but did not find an obvious loophole in the other party's words.

Rather, until now, Xu Shenxing has not encountered a beast mother who can lie.

"Then why does Xiao Bai say, ‘No new friends will be born’ and all ‘friends will be killed.’"

So Xu Shenxing asked the other two sentences that Xiaobai said when he first encountered the hamster army as a question.

"The appearance of friends is regular. Up to now, there have been four waves of friends. Both Hiromi and I appeared in the first batch. The time is about after the complete extinction of mankind, which can be said to be the earliest. Friends. Xiaobai and the others appeared nine years ago. After that, a large number of friends were born six or three years ago... Theoretically speaking, there should be one time this year, but in fact, as of today, this year Not even a friend showed up..."

Speaking of this, the master’s expression immediately became stern: “In turn, the mode of action of the scorpion has not changed for a full twelve years, but this year, for some reason, a large number of super-large scorpions have begun to appear, and they have evolved. The speed is getting faster and faster... I am afraid that in a while, there will be no way to deal with them by relying solely on human heritage."

"teacher?"

Hiromi, who was originally lying in her arms, stood up straight and looked at the master with some worry. Then the little girl tried her best to encourage her, "It's okay, we still have Xiao Xu, he is amazing!"

"I know, kid. But unfortunately, this situation can't be changed by relying solely on someone."

The master touched the girl's hair, and said in a bitter voice.

"It's really pessimistic."

Xu Shenxing doesn’t think so—reasonably, as a savior, he has turned the tide and saved a world too many times...

"Perhaps, because my body is a tortoise, so I should retract into the tortoise shell when something is wrong. Isn't this a friend who is good at escaping?"

The other party shrugged, then turned around and pulled out a book that looked too old on the shelf of the platform, and handed it to Xu Shenxing: "Anyway, if I am not mistaken, all the mysteries are underground in the central area. In the laboratory, the things that call you into this world should also be in it. If you want to know the truth about everything, go to the central area... This book is a notebook of a researcher in the laboratory, maybe it will Some help for you."

"Haven't you thought about investigating the laboratories in the central area by yourself?"

Xu Shenxing held the yellowed notebook and raised his eyebrows and asked.

"How much do you expect from a tortoise with a shrunken head..."

"makes sense."

Xu Shenxing opened the notebook noncommitantly. This notebook seemed to have been torn, and the spine of the book was crookedly glued with transparent glue... To be honest, in this place where water is all around, there are no pages in this notebook. It's a blessing to be moldy.

The text in the notebook is naturally not Chinese, but belongs to the same system as the text on street signs and the like on this road.

From the content point of view, this is not so much a research note, it is actually more like a diary or essay.

"Can you read the text above?"

The master asked Xu Shenxing.

"Reluctantly."

Xu Shenxing replied casually.

Although the "protection of the ten thousand races" on his body can indeed translate text, compared with ordinary words, this thing is not smart enough to help Xu Shenxing adjust all the grammar of the text. Therefore, if you look at the text alone, there will be some problems. Of course, the same taste as the article turned over by the machine will not affect his understanding of the content.

Then Xu Shenxing raised his head and asked curiously: "Can't you understand?"

"It's not that I don't understand, but many words are even guessed... After all, I haven't studied human words systematically. All the words have been deciphered slowly by some simple books in the past twelve years. ."

The master did not insist that he could understand, and nodded honestly.

"..."

It's no wonder that Brador and Golden Bear, who have met before, will use the novel as a treasure map, looking for treasures all over the world, so the problem lies here.
