Traversed to the Ark of Tomorrow, but was a traveler

Chapter 216 Meeting Beyond Time

Xia Lan's eyes fell on this half-naked "man" whose body was close to that of a human, but he didn't seem to have any sexual characteristics belonging to a human, and frowned tightly.

Relying on the sense of touch brought back by the spiritual power, "he" must have a mind and a soul, so he is the master here...and should be a part of this plan.

However, apart from guessing the other party's identity, what worries him even more is the faint sense of crisis that the other party brings to him--it is obvious that the other party has the ability to directly pose a major threat to him without relying on the Origin Stone system. It was confirmed in his next perception.

The opponent has been running a gravitational manipulation field, and the quality of its body is definitely far beyond his prediction.

A life resembling a male human landed in front of them, looked up and down Xia Lan, who seemed to be the backbone, and then asked in a slightly awkward lingua franca: "Are you guys from outside?"

The other party was more talkative than Xia Lan expected, and most of this confidence came from almost absolute power.

The reason for saying it is a mouthful is because many of the words he uses are agreed replacement words, which are not very applicable in the current context. Although it sounds understandable, it is like a beginner in a foreign language. , which is full of weirdness.

A thought came to Xia Lan's heart, and then he answered, "That's right, we came from the outside world and entered here from a 'relic' for us."

He uses words that precisely fit the context.

As expected, the other party nodded after pondering for a few seconds and said, "Then are you willing to tell me what has become outside?"

At this time, several words in the other party's mouth have been replaced with words that fit the current context.

Although Skadi and Ghost Shark were a little confused about the current situation, they also noticed the change in the other party's words and showed a surprised look.

"Did he learn our language instantly?!" Skadi exclaimed in his heart.

After getting an affirmative answer, Skadi quietly nodded to the ghost shark, and the ghost shark understood instantly.

"Okay, I know everything, so in exchange, would you like to tell us something about this... and what happened to you?" Xia Lan replied, prioritizing a more honest answer.

He has always had a straight ball, and the one he met this time didn't seem to hide his thoughts, he was quite straight.

"Okay." The other party nodded and led them to walk in the other direction of the forest.

And along the way, the other party also told Xia Lan and the others their own names: Heimdall.

"Does this name come from myths and legends?" Xia Lan asked suddenly, thinking about the Nordic myths she had read in her previous life but didn't know much about. This name seemed to correspond to a "Guardian God" in it.

Heimdall paused slightly, and after a long silence he said, "So, the myths and legends of 'pre-civilization' are still circulating on this land?"

He seemed to know that his civilization was gone, and he must have been watching for a long time when Xia Lan and the others looked around.

Xia Lan shook her head slightly and said, "Sorry, I know that the place with this name is different from this land. The legends on this land have changed a lot, and I'm afraid the name has also changed."

"Is that so..." Heimdall sighed slightly, and didn't say anything more about it.

Then Xia Lan also introduced the names of the three people on her side.

Although he knew that he might poke the other person's sore spot, he still asked, "Mr. Heimdall, have you been in this world for so many years without a companion?"

But the other party smiled lightly: "No, there are."

"But she can't meet with you now, and you will know later."

……

After walking about five kilometers, they came to the border of this large ecological park, and came to the place where the dome meets the ground.

After eliminating the environmental mimicry, an unpretentious silver-white metal door was revealed in front of everyone.

"Isn't teleportation used here?" Xia Lan asked in a low voice: "It seems that you came out of the portal just now, can't you use the portal to go back?"

"That's only limited to myself." Heimdall replied, raised his hand, stirred the surrounding space as if reaching into the water, and then calmed it down in an instant when he stopped.

A faint air flow passed by, taking away the heat that was slowly dissipating from Heimdall's hand.

"Is the energy conversion system not good enough?" Xia Lan asked suddenly.

Heimdall raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a look of high regard, and then replied: "Not only this aspect, but also many other contents that have not been optimized..."

"But it's not so much that it's not done, it's better to say that we don't have a solution to this problem right now, stuck at this bottleneck for more than 2000 Terra years."

The puzzled faces of Skadi and Ghost Shark, who were listening in a cloud of mist, how could it be related to "optimization"?

But listening to the year 2000, it seems that it is indeed a very serious problem.

"I probably understand what's going on, and I'll explain it to you when I'm sure." Xia Lan looked at the two of them and asked in a rare riddle.

While they were chatting, the metal door opened, and a huge space gradually revealed its shape.

Four non-human people walked in, and Xia Lan finally got a glimpse of the true face of this pre-civilization relic—silver and white as the theme color, the design style is full of the beauty of industrial simplicity, and there are fluorescent lights with temporarily unknown functions in many positions. Blue symbol, texture.

"It feels a bit like the tone of some ruins unearthed by Agor..." Ghost Shark said suddenly, looking back and forth curiously.

"Agor? Is that the country that belongs to you, and the life forms there are all like you?" Heimdall asked.

While walking up the winding stairs, Xia Lan explained: "No, we are a kind of fusion creature, combining one part of human beings and another supernatural life form at the same time. The limb strength of ordinary people is about five to five times that of ours. A quarter."

Xia Lan briefly explained the existence of Haisi to Heimdall, and asked him if he knew about the plan.

But it's a pity that Heimdall doesn't seem to be aware of Haisi's plan. Although the sudden catastrophe was predicted to a certain extent, it still surpassed their imagination.

And Heimdall is a researcher who doesn't care about world affairs, and he doesn't know the plans of other regions.

"Speaking of... are you willing to provide us with your tissues and blood?" Heimdall asked bluntly.

I don't know the reason, but his straight ball still surpassed Xia Lan's expectations, and even he, who has always been straight ball, was a little dazed.

"of course."

"And if necessary, I can give you a share of the 'Origin Stone' power, I have a full set of 'Origin Stone' data." He replied very generously.

Heimdall, no matter whether it is good or bad, since he has become the protagonist of the last patron saint plan of the former civilization, he should be admired—at least he does not have the confidence to stay in this narrow world for thousands of years or tens of thousands. year.

"..." Heimdall was silent for a while, until he came to the end of the corridor, stopped in front of a door, and asked again: "Excuse me, why are you so generous to me?"

"Which idea do you want to hear, or all of them?" Xia Lan asked.

"—if you like, I'd like to hear it too."

After a pause, Heimdall said again: "But before that, please come in."

Behind the door is a huge space with transparent floor-to-ceiling windows. At the top of the space, there is a huge sphere with a diameter of five or six meters suspended by many pipes. In it...

There appears to be a vaguely humanoid form.

"That's my partner. She is in the cradle of her soul, and she will have to wait about five hours to wake up." Heimdall said, although he noticed the doubts of several people, he still led them to the window first. In front of the tables and chairs, invite a few people to sit down.

"Then, please allow me to introduce myself again - I am the highest researcher, first test subject, and direct person in charge of this stable ecological simulation park: Heimdall."

Seeing Heimdall reaching out to her, Xia Lan took the other's hand in a daze, and while wondering why the etiquette of the pre-civilization was no different from the modern one, she responded: "My name is Xia Lan, and I come from a country with a pre-civilization. A small modern organization of survivors, this trip came to destroy the ruins that might attract the attention of "it", but came here by chance."

After introducing themselves, the two fell silent for a while after sitting down, not knowing where to start.

In the end, it was Heimdall who spoke first: "This and the other three ecological simulation parks are all built to create individual power. As you can see, my soul still belongs to human beings, but my body has already transcended defines the human being's definition of all natural life."

"The two people around you also have artificial marks on their bodies, but Ms. Skadi gives people a more natural feeling, while Ms. Laurentina gives me a more rigid feeling."

Heimdall, who revealed the status quo in a few words, surprised the two deep-sea hunters, but Xia Lan was not surprised. He could also discover this with the strength of his blood.

And the one in front of him is many times stronger than the deep sea hunter in terms of pure power, not to mention using the "divine power" they have researched themselves.

What kind of cell-sized anti-matter engine, matter compression, micro-factory, structural dynamic specialization, gravity manipulation, curvature space engine...

Even the nano-scale materials and room-temperature superconductor materials that make up the body are trivial.

"Well, this is the Deep Sea Hunter plan we mentioned earlier, but unlike the ultimate battleship that you cast a human figure, the Deep Sea Hunter plan is only limited to strengthening pure physical strength." Xia Lan said.

Under the accumulation of unknown years of previous civilizations and the ten thousand years of directional research in this ecological simulation park, Agor's civilization is nothing but a toddler.

Heimdall pondered for a while, and then asked about the unsolved topic just now—about why Xia Lan was so generous to them, the "lost ones".

The reason was simple and direct, and it even made Heimdall, who was still a little worried, suddenly enlightened.

First: The "it" in the sky is still there, but "it" now disdains to pay attention to this barren and chaotic land, and temporarily looks elsewhere.

Second: The civilization on the earth is constantly developing and advancing, not only "it" as the sword of Damocles, but also the resolution of many things is imminent.

Third: Since Heimdall and the others are still acting, it means that they still decided to resist "it" after the destruction.

These three points mean that Xia Lan is on the same front as them. Regardless of whether they will part ways in the future, the benefits brought by cooperation now are definitely greater than the struggle.

After resolving the relationship between the two parties, Heimdall originally wanted to take Xia Lan and the others to visit some of the facilities here, so as to carry out in-depth cooperation later, but at this time, he received news of a new "guest".

At the same time, through the one-way transparent mimic window, Xia Lan saw a large number of portals appearing in the sky.

Some heavily armed mercenaries appeared among them, and they were scattered throughout the forest after being disrupted by the teleportation.

By the time the portal disappeared, 12 people had arrived.

"It seems that they are not your people." Heimdall frowned slightly, looking at the group of people carrying a large number of weapons.

Although these people are mortals, their actions are far less gentle than Xia Lan and the others, and more like robbers rushing into other people's homes, frantically spreading radio signals in the atmosphere, and heading in one direction After meeting, start to set up the camp.
