Chapter 350: Great Wilderness

"Grandpa, what is that?"

On the sand dunes next to the endless sky, a little girl carrying a medicine basket looked up at the sea of ​​stars. The two little balls on her head were taller than her grandfather's crawling back, but her big eyes were still bright and innocent.

Looking in the direction of her slender fingertips, grandpa raised his three-point folded back, narrowed his wrinkled eyes, and a golden streak crossing the night sky was reflected in his cloudy eyeballs.

If he could travel back to the legendary era, he might tell Ni'er that the strongest man of the human race had flown back from the sky and would bring hope to the entire human race in the wilderness.

If time travels back to the beginning of the era, he might say that those were the lost treasures of heaven and earth in the universe, which befell our Great Wilderness because of some accidents.

But as time has come to the present day, the glory of the human race recorded in history books has long been covered in the yellow sand. The natural treasures of this world belong to foreign races, and all humans have become slaves.

So, he said to Nier: "That is a shooting star where you can make a wish. It can fulfill one of your wishes. It can only be seen once every billions of years. Because today is the 300th anniversary of Nier's birth, I am lucky to have waited for it."

"Really, Grandpa?" Nier opened her eyes wide. Against the backdrop of the yellow sand, her hair looked like dried willow branches and her skin looked like frosted yellow clay. Only her eyes were clear and bright, as clean as lake water. "Can any wish come true?"

"It will be all right."

"I want to have an oasis of my own with Grandpa, so I don't have to look for rare minerals for those ugly monsters anymore—"

"Haha, OK." Grandpa smiled and lifted the hair covering Ni'er's eyelashes. "It will come true one day."

can you?

God knows
"Huh?" Suddenly, Ni'er was surprised and jumped up and down, still reluctant to put down her finger, "Grandpa, Grandpa, the location where the meteor landed seems to be not far from us!"

"Ah?" Grandpa suddenly looked up, his eyes widened, "It's coming towards us! Let's run!"

"???"

Ni'er was stunned for a moment. Before she had time to take another look at the meteor, her left wrist was grabbed by her grandfather. His bony arm seemed to have the strength of a desert scorpion, dragging her desperately down the sand dune, as if trying to find a sloping rock wall that could block her view.

She had never seen her thin and hunchbacked grandfather run so fast. His two thin legs were swinging desperately, and his face was covered with sand. When the wind blew, his clothes and robes were filled with sand.

Escapes like this have happened before. In the past, whenever I saw spaceships flying in the sky, they would do the same thing. Those were very large spaceships, but they didn't matter. After all, compared to those huge aircraft, my grandfather and I were nothing but grains of sand.

But some small spaceships are different. They may be hiding bandits from the wilderness who will rob whatever they see. My grandfather often worried that he would be robbed because he was too cute. These are the original words.

Fortunately, there was an inclined rock wall under my feet, and there was also a place to block the wind, so my grandfather took me in it.

But
call--

The sound of wind tore through the sky, and the rumbling sound of thunder resounded throughout the sand dunes. It seemed that something moving at high speed was falling from the sky and was about to hit the rock wall above his head.

The horrible whistling sound came from far away and made Grandpa's already small heart beat wildly, thump, thump, thump. He gritted his teeth and trembled his lips: "Shh~ Let's not talk." "Okay."

With a soft response, Nier hugged her petite body and curled up into a ball, leaning against her trembling grandfather. He was always like this, and would tremble when he saw some landing spacecraft.

But isn’t this a meteor falling?

Why does grandpa still tremble?
After thinking for a while, her eyes became clear and she murmured in her heart: "Grandpa must be very afraid of things coming from the sky, no matter what they are."

However, my parents and grandma don’t seem to be afraid of the sky. Grandpa said that when he was very young, they flew into the sky and went to another world.

In that world, you can touch the stars directly. They dance like fireflies in an oasis. Countless fireflies are linked together to form the Milky Way water like silk threads. It is very magical.
boom--

Finally, a loud noise interrupted her gentle thoughts. The sand within a few miles shook, and some quicksand areas collapsed. She could hear the strange sound of sand rubbing against sand, as if an inverted sand river was shrinking.

There was also a sandstorm that covered the sky and the sun sweeping in from afar, and it almost knocked down the skinny grandfather, but he supported himself on the rock wall with both hands to block the large area of ​​wind and sand.

I blinked twice and coughed twice, and all the sand in my eyes and some fine sand in my mouth were washed out. I squinted my eyes, but couldn't see the starry sky and the other side. The dust stirred up by the vibration was so heavy that my heel even jumped.

"Ahem," Grandpa couldn't bear it anymore and spit out some sand to the side. He fanned the sand in front of him, but he didn't dare to make any more noise. "Shh~"

"Grandpa, there seems to be someone in the sandstorm."

Nier spoke again, her slender fingers locked onto a figure like a compass, but her voice was so soft that only her grandfather, who was protecting her, could hear it.

"people?"

This special word contained so much meaning that when Grandpa heard it, he was stunned. His memory told him that Ni'er would not lie.

At the same time, he was also told that humans should not have anything to do with flying.

The sky is a forbidden area for humans. The most common place they walk is the sand. Without the permission of the alien master, they cannot even set foot in the oasis covered with soil.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with being able to walk on the sand. Many people cannot walk out of the oasis. Their feet are shackled, and even if they have stronger strength, they cannot step out of that narrow area.
All kinds of thoughts spread in Grandpa's mind. He tentatively looked in the direction that Ni'er pointed, and sure enough, there was a shadow walking out from there, but the wind was too strong and the sand was too thick, so he couldn't see the outline clearly for a while.

However, its body is not very big, and it is really possible that it is just the size of a human. Even its physique is more slender than those alien masters, and not bloated.

He seemed like a living human being, but also like an iron tower. Every step he took in the center of a sandstorm would create a tiny wind field, isolating the yellow sand.

As we walked forward step by step, the yellow sand retreated step by step.

No matter how the wind and sand swayed, or how his clothes fluttered, his body was as straight as a gun, and his steps were as steady as a mountain, embodying a temperament that the human race in the Great Wilderness did not have.

Wait, why is he really coming this way? !
