The Strange Earth
When Lin Shi was the last to be pushed into the room, Gu Er and Li Mo realized the seriousness of the problem. Lin Shi angrily slammed the tightly shut door and shouted,"This is simply a barbaric act. Let us out quickly. Let us out."
"Let's calm down first before we can figure out what's going on.”Li Mo pursed his lips. Ever since he stepped out of the ship's door, Li Mo had felt a sense of unwarranted worry. When he walked out of the gangway, he turned back to look at the closing door. This kind of door could only be opened by someone who knew the password. When he stepped onto the ground, he was surprised by the three armored vehicles and a bus coming from the opposite direction. He couldn't explain why. These outdated transportation tools shouldn't have appeared where the spaceship landed. An ominous feeling rang in Li Mo's mind. They might have set foot on an unfamiliar planet.
As the three of them were being dragged onto the bus by a group of people, Li Mo, who was at the back, accidentally heard the other party's shouts. He could not help but widen his eyes in shock. He did not understand what the other party meant. After denying the possibility that he had space sickness, he carefully listened to the other party's language and quickly came to the conclusion that these people around him were not Earthlings. Li Mo was very confident that he could not only speak the languages of a few major countries on Earth, but he could also understand the languages of most of the major countries on Earth. But in front of him…He wanted to warn Gu Er and Lin Shi, but he was too late. There was no chance. The people behind him were crowding the car door. He began to regret it, secretly blaming himself for his carelessness. He had lost his vigilance in the excitement of rushing home. He should suppress his excitement and urge the two of them to be vigilant and pay attention to their safety. He regretted not bringing a weapon for self-defense. He thought that he had returned to Earth and returned to the embrace of mankind, ending his long lonely life in space. He did not expect such a situation to occur.
Soon, the three of them were sent to this room and confined.
Lin Shi was still shouting at the door," Let us out, let us out. I want to see my girlfriend."”
Gu Er patted Lin Shi's shoulder with concern and comforted him,""Xiao Lin, stop shouting and don't be angry. Eckstedt's Law, which we didn't believe in, proved our flight. We really have to face an unfamiliar planet. Come here." He pulled Lin Shi to sit beside Li Mo." Captain, what do you think?"”
Li Mo thought for a while and said," We've been flying for ten years. It's already hundreds of years on Earth. It might even be thousands of years. We will be facing the future generations of humans on Earth. But…" He hesitated for a moment before continuing," It's just that I find it strange. What happened after we entered Earth's orbit. First, there were satellites and missiles. On the ground, there were armored vehicles, buses, and weapons. These things were technological products of our ancestors 'era. How could they appear in the hands of our future generations who will have high-tech products? Old Gu Er, Xiao Lin, what do you think?”
"Could it be that we landed in another country?”Lin Shi made a guess.
"I can basically understand the language of most countries on Earth, but I can't understand their conversations. Old Guer, you are also a traveler who is familiar with the languages of many countries. Can you understand them?" Li Mo asked.
"I was also wondering. He did not think about it for a moment. There's really a problem here."
Lin Shi made a new guess,"Or maybe we landed on another planet."”
"That's impossible." Gul retorted," During the last voyage, the captain and I were in the cockpit the whole time. Later, Xiao Lin also came. Could it be that the three of them had misread the coordinates? This is impossible." Gu Er shook his head firmly. He paused and said," However, looking at those outdated things, we might have stumbled into the space-time tunnel and come to an ancient society.”
"How could that be?" Lin Shi continued," On the ship, you were still saying that we transcended time and space and entered the future society. But now, once they were on the surface, they had entered an ancient society. I don't understand."
"It seems that we are facing a very serious problem. We should calmly analyze it.”Li Mo suggested.
A ray of sunlight shone through the window, illuminating the room. This attracted the attention of the three of them.
"Look! Sunlight. Look! And Cai Xia." Lin Shi shouted and rushed to the window with a yearning expression.
Gu Er and Li Mo also rushed over. The three of them excitedly squeezed to the window with a protective fence. They pointed at the clouds in the sky and looked at them excitedly. They were filled with emotions. Flying in the universe, there was no day or multicolored clouds. There was only a deep and gloomy scene and helpless eternal time.
Gu Er said to the two of them with even more certainty,"Only the solar system, only the earth's atmosphere, can have such gorgeous and colorful clouds. We must have returned to Earth, but we've run into an ancient society.”
The sunlight shone on their faces, making them glow, but also mixed with a helpless and puzzled expression.
Dusk had fallen, and the lights in the room were lit. Only then did the three of them notice that the light bulb above their heads was also a genuine antique.
Someone served dinner. It was another authentic ancestral dish. Gu Er also examined the chopsticks on the plate.
" No matter what," Li Mo advised," eat and sleep well first. Only then will you have the energy to deal with the new environment and new challenges tomorrow."”
They hadn't had a proper meal for the past two days, and the excitement of going home had ruined their appetite. At this moment, his stomach felt double the hunger. However, the three of them still couldn't swallow the sumptuous dinner in front of them.
After the meal, Gu Er looked at the waiter who came in to clear the cutlery and said to Li Mo,""Captain, we need to find a way to get back to the ship. Now we are unarmed and at the mercy of others. As long as they boarded the spaceship and had a laser pistol in their hands, they could easily destroy these outdated gadgets.”
"Alright, I'll do it. I'll take these two as hostages. How is it?" Lin Shi was eager to try and asked Li Mo.
Li Mo quickly stopped them and reminded them,""Look outside the door. There are so many people guarding it. Moreover, they were in a backward society. Taking hostages would not work.”
"Then what should we do? Are we just going to wait here?" Lin Shi was impatient and looked like a monkey in a hurry. Normally, Gu Er would have laughed and teased him. However, the situation today was different. Even Gu Er had a serious expression on his face.
"I don't think the situation is that serious. So far, they have been polite to us. Let's rest first. It's useless to be anxious now." Li Mo persuaded," Let's see how they treat us tomorrow.”
That night, the three of them did not sleep well. Was this Earth? Was this a descendant of a human? How did he end up in an ancient society? A bunch of questions stirred up their minds. They had insomnia, but they still could not figure it out.
On the morning of the third day, a group of people came to visit them. After a while, they left one person to accompany them. The other party sat on the chair beside the table and knocked on the table with his hand.
Lin Shi said,"Captain, this might be an official. There should be some value in capturing him as a hostage." How about it? Let me deal with him."
"I've already waited for two days. It wasn't too late to make a move after figuring out his intention of staying behind.”Li Mo said calmly and quickly stopped Lin Shi with his eyes.
"It looks like he's calling us over," Gu Er reminded. There was no hostility on his face. Why don't we communicate with him and see what his intentions are?”
The three of them sat around the table. After some difficult shouting and relying on hand gestures, they finally guessed the general idea. The other party was called "Shi Yan". The three of them also told each other their names.
Li Mo calmly said to the two," We can ask this Shi Yan to let us go outside. This way, if he wanted to run out and return to the spaceship, it would be easy to find an opportunity.”
The next day, they moved to a new place and could move around in the courtyard. At night, Li Mo and the others took action and prepared to escape. They tied up Shi Yan, who had been accompanying them, and hid him in the room. Then, they quietly crept along the wall to the fence of the courtyard. Once they climbed over the fence, they would be able to escape. It seemed that success was in sight.
Lin Shi excitedly pushed Li Mo and Guerto up the wall, then pulled Li Mo's hand. When he was about to jump up the wall, he accidentally stepped on a brick that was exposed and fell to the ground with a loud sound. Their actions had been discovered. Whistles sounded all around, and people shouted and quickly surrounded them.
Li Mo said to Gu Er as he pulled Lin Shi,""As long as one person can escape, there is a chance. Gu Er, you jump down first."
Shi Lin finally climbed up the wall. At this moment, Gu Er, who had jumped down, screamed," Ouch!”" Gu Er, what's wrong?" Li Mo asked. Did you fall?" He thought that he should have jumped down first to scout the way, because he had to pull Lin Shi, and Gu Er was weaker.
"There's a deep ditch down there.”Gu Er said from below," The ditch is two meters deep. Including the wall, it is also two meters high. You guys have to be careful. I'll pick you up downstairs."
In the darkness, Gu Er failed to catch Li Mo, who had jumped down. Instead, he was overwhelmed by Li Mo's body momentum. Gu Er couldn't help but call out again.
When Lin Shi jumped down, the people chasing him also climbed up the wall.
Li Mo and the other two were immediately illuminated by the torchlight. The ditch was two meters deep and two meters wide, with knee-high water. They had to climb up the other side of the ditch to get out. The situation was extremely critical.
" Hurry up," Li Mo said to Shi Lin." Try to run out and get back to the spaceship."”Li Mo and Gu Er used the light to push Lin Shi into the ditch.
Shi Lin bent over to pull the two of them, but they were already caught by the chasing personnel who had jumped down.
" Run!" Li Mo shouted at Lin Shi." Run!" Don't worry about us."
Lin Shi couldn't help but shout,"Captain!”
"Little Lin, run! If you don't run now, it'll be too late." Gu Er also urged loudly," Don't worry about us. Remember to run back to the spaceship.”Gu Er waved his hand repeatedly.
Li Mo and Gu Er silently hoped that as long as Lin Shi could successfully escape and return to the spaceship, he would have advanced weapons. It would be easy for him to come back and rescue them.
However, at noon the next day, Lin Shi was sent back in a sorry state.
"How is it?" Gu Er asked with concern. Are you alright?"
Li Mo helped the exhausted Lin Shi sit down." Are you alright?"”
Lin Shi sighed and said,"It's alright. It's really hard to explain in a few words."”
Shi Lin recounted his experience. He quickly evaded his pursuers in the night. However, during the day, he couldn't figure out the direction and asked the pedestrians on the road. Who knew that he would be exposed when he asked for directions. He was suspected because he didn't understand the language and was quickly surrounded and captured.
After Li Mo heard this, he pondered for a while before saying,""It seems that the language barrier is a big problem. It would be very difficult to find the spaceship even if they ran out. We have to think of another way."
Shi Yan came to visit them. He looked at Gu Er's injured leg with concern. Shi Yan looked like he was concerned, but he was mumbling something that the three of them could not understand.
Li Mo's heart lit up. Why not learn the so-called Earth language from Shi Yan? After learning the language, it would be easier to find the location of the spaceship. He told Gu Er and Lin Shi about this idea, and they immediately agreed.
