Unravel the Mystery in Your Heart
Kotter and Mira walked into the mountains. They were very careful along the way, tensed up, and did not let go of any clues.
They didn't find any humans or animals, but based on their intuition, there must be living beings here. They were nervous and excited, hoping to find something early.
When they were halfway up the mountain, they noticed something unusual. There was a rustling sound in the bushes not far in front of them. It made them wary.
Kotter and Mira exchanged glances and understood each other.
Mira stayed where she was to rest, while Kotter continued to move forward. This was a trick. It circled behind the bushes and took the back path.
Following Kotter's roar, Mira also pounced forward. Hey! What did they discover?
It turned out to be a wolf with gray fur. Trembling with fear, his eyes were filled with fear. He was no match for a tiger, let alone a lion. It thought it was dead. Resistance was useless. It was futile. There was no chance of winning.
It surrendered.
"Don't worry, we won't hurt you. As long as you tell the truth, what's your name? What were they doing here? Why are you sneaking glances at us?”
Mila asked in a half-comforting and half-threatening tone.
The wolves trembled in fear, afraid that any words would accidentally anger them and bring about a fatal disaster.
It carefully replied," I, I am Michelle. I am hungry and came out to look for food. How dare I peek at you!"”
It had never seen other animals on such a huge mountain. Where was it going to find food?
" Why are you lying?" Kotter roared." You should know the consequences. Tell us the truth, or don't blame us for being rude to you."”As he spoke, he made an attack.
The wolf was frightened.
"Don't, don't, don't, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything. Please don't hurt me."
"Hurry up and tell me!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I'm on sentry duty."
"Sentry?" Mira asked. Who are you keeping watch for?"
"It's my companions."
"Companion? Are you talking about animals like us?”Mira asked. "Where are they?"
" Yes..." Michelle hesitated for a moment. She was not sure why they were here.
"We won't hurt you. We live in nature, and we're not enemies. Don't be afraid, and don't worry. Tell us about your companions, and we can tell that you won't lie.”
The wolf seemed to have dispelled his concerns.
"They are in a cave not far away."
"Why are you hiding in a cave instead of living freely on the mountain? What happened?"
"Oh, you're from the outside, right? Don't you know the situation here? A few years ago, we were attacked by the apes, and more than half of us were killed or injured. Not only us, but the two humans were also not spared. They also hid.”
"What did you say? Humans, are there any humans here? Where are they?"
"I don't know. We've been in hiding for a long time and rarely come out. We rarely see them. Besides, apes appear at any time. If we encounter them, we'll die.”
"Apes? Were apes that scary? They were just a small group. How could they be so arrogant?”Kotter asked in confusion.
"You guys still don't know, right? This place is ruled by apes. Not only here, but many places in the world have been occupied by them. They kill humans and animals in large numbers. They want to exterminate us. Humans are no longer dominant. Their numbers and territories are almost exhausted.”
"What is it? How could this be? This was unbelievable. How was this possible? Quickly tell me what happened?”Mira was skeptical.
"I'm not too sure about that. I don't know what the outside world is like either. It's already good enough that we can protect ourselves. We don't have the ability to care about other things.”
"How many of you still have? Are you all on this mountain?”Kurt asked.
"There are about a thousand of them, scattered in a few caves.”Michelle replied.
"Oh, then let me ask you again. What is this place?"
"This is Prometheus, the former territory of the Balid Kingdom.”
Mira was a little suspicious. "The Barid Kingdom? Why haven't we heard of it before? We've never heard of such a country.”
"This country has existed for more than two hundred years. Our ancestors have lived here for generations. Oh, I heard from my grandfather. His grandfather's grandfather said that this place was originally called Boston and belonged to a country called the United States.”
Kotter and Mira's heads buzzed and went blank.
"What is it? Two hundred years? It had been more than 200 years since the Barid Kingdom had been established? Did that mean Boston had disappeared for more than 200 years? Where are we? What era is this?"
Michelle could tell that they were thinking about something and carefully probed,""You weren't sent by the apes, were you? Please have mercy and let us go.”
"How could that be?" Mira came back to her senses." Then I'm asking you now. What era is it now? What year is it?"
Michelle looked troubled. "I don't know," he replied. We don't count years. Perhaps only humans would know. He would have to ask them.”
"Oh, please go back and tell your companions that we are friends, not enemies. We should help each other. Only by uniting can we continue to live.”
Just as the wolf was about to speak, it suddenly seemed to have discovered something. It pricked up its ears and signaled for Kotter and Mira to keep quiet.
"There's movement. Hurry up and get up."
They hid in the bushes.
Not far away, two apes were riding a person over. That person could no longer move. He was tied up, but it could be seen that he was still alive.
"Michelle, is this the ape you were talking about? With the strength of the three of us, eliminating them is not a problem. I hope that this person will appear. We have a human friend who wants to know the current situation from this person.”Mira said softly.
"No, this is too risky. They are very powerful. If we don't do well, they might discover our hiding place.”The wolf was worried.
"I won't." " I'm not sure if I can handle two of them," Kotter comforted it." But I can handle one." We'll circle around them, and you'll make a noise here to attract their attention and separate them, but you must not go out. After we take care of one, we'll take down this person and work together to eliminate the other. Trust me, it'll be fine."
Michelle nodded. She had no other choice.
The wolf used its front paws to scratch the branches, making a rustling sound.
The apes found out, leaving one to guard the prisoner while the other went to the bushes to collect the rope.
Michelle's heart was in her throat, and she did not dare to breathe loudly.
The fire was burning. Kotter and Mira launched an attack at the right time, pushing the ape guarding the prisoner to the ground. Mira used her sharp teeth to bite off the ape's neck.
He was dead. The other ape felt something was wrong and turned back.
It was too late. Kotter and Mira pounced on him, and Michelle also pounced from behind. The ape did not have time to resist, and its throat was bitten and it fell to the ground.
Victory! They met and celebrated.
"Michelle, you stay here and deal with their bodies. Don't let them find us. We will take this person to see our leader.”
"Alright, you guys can go."
"We'll look for you. Take care!”Mira and Michelle said goodbye.
Kotter and Milla worked together to carry the injured person onto Milla's back. They went down the mountain to look for Arias.
Arias anxiously waited for news from Kotter and Milla. He paced back and forth, looking up the mountain.
The goat Lilari seemed to have seen through Arias's heart and comforted him,""Arias, don't worry. Pincot and Mira won't be in any danger with their abilities. They're both kings of their own territory! I'm sure they'll be back soon.”
Arias looked up at the sky and sighed.”
It was late in the morning, but there was still no news. Arias became even more annoyed.
Kerry, who was on sentry duty on the tree, looked ahead with his eyes wide open. Suddenly, he shouted excitedly,"Look! Kotter and Mira had returned. Eh? Mira seemed to be carrying something on her back!”
The animals were all up, welcoming their heroes, hoping that they would bring good news.
Alitas helped the injured man down and laid him flat on the grass. With his many years of medical experience (although he was a veterinarian), he was able to make a living. He judged that the man was not severely injured, but was too weak. He was not in danger. He gave the man some water and the man regained some consciousness. He could not speak for the time being, so he had to rest well.
"Mila, what happened?" Arias asked. What was wrong with this person? Tell me what happened.”
"Oh, it's like this. Kotter and I searched the mountains and encountered a wolf. From it, we learned that it was hiding in the mountains with some animals. It also said that there were humans in the mountains. There was also another terrifying piece of news, which was that this place had already been occupied by the apes. They were killing humans and animals, and they were unable to fight back. While we were talking, two apes appeared with this man in tow. We thought this was exactly what you needed, so we joined forces to kill the two apes, save him, and bring him here.”
"Apes? How was this possible? This is unbelievable."
"Oh, right. There's something even more unbelievable."
"What else is unbelievable? Tell me quickly."
"The wolf said that this place had been ruled by the Kingdom of Balide for two hundred years and was recently occupied by apes. It also learned from its ancestors that this place was originally called Boston.”
"Boston?" Arias exclaimed. He could not believe his ears. "Isn't that where we live? How did it become the Balid Kingdom? How could it be occupied by apes? What's going on?"
"That wolf, oh, it's called Michelle. It said that it could not explain clearly. We thought this man could tell us something, so we brought him back.”
Arias was at a loss. He couldn't explain the unbelievable things in front of him.
The man gradually woke up. He was shocked by the large group of animals in front of him. There were lions and tigers. The animals advised him not to be afraid. They meant no harm, but he could not understand what the animals were saying. He was extremely afraid.
Arias ordered the animals to stay away from the man and walked straight to him.
"Don't be afraid. They don't have any ill intentions. They won't hurt you. You're safe here.”
The man's voice trembled. "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"My name is Arias, and I'm from Boston. I don't know what happened either. I came here for no reason. I know nothing about this place. I hope you can tell me something.”
"Oh, Boston. I have never heard of this name before. Even if what you said is true, how can I believe you? You might be a spy sent by the apes. I don't want to take the risk.”
"You've already taken a risk. Don't you remember being captured by the apes? It was my companion who saved you."
"Is that so? Then I'll express my gratitude. Other than that, I can't say anything else. I'm sorry."
"Alright then." Arias changed the topic.
"May I ask what this place is? What era is it now?"
"It's nothing. I can tell you. This place used to be the Barid Kingdom, but it no longer existed. As for the year, let me think. Oh, yes, it's the year 2610.”
"What is it? 2610? Did I hear wrongly? "Arias widened his eyes.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you having such a big reaction? Don't tell me you're from another planet." That person was also very surprised.
"Oh, no, no. I'm just a little surprised.”Arias felt a little lost. "My dear friend, I don't want to lie to you. I'm from 2010.”
"What is it? 2010? Are you saying that we've come to the future? I can't believe it's true!”
"Yes, it can't be wrong. We encountered some strange phenomena and lost consciousness all of a sudden. We don't know how we arrived six hundred years later. It's incredible. My hometown is in Boston, America. I run an animal hospital, and I live a very fulfilling life every day. It's not human society. Six hundred years, how could that be? It's really too shocking."
"Boston, America. Never heard of it. Perhaps our old leader has heard of it. He's more than a hundred years old, so he might know something. And…" He felt that he had misspoken and stopped talking.
"Why aren't you talking? I'm not lying to you. It's the truth.”Arias explained.
The man looked around. "What about them?"
"They are all my friends, and they are also from 2010.”
Arias turned to the animals and said,""Guys, let me tell you a big piece of news. We are now in 2610, which means that we are in 600 years.”
Wind and thunder rose from the ground, and the animals exploded. All of them were extremely surprised. They could not believe their ears.
"Arias, is this true? How did we end up here? We can't go home. It's too scary.”Many animals could not accept it for a moment.
" Yes, it's true. We're really in the year 2610, six hundred years later. This is no longer human society. Humanoid beings have occupied the dominant position. We've arrived in an unfamiliar future world.
The man opened his mouth in shock." You can understand animal language and talk to them?”
"Yes." "I was born with this strange ability," Arias said. They are all my friends, and I believe that they will become good friends with you or the two of you.”
"Oh, incredible, this is amazing. I really admire you."
"It's not admiration. It's just fate. Alright, let's not talk about me. Let's talk about you!”
The man seemed to believe Arias 'words. After pondering for a while, he finally made up his mind.
"My name is Madvidel, I was born and raised here. A few years ago, the apes took over this place. We had to hide in caves or in the dense forest to avoid the apes. The apes were too powerful. They clamored to destroy humans and all living beings in nature. They wanted to rule the earth. I am one of the central guards of the leader's guards. Today, I came out to scout. I don't want to encounter the apes and unfortunately become their prisoner.”
"Then how many people do you have? Hiding on this mountain?" Arias asked.
"There are more than two thousand people on this mountain. There are also some on the nearby mountains. I heard that there are also some in other places, but there aren't many of them. The number of apes is hundreds or even thousands of times that of us.”
"Is it that scary?"
"Yes, even lasers can't hurt them, and guns are a pile of scrap metal. Their weapons are only sharp weapons like swords and sabers, but their combat power is astonishing. Humans and animals can only avoid them if they encounter them. Otherwise, they will either die or be injured. We can only use some guerrilla tactics to catch our breath.”
"Can I see your leader? I don't think we'll go either. In order to survive, we can only fight side by side.”
"This? I have to ask the leader. I can't make the decision. I don't have the right.”
"Alright then! Go and inform them. We'll wait for you here.”
"Are you saying that I can leave now?"
Arias nodded.
"Alright, I'll go ask for instructions now. If the leader agrees, I'll tell you at the top of the mountain. Did you see that? If you reach the tree on the top of the mountain, the leader will agree to let you go up the mountain.”
"Alright, we'll wait for your good news here.”
Madvidel left.
Arias instructed Kerry to keep a close eye on the mountain and make plans based on the situation.
The tree on the mountain had arrived, and the leader had agreed to meet.
