Chapter 169 - 169 The Eve
In the dark night, a collector differentiated from the rhizome, but it did not do anything. It just stood quietly on the huge rhizome like the ground and stared up at the night.
Without the pollution of the fire of civilization, the night sky is particularly bright, and the stars cover the whole sky, which is a beautiful scenery that is difficult to see in those big cities on earth.
[Huo Gu, what are you looking at?]
The collector was basically arranged by Huo Gu to hide in the shelter built by Hao. This collector simply boarded Huo Gu's organic organisms.
"Look at the stars."
[...I remember that the collector's visual ability is not outstanding, right? Isn't it better to observe celestial bodies using other organisms?
The collector's observation function is not strong. After all, in the original intention of manufacturing, the positioning is only 'labor', and the strength is only endurance.
If you want to observe the operation of celestial bodies, you can use organisms that specialize in receiving electromagnetic waves for observation. The observation efficiency of using collectors is extremely low.
So I feel very strange about this.
"I'm not trying to get information, I just want to see more."
Huo Gu's gaze on the condensed starry sky showed a trace of unclear color.
"If you don't look at it now, you won't see it in the future."
[???]
[What happened?]
[The aliens should not have found our plan yet.]
"No, don't be nervous. It's not a matter of aliens. I'm talking about other things."
"When it comes to aliens, we will fight with their fleet in a few days."
When Huo Gu mentioned this, he felt a strange fluctuation emerging from his mind.
"Ming, are you nervous?"
This is how Huo Gu interprets this strange fluctuating mood.
[This... In Huo Gu's words - I'm always a little unsteady.]
Afraid of failure, don't want to fail - this is my idea.
Huo Gu's situation is not incomprehensible. This is the first time that it has been the leader of the plan. In the past, it was either done alone or cooperated. It was the first time in his life that it was pushed to the center as a leading situation.
"If you are not in a good state, you are more likely to have an accident."
"Don't be a burden. If there is an accident, I will help you remedy it."
[Well, I know.]
Although it still has an emotional influence, it has calmed down a lot compared with before. The analogy is equivalent to the difference between the wind and waves and the ordinary tide.
He remembered his purpose of coming to Huo Gu.
[By the way, Huo Gu, do you have that kind of... er, distant goal?]
[No, no, no, it doesn't seem to be called that...]
[How to say...]
The expression is very messy. Although there is a life field that can ignore communication barriers, if the meaning expressed at the beginning is ambiguous, even the life field will be very weak.
Huo Gu summarized the piecemeal information expressed through a tentative inquiry.
"Are you trying to say 'great ambition'?"
[Yes, that's it.]
"Why do you suddenly want to ask this?"
[I got a lot of knowledge and information from aliens before. When I helped sort them out, I saw some incident records of aliens.]
This piece of information successfully aroused Huo Gu's interest.
"Event record? Tell me about it."
[In the early days of alien civilization, there are some large creatures that have the ability to crush alien individuals far. They can go to the sky and the underground sea. They can use a variety of chemical attacks at the mouth. They like to abatch female individuals with extremely high status in the alien civilization and imprison them in their own nests.]
"For food?" historical
[...It doesn't seem to be.
][In a word, after the alien settlement was attacked by this creature, the female alien's spouse began to embark on a journey to rescue the captured female. After experiencing various encounters, the power will be enhanced under the interaction of experience and multiple factors. Finally, the large creature will be defeated or killed, and the imprisoned female will be rescued... ]
[...After returning, he became the highest person in power and status in civilization.]
Why do I always feel that this alien's 'event record' is so familiar? - Huo Gu felt a little puzzled, but he still thought about it carefully.
"So what does this have to do with 'great ambition'?"
Huo Gu thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of what this 'avelation' had to do with it.
[Don't you think that the male alien dares to challenge the enemy with a great power gap is a great thing in itself? He knew that he could not win, but he still chose to challenge, because he set himself the goal that was almost impossible to cross.]
When describing it, Mion's mood was a little excited, and it seemed that the record of this incident made it very excited.
However, Huo Gu didn't feel any about it.
"That's 'heroic' plus 'opportunity', which is still a nice name. The bad thing is 'impulsive' plus 'luck'. The final result is 'accidental', which is a matter of probability, and has nothing to do with 'necessity'."
"And I think this doesn't seem to have anything to do with 'great ambition', right?"
Huo Gu still didn't understand why he thought of 'great ambition' because of that - because of different thinking modes, so his understanding is also different?
Probably because the radio wave didn't match, he gave up the explanation and forcibly reversed the topic to the previous problem.
[So, Huo Gu, what is your lofty ambition?]
[You must be so powerful, right? Tell me.
I'm looking forward to it. Huo Gu can feel its mood. It seems to have been sure that Huo Gu has this kind of thing. At the beginning, he was not thinking about whether Huo Gu had it, but what Huo Gu's 'great ambition' was.
It's hard to be so merciful, and Huo Gu is not easy to refuse. He thought for a moment and answered.
"Well, in fact, I also have lofty ambitions."
"That is - live forever."
[That's...this?]
If the image is described, it is probably equivalent to a basin of cold water suddenly extinguishing the flame.
"Well, that's it. The longer I live, the more scenery I can see. Maybe I can touch these in person in the future, instead of looking at it as simply as now. I can't bear to give up this opportunity."
Huo Gu took it for granted that it was its initial goal, which was always like this.
[But this is too...]
"Small?"
[Isn't it?]
As the collector of Huo Gu's boarding body, he shook his head slightly, and the micro-action of human thought acted on this organism.
"You will think so. You don't see enough things."
Huo Gu once again focused his attention on the starry sky above his head. Compared with the vast night sky, the collector under the canopy of the stars was as small as dust.
"One day you will find that even if you just want to live..."
"...It's also so difficult."
