Chapter 105 Contacting an alien civilization

Lu Yuan blinked and looked at the blurry city scenery.

He does not have the ability to dream, and lucid dreams are actually quite rare.

But he knew that dreams also had risks, and there was no point in messing around here, so he could only suppress his curiosity and quietly retreat.

In the exit, the dream became darker and darker.

The sunlight in the sky seemed to be blocked by something, and the dream turned into a nightmare.

The thick darkness made it hard to breathe, as if one would get lost in it at any moment.

"Could I have encountered an unusual phenomenon?" Lu Yuan gritted his teeth. The further he walked, the more frightened he felt.

He began to call upon the extraordinary fire in his dreams...the power of the fire was very weak and barely visible.

He quickly retreated, trying to leave the safe zone.

Something was staring at me in the darkness, and its gaze was getting colder and colder, as if it was going to swallow me up.

One circle.

Two laps.

Three laps.

No matter which way you go, you will end up back at the city square.

Lu Yuan was a little nervous and his heart beat faster. This sudden nightmare seemed to be quite severe.

But dreams are unpredictable, and his martial arts are meaningless here.

He walked to the bottom of the statue.

There is a painting of a foreigner here, and some incomprehensible words are written on it.

Was it written with chalk?

The eyes of this face are closed, and the face is even covered with hands. It is unclear what it is expressing.

"Damn, it keeps going around in circles, and there's something watching it."

"From now on, I will wake up directly when I have a lucid dream."

Fortunately, Lu Yuan had many methods. After thinking about it, he imitated the aliens and covered his eyes with his hands... The cold gaze became more and more intense.

One, two, three, it seemed like there were a lot of eyes staring intently.

From the bottom of his heart, he continuously called upon the Tree of Life.

This time there was finally a response.

An emerald green branch stretched out from nowhere, grabbed his consciousness, and pulled it hard! "Swoosh!"

This pull broke through the boundary between dreams and reality.

Lu Yuan woke up from his dream.

I touched my forehead and was covered in cold sweat.

"Huh... Damn, what's going on."

When I looked at the time, the sun was setting in the west. I realized I had slept for more than four hours, which was a bit too long.

"What did you sense... You seemed to be having a nightmare? You were sweating profusely." asked the old cat.

Lu Yuan walked out of the tent, washed his face with cold water, and looked across the river: "I can't tell...it seems that there really is a safe zone here."

"In my lucid dream, I passed the safe zone and came to a city of a foreign civilization. I saw various tower-like buildings."

"But there are no living creatures in the city, which makes people feel creepy."

The old cat shook his head and said, "It's normal that there are no living creatures. You don't have the ability to dream. Your lucid dream is equivalent to a stand-alone game. Can other people come in?"

Only the ability of dreams can turn a stand-alone game into an online game.

Unfortunately, although Lu Yuan has many divine skills, none of them is related to dreams.

Lu Yuan said it again, and his dream turned into a nightmare scene.

The old cat was stunned for a moment: "According to what you said, the possibility of the safe zone existing is very high. But there may be a monster here... Of course, it may not be an anomaly."

"If it was a vision, how could you escape so easily?"

"I think so too. It always feels too tense." Lu Yuan said this, but began to think about various possible battles.

He actually has quite a few fighting methods.

The third-level extraordinary fire brings enough confidence.

As for the divine skills, as the trump card in battle, it is better not to expose them rashly.

So he took out some items that might be used from the storage space in the tent, including the black iron suit, enough food for half a month, water, flint, fuel, etc.

There is also this tent - it can be used as a backpack as well as a tent, and it is considered Lu Yuan’s masterpiece of sewing.

There is also a thin layer of scaly black iron on the surface of the tent.

Because black iron has the ability to "hold on" and can isolate many idealistic forces, using the "storage space" under the protection of black iron will provide more privacy.

"35 kilograms of supplies... From now on, the storage space cannot be used easily."

With his physical fitness, he could probably bear to carry more supplies.

I also adjusted the things in the storage space.

Including the crossbow that was on the tread!

With just a flick of the trigger, the poisonous arrows ejected from the storage space could give the enemy a ruthless blow! These things, coupled with courage and combat skills, gave him full confidence.

"I thought of another possibility." The old cat suddenly said, "It is indeed possible that it is a vision, but the dream ability of this vision is actually not strong."

"But to be on the safe side, you'd better not have lucid dreams. No dreams, no harm."

The ability to dream can be very strong, but it can also be very weak.

The weakness lies in the fact that as long as the other party is not dreaming, there is nothing we can do... The extraordinary fire can burn a dream easily.

Lu Yuan took a breath and said, "Then let's stay here for 10 days. This arid land is too big for me to go around. I should rest and recuperate before starting the next stage of my journey."

"So after 10 days, if this civilization doesn't contact me, I'll just leave!"

"You are actually a very contradictory person." The old cat said with disbelief, "After 10 days, you will give me another 10 days. I bet."

Lu Yuan was silent.

After a long while, he finally said, "I'm a little panicked."

"What? Are you panicking?"

"My desire to go home made me embark on this journey," Lu Yuan said. "Along the way, I often hesitated because Pangu Continent is too big and I was afraid of accidents."

"Not to mention a vision, a poisonous insect could have poisoned me to death."

"Sometimes I just want to lie down in a safe place."

Lu Yuan added: "If the civilization here welcomes me to settle down, don't you think I should live here for a long time? What if they are very beautiful and meet my aesthetic standards? I am afraid that my confidence will be shaken."

"So I only gave them 10 days... Of course they might have all died... Well, this is what I really think."

The old cat also fell silent.

This guy had so much reason and evidence that it was speechless for a while.

"10 days only gives them more than two hours to react." The old cat waved his paw, "But your decision is reasonable. After all, you are just passing by. If this civilization doesn't contact you, you can still find the next one."

"There is so much civilization, it's like weeds."

"You, the traveler from the beginning of this era, are the real treasure."

Lu Yuan immediately frowned and tried to stop the old cat from saying that: "Don't set this flag, I beg you, I just want to find an alien civilization and chat with them casually..."

He thought of something again, took out a black charcoal pencil, ran outside the tent, and drew some charcoal graffiti on the metal ball.

These include patterns such as smiling faces, handshakes, fishing, and cars. After all, he is a crash artist and has the talent of a craftsman, so these things are painted very beautifully.

Then he placed a gold necklace on a nearby stone - naturally it was garbage picked up from the Meda civilization.

"Hey! If you want to contact me, hurry up! Don't hesitate there!"

"If you don't contact me, I'll leave!" He yelled a few words across the river.

"Old Cat, can you work on the radio?"

"Yes, I can..." The old cat got into the communicator and started fiddling with something, "But don't expect me to be able to decipher the other party's language in an instant."

…

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

…

The waiting time is always anxious, and 10 days passed quickly...

Nothing major happened during these ten days. I just went fishing, drank hot tea, played with marmots, wrote in a diary, and then slept in the tent for a day... and there were no nightmares.

Lu Yuan did not destroy the dream, but built a dream around the Tree of Life. He hoped that people with dream abilities would come into his dream, but in fact, no one did...

Time slips away silently.

The old cat was tinkering with his radio tool, a small thing he had assembled himself, with parts taken from the communicator.

There is also a magnetic generator, so it keeps shaking there, entertaining itself.

The old cat likes to tinker with electronic waste.

I have to admit that a short vacation is very good for relaxing your body and mind.

Lu Yuan really had a good sleep.

The weak-legged old wolf slowly recovered its lost vitality, and once again became an evil and crazy wolf, regaining its fighting spirit to rush into the distance! "Old Lu, there is still no radio signal, what a pity."

"I've already sent a series of normal sine waves. The other party should at least send back a series of sine waves, right? Are you that scared?"

The old cat felt quite happy about other people's misfortune.

"Since there is really no civilization here, let's go." Lu Yuan was speechless. He adjusted his attitude and knew that even if he had never gotten anything, he would not be disappointed.

Put the big backpack on your back.

The old cat twisted his body twice and said helplessly, "Really left? You only gave them 2.4 hours. Maybe they are in a meeting. You should understand that no matter it is a feudal system, a parliamentary system, or a dictatorship, there must be meetings."

"Even the great cat Mama has to waste a lot of damn opportunities in meetings...Ding--"

It was forcibly banned for violating the laws of robotics.

"2.4 hours, that's a lot." Lu Yuan sighed, "I haven't found anyone with divine skills to cross the safe zone to communicate with me, which means they are not a very powerful civilization."

"Or maybe this civilization doesn't exist at all. Staying here is just a waste of time."

"Come on, old wolf, let's cross this dry land together!"

However, as luck would have it, just as he was about to take a step and leave, he heard a mosquito-like sound in his ears.

“Ah…”

Very light...

Very slowly...

Slow as a sheep! Who?!

All of a sudden, Lu Yuan's eyes widened and he jumped up from the stone.

He looked around subconsciously.

And there was no one around.

The syllables vibrated into my ears one by one like tadpole writing, and it seemed that they would only vibrate once every half a minute.

"Gah~ding~oh~ga~ma!"

He was surprised and delighted. He listened for a long time and it seemed to mean "hello"? The ability of telepathy! Ignoring distance, ignoring race, and communicating directly.

"Hello--"

"He~Si~Dao~Gou" (Speak slowly.) Lu Yuan kept listening, wandering, jumping, stepping, and finally sighed softly.

This may be the result of time flowing 100 times faster.

It takes 10 seconds to say a word in the safe zone, but for Lu Yuan it was stretched 100 times to 1000 seconds.

But Lu Yuan's 100 seconds were only 1 second for the other party, so he had to speak very slowly!

What kind of communication is this?

It takes 20 minutes to say a word. I'm going to be anxious! Lu Yuan complained: "Just now a life form was transmitting sound to me. It might be telepathy, trying to communicate with me."

"Hmm... the telegraph machine is also responding!" The old cat fiddled with its machine in the backpack, "This civilization is qualified. As long as they are sane, they will never abandon the travelers passing by."

Lu Yuan panted: "But how can we communicate? This speed is too slow."

The old cat kept scratching himself and said proudly, "It's normal for you to be slow there. I can be very fast here. Electromagnetic waves can send a lot of information."

"As long as I have enough grammar, I am still quite capable. We have a built-in translation machine in our communicator..."

"The problem is that it's obviously impossible for the other party to send a lot of information."

"Okay..." Lu Yuan drawled out the words, looking across the river, feeling extremely annoyed.

He deliberately prolonged the tone: "Hello!"

"Ga~ding~ou~ga~ma!" (Hello!) The distance between us is not far, but it seems like a light year away.

Inside the safe zone and outside the safe zone are two different time and space.

You are on that side, and I am on this side.

Moreover, for some reason, a subtle sense of uneasiness arose deep in his heart.

As night falls, this uneasiness is slowly becoming more intense.

The extraordinary fire in the body was beating fiercely, and the frequency was obviously much higher than normal.

Lu Yuan stayed here for a full ten days, feeling very comfortable... but the nightmares he had in his dreams kept reminding him that there were monsters here and it was not without risks.

"If your sixth sense is very strong, you can leave here first." The old cat said, "Since we have already made contact, you don't have to rush for a day or two."

Lu Yuan nodded: "That's right, then let's stay out of the spotlight for now. I'll return to the primeval forest."

He made a few gestures in the direction of the river and said, "Well, I'll go first!"

The metal communicator is placed here. The parts inside have been hollowed out. It is just a metal shell and is not that valuable.

Then, he took the old wolf and walked towards the forest.

The water of the waterfall rushes down from great heights, and the rumbling sound echoes from ancient times to the present.

After crossing the waterfall, there were more trees and animals. The sound of birds singing, mice crawling through the fallen leaves, and the poisonous snakes, geckos, and frogs coiled on the branches gave Lu Yuan a subtle sense of security.
