Following the route he remembered, Shen Cheng came to Bu Lao's office and knocked on the door twice. As Bu Lao's voice came out, the door automatically moved open.
I saw that Mr. Bu's office was much cleaner and tidier. The books that were originally scattered all over the floor were all sorted out and organized. It was no longer like before where there was no place to put them.
The walls of the office were covered with murals that Shen Cheng had photographed, which showed how obsessed Bu Lao was when he was doing his research.
At this time, Mr. Bu was sitting behind his desk, proofreading documents.
Seeing Shen Cheng coming in, Bu Lao put down the documents and said with a smile: “Officer Shen, you are finally here.”
"Old Bu."
Shen Cheng nodded and greeted him, then asked, "Any results on the translation of the mural?"
“Got it!”
Bu Lao patted the table and said, "Officer Shen, please sit down first."
After Shen Cheng sat down opposite him, Bu Lao pushed a stack of documents on the table to Shen Cheng:
"It's right here. The mural records humanity's first battle against alien invaders. It's likely written in the transitional language humans used when they first developed civilization. It was used for a very short time, so there's no relevant record in history."
"The first time...fighting against alien invaders?"
"Yes."
Bu Lao smiled and nodded. "Moreover, it was a complete victory, not as tragic as imagined. Most of the alien civilization products we collected should have been scattered during this war."
"So... the truly brutal war was actually during the second confrontation?"
Elder Bu put away his smile, his face solemn, and nodded, "Yes, later, when our exploration team on the main peak was dealing with the Ice Phoenix wreckage, we also found some fragments from other eras that were related to the second battle against alien civilizations."
Lowering his head, Shen Cheng began to carefully look through the documents in his hand.
——As a huge crack appeared in the sky, countless huge invaders emerged from it, like flying insects covering the sky and the sun, but they had no wings, and just floated quietly in the sky, leaving us helpless.
Later, we found out that it was not a flying insect, but... an insect nest.
He scattered countless of his own insect eggs on our land, and the insect eggs turned into red humans. They were strong, invulnerable to weapons, and had great strength, but they moved slowly and could not match our leader.
However, their numbers were too terrifying, and we had no choice but to follow our leader and abandon our territory. Countless cultivated lands were occupied by these invaders, but we could do nothing about it.
As we retreated, more and more of our fellow tribesmen joined us, and we formed a huge tribe.
Although we seldom fought with those enemies, as we retreated step by step, food became our scarce resource. The weather became increasingly colder, and we walked on the ice, suffering from hunger and cold.
During this process, we also encountered fellow creatures of different colors from us. Some were black, some were white. We initially thought they were enemies, but after a lot of negotiations, we confirmed that they were also attacked by those enemies.
When we all lived together in a small space and saw that food was running out, we decided to fight these enemies to the end.
At this time, we met a huge beast. It looked like a snake, but had the claws of a bird. It also had no wings, but could fly in the sky. It told us that it was willing to help us fight against the enemy and destroy their insect nests.
Through him, we also learned about giant flying birds, giant turtles as big as mountains, tigers that can easily tear up boulders, and various wild animals that can also communicate with us.
With their help, we all united to fight against the invaders and take back our territory.
The content of the first fight against the invasion of alien civilization ends here. There is no exciting battle. It is just a simple record. We encountered a dragon and we took back the land, that's all.
Further on, there are fragments of content after the end of the first struggle.
"The war is over. We named the beast that helped us dragon and lived with it together."
This is a very normal thing. After all, we have fought side by side, and it is normal for us to survive together.
But after that, Shen Cheng’s brows couldn’t help but furrowed.
"...The process of taming dragons is difficult. They are unwilling to submit to humans and would even rather choose death."
tame?
"...After several generations of monarchs, we can confirm that consuming the flesh and blood of dragons and phoenixes does not bring immortality, but they still choose to continue to do so. It seems that this has become a tradition."
Eat...the flesh and blood of dragons and phoenixes?
Shen Cheng's expression gradually became ugly.
"Humanity will never be able to develop peacefully forever. Greed is the biggest variable that hinders the progress of human civilization."
Seeing Shen Cheng's expression, Bu Lao spoke calmly.
Shen Cheng silently raised the document a little, not wanting Mu Bing to see the contents, and continued reading.
The style of the latter part is completely different from that of the former, and it seems to be a record of the subsequent iteration of human civilization.
—Foolishness! Now those beasts have completely broken off with us! What good will this do us?
It can be seen that the recorder's subjective emotions were very strong.
After that, another person in the iteration records the recorded content.
——I saw a giant blue bird flying in the snow-capped mountains. It seems that the records of mythical beasts in ancient books are true!
Ancient books…mythical beasts…
In other words, according to this recorder, have the mythical beasts disappeared from human society?
"...This is the end of humanity. As far as the naked eye can see, the sky is full of cracks. Countless flying ships emerge from the cracks, summoning countless unarmored soldiers. These soldiers' bodies are comparable to armor, and their claws are like swords. Several generals were killed in the battle, and no soldiers survived.
I heard that a golden dragon appeared in the west and blocked a crack. I am aware of their existence, but... alas! Now we are fighting each other. If we could still be united as before, why would we be forced into this situation?
...The Ice Phoenix on the Snow Mountain died in the battle, but the cracks on the snow mountain were also blocked by him.
...The enemy seems to have seen the terrifying power of our unity. They have alienated us and even instigated some of the divine beasts to rebel. Could it be that... we are about to lose?"
This is the longest and final record in the fragment.
The war recorded in the records was undoubtedly extremely difficult and tragic, but it can now be proven that humans won that war.
But...how did humans win?
