Chapter 299: First Contact with the Natives of the Alien World (2)
When we returned to the village square, the sun was already setting.
The huge time difference will cause such an effect. It takes about ten minutes to mix a dish, but ten hours have passed here, from early morning to evening, and it will be dark soon.
She sat on an outdoor chair with her things on the folding table. In addition to the bowl of cold-mixed white mushrooms, there was also a hot roujiamo as her staple food.
Finally, he picked out a girl about his own age from among the unconscious people on the ground and woke her up.
The man slowly opened his eyes and sat up with a dazed look on his face. When he saw that he was surrounded by villagers lying, he remembered what had happened and screamed in panic, completely unaware that there was a stranger sitting at the edge of the square.
Ye Nai watched her patting this one, pushing that one, shouting while pushing, but no one woke up.
Seeing her becoming more and more panicked, after patting everyone around her and getting no response, she seemed to have accepted some terrible fact. Her shoulders slumped and she sat down on the ground again. She looked around blankly, and then finally made eye contact with Ye Nai.
"Halo~"
Of the few words Yenne could understand, she was sure this was a common greeting.
The girl was startled, and then she started talking a lot in an excited manner. Seeing her red face and thick neck, even if you couldn't understand what she said, you could tell that she was swearing quite dirty.
As she was cursing, just when she wanted to stand up, she finally realized that she couldn't stand up at all. Her legs were so soft that they seemed to be non-existent. She could only move a small amount with the help of her hands. She was so panicked that she kept pounding her legs and the ground. Finally, she realized that it might be the work of this stranger, and she raised her hands to her chest in a pleading gesture.
Of course she couldn't move. Yenna just wanted to wake her up and listen to what she said, not to make her jump around.
Ye Nai listened to her talking without stopping until now, but the only things she could understand were those few words that could not form a complete sentence.
She picked up the bowl of mixed white mushrooms and ate while motioning the girl to continue.
Maybe body language is universal in the universe. The other party just received Yenne's signal and started talking again.
Ye Nai listened while eating with an expressionless face. When her mouth felt too salty, she took a bite of the roujiamo.
Slowly, a miracle happened. I could understand more and more words, and gradually they were connected into sentences. Finally, I could roughly understand what the girl was saying.
The man kept saying one thing over and over again, asking her to spare all the villagers. They were just ordinary villagers who provided food, laundry, and sewing services to the military fort not far away, and they had never done anything evil.
Ye Nai put down the bowl of food, wiped his mouth, took out his computer, created a new document, and listed a few questions according to his own ideas to organize his thoughts.
Suddenly seeing such a large piece of metal furniture, the girl's eyes widened and she shrank even more.
Ye Na coughed lightly a few times, adjusted her vocal cords, and tried to make a sound.
"You, where are you?"
The pronunciation was uttered smoothly and there was no challenge to the vocal cord structure of humans on Blue Planet. The sentence structure was the same as babbling, starting with easy phrases.
The girl was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, "This is Bergen Village."
"What's that big house outside of Bergen Village?"
"Big house?" The man was stunned again, and then he reacted, "Is it the military fort? That's a military fort."
"Military fort, does it have a name?"
"I don't know. It's usually called Junbao Junbao."
"Military forts, how many are there?"
"One. Just this one."
"Outside the village, what is that?"
"There is a town, and there are other villages around the town. I don't know what is further away."
"How long has the fort been here?"
"It's been a long time. My grandfather's grandfather has had this for a long, long time."
"Has it been a long time, or is it new?"
"Every few years, someone would renovate it, and it would be used for many years."
"Do you know what that place is for?" "There are teleportation platforms inside, many of them, but I don't know where they go."
"Transmission platform, what's it for?"
"It's like teleporting to each other. You come out of this altar, enter another altar, and go to another place."
"No one left?"
"Stay? Didn't stay? Just go in and out, in and out."
"You only deliver food and water to the soldiers in the fort?"
"Yes, that's right. We only take care of them. Those who come out of the altar are not our responsibility."
“Don’t the people coming in and out of the altar ask you for food and water?”
"They ask the town for it, and the town will deliver it. We only take care of the food and drink for the soldiers in the fort."
The question and answer went smoothly. Ye Na was typing away, and the girl was looking at it secretly, wanting to know what it looked like, but she didn't dare to ask.
"Well, now that I've answered all your questions, can I stand up now?"
"No, I haven't finished asking."
"I don't know much, what else do you want to know?"
"Name, the name of the country?"
"If I tell you, can I stand up?"
"No."
"why?"
"No reason. Tell me the name of the country."
"I don't know. I only know the village and the town."
Ye Na nodded and woke up another middle-aged man.
When the man woke up, he started cursing and threatening Ye Nai that if she didn't let him go, he would whip her to death, strip her clothes and drag her to the town to be displayed to everyone.
The girl asked him to be quiet but he wouldn't listen. Besides, they were far apart and when one of them was talking, the other couldn't force her to stop.
Ye Nai learned from the girl's address that the middle-aged man was the village chief.
The girl shouted a few times but failed to stop the village chief. Instead, she was scolded. Then she lowered her head and remained silent.
Ye Nai did not stop him and let the middle-aged village chief point at his nose and curse him. Any words he cursed at became new words in Ye Nai's vocabulary, including some repeated rural swear words.
I have to say that the village chief is really strong. He slept for a whole day, had no food or water, but he didn't even get a stitch in the side when he scolded people.
The girl at the other end started moving again. She struggled to drag her uncontrollable legs, crawled past a few people, and pounced on a young child. She first picked up the child and shook him, but couldn't wake him up. Then she started to panic.
"Village chief, calm down. Don't you see that everyone in the village is unconscious? She is stronger than you and stronger than the soldiers in the fort."
The girl hugged the child tightly in her arms and used her loudest voice to drown out the village chief's voice. Because of the force, her originally yellow skin turned red and became yellow and red.
The village chief's voice stopped abruptly.
Ye Na looked at the girl with admiration. Young people’s brains work quickly.
"You are smart."
The girl trembled and fell to the ground begging for mercy.
"I don't know you, but you must have come from the teleportation platform. Was the military fort destroyed?"
"Yes."
