Chapter 177 The undercurrent of missing my breath (12)
The director hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, "We will hate higher-dimensional creatures and do our best to fight for our freedom."
Lu Jian was not at all surprised by her answer. He continued to ask, "What if we are fighting alone and have nowhere to go? All our compatriots are dead, and there is only one human being in the entire universe, and we can no longer reproduce. The only outcome is extinction?"
She smiled, her dark pupils were clear and bright, and there was a faint smile on her lips.
The director's grandmother's hands trembled, and she looked at Lu Jian with a look of astonishment.
Is this a question a five-year-old could ask?
Her mouth was half open, and she didn't know what to say. Her nails pinched the back of her hand unconsciously, and she came to her senses only when she felt the pain.
"...I think I should think carefully about this issue." She hesitated.
"Then I'll wait for the director's answer." She bent down, "Then can my application be approved?"
"I think you are still young. If you go to a radiation zone, even with anti-radiation clothing, I can't guarantee that there will be no impact. And Jianjian, you are very smart and you understand what I am saying.
You are the daughter of the Prime Minister, you can’t get into trouble here, I have to ensure your safety.”
Lu Jian tilted his head and thought for a moment, "But have you seen him come to see me? There's not even any news."
She had never met the Prime Minister, and even the person who sent her here was a small clerk under him.
"Maybe he doesn't even know that the one with Gui Lan is me?"
What she said made the director's grandmother's nose sore, but she herself was obviously not emotional, and her tone was light, as if she was just stating a fact.
But she was not wrong.
Prime Minister Lu Xingling, who was far away on the main star, did not even linger on her face for a moment when he glanced at her.
The director finally approved her application.

After stepping over the rocks, the road became a little smoother.
When there was still one thousand meters away from the radiation zone, a two-meter-high sign was erected outside the red line.
——Radiation area ahead, please stop.
The red paint soaked into the soil, leaving glaring marks and indicating the danger of the area.
They put down their things, put on anti-radiation clothing, and then stepped into the radiation zone.
Lu Jian adjusted his breathing through the goggles and looked left and right, sizing up the area.
There is not much vegetation here anymore, and the ground is covered with sand. Occasionally you can step on some fish bones, which break into pieces with a crisp sound.
She and Mingying walked forward side by side, and no one spoke.
Soon, as the distance got closer, a vast ocean appeared in her sight.
The sea water was a light black mixed with grey spots. It was extremely turbid and deep. The surface of the sea was very calm, without any waves or fluctuations, like a pool of stagnant water.
"..."
She stood there, not saying anything for several seconds.
Then she gestured to Mingying, "I'll go over and take a look."
Mingying nodded.
Lu Jian walked to the edge of the sea and observed it closely.
The sea water seemed to be covered with a layer of paint-like substance, which was constantly moving but difficult to dissolve, just like pouring a pool of mud into a glass of clear water.
There wasn't even a dead fish to be seen on the sea surface.
The beach is littered with plastic waste and fishing nets, all of which have been abandoned for too long.
"This place has been a restricted area for many years." Mingying explained, "After the ocean was polluted, the migration plan was launched. It took thirteen years to salvage all the creatures in the ocean."
After a pause, she added, "Even if it's not completely salvaged, it's almost the same. Anyway, it is said that every species has left behind a genome, but as of now, many are still gone."
Do humans naively think that they can become creators by possessing the most advanced technology?
The Creator has his own laws, and he follows his own truth to create every child.
It creates life, allows all organisms to adapt, gives all organisms the opportunity to survive and reproduce, and creates a balanced ecology.
Such is the imperfection of the species.
For example, cows and sheep cannot have wings. They are too perfect, so no predators can catch them, and the food chain will be broken.
Humans’ blind spot lies precisely in their inability to replicate the imperfections of species they have never seen.
Human beings' pursuit of perfection can be seen thousands of years ago. They hope that they can be rich, powerful, and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. They pursue the perfect self and fantasize that they are the center of the world.
They will use their technology to make pork taste even better; genetically modify ordinary horses to give them wings; and use their ideas to shape the world, and now, into the universe.
Although Lu Jian is more inclined to the theory of evolution, she still takes a look at "Creation of the Gods".
Take the example of cattle and sheep not evolving wings. She personally believes that it is because they have not met the conditions for evolution.
Excluding situations similar to the extinction of dinosaurs, cattle and sheep still have hundreds of billions of years unknown to humans to evolve.
Mingying continued to narrate, "Later, the migration plan ended, and the marine life was sent to various planets in the universe. The radiation zone was closed, and only the mermaids remained here."
Later, all the mermaids died and only this one was left.
Lu Jian looked at the dark water and nodded, indicating that he understood what she meant.
Mingying looked at the sky and frowned slightly. "Looking at the weather, it feels like it's going to rain soon. Miss, shall we go?"
Lu Jian gestured "OK", then stood up, turned around, and returned the same way.
And from a small hole on the beach, a little turtle popped its head out.
It blinked its eyes, which were not even as big as green beans, stretched its neck to look outside, and saw only two humans who were wrapped tightly.
When it heard them talking, it quickly climbed out of the pit and crawled towards that side with a grunt. When it encountered a small slope, it shrank into its shell and rolled over, which increased its speed a lot.
It's so hard to see humans here, so it has to follow them, otherwise it will never be able to get out of this deserted place.
Ningqi is really Barbie Q, its birth was a mistake.
Forget about the turtle last time. Last time it was still eating watermelon outside the aquarium.
This time it came directly to the Dead Sea. God knows how it got here.
Moving closer, the little turtle stretched out its head and bit a corner of the anti-radiation suit.
As Mingying took a step, the little bastard took off her clothes as if he had hitchhiked, and was in high spirits.
Wuhu~
You can go out now and go find the host lady!
Whenever the world is punished, the birthplace of the system will be separated from the host, so the host needs to find the system to get the complete plot or task.
But when it came to Ning Qi, the situation was exactly the opposite.
Especially because the world is special, Ning Qi can roughly guess the situation faced by the host and its possible location through tasks, but for the host, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find it.
As long as the host lady can recognize it, there will be no problem.
The two people it was hitchhiking with were dressed so warmly, they were definitely not city residents. They should be people who were hanging out with the host lady.
Ning Qi's happiness ended a thousand meters away.
