The tall and dense plant ecosystem, with giant birds larger than clouds occasionally soaring leisurely in the sky.
"Wow, is this Water Blue Star? Why... is it green?!"
Xiao Bai pressed her entire body against the porthole, looking at the scenery outside, and asked the question of the soul.
"As for this question..."
Zhang Chen was stumped by the question.
Indeed, this was a difficult question to answer.
Zhang Chen also didn't understand why his home planet, with over 70% of its surface being ocean, was called Earth.
While Water Blue Star, with over 70% of its land and dense vegetation, at first glance seemed like a jade pearl suspended in the dark universe, its name was precisely Water Blue Star.
It didn't have much water, nor was it blue...
"After all, the name of this planet was given by the indigenous people. When we get back to the ground, we can find some indigenous people and ask them!"
Zhang Wenwen quickly came to Zhang Chen's aid, diffusing the situation.
"Oh, oh, right!"
Xiao Bai nodded and didn't probe further.
"So the place we are in is spherical? I thought it was flat!"
"But... won't people standing underneath Water Blue Star fall off?"
Mo Ran pointed to the south polar region of Water Blue Star and asked.
Zhang Chen smiled awkwardly.
These questions, which seemed like common sense to him, were difficult for Mo Ran to understand.
Law of universal gravitation?
Mo Ran would ask what the law of universal gravitation was, how it was derived, how to prove it... blah blah blah...
Moreover, Zhang Chen was well aware of his own level. After graduating from university, he had basically returned all the knowledge he had learned to his teachers, and he truly couldn't explain it clearly.
"Of course not. If you're interested in physics, I can invite an excellent physics teacher to teach you!"
"Oh, right, the Apocalypse University now also offers basic courses in liberal arts and sciences. You can go and listen!"
Zhang Wenwen said with a smile from the side.
"Ai ya, that course, I have no idea what the teacher is talking about. It makes me sleepy just listening!"
Speaking of which, Mo Ran couldn't help but yawn.
"Yeah, there are a bunch of scribbled characters on it that I can't understand at all, and there are also formulas..."
"It's really incomprehensible. Why can't they just explain things clearly? What's the point of writing those things?"
Xiao Bai also pouted and said from the side.
"This..."
This time it was Zhang Wenwen's turn to be embarrassed.
Xiao Bai and Mo Ran hadn't even recognized all the characters yet, and their basic math skills were even more negligible. So it was indeed asking too much of them to learn physics.
"Ai ya, they're fighting over there!"
Suddenly, Xiao Bai pointed excitedly at the porthole.
"Enlarge the image!"
Zhang Chen commanded.
Soon, the image of the combat area appeared on the main screen of the bridge.
After the image was magnified, the tiny scene on the ground, almost indistinguishable to the naked eye, immediately became clear.
It showed a temporary defensive fortification, sheltering seventy to eighty survivors.
Outside, a dozen or so powerful survivors were struggling to resist the monsters' attacks.
Around them, dense, vast numbers of Fierce-toothed Beasts crawled all over the ground.
A type of wild beast possessing extremely sharp teeth and formidable biting force, about the size of a small car, covered in spines that could be launched, and with a keratinous accumulation at the end of its tail resembling a small hammer.
When swung, it was incredibly powerful.
"Mutated Type IV Fierce-toothed Beast... I'm afraid these people are in trouble!"
Zhang Wenwen narrowed her eyes and said.
Suddenly, her expression changed as she saw the emblem of the True God Sect on the cloak of one of the men resisting.
"They are missionaries from the True God Sect. These should be survivors that the missionaries have converted from outside the territory and are bringing back to the Prosperous Dynasty to submit!"
Zhang Wenwen said with slight excitement.
Previously, five hundred missionaries had voluntarily left the territory to go deeper into the continent to spread the teachings of the True God, convert the faithless survivors, and even bring them back to the Prosperous Dynasty.
However, only a few months had passed, and more than three hundred of the five hundred had gone missing.
More than a hundred encountered immense difficulties during their missionary work.
As of now, this survivor team was the only missionary among the five hundred who had successfully migrated an entire camp near the territory of the Dynasty.
"Since that's the case... let's help a little!"
Zhang Chen said indifferently.
On the other side, within the 100-kilometer zone bordering the Prosperous Dynasty.
Gao Rongfeng (character from Chapter 27 of Nuclear Peace World) had been very self-reproachful after "losing" Zhang Mo, but he quickly pulled himself together and embarked on the journey back to the Prosperous Dynasty once more.
In the apocalyptic world, coming together and parting ways, life and death are all too normal occurrences.
At least these dozen or so believers of the True God Sect, he couldn't afford to lose them again.
Gao Rongfeng proceeded with great caution all the way. Sometimes, when encountering bad weather or the passage of giant creatures, he would rather hide in place for a few days than risk moving forward.
Therefore, after such a long time, he led the team leisurely, and they were still 100 kilometers away from the border of the Prosperous Dynasty.
Along the way, he had absorbed another small-scale survivor camp.
Everything was going smoothly until they encountered a passage of Fierce-toothed Beasts here.
These creatures possessed extremely keen senses of smell. If it were raining, they could use the heavy rain to mask their scent and escape. However, these days had been clear, and the survivors in the camp were unwilling to use water to bathe.
Coupled with the hot weather.
As a result, the Fierce-toothed Beasts, which should have been ten kilometers away, had turned and surrounded them.
Mutated Type IV monsters were not frightening. Gao Rongfeng could even fight ten of them.
However, the number of beasts in this wave was too large, as many as three to five thousand Fierce-toothed Beasts.
Even if everyone in the camp had Gao Rongfeng's strength, they could only match about a thousand Fierce-toothed Beasts.
The remaining several thousand could easily devour them into nothingness.
"Old Gao, think of something! We're all going to die if this continues!"
"I don't want to die only a hundred kilometers away from the Prosperous Dynasty. We've come thousands of kilometers... I'm not willing!"
"Damn it, the defensive fortifications are being dismantled by these Fierce-toothed Beasts. Once we lose our barrier, we'll be completely finished..."
Everyone shouted while resisting the attacks of the Fierce-toothed Beasts.
"I can't do anything either. Ever since I lost that little boy last time, the True God has stopped responding to my prayers!"
"This might be the True God's punishment for me..."
Gao Rongfeng said with self-reproach.
"What time is it now? Hurry up and apologize to the True God, and pray again. The True God is benevolent and will surely forgive you!"
A survivor next to him shouted.
"Alright, I'll try. I'm sorry, True God, I was wrong. I sincerely apologize here and hope you can forgive me!"
Gao Rongfeng clasped his hands together and prayed quickly.
Buzz!
Suddenly, a beam of colorful light descended from the sky.
A man in ancient armor with shoulder-length hair, holding a battle-axe, appeared on the scene.
