Chapter 71: UFO Descends (2)

After hovering over the valley for a while, the disc-type aircraft seemed to be planning to land. At first it expanded its hovering range and then began to reduce its flight altitude. Until the bottom of the flying saucer was less than twenty meters away from the ground, a thin blue beam of light was silently shot out from directly below the flying saucer. When the bright beam approached the ground, it suddenly bloomed, forming an aperture of about ten meters in diameter on the surface. This aperture, which flashed with blue light, was so dazzling and complex that it reminded people of the legendary magic array.

The light of the aperture increased instantly, and the brightness that increased suddenly gradually decreased and weakened. The survivors looked nervously and saw several upright creatures with similar human appearances that had appeared in the mysterious aperture not far away.

Faced with the mysterious things that were completely unknown, the survivors of the Peach Blossom Land who had no time to retreat into the cave instinctively took a few steps back. Only Wu Han was still standing there, and he stared at these uninvited guests quietly.

These humanoid creatures suspected of aliens are not as dry and thin as the classic little green men described in Hollywood science fiction blockbusters. In fact, their average height is only slightly shorter than ordinary humans. Although they must not be related to the word burly, they do not make people feel as skinny as Egyptian mummies. These passengers who came out of the UFO were all wearing integrated space suits. The transparent mask with a reflective layer on their heads made the survivors unable to see the true face of these UFO passengers, which undoubtedly added a bit of tension and depression at the scene.

After coming to the ground, he first turned his head back and forth several times, and then among these flying saucers, the "person" in the middle raised his arm and pressed a button on his chest. A voice with a clear electronic synthesis charm and full of stiffness sounded in the ears of human survivors:

"Hello, Earthlings. We are here for peace and prosperity, and we are not hostile. Please do not make any threatening moves. We will reserve the right to use weapons to defend ourselves."

When Wu Han listened to the aliens' diplomatic rhetoric that seemed friendly and friendly but actually had murderous intent in his bones, he secretly wiped out a cold sweat. For those who could not predict their course of action, no one would feel afraid. Fearing unknown things is a human instinct deep in the heart. It has nothing to do with courage or cowardice in his personality. I don't know that only the dead are afraid of. Others can retreat, but as the leader of the Peach Blossom Land, Wu Han's basic obligation includes standing up for his subordinates. If Wu Han retreats and becomes timid at such critical moments, then he will never think that he will be convinced in his life.

Thinking that someone would come forward to solve this problem sooner or later, Wu Han silently tried to convince himself to calm down. Later, he stabilized his emotions, took a few steps forward, and then said:

"Welcome to the earth, where do you come from?"

When Wu Han began to talk to these mysterious guys who had just come out of the flying saucer, the survivors who were originally standing nearby woke up. Most of them made a wise choice between curiosity and safety. They gave up the temptation to continue watching the fun and immediately blew away the soles of their feet.

You know, not everyone has the courage to come forward and chat with unknown aliens. Third-rate tabloid news such as the arrival of an alien flying saucer and then kidnap Earthlings for anatomical tests is truly a condiment for people in the world to have fun after dinner. Regardless of whether such news is made up by those insignificant journalists, in order to seek sensationalism and increase subscription volume, or is it true, when the survivors of Peach Blossom Land suddenly recall the descriptions of the clips, they still feel a little creepy.

It is an indisputable fact that humans are instinctively afraid of unknown things. The timidity of survivors is definitely human nature. On the contrary, Wu Han's bold actions seem unusual.

To be honest, Wu Han's feat of standing up was not because he believed that these aliens came to achieve peace in the universe. The real problem is that since they are blocked at the door of the Peach Blossom Land, survivors cannot learn the ostrich tactics and put their heads into the sand, just treat it as if they can't see it? Since it is a knife to stretch its head, a knife to shrink its head or a knife, Wu Han would rather show more courage than do such cowardly things and leave a laughing stock.

"Our ancestors lived on the second planet of this star system, the planets you Earthlings called Venus. For some reason, we are homeless and we are wandering interstellar merchants."

The first question asked by the opening, Wu Han wisely chose to ask about the identities and origins of these uninvited guests, but compared with some of the answers he expected, the other party's answer was obviously more shocking and confusing.

Could it be that these aliens actually came from Venus adjacent to the Earth? This explosive news really made Wu Han's eyelids twitch when he heard it. At this moment, he didn't have time to think too much, so he immediately asked:

"What are you going to do when you come to Earth?"

"Trade, we need something on the earth and hope to trade with you."

The attitude of this group of Venus visitors was very frank, and it could be called answering questions and at least sounded sincere. Wu Han stared at their every move with good eyes, but his heart was already thinking about it.

The blessing of making big movies in Hollywood is familiar with all kinds of cruel and cunning aliens. This kind of subtle propaganda is indeed very far-reaching. Even those survivors of humans who have not escaped, they dare not believe the words of these aliens, and they will not relieve their inner vigilance because of their friendly attitude. Confusion and fear constitute the basic understanding of aliens. In essence, Wu Han is a very suspicious guy, but he can suppress those irrational ideas with rational thinking so that he will not leave a gloomy and cold impression.

It’s like the group of aliens who claim to be from Venus. As of now, their every move is polite, which is truly a model of friendship for interstellar peaceful interactions. Although Wu Han couldn’t believe that they told the truth 100%, at least this friendly attitude is very beneficial to the survivors of Peach Blossom Land, and there is no need to find out the other party’s old background now.

When Wu Han thought of this, he laughed heartily and said:

"We are willing to accept all fair and reasonable transactions. I wonder what you want?"

When the conversation came to the point, the Venus seemed to be serious. The Venus in the lead continuously pressed the buttons on the chest. As the dazzling white light shone, a realistic picture similar to a holographic projection was immediately presented to the survivors. This was a spectacular scene composed of colorful flowers. Although Wu Han was sure that he had never seen such a large-scale flower field with his own eyes, the content of the aliens played made him look familiar. Wu Han seemed to have seen such a flower, but he suddenly had a knot and couldn't remember it.

Before Wu Han could figure out the causes and consequences, the Venus's stern electronic synthesized sound rang again, as if to explain the difficulties to the survivors:

“…The complex alkaloids from this plant are called opium by you earthlings.”

The beautiful petals of this plant are absolutely colorful and have been planted as ornamental plants for a long time. The immature capsule of the poppy contains a large amount of white juice rich in alkaloids, which can extract addictive and strong narcotics, which have also prompted the poppy to become notorious. This concentrated extract obtained from the poppy capsule juice is the famous opium. The two Opium Wars and the title of East Asia Sick Man caused by the Opium Problem have closely linked this substance that was originally intended for medicinal use with the century-old national shame of China. Therefore, the infamous name of opium is truly well-known.

With the continuous advancement of refining technology in later generations, new products that further purify opium were born, which are strong narcotics including morphine and heroin commonly known as No. 4.

Compared with traditional opium, these juniors are more addictive, and of course they are more harmful. Therefore, poppy is called the name of devilish flowers by humans.

In the pre-war era, it is conceivable that poppy, such a harmful plant, is absolutely not allowed to be planted at will. Even if it is a small amount of ornamental plant, once the number of planting exceeds a certain limit (this limit is usually calculated by the plant), the grower will inevitably be invited by the police to have a cup of tea. If the circumstances are more serious, he must prepare to eat a prison meal for several years or get a peanut.

In this wilderness of the collapse of order, the country, government and laws are all the best tomorrow. Of course, survivors who are in danger of peace don’t care about drugs or drugs. Think about it, people are even having food these days. Isn’t it your own to die if anyone takes drugs? But these aliens are actually interested in opium, which is shocking.

Unable to guess at all what these aliens have intent to demand opium. Wu Han pondered for a moment and said cautiously:

"It's a pity that we don't have poppy seeds, so there's no opium."

In the eyes of those who have nothing to do, Wu Han is undoubtedly planning to refuse to cooperate with these aliens in a more tactful way. Of course, Wu Han really didn't think so. If the situation permits, he really hopes to get some new weapons and technologies from the aliens that the Earthlings had never had. The main problem now is that poppy was not a widely planted crop in the pre-war era, and there were no poppy seeds in the Peach Blossom Land, so of course it could not provide the opium that the Venus needed.
