"Emperor Shah Jahan, after completion of Taj Mahal, ordered his soldiers to cut the hands of all 20,000 workers so no other building like that could ever be erected. Even after those poor people worked tirelessly for 20 years, the Emperor didn't trust them. Then how can we expect the Queen to trust us? As even I don't trust her.

Zhang Heng now could roughly guess that he was at the end of 2BC. At this time, Rome was in a bad state. After the death of Commodus, the empire would soon fall into a long period of civil war. But for now, with a territory spanning thousands of miles, a fifth of the world's population still came under the rule of the Roman Empire. It was indeed a veritable empire.

Right after his assassination, his son Octavius inherited the throne. The first thing he did was eliminate his political opponents and two allies (Yes. You read it right. It was the same pattern.) He then established the Principate, officially entering Rome into the age of empires.

I had the choice of selecting a region and all the regions were available to me but what caught my eyes was the "random". Trait points were something I would covet eagerly as I know their worth from the games I have played and fanfictions I have read. I was an avid fan of House Baratheon, especially Stannis Baratheon. The man had the conviction of a true king and his will was as hard as a steel door. However, these trait points were something that could be very useful for me as I'm sure I was going to struggle to survive. Besides, Stormlands and Crownlands were still amongst those random regions so with a little bit of luck everything could happen.

"Dirty-minded Yu, you need to brush up on your biological knowledge, penguins are not a species of fish…" A voice rang out. She frowned. She was familiar with this voice but it should not have appeared here. Was she hallucinating? "Penguins are mammals!"

'Closer, I need to get closer.' Gu Jun frowned. The sculpture was definitely a key clue. It was the idol that the Inuits worshipped. 'Is it similar to the one worshipped by the zombies? The ball of shapeless darkness venerated by Ol' Uncle Dog, Chen Defa, and the rest of the villagers?'

"Zombies." Xue Ba provided a nugget of esoteric information. "As all of you know, they come from Arabic urban legends. Apparently, they have the ability to morph into other animals, especially hyenas, so in the legends, zombies have human bodies and dog faces. They would trick unsuspecting people deep into the desert before killing and feasting on them. It's all real. I'm not kidding."

The illusion started to shake, like static going through, but Gu Jun could still see some of the images. The icy voice made it feel like the dark sky was about to fall. Those people in black and red were still kneeling before the tree. They did not raise their faces that were slowly morphing into one, not even to glance at the tree hole before them. It was as if once they did, they would lose their mind and sink into the endless hallucination forever. It was a dangerous temptation, like Orpheus going to the underworld to save Eurydice, and Hades telling him not to look back, but when they crossed the gate of hell, Orpheus could not resist the urge to glance at his wife, and for that Eurydice was pulled back to hell for all eternity. Or like how, when Abraham and his wife were escaping from the God of Destruction, Sodom, Abraham's wife turned back to look and was instantly turned into a statue of salt. When God told you not to look, you'd better not look. Humans were never supposed to test God.

But the lungs of birds were different. It had a front airbag, lung and rear airbag, each of these three parts having a clear division of labour. The lungs were only responsible for letting air through. In this way, fresh air could continue to come and go to the lungs at a constant speed. Oxygenated air would pass through the lungs with a single breath, maximizing efficiency. This was the so-called "double breathing" of birds.
