Chapter 43: A Crucial Step on the Road to Civilization

Where is the road?

At this time, what is the point of asking this kind of question again?

Wang'an's mood was slightly complicated.

When this question popped up for the first time before, he thought that the prairie ape was about to develop into a civilization, so he was happy and excited, and he was about to take out the treasured red wine given to him by the bald boss Chen Xi and open the bottle as a celebration.

Then, the bottle of red wine stayed in his room until today.

He waited for the steppe apes to develop into civilization, and waited until today, now.

Now, the same problem arises again.

At this time, the steppe apes were on the verge of extinction, and it was almost impossible to say that they would develop into civilization again.

"So...... Do you want to say that I made the wrong choice in my heart before, and now give me a chance to choose again?"

Come to think of it, the previous steppe apes all followed the direction of mechanical technology.

The most suitable choice for them should also be "A: the road is under your feet", down-to-earth, and walk to the top of civilization.

Looking at the decreasing countdown, and the dazzling three choices, Wang'an smiled:

"Is it too late to re-elect now?"

He stretched out his hand and replied firmly:

B: The road is in my heart.

"If you are wrong, you will simply be wrong! If you can't open up a new future in your mistakes, even if you can survive if you are right, it is better to fight hard, and it's a big deal to start over!"

……

Ulla is dying.

It is no different from death.

In the brain, which can gradually stop thinking, a question slowly floats.

"Is that the end of it?"

"As a mistake, a sin, a lowly ape. ”

"Vodka wants to walk in every landscape in the world, his road is under his feet, and at that time, I seem to say, my way, in my heart. ”

"...... in the Heart"

"What's there?"

With the last vestiges of consciousness, it listened to the faint and extreme sound of its heartbeat.

In front of me, it was pitch black.

It doesn't have any extra energy to provide to the vision.

But in that darkness, a slightly trembling heart gradually emerged.

It is first sketched in a simple stroke, then added to the details, applied in color, and becomes a real, living heart.

"Heart...... What's inside?"

Ulla had only one thought left, faint and small......

But tenacious.

Heart, gradually getting bigger.

No, it's the perspective that is getting closer.

Getting closer, getting closer......

From approaching, to entering.

A faint blue flame burned quietly in the heart.

As if a new energy had been injected into the body, Ula's almost completely stagnant mind suddenly worked:

In the heart, there is a flame.

The fire in the heart is the fire of life.

When it is vigorous, life is vigorous.

It's weak, and so is life.

It is life.

No......

It burns life!

It's like five thunderbolts hitting the top, the angry waves are deafening, and it is enlightened.

"If it's burning life, then, my body...... Is there a finite amount of life left to continue burning?"

Ula's mind flashed with madness, it wanted to protect its people, protect the ape race, even if it burned its own life!

There is no wind flowing in the heart.

The blue flames swelled in the wind, orange, red, and flames emerged, covering the blue flames!

Among the ape corpses in the horizontal pile, Ulla opened her eyes suddenly, and what flashed in her eyes was red fire!

Swish!

Soldier A jerked his head and looked in the direction Ulla had fallen.

"What's wrong?" asked the other soldier.

"I just felt a fluctuation of energy, not like magic, but ...... It's strong!"

It was so strong that even if he had never been exposed to that kind of energy, he was keenly aware of it, and he couldn't help but tremble.

Plop, plop......

The beating of the heart, getting stronger and stronger, attracted the attention of all the soldiers.

They were shocked to see that the old man Ape Ula, who should have died, or was about to die, actually supported the ground with his hands and slowly stood up!

It has a large hole in its abdomen that runs through the front and back!

In the big hole, there was no blood or internal organs.

And the flames flowed.

The blue flames spread out from the hole, gradually burning out the long hairs and covering the whole body, like a translucent film.

After the dark blue, it is orange-yellow, and it is red, covered in layers, and gradually brightened.

"Shoot!" shouted one soldier without hesitation, and all the soldiers turned their guns and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Gunshots rang out in unison.

Ulla......

But unscathed!

Tick, tick.

The warhead melted, turned into a red, burning liquid, and dripped into the ground.

All the soldiers watched in amazement.

All the players and spectators watched in shock.

Forget about blood and fire.

Forgot about heartbeat and breathing.

Wang'an also stared at this scene blankly.

He may have been right.

The apes are about to embark on an incomparably powerful path.

"Congratulations, you made the right choice at the right time, and the race has taken a vital step towards civilization. 」

"Race Trait Upgrade: "Children of Fire" has been upgraded to "Children of Fire". 」

"Son of Fire?"

Wang'an chewed these three words gently, just as he chewed on "son of fire" more than a week ago.

Trait - Son of Flame: The fire in the heart is the fire of life. If the flame exists, life remains, and when the flame is extinguished, life is extinguished. When the mind can affect reality, the fire in the heart will overflow and turn into a nightmare for all things in reality.

After reading the description of the new feature, Wang'an smiled.

"Son of Fire, Son of Fire...... Will there be any sons of Yan and Yi in the future?"

"I didn't expect that...... The choice should be made at the right time and at the right time. If I had chosen 'the road under my feet' at that time, would this group of apes have developed technology very quickly and quickly cultivated into civilization?"

He finally understood.

The choice of cultivating civilization is a step in the direction of one's own heart's hope.

The steppe ape was already on the way to becoming a mechanical civilization, but when the ape race was about to become a civilization and was just one foot away, he modified the requirements:

From mechanical civilization to spiritual civilization.

Of course, civilization has not been cultivated for a long time, and the red wine used for celebration has not been opened to this day.

"If I had cultivated civilization one more time, I wouldn't have spent so long...... In a few days at most, I can cultivate a group into a specific civilization!"

Wang'an smiled happily, laughing at himself, happy, and relieved.

The first time, it's always used to learn from experience, wasting time, taking detours, and that's normal.

But when the experience is in hand, everything in the future will come naturally!

He looked at Ulla, whose body was constantly scorched and withered in the burning flames, and his smile slowly converged.

"I'm sorry...... Toss you for so long. ”

……

The soldier is going crazy.

They had never seen such freaks before, the ammunition melted when it hit, let alone the long swords, and even the armor on their bodies was forced to take off-

As soon as you come into contact with Ula, it melts instantly!

What kind of monster is this?

They were terrified.
