Chapter 616: The Mouse Who Jumped into the Sea
Wang Yang must step on the footprints of the rats, because the area where the rats run is too large, and they are everywhere, and no matter where they go, they have to step on the corpses of the mice.
Unless, they retreat.
But it is definitely impossible to retreat, and Wang Yang's plan has never taken the initiative to retreat.
After getting off the tree, dozens of dire wolves had eaten their lunch, and then lay down on the corpses of the mice to rest, very comfortable, and when they saw Wang Yang and others approaching, they only raised their heads slightly, and ignored them at all.
Other animals are like this, they eat their own, anyway, there are mouse carcasses everywhere, and they are not afraid of not having enough to eat.
In this case, it was very easy to hurry, the beasts were all in the open, and they did not hide at all, they had eaten too much, and the attention of all the beasts was declining.
There is no need to hunt, and when I meet on weekdays, I have learned to greet each other when I meet today, for example, a few saber-toothed tigers will roar here and salute.
Of course, the main thing is to look at the saber-toothed tiger, and then look at its broken teeth.
Wang Yang suddenly found that it was not bad to move forward like this, the snakes were also full of food, eating like buckets, and there was nowhere to hide if they wanted to, Wang Yang estimated that they would not have much ability to resist if they attacked them at this time.
There is no need to dodge, there is no need to worry about being targeted, it is easy to move forward, and it is half a day to advance the distance that could only be advanced in two days before, or even more.
Wang Yang knew very well that what he had to do at this time was to speed up his pace, so he waved his hand and continued to move forward.
There were many dead rats along the way, and Wang Yang suspected that most of these rats were trampled to death by their companions, a serious stampede. There are only a few beasts, how many can you kill?
This face. It's really bloody, to be honest. It's also very convenient, don't worry about food, pick one up when you're hungry, bake it, sprinkle some seasoning, and you can eat it fragrantly.
Well, it's just that there are a lot of bones.
Don't worry too much about water, the last thing in the rainforest is water, and there is fog every morning. Take the opportunity to collect some, it's still very clear.
A day later, they were not far from the top of the hill, and there were far fewer corpses on the ground, so there should be no wild beasts here, and the rats could run forward in an orderly manner.
Another day, they came to the top of the hill and caught up with the rats.
This hill is also not in the range of the map, and the map is really limited. And it's a relatively distant place, and the map hasn't been transmitted to the other side of the forest, so it's relatively small.
But as long as there are mountains, it is easier. You can record it yourself and compare it at the same time.
"Let's move on to the next hill, don't you want to see what the rats are doing? Let's take a look. ”
A few people ran away. The speed of action is extremely fast, and it runs wildly following the tracks of the rats.
Chase until night. They are already in the community of rats, and at this moment they understand what is called rat mountain and rat sea. Wherever there is an empty space, there must be rats.
"What kind of rat is this?" Wang Yingying picked up a dead mouse and raised it for everyone to see, the rat's fur was light brown, a bit like milk light coffee, the abdomen was white, and there was a black markings on the back of the head.
It's a bit like the rats in the northern zone, with lighter fur, and it is likely that they are the rat species that migrated from the north, but there are not many natural enemies in this area, so they breed wildly, and after a period of time, it causes a rat plague.
Wang Yang pondered that these guys may be the ancestors of some modern mice, such as lemmings and hamsters, which look cute.
But these rats are not big, and the little ones are the top of the five of them.
"Keep chasing, as long as they follow the mountain, and they run east, let's follow."
At night, the rats got tired and began to gnaw on the wood, hundreds of thousands of rats gnawed together, and the sound was heart-wrenching and thunderous.
But what made Wang Yang feel very strange was that they didn't go to find food to eat, but just grinded their teeth for a while.
"What the hell are they doing? You can't migrate without eating. The three of them were puzzled.
Wang Yang frowned, and he had already seen a clue: "Perhaps, it is suicide." ”
"Huh?" The three of them shook their heads in disbelief, the ants are still stealing, not to mention the mice? It is impossible for ordinary animals to have suicidal consciousness.
The prerequisite for suicide is "self", and you must first understand that I am me and have self-awareness, and then you can say that you kill yourself, that is, suicide.
So the question is, are these rats self-aware? And if they did, why would they kill themselves? No one wants to kill themselves.
Self-consciousness is quite subtle and complicated, but it's not too difficult to say, it's just whether there is a mind or not.
Cells should belong to the concept of "me", which may not have the concept of "me", of course, this is speculation.
People must have thoughts, they have self-awareness, they can realize that they are a separate one, and because of this, people will make many choices when faced with the same thing.
First of all, man realizes that heaven and earth are different things from man, one is lifeless and the other is alive.
Secondly, I realized that animals are not the same as people.
And then I also realized that people are not the same from person to person, the simplest, the distinction between races, countries, and identities.
Therefore, because everyone is independent, has their own thoughts, and has their own personality, they have their own guidelines for doing things.
Some people are biased towards morality, some people are biased towards interests, some people are casual and free-spirited, and some people are well-behaved.
The same environment can create different people.
Many animals are not self-conscious, and most of them will retreat in the face of death, so that people can die generously and kill themselves.
Don't mention the moths, the moths didn't go to kindergarten, and although they went to put out the fire when they had nothing to do, they felt comfortable being close to the fire, and they got close and ascended to heaven.
It's an unconscious death, it's not that they think of something, they just do it, they don't even think about it, they don't want to, how can they have thoughts? How can there be self-awareness?
In other words, this self-consciousness is the soul, a very complex concept, but it can be understood by human beings.
In this Paleolithic Age, Wang Yang has seen the most self-aware wolf, it is different, the blade-toothed tiger is not counted, the little guy is not counted, the two of them are still a little bit behind.
Whether these rats are self-conscious, may or may not, Wang Yang really doesn't know, but it seems that there should be none.
"They don't have this awareness, but it's really possible that they're committing suicide, have you ever seen a migratory without eating? Isn't not eating a suicide? Wang Yang sighed.
The three of them nodded, feeling that there was some truth.
Whether it was suicide or not, Wang Yang's focus was not the focus, and after the chase, he came to another mountain, where he saw that the terrain in front of him was very similar to the one depicted on the map.
"Look, isn't it here?" Wang Yang hurriedly took the map to the other three.
The three of them looked at it and said, "It's very similar, let's go to the next mountain to confirm it." ”
"Okay." Wang Yang and the four of them immediately set off and rushed to the opposite mountain.
"Rustling ......"
The rats did not stop moving forward, and continued to move forward, rushing towards the front, and the sound became much louder.
Wang Yang and the others shook their heads when they heard this, no one knew where this group of rats was going, when they started their migration, it should not be too early, otherwise they should stop.
They must have thought that the forest was not enough to support them, so they moved on.
The army of millions of rats continued to advance, Wang Yang and the others followed behind them, and suddenly Wang Yang stopped, frowning: "Do you feel more and more thirsty the more you breathe?" ”
A few people nodded, their noses dry.
"I've drunk a lot of water today, why do I still feel so thirsty." Wang Yang frowned, feeling a little strange.
Outside the hill in the distance, there was a popping sound, the sound was very mixed, and I didn't know what was happening.
They continued on their way, and a day later, they reached the next mountain, and came to the top of the mountain, and as far as the eye could see, there was an open space between heaven and earth.
In the distance, the sky and water meet, and the sparkling water surface are connected together, which is beautiful.
The salty sea breeze blew in his face, blowing Wang Yang's long hair on his sideburns, with a laziness, blowing deeply into every pore of Wang Yang and blowing into his bones.
Suddenly the lazy mood emanated from the inside out, and I just wanted to sunbathe and take a comfortable nap.
"The sea~"
In the distance, there was a blue sea, and they came to the ocean, and for the first time, saw the Paleolithic ocean.
Sparkling, sea and sky meet, a clear blue!
The magnificent water, the vast ocean, and the vast sky fit perfectly to form a beautiful picture.
However, Wang Yang didn't have time to appreciate the beauty of the ocean, so he was pulled forward by Wang Yingying.
Ahead is a cliff, and countless rats are jumping forward one after another, and they go directly to the sea without saying anything.
Not one, not two, but countless of them, full of rats, jumping down, and there were more than a few hundred of them in the distance between the sea and the cliff alone.
The cliff is not high, only more than 20 meters, but these rats seem to recognize this place, they are about to jump into the sea, or they are going to commit suicide, like moths, they jumped down without hesitation, without hesitation.
"This group of rats is crazy, really crazy, how can they jump like this, isn't this suicide?" Little Red looked shocked.
She obviously couldn't understand why such a good animal would have suicidal thoughts, and it was a horrific collective suicide, and it wouldn't be so bad as a brain.
She has dealt with animals for so long, I have never seen any animal so stupid, I used to hear Wang Yang tell the story of waiting for the rabbit, she categorically denied it, no matter how stupid the rabbit is, it can't hit the stump by itself.
But now that she saw it with her own eyes, she couldn't figure it out. (To be continued......)
