Chapter 719: Change
Fang Tao didn't insist anymore.
In the afternoon of the same day, they packed up and left Tianchi.
If it was before, they might have been very nostalgic for the Tianchi monsters, but now they have seen too many strange things, and they themselves have mutated, so they will not have to explore the monsters as before.
What's more, they now have two more real children in their ranks.
Liangliang and Nuan Nuan's physical strength are enough, but after all, people have short calves, especially Nuan Nuan, who seems to be on the verge of mutation.
Cheng Jiayi only had yellow and green crystals in their hands, and Nuan Nuan had never absorbed the crystals, Cheng Jiayi taught them once, and Nuan Nuan didn't know the essentials, so Cheng Jiayi didn't dare to try.
Nuan Nuan still remembered the particularity of her blood, and quietly asked Cheng Jiayi if she wanted to drink some.
And now, Nuan Nuan's blood doesn't seem to be so special, at least, in their group, no one has expressed more curiosity about Nuan Nuan.
Perhaps, with the increase of mutation time, all emergencies will slowly disappear, and society, as well as people, will slowly approach calm.
The mutation is just a mutation in the long river of history, a sudden evolution of human beings, maybe it is really because of the flipping of the sunspot magnetic pole or something.
They studied it, but returned the way they came, hoping to find another harvest at the giant bird's corpse.
After only one break in between, they returned to the place where they had hunted the giant bird.
In less than two days and two nights, the body of the giant bird has become a skeleton, and even the skeleton is crawling with unknown insects, and some wild beasts have bitten the bones of the giant bird and sucked the bone marrow.
And at this moment, there is an endless stream of insects and ants crawling into the bones of the giant bird.
"That's how fossils are formed." Cheng Jiayi looked at the giant bird skeletons densely packed with insects and ants in the distance.
"There is an infinite amount of time to form fossils. At that time, it was not necessarily who ruled the earth. "Du Yiyi.
"How can there be no fish that slip through the net? It will always take a long time for a group to die, unless it is a virus for this group, which is genetically modified. I thought that human beings would not become extinct, at most there would be a disconnection of knowledge and a severance of civilization. Cheng Jiayi said.
Du Yiyi shrugged, "And then from the Stone Age?" The beginning of a slave society? Then archaeology suddenly discovered how primitive people thousands of years ago could master astronomical knowledge and how could they know about metal forging? ”
Du Yiyi sneered: "There will definitely be people who will live, if you live, get married and have children, will you be willing to continue the past civilization?" ”
Cheng Jiayi was stunned and said, "I will definitely tell them everything I know, don't you tell them?" ”
Du Yiyi smiled, but for some reason, Cheng Jiayi felt that there was cruelty in that smile.
"Do you think that you will tell your descendants that you once lived in a very civilized and prosperous era, but unfortunately, you were lost by yourself, and you can only leave a primitive standard of living for future generations? Are you sure you're going to tell it without a bit of prejudice or hatred? ”
Will it? Cheng Jiayi's heart was empty for a while.
"That's why there are myths and ......legends," Cheng Jiayi said softly, "It may not be a myth, it's just unbearable." ”
Yes, they don't want to talk about the good peace of the past now, and in the future, if they can really only live in the primitive era of the future, will they still give future generations the reality that they hate so much?
Maybe not, maybe it will, who knows.
"Let's wait until we all live." Cheng Jiayi sighed lightly.
Fang Tao led the people down to inspect the corpse of the giant bird, but he was helpless in the face of countless insects and ants. These insects and ants were burned, and they didn't taste delicious, but it was not yet time to satisfy their hunger with insects and ants.
Cheng Jiayi and Du Yiyi's discussion and sigh were also regarded as moaning without illness. People have become more and more realistic, in such a realistic environment.
They all know that they are still alive and how long they may live, no one can say for sure.
Seeing too much death, who would think about the future.
In the following days, they began a massacre in the forest. Start around the corpse of the giant bird.
Fang Tao unreservedly taught the tracking method to everyone, and even Nuan Nuan listened with his eyes wide open and his ears pricked up.
Sharper eyesight, hearing and smell than before, and even faster responses than before, make the team cooperate more and more tacitly when hunting.
It's just that they won't get as many crystals as before after all. Everyone couldn't help but think of their city, and those living people were once seen as crystals.
The darker the color of the crystals, the more precious they will be, and who knows if the humans living in the city today will be just green, cyan, blue, or even purple crystals in the future?
When you keep a long vigil in the long night, you can't help but think of yourself, and even think of yourself.
Autumn in the north finally disappeared one night, and when the frost suddenly appeared, winter quietly came.
They hunted animals to get a part of the fur, which was redundant at the moment, and there was not much room for the backpack, but they chose high-quality leather, tied up and carried, and they lost it along the way, and they didn't care too much.
It's almost time in the Changbai Mountains, and it's time to return.
The night before they were confirmed, Cheng Jiayi and Du Yiyi couldn't sleep well. More than half a month of living in the jungle has made their bodies stronger and more responsive, but it has not achieved the effect they wanted.
And this nearly a month of completely detached from the crowd's life has also made their personalities change. They were more silent than before.
If it was the night watch before, they would light the fire farther away, listen to the movement in the mountains and forests with their ears pricked up, and also talk quietly. Now, their fire was so close to the tent that they both looked up at the stars in silence.
The starry sky is as bright as ever, however, their hearts have gradually lost their former dreams, dreams, expectations for the future, and even the psychology of pursuing the truth.
It was only lost for a short time, and the jungle hunt made their lives only two words, life and death, they lived, and the prey died. As a result, their lives became monotonous, and only life and death remained.
The monotonous life can make people have more time to think, and more thinking brings them more confusion now.
Fang Tao came out of the tent, sat silently beside them, and added a handful of firewood to the still burning fire.
No one spoke, they all looked at the crackling and burning fire.
"In three or four days, you'll be back at the beach." Fang Tao broke the calm.
Cheng Jiayi and Du Yiyi both looked at the fire. They knew before today, and they knew they were going back.
"It should be ready over there." Fang Tao threw another handful of firewood, and the fire suddenly became vigorous.
