Chapter 13: New Species
Jiang Yilang followed Drew's steps upward, and the intense heat had been transmitted to his calves through the soles of his shoes, and the sweat was almost lost.
The four of them rushed excitedly towards the sand dunes, but there was no hope at the bottom of the dunes, the basin here was still a hot desert, and the only consolation was that the angle of the sun made a subtle shade below.
Drew slid sideways down the sand dunes, and the slight drop in ground temperature was slightly comfortable: "Come down." ”
Jiang Yilang pulled the thunder dragon and slid down together, and inadvertently a mouthful of sand poured in, blocking his entire throat: "Ahem...... What to do next, we are going to continue east? ”
Kamei rushed down, waving his hands and hurriedly dodging into the shadows: "Can you hide here until the sun goes down?" ”
"Nonsense, the temperature plummets when the sun goes down, and the sub-zero temperature will also make us cold to death." Drew showed that he had studied the desert very much, "Bypassing this basin, there is still hope ......"
"What if it's still a desert after the past?" Brontosaurus's lips trembled, his physical strength had reached the limit, and all that was left was to complain, "How can there be such a vast desert in the Eastern Hemisphere, this is different from our cognition!" ”
Jiang Yilang understood what Lei Long meant, according to the official propaganda of the alliance, the global desertification problem has long been solved, but the current situation and the common sense he have obtained are seriously unequal: "Could it be that the official propaganda is lying, why should it deceive the people?" ”
Kamei choked up with difficulty: "The propaganda we received when we were born was a good world, and you say this is equivalent to overturning the fact that 1+1=2!" ”
Drew adjusted his breathing heavily, noticing the shadow below, which was getting smaller as the sun rose: "There's no time, there's hope for going on." ”
"Rustling ......" At this time, there was a sound in the dune wall behind him, and some of the sand on the cross-section began to collapse, revealing various uneven holes.
Jiang Yilang felt a chill on his back, turned around and jumped, and saw the largest circular cave exposed where he was lying: "Everyone be careful." ”
The crowd had no weapons, so they could only symbolically clench their fists in defence.
In just a few minutes, the entire basin at the bottom of the sand dunes revealed a dense shape, with a deep cold air inside, and countless eyes staring at a few people blinking.
Brontosaurus was exposed to the sun, and due to excessive tension, he collapsed in a coma.
Kamei squatted down and protected the Brontosaurus with her body, her cheeks already flushed: "What will live in this cave in the desert?" ”
"Click." I saw a strange figure flash in the black hole, this figure crawled on all fours like a dog, and the proportions and length of its body were extremely incongruous.
"What's that?" Drew was bold and slowly poked his head into the cave.
Jiang Yilang kept following the figure and moved his gaze, and immediately locked it at a hole: "It's there, it's looking at us, ahead!" ”
Drew sprinted along the instructions, but before he could probe, he saw a yellow, leg-like object come out of the hole and kick him directly in the abdomen: "Wow! ”
Jiang Yilang went up to support Drew, but he didn't expect the owner of the limb to jump out of the cave with this kick, and this pair of eyes frightened everyone and staggered to the ground.
On the desert, a humanoid creature with dry skin fell on its stomach on all fours, its round head had black hair, its eyes smaller than that of ordinary humans, its nostrils were large, its mouth turned into crimson lips, and its back was like a camel's carrying two bulging skin sacs.
"Weird...... Monster ......" Kamei dropped the brontosaurus and wanted to run, but at this time, the same creatures crawled out of the surrounding caves, "Help! ”
Jiang Yilang spitted, his hands couldn't help trembling, but he didn't feel danger in his eyes when he looked at this creature: "Drew, what is this?" ”
Drew clutched his stomach, and the kick was heavy, as if he had been kicked by a camel: "The AI database has never mentioned such a creature. ”
"Our ancestors were also human!" The creature made the same voice as a human, with the only flaw being that it was particularly hoarse, "We are a new species of human beings adapted to the earth's environment, camel people. ”
"Yes...... Talking. Jiang Yilang looked around, these guys were clearly crawling on all fours, but they called themselves people, "How can you be human." ”
The camel man's hands and bones suddenly trembled, and he jumped up supporting his slender body, standing in front of everyone, his overall height exceeded 2 meters: "Is this a human appearance!" ”
Jiang Yilang looked up at this giant, the muscles on his body were obviously outlined, but there was not much flesh, except for the slightly deformed proportions, ugly appearance, and wrists like hooks, all the characteristics were close to humans: "Camel people, why are there camel people!" ”
"Poof...... the camel man finally crawled on all fours on the sand again, he slowly approached Drew, and rolled up some sand as he exhaled, "Look at your state of being banished from the city." ”
"Banishment?" Drew and Jiang Yilang looked at each other, a word that made people feel ashamed.
"Sir...... No, I mean, do you know the direction of Ju'an City? Jiang Yilang felt strange to communicate with a new species that did not look like humans, "We are going back to Ju'an City!" ”
"My name is Vinda, and my father gave it to me after the name of a classical human." Wenda the camel man is a kind fellow, "The Ju'an City you mentioned is the last place of hanging of classical humans. ”
Jiang Yilang gasped: "Your father...... How many generations did it take for humans to evolve to become what you are? Wait, what's the last place to hang? ”
"It's a high-end evolution to adapt to the desertification environment." Drew pointed to the caves around him, "Wenda, if I'm not mistaken, you must have been living underground for a long time. ”
There was no expression on Wenda's face: "The greenhouse effect has intensified, the degree of desertification on the earth has increased, the environment is getting worse and worse, and my ancestors have no way to live except for going underground!" ”
In the desert, the surface temperature is too high during the day and the temperature drops sharply at night, and the overheating and cold force human beings to evolve rapidly, which is the meaning of life.
"Is the greenhouse effect intensifying?" Jiang Yilang knew that Wenda had no need to lie to him, although the roots were human, but at present, it was a dialogue between the two races, "Could it be that the high-ranking people in the city have deceived all humans, what is a beautiful earth like?" ”
At this time, there was a female camel man, her sexual characteristics were not much different from men, the only difference was the outline of her chest and lower limbs: "This is the doubt of all the exiles, you can choose to live with us in the underground abyss, or you can go to the front to see, it is very close to your life, of course, whether you can survive depends on whether you can adapt to the environment and evolve rapidly." ”
"Keep saying hanging, hanging?" Drew didn't have a taste in his heart, and in front of the new species, humans couldn't raise their heads at all, "Your underground abyss is just below these caves?" ”
Wenda nodded, and a hand reached out, as if inviting the guests: "Of course, you can only crawl in on all fours, just like the new human in front of you is entering the ground for the first time, you can use the cave we dug to enter, it's easy." ”
Jiang Yilang stopped Kamei, who was fleeing, and the guy was being taunted by the camel people around him: "We can go in and have a look, but Ju'an City is our destination." ”
"Before you go to the Hanging Ground, you can rest for a day in the Underground Abyss." Wenda led a few people to the cave with a look of pity, "I'm sorry, I just think you'll never be able to go back to Ju'an City." ”
