Chapter 831: Amber
There was snickering all around.
Obviously, the appearance of this monkey-like little girl doubled Chu Ge's "Living Treasure Index".
Rao is Chu Ge's face is as thick as a city wall, and he can't help but blush a little - it's one thing to eat and drink if no one is next to him, and it's another thing to grab food with a little girl.
"Here you go."
Chu Ge coughed dryly and let go.
The little girl was tug-of-war, but I didn't expect him to suddenly let go, using too much force, sitting on the ground with her buttocks, grinning in pain.
However, she didn't bother to express her dissatisfaction with Chu Ge, but focused her hot eyes on the roast pork leg in her arms, and then, with a bite of "Ahh
Chu Ge didn't expect a little girl's mouth to open so wide.
I've never seen such a greedy eater.
Compared with this little girl's gobbling, the way he ate just now was simply a personable anorexia.
Chu Ge looked around and found that on the opposite table, all the food that was originally full was gone.
Chu Ge blinked, making sure that he was not mistaken, five minutes ago, it was still full of roasted whole pigs, roasted whole sheep, roasted beef legs and other "hard dishes", like towering mountains of meat, which were the target of Chu Ge's next strategy, but at this moment, it turned into a pile of gnawed and pitted bone shelves.
In such a high-end and high-grade business dinner, "hard dishes" and "horizontal goods" have never been popular.
Chu Ge estimated that except for himself and this mysterious little girl who had a lot of food like a dinosaur, other guests would definitely not be able to do something like holding a leg of beef and mutton, one bite on the left and one bite on the right.
So, she did it?
When did she appear, how fast did she eat, and even the waiters next to her were stunned, not caring about cleaning up the mess?
Chu Ge's gaze fell on the little girl again, and found that she had gnawed a roast pork leg cleanly, and the hard pork bone stick was easily bitten off, and she was sucking the bone marrow inside!
It's a little interesting, Chu Ge's gaze is deep, this little girl should also be an awakened person, right?
Chu Ge has a very simple standard for measuring the combat effectiveness of the awakened - the more you eat, the more powerful you must be.
With the physiology of ordinary people, it is impossible for a weak stomach to digest a whole roast pork leg at a time, and a monster that can swallow thirty or fifty pigs, beef and mutton legs in one breath must be incredibly powerful, even if he has never learned to fight, he can crush all the way with his strong and unparalleled energy.
The little girl sucked the bone marrow and burped unsatisfied.
Feeling Chu Ge's interested gaze, she used the broken pork bone to pick her teeth and looked at Chu Ge curiously.
Maybe it was Chu Ge's behavior of taking the initiative to let go just now and giving up the roast pork leg to her favor, she blinked her eyes, not afraid of Chu Ge's appearance at all, and her round eyes were also full of curiosity.
At this time, the waiters brought another round of ingredients.
Chu Ge gestured to the little girl: "You please first, don't worry, there is food." ”
The light in the little girl's eyes immediately turned into a flame of joy, almost jumping onto the table like a high diving athlete jumping into the pool, a fierce man plunged into the mountain of meat, Chu Ge really couldn't look at it, coughed dryly, simply replaced the waiter, helped the little girl serve two large plates of hard dishes, and the two went to the corner to eat and chat together.
"Do you speak Mandarin?"
In the corner, Chu Ge and the little girl each held a pair of beef and mutton legs, gobbling up and wind, competing for eating speed and communicating at the same time.
The two of them gnawed dozens of pounds of beef and mutton legs into a bone stick that did not leave a shred of meat, and looked at each other, and couldn't help but give birth to a chess opponent, a good talent, sympathy for each other, and a sense of knowing heroes and valuing heroes.
Although Chu Ge didn't understand the dialect and native language in the rainforest, he had received accelerated training from the Seventh Division of the Special Investigation Bureau, and even the rat clan of the Long Fang Kingdom could communicate, even if the little girl was deaf and mute, it would not be difficult for him.
What's more, the little girl is much smarter and more civilized than he imagined, and she is not really a primitive person who has traveled from the wild years to the modern age.
I saw the little girl nodded, poked her chest with her greasy fingers, and said in a crisp and pleasant voice: "I, called, Amber." ”
Although her Mandarin level is not a full circle, it is also clear enough that Chu Ge thought to herself, she must have had contact with people outside the tribe and learned the language and rules outside.
"My name is Chu Ge."
Chu Ge helped the little amber girl hand over a roasted beef leg, and also helped her smear a large amount of Nanyang's unique spice and sour sauce very intimately.
"Amber, who did you come here with?"
Looking at the little girl's innocent appearance, Chu Ge's curiosity became stronger and stronger, "Does no one care about you?" ”
"Sister."
Amber's two cheeks have been stuffed into two bulging mountain buns by beef and mutton, and she said vaguely, "My sister brought Amber here to eat delicious food, and said that she would introduce a friend who can eat very well to meet Amber, ahhhh ”
"Sister? A friend who can eat very well? ”
Chu Ge scratched his head, why did it sound so familiar?
"Huh-"
Dr. Li Xinlian's voice came from behind Chu Ge, and he said in surprise, "Amber, expert Chu, it turns out that you already know each other?" ”
The corners of Chu Ge's eyes twitched.
Sure enough, the amber was brought by Dr. Li Xinlian, and he is the "friend who can eat very well"!
Since they are all acquaintances, it is easy to do.
Although Amber was born in the depths of the rainforest, she had already had contact with Dr. Li Xinlian's research team and learned a lot of language and common sense from the outside world.
In just a few words, Chu Ge understood the reason why Dr. Li Xinlian brought Amber here.
Chu Ge guessed correctly, although the human civilization in the twenty-second century has been unprecedentedly developed, it has not yet thoroughly explored every corner of the earth, and even in countless inaccessible paradises, there are still some compatriots who have been lost on the road of evolution.
As the outside world changes day by day, and all the way through the evolutionary path of steam, electricity, nuclear energy, and information, these lost tribes are like little bugs sealed in amber, forever in a state of innocence that has just escaped ignorance.
In central Africa, there are many isolated tribes that still hunt and survive in the same way as they did thousands of years ago.
There are similar tribes in the Amazon jungle of South America, and there is even a sinister legend of "headhunters", who once had drones flying over their tribe and taking a lot of photos, and their approach to external intrusion was to shoot drones into hedgehogs with a large number of feathered arrows.
The Amber tribe is one of the lost tribes that have been sealed in this way.
According to Dr. Li Xinlian's research, they should belong to a certain branch of the "Austronesians" who crossed the sea from the mainland more than 8,000 years ago and spread all the way to the South Seas and even Australia.
When the ancestors arrived at an island in the archipelago dotted with seas, pleasant environment and abundant materials in the South Seas, some of the tribesmen were deeply attracted by this quiet and rich world and settled here for a long time, while the other part of the tribe drove the canoe and continued to chop the waves and rush towards the unknown south, becoming the prototype of the later Australian and New Zealand aborigines.
An overly superior environment is both a blessing and a curse, and for the next 8,000 years, the ancestors of Amber have been living on their own small islands, like flowers in a greenhouse, since there is no problem in survival, they have lost the power of evolution, and slowly become living fossils and the like, and in the end, even the ability to make and control canoes to ride the wind and waves has gradually deteriorated, completely cutting off the possibility of contact with the outside world.
In the era of great geographical discoveries and global wars, this literal paradise miraculously avoided all the nuisances of the outside world, and even in the information age when global satellites were in synchronous orbits, because of the scarcity of the people and the abundance of vegetation on the islands, they have not been discovered and disturbed - if ignorance is a happiness, Amber's ancestors must be the happiest people in the world.
It wasn't until the Calamity that the greenhouses were broken, and the Amber people saw for the first time the power of storms, the horror of earthquakes, the despair of volcanic eruptions, and the malice that had accumulated in the whole world for eight thousand years, like a brain pouring down on them.
In just ten years, the Amber community has lost nine-tenths of its people, and the paradise has become devastated and unrecognizable, and the ecological environment has changed drastically, making it no longer suitable for survivors to thrive.
